Murderer Captured, .<br />

James Walsh of Red Bank, who for<br />

many years was chief of police of Re,d<br />

Bank' and who was one of the best known<br />

constables in Monmoutb county, was<br />

shot and instantly billed on- Monday<br />

afternoon by WilliamjBulIock in the lat-<br />

ter's yard on Stout street. Bullock is a<br />

•colored man about fifty years old'. He<br />

, flefa after killing Mr. Walsh but was capr<br />

tured at midnight at South Amboy. He<br />

was taken to the county jail by Constable<br />

.Stryker yesterday morning.<br />

Herman Frost, a colored boy seventeen<br />

years old, BOD of Jesse Fro3t of Faii><br />

Haven, was employed by Bullock. He<br />

went to work for him last Saturday.<br />

On Monday afternoon Bullock and Frost<br />

went., to Mrs. James Polhemus's place,<br />

'south of Fair Haven, for a load of straw<br />

and cornstalks. They got back about<br />

'half-past three o'clock. Mr. Walsh was<br />

in the yard and he and Bullock began<br />

talking while Frost began to unhitch the<br />

mule. Bullock went into the bouse and<br />

came out again, and Frost noticed by<br />

his voice that he was getting excited.<br />

They were standing under a shed a short<br />

distance from the house, and Frost was.<br />

on the side of the mule away from the<br />

shed when he heard~piitorilid& He<br />

heard a man fall and he looked under<br />

the mule's body .and saw Mr. Walsh<br />

lying on the ground dead, under the<br />

shed. Frost ran out of the yard and<br />

down Stout street. He headed for Red<br />

Bank. He met a man on Throckmorton'a<br />

bridge and told him that Bullock<br />

had shot a man, and he then ran on to<br />

Capt'. Thomas P. Brown's coal yard,<br />

where he told th¥"story of "the" shooting<br />

to Morris Browrij Mr. Brown sent for<br />

Constable Conk and Frost was taken to<br />

the town hall and locked up. .<br />

As soon a9 Bullock had killed' Mr.<br />

Walsh he went, into the house a moment,<br />

came out again, and then started toward<br />

J$hBTive>. Amos Bennett was at work in<br />

his yard,diagonally across thestreet from<br />

Bullock's place, when the shots were<br />

fired. He saw Frost run out of the yard<br />

and a minute or two afterward he saw<br />

Bullock coma out of the yard and start<br />

toward the river. Bullock was walking<br />

fast and Bennett called to him and asked<br />

him what was the matter. .Bullock replied<br />

that Frost had shot at a chicken.<br />

After Frost had been taken to the<br />

town hall Conk and Justice Charles H.<br />

Borden went to Bullock's house. Lemuel<br />

Ketcham and Louis Brown also went<br />

there. When they got to Bullock's place<br />

tbey went back in the yard and found<br />

Mr. Walsh's dead body lying under.the<br />

abed. It was not until they saw the<br />

body that Jhey knew who had been<br />

killed.<br />

Mr. Walsh was lying on his back and<br />

lie bad apparently died without making<br />

the slightest struggle. The bullet which<br />

killed him had entered his left eye and<br />

he bad fallen backward dead. Two<br />

other bullets were found in his right leg.<br />

;• They had been fed at him aa he fell<br />

and had entered the leg near the -hip.<br />

Another bullet had passed through, the<br />

flap of his coat but had not struck him.<br />

Undertaker Robert T. Smith wai sent<br />

for and the body was removed to .his<br />

place on Front street Vithin an hour<br />

after- the shooting. ; , ' 0 '<br />

When Bullock left the yard he started<br />

diagonally across the Held towards the<br />

river. He went down Harry Miner's<br />

lane, known as Qranga, avenue, and saw<br />

some men at work on a bulkhead, .He<br />

told.them ho wanted to get across the<br />

river to get a cow and ho offered them<br />

half a dollar to row him across. George<br />

Baldwin and Wilt Hallonbako took him<br />

over to the Middletown Bhore. It was a<br />

little rough on tho passaeo over, ond Bullock<br />

stood up in the boat. Tho men told<br />

Lang and Jacob B. Rue went to South<br />

Amboy early on Tuesday morning, leaving<br />

Red Bank on the freight train which<br />

leaves Red Bank at three o'clock. Bullock<br />

wasHakon by them to Freehold on<br />

the newspaper train and was locked<br />

up in the county, jail. The officers at<br />

South Amboy . who arrested. Bullock<br />

told him that Walsh was not. much<br />

hurt and Bullock then talked freely<br />

about the shooting and the causes which<br />

led' up to it. It was not until Bullock<br />

had given his story in great detail that<br />

he was told that WalBh bad been killed<br />

instantly when he shot him. Then be<br />

almoBt collapsed.<br />

Bullock had had considerable trouble<br />

over legal matters of late and he had<br />

become very much worked Tip. Some<br />

time ago he ordered a load of hay from<br />

John Stilwell of Colt's Neck and agreed<br />

to pay $15 for it. When Stilwell took<br />

the hay to Bullock's place he refused to<br />

pay more than $10 for it. Stilwell re<br />

fused to sell the hay at that price and he<br />

carted it away again. He afterward<br />

sued Bullock for. the loss he had sustained<br />

and the trouble be had been put<br />

to in hauling the hay to his house and<br />

hauling it away again and he got judgment.<br />

Bullock paid the amount of the<br />

judgment and costs but he declared at<br />

the time that he would get even- with<br />

Stilwell.<br />

adjoining yard. When the officers got<br />

back to Red Bank tbey made a search<br />

for the weapon but it could not be found.<br />

Afterward the revolver was found at<br />

Mr. Walsh's home and it was learned<br />

that Mr. Walsh did not have a pistol<br />

with him at the time Bullock shot him,<br />

Bullook.said that after he shot Mr.<br />

Walsh he went, in the house for more<br />

cartridges, intending to go and kill Stilwell.,<br />

He could not find the cartridges<br />

