Gounod's Lost Opera Few people are aware that Goundon once, in a moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and, though he afterwards repented of his action, he was quite unable to recall its melodies. Goundon's opera "Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to write sacred music, but, happily for posterity, he thought better of his resolution. Triumvirate For T BARGAIN! BARGAIN!!

The comptroller of the currency has authorized the National bank, of Wichita, to begin business with a capital of $100,000. The directors of the Wellington Milling and Elevator Company, recently incorporated, have let the contract for the machinery complete of a 400-barrel flouring mill. The mill is to be erected at once. The first "gusher" gas well ever developed in Bourbon county has just been tested at Harding, a little town northwest of Fort Scott. It developed 2 million feet capacity. This is east of the strik as the gas belt. The owners are some Galena prospectors who have incorporated. Roy D. Owens, of Fort Scott; George W. Bromwell, of Beadle; Robert K. Gilger, of Leavenworth, have all been appointed railway mail clerks. George W. Ritchey, 73 years old, of Lenexa, Kas., and Martha McKinley, 73 years old, of Hazelton, Ind., were married by Probate Judge Snyder in Kansas City, Kas. Both had been married but their former partners in life are dead. State Superintendent Nelson had made the semi-annual distribution of interest money to the schools of the state. The distribution this time was 44 cents per capita. This is an increase over the last three distributions. In February, the per capita was 39 cents John H. Curran, secretary of the Populist state committee, who whipped H. N. Gaines, editor of the Advocate, the official organ of the Populist party, a few days ago, pleaded guilty to the charge of assault and was fined $25.

Zason, Bert Chronister, Lapler Williams, N. R. Poley and James Lillis. All are Kansas City, Kas., people with the exception of Mr. Chronister. He lives at Chapman. E. H. Corwin, secretary of the Forest Park Veterans' Association, has received a letter from General Fredericia Funston, stating that he will attend the reunion there October 1, 2 and 3, if possible. "I want it distinctly understood," he says, "that I am not to make a speech, not even a short one, and I do not want to be put in a position where I would have to refuse to make one." The Geary County Republican Club has received a message from President Roosevelt's secretary, G. B. Cortelyou, saying: "The report that the president would visit Fort Riley was erroneous, as his engagements were such that it will probably be impossible for him to go there this year." The message was an answer to an invitation from the club to the president to visit Junction City when he visited Fort Riley for the purpose of reviewing the troops at the maneuvers. The Santa Fe has laid off 120 men in the locomotive shops at Topeka. Lack of work was the cause. The company bought a large number of new engines in the East recently and also had some old engines rebuilt there. This made work service at Topeka and a reduction of the force of workmen is the result. The layoff is indefinite. The Santa Fe is building new car shops at Topeka. The company sold its property pany for a year. When they are completed the company proposes to build all of its engines and other equipment in Topeka. Several Central Kansas counties will, next week, sell a varied lot of real estate under the new law adopted two years ago by which county commissioners may sell, at private sale, land on which taxes are three and one-fourth years in arrears. The law is being tested in the courts, but attorneys say that there is not a chance in a thousand that the supreme court will decide against the law. The law was abso- lately necessary, order to enable the counties in which were boom towns and additions to clean up their property which was lying idle and paying nothing toward the taxes of the county. Mrs. Henry Moyer and her baby granddaughter were killed by lightning during a severe electrical storm on the Hardcastle and Kenyon Arm, nine miles west of Emporia. Four other people who were in the house at the time, including the child's father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Ed Davis, sustained heavy shocks, but recovered. Neighbors found the dead babe in the dead grandmother's arms and helped to revive the injured ones. Mr. Moyer husband of the dead woman, was in Kansas City selling a bunch of cattle when the accident occurred. Mrs. Moyer was one of the pioneer women of Lyon county, having lived there a quarter of a century. President E. R. Nichols, of the Kansas state agricultural college, who was recently elected president of the Rhode Island college of agriculture, has declined the presidency of the Eastern institution, and will remain at the head of the Kansas state agricultural college another year. Mr. Nichols was re-elected president at the spring meeting of the board. His work for the past three years has been satisfactory to the members of the board of regents, with the exception of Regent Coburn, who has been making an active fight to have the institution made more than a school of agriculture. At the June meeting of the board Mr. Coburn offered a resolution providing for a committee to take up the matter of securing a suitable man for president to succeed Mr. Nichols, but it was voted down, with only Mr. Coburn supporting it. Mr. Nichols went to the college in 1890 as professor of physics, and for the past three years has been serving as president. Mrs. McCall—Those neighbors of yours are quite lively.

