Developments in the Philadelphia de-
falcation have involved several banks
and bank officials and still further reve-
lations are promised. Several of the
strongest banks have gone TO the wall,
looted by their officers. who are now in
prison or fugitives from justice. The
story of their stealings is almost beyond
the bounds of the actual. as we have
been led 10 look upon human criminalitv.
Bank inspectors say it surpasses all their
previous experiences. The treasurer of
the city, being interested in the failing
banks. had deposited aud used largely of
the city funds. which had gotten them
into the clutches of the law. The short
age in the accounts Is something like a
million. The desire TO get rich. quicker
than the rules of honesty wall allow,
should receive a backset by these rules.

Military titles obtained by service in
the late war are good things to have:
they carry with them something of eclat
and possess the bearer with a sort of
carte blanche wheresoever. But the real
heroes, the fellow who did the actual
fighting and picket duty and performed
all the service of the plain soldier in the
ranks is not left out IN the estimation of
intelligent and patriotic citizens and pub
lie officials who appreciate true merit.
Instances of such manifestations in acts
are not as numerous as could he desired
but they are not lacking in any COM
munity. The private soldier has occu-
pied and adorned many of the highest
and most responsible civil stations in the
republic.

PERPETU AL HARVEST,

The editor of the Kansas City Gazette
who, as the Atchison Patriot declares,
knows more about farming than Horace
Greeley, says that harvest is in progress
somewhere in the world the whole year
round. Excepting November and De-
cember, there is not month in which
wheat and other grains are not being
harvested. In December and January
the harvest of Chill, the Argentine Re
public, of parts of Australia and New
Guinea, is being gathered. In February
and March, the wheat harvest of the
East Indies is cut, while in May comes
the harvest of Texas, Japan, China. Tur-
key, Asia Minor, Tunis, Algiers Moroc-
co and Egypt. June is the harvest
month of California, Spain, Portugal,
South Italy, Sicily and Greece, while in
July the reapers are at work in France,
Austria, the Central United States and
the Black Sea departments of Russia. In
August, the harvester travels further
north and the crop of Germany, Eng
land, Belgium, Holland. Central Russia,
the Northern States of this country and
of parts of Canada is gathered, while
September finds the cleaners at work in
Scotland, North Canada, South Sweden
and Norway and North Central Russia.
In October and the first days of Novem-
Der the last of the grain is harvested in
the extreme northern fields of Russia
and Norway,

TO SOUTH KANSAS FARMERS:

We are now on the eve Of the move
ment of the new wheat crop, which is
probably the best ever grown in the
west Everybody is interested largely
with the producer in securing it in the
best possible condition for the market.
Wheat, properly stacked after harvest
and allowed to go through the natural
curing process, Els much more merchant
able than when threshed and shipped to
market directly after cutting.
The advise of exporting firms at
Chicago, st. Louis and the seaboard is
universally to tie effect that it will be
to the interest Of all concerned that
wheat be stacked, as, if threshed from
the shock, it will undoubtedly sell at a
heavy discount under old wheat, as it
will not be in export condition.
AS the European crops this season are
short, they will look to us for the next
four to six months for their supplies.
On account of SO much moisture preced
ing harvest, the wheat will not be sufi-
GENTLY cured or dried until it has goue
through the sweat and been stacked for
a time.
We believe there are localities, without
doubt, where great deal of new wheat
will be forced upon the market as soon
as it can be cut and threshed, but we are
DESTROYS of checking any rapid or heavy
movement to market of this character.
Beyond doubt, new wheat will not grade
as contract in leading consumptive cen
tiers, and in all probability, off grades Of
the new produce will be sacrificed or
sold at a big discount because marketed
in poor condition.

The tenth census enumeration, as far
as the compilations have been completed,
show an alarming state Of case as to the
future growth in numbers of our native
population. According to the showing
so far made there was a decrease in
births during the decade from 1880 to
1890 of about 100000. Unless this
shall be proven incorrect by full and
complete footings, it will present a
problem for social economists to ponder
over for some time.

