Fort Reno.

Fred Crandall, the young man who was
yesterday arrested by Officers Garrett and
Pemberton charged with deserving the
army, will probably be taken to Fort Reno,
/ T., to-day. Crandall was arrested on a
telegram from Commanding Officer Wade.

by a reporter. He said that about
three years ago his father, who lived
in Fort Worth, became dangerously sick.
He applied for furlough but il was re-
fused; then he made his escape, since
which time he had managed to elude the
officers. To the reporter he remarked that
he was ''cinched" for two years term in
the penitentiary.
Crandan has made his home since de-
sorting in various parts of the country,
but a greater part of the time has lived in
this city. He is printer by trade, but has
recently worked at the packery.
At the time he deserted at Reno, he had
served three of the four years. The capture
was effected through disclosures made by
young man who knew him in the army.

Death of Sir James Caird, the Well-KnOwn
English Agriculturist.
LONDON, Feb. 11-Sir James Caird,
X. C. b., +. r. S., the noted agricultur.
ist, is dead
ESr James Card was born at Stranaer in 1916.
and was educated at Edinburgh. In 1S49, dur
ing the protection controversy in England, he
published a treatise on High farming the
best substitute for protection" which attracted
much attention and which went rapidly through
eight editions. In the autumn of the same
year, Mr.. Card, at the request Of the late
Sir Robert Peel, visited the south of Ireland
and made an admirable speech on the condition
of the country and the means to improve it.
During 1850 and 1851 Mr.. Caird, as commission
or of the London Times, conducted an inquiry
into the state of English agriculture, and his
letters on that subject were published in
volume, which was subsequently translated
into French, German and Swedish languages,
and was republished in the United States. In
1858 he published account of a visit to the
prairies Of the Mississippi, a translation OF
which appeared on the continent of Europe.
Mr.. Card was twice elected to parlia-
ment, and in 1860 was appointed member
of the fishery board. In 1868 he became chair
man of the royal commission on the sea fishery
of the United Kingdom, Prof. Huxley and Mr..
Shaw Lefevre being his colleagues. In 1884,
Mr.. Caird, after many years perseverance,
carried resolution of the house Of commons
| in favor of the collection Of agricultural sta
| tistics and they are now published annually,
| In 1878 Mr. Card was appointed by the gov
| ernment of India to serve the commission
| to inquire into the subject of famines, and he
| was created knight commander of the Bath

Illinois Sheep Breeders.

At a meeting of the Illinois Sheer
Breeders association, held at Spring
field, resolutions were adopted favor
ing an exhibit of fat sheep at the
Worlds Columbian exhibition and re-
uuesting the managers of the exposi-
ton to offer prizes to stimulate such an
exhibit and requesting the state board
of agriculture to publish the list of the
prizes for the state exhibit of sheep at
the Worlds fair at an early date. An
other resolution was adopted declaring
that the universal rules of state and
other fairs ought to be adopted for the
state exhibits of live stock at the
Worlds fair. so far as relates to cash
prizes and expenses of exhibitors; and
that no provision should be made for
the expenses of livestock exhibitors
attending the Worlds fair by the resi-
dents of this state. Also the follow
ing:
Resolred, That the action proposed In con-
gress to reduce the tariff ON WOODEN mill
wool will be a work of great injury to the sheep
breeders of the state of Illinois, and fatally in
lure this important industry if adverse legisla-
ton is had.
Resolred, That the sheep breeders of the state
without reference to party affiliations must
earnestly protest against the repeal or modii-
cation of the present law in reference to the
duty on imported woods.

THE COTTON STATUS.

Figures Cleaned From the February Re-
port of the Department OF Agriculture
Comparisons with the Report of Same
Time Last Year. Etc.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Febru-
ary cotton report of the statistician of
the department of agriculture relates
to the proportion marketed, quality,
yield of lint, close of picking season,
losses by insects and price of seed.
The proportion sent from plantations
as estimated by reporters and accurate
ly consolidated. is as follows:
Virginia, so; North Carolina, 50; South
Carolina, 90; Georgia. 81; Florida, 90;
Alabama, 81; Mississippi SO; Louisi-
ana, 81; Texas, Sc; Arkansas Ss; Ten
nessee, So; Missouri, So. General aver
age, ss.a per cent.
Returns of comparisons with the re-
port of last year are: Virginia, 7s;
| North Carolina. 20; South Carolina, 80;
Georgia, s5; Florida, "a: Alabama, 90;
| Mississippi, 96; Louisiana, 90; Texas,
| 107; Arkansas 96; Tennessee, 91; Mis-
| souri,, etc, 80. General average 94.3
| per cent.
The returns are remarkably consistent
as their indicated results vary by less
than per cent, indicating crop about
500, 900 bales short of that of 1890. The
October reports of the two years make
an almost identical difference. These
results are submitted with comment
The estimated average time of close
of picking is by states: Virginia, De-
cember IL; North Carolina, December
10; South Carolina, December s;
Georgia, December a; Florida, Novem-
Der 90; Alabama, December. 2; Mis-
sissippi, December 10: Louisiana, De-
cember IL; Texas, December 4; Ar
kansas, December 10; Tennessee, De-
cember 12; Missouri, December Is.
The quality is the highest for many
years. Staple medium and somewhat
short; color excellent, and unusually
free from trash. The low price of cot
ton and disappointment in money re-
turns have led to large sale of seed to
oil mills at prices somewhat reduced.
as follows: Virginia, IA cents per
bushel; North Carolina, IA; South Caro-.
lima, 14.5; Georgia, 14.5; Florida, Ia
Alabama, 13; Mississippi, IL; Louisiana,
IL; Texas, II; Arkansas, II; Tennessee,
l3; Missouri, etc. IL.
On the Atlantic coast the larger use
of seed for fertilization makes rela'
lively high price. Losses from insects
were not very serious and were mainly
confined to the gulf coast states The
boil worm was nearly as destructive as
the caterpillar.

