The situa tion is analogous to that in long silk gloves last Summer only it is possible to weave silk gloves, while it is impos sible to supply more skins suitable for making kid gloves. Many stores in this country are al ready short.' Ye ordered an immense quantity of these gloves through our Paris house, from the best French mak ers, almost a year ago. At present we have an immense selection, embracing every quality, every size and every shade. We strongly advise every Portland woman to buy as many pairs of kid gloves as she ueeds--at the present time. Before the Winter is over, you may not be able to get your size at any price.

Agents for Best PUN Gl GANT1G WHEAT CORNER American Farmers Meet in Convention at Topeka Tomorrow. REPRESENT ENTIRE WEST Fifteen Hundred Delegates Will Voice Sentiment of 750,000 Till ers of Soil Scheme Backed by Millions In Gold. TOPEKA. Kan., Oct. 20. (Special.) Three-quarters of a million Ameri can farmers are about to corner the en tire wheat crop of the United States. A concerted and somewhat strategic movement in the direction which has been under way for months, promises to crystallize into definite action im mediately in fact, the cornering proc ess has, to some extent, already been consummated, and the finishing touches are to be a part of the programme of the "Farmers' Co-operative Congress," which will convene in Topeka tomor row morning. This congress will con sist'of 1500 delegates and spectators, representing a score or more of states, all the way from Oregon to Georgia, and will be in session four or five days. The congress is an offspring of the Farmers' Educational and Co-operative Union an organisation whose phenom enal expansion entitles it to considera tion as a factor of material conse quence in the industrial and commer cial affairs of this country. James Butler, of this city. a National director of the Farmers' Union, was first to sug gest, such a congress, and other lead ers promptly concurred in the idea. Briefly summarized, the ambitious plan of the farmers participating in this movement is to store the wneat crop in co-operative elevators, which are to be located at numerous con venient paints in the wheat-producing s.tates, and simply decline to sell until whatever price they may agree upon Is offered. Forty-six co-opera.tive elevator com panies were chartered in the State of South Dakota during the first ten days of September, and more than 20 eleva tors were purchased by the new com panies and will be operated by them in the handling of this year's crop. One hundred and twenty-seven co-operative elevator companies have been organ ized in the State of Minnesota, and are now in operation; Kansas already has more than 80; there are 100 in Illinois, 40 in Oklahoma and 100 in Nebraska. Will Wipe Out Surplus. The purpose is to urge co-operation . all along the line, to keep the farmers posted, and eventually to. control acre age so that there will be' little surplus to carry over. And the money to do all this where is It coming from? For answer the organ izers point to the J12o.000.000 lying in the state banks of Kansas to the credit of the farmers as guarantee that this time Wall street will not be asked to stick a finger into the pie. And they point to the millions of dollars of farmers' money in the banks of the South, alt subject to check. Farmers call attention to the suc cess of the co-operative elevators and mills as proof that the farmer is as good a business man as the city chap, and when he puts his hand to a business en terprise, can run it as well as the best of the city-born. Among the states represented in the congress, as indicated by hotel reserva tions which have been made, are: Illi nois, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Virginia, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, South Dakota. North Dakota, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Nebraska, New Mexico, Indian Territory, Tennessee, Colorado, California and Washington. A majority of these dele gates will come properly accredited, while others, from states where unions have not yet been organized, will be present as spectators. Wheat is only one of many products to be taken up for discussion by the con gress. It happens that juet now particu lar attention Is being directed toward wheat, the Idea being to eliminate the middle men or speculators. In order, that the reaper of the wheat may also be the reaper of the profit. Battle Cry Is Brains. "It takes muscle to raise a. crop; It takes brains to sell the crop for a profit." This is the battle cry of the Farmers' Union. Note the remarkable growth of this organization: In 1902, the late Newt Gresham, a picturesque and brilliant char acter of Southwestern rural life, organ ized the first union In Rains County, Texas. Nine other charter members joined him, the personnel of this Intrepid ten standing as follows: J. B. Morris, O. H. Hodes, W. 8. Sisk, T. J. Pound, W. T. Cochran, Jesse Adams, Newt Gresham, J. 9. Turner, W. W. Don aldson, Lee Seamster. Newt Gresham, the founder of the union, is dead, but his soul goes march ing on, and from the humble start down in Rains County, Texas, four years ago, the union has spread until its member ship now aggregates 700.000. Newt Gresham was a thinker and a genius in his way, and, by the flickering, sickly gleam of a kerosene lamp on the evening of the original meeting, he wrote a pre amble setting forth the general purposes of his organization. A copy follows: This Institution is based upon the prin ciples of equity, justice and the golden rule. We. the charter members of this Co-operative Union, have already lived to see the Grange rise like a young giant and then wither like, the gras;. even be fore it was half spent. We rejoiced at the birth of the once glorious Farmers' Alliance and we witnessed the first revo lution of the agricultural wheel then wept as we saw the two laid to rest, side by side in the same premature grave. From these we have learned a simple lesson. We are told that all professions of men under the sun can be organized successfully except alone the man who plows. Is this true? If so. then we of all the people are most unfortunate. Great combinations of capital now control the price of every commodity that is made for man's use and happiness. We price nothing. The simple lesson we have learn ed is this: As all institutions must come up from small beginnings and profit from the experience