The distribution this time was 43 cents per capita. This is an increase over the last three distributions. In February, the per capita was 39 cents in August last it was 40 cents and in February, 1901, it was only 38 cents. Another of Lyon county's oldest settlers has passed away. He was Charles Swartz, who had farmed in Lyon county since 1859, when he and his wife took a government claim near Emporia, which he owned until his death Mr. Swartz was born in France in 1822 and came to America when he was 20 years old. He leaves a wife and four grown children. The Indian school at Nadeau on the reservation in Jackson county will be opened up September 15 with athletic exercises. The principal feature will be a war dance, participated in by Potrattowaties, Kickapoos, Sac and Foxes and Iowa. There will also be a base ball game and horse races. The school has over 100 pupils enrolled and three teachers are employed. Professor Clarence J. Smith, who has been a teacher in the public schools of Kansas City, Kas, for the last twelve years, has accepted a position as head of the department of manual training at the state normal school, at Emporia. Last year Professor Smith was principal of the Reynolds school, in Kansas City, Kas, and the work of his pupils in the manual training line surprised the old instructors. Mager's hardware store was broken into Wednesday night for the fourth time this year. The robbers, Charles Vanderburg and "Jesse James" Caldwell, were arrested and confessed the crime. Vanderburg attempted to escape and two shots from the city marshal's revolver was necessary to stop him. He is a parole from the state reformatory located at Hutchinson. It is thought the pair committed the former thefts. The Santa Fe railroad will soon build a new passenger depot at Baldwin. An agreement has just been reached between the city council and the railroad authorities whereby the city donates the necessary ground on the east from the present depot. A large plat of ground will also be parked and made into an extensive park by the city and railroad people. The probabilities are that the new depot will be made of brick with covered platform. The present depot will remain and be remodeled into a freight depot. Robert B. White, aged 56, died Friday afternoon of apoplexy in his store at Chetopa. Mr. White came from Massachusetts thirty years ago and has been identified intimately with Chetopa's interests ever since, being senior member of the firm of White & Bates. He was owner of the electric light plant and was interested in the Independent Telephone Company of Southeastern Kansas. Mr. White invented the first rope reel and made considerable money from it. He was a bachelor and had no relatives except a brother in Taylorville, IL. The Eureka city council has granted the Eureka Gas and Mineral Company an absolute franchise for a term of twenty years. The franchise was granted only after a hard fight, which has been in progress since gas was found there ten days ago. A strong flow of gas has been found there at a depth of 880 feet, the well cased and temporarily plugged, until the gas from the present well can be used in the drilling of a second well, which will be sunk in a few days. It is possible that the townpeople be sent this summer. The townpeople are jubilant and the gas will be piped into town before winter. At present this is the only gas well in Greenwood county. The business men at Severey and Madison, however, are interested in Eureka's find and will sink prospect holes. Pension Agent Metcalf's annual report shows for the first time in the history of the office a slight decrease in the amount of money paid out at the Topeka agency for the past year compared to the previous year. The total amount dishurred from Topeka for the fiscal year ending June 30 was $15,905,135.59. The total number of names on the roll shows a slight increase. There are now 115,855 pensioners, against 115,767 pensioners a year ago. The decrease is in the disability pensioners. There is a gradual increase in the list of service pensioners. There are now 846 Spanish war pensioners on the rolls of the Topeka office, against 517 last year. There are 57 widows of soldiers who fought in the 1812 still on the rolls. All the soldiers are dead. The Indian wars of 1832-1842 have 47 survivors and 178 widows on the rolls. Of the Mexican war, there are 1,942 survivors on the rolls.

Because he could not read the English label on the bottle, Anton Eiderman drank carboic acid, believing it to be whisky, and died within an hour, having suffered great agony. He was a prominent German farmer residing near Guthrie. While Mrs. Jack Fredericks, wife of a conductor on the Eastern Oklahoma railroad, and her two children were driving in Guthrie, the horse became frightened and ran away, overturning the buggy and fatally injuring Mrs. Fredericks. The children were brushed, but not seriously injured. James Simmons, a Lincoln county farmer, entered the sheriff's office at Guthrie and surrendered his son, Ben Simmons, who, with four other convicts, escaped from the Lansing, Kas. penitentiary on July 28 last. The father requested the officers to return the boy to the prison. J. M. McMorris, an aged and prominent resident of Charleston, Ill., was inisked for a burglar in the home of J. F. Shafer, at Oklahoma City, and was shot by Shafer, wounds being inflicted from which he died. Shafer recently located in Oklahoma City from Dixon, Ill. McMorris entered the house thinking his daughter, Mrs. Fred Troutman, still occupied it, and was bending over the cradle to caress his supposed grandchild when Shafer shot him. McMorris' dying statement exonerated Shafer. INDIAN TERKITORY BRIEFS. The postmaster general has authorized the establishment of free delivery service at Muskogee, December 4, with two carriers or substitutes and thirteen street letter boxes. Judge C. W. Raymond, of the western district of the United States court for the Indian Territory, has appointed Harlow A. Leekley to the office of United States commissioner for the Western district, with headquarters at Muskogee. Thomas Devaraugh, aged 78 years, living at Davis, attempted to cut his wife's throat with a razor, but was prevented. He then slashed his own throat, almost severing the windpipe, and will probably die. He was recently arrested for shooting a neighbor's horse and also on a charge of attempting to poison his own family. While drilling an artesian well at Fairland, an oil well was opened up in the very heart of the town, which produces a very high grade lubricant. Oil was struck within thirty-five feet of the surface and there is now considerable excitement over the oil at that place. Fairland is a small town on the Frisco railroad near the Missouri state line in the Cherokee nation. Judge Charles Raymond has appointed Charles F. Trotter, of Tuskahoma, to the office of United States commissioner for the Western district of the Indian Territory, with headquarters at Wagoner. Mr. Trotter was formerly commissioner at Sapulpa and his transfer to Wagoner caused a vacancy at Sapulpa, which has been given to Editor Ireland, of the Sapulpa Republic. Chief Buffington, of the Cherokeees; L. F. Parker, mayor of Vinita; Dr. Oliver Bagby, L. P. Bell and others from Vinita, have submitted a request to the Dawes commission urging that a law office be opened in the Cherokee nation at an early date, under the treaty just ratified. It was argued that citizens could not make rental contracts under section seventy-two of the agreement until their allotments had been selected. The Cherokeees are anxious for the land office to be opened. The contract between the Missouri, Kansas & Oklahoma Railroad Company and the city of Tulsa was signed at Tulsa recently. Most of the bonus of $2,000 has been raised and the contract for construction has been let several miles both ways from there. The greater part of the right of way from Tulsa to Wybark has been secured and work will begin at Tulsa at once and proceed both ways from there. It has been announced that the Wybark branch will be completed to Cleveland before the line from Stevens. James Hope, a Creek freedman a farmer living seventeen miles west of Eufala, has been looged in jail at Miskogee, having confessed the murder of his wife. Hope, according to his own story, had forbidden his wife to join a secret society, but she ignored his command and became a member. When she returned from the lodge meeting, Hope met her at the door of their home, attacked her with an ax and chopped her head off. He went to Eufala and surrendered. Hope is believed to be demented.

THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST A Popular But Very Much Misused Phrase. Kansas City Star: It is time some one called a halt on the misuse of the phrase, "survival of the fittest." No expression in the English language has suffered more at the hands of chatterers. If any sort of success is achieved in any manner of pursuit, instantly there arises a chant from the chatterers: "Survival of the fittest." In this way brains are dally made synonymous with a low order of cunning and a high order of kind are compounded with noble powers—even held in superior regard. This error—and it is a very grave one—comes from endowing a successful person with the elements of success in all things, instead of in the one thing in which he succeeded conspicuously. In a swimming contest a dog survives a man and a duck the dog, but does that mean that the duck is the fittest to survive? Yes, the duck is the fittest to survive—in the water. Let a philosopher, a musician and a gambler sit down to a game of poker. The gambler will survive. He will have the money when the game ends. But is he the fittest? Yes, for poker. In a malarial region a negro survives a white man, but is the negro therefore fittest? Yes, to resist malaria. Question: "Fittest for what?" should always be asked. Thus qualified it will not be made to appear that the fittest for any one thing is therefore the fittest for everything. And this is the mistake that is daily made by the unthinking. In an environment of commercialism the man who succeeds is the fittest—for commercialism. Nine out of ten of the successes pointed to today are money successes, and men who accumulate fortunes are constantly singled out as examples of the survival of the fittest. But there are many who question whether faculty for mere acquisition is the noblest. It doesn't necessarily follow that the man whose specialty is piling up dollars is the most useful citizen or the most cultured human creature. Nothing is more certain, however than that, while each type of the "fittest" is surviving in his own appropriate element, evolution is working through it all toward the point where the fittest all "round" will survive, himself is bound to do so, he will overcome the evil. Short-sighted persons, seeing evil temporarily flourish, sometimes doubt this. Animalcule, whose ephemeral lives are spanned by minutes, see clouds obscure the sun and believe the mist survives. They see for the first time in their lives, the sun sink beneath the horizon, night survives. Tartar-sighted beings know that the day will surely dawn. Because men are surrounded by an evil environment, by unjust industrial and commercial conditions, the survivor is rarely the fittest for the common weal. A farmer plants his corn and leaves it. The weeds survive. Yet from the farmer's standpoint the weeds are not the fittest. Weeds of greed, avarice, ignorance and obstruction constitute the body public. Education will do for them what the farmer's cultivation does for the weeds. The weeds must make place for the grain. But it will take education. Imagine a bed of geraniums crowding out an acre of rag weed! Imagine an artist vanquishing tradesmen! Man has a mind and a heart as well as a stomach and the fittest to fill the corn is rarely the fittest from the other two higher standpoints. The financial plane is an extremely low one. Life is more than meat and the body than riment. DISCIPLINING AN OPERATOR. Western Union Chief's Experience With a Refractory Employe. New York Press: Every telegraph operator in the country knows William J. Deady of the Western Union. When it is said that an operator in California knows one in New York the general understanding is that he knows his signature over the wire, and many warm friendships exist between men who never have seen each other, but whose acquaintance is ripe and dear through experience. Mr. Deady, then chief operator in the home office, was passing through the great room at the top of No. 195 Broadway, he heard a young man using strong language over the wire to some one in a distant state. "My boy," he said, gently touching the youth on the shoulder, "pehaps it is not so desperate a case as you imagine. What has he done to you?" The explanation was that he had fused to take a message or in any way to attend to business. "Let me have your key for a moment," said the chief operator. "I will converse with him." "Connect 29 with 69," said Mr. Dealy, which in the vernacular meant for some one somewhere to put him into communication with the obstreperous chap in the distant state. Telegraph operators have a secret code of their own which we laymen are not supposed to understand, even if we have in trukling of "Morse," Mr. Dealy, after finding his quarry, clicked that he wanted to talk with him awhile, ending a pleasant command with these abbreviations, "said" "Dr." "Dy." "Daily Presence" there came back over the wine from the incorrigible one "Who the — is Sawdy?" It is not on record, so far as I know, what happened to the offender, but only the oldest employees of the Western Union, the men in authority in the different branches of the service, contemporary with Mr. Dealy, ever dare to call him "Sawdy." The famous German actress, Marie Seebach, used to be considered miserly, but she was saving her money for her son, and when he died she bequeathed it to an institution for the support of aged and indigent actresses. Her life has recently been written by Otto Genschen in a truly Teutonic style. When ever the author comes to speak of her engagement in a new city—Kassel, Munich, Hanover—he recapitulates the history of that city, political and otherwise, up to the appearance there of this actress.

