The Seven Cent Egg.

Eggs have risen to 84 cents a dozen in New York City, and meat, too, is scarce and high.
 There is easy explanation for the meat. The ranges are dis appearing, the stock raising business has not been readjust- ed to the idea of getting along without range stockers and feeders, and pending that read justment at least scarcity and high prices are inevitable.
 But eggs don't require big areas for production. No great capital is required to produce them. The poultry and egg bus mess is profitable. Why don't more people get into it?
 The answer seems to be that folks are not caring about earn ing modest money in modest ways any more. They don't want to be bothered with "a few hens or a kitchen garden" such as used to belong to almost every village and small town home Who makes garden" nowadays in his "back yard?" Yes, there are some of him left, true enough; but his kind is disap- bearing. Most of him lives where he can't make a garden he is fussing with spark plug instead of spade.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

SCOTT GIVEN
 TWENTY ONE YEARS
Sentence For Murder In Second Degree In Trial For Murder
 of His Wife.

Jonesboro, Nov. 20.-Jim Scott will serve twenty-one years for the brutal murder of his wife, who was beat to death by him with a stick of stove wood while being dragged from a neighbours house to his own, according to the verdict of twelve men representing Craig head c0unty'S citizenship, re- turned about noon today. The verdict came as a surprise for If there was ever crime commit ted in Craighead county where the death penalty should have been executed it was the crime of Jim Scott. He beat to death in the most cruel manner a poor, weak, helpless woman, only be- cause she had done some little thing that did not please him.
 The case went to the jury last night after the argument was finished, which was near onto II o'clock, the court holding a night session in order to get through with the case. They considered up to noon today and finally reached a verdict of second de- gree murder and gave him the highest sentence-21 years in the penitentiary. The attorneys for the defendant offered to en- ter a plea of guiltyto 2nd degree murder without a trial and take a sentence of twenty-one years, but Prosecuting Attorney Hud- dleston knowing any such com

1eggs Escape But Are Caught.

Russellville, Nov. 20.-Aided by a confederate, who unlocked the door of the jail while the iailer was at lunch, George B. Thompson and Richard Reynolds held as members of a gang of bank robbers, escaped at l2::30 this afternoon, and at 3 30 were captured by Deputy Sheriff Rush McArthur and Jack Love, South ern League baseball player, while hiding in the foliage of a fallen tree. They made no re- sistance. An unidentified man was arrested late this afternoon as the accomplice who opened the cell door. No charge has been made against him yet, but he will be held on suspicion.
 Returning to the jail after lunch, the jailer discovered that the two men were gone, and he promptly gave the alarm. The gang of which Thompson and Reynolds are alleged members are charged with the daring rob- bery of the bank in Dardanelle. Nearly all the men in the com munity joined in the chase after the two men who, it was believ- ed, would render a desperate re- sistance.
 The officers and the volun- teers scattered and soon learned the fugitives had left the freight at the coal chute, several miles away. Marshal Ned Ed wards and Deputy McArthur and Love went to the country around the coal chute and began search. A large tree had fallen during a storm short while ago and Marshal Edwards passed it, but McArthur and Love moved aside the branches and found the two men hiding beneath the foliage. Covering them with their revolvers they ordered the alleged yeggs to surrender. The men obeyed without resistance and were taken back to jail. A constant watch will be kept over them in the future, it was said.
 The men will be tried on Mo- vember at Dardanelle for rob- bery of the bank here. They will be prosecuted by Prosecuting Attorney A. s. Hays and Ed ward Gordon, assistant prosecut- or.
