ST. Louis, Oct. 2.-There are no new de-
velopments in the Adams express robbery.
Mr.. Damsel was seen at his Office this
morning but said that he gave the associ-
ated press all of the facts In the case, so
far as they had come to his knowledge yes
terday, and absolutely nothing new had
turned up since. In regard to the report
that Messenger rockingham hal made a
confession, he stated that there was
NO TRUTH IN 1T,
that they were working on the theory that
the messengers story was true; that the
latter had not been arrested nor placed
under surveillance, but of his own accord
was in constant communication with the
officers of the company and detectives.
The dispatches from Springfield printed
here this morning giving the story of a
man who travelled from ST. Louis with an
individual who answered the robbers de-
scription, whose satchel contained a large
number of bank notes tied up in packages,
was shown Mr.. Damsel, who said that if
the story was true, it was
VERY IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.
But there were so many stories aaoat of 4
like nature, that it was difficult to select
the probable from the improbable ones.
They would investigate the occurrence but
doubles if il would lead to the discovery
of the robber. The detectives have several
other clews.
rockingham in relating in detail his
experience with the robber, to-day said:
AFTER BINDING NE,
Cummings, as he called himself, took the
key to the safe frem my pocket, unlocked
the safe and took the pouches out. He
then took his gripssck and opening it tiled
to force the pouches in without opening
them but could not do so. He then took
his knife from his pocket, cut the pouches
open and removed their contents. He
then removed some articles of clothing
from his bag and threw thep out OF the
window of the north side of the car. We
were then somewhere
NEAR MERRIMAC
| should Judge, for we had just passed
through a tunnel. He transferred the
money to his bag and was then ready to
make his escape. Before he left he said TO
me:
''You would be surprised if l told you
who | am"
/ said: 81 don't know as L would"
"Well," he continued
II AM JIM CUMMINGS,
the last of the Jesse James gang. / was in
the Blue Cut job and only got 81 800 out of
it. Since then have passed considerable
time In Australia and San Francisco"
He seemed familiar with the names and
doings of the various members of the
James gang. When we began talking he
removed the gag from my mouth but when
the train reached a point near Pacific he
replaced it so that i could make no out
cry, in the mean time threatening to blow
my brains out if l attempted to attract
any ones attention"
TO TEST THE MESSENGERS STATEMENT
a search was made for the clothes which he
said the robber had thrown from the car
and on the no tn side of the tra,A near
Merimec several articles of clothing and
some old paper and printed songs were
found and have been brought to this city.
One of the garments measured about
thirty-eight inches around the waist bear

been taken cut
The Milwaukee train bringing those

What is Farming ?

1t is something more than staying on a
farm, it is something more than skim
ming the soil. 1t is more than selling hay
or potatoes, and bulky crops mammal
lied. Farming is business, profession.
a practical and scientific operation. The
process of nature must be understood, and
worked in harmony with the chemistry of
the earth and air. The processes of ma
ture must be understood, if not in their
technical terms and language. in that SEN
sible understanding, that common sense
way. that their own advantage and capa-
bilities may be turned to the best account.
The lawyer works by law and precedent,
the physician works by symptoms and in
dicatlons, the merchant by rules and OBJ
servatien, the mechanic by measures and
capacities. The farmer must work by all
by rules. laws. observation and expert
ment. He must be skilled work man in
the productive, operative and commercial
circles IN which his business lies and his
sphere of circulation extends.

days journey. according to Secretary
RUsSell's idea. should not exceed twelve
or thirteen miles. This is as great dis
lance, he thinks, as can be economically
allotted to a horse as days journey for
every day in the week. If he has a long
err journey he must have day or two off
each week. This days work of a travel
ing horse is based on the experience of
stage and car companies. For the stage,
where most speed is required. ten miles
have been found the limits of an econo-
mical days journey. Yet a great deal
depends on the speed. Give the horse
plenty of time and he can do a longer
daily journey than he can if he is urged
beyond an easy gait. In emergencies a
good horse can do fifty or sixty miles in
dat. Seventy-fve and eighty miles have
been driven But such long. fast journey
are very trying to the horse, and he needs
to be managed with great care and judg-
ment to prevent harm from such violent
continued exertion. Such driving cannot
be repeated often with safety. The regu
lar days journey should be heightened or
shortened according to the condition and
character of the road and the weight of
the load. Then there is difference in
individuals, and what one horse does with
ease may be very hard on another. Feed
and care are also factors in the problem
not TO be overlooked.

Vegetables Better than Drugs.

