JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, July 21.-The

Matthias Oft was intoxicated the first
day of the trial, and afterwards ex-
pressed himself as entertaining the be-
lief that Mr.. holland was guilty.
In all, thirteen afidavits were sub

TOPEKA, Kan, July 19-Chancellor
E. II. Snow and Prof. L. Z. Popener,
commissioned to look into the grass
hopper scare in eastern Colorado and
western Kansas, have finished the
work and from Arriba, Col, sent addi-
tional reports. They say:
The survey of the area infested by
the loDg-winged locusts has been COM
pleted and shows that the district COW
ers an irregular section of the northern
part of Lincoln county, containing
about 800 square miles. Within
this area the two favorite
grasses of the range, gramal and
buffalo, have been eaten to the
ground Even here, however, other
vegetation is practically untouched, not
excepting the numerous fields of young
in luxuriant growth The only injury
to any field crop which has come to our
knowledge is the destruction of a twelve
acre field of fodder sugar cane, or
sorghum, only four inches in height.
We have repeatedly seen the locusts
passing through cornfields in swarms
without infiicting the slightest injury.
In several cases potato vines reported
to us as being eaten by these locusts
were found upon examination to
have been destroyed by the Colorado
beetle, and we have seen no evidence
that these locusts will eat the leaves of
potato plants. If it were possible,
which we do not believe, that these
swarms could invade Kansas our farm

crops Of the state. Reports agree that

KEYSTONE INQUIRY.
The Alleged Wanamaker Stock Of
tie Keystone Bank.
EVIDENCE FAVORS HIS STATEMENT.
Confederation by Letters Produced BY the
Lucas Estats-The Collateral Held
BY the Girard Trust
Company.

PHILADELPHIA, July 21.-The council
committee that is inquiring into the af-
fairs of ex-City Treasurer John Bards-
ley and the wrecked keystone bank
held meeting yesterday afternoon in
select council chamber. The report of
the committee of experts was presented.
This report has already been published.
Committeeman Hicks offered reso-
luton that another meeting of the COM
mittee be held on Thursday and that
the presidents and cashiers of the banks
that are alleged to have paid interest to
Barlsley on deposits of city and state
funds be subpenaed. The resolution
also requests that the editors of
the newspapers that are alleged t0
have paid 40 per cent rebate for state
advertising and Auditor-General Nc
Cammant, who is alleged to have re-
ceived a portion of the said rebate from
Bardsley, be also subpenaed.
The next witness was Samuel B.
Huey, counsel for the estate of John C.
Lucas, late president of the keystone
bank. He produced letters that cor
roborated Postmaster-General Wana-
makers statement of his connection
with the loan of $40, 600, which the lat
ter obtained from the Girard Trust Co.
for Lucas use, the collateral furnished
being 1000 shares of Keystone stock,
which had been charged on the check
book stubs to Mr.. Wanamaker. Mr..
Hicks resolution above referred to was
laid aside till later
Mr.. Huey said he questioned Marsh
as to the manner in which the over
issue occurred, and the latter replied
that ''the certificates were all genuine
in that they had been regularly taken
from the certificate book and signed by
the officers of the bank, but that when
stock which had been sold was brought
in for transfer and new certificates is
sued, the old certificates were not al
ways cancelled, but were sometimes
thrown into a drawer and used again if
occasion required, and that this doubt
less was the way in which these certifi-
Gates held by Mr.. Wanamaker had been
used"
''Of course" he added, "Mr. Wana-
maker knew nothing of this, and there
was nothing on the certificates to indi-
cate any irregularity."
Mr.. Huey spoke of the efforts on be-
half of the Lucas estate to redeem
these certificates, and said that if a set
tlement had been made soon after Mr..
Lucas death SIS, 600 would have placed
them in the hands of Mr.. Lucas, but as
time went on and the losses on the
railroad stock increased, the
Indebtedness of the Lucas estate to
Mr.. Wanamaker likewise increased.