and he then undertook to escape, After<br />

being rowed across the river he walked<br />

to Chapel Hill and from there he got a<br />

ride to Keansburg. He climbed,in the<br />

back of a farmer's wagon arid got the<br />

ride unknown to the farmer, He walked<br />

from Keansburg: to Matawan and then<br />

got on a freight, train going north. He<br />

jumped off the train as it was slowing<br />

up at South Amboy and walked almost<br />

into the arms of Policeman James Mc-<br />

Donnell, wiio was watching for him.<br />

Walter S.' Noble of Red Bank had notified<br />

tbe men on' the freight train that<br />

Bullock was likely to get on the train at<br />

some of their stopping places. The train<br />

men saw him get on at Matawan and<br />

they notified the South Amboy police<br />

the moment the train pulled in at the<br />

station.<br />

among all classes. When people were<br />

noisy on the streets be would quiet them<br />

with a word or two and then send them<br />

home instead of arresting them and putting<br />

the town and the individual to expense.<br />

The quietest days of the town,<br />

and the days most free from street<br />

brawls and disturbances, were during hia<br />

service as chief of police.<br />

The children of the town feel that<br />

they have lost a friend in Mr. Walsh.<br />

" He was a bully cop," said one of them<br />

yesterday. "He let us play^fox in the<br />

streets when there were, not many wagons<br />

around, and he never tried to scare<br />

us by telling us he would run us in."<br />

Bullock was born on Long Island. He<br />

has high cheek bone's and other facial<br />

characteristics of the Indian race. He<br />

came to Red Bank several years' ago, and<br />

was generally considered a quiet, inoffensive<br />

citizen. Some people say that<br />

he easily got excited and that then he<br />

was always ready to fight. He was mar-<br />

for a recount of the ballots for sheriff at<br />

the recent election.. The application,<br />

when presented to Judge Collins, was<br />

not entirely satisfactory to him. in its<br />

form, and he suggested that some<br />

changes be made in it. This haa been<br />

done and the application will probably<br />

be granted this afternoon or to-morrow.<br />

A post-mortem examination of the<br />

body of Mr. Walsh was made by Dr.<br />

A NEW SOCIAL SOCIETY.<br />

It Was Organized at little Silver<br />

on Monday Sight.<br />

On Monday night a number of. young<br />

people met 'ht Mrs. J. B. Harvey's at<br />

Little Silver and organized a social club.<br />

The object of the club is to raise money<br />

,for the Christmas tree fund of the Little<br />

Silver Methodist church, and to promote<br />

sociability among the people of the<br />

neighborhood. Business meetings will<br />

be held at the home of the president<br />

every month. Sociables will be held at<br />

the homes of the members on the first<br />

and third 1 Davis, to change the result.<br />

The votes will be recounted by,the<br />

county election board. Two members<br />

of this'hoard are Democrats and two are<br />

Republicans. Under this recount every<br />

ballot will be clpsely scrutinized for distinguishing<br />

marks. No ballot can be<br />

counted unless a majority of the membete<br />

of the election board agree to it..<br />

When two members of the election<br />

board think that, a ballot should be<br />

Counted and two members think it<br />

should not be counted, the ballot is referred<br />

to Judge Collins for his decision.<br />

to.b.^referred.tQ.the judge.as.thereia ..<br />

much difference of opinion as to what<br />

constitutes a marked ballot.<br />

Mr. Davis's friends say that they are<br />

perfectly willing to have the recount.<br />

They say that Mr. Davis does n'ot want<br />

to hold the office of sheriff unless he has<br />

a thoroughly valid title to it. They say<br />

they have no fear but that the errors and<br />

defective ballots" on each- side -will bal- \<br />

ance each other, and that Mr. Davis's<br />

right to hold the office will be made<br />

clear. •'•..,<br />

Mr. Davis .was sworn in office yesterday,<br />

his official majority being 22. In<br />

case Mr. Shutts is declared elected by<br />

the recount Mr. Davis's certificate of<br />

election will be revoked and a" new certificate<br />

to. Mr. Shutts will be issued by<br />

Judge Collins. > Mr.'Sbutts in that case<br />

sauce were served. Nails, tied with<br />

ribbon, were given to the guests as souvenirs.<br />

PAPER FROM PINE? T<strong>RE</strong>ES.<br />

-4 Sew Industry Started in Florida<br />

Which Promises Bin Results,<br />

< An odd-looking piece of machinery,<br />

' over which the negro 'longshoremen em<br />

ployed on the Cjjder steamship docks<br />

tugged and perspired in their efforts t<br />

.place it on the cars of the Florida Centra<br />

»and Peninsula Railroad, attracted con'<br />

mderable attention recently, and man;<br />

inquiries were made about it. It was<br />

what is known to the paper manufacturing<br />

trado as a dipper, and i6 the first ql<br />

its kind ever shipped to Florida. Thi<br />

machine weighs eight tons and was consigned<br />

to the Pensacota Paper Company,<br />

to be used In crushing, pine .into puipfot<br />

paper-making.<br />

what'makes it of particular interest ii<br />

thefnet that it marks the introduction ol<br />

one of the most important industries of<br />

•the country to the State of .Florida, and<br />

is the forerunner of a mutch larger plant<br />

to be erected at Pensacola in a short time.<br />

A gentleman, who is interested in the<br />

Pensacola factory to some' extent, and<br />

whose brother is a leading stockholder,<br />

says that it will be only a matter of time<br />

when Florida will be one of the leading<br />

centers of the paper manufacture of th<<br />

Country. > .' •<br />

The secret of the shipment of this piece<br />

