tell how to keep tbe girls on the farm,

enst of the first census per head of tb«

—Should farmers advertiseT At any
rate, they pay very little attention to
advertiaing their own goods. They are
L not used to it and so poeeibly do not
| know what there is in it tor tbem. We
note a few interesting facts in one of
i oar exchanges. A farmer bad a fine
four-year-old snitnsl that be wished to
•ell. Tbe stock yards offered him S4O.
Ee finally spent $0 in advertising tbe
animal and later sold it for 970, being
a clear gain of S3O, or 000 per cent, on
tbe cost of his advertising. Other par
ties had 400 bushels of choice barley.
Barley was selling for 00 cents a bosbel
bat by a little advertising it was nearly
all sold fot $1.20 per jushel.—Ex.

has earned the sympathy of all who
have suffered from the energy of the

More letters followed urging the ex
penditure and the absolute Moor re
peated his refusal. Still the letters con
tinued to come nntil the harassed po
tentate summoned the energentic agent,
gave him $50,000, told him to give it to
the Fair or put it in bis pocket—only to
stop the letters. He does not know
where St. Louis is and does not wish
to. All be asks is that he be left un
disturbed by further importunity
Professor Davenport, of Chicago, hae
found a new danger in the "yellow
peril"from the threatened war between
Russia and Japan. He thinks such a
war menaces the yery existence of the
Caucasian race. The professor's line of
thought in reaching this startling con
clusion is summarized as follows: "The
Chinese, on acconnt of their methods of
living and tbeir economical habits are
best fitted to endure poverty and starva
tion. Therefore the Chinese is bound
to survive all other races wben the
world becomes so crowded as to make
the struggle for existence more Serce
than ever before. And whatever may
be the result of a conflict between Rus
sia and Japan it will certainly enable
the yellow races to learn tbeir power
and bring them together." "When the
Chinese begin to spread," the professor
adds, "the Caucasian race can get ready
to move out."
—One of tbe long blocks containing
aix bouses in Red Row was practically
destroyed Saturday evening by a fire,
which for a.time threatened the de
struction of the whole row, but three
or four streams of water stopped it in

by the overturning of a lamp during a
dance. A man and a woman bad tbeir
bands and faces burned by rushing
back into tbe burning building to get
their money. Thirty-five chickens in
the basement of one bouse were roasted.
One hundred foreigners are said to have

Why pay rent on SBO. to SIOO. per
acre land wben you can raise the same
crops on sls. to SBS. per acre land in
Nortb Dakota. The rent you are pay
ing will buy you a home.
If mortgaged or not, sell out; save
what you can out of tbe wreck, and
make a new start. Tbe demand for
land is greater than ever, and farmers
who want good farms are flocking to
this territory. Prices are increasing
yon will reap tbe benefit. These rich I
lands are selling today for less than
one-third their real value. Colonies of
all nationalities forming, leave early in

The Eleanor Iron & Steel Co. In
Hot Water.
The hearing of the petition of the
Eleanor Iron & Steel Co. for stay of the
writ issued to Sheriff Gibson for sale of
their property at East Batler was com
menced before Judge Galbrenth, Mon
day afternoon. The writ was issued on
a judgment signed by President John
; Robensteen. of the Eleanor Co. last fall,
i The history of the transactions between
i the Eleanor Co. and the Butler Land &
Improvement Co , as brought out by
the hearing is about as follows:
The Butler Co. was to give the Elea
nor Co. $50.000.in the shape of a twenty
acre site at $1 000 an acre and subscrip
tions for 130,000 worth of stock in con
sideration for the building and operat
ing of a S3OOOOO open hearth furnace and
sheet, bar and billet mill at East But
ler. An article for sale of the 20 acres
(on which the Butler Co. has entered
suit for ejectment) was drawn up and
at various times and on various excus
es, Robensteen and Porter, the secre
tary of the Eleanor Co.. secured $29.
500 in cash from the Butler Co.. which
is composed of D.H. Sutton, F. H. Mur
phy. Win. Campbell, John S Campbell,
J. F. Anderson, W. D. Brandon and J.
H. Troutman.
The last two payments were given on
notes signed by Robensteen and Porter,
with the understanding, they claim,
that the Butler Co was to pay them.
These payments were m:»de on the rep
resentations of Robenrteen that he had
paid $26,000 to the Reese-Hammond
Fire brick Co. for brick and fire clay.
President Hammond, of the brick com
pany, said on the stand that Roben
steen had paid but a small amount on
the purchase, and still owed them S7OO.
The company's salesman, Mr. Ramsey,
said that Robensteen bad the brick
shipped to Butler billed at $lO per
thousand above the market price, which
on paper made it appear to the Butler
Co. that he had purchased nearly twice
as much as he really had. Henry
Troutman stated on the witness stand
that he wanted to have Robensteen ar
rested last December, and if ha bad had
his way, not one dollar would ever have
been paid to the Eleanor people.

i Health Conditions.
At the meeting of the Relief Com

j the State Board o' Health reviewed his
. work here, and stited that our water
- was now free of typhoid germs. So
1 positive was he in this belief that he
J had bten drinking the water as it came
j from the spigots for some days.
s The milk supply of the town is also
>' safe, and above the average in purity.
During the epidemic in the town
f j there were 1348 cases, with 90 deaths
- iu the town and 15 in other places, sup
" : posed to have originated her*. The
I j cases occurred in 52C houses.
The general conditions continue to
i i improve, and but fifty nurses are yet on
J the pay roll, though a few new cases
are reported each week

Speechly —The South Penn has n 5-
bbl. well on the Miles Gold. The Rub
ber Oil Co's well on the A. J. Camp
bell is in the sand.
January Operations—Field operations
during the first month of the new year
were characterized by a general decline
in nearly every section of the produc
ing regions. The unprecedented cold
weather that prevailed during January
had a decided effect in checking the
drilling of n- w wells and thtj pumping
of old ones.
The southwest districts of Pennsyl
vania, which include that portion of
the state between Butler and Arm
strong counties and the West Virginia
line, show a general falling off in all
lines of field activity, but these sections
continue to hold out inviting prospects
and operators are occasionally rewarded
with very fair nroducers. The January
record for these sections was 49 wells
completed, with 407 barrels new pro
dnctiou. Of the new wells, 13 were
dry and seven gassers, leaving 29 that
were productive of oil. This was an
average yield of 14 barrels to the well.