Estate-An Old Banking Swindie Re-
called.
E. R. Walker, who was president OF
the Chicago Security Loan and Savings
Co., is throwing flood of light on the
peculiar ideas of banking entertained
by some people, and the manner Ill
which Illinois officials neglect their
duties Mr. Walker was examined uri-
der oath by order of Judge Scales. lie
testified:
I'VE were organized in Crown Point Ind,
in 1886, with a capital of $751; Soon after-
ward we removed our banking business to this
city, continuing to carry on real estate ousl-
ness only in South Bend. When we came TO
Chicago ami began operations we did not reor-
ganize under the laws of Illinois, but we com
| menced doing business without charter, and
continued to do so until we assigned on Janu-
ary Is. We held but two elect ons- was
| elected president both times, and since then we
| have neglected to elect officers. There was no
need of doing so anyway, as after the hrst year
| l bought up all the stock with the exception OF
| one share
"Then you held your last election five years
| ago and neglected to hold any elections since
| than:"
| THAT is about it." returned Mr.. Walker
| frankly.
| The law requires an election each year, but
| the state officials never molested Mr. walker S

OLD BANKING swINDLE RECALLED.
At an JUNCTION sale of the assets OF
the Central national bank in Chicago
the other day one cent was bid for
notes for $4,000, signed by w. f.
Endicott fifteen years ago. The re-
ceiver of the bank, Otis S. Glover,
acted as auctioneer. The note sold for
s12. Glover disposed of nearly $780,
600 of commercial paper and other evi-
dences of Indebtedness in an hour for a
mere song. All these assets are por'
tion of what was left in the old Central
national bank after the institution was
looted by the president, w. F. Endicott
in 1878, and who fed, taking something
like $3.50, 900 of the banks money with
him. Endicott's whereabouts is un
known. Two notes given by the
president of the City Railway Co. fo1
1000 sold for $1s. A note for $4, 500 O.
Henry S. Monroe, one of Chicago
leading lawyers, sold for s5. not
for S., $50 of d. F. Keeny, the real es
tate man, sold for So. The note of w
C. Parker whom the auctioneer called
'the great mining king of Colorado,
sold for So. This ends one of the wors
bank failures in the citys history.

robbed of valise containing 81, 500 in
eurrencv, the boldness of the robbery
being worthy of the most daring high
wayman.
1t took place on one of the cars of the
Broadway line going south, the robbery
being attempted just as the car crossed
Arsenal street, which is 2400 south.
BY the bold and prompt action of Con-
ductor Maffy of the car on which the
robbery was committed the robber was
prevented from escaping with his val,
liable booty. But he was only captured
after an exciting chase and desperate
resistance, in which lie stabbed the cit
izen who attempted to arrest him.
The robbers name is George McKin-

Prof Joshua Lindahl, state geologist,
who was some time ago instructed by
the state board of Worlds fair commits
sioners to prepare collection of bi-
luminous Goals to be exhibited in the
state building at the Worlds fair finds
the funds at his disposal inadequate for
this work, and he is now sending out a
circular to all the mine owners in the
state asking their cooperation. Prof
Lindahl says in his circular:
A mere collection of samples of coal would be
of little scientific interest and contribute no
exact information as to the value of these ex-
hbts to the industries Each sample exhibited
should. therefore, be provided with printed
descriptive label, giving as complete informa-
ton as practicable concerning the mine and its
seam of coal. This label should contain
among other statements, a report from a
competent chemist of the chemical com
position of the fuel and value of the coal in
the portion of the mine which is operated al
present. The character of the coal is often quite
different in different portions of the mine. Al
analysis made some years ago does not apply te

and a new analysis should be made of sample.

the Goals that are now taken out of the mine
These samples should be collected in the MINE

mine owners pay for the analysis O

He says he has made arrangements O.
two classes of analysis one to cost s.