of machinery lies in the fact that it has<br />

been demonstrated beyond a shadow of a<br />

doubt that paper can be made at a profit<br />

out of pine fibre through a process but<br />

, recentlyinvented by-a Southern inventor,<br />

whose name is Thomas, which enables<br />

those possessed of the secret to eliminate<br />

• the resin from the wood. This processes<br />

known but to three persons, and it has<br />

been decided to keep this secret among<br />

three persons rather than to expose it by<br />

putting the process on file in tcfe paten<br />

office.<br />

The factory erected in PenBacoIa will<br />

have, when everything is completed and<br />

the machinery all in place, a capacity of<br />

four tons daily. While this will amoun<br />

to quite an output in the course of a year<br />

it is a comparatively small plant. Just at<br />

-•• present nothing is being made except<br />

what is known as manila paper. It is,<br />

however, of Excellent quality; and can<br />

be mad» at a cost that will enable it to<br />

•compete with any part of the United<br />

States in quality and cheapness of manufacture.<br />

The material from which the<br />

' paper can be made is abundant, and<br />

d d J k U l b d<br />

Hvered -in New "York city-or .Boston at<br />

least as cheaply aa from tbe mills of Hol-<br />

Toke, Mass. Most of the Northern mills<br />

have to.pay as high as $8 to $10 per cord<br />

for the wood required by them for the<br />

manufacture of wood pulp. The material<br />

to be used in Florida is pine slabs, the refuse<br />

of the mills, and can be bad for almost<br />

nothing, so that what is now practi-<br />

' -cally a waste product will be utilized,<br />

immense crematories having to be constructed<br />

to destroy it. A sample of the<br />

' paper in the unfinished state, manufac-<br />

. til red from the material, on being torn<br />

apart, disclosed a fibre that had the ap-<br />

pearance of canton flannel.<br />

A KIND-HEARTED GA.NDER.<br />

Acted as Guide and JProteetor to an<br />

Old Blind Goose.<br />

(From the Philadelphia JHmtt.)<br />

My grandfather had a Swan Jiiyer gander,<br />

which had been reared near the<br />

house and had consequently attached<br />

himself to the members of the family;<br />

so much so that, on seeing any of them<br />

at a distance, he would run to meet them<br />

with all possible demonstrations of delight.<br />

•<br />

But Swnnny was quite an outcast from<br />

his own tribe, and as often as he made<br />

humble overtures to the other geese, so<br />

often was he driven away with great con<br />

tempt, and on euch occasions Tie would<br />

frequently run to some of his human<br />

friends and, laying his head on their lap,<br />

seem to seek for sympathy.<br />

At last, however, he found a friend<br />

among his own species. An old gray<br />

goose, becoming blind, wasalso discarded<br />

by her more fortunate companions, and<br />

Swanny lost no opportunity of recognizing<br />

this ^comrade in distress. ' He at<br />

once took her under his protection and<br />

= led her about. When he considered it<br />

well for her to have a swim be would<br />

gently take her neck in his bill and thus<br />

lead her. sometimes a great distance,<br />

to the water's edge. .Having fajrly<br />

launched her he kept close by her side,<br />

and guided her from dangerous places<br />

by arching his neck over hers and so turning<br />

her to a convenient.landing place<br />

and taking her neck in bis bill as before,<br />

lead her to terra fli-ma again, ' . .<br />

When she had goslings lie would<br />

proudly convoy the whole -party, to the<br />

water side, and if any ill-fated fcosling<br />

got into difficulties.in a hole or a deep<br />

•cart-rut 8wanny, with ready skill,, would<br />

put his bill under its bodv land carefully<br />

raise it to the level ground.<br />

jTho Mayor Was fortunate.<br />

'•In a certain town in Vermont,'?said<br />

-the Boston drummer aa he chewed away<br />

at a pepsin tablet, "I picked up a wallet<br />

containing $600 in cash. There were papers<br />

bearing tho.owner's name, and he<br />

proved to^ bo, tbe mnyor of the town. I<br />

at once bunted him up and handed over<br />

his lost cash, and as he received it he<br />

looked me over and scratched the back<br />

of his head and snid: i<br />

"I shall reward you, of course. How<br />

much do you think you ought to have?"<br />

'' Nothing whatever, Bir. I am glad to<br />

restore your property."<br />

James Walsh.<br />

Th« shooting of James Walsh <br />

# • #<br />

This is exactly the difference between<br />

Shrewsbury township and the rest of the<br />

county. Shewsbury to\ynship people,<br />

Eepublicans and Democarts' alike, vote<br />

for friendship more than they do for<br />

party, and far more than they do for<br />

money. When Shrewsbury township<br />

decides to v,ote for a-man she votes for.<br />

him, no matter what side of the policial*<br />

fence he is on. In other townships<br />

money can buy the votes of lots of m,en<br />

of each party, from the highest party<br />

leaders down to the humble voter wbo :<br />

can not read his ballot. Those party<br />

leaders to whom mom>y is no object can<br />

be got to go either way by promise of<br />

influence or by threat of political destruction.<br />

. - ., •-'-••—<br />

In Shrewsbury township, money, political<br />

promises aud threats carry very<br />

little weight. There are a few men who<br />

claim prominence who can be moved by<br />

these considerations, but these are riot<br />

the men who have influence with the<br />

mass of voters. Shrewsbury voters are<br />

loyal to | their friends,, no matter what<br />

party they belong to. More than any<br />

other township in the county, of Monrnouth,<br />

Shrewsbury township is~un :<br />

swayed by outside influence. Everything<br />

possible was done to effect the<br />

