There Is some feeling of unrest In commercial circles here. The two main influences causing this feeling are: (1) The restlessness of labor; (2) the feeling that the merger business has been overdone. 1 The laborer was never better situated than he Is today. Wages are above the average and employment seeks labor. None who are willing to work need go long without a job and at fair wages. The competion Is between employers to get labor rather than among laborers to get preferences at a job. Yet It is strike, strike, strike, all the time. It is almost always said, too, that the work ing people don't want to strike, but they feel compelled to follow the orders of the walking delegates. The merger business is neither as prosperous nor aa popular as it was a little , while ago. Several merger schemes already accomplished, have not proven the good things promised in the prospectuses and there is some unhapiness in consequence. A Quiet Sunday in Jail.

The Jones murder trial dragged through the day without much Interest until the after noon session when one of the defen dants, Will Barnes was put on the s,tand. Barnes testified as follows: "That night between 7 and 8 o'clock t met Piver at Drake's bar, and Plver said, 'We are going to have some fun and run Jones out of town.' ' Morgan was the next man who spoke to me about it. About 11 o'clock he asked me to eo with him to see John Allen We went and he called Allen out. They had a conversation I didn't hear. We went Up town again after the bars closed and we all met back of the Lamb , building. We left there then and came down the street and saw . somebody on the corner of Branch's cotton yard. There was myself, Sam Walls, J. B. Piver, Gil Ward, John Pittman, Tommle Bass, Lawrence Mor gan, old Davis, John Allen and W. H. Rich. My understanding was that we met there to whip Jones. Snaken burg and old man Dick Alley passed us at Branch's cotton yardJJtt was some time after 11 o'clock then. "We left there and - went, to Percy j Jones' room. The door was aborea open and there were three guns fired. Those who .went in were John Allen, W. H. Rich, John Pittman, Tommie Bass and Gil Ward. . When the shots were fired I heard Jbnes or somebody hollow. I heard John Allen say . he was shot and I ran down the steps. I don't know where Lawrence JMorgan was. He was to go off and shoot off a pistol. I heard the shots, but who fired them I don't- know.- They were 1 to be fire for the purpose of attracting j the attention of the policed Th4 shots !. in the room were fired In quick succes- slon. n, "When I came down stairs I went Into the alleyway that leads to the sanitarium. .

This was the afternoon before the trouble. I think Jones was standing about Dannenberg's market. I had said any man that associated with negroes should be driven away from town. I did not agree with any person or persons to run Jones out of town. I know nothing about any committee being formed to drive Jones out of town. I was not on Branch's cotton yard the night Jones was killed; went down town that night about nine or ten o'clock, and stood around on the street. No one in . particular was with me. I heard not a word about any one going to whip Jones, After the bars closed I went off -to look for Plver. I was : (working for him. knew he was drunk, and I went to get him to take care of him. I went down the street towards Taylor's bar-room and staid about looking for Plver.' 3 had been drinking some but not to ex cess. ; I met Piver some" where about Farmer's stables and we came down street.

From the Sentinel. Gebo. Mont.l In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1881, the editor of this paper was among the many seekers after for tune who made the big race one fine day in April. During- his traveling about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him - a verv 7 severe diarrhoea which it seemed almost im possible to check, and along . in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham berlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as a last hope. A big dose was given him while he -was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in a few minutes the dose was re peated. The good effect of the medi- ekie was soon noticed and within ao hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for a fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and be cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders beir?t at ran.i snr?ts this item. For sa. a t .

The Care and Cultivation of Tobacco, J. W. Burtre la Ssmpaon Democrat Soeakintr from an experience of the past lo years 1 will, say: Tobacco is a very quick crop, and , should have rapid cultivation. I have found It to be very important and profitable to cultivate verv deeo. and at least everv io aaysv. until : it is topped; it should not be neglected untu it gets grassy to work it. Keep it stirred often and you will get good results. " After It gets too large to run close to it, the plow should be run in the middle. By so doing you keep it from firing up un til .it gets its normal , weight and growth. , ' ' This is an unusual year for Its but toning out too low-4-that is caused by the plants staying in the beds too long. When they are not pulled up as soon as they are large enough, they become hard and tough, and the con sequences are as soon as they are set ana oegtn to take root, they button right out. After the button forms, there has never yet been a remedy discovered to stop It. The only thing to ao wnen it buttons out too tow is to cut it off while it is young, and early In the season.' It should be cut oil near the ground and let a succor come, uater in the season, say your tobacco i Knee high, and it begins to button, the button should be cut out and let a succor come In the too. keeping all succors pulled out except tne one you want to grow. , it will sur prise you to see how fast the succor will grow. When the succor gets as high as you want it, top it as you would a plant, and it will make (rood tobacco. This has been my experience during my 15 years as a tobacco erow- er, and i have always had good re sults. We should take great pains and care with this crop or tobacco, as all indi cations are promising that it will be as high, if not higher than it was Last year, owing to the great failure in a portion of this, and other states to get out.a full crop.- The crop will be much smaller, considerably so, than It was last yea r. ; The cro p in the Connecti cut valley, that annually brings the tarmers i million aoiiara, is & total failure. Texas, Virginia, and many other states are cut very short by the recent droughts. " All the large western counties, and in this state also, that raised large crops usually, only have but about ban a corp. All we have got to do is to take pains,, make all the pounds we can, handle It nicely, and we will have cause to feel proud that we planted it this year. Virtue Is Rewarded, Chicago News. . .