Spinach has direct effect upon COM
plants of the kidneys.
The common dandelion. used as greens,
is excellent for the same trouble.
Asparagus purges the blood. Celery
acts admirably upon the nervous system
and is cure tor rheumatism and neural
ga.
Tomatoes act upon the liver.
Beets and turnips are excellent appetite
ers.
Lettuce and cucumbers are cooling in
their effects upon the system.
Onions. garlic. leeks, olives and shall
lots, all OF which are similar, possess
medicinal virtues of a marked character,
stimulating the circulatory system and the
consequent increase OF the saliva and the
gastric juice promoting digestion.
Red onions are an excellent dluretic and
the white ones are recommended eaten
raw as remedy for insomnia. They are
tonic and nutritious.
A soup made from onions is regarded
by the French as an excellent restorative
in debility of the digestive organs.

Sweating Apples.

Many practical fruit growers well know
that the sweating Of fruit is not from the
passing IF of the actual moisture OF the
fruit, but from the condensation of the
moisture of the air from natural causes, as
in the deposit of dew. Popular Science
News gives the rationale of the matter,
which we reproduce and endorse. 1t says:
Farmers, and even agricultural papers
of the better class, often sllude to sweat
on stored fruits as something that comes
from within the fruit, and which is to be
regarded as natural or necessary exuda-
ton. One of the best agricultural papers
in the country, 10 late issue. gives this
advice to farmers and fruit gre wers: 'Ap-
Piles intended for market should be gath
cred and laid in pile on the ground for a
week or more, so that they NAV sweat be
fore barreling' Now, let US consider this
matter for moment The skin of sound
apple is practically protective covering,
and designed for twotold purpose: First,
to prevent the ingress OF air and moisture
to the tender cellular structure of the fruit /;
and second, to prevent the loss of juices
by exudation. There is no such process
as sweating in fruits. When men or ami
mails sweat. they become covered with
moisture passing through the skin; when
an apple becomes covered with moisture.
it is due to condensation of moisture from
without. Apples taken from trees ON a
cool day remain at the temperature OF the
air until change to higher temperature
occurs, and then condensation of moisture
from the warmer air circulating around
the fruit occurs. just as moisture gathers
upon the outside Dt AN ice pitcher in sum-
mer. This explains the whole matter /;
and the vulgar notion of fruits sweating
should he dispeled from the mind
at is almost impossible to gather APP
Piles under such conditions of temperature
that they will not condense moisture after
being placed in barrels. it would be bet
ter il this result could be avoided, as dry
ness OF fruit is essential to its protracted
keeping.
Our northern autumns are character
lied bv changes from hot to cold and these
occur suddenly. The days are hot, and
the nights cool, and this favors condensa-
ton. Apples picked on a moderately
cool day, and placed in a moderately cool
shed, protected from the sun, will not
gather moisture, and this is the best
method to pursue when practicable"

UTTERLY DISCOURAGED

expresses the feeling Of many victims of
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and ner-
vous or sick headache. Having tried
numberless so-called remedies, and physi-
clans of all schools, without relief there
seems to be no hope. Many such have as
a last resort tried Athlophoros, and to their
surprise and joy have found that it was
safe, sure and quick cure Athlophoros is not
an experiment; thousands have been cured
by its use and they testify as to its value.

Economy in Feeding Dairy Cows

The time is fast approaching it it is not
already here. when dairymen in the older
settled districts, where land is high. can
not afford the waste of letting their cows
run IN pastures. 1t is an expensive way
of feeding, and requires good deal more
land to keep cow than is required wnere
an intelligent system of soiling is prac-
ticed. We see it stated that a daryman
in the State of New York has been sum-
mering his cows on the following dairy
ration: Per COW, 40 pounds of corn ensi
lage, six pounds of ground feed. and eight
pounds of cut hay" and it is stated that
on this ration the cows are doing as well
as in former summers when running in
the pasture. By this means he is enabled
to keep COW on one-fourlh the land that
is required for pasture-a difference that
would enable him to keep four cows where
he formerly kept one. The ration would
have been more satisfactory if the kind of
ground feed had been named. If it is an
equal mixture, by weight, of oatmeal and
corn, or wheat bran and corn, or mid
dlings and corn, and the hay given is clo
yer hav, or hay in which clover strongly
predominates, the ration is good one
but rather tight. Still. 1.-THE proof of the
pudding is 10 the eating" and if he gets
satisfactory results, that settles the ques-
ton. But the main objection to soiling is
the question of cleanliness. We seldom
see stable that is properly ventilated and
cleaned, so that an offensive odor is not
encountered the moment the door is
opened. This foul air is highly objection
able as being inimcal to health, and giving
hoA r1a nd 70 hn
barnyards are clean and sweet enough for
cows to run in, and they would soon get
foul and offensive anyway. 1t is better
to give the cows the run of pretty good
sized lot. so that they may have room to