change in Shrewsbury-tbat was effected<br />

in the rest of the county, but the township<br />

remained' true to its friends. No<br />

other township could cast a vote, like<br />

limited money-, strong -political pressure<br />

and gross threats. Loyalty to friends<br />

hasalwaya been.Shrewsbury township's<br />

political badge of honor, anda township<br />

which makes this motto its shibboleth is<br />

certainly a good township to) livoln.<br />

* * *<br />

The recount of the votes for sheriff<br />

ought to have one good effect, entirely<br />

outside of any personal view of success<br />

of either candidate. It ought to result<br />

in showing up in court some of the devices<br />

by which votes are bought. The<br />

corruption in Monmouth county is startling<br />

and perhaps not less than fifty thousand<br />

dollars was spent on election day<br />

in buying votes. .Officials of all kinds<br />

take part in the practice, froth the highest<br />

to the loweat, and the more expert a<br />

man becomes in the corrupt use of<br />

money, the more certain he becomes to<br />

be rewarded with an office for his work.<br />

If in the investigation of the vote this<br />

fall evidence should be obtained proving<br />

the buying of votes on either side, the<br />

guilty man .ought to be punished and<br />

sent to prison, even as John Y. McKane<br />

was sent to prison. Of course these men<br />

would not be one whit more guilty than<br />

scores of others on each side, but until<br />

an example is made the criminals who<br />

buy votes will consider themselves safe<br />

from punishment, no matter how bold<br />

they may be, and no matter how openly<br />

or how grossly they violate the election<br />

law. ,<br />

TAMED THE JOCKEYS.<br />

• v .<br />

Tlie Midgets Each Bad a Btid Oaae<br />

• of Swelled Head,<br />

• • (Vtt>m tht Waihfhgtaii Star).<br />

"It is a notorious fact," said an old<br />

horseman, "that successful jockeys<br />

are more afflicted .with the big head<br />

than any other class of midgets you're<br />

liable to meet up with. On two occasions<br />

that I recall I've seen American<br />

waiters talfe prominent American<br />

jockeys down when the latter have become.<br />

Insufferable in their conduct<br />

Some Nyears ago on eastern «|ockey<br />

whose fame was spread broadcast<br />

throughout the racing world was taking<br />

dinner with a party of fooUBhly<br />

idolatrous friends at the Clltt House,<br />

outside of San Francisco. The jockey<br />

had been riding during the winter racing<br />

In and around Ban Francisco, and<br />

on this day ho had won the swell'event<br />

of the year on a rather no account<br />

horse. Consequently his bat was a<br />

' whole lot too small for him.<br />

"He was an Insulting little chap at<br />

best,/ but on this,occasion he simply<br />

let his tongue run away with %\a<br />

brains. His humor took the turn of<br />

Joshing an old time waiter at the OllCf<br />

HouBe who had been in California<br />

since the days of the Argonauts, tfh<br />

old man had long side whiskers, and<br />

the jockey made sundry and divers "re-marks<br />

to the waiter about the opportunity<br />

he was giving to the wind, by<br />

•wearing* 1 whiskers of that particular<br />

length, and the old man took *he talk<br />

good naturedly without paying much<br />

attention to the touch of nastiness In<br />

. the midget's' remarks. Finally, however,<br />

when the wine had gone around<br />

pretty freely, the jockey reached np<br />

behind bis chair as the old waiter was<br />

in the act of performing some little<br />

service for the men at the table, and,<br />

twisting his hand In the hair on one<br />

side of the old servitor's face, he deliberately<br />

pulled out a fairly large hand-<br />

•. ful of the latter's whiskers.<br />

"The old man leaped back with pain<br />

land indignation, the jockey laughing<br />

^at^ImJdlotloaUy.__Thj!n>the waiter<br />

, ..cooHy.Ufted^theJockey out of his chair'<br />

by the" scrjiff "of the^ neck,sat down<br />

and calmly deposited the midget across<br />

his knees, face downward.<br />

" 'Son.'i said, the waiter, there's<br />

something that you've stood in need of<br />

for a long time past, judging from<br />

your actions here during the past few<br />

months, and that something you're<br />

about to get^nnd get" good,' and ho<br />

brought the palm of an ample hand<br />

. down with a smack that sounded very<br />

pleasant Indeed unto the ears of all<br />

the rest of the people in the room (except<br />

the jockey's friends) who had<br />

Seen the beard pulling incldant. Then<br />

he brought both bands Into play, and<br />

the rataplan told of splendid execution.<br />

The jockey kicked and struggled,<br />

but he couldn't break loose, and<br />

he had to take his medicine. Then his<br />

friends at the table jumped to his rescue,<br />

and, quickly letting the Jockey<br />

slide on to the floor, the old waiter,<br />

thoroughly aroused, jumped up and<br />

knocked them down one after, the oth-<br />

••' er. He just polished them all off in detail,<br />

and when he had got through -with<br />

them he stood his ground. Then the<br />

manager appeared on the scene, and<br />

when he was told by a number of other<br />

guests, prominent men, what had<br />

happened he assisted In kicking the<br />

party out of the house.<br />

"Another time a jockey .who leaped<br />

into prominence with meteoric speed<br />

by reason of his winning two of the<br />

great events of the eastern turf In<br />

quick succession got the worst of it: u$<br />

the bands of a Coney Island waiter.<br />

I saw the lncldentjmyself. The jockey<br />

had had such a mighty accession of<br />

the 'I am It' spirit that he considered<br />

he could perform all sorts of mean little<br />

tricks at tho expense of all hands<br />

and do the same with impunity. On<br />

this day hejiad won three straight<br />

