RA|SEDBY LUMBER TRUST" Flooring Has Advanced $13
 Since 1894 MOREHEAD ON STAND Testifies in Missouri Trial That Five w)Increases Were Dictated During
 1905-Price Lists Be-
 ing Issued
MOREHEAD ON STAND

Jefferson City, Mo, June 29.-ln the states. custer suit against 39 lumber companies alleged to be in a trust, J. R. Morehead of Lexington, Mo, retail dealer, and former president of the Southwestern Lumbermen's association, today testified that prices on yellow pine flooring advanced from $1650 per 1000 feet in 1894 to S29.50 at the present time.
 He said that increases were quoted him five times in 1905, but he did not testify that the prices were advanced lmmedi- ately after the price list of the Southern Lumbermen's association was issued. He said it was the natural inference that the raise by dealers followed the issuance of the price list.
 Prices which were d,'eted to him by differe. companies, M. ttat, lestited, were generally the same but if one com- pany was overstocked on certain grades that company quoted a lower price,
 Morehead testified that while he was president of the Southwestern associa- ton he never collected fines from mem- bers invading the dstricted territory of another dealer, but that the secretary might have collected them before the by law was abolished in 1903.
 John D. Ridenour testified that his com pany did business at Green Ridge un- der the name of the Green Ridge Lumber company, a co-partnership of men worth S200, GOO.
 Ridenour's Orders Refused
 He testified that he had trouble in get ting lumber in 1905 and 1906 as his orders were refused or cancelled. His application for membership in the Southwestern Lum- Der Dealers association was denied by Secretary H. A. Gorsuch of Kansas City he testified, because 1t was said his firm was not composed of legitimate lumber dealers.
 His testimony apparently showed that the Fordyce Lumber company of Fordyce Ark, a member of the Southern Lumber Manufacturers association, refused him a shipment of lumber for the same reason
 Letters tending to show conspiracy against Didenour were real into the rec ord just before the hearing closed.
 The state will take time to examine the transcript of the evidence before announc- ing whether it will take further testi- mony The hearing adjourned subject to the call of Special Commissioner Key holds.

FIGHT THE FLIES.

Kill the flies before the flies kill
you" This might be said to be the
war cry of physicians and sanitarians
throughout the United States. The
war Is on In earnest and as the move
ment grows In age 1t gains In strength,
until the movement Is today sweeping
the country in a mighty wave. The
fly is recognized by sanitarians every
where as the greatest spreader of dis
ease, not alone Of typhoid fever, but
Of other diseases just as deadly. The
leading medical authorities of the army
and hospitals throughout the country
are studying the problem Of extermi-
mating the pest and while progress has
been made, the fight has only begun.
The local board Of health began its
fight several weeks ago when 1t in
augurated its cleanup day, and the
temporary results were quite satisfac-
tory. In furthering its efforts for bet
ter sanitation In Yorkville, the board
has invited DR.. ]. LaBruce Ward, SAN
itary officer Of the state board Of
health, to visit Yorkville on Thursday
and give them such assistance as he
can In making the sanitary conditions
of the town better than they are,
though II Is known that sanitary con-
ditions in Yorkville are far superior to
what are to be usually found in town
the size Of Yorkville. The local board
wants them to be better. Thursday
night DR.. Ward will deliver an Illus
trated lecture in the court house, on
the subject of Sanitation, and its. re-
lation to the fly" This lecture Is to be
free and everybody Is urged to attend.
Scientists are now charging the
common house fly as being RESPONSE
BILE for the spread Of nearly all the dis
eases to which the human family Is
heir. For quite while 1t has
been known that this insect was the
carrier of typhoid germs, but now 1t Is
practically settled that such dis
eases as summer complaint" in chill
dren, of whom thousands die
each year, are spread by the filthy
fly, and so are diarrhoea, tuberculosis.
dysentery, pink-eye among children,
parasitic worms and even diphtheria
and smallpox.
In a recent editorial on the fly the
New York Journal says in part:
Watch a fly alight upon lump Of
sugar. Note how he shuff1es his front
feet He Is wiping from his front feet
all the germs and filth he has brought
into the house. He leaves them on the
sugar. They are so small you can't
see them, but they are there by the
thousand just the same. See that ev-
cry door and every window Is tightly
screened close any apertures which
would admit flies. Have springs on
the doors so that they will slam tight
ly shut when you have passed through.
When you enter a room In your house,
look about for flies. II you see one, do
not let him escape alive. There Is no
more industrious spreader of disease
than the fly. Man has no more dam
gerous enemy than the fly"