HE AND TWO OTHERS WERE KILLED. Norfolk, Va.—In a head-on collision between two cars on the Bay Shore Terminal line, late Sunday, three persons were killed and many others badly injured: The dead: W. S. Yandell, motorman. C. B. Colden, motorman. Linwood Fentress, aged 10. Seriously injured: W. R. Waller. R. J. Davis. George Stephenson. Mrs. J. P. Stephenson. Joseph White. M. V. Ahern. Benjamin Howson. Mrs. Lillian Land. John Taylor, colored. Maria Fentress, colored. Miss Ruth Banks. Phoebe Frederick, colored. Corliss Waller. Mrs. Victor Parks. Louis Parks. The accident occurred three and a half miles from Norfolk. One car was coming from Ocean View and the other going to the View. The orders were that the southbound car should wait at the sliding for the other. Motorman W. S. Yandell failed to obey the order, and the crash came 400 yards beyond the sliding. Yandell endeavored to jump but was crushed in the telescoped cars and died. Motorman C. D. Colden, of the other car, applied his air brakes as soon as he saw the danger, the collision occurring on a curve, and then tried to jump, as did young Fentress, president of the Norfolk Cold Storage and Ice Company. Both Colden and Fentress were caught under the platform of the shore-bound car, which plied upon the other, and were killed outright. Colden's head was almost torn from his body and both legs were cut off. The Fentress boy was crushed to death. Both cars were full of Sunday excursionists, and few escaped injuries. Help was telephoned for, and physicians and ambulances were soon at the scene. In the meantime, a large number of the injured were taken to the city in private conveyances. There is no complete list of the injured. Mr. R P. Waller, a brother of Major L. W. T. Waller, was on one of the cars and sustained serious injuries. M. V. Ahern, of the Virginian Pilot, was wedged between two seats and internally injured. Benjamin Rowson, managing editor of the Humorist, also sustained serious injuries. People who were near the front of the shore-bound car state that Motorman Yandell was talking with a young woman, who was standing on the front platform, when the crash came. After the crash, this woman was removed in an unconscious condition from beneath the motorman's body. SAM BAKER MORTALLY WOUNDED He Was Resisting Arrest When Shot- Two Others Received Burles. Two Others Received Bulet. Cheetah, I. T.—At 6 o'clock Saturday evening, Deputy United States Marshal Frank Jones shot and mortally wounded Sam Baker, a desperate character, in attempting to arrest the officer. Deputy United States Deputy George D. Howard, a prominent and influential citizen, who happened to be a spectator, was mortally wounded by accident. John Fox, an Indian, who also stood near, received an accidental bullet wound in the arm. There is an old feud existing between Jones and Baker, because of previous attempts to arrest the latter for getting drunk and disturbing the peace, and Saturday night's trouble has been dally expected. Sam Baker, who is a relative of the famous feudist Bakers, of Kentucky, and a relative of Frank and Jesse James, is identified with the famous Brooks-Riddle feud of the Creek nation, which has resulted in the death of fifty or more men in the last ten years. Baker is a brother-in-law of Brooks, both having married Indian women two years ago. Baker was for thirty days a deputy United States marshal, but the effect was not what was hoped for and he was removed. Fifteen months ago he killed Bob Centry, a respected citizen of this He was given a preliminary hearing and for some reason, was released. Doctors say he may not recover He insists, however, that he is not going to die and that he will yet live to mute out his ideas of justice to his enemies. George D. Howard is shot in the stomach and cannot recover. When the deputy came up to Baker to arrest him, Baker started to draw his six-shooter, but it caught in some way. The marshal leveled a cocked revolver in Baker's face. Baker reached out with his other hand and brushed the revolver aside as the deputy pulled the trigger, and Mr. Howard received the fatal shot. In like manner, John Fox, the Indian, was shot in the arm. There are a great number of sympathizers on either side, and further trouble is anticipated, from the fact that more than a dozen marshals from Muskogee and South McLester are here patrolling the streets. Deuteronomy is from two Greek words meaning second and law. The fifth book of Moses is so called from it being mainly a repetition of laws previously enumerated. Indian tribal authorities are forcibly electing large herds of cattle into Texas because of the refusal of owners to pay the tribal tax of 25 cents a head. Cattle are driven to Red river and put across. Stockmen in Texas complain that these loose cattle are doing much damage to fences and will ask Judge Bryant for an injunction against tribal officials. Attorney General Roberts has handed down an opinion holding that every taxpayer in a county wherein are located districts containing separate schools must pay the county tax for maintenance of the separate schools. The question from the prospect of residents of districts from the separate schools against paying for the support of such schools in other districts in the same county. The separate school question question is one of the important political issues in Oklahoma, the supreme court having decided they must be established wherever demanded. POLITICS HIS RUIN. C. A. Plank, o. Sprinfield' O. Commits to the Springfield, Mo.—Clarence A. Plank, who is supposed to have been police judge of Springfield, O., committed suicide at the Denton hotel Friday night. He came to town Wednesday morning from Memphis, and took a room on the third floor. The man kept to his room most of the day, but came down to the office a few minutes in the evening. He did not eat supper. Saturday morning when the Chamberbaird went to clean up the room, the man was dead. A quart bottle about half of whiskey was in the room. After the coroner was notified an ounce bottle, with a Memphis label marked him, was found in the room. The bottle was found in the room. The man had registered as James R. Patton, York, Pa. Three letters found in the room showed that this was an assumed name. The following letter was addressed to Mrs. C. A. Plank. Springfield, O.; Springfield, Mo. My Dear Wife and Boy: I must say good-by once and forever to you. May God bless you all. You think I spent my money on women, but I did not. It all went to my political debts. I think the best thing for you and me that I get out of this world, and then you will have peace. Your husband. C. A. PLANK. This letter was addressed to George A. Plank, Station A, Kansas City: My Dear Brother: I want you to see that I am buried. Carrie can't do it, for she isn't got a dollar. For my sake, look after Paul and Carrie. May the good Lord bless you. I am going to do the best thing. You take me to Springfield. I have clothes. You don't need to get any here. Do this for Carrie and Paul. Look after them. I know you will never miss it. I have gone through all kinds of hell. I am done. From your only brother, CLARENCE. May God bless you all. The following letter to the Morning Sun, of Springfield, O., was intended to explain to the public the cause of the suicide: I want to make a short statement for you to publish. I am short. I will admit it will be about $200 or $300, no more. You can't tell by the books because each person that is fined in police court don't have to pay the fines the books show they were fined. Afterward I get orders to remit the fines. Now, another thing, they say I spent my money on women. They alnt no woman in Springfield got one dollar from me for anything that was not straight. My money went to pay my political debts. Politics in Springfield is rotten to the core. Dig up the rest of them and see where they stand. I know. Yours truly. C. A. PLANK. On another sheet of paper the suicide wrote the following directions about the disposition of his body: When you find me, if in the day time, telegraph George A. Plank, Kansas City, Mo. He is my brother and will come here. If at night you telegraph him at Independence, Mo. My name is Clarence Plank, from Springfield, Ohio. An Engine Explodes Mexico, Mo.—The boiler of Chicago & Alton Engine No. 304, drawing fast meat train No. 86, blew up near Rush Hill, eleven miles east of this city, at 12:30 o'clock Sunday morning, killing Brakeman H. O. Markwell, of Slater, and injuring four others, two fatally, who were on the engine. I. C. Shallenberger, the engineer, and M. L. Stevenson, the fireman, are fatally hurt. T. J. McMahan, of Springfield, will lose both legs. The injured were brought here for treatment and the body of the dead brakeman was taken to Slater for interment. The train was running about thirty-five miles an hour at the time of the accident and threw all of the men off the right of way. The boiler was thrown a distance of about 200 yards and plowed an immense hole where it struck. The engine trucks remained on the track, but were stripped of all gear. Nine cars of dressed meat were ditched. A Crazy Mans Crime Muskogee, I. T.—Saturday, on board a Missouri, Kansas & Texas passenger train, just as it was pulling out of Stringtown, a small station south of Muskogee, M. D. McDoalD, pump repair in the employ of the "Kat'r" road, was seated near the front of the car, going to a pumping station, a few miles further south. Seated behind him, in the next seat, was a man who suddenly, without a word, sprang to his feet, flourished a revolver above his head, and, leveling it upon the McDoal, shot the latter in the back. Mr. McDoal's only words were: "My God, what did you shoot me for." Great excitement prevailed in the car and quickly the man placed the revolver to his own side and sent a bullet into his heart, killing himself instantly. Mr. McDoal is thought to be fatally wounded. He was taken to the railroad hospital at Sedalia. The suicide is entirely unknown. He had a ticket from Kansas City to San Antonio. He was undoubtedly crazy.

