About Long Gloves
Cable report from Chemnitz, as well
as trade conditions throughout the eoun-'
try, indicate a famine in long kid gloves
before the Winter is over. 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.

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. The earth shock
experienced last night in several York
County towns alon the Coast was re
newed today. Between 9 and 9:30 o'clock
a slight vibration was noticed. At 10:5S A.
M four or five quakes, much more per
ceptible than the previous one. followed
eocli other inside ol a minute. Pictures
fell from mantels and walls, and In some
Instances doors were Jarred and buildings
shaken. ,