There is no use now for regrets, but
the people of the Dutch Fork section
of Lexington county, who undertook
to deal out summary punishment on
the negro Collins, suspected of barn
burning, instead Of appealing to the
law, made a fearful mistake that cost
the life of ]. Pink Bouknight, who Is
described as "one Of the best citizens
of that section of the county" He lost
his life while member of a party
which was as lawless as the negro
who was under suspicion. If their
suspicious were we'll founded, the ne
gro could have been reached more ef-
fectively by the hand of the law, and
at less cost.

tlcn's first saloon smashing was done
in She barroom of the Carey hotel in
Wichita, December 81, 1900. She was
arrested and remained in Jail several
days before she was released on bond.
Remarkably few saloon men used vio-
lence in resisting Mrs. Nation although
she was attacked and badly hurt while
wrecking a bar at Enterprise, Kansas.
BY this time the state of Kansas was
in a foment. Aroused by the spirit of
the dauntless woman from Kentucky,
the people began to demand that all
the saloons be closed. Smashing par
ties were organized all over the state.
AS a result of the legislature which
strengthened the agitation, bills were
passed by the state prohibitory law.

THE CROPS.

Following the rain Of last Wednes-
day and Thursday and the showers
that have fallen since then there has
been a decided improvement in crop
conditions, especially in so far as those
conditions relate to stands Of cotton on
red lands.
The high temperatures Of Saturday,
Sunday and yesterday, coupled with
the moisture, has brought the cotton
through the top crust" almost as II
by magic.
A Yorkville gentleman, who Is
large planter himself and whose busi-
ness brings him In close touch with
farmers generally, said last night in
reply to question as to crop condi-
tions:
We'll, the rains Of the past few days
have done the work. Fields Of cotton
especially red lands, which a week
ago, showed only an occasional stalk
of cotton, can now be 'rowed from end
to end And while that cotton has
probably come to a stand. 1 don't be-
lieve that 1t is possible for it to make
anything like full crop"
Asked as to how much he would es-
innate the probable yield now, he said
that he did not think it would make
over a half to two-thirds Of an aver
age crop.
Continuing he said, PERSONALLY
am more worried about my corn than
am about the cotton. l have a field
Of corn, that Is nearly waist high, on
which / have used about a ton Of fer
tilizer to the acre and 1t Is just at that
stage that it needs rain and lots Of 1t
to make a crop and unless 1t gets plen-
ty of rain pretty soon / am going to
be hurt"

effect that those vicinitiCs had good
rains yesterday afternoon.

The Case of VIM. Jassers.
Among the applications for pardon
recently refused by Governor Blease
was that Of VIM. Jaggers Of York. The
following facts about Jaggers appeared
in The Enquirer Of July 81, 1900:
October g. 1899. He was tried at the
November term of court following and
convicted of murder with a recon-
mendation to the mercy of the court.
Major James F. and Mr.. John r. Hart
conducted the defense. They appealed
to the supreme court and secured a
new trial. In the second trial the evil
dence was very much the same as In
the first, except there was a larger
number Of witnesses. The plea was
self defense. There was some evil
dence to establish this plea; but not
enough. The jury remained out some-
thing more than an hour and finally
returned with the same verdict that
had been rendered by its predecessor
guilty, with a recommendation to the
mercy Of the court. Upon being ask
ed by the court as to whether he in
tended to proceed any further, Major
Hart replied that he had done all that
he could and that the prisoner would
submit to sentence. Judge Benet told
Jaggers that the former jury had done
its duty, as had also this one-that In
his judgment guilty with a recommen-
dation to mercy was right; but that In
the circumstances he had good reason
to thank God that the verdict had not
been plain murder. He then proceeded
to pronounced sentence of imprison-
ment during the whole Of the prison.

A rumor from Columbia is to the

Blease together" and thus put an end
to the disclosures of dispensary graft

that the effort will not be successful.
The truth will come out sooner or lat

opened, it will be just as well for the
truth to come out now as later on. 1t
is supposed that the effort to hush

A Columbia dispatch says that a
fight will be commenced in every state
in the United States to secure reduced
express rates. A good place to start
would be in congress by insisting on a
parcels post law. The passage of such
a law would render a fight on the eX-
press companies a waste of time.
They would reduce the rates quick.
