MIssOURrs TREASURER.
The Accounts and Money So Far Investigated
are All Right-Beliei Expressed that
There is No Crookedness.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, March 4.-No new
developments have been made here to-
day regarding the affairs Of State Treas
urer holland. All state officials and
other gentlemen who have been in con-
ference here have returned to Jefferson
City. The correspondent Of the Post
Dispatch telegraphs this afternoon that
the cashier in the treasurer's office, and
who has been assisting Governor Francis
in the examination of the books, states
that up TO that time no shortage
had been discovered and that be
believed the accounts of the Office
and money in the treasury would be
found ell right. The governor practic-
ally corroborated this statement, and
other officials expressed the same belief.
Mr.. holland stated to-day in referring
to the published reports that he had lost
some Of the state's money in playing
draw poker at Kansas City and New
York, that he did not care TO talk about
the matter now, but that when the
question OF his alleged shortage is set
fled he would give the reports consider
alton. lie intimated that he would
bring suit for libel.
LATER PARTICULARS.
Sr. Louis, Mo, March 4.-Tbe ru-
mored irregularities in the Office of
Ssate Treasurer holland are still un-
proved, and there is 6 wide divergence
In opinion as to the evidence Of the guilt
OF the state treasurer. Chairman C. C..
Moflitt Of the state Democratic
committee to-day said: "From the
best information can gain
none of these gentlemen who are on
Treasurer holland 5 bond express any ac-
tual knowledge Of the facts. The money
of the state is divided in funds for spe-
cfic purposes, and the appropriations to
meet the expenses OF the different
branches and departments of the state
government must, as the law provides q,
be drawn from those respective funds.
According to the reports which I
have heard in that meeting, holland
has used the money belonging to one
fund for the purposes of another, and
through the deviation from the pre-
scribed methods OF handling the money
has got his accounts into a tangle. His
bondsmen learned Of this, and fearing
that they might be called upon to make
good an apparent deficit in
one Of the funds, they decided
TO hold a meeting TO inform
themselves of the actual condition of af-
fairs and their legal responsibility. a
special from Jefferson City gives the fol-
lowing views of state officials and others
interested in the matter.
State Auditor J 81. Seibert said: "My
books show this morning that there is in
the treasury 81, $40, 1895. Some war
rants issued have not been presented for
payment, and accordingly there
is more money than this sum
in the treasury, but the
difference will be consumed when the
warrants are presented, 1 don t think
the investigation viii reveal any short
age.
State Treasurer holland stoutly NAM
tains his Innocence. He says: 81
have only one statement TO make, and
that is to reiterate what 1 said yester-
day, there is no shortage of any kind. l
stand on this statement, and the investi-
cation will prove that am correct. -

No Possibility Of Rescue.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, March 4.-There
is no apparent possibility of rescue of the
eight men entombed in the burning
South wilkesbarre mines or their bodies
until the mine has been flooded. This
VIII probably require a week or more.
At CLOCK this afternoon the third
exploring party returned to the surface
without having discovered the missing
men. It is impossible that they should
have escaped alive as the only place of
safety was in the tunnel, and this has
been thoroughly explored. They dis
covered the tools OF the victims, but
nothing to give any indication as to
where the bodies may be. They probably
became bewildered and ran directly into
the burning gas, taking various direo-
tons. 1t may be several days before
their bodies will be found. Search will
be kept up continually in connection
with efforts TO put out the FIRE.

why the Hens DO Not Law.

One of the pulling questions that Of
ten arise in the experiences of persons
raising fowls is why their hens are not
laying rs we'll as a neighbor's, who is far
more fortunate in the weekly additions
made to his egg basket From the di-
rections given in poultry journals and
by manufacturers ofspeciliCs for egg pro
duction, many persons start out with The
confident expectation of uninterrupted
success in raising chickens and eggs, TO
find at last that the business has for
some reason become Improbable.
In purchasing hens for laying, par
ticular attention should be given to the
color and appearance Of their combs,
which should be bright and red. Where
the comb has dull, siclly color, and u
kind of hattened down appearance, no
amount of feeding or care will force the
laying of eggs as long as these condi-
lions exist. Again, the legs should be
smooth and clean and frse from scales or
the appearance Of spurs, both of which
indicate that the hen has passed the lay
ing age. The cock should be bought out
of a different flock and be us purely bred
as possible, The principal causes of
failure in egg production are believed to
be; first, keeping hens that are too old;
second, breeding in and in, or a failure
TO introduce new blood from sources en-
tirely outside of ones own flock, and
third, keeping the flock too long in the
same runs.

