COLUMBIA, Mo, Sept. 25.-The weather
crop bulletin of the Missouri weather SER
vice Tor ths week ending Sept. D. says:
The mean temperature for the week was
from to degrees above the normal, eX-
cept in the southwest section, where there
was slight deficiency during the fore part
of the week. The weather was cool and a
light frost occurred in the northern sec
lions, slightly damaging tender vegeta-
tion.
The rainfall was generally sufficient.
Corn cutting is about finished and few
correspondents report the crop better than
was expected. In a number of the central
and western counties corn in shock has
been considerably damaged 10y rain and
damp weather. Flowing and seeding have
progressed favorably except in few To-
calities. Wheat sowing is about COM
pleted. The prospects are favorable for
plenty of fall pasLurage. In some locali-
ties there il complaint THAT potatoes are
rotting badly, the ground being too Wet

Loom improvements.

Some recent Improvements in looms are
10 be noted. Among them is an ingenious
method of so constructing the warp divid-
ing rods for weaving that they will not
twist and skellow, causing uneven faced
cloth to be woven, the rods being also in
sured against being cut by the warp pass
ing over them and forming narrow grooves
which break the yarn and cause defects in
the fabric. Heretofore dividing rods Of
wood have been used for separating the
warp threads, these being liable, however,
10 get out OF shape by the action of damp
atmosphere. To remedy these defects the
rods ara formed Of light metallic tubes,
supported in any convenient manner.
Such tubes. being unaffected by danpness,
are not cut by the stretched warp threads.
and on account of their hardness and
smoothness the drag on the warp thread
is reduced and the liability of brcakage
minimized--NewY York sun

THE SURFEIT CURE.
A Fathers Experience With II as n Rem
edy For the Candy Habit.

s'When / was = youngster," said Mr..
BoZzle, Il used &c wonder how the confec-
tioners could make any money. 1t always
seemed TO me that the clerks would eat so
much candy that they would eat up all the
profits. l remember reading or hearing
later that this was not so; that when a
new clerk came into the store the p-oprie-
tor would say: Now, hope yeu will cat
all the candles you want. Don't hesitate
TO help yourself at any time. and that the
result of this was that at the end OF a
week she was so sick and tired of candy
that she hated the sight OF 1t and didn' &
want any more for a year This, 1 sup
pose, might be called the surfeit cure.

ture OF a few dollars more would accom-

on. But the children's appetite for ice

OMAHA, Sept. Sept. ga special to the
Bee from Lincoln. says: Governor Croun Sc
today determined to arrange some form of
relief for the sufferers in those counties of
Nebraska where the drouth was severest.
The preliminary work was completed to-
day. The old Round commission of 1891
will be revived. Rev. l.. Z. Ludden, sec
rotary, has been authorized to begin work
and the other members of the organization
are being communicated with. The gov
ernor has not solved the problem of where
the funds for the relief are to come from,
but some of the farmers in the extreme
western counties are on the verge of starv-
alton and something must be- done at
once. Several of these counties have COM
miLtees in the east soliciting funds.

Special Dispatch to the Daily Eagle.
GUTHRIE. Sept. 25.-Every good citizen
in the territory will praise United States
Marshal Nix for the new orders he has
Just issued, which include one in regard to
The arrest of the wooG-baulers.
1t has been charged for some time that
the deputy marshals have been altogether
too Jealous in arresting poor settlers and
dragging them away from their homes,
with the sole object of piling up fees,
when the offense has been nothing more
than taking a few faggots off government
land.
Under the new orders, deputy marshais
can not arrest settlers for timber cutting
until the district attorney has been made
scouaiuted with the facts and his ap-
proyal of the warrant has been secured.
The other orders issued are as follows:
In The future. fees will not he allowed
sny deputy for an arrest wherein Inc
evidence is not sufficient to have the de-
PENDANT held to answer before the grand
jury.
Prisoners must in all cases be taken be-
fore the United States commissioner nav
ing jurisdiction nearest the place where
The crime was committed.
United States Marshal Nix says:
IL do not believe that the law intends
that man should be prosecuted for tax
ing either down or dead timber from gov
ernment land.
Before making a complaint IN timber
eases, be sure that the interests of the gov
eminent will be best subserved by the Is
suance of q warrant"

City, tickets to be on sale from Sept 2S TO
Oct 6 from Chicago, and from Oct l to
Der. for the return trip from Kansas
lily. The action was taken because the
pther western lines have not agreed to
make S4.25 rate from Chicago TO ST.
Louis and 10 confine cheap rates on ac-
count OF The St Louis fair TO a territory
within zoo miles of st. Louis. This cut is
likely TO cause lively times among the

Speciai Dispatch tothe Daily Eagle
OKLAHOMA CITY, o. f., Sept. 25.-Sam
Bartell and his posse are back from a
months chase after the Doolin gang over
In the western part OF the territory. The
party consisted of Sam and Dan Bartell.
Chas Cannon, VIM. Henry, Davy McCleery
and John Thomas They were assisted by
friendly ranchmen and Indians. They
came mp with the Doolins about twenty
five miles west of Anadardo on Old Cobb
creek where they had running fight with
the outlaws.
Bill Doolin and Bitter Greek were in the
gang, and, strange to say, though large
number of shots were exchanged. the only
one killed was the Indian guide, Ekoniska,
who received five bullets. The outlaws
escaped and the posse pursued them until
they finally lost the gang in the Wichita
mountains.
The posse on their return captured Tom
Platts who is accused of aiding and harbor-
ing the outlaws. He was taken up to
Guthrie today. Sam and his companions
had a great chase and will not forget their
adventure very soon.