MISSOURI B UNTUL CREEK Corn at the Head of the List-Wide Close Second. Columbia, Mo.—Missouri will have this year the most bountiful crop all her history. The corn on the course, heads on the wheat. The second, oats, hay, fruits and vege- follow. On the whole, the fruit the least promising. Not more than the per cent of an average crop of will be obtained, and the yield probably fall below this figure. immense grain crops, however, make up for any minor defects of kind. Secretary George B. Ellis, of the board of agriculture, in report on the crops of the state, that the largest yields of corn in history of the state, previous year, was in 1895, when the averaged thirty-eight bushels acre. The total yield for that year about 250,000,000 bushels. Was not the only state having a mense yield that year, however, yield the majority of the price of corn. The average was at the farm伯 1, 1895, at the crop was worth $500,000,000 does not represent the true price ever, since much of the corn was for higher prices and still more reserved for feed. The farm price always much below the price or city markets. The lowest average yield of corn the history of Missouri was in 1914 year, when, owing to the drought, produced only 9.3 bushels to the cornfield. Now, as a consequence, highly grown, being 62 bushels and still higher in the cities. This year's corn crop will exceed the annual of 1895. Mr. Ellis places the amount the state at 7,645,000 acres, which is tween 2 and 3 per cent above the age for the last five years. Estimates the average yield at forty bushels, the acre, a reasonable estimate of the present prospects, the total yield the state will be in excess of 500 bushels, placing Missouri at the top of the list of corn producing states. The state board of agriculture tells that the United States authorizes been estimating the yield and area of both corn and wheat in the at too low a figure. It is of concern teresting to know what the big crop will bring in money. The board of agriculture absolutely rules to make any estimate as to the corn will bring. The million not so conservative, however. The lieve that the crop will bring about cents a bushel on the farm by ber. The average price for the taking everything into consideration may be about 30 cents. The total of the crop on this basis would be the neighborhood of $1,500,000 quality of the corn this year. Present conditions, will be unuse good. Regarding the wheat crop, Sorell says that an average wheat in Missouri heretofore was about 12.5 bushels per acre. The est pldes were in 1900 and 1901 were estimated at sixteen bushels year. It is too early to give an estimate for this year, but it probably reach twenty bushels acre. Yields from forty to bushels are reported in some which is an increase of more per cent over 1901. In this state the average of the in this state at 1,507,737 the price is 18,846,713 bushels and the value 873,429.