races,- and his lmperlousness was<br />

something monumental He took: dinner<br />

with three bookmakers on ono of<br />

v- the big Coney Island piers. Tho man<br />

who waited on the party was a bullet<br />

head, but a quiet, attentive man at<br />

^ that. Ho was removing some plates<br />

after the second.course when the jock-<br />

J ey picked up a siphon of seltzer and<br />

deliberately Bqulrted half the bottlo<br />

full In the waiter's face. , Tho waiter<br />

wiped his face and his shirt front off<br />

with his table towel and then he walked<br />

up to the jockey's chair and said:<br />

" 'Have you had yer dip in de Bea ylt<br />

t'day, Freddy?'<br />

"'No,' said tho Jockey, with an expression<br />

of surprise on his face, as If<br />

he wondered what was coming. f<br />

"«I fought not,' said tho bullet<br />

headed waiter. 'Dat's do reason I'm<br />

goln t'let you have It now.'<br />

"Then tho waiter' suddenly picked<br />

tho famous Jo'cltey' tip; and' before any<br />

of tho men at the table could Interfere<br />

ho carried* him over to tho railing of<br />

tho pier and dropped tho midget borso<br />

rider Into tho water, about 15 foot below.<br />

"'I JlBt want t' BOO If do little<br />

snoozbr wit' do swelled nut kin swim<br />

as well as ho kin rldo a horse,' said tho<br />

wnltor, qulotly watching tho jockey<br />

«omo to tho surface and strlko out.<br />

Tho Joclcoy could swim, and lie inado<br />

1 NEW FARMERS' LEAGUE.<br />

ONLY FARMERS AND FARM<br />

OWNERS CAN, JOIN IT.<br />

Its Object Is to Get Reduced Prices<br />

for Goods 6« Buying in Combina-<br />

tion, to Save FreiaM> and to Otherwise<br />

Belv Farmers,<br />

A new organization has been formed<br />

-among the farmers of this part of Monmouth<br />

county to advance their interests.<br />

The organization is of much the same<br />

nature as the Monmouth county farmers'<br />

association which has headquarters at<br />

Keyport, but the membership will be restricted<br />

to fanners and to men who own<br />

farms.<br />

The work of forming the new organization<br />

has been going on for some time<br />

and the organization was completed lost<br />

week by the election of these officers:<br />

1 -President—Win. W. Conover, Jr.<br />

Vice president—Edwin Beokman.<br />

Secretary—Honry C. McLean.<br />

Buyer-Charles Tindall,<br />

These officers, together with Joseph<br />

Frost, Walter Hopping and Warren<br />

Conklin, form the board of directors.<br />

The name of the organization is the<br />

"Farmers' Cooperative League." Bylaws<br />

have been adopted for the government<br />

of the'organization, and it is intended<br />

to have the association in full<br />

•working order before the first of December.<br />

The object in restricting membership<br />

to'farmers and to owners of farms<br />

is to prevent persons who have no per-<br />

• sonal interest in farming from participating<br />

in the advantages of the organization.<br />

, Qne of the objects of farmers'<br />

associations is to buy goods-of general<br />

farm and household use in large quantities,<br />

and BO get low rates. It is said<br />

that in most farmers' associations there<br />

are many members who are not farmers,<br />

but who join the association for the sake<br />

of getting their household supplies<br />

cheaper than they otherwise could. The<br />

dues are usually very low and there is<br />

ordinarily no restrictions as to membership.<br />

In the new Farmers' League the dues<br />

are $8 per year, and at the end of each<br />

year whatever money remains in\ the<br />

bands of the.secretary, after all the expenses<br />

of the year are paid, is to be<br />

divided equally among the members.<br />

The membership of the league is rapidly<br />

growing, and while there has been<br />

no limit set on the membership, most of<br />

those who expect to join will probably<br />

have done so by the first of December;<br />

The league is to be run very economically.<br />

The buyer is to get two dollars<br />

per day and expenses for the time he<br />

actually puts in in the interest of the<br />

league, and the secretary is to get a salary<br />

of $10 per year. The annual meeting of<br />

the organization is to be held the first<br />

Tuesday in each year.<br />

The objects of the league are set out<br />

in the by-laws as being "to collect and<br />

distribute information in regard to horticulture,<br />

by comparing results of experiments<br />

and methods of cultivation of<br />

.varieties raised; to incite the production<br />

of better varieties and better packing;<br />

and to protect its members from exorbitant<br />

rates of freight and cartage and<br />

also from excessive prices of all necesary<br />

articles used in the carrying out of our<br />

several pursuits."<br />

Fertilizers, farm machinery, seed corn<br />

and other seeds, coal, grapa and berry<br />

baskets, paokages for shipping produco,<br />

and other things required on a farm, will<br />

all be bought by the buyer, or by Bpecial<br />

purchasing committees from time to<br />

time. When goods are to be ordered,<br />

each momber needing goods of that kind<br />

must send in his order and accompany<br />

the order by the amount of money<br />

thought necessary to pay for his goods.<br />

If ho does not do this the buyer or the<br />

special purchasing committee will not<br />

be allowed to order his goods.<br />

Every member, when ho joins the<br />

league, must take an oatb that ho will<br />

not divulge tho prices paid for any<br />

article, or tho prices obtained for any<br />

nrtiole Bold through tho league. If ho<br />

doca divulge'tht'uoHocrota hole to ho oxpolled<br />

from tho association,<br />

No -moinbor will bo allowed to order<br />

•moro goods of any kind than will supply<br />

hna something over, «{ter his own needs<br />

htwo been mippliud, ho oannot soil tho<br />

