name to piece of paper it is Just as
good as any obligation in the world.
Gould has been the most dextrous Of
the lot. Keene represents his name. In
character he is certainly wonderfully
keen man. The history of his opera
tions in Lake Shore and Northwestern
would be great subject for one of your
letters. He took Lake Shore at 60 and
got rid of most of it at profit of 100
per cent, and in the same way he took
Northwestern when it was almost 40

The use of swamp muck for the pur-
poses Of fertilizing, supposed by many
farmers to be of value, and often pro-
cured by them at the expenditure Of
considerable labor, is shown by the rel
port of the Connecticut Agriculture
Experiment Station to be Of compare
lively small value. On coarse-tex-
tured soil, which will not retain moist
ure, muck may be useful, but as a d.
rect source of plant food it is not, and
its use on grass land, or newly-broken
soil, is, to use the words of the report,
like carrying Goals to Newcastle" 1t
is only when the swamp is a basin, with
a small or no outlet, and receiving the
"wash" from rich soil. and has a
growth of heritage tall and rank, and
a large accumulation of forest leaves,
that the muck may be expected to con-
tain much of value as plant food.
The report also states that the best
potato crops are raised on the blacklist
and most mucky soil, and that they
never rot, and adds: "Since low. damp
situations are commonly favorable to
the potato rot, this observation
suggests that possibly the potato fungus
is cOunteracted by some ingredient Of
this mucky land. 1t is important that
the experience of those who have raised
potatoes on mucky land should be made
public, in order to guide investigation
on the subject"

The CosT OF PENSIONS is not a
small item, but an increase Of cost in
a legal way may be necessary to pre-
vent frauds and a greater depletion
of the public money. Recent debates

light on the general aspects of the
pension question. To increase the
number of clerks employed is deemed
necessary, 10 order that all claims BE-
adjudicated within three years. Of

If each Of the agents examine $50
claims 10 a year, or all of them ex-

that will be needed to satisfy CLAIM 4
the next four years is estimated by
the commissioner as follows:

Cyclones and Floods.

Chicago June 27-The papers are
burdened with reports of storms, cy-
clones, floods and winds, so general in
character and so similar in having
wrought damage to crops, that the con-
clusion is irresistible that the greatest
injury has been inflicted that was ever
done by irruptive storms. There has
been; also, in addition to injury to
crops, great loss in cattle, to fences
and outhouses, and not little loss of
life. Butter Co. Neb.. was devastated
by tornado on Sunday. A number Of
people were killed, much stock lost and
small crops destroyed. The path OF
the storm was ten miles wide. The
damage is estimated at $4,000.
In the vicinity of Verona, Ia, the
streams raised to a great hight, fields
completely inundated, bridges and
sluices carried away. Many farmers
abandoned the idea of raising enough
corn to feed. Oats were materially In
jured, many fields being red with rust,
and the outlook for crop 80 per cent.
worse than ten days ago.
Disastrous storms in Missouri, along
the line of the Hannibal & st. Joseph
Railroad blew down thirty miles Of tel

There is a bad wash out on the

Almost cyclone visited Galesburg
Sunday night, and although the damage
there was not great, the neighboring
country was severely visited. The
Illinois River is out of its banks and
bottom. Farming for this year is i'm
possible. The railways generally have
suffered much loss, but no severe mis-
haps have occurred to trains on account
of the carefulness Of the management.
The telegraph wires are twisted, torn
and grounded in every direction.
In Nebraska the storm travelled 40O
miles in six hours, being from North
Platte to Omaha.
Yesterday noon an angry black cloud
and hot, rank atmosphere scared the
people of Atchison, KS. A part of the
storm struck Kerwin, and completely
carried away buildings, barns, churches
and residences.
AT Talmadge, Marysville, Avoca and
Otner points the storm wrought de-
struction. Crops were leveled in all di
rections.
AT st. Joseph, Mo-, the depot was un
rooted, and at Lathrop several house:
raised from the ground. The damage
to crops in Nebraska amounts accord
ing to different estimates, to from 500,
600 to $750,O00. The loss in Oma
ma is estimated at $4,000. Th'
loss about Geneseo, Ill, is about IL, ZOO
The great bulk of the losses seem Il
have been on farmers and are yer,
slow in coming to light.