A bottle of Hamilin's Wizard Oil is a medicine chest in itself; it cures pain in every form. 50 cents at druggists. Professor Clark, of the Northwestern university of Chicago, is reported to have said to his class in literature: "The society girl is a parasite. She lives on her father, and, in return, she gives him nothing. She is of no benefit to the world, and there is no need of our keeping such a weight with us." The young man who seeks a society girl for a wife is on the wrong track. May God help him that marries one of them, for he is tying a mill-stone around his neck."

Several years ago it happened that the banister basso absolute opera singer Campinola and his high soprano wire, Kavantin Patti (not the oyster kind), came here both affiliated, in the left hand, with thereliosis. By some means their lung lunes got mixed, and after they were respectively paned, glued, sounded and reinserted, his basso lung was found in her soprano bosom and vice versa. The surface was that either of them was enabled thereafter alone to sing a duet. By a slight contraction of the oesophagus, the soprano lung in the husband was made contralto, and the lung in the wife converted into a baritone.

The membranous tissues of the laryngeal are cut out ready for application. A flexible round die is then used upon the patient to rasp out the diseased parts of the throat; the tissues are then glued on and you are then asked, barber-like, whether you want the bronchial tubes rinsed out with day run or witch hazel.

His father, so the story goes, was a rough old chap of the uncut-diamond sort, with a vocabulary more expressive than elegant. Well, at one time, young Gunsaulus found himself in possession of enough money to buy him a horse; after he had bought it, he rode it home. His father was in the barnyard when he came in, and he looked critically at the animal. "Where did ye git that hoss, Frank?" he asked. "I bought him cheap, father," said the young preacher. "He's a sorry-looking' critter, I must say," said the father. "Well, father," said Frank, "you remember that our Saviour rode into Jerusalem on a worse-looking animal than this." And the old man looked at the horse again, and said: "Durned if it don't think it's the same one!"

