make themselves obnoxious to the people as whole, even to the decent people of their own race, It is about time something was done to rid New London of this growing nuisance and there should be an end to the pro miscOuS dumping of such trash into the community.
 It is perhaps more than passing strange, politically, with the state con Ventions nearing the holding period, that New London has not come to the front with a candidate for almost every office or both state tickets, the candidates not necessarily being New Londoners, bu1 handled by politicians of this city. So far as known there are no candidate boomers just at this moment in New London, but no one knows what may happen in that line between Snow and the conventions Some one, however, whose identity is familiar with the political game, has started little boom for State At tOrney Hadlai A. HUll as democratic candidate for governor, and in sup port of the bOOmlet goes on and tells what the major has done for his state and country. All of which is true and much more could be said Of the quail fications of the major
 But who said Major Hull was CSHOCFaTt 7e may De very SOod man for governor, but democrats, like republicans, want dyed-i the-wOOl men of their respective parties to head the state ticket. It may be 9. year ago, but it does not seem so long, since Major Hull headed procession of republicans in New LonGon and which would serve as CirCumstantial evil dencc that he was a republican. He has been registered as a republican and participated in republican caucus in the days that have gone. By put ting the past and the present to- gcther, the question of the Majors democracy might possible be a matter of mild discussion. But it might be explained that Major Hull is still a democrat, but not a tMahan democrat.
 It was an injustice to the demo- cratic party as whole when Mr. Mahan selected himself to be post master at New London and thus re- move himself from active politics. Is it possible should the opportunity offer, that he would question the de- noCracy of Major Hull, and the major would be disappointed if he did not There would be charges and counter charges on that particular point if these gentlemen get together in con EentiCn or other political gatherings. Strange as it may seem there are democrats tn New London who have ventured to doubt the democracy of Bryan F. Mahan. So there you are.

If we could only know what the weather was going to be a week ahead, or even a full day ahead that would help some. And so. from the be- sinnings of agriculture, men have sought for signs" in all directions and from all sources, to gain even such shOrt-range indications
 Pretty nearly every farmer who has lived long in one neighborhOod has come to connect certain natural Oc- cUrrCuces or certain animal move ments with the approaching weather. One farmer has one set of signs on which he pins his faith: another farm CT has a more or less different set. Anyone follows the predictions of these weather WiseaCrcs is bound to admit often, shat there is something more than mere coincidence about the way things come to pass

WHEAT DROPS ON CHICAGO
MARKET 3 TO 5 CENT.

Chicago, Nov. 2S.-The wheat mar
ket was "A most sensational affair yes
terday. II was the property of the
bears during the first half Of the ses-
sion and they made the most of 1t. On
the way down there were millions of
bushels of the various futures dropped
by the speculative way-side, this grain
was allowed to dribble out slowly ear
ly. but when stop loss orders appear
ed on the surface there vas wheat to
come from all directions and from all
interests. The breaks show to the
holder that his judgement was any.
thing but good, that he had allowed
several days of declining market 10

Il was his one desire TO grade off the
remnant of profits left and this one

this he unsold many of his competitors.
tn, cby forcing values downward. On.
the lotion prices reached an almost
complete reversal of conditions. Shorts
and long investors bid for wheat in Il
most persistent manner and reactions
and advances of ! 5-S to , cents from
lowest points were made. With these
late price gains there were net losses
Of 3 to 1 Is cents. The volume Of
trade was big and the price trend was
n most uncertain one.
What caused the early selling?
Rain in Argentine, where there has
been n drought for several months.
The harvesting there generally in De
cember, which corresponds with July
in America. but the cutting of wheat
has been done in exceptional seasons rs
late as February. Owing to drought
harvesting this year is earlier than
usual.
The question as to the leading buy.
ers Of wheat on the decline of yester-
day, naturally arises: A few ventur-
ed the opinion that domestic shorts
were the larger buyers of the season,
while many named farmers by far the
liberal purchasers and the latter was
probably correct. 4 Baltimore mes

said that a big business in cash wheat
for export was reported and right ar
ter the close. it vas learned that one
million bushels were taken in all posi-.
tions.
Coarse grains were lower along with
wheat. Shorts, rs well as, long sold
corn freely and liquidation by longs il
oats was heavy.

