assisted by DIR. e. V. Williams of
Lamar have established labora-
tory at Holly and are busy trying
to get at the true cause of the ter
rible plague that is destroying
horses In this section of the west.
DR.. Hasty of Lamar went down the
first of the week and went over
the infected territory with them
and reports the situation as very
serious. The Doctors brought a
large amount of vaccine with them
and If that proves the best meth
cd of saving the animals they will
be fixed to give assistance to all.
The let up towards the latter
part of last week proved only tenn
porary as the disease is spreading
again. The disease has already tax.
en- some of the finest stock in the
county and the losses of some of
the farmers are quite heavy. So
TAR it has not spread west of Bris-
'tI Qn the north side and Carlton
on the south side. but it strikes
50 sudden that all owners OF horses
should exercise every care possible
in looking after them.

Although the special session of
tshe legislature was held too late
to comply with all the provisions of
the constitution in regard to sub
hitting amendments, still the high
er courts have practically always
decided that vote of the people
wipes out all other defects, and
makes it lawful. 1t will now be
the duty of the people to vote on
thirty-two measures most of which
none of us understand. The best
plan to follow is If you are abso-

it. If not vote against it, A fail

Some exact statistics on crop
conditions and prices on September
l of this year have just been pub
lished by the bureau of statistics
of the United States department of
agriculture and they are certainly
most gratifying.
The composite condition of all
crops in the first of the present
month. the report goes on to say,
was 1873 per cent better than on
September l last year, and Al per
cent better than the average on
September l of recent years. The
average of farm prices on Septem-
Der. this year was in consequence
of the good crop prospects, 2.S per
cent lower than on September l
last year. and a per cent higher
than on the same date of 1910.
The indications are for a total
production of all cereals 3.016,-
900 tOns) or about 2O.3 per cent
more than last year, 6.1 per cent
more than in 1910, and 1862 per
cent more than in 1909. Potato
prospects are for about SO per
cent more than last year, IA per
cent more than in 1910. and 2 per
cent more than in 1909. Hay. es-
timated yield, is about 81 per cent
more than last year and per cent
more than in 1910 and 1909.
The total value of the crops this
year. it is claimed by experts will
exceed that of last year by more
than a billion dollars.
This means prosperity for not
only the American farmer. but the
merchant. the manufacturer and
the people.
A thing that will naturally tend
to Increase and emphasize this
prosperity. moreover. is the fact
that while the farmers of this land
are SO abundantly blessed with gen.
erous crop yields. reports from
Europe indicate that in that part
of the world conditions are quite
the reverse: in other words, the
staple European crops are said to
be the poorest in thirty yeSs. or
course. this is bad for the people
of Europe. but 1t will be a good
thing for them, as well as for our
selves. that this nation will have
abundance and to spare. Our sur
plus will go to feed the hungry mil
lions of European countries, and
thus their necessities will be met.
and with generous profits that will
go to enrich the citizens of this
land.
The only shadow on the horizon
is that the country has reached
the stage in which current politi-
cal national campaigns may be
expected to exert the usually I'M
settling influence incident to p
presidential campaign where the
issues are largely confined to eco
nomic policies the result of which
cause apprehension. The expert
ences of the 1892 campaign is by
no means forgotten. The contin-
uing of the Republican policies
or discarding those for tariff
for revenue only was the issue
then and the ascendency of the lat
ter plunged the country into the
most stupendous business. financial
and industrial depression the coun-
try ever experienced. Like causes
produce like results and the fear
OF history repeating itself causes
uneasiness at this time. The burnt
child breads the fire. 1t is up to
the American people to remember
1896 and settle this question in
manner to aid and augment the
prosperity already being experience
ed. Don't vote yourself out of

CHICAGO PACKERS FREED
OF TRUST LAW INDICTMENTS

Chicago Chicago packers ended a
ten years legal battle with the gov
eminent when jury in United States
District Judge Carpenters court
found them not guilty of violating the
criminal section of the Sherman anti
trust law.
Whether further Investigations into
the beef-packing industry will be
made, District Attorney Wilkerson re-
fused to say.
He was overwhelmed by the YER
dict. He had been confident fScon-
victions.
The verdict came after the jury had
been out 10 hours. At no time during
the deliberations were the packers in
danger. Only three ballots were
taken. The first was 8 to for &C
quittal, the second II to l, and the
third was unanimous.
Failure of the government to prove
its case beyond reasonable doubt was
responsible for the verdict, several
jurors said. They did not review the
exhibits in the case. The mass of fig
ures and reports mystifed them. To
have attempted to untangle them
would have been useless, it was
agreed.

4adero's General Advances Be-
cause Retreat Is Cut OF.
Aubsrt Believed to Be In Ignorance
OF Defeat Of AiIlss-vlctory
for Rebels Likely.

Jiminez, Mex.-Ceneral Trucy Au-
bert's retreat seems to have been
mask, for he 10 reported to have re-
organised his column Of federal troope
and to be returning to attack Jiminex.
1t was reported that he already had
engaged in battle ut Z place known a
Rancho San Pedro, 20 miles from this
city.
The government commands Of the
late General Salas and General Teller.
it is practically certain, have returned
to their base at Torreon. $50 miles
south of here, and it was Assumed
when Aubert broke camp and disap-
pearedC that he had seen the futility Of
attacking force outnumbering his
own at least two to one.
Information that he had halted his
retreat and was returning to the at
tack resulted in the cancellation of an
order issued early in the day for Gem
eral Campo with 600 of his rebels to
occupy Parral, two hours journey by
rail from here. Campo was ordered
to report at this place at once.
The rebel column, still at Escalon,
30 miles south of here, received orders
to proceed north to attack ALBERT in
the rear.
It is possible, though not probable,
that ALBERT has not heard Of the re-
pulse Of the other federal column and
still expects to be supported.
Reports were received showing that
General Aubert's return was not due
to his own choice, but to having met q
column of rebels in the mountains,
through which he was threading his
way.
The appearance Of the insurrectos,
who came from Corralitor, checked
him and he returned to the vicinity Of
Jiminez, evidently seeking a good de-
fensive position. His force Of 1900
is surrounded on three sides by 5000
rebels and fourth column is moving
into position.

GET MINIMUM WAGE BILL.
British Miners Will Fight Till Price
Is Fixed.

British Miners Will Fight Till Price
Is Fixed.
London "A fateful day in the his
tory OF British trade struggles came
to close with the passage through
parliament by large majority Of the
bill establishing in legislation the
principle OF q minimum wage scale in
the country's most important industry
coal mining. The minimum wage
bill passed its third reading in the
house Of commons by a vote Of 213 to
As amid scene Of great excitement.
The house of lords were assembled ct
2:50 o'clock to receive the bill and on
motion Of Lord Herschel it passed its
first reading.
Premier Asquith on leaving the
house Of commons was cheered loudly
by all the members.
After q strike lasting nearly q
month and involving the whole coun-
try in distress, the miners thus have
secured recognition of the principle
which they set out to obtain. But
they still are dissatisfied because the
bill does not specify the amount of the
minimum wage and there is no pros
pect OF an immediate settlement Of
the strike.
The miners leaders declare their
determination to keep up the strike
until they have secured guarantees of
minimum wage scale of 5 shillings
($1.25) for men, or until the district
boards as provided by the bill arrange
acceptable terms.