Sydney letter: Sooner or later the fearful drought which is devastating the Federated Colonies must make its effects felt upon the meat markets of the West and the beef trust in the United States will find an ally in the water famine which is killing off our stock like flies. The drought now prevailing is unprecedented and forms the climax of seven dry years. The losses of stock since 1892 amount to £20,000,000 sterling, of which £15,000,000 have been incurred since 1899. As a natural consequence agriculture is suffering correspondingly and the financial institutions of the new Federation patronized by squatters feel the crisis of market shares are falling, mines are shutting down and thousands of men out of work are drifting to the cities, where the state governments are establishing relief works. At present the northern districts of New South Wales and the Riverina have partly escaped the all-pervading drought. Communication with water inland is paralyzed, the water ways of the Darling and other rivers being unnavigable. Shipping is moored to the banks and the vessels float listlessly in the harbors. The crews have been discharged as there is no prospect of an early change. The governments are trying to mitigate the suffering caused by the drought as much as possible, the starving stock being carried on the railways at half rates, while crown lessees are not pressed for rent. Australia's sheep king, McCaughey, removed a million stock some months ago from the neighborhood of Bourke to the Riverina. Less wealthy stock owners have to drive their flocks. The drove leave wide barren tracks where they pass along and the routes are strewn with skeletons of sheep. The water catchment area of Sidney, near the town, is imperilled by these shadowy corpses. The resources to which persons who have stock to feed are driven remind one of the scenes of the Indian famine. Trees are cut down for wood, which is furnished by the bark, while others are left standing, but every leaf and twig has been gnawed off them. Above in the pitttle light of the sun, against the deep cobalt of the sky, the hawks and crows screech loudly and add an additional hideousness to the aspect of things, for the reason of their proximity is evident. A most remarkable thing is that the 4-year-old cattle in Western Queensland have never had wet skins. A common method of reviving exhausted horses and stock is to slit the palate with a knife, when the animal's own brow is raised and is rested. Men known as "sundowners" and "swagmen" are constantly being dead by the wayside and hundreds of them have doubtless died on the trackless wastes, the horrors of a death from thirst having been accelerated by the mirages of cool, grassy, evasive sheets of water which are frequent in Australia and particularly so during a drought. The upholding of the duties on folder has aggravated the situation intolerably. Formerly in such times as the present large quantities of folder were imported from New Zealand, but the heavy tariff now imposed renders that means of relief unavailable. The Federal parliament was recently asked to authorize a suspension of the duties for six months, but the request was negatived. One squatter now is paying over $1,500 a day for folder, while many are paying that sum weekly for straw soaked in molasses with which they keep life in some of their hardest stocks. At the present writing 4,000 miles of road and 40 routes are involved and each day matters seem to be getting worse. The rabbits, which have been such a curse to Australia, are now gladly seized upon for food and millions of them are starving. A committee of engineers is now sitting to devise a scheme of water conservation and irrigation. BERNARD SHAW. SINGLE OFFICERS IN DEMAND. Caused by the Crowded Condition of Military Posts. Washington Star: The overcrowded condition of the residential quarters at the various military posts in this country, due to the return of regiments from the Phillipines, is embarrassing the military authorities. The trouble is not so much with respect to housing the officers themselves as with the members of their families. The situation has reached a point where bachelors are favored over benefited in assignment to stations with limited living accommodations, where such discrimination is possible. The fact that there is no other choice between two young candidates for a commission it is bestowed on the single man in preference to one who is married. Even then it is recognized, however, that the bachelor appointed is not likely to continue long in single blessedness. The powers that be admit that their authority does not reach to the extent of interference with subsequent affairs of the heart. It is made plain that there is no official prejudice against matrimony—quite the military posts would afford if it were not for the family attachments of some of them. Congress provided liberally for the army in this respect during the session just closed, but it will be many months before the additional quarters authorized are ready for use. Of recent years Lord Salisbury's stoop and his air of meditative abstraction have not been commented on, but these have not been merely "old age" characteristics with him. The Westminster Gazette recalls that, as far back as March 1963, Mr. M. White, then principal doorkeeper of the house of commons, wrote as follows in a weekly journal: "We suspect that Lord Robert Cecil's habits are those of a recluse, and that he loves the retirement of the study. He is only 33 years of age, but he looks at least ten years older, and his pale face and stooping figure seem to show that poring over books is more congenial to his taste than the sports of the field." The nut growers of the South are to hold their first convention in Macon, Ga. Oct. 6, its especial object being to begin a campaign of education to show the value of the walnut, the English walnut when grown in that section. The experience of men who have made a success of the growing of such fruits will be especially sought, and efforts will be made to devise means for the protection of purchasers from misrepresentation and fraud, that the good repute of Southern-grown nuts may be retained. M INDIANA'S OFFICE OF GAMBERG CURIOUS SALT DEPOSITS Wicker baskets can be put to more uses than civilized man thinks of. Large enough and turned down one might serve as a habitable dwelling.