Bleaching Beessax.

The query, (which is the best and
quickest way TO bleach common yellow
beeswaX?' was recently submitted to
leading bechccpers for answer in Amer
icar Fec Journal.
Dada..t & Son replied: Put it in the
SUN in t.in strips, when the sun is not
hot enou,,h to melt it. Some yellow wax

G. ". Dc.naree said: II have given
vers little attention to the art of bleach
ing bee-waX. My mother, many years
ago, bleacned hreswax by making it in
thin cl,.:c- and exposing them to the sun
and dcws.'
Mrs. L. Harrison answered: "Make it
into thin sheets and bleach it with sun
and dew, just as muslin is bleached A
lady at Railway, n. j., accumulated quite
little fortune at bleaching wax few

tain the same size as the Toulouse. The
question of size could soon be remedied
by careful breeding. but the geese re-
quired for the early markets can be best
supplied by birds of this variety, as they
grow more rapidly. There can be no
doubt, however, that for the later mar
kets in this country the Toulouse will be
able 10 hold its own. for size is then of
great importance. The largest birds,
however, have seldom the finest flavor.
Nature seems to hold balance in all
things. for when she gives excess of size
she seldom gives with it the same quality,
and a we'll fed Emblem is a juicy and ten
der fowl, with the highest OF quality.
Specimens of this breed do not often at
tain more than nineteen or twenty
pounds, but at times heavier birds have
been found.
In color the true Embden is of a pure
white, with pinky, flesh colored bill,
orange colored legs and feet, and blue
eye. The egg is usually white, and the
young for the first period of their exist
ence are yellow in down.

favor w. one. which. by failure caused
bv an ,ufavorablc season, may occasion
a loss nat few farmers are able to bear.
One Of h. reasons usually assigned by

tku1. altl. ,uCh not a money making one,

as much money as one may do In favor

the end he is quite hk ely to show as

corn is by far the most trustworthy, and
while we may have seaso rs in which the
crop NAV prove Improbable, its adapt
ability to all soils and climates makes it
one that no farmer, either eorth or south,
can afford to omit.
Nowhere haze the advantages of diver
sified farming been better demonstrated
than in the south There, as heretofore,
cotton will continue to be the money
crop; but it has been learned that sue
cessful cotton crop means one whose
avails are not to be used up in paying for
plantation supplies purchased while it
was being produced. Again, in both
north and south. a new species of farm
ing, of which the old time agriculturists
knew little or nothing, has come into
vogue. and truck farming. as it is called,
often Yields profits that so far exceed
those of the staple crops as IN many dis
tricts to cause most OF the latter to be
abandoned for market gardening. In
deed, it may be said that the methods of
farming successfully have changed 50
much within a few years rs to almost
make it Il diiierent occupation, and the
man who persists in farming the same
way his father did twenty years ago has
good reasons for saying the business does
not pay, says the agricultural editor of

Although the gray or Toulouse goose
may be regarded as the more popular
and probably on account of size the most
profitable, it has formidable rival in the
white or Embdcn variety, which is very
fine in quality, but does not attain to the
same size.
Stephen Bcale, high authority in mat
ters pertaining to poultry, explains in
Country Gentleman that the Emblem
takes its name from the Hanoverian
town whence it was many years since
imported.
All white plumaged geese, according
to Mr.. Beale, come under the denomina-
ton Of Embden, except the Irish, which
are not so designated. White geese
have one decided advantage over the
gray, namely-their feathers are of
much moro value. AS this is an impor-
tant point, their breeding should be en-
couraged, even though they do not at
