6 TEEE AfiGUTS, SATtmOAY, rEBIlITABT 13, 1904. OUTLOOK IS BRIGHT Farmers Find Themselves Well Prepared to Begin New Season. "WINTER HAS BEEN FAVORABLE Hauling Practical Done Stock Has Come Through in Good Shape. Although the winter has been a se vere one, it has been entirely satis factory to the farmers, and when spring opens the winter work will all he done so that there will in? nothing to inferefere with the preparation for putting- ill the earlv crops. The roa'ls have been exceptionally jfood all winter, which is a condition that is greatly appreciated by those who are compelled to travel through the rural districts during ci.M weath er. There has been but little sleighing, lut the roads have been hard and smooth which to manv is more desir able than sdeighing. Those who have had grain or other produce to bring 1o market have had no trouble in hauling heavy loads at any time, and consequently when the time for s-uiaiiier wcrk comes last year's crop will have been marketed and the farmers can give their undi vided attentii n to their seeding for the inning year. There are many far- mei. however, who feed all the crop to slock so they are not troubled with hauling their grain and hay to mar ket. Prices have not been nearly so high for grain as has been the case for the last two tears, but corn has not been sold. on the market for less than 40 cents a bushel nor hay f r less than $s or $!) a ton. which is much better than 2.1-cent corn and !;-hny, which was the case a few jrars ago. At that tim the entire load would hardly bring enough to pay the man wages for hauling it to market. Stork Wlatrel Well. Stock of all kinds lias passed through the winter in gocd shap anrl the number of poor cattle is not so' noticeable as is the case some winters at this time. Last season was a good one for hay an. I forage of all kjnds and farmers were all well mi plied with rough feed. They have been able to keep the mangers well filled, and when out in the Held during the day. the absence of sm w the greater part of the time has permit led the cattle to p:ck up a great deal of feed. The extremely cold weather during the last three weeks has been hard on filing clover. Had there been a gnid coating i f snow on the groun 1 there! would have been no danger, but as the young plants had no protection what ever many of the fanners think that" the young crcp which- start ed so nicelv last fall will be entirely destroyed. It is thought that the fruit crop has escaped so far without injury, and un less a heavv frost comes after the trees hae budded, there will undoubt ed'y be a heavy fruit crop this year. ANNIE OAKLEY NOW TAKES SHOT AT THE NEWSPAPERS Annie Oakley, for years the crack female lifle shot with the HufFalo Hill Wild West show, is preparing to make some "00 newspapers pay up for the story that appeared about a year ago when il was alleged that she had been arrested by the Chicago . police fin a petty larceny charge. Mrs. Butler, for that is her real name, has opened her campaign by suing the Louisville Evening- l'ost fur $16,200 ror liln-1 and as the paper is but one of -0 that she has on her black list, there is a great deal of work ahead for both .Mrs. Butler and her legal advisers, and if she decides to sue each one of the 200 for tile same sum. she will a.-k for something like $:5,240.OOO, a sum that will be quite sufficient to partially c mpensate her for the unpleasantness which follow ed close i:p;;n the heels of the publicity given her name. It was during the month of August. Iti0:i. that this story came out. It. seems that a lady who had nothing better to do. got mixed up in a bunch of trouble in Chicago ami was pinch ed for taking something that did not belong to her. When booked at headquarters and also when placed fin trial, she gave the name of Annie Oakley, -not wanting her friends to know of her trouble. The reporters got busy and told how the great Annie Oakley had fallen, the item being printed with glaring headlines and a picture of Annie Oak ley. The article was widely copied and now the trouble has commenced. In her petitic n Mrs. Butler states that, at the time of the alleged arrest was chronicled, she was living with her husband at Nut ley. X. .1.. and en joying high public esteem.

Bloomington Fantagraph has something to say in regard to base ball finances that can be applied to every city in fhe circuit for the gen eral impression of the public, and it hardly need be said it is an errone ous one. is that the stockholders are makingbigmoney on their investment. The fact is they have occasion for a handshake all around if they break even on a season. The men behind the team in Kock Island, and doubtless it is the case all over the circuit, put their money into it for love of the sport principally, and to keep their city in the profession. They never expect to have their stock earn a cent. The Bantagraph says: "The amount in the treasury at present is $750, and it has been figured out that it will require $1,500 to put the team In the field in the right 'condition. There seems to be a prevailing feel ing that the directors of the baseball team get good money out of it. while 5n fact they get literally nothing. It would be no more than right that they thould each get something to pay them for their labors and time in the interests of baseball, but the best they get this year is an assessment of $50 each to which there are no strings attached, and when paid over is gone from them forever. Some peo ple are of the opinion that when play ers are allowed to go to another team the local management should be paid something for their release, but it is a hard thing to get money in this way. An effort will be made, however, to get something for Mullaney, but whether or not this can be accom plished remains to be seen." W 1W HO- I-- W .. 4f ! H .