Workmen recently tore down in Paris a house which was built on the site of the old St. Paul cemetery, and as many prisoners of the Bastille were buried there in former times a few zealous and well known archeologists searched among the ruins, thinking that they might find some interesting relics of the old prison. One of them made a special search for the skeleton of the "Man in the Iron Mask," for he, too, it is said, was buried in this cemetery. His search, however, proved fruitless and he went home disappointed. Greatly, therefore, was he surprised ```markdown ``` One of the unique sights of California is the remarkable salt deposits at Salton. This region lies in a depression some 300 feet below sea level, and is thought at one time to have been the bed of an ancient sea or lake. The tract of land looks like a vast snow field. The rock salt deposits cover about 1,000 acres, and are now worked for A Costly Proceeding "Your aliment," observes the doctor as he bends over the patient, "is merely one of the llls that flesh is heir to." Here the patient rouses himself with an evident effort and replies: "Yes; and, speaking of falling heir to things, it always costs like sin to break the will, doesn't it?" But the physician, being true to his ethics, refrains from mentioning his charges until the patient has regained strength.—Judge. Some people are like clocks—they are continually going but never get anywhere. The Logic of the Lunatic The sometimes faultless logic of the lunatic is delightfully illustrated in the following dialogue: A writer to an asylum caw a man capering along the hastle astride of a stick. "Ah, ha!" said the visitor, wishing to be pleasant. "I see you are having a fine ride on your horse." "This isn't a horse,' answered the lunatic contemptuously. "Not a horse—what is it, then?" "It's a hobby," was the reply; "if it was a horse I could get off." We gain experience by making mistakes. These touches consist in thatching it with grasses and plastering it inside with mud. The floor is made of ant heaps, trodden and beaten down until it is very hard. The door does not swing. It is set up at night and taken down in the day. In times of tribal wars there is usually a little opening at the back of the hut for escape in time of need. There is no other opening, and the smoke finds its way out INDIAN'S STYLE OF GAMBLING hid in a tuff of grass. The remainder are covered. The game consists in guessing in which pile are certain of the animals named. The Indians will stake all they possess, including wives and children, on the game. Similarly, the Haidhals play "odd and even" with sticks, the winner being he when he received next morning a note from the contractor whose men were removing the house, informing him that portions of a skeleton and something very like a mask had been found in the spot which he had been examining. The distinguished archeologist hurried to the cemetery and feverishly asked to see the relics. He was surprised to find that they consisted of the bones of a sheep and of a rusty fencer's mask. A practical joker had buried them there and unbounded was his joy when he learned how neatly he had trapped the archeologist. The milky-way--the cow path. CURIOUS SALT DEPOSITS commercial purposes. The output from this place is about 2,000 tons of salt annually, valued at from $6 to $34 per ton. The labor is done chiefly by Indians, who are able to withstand the intense heat of the desert (running up to 150 degrees in June) better than the white men. The method employed is as follows: The salt is first collected by a peculiar Not a Tip According to an English newspaper a man sitting down to be shaved handed the barber some money, saying.

A Musical Accompaniment "Don't you think Will has a musical laugh?" "Indeed, I do! I noticed he always laughs when you try to sing."—Denver News. The late John W. Mackay was one of the best expert gold and silver prospectors in the United States. In the early days on the coast he was quite famous for his abilities along this line, and, while unable to find "paying leads" for himself, made a living by giving expert opinions on other people's "claims." through the grasses. Yet, let no one smile at this rude structure. It is home—a place where children are born, where mo herons croon little ones to sleep, where Anguish and the Death Angel enter in all their majesty; and where, in times of sorrow, of joy and loving, as many tender words are said, maybe, and as many kindly self-sacrificing deeds performed as in a palace. Reverence for the poor, upturned basket—it is a home! A who gets all the sticks. The game of the Colvilles is called "alkollock," and is played with spears cast through rings. Nearly all the Selish tribes of the British Northwest territories scorn the ordinary forms of gambling and bet only on horse racing.

The ruler of the Teutons is a true Admiral Crichton, and his versatility is almost illimitable. Not only war lord and head of the state, but also orator and historian, painter, musician and poet.

At critical moments in a candidate's speech the "barker" put him out by imitating a dog, and a really good man at the business is worth good money at such times.

Grand Duke Alexis Has a Favorite Dich, So They Say. Grand Duke Al@xis of Russia ts very fond of fried potatces, and dur- ing his recent visit to Paris he was wont to buy a few every day from a woman in the street and to eat them beside her stall. ‘The woman did not know him, but as he paid her in princely fashion, she was very anxious to find out who ho was. . “[ can tell you who he fs,” sald a neighbor one day. “He 1s Grand Duke Alesis, uncle of the czar and one of the greatest men in Russia.” Utterly amazed, the woman asked: “In heaven's name, how should I ad dress him?” “Oh, call him ‘Your Excellency,’ or ‘Your Royal Highness,” was the | an ewer. ‘Tho woman resolved to do s0, and the next day, as she was sprinklins some salt over the smoking potatoe: which the grand duke had bought she said: “I can recommend them te your royal highness, for I know yout excollency has never tasted bette potatoes.” ‘The grand duke burst out laughing and pald more for the potatoes thar ho had ever paid before, but he wa: annoyed at finding himself recognize and never returned to buy another potato. en aa One of the sea captains in the em- ploy of Stephen Girard had a rural Yankee’s fondness for whittling with hia Jackknife, and on one trip sue ceeded in getting away with a large part of the rail, although, feeling that he was not without the artistic senso he really regarded the rail as greatly Improvpd In appearance. When the vessel came to Philadelphia Gtrard went aboard, made a general inspec: tion in the captain’s absence, and, as he wis about to return to shore, asked one of the seamen who had”been cut- ting the rail. The seaman told htm the captain, and then, afraid his tell ing might’ have unpleasant conse quences were the captain to learn of it in a roundabout way, informed that official of the interview with Girard ‘The captain was in terror of a repr. mand, but, hearing nothing from his employer, supposed the incident closed. As he was about welghing anchor ready to leave port, a dray loaded with shingles drove down to the wharf, and the driver hailed the veesel. “There must be some mistake! shouted the captain, “Our Dill of lading doesn’t mention shingles!” “This 1s where they belong!” sung back the driver. “Mr. Girard, him- self, told me to deliver them!