ALFALFA AND KANSAS

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Alfalfa is destined to revolutionize
farming in Kansas, because it will pro-
duce three tons of feed for stock where
one is now grown. 1t is just adapted to
our climate and when the prairies are
seeded to alfalfa they remain ever after
a permanent pasture for all ages Of
horses, cattle sheep or growing
them to perfection without the aid of
other crops. A field of alfalfa COM
mences to grow two months before our
native grass. and continues two months
later making a good pasture of eight
months instead of four as at present,
with eight months to feed, reversing the
order so as to give us two-thirds of the
year for pasture and only one-third for
winter feeding, | believe it will even
tually be the leading crop grown in
Kansas, because it will be the easiest
grown and the most valuable.
When cut and cured for
hay it retains its superior
fine quality which is relished by the
stock in feeding. 1t produces three
times as much feed to the acre as our
native grass, and twice as much as
clover. May Is 1 examined field of
alfalfa which measured over twenty
inches in height and would cut over two
tons of hay to the acre. A fine field of
red clover near by averaged little over
twelve inches and would cut about ton
to the acre. The prairie grass averaged
less than three inches and would not cut
over 100 to 200 pounds to the acre. SO
you see what we lose in growing native
grass; but the day is not far distant
when we will pillow up all our prairies
and SOW them to alfalfa. So that Kan
sas is destined soon to grow out of her
rich soil in her dry sunshine, find lux
uriant Alfalfa producing the cheapest,
healthiest and richest meat in the world,
for which we ought to give thanks, for
alfalfa will give us more than blue
grass gives to Kentucky; more than
to Illinois, more than clover to
because we have a better
climate to receive it, and, l venture the
prediction that within five years alfalfa
will double the value of every acre of
land In Kansas. II. E. BIDWELL.

AN ODD EXPERIENCE.

A queer incident befell a Connecticut
man last week. William Brown, of
Danielsonville, has a voluminous mouth,
and when he yawns he is sight as well
as a caution. He yawned extraordinar-
! lily day or two ago, threw his jawbone
machinery out of cog, and when he at
tempted to close his face it wouldn't
work. His mouth remained wide open,
with jaws set. He rushed out of the
house and met a friend, whom he essayed
to apprise of the mis- ;hance that had
Overtaken him, but the neighbor, who
was startled to see man bearing down
on him with his mouth wide open, but
who was speeches., except for strange
clicking sound, was slow to recognize
his friend and the meaning of his phe-
nomenal appearance. But after while
the cause of the trouble was apparent to
him and he ran and fetched a ply
stefan. The doctor seized Browns
jaws with both hands, bobbed the lat
ter's head backward and forward three
times, there was another click, and

snap. He had been fifteen minutes with
bis mouth wide open and naturally was
hilariously thankful to the doctor. He
shook his hands enthusiastically, and
said no man who had never been there
could fancy the dreadful fix he had been
in. a little presence of mind and a very
slight effort on the part of the victim
could have relieved himself of the dis
tressing situation in moment. All he
need to have done was to place the ball
of his two thumbs in his mouth well
back against the ends of the dislocated
jaw bone and press backward and down
ward. This will force the jaw back into
position, and it requires no great phys-
col nLTnrt or ain "a Ia -

The courage displayed by the Ohio
Republicans in iudorsing the Mckinley
bill and refusing any sort OF compromise
or concession on that point is admirable,
but whether or not it was the discreet
thing TO do remains to be demonstrated.
But the party appears to be thoroughly
organized and harmonious and has its
strongest leaders in the lead, while the
very reverse conditions exist in the OPP
position ranks.

The ingenuity of American inventors
has discovered new explosive which
will probably supersede all others in
warfare. 1t is called Americanite-a
patriotic name. 1t is manufactured in
Virginia. 1t is said that it is not affected
materially by changes in temperature,
nor by exposure to the atmosphere. 1t
can be exploded by a gunpowder fuse,
and can be detonaled without the use of
illuminate. 1t has more energy than
dynamite, and unlike that compound,
can be handled with absolute safety.
This is probably only beginning of the
improvement which will be made in ex-
ploSives for the purpose of destructive
warfare. 1t would seem that warfare
has become so dangerous already that
the time of standing armies viii be but
short-lived. When warfare becomes so
dangerous as to involve the entire de
struction of the great cities and the COM
merce of a country in a few weeks, dis
putes VIII be settled without war and
standing armies viii become a thing of
the past.

Parnelps Coming Marriage.

From a London Letter.
Intense curiosity prevails as to when
Parnell proposes TO marry Mrs. O'Shea.
Rumors continue to circulate that he
will not marry her at all. The fact is
that troublesome legal difficulties at first
cropped up. When these were settled
Parnell found that the local clergymen
had objections to raise also. Though
these are believed to be frivolous and
only dictated by political animus on
the part of the clergymen, it has taken
some time to have them set aside. An
appeal has been sent to the Archbis hop
of Canterbury. Many delays must be
overcome before that appeal can be
decided. 1t is expected. however, that
the wedding will take place next week.
When married Parnell intends to live
the larger part of each year at his an
cestral home in the county Wicklow.
