that the amount Of padup insurance which given the dis

CANA-AGRIA CRUMBS.
Facts Of Moment Relative to a Won
derful New Mexico Product.

Bernard D. Thorner, the father of
tanning with cana-agra, is the patentas
of many processes for tanning with this
plant, and has planted about 1000 acres
of it near Eddy. He has largely operated
in the tanning plant (rumex hymeno-
spales) and in the interest thereof has
Travelled all over New Mexico, Arizona,
Texas and California. He is now expert
mepting with plan for reducing the
tanning contained in the plant to solid
extract by ways of electricity as a feltef
of a chemical process.
"There is large and established market
for cana-agria in Europe" remarked Mr..
Thorner, "and on trials made by tanners
it has proved 70 be far superior to any
tanning material yet known, as it tans
much faster, and gives better consis-
tency to the leather, as well as keeping
the leather very pliable for many years.
"Cana-agria will yield very good pay
ing crop, and after cultivating the land
few years it will yield as much as $3.50
clear profit per acre. The market value
per ton green, is So, or dried and sliced
$S5, F. o. B., in Liverpool. 1t takes three
tons green to make one ton dry, in which
state it contains about 30 per cent real
tannlc acid. Red sandy soils are best
adapted for its growth and under irriga-
tion will mature in one year, without in
two years."
On this subject also the Eddy Argus
says: G. Cuenod has sent in to the i'm
migration Office cana-agria plant of this
years growth, containing three roots,
the largest of which is ten and one-half
inches long and weighs fifteen ounces.
Mr.. Cuenod has eight acres of cana-agria,
all of which has made fine growth. =
X X
Prof. Gulley, of the Arizona experiment
station at Tucson, Arizona, again visited
the Pecos valley this week. He is
an authority upon cana-agria growing
and believes it is to be the tanning agent
of the future. He has made many ox-
periments and demonstrated that culti-
vation by irrigation in the Pecos valley
will be profitable. Bulletins issued by
him ON the ject of cana-agria are very
instructive. Prof. Guiley says that there
is littls doubt that the Almours are GO
ing to establish extensive tanneries in
Chicago and elsewhere to take care of
their hides. They are not in the gigantic
leather trust, which includes the tanner
les and is said to have captured all the
known supply of tannin in this country
and Mexico. If the Armours propose to
60 into the business they may have to
adopt cana-agria.

A Disastrous Rlaze.

New FonK, June 14.--Fire yesterday in
a six-story sweat-shop, where 300 men
and women were employed, caused the
death of five people and the serious in
jury of large number. The fire-escapes
wore found to be not one-tenth large
enough. When the fire broke out q
panic ensued. The poor wretches fought
for places to get on the escapes, and the
weaker went down. Some jumped from
the upper stories to the sidewalk and
were instantly killed or fatally injured.
The entire building was gutted an hour
after the fire started.

The Call ifornia Bandits Captured.

V1sAL1A, CAL, June IA. - After the
capture of the noted bandit Sontag, who
was wounded in the battle at Dluubia, his
partner, Evans, took refuge in the house
of Mrs. Perkins. Deputy us. Marshal
Hall with large posse went after him.
On secret information from Mrs. Perkins
son he was traced to his hiding place and
arrested. The reward of $22,50O standing
for the capture of these outlaws will there
fore be probably divided among the
members of the capturing posse. This
will end the criminal career of these out
laws.

THE ARMY.
The Long. Expected shake-up OF De-
paFtment Lines soon to Come.

WASHINGTON, June l4.-The eight mill
tary departments of the United States are
about to undergo some important changes.
The order assigning Gen. Carlin to the de-
partment of the Columbia has for this
reason been revoked and he will be given
another station for the brief period he
has to serve on the active list.
1t is understood that Gen. Schofeld, in
the project he ls preparing, contemplates
the re-estabhshment of at least two or
three division commands which were
abolished by ex-Secretary Proctor. The
project, it is believed, calls for a division
Of the east, with Major Gen. Howard in
command, and division of the west, with
Major Gen. Miles in command, the geo.
graphical limits being changed in such a
way as to bring the third, commanded by
q brigadier gencfal, under tbs command
Of each Of the two division commanders.
No change will probably be made in the
headq uarters Of Generals Howard and
Miles. They will be at New York and
Chicago respectively, but will have their
commands enlarged by the additional
jurisdiction over their six military de-
pRrtments.
Gen. Miles, if the plan "a anticipated
is carried out will have his responsibility
lar ely increased, as all the big western
military departments, including the Pa-
cific slope, would come under his jurisdic-
tion. Changes in some Of the department
headquarters may also be made. That of
the department. of Arizona is almost GER
tain to be transferred from Los Angeles,
to Fort Logan, Colo.
The changes will probably not take Of
feet until early autumn, but will be an
nounced at an early date, to allow those
concerned an opportunity to prepare for
a change of base.

OMAHA, June 14.--The state bank ex-
aminer has closed the doors of the McCa-
que Savings bank. No statement of the
banks condition has yet been issued and
it is impossible to estimate the assets and
liabilities. john L. McCague, vice presi-
dent Of the suspended bank, said that the
suspension was due solely to an inability
to realize on securities. He fixed the
liabilities at 100000 and estimated the
assets of the bank at from $460,OO0 to
&475,00O. He stated positively that the
depositors would be paid in full.
The American National bank was closed
by an order of the comptroller of the cur
rency yesterday. Runs started on the
Globe Loan & Trust company, the Dime
Savings bank, the German Savings bank
and the Nebraska Savings bank. No
statement of the condition of the Amer
lean National was made at once, except
the fact that the clearing house refused to
assist it. 1t is understood that its affairs
are entangled with those of the McCague
Savings bank.
The run was of extensive proportions
on the Omaha Savings bank, and all the
morning the bank was besieged by de-
positors. Senator Manderson and Vice
President Kimball, of the Union Pacific,
directors of the bank, made speeches to
the excited depositors, guaranteeing them
their money, but the run continued.
Salt Lake, Utah.-The Park City bank
has suspended, assigning to E. Kimball.
Liabilities, $l3O,00O; assets as much, and
the claim is made that it will shortly re-
sumo. The assignee says depositors are
to be paid 80 cents on the dollar.
Kansas Clty.-The Peoples Guarantee
Savings bank has made an assignment for
the benefit of its creditors. The liabilities
are supposed to be about $4,000 and the
assets between $4,000 and $65,O00.