residue, lit longuo prices, oxcopt to a<br />

else. In the desert, 300 miles square,<br />

with Flagstaff as a center, are spread<br />

put a yar^ety of wonders 6f which the<br />

people of this country have little or no<br />

conception, but if. they were In Europe<br />

or Asia thousands of our citizens<br />

would cross the ocean to see them.<br />

Being within only two or three days'<br />

journey of Chicago and easy of access<br />

by ,freque"nt trains of sleeping and<br />

dining cars and other "modern luxuries<br />

of travel, they are overlooked by the<br />

multitude and are practically unknown.<br />

- To my mind, next to the Grand canyon<br />

of the Colorado, the most interest-<br />

Ing and impressive of the natural wonders<br />

of this great Arizona museum is<br />

the petrified forest, which covers nearly<br />

100 square miles, within easy distance,<br />

either on. foot or horseback,<br />

from Billings station, on the Santa<br />

Fe railroad, but it can be more easily<br />

reached by carriage from Holbrook,<br />

where better accommodations can be<br />

found. The government explorers have<br />

christened It Chalcedony park.<br />

The surface of the ground for.miles<br />

and miles around Is covered with gigantic<br />

logs three or four feet in diameter,<br />

petrified to the core. Many-of<br />

them are translucent. Some are almost<br />

transparent. All present the most beautiful<br />

shades of blue, yellow, pink, purple,<br />

red and gray. Some are like gigantic<br />

amethysts, some resemble the<br />

smoky topaz and some are as pure and<br />

white as alabaster. At places the chips<br />

of agate from the trunks that have<br />

crumbled lie a foot deep upon the<br />

ground, and It Is easy to obtain cross<br />

sections of trees showing every vein<br />

and even the bark.<br />

Comparatively little of this agate has<br />

been used xp. manufacturing, although<br />

It is easy to obtain. Manufacturing<br />

Jewelers of New York have made table<br />

tops and boxes and other articles from<br />

strips that have been sent them, and<br />

If the material were not so abundant<br />

Its beauty would command enormous<br />

prices. Where you can get a carload of<br />

Jewelry for nothing you are. not likely<br />

to pay high prices for it<br />

A bird's eye view of the petrified forests<br />

on a sunny day suggests a gigantic<br />

kaleidoscope. The surface of the<br />

earth resembles an infinite variety of<br />

rainbows. The geologists say this great<br />

plain, now 6,000 feet'above the sea,<br />

was once covered by a forest,' which<br />

was submerged for ages in water<br />

strongly charged with minerals, until<br />

the fibers of the trees were thoroughly<br />

soaked and transformed into eternal<br />

stone. - Many of the trunks are still<br />

packed In a deposit of fine clay, which<br />

was left by the receding waters, but<br />

the erosion of the wind has pulverized<br />

much of the clay and carried It off In<br />

the air, exposing the Becrets that nature<br />

burled under Its surface.<br />

One great tree spans a deep gulch 40<br />

feet wide. It lies where it fell centuries,<br />

perhaps ages, ago, and is a most<br />

beautiful specimen of petrified wood.<br />

The rings and the bark can be easily<br />

traced through tlio translucent agate,<br />

and It is firm enough and strong<br />

enough to last as many centuries as it<br />

has already spent hi its- peculiar position.<br />

It is undoubtedly the only<br />

bridge of agate in the world and alone<br />

is worth a long journey to see.<br />

The Indians of the southwest used<br />

to visit the petrified forests frequently<br />

to obtain agate for their arrow arid<br />

spear heads, and the material was<br />

scattered over, the entire continent by<br />

exchange between the different tribes,<br />

from-the isthmus of Panama to Bering<br />

strait.. The great deposit here explains<br />

where all the arrowheads of<br />

moss agate came from and other<br />

weapons and Implements of similar<br />

material that are found in the Indian<br />

mounds and graves of the central and<br />

western states. In the etone age the<br />

agate of the petrified forest was the<br />

very best material that could be obtained<br />

for both the implements of war<br />

and peace of the aborigines. A scalplug<br />

knife could bo made very easily<br />

from one of tho chips of agate and<br />

could bo ground to a very fino edge.<br />

Many crystals were UBed for Jewelry<br />

and ornaments also.- '""'<br />

STEEL ROOFS/<br />

The Steel Trust Has Raised Prices but Steel<br />

Roofs are Still the Best in the World.<br />

The price of steel roofing sheets, has gone up, on account<br />

of the operations of the great steel trust; but while the trust<br />

has affected the price of steel roofs, a steel roof is still the best<br />

roof that can be put On a building, and it is the cheapest roof<br />

in the end.<br />

A steel.roof, properly put on, will never leak. It is the<br />

best roof in every way. It is the most durable roof, for it will<br />

never wear out. It is the cheapest roof in the world in the<br />

end, for there is never a cent needed for repairs.<br />

I have every appliance for putting on steel roofs in the very<br />

best way. I have had Jwelve years' experience at the business.<br />

I have skilled workmen, and I have the knowledge needed to<br />

make certain'that Iget the very best goods manufactured.<br />

board met at the hotel and voted to accept<br />

it. The entire party, including<br />

The road is built in two sections. One<br />

section extends from All Saints' church<br />

nearly to the cross roads at Chapel Hill<br />

The other section branches off at Navesink<br />

and goes to the borough limits of<br />

"Work on the new road at Belford,<br />

at that place. Last Friday she was walk'<br />

ing from the store to her house, a distance<br />

