NEW TREATMENT
 FOR DISLOYALTY Well kOnwn Pacifist Taken Out and
 Horsewhipped.

Cincinnati, O, Oct 29.-Herbert s. Bigelow, head of the Peoples Church of ohis city, one of the leaders of the Peoples Council, socialist and paci- fist, was taken into dense woods near Florence, Ky, shortly before midnight last night, tied to tree and horseWhipped by men 'who wore long robes and hoods, similar to those described as worn by the renowned s'Klu Klux Klan" according to a re- port from Florence this morning.
 The report stated that the party with Bigelow as prisoner, gagged and handcuffed, worked it's way to the center of the woods. Here they removed the handcuffs long enough to disrobe him, and then tied him to a tree. One of the leaders of the party then read from a piece of ppaer he held in his hand, with the light of a lantern held by one of his associates reflecting over his shoulder The reader said:
 ''In the name of the poor women and children of Belgium, this man should be whipped"
 At given signal another man. clad from head to foct i4 white, step- ped out of a huge circle that had been formed, drew long whip of the "backsnake' kind and delivered 12 lashes upon the back of Bigelow. The ropes were then cut. Bigelow was warned to stay away from Cincinnati and he was released, while the party made their way back to their waiting automobiles disappeared. Bige= low wandered an =hoHr in the woods and seeing tall church spire in the distance, he made his way there, find ing himself in Florence, Ky, about 20 miles from this city.
 Bigelow was taken into custody by five men as he was entering hall in the city of Newport, Ky, shortly before 8 o'clock last night. He was scheduled to address meeting of socialists. At the time of his appre- hension, handcuffs were put on him and he was hurriedly thrust into a waiting automobile and spirited away
 Recently federal authorities con- ducted raid on Bigelow's office in Cincinnati where documents concern ing the activities of the local Peoples Council were seized Sunday after noon. at his Peoples Church services, Bigelow prayed for the "repose of the soul Of Emperor William and the proud men surrounding him."

295 CARS OF APPLES
 SHIPPED UP TO DATE
Big Drop in Price of Dried Fruit
 During Past Week.

Including shipments up to Wednes- day of this week a total of 295 cars of apples have been shipped from Springdale the present season, and the total for the season will run over 300 cars.
 Following the rain of Sunday night there was a considerable drop in the temperature, and Monday night there was hard freeze, thermometers reg istering IS degrees above Tuesday morning. Apples that were still in the orchards were frozen, but the damage was not so great as many ex- peeted. While the frozen apples are not suited for cold storage or keeping purposes they were not injured for immediate consumption, and growers have been rushing them on the mar ket as rapidlZ.~xre-. possible There were four or fir9 S@4resTfn the Brogdon orchard that Aaught. by the

 ZQne~of the ser0tions= =6f=t1e fruit n1arketthe past week was the big dfop Saturday in the price of evapo- rated fruit. Most of the eYaporated fruit in this section has been purchas- ed by St. Louis houses, and there has been a good strong demand for it at 13 cents per pound St Louis buy CTS Saturday were instructed to buy no more fruit, and the price dropped to cents. This slump in price has caught practically every evaporator Tn this section, as the evaporator men have not been disposing of their pro- duct as rapidly as manufactured, most of them selling only what was neees- sary to pay running expenses of their plants. Every pound of evaporated apples sold at cents per pound will represent an actual loss to the man. ufacturer on account of the high price paid for the green stock. The price of apples for evaporating purposes dropped from 90 to 50 cents per hun dred following the drop in evaporated fruit prices.
 Ne one seems to know just exactly what caused the sudden drop in price of eyapefated fruit. It is rumored that expected action on the part of the National Food Control Committee is responsible. This committee has not yet taken any action concerning the fruit supply, but the wholesale buyers evidently are anticipating something of the kind. and, as a re- suit are playing hands off

In fact the general health of the entire battery, considering the regulations and the weather Is es- pecially good.
 Very little drill work has been in- dulged in the past week, the quaran- tine regulations making it almost im- possible, but the old infantry equip ment has been checked in, prepara- tory to the new issue, which will prob ably be given out when the troops reach Alexandria.
 This week notice was received of the strength of the 142 F A, of which Battery A is unit The regiment will be Heavy Field Artillery, equip ped with 6 inch howitzer guns There will be 1703 enlisted men in the or ganization, t404 horses and 184 mules. This means that most of the boys will have horse to take care of, and that they will most all be mounted The regiment will be equipped with 2f of the biz guns, 8 guns to a battalion, four guns to battery. 1t is also fe- ported that Battery A and Battery | will be combined, under the command of Captain Brogdon
 Foot ball practice for the past week has been almost discontinued. There IS no place to practice, except in the company street, and this does not pro- vide enough room. Considerable work has been done on kicking and forward passing, and the team better organiz- ed. It is now rather doubtful if the local battery will get to play any more football this season The game scheduled with D Battery, also E Bat tery, and other games were cancelled on account of the quarantine.
 Arrangements were being made to play in Springdale on Saturday, No vember 24th, but this will probably be dropped, unless affairs change

 The second team from the Univer- sity of Arkansas had no open date for Thanksgiving, but offered game in Fayetteville or Springdale, Saturday before. The gate receipts would not have near paid the expenses, which would have amounted to about $400, but the local boys were willing to stand the expense themselves just to play "at home" 1t was the intention to arrive in Springdale Friday morn