THE BRIGHT SIDE,

II you should look at the bright side,
And should look at the dark,
Tho you were as poor as little church mouse
And owned horse and carriage and house.
You'd be richer than 1, for mark:
You'd be happy with simple pleasures,
While 1 was counting my woes,
Moody and sour and all forlorn,
Blind 10 beauty and finding thorn
Where you were finding a rose.
There'd be never q Gleam OF sunshine
But you would enjoy its light,
While should watch with an anxious gaze
For clouds TO rise on the clearest days,
In sky serene and bright
When troubled by cares and vexatious
That fall 10 the happiest lot,
I'd frown and fret, but you would beguile
The weary hours with a cheerful smile,
Till trials were all forgot.
Yes II you had not a possession,
And had the wealth Of a king
You'd be richer than 1 with your blessed sight
That could always behold the side that is
bright
No matter what life might bring.

The young actor, who bade fair to

highly upon the patience of an admir-

overlook his drunkenness and carou-

The world turned to find new voice.
God is ever raising up new wOrkmen

so grand the better sense of the world
resolves to prefer and adopt the new
instead of the old which has become

And so / look on women who counted

WHO ARE THE HAPPIEsTq
According to One Authority People Whose
Lives Are Devoted to Science.

Lives Are Devoted to Science.
The earl of Derby answered this
question recently in an address to the
Scientific and chronological school of
Liverpool, an institution of which he
was one of the founders. lie said:
Having known men of many pro-
fessions, should say that the happiest
lives arc those which have been de-
voted to science. Every step is in
teresting, and the success of those who
do succeed is lasting.
''What general, what orator, what
statesman, what man of letters can
hope to leave a memory like that Of
Darwin? An invalid in health, a man
VIII seldom stirred from home, a man
until his later years very little known
to the outer world, but who from his
quiet study revolutionized the thought
of Europe and will be remembered as
long as Newton and Bacon.
IF fame be ever worth working for
Il do not say it is-that kind of fame
is surely the most durable and the
most desirable of all"
These words are true of the disinter-
ested men of science. We have never
had in this county men more uniform
ly cheerful and good-tempered than
Franklin, RittenhOuse and jefferson,
who spent most of the leisure of their
lives in the pursuit of knowledge; and
Prof. Agassiz was noted for the buoy
ancy of his spirits in every company
where he felt at home. But we can
say something similar of every person
who has pursuit suited TO his talents
and circumstances.
The happy people are they who have
an occupation which they love, apart
from any advantage i may bring
them, one that they can pursue with
generous ardor. 1t is the element of
disinterestedness that cheers their
lives, whether they are engaged in
ordinary os extraordinary vocations;
and this is the reason why earnest stu
dents have such a keen enjoyment Of
existence.-Chicago Herald

THE GRAIN CROPSA
The London Times shows That High Prices
May Rule.


LONDON, July 2L-The Times sum-
marizes the harvest prospects of the
old world as follows:
In Russia there is a grave deficit; the
peasantry are starving and there is
small hope of relief.
In India there is serious anxiety.
Madras, Rajputana and the Punjab are
the worst of sufferers There is
drought in Bengal and the need of more
rain is urgent. Bombay alone promises
a good harvest.
The American harvest will be good,
but with the failure of the Indian and
Russian supplies it is important that
the English shall not be short. The
prospect of wheat is good. In the
chief wheat counties, Essex, Norfolk
and Suffolk, the crop is above the av-
erage and in other counties up to the
average.
The harvest will be late and prices
will be high. There is, therefore, a
good outlook for the English farmer to
break the long series of disastrous

How you strained your arms to show me all the
goods upon your shelf;
Bow you begged me to allow you TO array me

How you gazed with admiration when before

Think Of when you used to greet me with
smile Of welcome sweet;
How you held your doorway open for my pas
sage to the street;
Think Of all your kind attentions and of how
you trembled, too
When you fearing to offend me, sent your bill
long after due.
o, you stOny-hearted tailor! Can you think Of
all that's passed
AL the friendship and affection. and respect
too good to last!
Can you think Of how I suffer in last years
suit that's frayed
And refuse to make another-till my small ac-
count is paid?
Hast thou not a feeling for me when you know
that every day
To avoid your shop travel, travel miles be-
Sond my wayi
Hast thou pot touch OF pity when I'm with
maiden sweet
And discern your awful presence coming, COM

Sometime, maybe, will pay you-n you'll
only wait till then
But at present I am busted Give me credit