of about 100 yards, when she was<br />

taken with a fainting spell and fell ua<br />

conscious in the road. Cornelius Post<br />

of Keyport, who; drives a vegetable<br />

wagon through Belford, saw her fall,<br />

and he and Ives Branson of Belford<br />

went to her aid and helped her^into the<br />

house; • . • • • •<br />

Mrs. Thiel said she had a pocketbook<br />

containing about $75 when she started<br />

from the store and" when she came out<br />

of the fainting spell' she could not find<br />

the pocketbook. She told her husband,<br />

John Thiel, that she thought Mr. PoBt<br />

took the money. Mr. Thiel went to.<br />

Keyport the same, night and demanded<br />

%he money from Mr. Post. Mr. Post<br />

said that.he knew nothing about the<br />

money and Mr. Thiel went back home.<br />

While he was away the pocketbook and<br />

money were found tucked away .between<br />

the bed clothing, where Mrs. Thiel had<br />

evidently hidden it away and forgotten<br />

about it. Mr. Postjtold several people at<br />

,, HIT WITH AN AXE.<br />

Jettv Parker of Seaside Slakes ah<br />

>h Attach on Jtts Father.<br />

Jetty Parker, son of John Parker of<br />

Seaside, attacked his father with an axe<br />

' last Friday afternoon and inflicted a<br />

wQund in' bis father's side that will lay<br />

him up for some time. Jetty Parker is<br />

eighteen years old. He has epileptic<br />

fits, is subject to morose and sullen periods<br />

and is generally considered & degenerate.<br />

He raises pigeons and last Friday<br />

when he came home his mother told<br />

hilil that some of tlie.pigeons had got<br />

out-of their enclosure., He.accused his<br />

mother of letting the pigeons out purposely<br />

nud called her a vile name. Mr.<br />

Parker interfered and Jetty walked out<br />

. of\ the house. He returned in a few<br />

minutes with an axe and aimed a blow<br />

at his father's head. His father threw<br />

ujMiis arm to ward off the blow and the<br />

blunt edge of the axe struck him in the<br />

side. Ho wa8"injured so badly that he<br />

wa's obliged to go to bed. The flesh is<br />

badly, bruised and it is feared that,he is<br />

injured internally.<br />

Jetty Parker fled from the house aB<br />

aoon as lie struck the blow, No effort is<br />

being made to catch him and if he<br />

snbuld return home his father would<br />

tffrt make a charge against him. He<br />

does not think- his eon is entirely responsible<br />

for his acts and he does not<br />

think there would be any advantage,<br />

either to himself or to the public, in pros<br />

luting him.<br />

. MAJOR-GENERAL CROOK,<br />

General Charles King's Reminiscences<br />

of BUtn. ,<br />

: (From the Tbufh'a Companion.)<br />

Young officers fresh from West Point<br />

looked at him In wonderment. Instead<br />

of a somewhat unapproachable digni-<br />

tary, in precise uniform and epaulets<br />

and embroidered sash and' belt,- they<br />

were welcomed by a cordial handclasp<br />

from a tall, bushy bearded man, with<br />

twinkling gray blue eyeB, in an old<br />

Blouch felt hat, flannel • shirt, rough<br />

ernxvas shooting coat and trousers and<br />

'common soldier's boots. .<br />

Generally his beard was tied up with<br />

Btrlng or Wd tape, the only use he had<br />

for that usual military indispensable.<br />

He sat at eampflre or- in the simply<br />

furnished parlor of his army:home lis-<br />

tening to the chat about him, rarely(<br />

speaking and assiduously playing solitaire<br />

with a pack of cards produced<br />

from an Inner pocket. He could play a<br />

capital hand at whist, but fought shy<br />

of a game with careless or forgetful<br />

players. He heard everything that was<br />

said and saw everything going on<br />

about liim, but seldom gave a sign.<br />

From the so called'pleasures of so-'<br />

clety, dinners, dances and receptions<br />

h« shrank in dismay. He ate only the<br />

simplest food. He never smoked. He<br />

hated wine. He wouldn't touch spirits.<br />

He marveled that any man should.<br />

"It spoils his shooting," said he. Andour<br />

• general was a capital shot He<br />

could foot.it through an old fashioned<br />

quadrille or Virginia reel, but nothing<br />

else, and would always get away on<br />

social occasions into the first obscure<br />

corner. he could find, and then out<br />

would come the old pack of cards.<br />

He rarely read anything but nature's<br />

books, although he had a mathematical<br />

gift and not only stood well In scientific<br />

studies at the Point, as did<br />

Grant, but he helped along his unmathematlcal<br />

. roommate, Sheridan.<br />

Writing was something Crook abhorred.<br />

He could hardly decipher one of<br />

his own pages, and his letters and dispatches,<br />

like those of old "Rough and<br />

generally penned by some brilliant<br />

staff officer. ; .<br />

Children he loved, and treated with<br />

a shy- tenderness that was sweet to<br />

see, but he had none of his own. His<br />

wife was a Maryland girl who won his<br />

heart during the war days while her<br />

brother and other enterprising "rebs"<br />

made way with his body, capturing<br />

him by a daring night raid-into Cumberland.<br />

Like Grant, he was simplicity itself<br />

n speech, rarely lifting up his voice,<br />

and only once did I ever hear him"<br />

speak an impatient word or one that<br />

faintly resembled an expletive, but<br />

that was in the thick of the Sioux campaign<br />

of 1876 and when he had much<br />

to try him.<br />

We had to eat our horses that year<br />

to keep alive. We had no tents, and<br />

hardly a change of underwear could<br />

be found in the whole column. We<br />

were wet, bedraggled and dirty when<br />

we reached the Yellowstone, but the<br />

general was as badly off as the humblest<br />

trooper and minded.It less. There<br />

we met the spruce command of General<br />

Terry, and Terry himself, In hand-<br />