of past ages, even so do we propose to take, lessons from these Institutions passed into history. . xicL- mate success Is not gained at a singto bound In any great movement. The world only moves by inches. Because thn Grange, Wheel. Farmers' Alliance and all kindred movements failed to reach the . goal of final success, does that mean that we must forever give It up? Do we teach our children that sort of lesson? Or do we tell them, Vhen they fall to up and at it again? These institutions which have passed into history can not be branded failures. They have nerved as good schools, and. In reality, paved the way for the launch ing of another great Institution whose ob jects and alms are as follows: First To discourage as much as possible the present mortgage and credit system. Third To labor for the education of the agricultural classes in the science of crop diversification and scientific agri culture. Second To assist our members In buying and selling; Fourth To constantly 9trive to se cure entire harmony and good will among all mankind, and brotherly love among ourselves. Fifth To form a more adequate union with those In authority for a more rigid and Impartial enforcement of the law. that crime, vice, and Immorality may be suppressed. Sixth To garner the tears of the dis tressed, the blood of martyrs, the laugb. of innocent childhood, the sweat of hon est labor, and the virtue of a happy home as the brightest jewels known. This is in no sense a political party, and shall forever abstain from so much as a discussion of pftrtylsm. Yet we do not feel it is our right to place shackles upon the mind nor a padlock upon the Hps of anv-one who may wish to discuss for educational purposes, the science of gov ernment, because upon this great rock all Important structures must rest for either mental, moral, social or financial develop ment. First Meetings Secret. In the beginning the new union watf given but little publicity. The meetings were secret and nobody seemed to care. But the movement gTew on and on in the meantime, and attracted attention from the entire- country the first week: of last September, at which time the first annual National convention was held at Texarkana, Tex. Twenty states were rep resented at the Texarkana convention and it developed into one of the greatest gatherings ever held in the South. Numerous weekly and monthly publican tions have espoused the cause of the union, one of these being the Farmers' Advocate, of Topeka. For the immediate future 150 organizers are to . be .placed in the West to spread the propaganda. Every county in the wheat-growing states will be visited. All laboring organization will be invited to co-operate in the move ment. I HAUNTED BY HIS VICTIM' MCRDERER WILLIAM HOSES SAYS HE CANNOT SLEEP. Face of Dead Woman Always Before Him as He Cowers Terror stricken in His Cell. V! Continually haunted by the face of the) woman he murdered, and ever feeling hef parting kiss upon his Hps, Henry Hosei tosses on his prison cot, unable to sleep or eat. Trembling like a leaf In the Au tumn wind, his eyes filled with tears, he lies and moans for death to bring relief from the awful vision that is always in his brain. Hose murdered Nellie Doyle, allaa Madge Wilson, Friday morning. In the Winchester lodging-house. Yesterday aft ernoon he was arraigned before Presiding Judge Sears on the charge of murder In the first degree. The prisoner is expected to enter a plea tomorrow morning. Fearing that Hose might attempt lo commit suicide, Sheriff Stevens last night removed him to the solitary cell formerly- occupied by men under sentence to be hanged, and placed a special guard over him, Samuel Wagner being on watch last night. "I can't eleep, I can't sleep at all," said Hose yesterday, "for whenever I close my eyes I can see her face. I loved her from the bottom of my heart, and . when I picked up that razor and cut her throat I was so madly jealous that I did not know what to do; I thought she liked someone else better than me. I can see her before me all the time, but she looks so pale and ghost-like whenever I close my eyes that I can't sleep. "And then I can feel the kiss she gave me Just before I did that awful thing. I leaned over and kissed her lips, then struck a hard blow. I heard her fall back upon the bed, but I never looked around simply washed my hands and walked out of the room. The reason I did not kill myself was because the razor blade broke when I struck last." The prisoner grows more nervous as night comes on. He Is weak from loss of sleeD. He was hardly able to stand when brought before Judge Sears. The prisoner having stated that he had no money, tne court appointed Attorneys Waldemar 9eton and R. A. Sullivan to defend him. When asked last night what his plea, would be, Hose said that he did not know. "I only want the whole business to be over with quickly." he said as he turned his head towards the wall, and Ills body; shook as though he was sobbing. That Hose murdered Mrs. Doyle !n A manner more brutal than he admits Is the firm belief of Deputy Coroner Arthur l Flnley, who has carefully investigated the case, and gives It as his opinion that Hose cruelly choked the woman with his hands, fractured her skull with a beer bottle, and then, when she was helpless, wielded the deadly razor. Careful examination of the body re vealed imprints of fingernails about the neck, plainly Indicating she had been choked, and there was a. bad fracture of the skull, such as could not have been caused by a fall. It Is thought a beer bot tle found In the room was the weapon with which Hose crushed hT skull. A Jury Impaneled by Deputy Coroner Flnley yesterday afternoon listened to evidence in the case and brought In a verdict that the woman met her death In the Winchester House, Third and Burn side streets, by incision of the throat, inp flicted by Henry William Hose. Attorney Robbed and Murdered, CHICAGO, Oct 2a The body of Charles H,. Stevenson, an attorney, was found early today at the bottom of a freight elevator shaft in the rear of a building at 96 Washington street. It was at first supposed that Mr. Stevenson had fallen down the shaft, but later developments led to the opinion of the investigators that the attorney had been robbed and murdered and then thrown down the ele vator shaft. Mr. 8tevenson Is said to have been a distant relative of ex-Vke-President Adlal Stevenson. State of Maine Shaken I p. YORK, Maine, Oct. 20.
