 der Corrupt Practices Act.

Long Milling Company, has returned to Little after a 30 days drive, during which time he visited a number of towns in South Arkansas, and as far in Louisiana as Alexandria and Shreveport.

TREATY SIGNED,
 BALKAN WAR ENDS
MOntenegrin Delegate Says Terms DeSpOiled His Nation of Fruits of Victory, but Signed Because
 Nothing Else to Do.

London, May 3O,-The eight months war between Turkey and the allied Balkan states is ended. The "pece of London was signed today in the picture gallery of St.. James palace. Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, pre- sided over the formalities.
 The only dramatic feature of the historic was NJ. Popovitch's express sion of keen disappointment that Montenegro had been "despoiled of her just share of the spells of a triumphant war;" and of the hope that England, which took the lead in the spoliation, would take every step to compensate Montenegro for her sacrifice"
 The actual ceremony was very brief. The delegates signed the treaty without reading it, evidently in full confidence that all the seven articles were in such wording as the powers chose to have them.
 Were Forced to Sign.
 Mr. Popoyitch, the Montenegrin chief delegate, after signing the treaty made short speech. We have signed the preliminary treaty" he said, because nothing else re- mained for us to do. We are glad to have peace, but are profoundly dissatisfied with the terms we have been obliged to accept. We have been despoiled of the fruits of our victory. We have been made the whipped boy of Europe. Great Britain took the leading part in de- priving us of Scutari. We look here to secure a modification of the AL banian frontier, so as to give us lands for cultivation and a natural route between Podgoritza and Ipek."

An Inierestina Fruit.

Some years ago Pole McPhetrige sent to nursery on the banks of Lake Erie for a collection of shrub bery, and secured probably the largest variety ever brought to- .gether in Polk county. One of these is the Burberry, which has devel- oped into a bush about fifteen feet high and having a spread of some thing like ten feet. This now is loaded with berries of pinkish color and in a measure resembling cher ries. which are said to be excellent for jelly, tarts, etc. The Barberry is said to be a very prolific bearer.