ROCK ISLAND WILL BUILD 4
NEW DEPOT AT HUTCHINSON

Hutchinson. Kas., Nov 2s.-As soon
as the Rock Island railroad is out of
the hands of a receiver, says the News
at Hutchinson. land the finances are
Strengthened out. not more than six
months, it is thought this city is to
have two new depots. That is the re-
port received by local men who have
met high officials Of the road recently
and they say the long deferred plan
to build here is to be carried out.
The plans include a passenger sta
ton at Walnut street, a block east Of
Main, about where the small express
Office now stands. This will give a
plenty of room for the long trains &c
stop without blocking Main street and
will make the station handy for pas
sengers. All the sheds, tracks and
other equipment close to the tracks on
the north side will be torn out.
The freight office as it now stand
will be torn down, as it is practically
worthless, being a mere frame shell
The dock is good, but it will have t.
be moved in the changes to be made
to make way for the passenger sta.
ton. A new freight depot of brici
for the Office and n new type Of en-.
closed dock will be erected, starting a
Main street and running east, at the
north edge of the right of way Of the
railroad.
During the summer the Rock Island
sent men here to go over the passen.
ger station with a view to overhaulinf
it and installing new Offices. Some
material was sent but the alterations
were called off by high officials.
The foregoing article in the Hutch
inson News, gives us faith in the Of
promises that Tucumcari would re
ceive a new depot some sweet day. ,
few years x the officials had a larg,
amount of materials hauled and un
loaded in Tucumcari with the idea q,
building a new depot then and there
but something caused them to chang,
their minds so the old depot still i
present in Tucumcari and unless tn.
new owners who will take charge o
the Rock Island lines see fit to bull,
us a depot the old one may be doin,
duty for some time TO come. The cit
Lens of Tucumcari like the Rock Islam,
and the Rock Island officials seem Il
like Tucumcari but if they will see f
to build a new depot here the citizen
will do more than like them. It's
cinch IL the citizens don't ask it the,
will not receive it. If we go after i
like we did the Y. M. c. A. we ma,
do some good.

VILLA TAKES CH|HUA.
HUA...REPORTEO He
WILL TAKE JUAREz

III Paso, Nov. 3O.-Consul General
Andreas q. Garcia last night emphat-
ically denied the report that the Car
rancitas intended TO drop shells into
FL Paso in case Villa bandits came to
occupy Jaurez, with the expectation OF
causing the American soldiers To cross
the Rio Grande and thus cheat the
bandits out of victory. Mr.. Garcia
declared Juarez was garrisoned with
800 to 900 soldiers and thus be able to
resist as large a force of bandits n
could he brought against it.
I'VE are not that kind Of fighters
who would fire shells into FL Paso,"
Mr.. Garcia said. 1--WE have no desire
to encourage any armed force of men,
Americans or any other nationality, to
come into Mexico. The report is re-
diculous.
"The reason General Osuma and his
soldiers were sent to Sauz was to keep
the bandits from advancing toward
Juarez, and protect the border from
the Villistas. The border is safe now,
and there is no danger of an attack on
Juarez at all. Why anyone would say
that the Carrancistas would fire shells
into FL Paso before fleeing from the
town is incomprehensible. We do not
resort to that kind of tactics"
The report III current yesterday
that the Villistas intended to occupy
.Juarez and that their entry will not
be opposed.
Late last night it was reported that
the garrison at Guadalupe, several
miles down the river, intended to turn
over to the Legalistas tonight or to-
morrow night.
Carranza officials on the border are
inclined TO blame the United States for
the loss Of C~huahuahua City. citing the
fact that General Trevino was forced
to evacuate only when his ammunition
became exhausted. Had it not been
for the embargo on munitions, rigidly
enforced by the United States at all
border points. Trevino would have been
well supplied and could easily, it is
claimed. worn the bandits out and de-
feated them at his leisure.
Victory. local representatives of the
de facto government point out, will

ridges, and it must come quickly, since
the supplies on both sides must be neal
exhaustion at the scene Of the battle
and the sending of supplies from Mex
leo City is u slow and dangerous pro
cess. owing to bandit inroads along
the Durango border. On the othel
hand, with the embargo lifted, tn,
forces retreating to the north could b,
re-supplied quickly. 1t Is said on goot
authority that even Juarez would dil
up gold and pay a premium to recu
perate its diminished supplies, fol
lowing the shipment to Trevino foul
days ago which fell into the hands o.
Villistas.
At the present time, Carranza Off
Gals point out, the price of the re
tirement Of the Pershing expedition i
the elimination of Villa. Yet the Car
rancistas may lose to Villa, il the.
have not already lost, because the.
were not allowed to get ammunition
from this side.