some uniform, the picture of the gentleman<br />

and soldier, .came over to our<br />

bivouac to call on Crook. I was drying<br />

my buckskins at a fire as he approached<br />

and stepped forward to salute<br />

him.<br />

"Where shall I find General Crook?"<br />

said he.<br />

For a moment I could not answer.<br />

Then an old trooper grinned and nodded<br />

toward the river, and there, squatted<br />

on a rock, well out in the stream,<br />

stripped to the waist and scrubbing<br />

away at his shirt, was our general,<br />

and Terry was too much of a gentleman<br />

even to look amused at the sight.<br />

The Indians called him the "Gray<br />

Fox." The soldiers had their pet<br />

names, but we, his officers, who followed<br />

him all over the west, from the<br />

Mexican border to the upper Yellowstone,<br />

sp6ke of him always as "the<br />

general," our general. That meant, of<br />

course, CrooUt' tho simplest 'soldier I<br />

ever knew. In all tho years it was my<br />

fortune to serve under him In Arizona,<br />

Wyoming, Dakota, Montana or at his<br />

headquarters In Omaha or Chicago, I<br />

never saw him In the uniform of his<br />

rank until he lay dead In his coffin, his<br />

guard of honor grouped about him.'<br />

Wooing of the Woodcock.<br />

The wooing of tho woodcock Is one<br />

of those sights to witness which a lover<br />

of nature In all Its moods will make<br />

a Journey of miles. The scene Is enacted<br />

at twilight, and tho setting Is of<br />

willow or alder bushes whoso branches<br />

are just beginning to show the<br />

tender green of early spring. Suddenly<br />

from tho damp ground a bird form<br />

shoots upward like somo swamp spirit<br />

until It IB outlined against tho gray<br />

of tho evening sky. Thou it circles<br />

abovo tho branches, and tho Bong of<br />

tho wooing begins. Hidden In the<br />

darkness of tho thick lower growth Is<br />

tho object to which this lovo Bong Is<br />

directed. Tlio bird above circles perhaps<br />

a Bcoro of Union, then drops back<br />

to tho damp thlcliot, mnklng n sound<br />

GOT HIS PI8CHABGE.<br />

Tilings Came Just night for the<br />

Naval Machinist.<br />

Several years ago a quiet young<br />

chap shipped as a machinist in the<br />

navy aboard the receiving ship Ver-<br />

mont at the Brooklyn navy yard. He<br />

gave San Francisco as his place of<br />

nativity. He was assigned toa cruiser<br />

about to start for the China station by<br />

the Suez canal route. He was a crack<br />

mechanic and very soon showed the<br />

engineers that he knew how to earn<br />

bis rate and wages. He never said<br />

much about himself. He wasn't any-<br />

thing of what Is called a "man-o'-war<br />

chaw/' and, although he bad been<br />

up and down the world a good deal,<br />

be let others do the talking. He was<br />

perhaps the quietest man in the Amer-<br />

ican navy at the time he served.<br />

HlBgship got to the__ Asiatic station<br />

oil right and cruised back and forth<br />

there between China and Japan for<br />

close on to three years. .Then she was<br />

ordered back to the United States.<br />

She had a lot of "overtime" men<br />

aboard pf her by tbat time, sailors<br />

whose time had expired, but who pre-<br />

ferred to wait until they reached the<br />

United States before they took their<br />

discbarges. When the ship was or-<br />

dered back home, a lot of overtime<br />

men from other ships on the Asiatic<br />

station were sent to her to be brought<br />

back to this country. • ••—~<br />

--' This -machinist—call him Beall—had<br />

Just 21 days left of his three year en-<br />

listment when the ship left Yokohama<br />

for San Francisco via' the Hawaiian<br />

Islands, All of the overtime men<br />

were talking about their trip around<br />

from San Francisco to New .York by<br />

passenger steamer. They had all ship-<br />

ped at the Brooklyn navy yard, and<br />

• the navy always sends men to the<br />

point whence it takes them when they<br />

enlist unless, they "waive transporta-<br />

tion" for the purpose of stopping off<br />

at an Intermediary point.<br />

"~~it"to6kTBe~shlirt4Tlays-to "fetch up'~<br />

Honolulu from Yokohama, and then<br />

Beall, the machinist, had five days yet<br />

to eerve.<br />

"Are you going to vralve transporta-<br />

tion and drop off at San Francisco, or<br />

are you going around to New York<br />

with us?" the men asked him when the<br />

ship pulled into Honolulu.<br />

"Don't know yet," the machinist re-<br />

plied.<br />

After coaling at Honolulu—which<br />

took four days, done leisurely—the<br />

skipper of the ship 'decided to take a<br />

bit of a run around the Hawaiian Is-<br />

lands, before up anchoring for San<br />

Francisco. Beall's time expired on the<br />

morning that his ship was headed for<br />

Lahaina, on the island of Maul, a lit-<br />

tle sail of about 85 miles from Hono-<br />

lulu. The ship dropped her anchor<br />

within about 300 yards of the Lahaina<br />

beach along toward 3 o'clock hi the<br />

afternoon.<br />

The Island of Maul Is very beautiful<br />

to look upon—a" veritable gem of the<br />

, ocean, If such a one was ever fashion-<br />

ed by the hand of the creator. Beall,<br />

the machinist, was off watch, and<br />

standing on the to'gallant fo'c'sle,<br />

smoking his pipe, when the ship cast<br />

You Take No Risk<br />

In buying'a piano from- Storck, for Storck deals only in the old reliable makes. Why<br />

pay high prices for inferior instrumentsthat you know nothing about when you. can get<br />

instruments that have a world-wide reputation for quality at the same price or less. Too<br />

much money is involved in a piano transaction for one to enter into such a transaction^<br />

•:. without a careful investigation .of the respective merits of the instruments upon the market.<br />

These makes are reliable: - ./ • ;<br />
