German-AmerIcan League.

TOPEKA, Kan, June 6.-The German
American league of Kansas is holding
its annual convention in Topeka. There
are about 200 delegates in attendance.
The principal address of yesterday was
delivered by Oscar Bischoff, of Topeka.
He explained that the object of the
organization, which is composed of
German-American citizens of the state,
was not to inspire or contend for polit-
zeal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT upon the line of
nationalities as some sophistical pro-
hibitionist aim to construe it, nor was
its purpose to inculcate into the loyal
German heart the venom of socialism
or anarchisIn, but rather peaceable
one. Resolutions were adopted oppos-
ing woman suffrage.

Report OF the State Board OF AEriculturs
Shows = Bad Condition.
TOPEKA, Kan, June 6--The Kansas
state board of agriculture yesterday
issued its report for the month ending
May 81 1t is substantially as follows:
The month OF Nay in some respects was for
the state a. whole. especially to wheat and
oats, quite unfavorable, chiefly from frosts and
lack Of general and soaking rains While the
frosts appeared with about the same
severity in all the counties. It scarcely

would be severely injured While its
adjacent nelghbor would scarcely suggest there
having been frost The principal damage
was supposed to have been done to potatoes
and cora. but both have by their steady growth
and vigor since demonstrated that not a hun
dredth part of the destruction feared actually
resulted from freezing.
The one considerable crop that has suffered
from prevailing conditions since the last re-
port is winter wheat Statements Of its condi-
tons show it worse than one month before

ability that S5 or even IS per cent is not too

but poor prospect before that, now have
practically none. Scarcely fraction
OF the total damage by chinch bugs reported
as doing some mischief in various localities, 1t
being accounted for by dry weather, yet In
great numbers Of counties where this was IN
doutedly the case other crops, such as corn and
ing and are reported upon very faverably IN
deed. while their planting and cultivation have
gone forward uninterruptedly, AMI the weeds
are in the most thorough subsection ever known
at the time of year.
Eighty of the los counties report the prenent
stand of winter wheat in worse condition
than one month ago; twenty-five counties re-
port it about the same or better During the
last three or four days OF May there were heavy
rains in many places, but not general in char
acter, and in most instances too late to benefit,
much of the debilitated wheat. For
reasons stated in the foregoing the limited area
Of spring wheat, which is confined to the
northern counties, offers little prospect Of any
considerable yield.
The conditions as to oats are almost identical
with those OF spring wheat. The stand is scat
tering, the plants feeble and wieh tendency
to premature and very short heading
A good stand, good growth, promising con-
dition and unusual freedom from weeds is the
burden OF the information with reference to
corn Here and there slight or temporary In

and In the aggregate amounting to little
Tremendously increased areas have during the
month been planted to corn, in q soil not wet,
but sufficiently moist to insure prompt germi-
nation and continuous growth
In spite of considerable damage by frost, po-
tatoes are generally promising fairly well, and
are free from weeds.
Frost damaged fruit OF all kinds, more or
less, but to no such extent as was at first feared.

CHAPTER XXI.
FLIGHT AND PURSUIT.


In these concluding chapters of my
narrative. many details must be omit
ted. The stress and suspense of the
situation at which we have now ar
rived in it's progress are acting upon
me somewhat as the real scenes of
thirty years ago affected me, and 1
must go rapidly forward to the close.
1t may therefore be said that the skill
and management of LIE Fevre, with the
friendly aid of the house servants, put
in successful operation the initiative
of the plan of escape that he had de-
vised. A little after midnight Coralie
and 1 were in carriage that had been
brought by a roundabout plantation
road some distance above the house.
LIE Fevre took the reins, and drove
rapidly toward Donaldsonville.
He had judged rightly as to what the
occupation of Conrad Bostock and his
boon companions was likely to be on
this night. a good account of their
roysterings, and of the manner in
which CoraIie's fight was discovered,
was afterward furnished to me by one
of the negro women who listened in
trepidation at the parlor door, anxious
for some hint as to what was to be-
come of herself and ''the people" of
the plantation. The negroes had heard
the rumor that the ''new NAUSEA in
tended to sell them all, and let the
plantation to some one who could
stock it; and Bess was endeavoring to
secure early information of his real
designs.
The new proprietor had discovered
the repository of the wine, and a dozen
dusty bottles had been brought up.
When sufficient of their contents had
been drunk to make the party merry,
cards were produced, and gambling
commenced. There seemed to be plenty
of money among them, and the game
was continued with varying success
till midnight, when Conrad was largely
the winner.
The bottle had circulated freely, and
the depraved men were ready for any
thing that would yield new excite
ment.
''Two thousand dollars against that
girlF' Gardette shouted.
ssDoner' said Bostock.
I The cards were dealt. and the others

are the men who have accumulated
fortunes by fleeing the people while
congress, by its laws and executive
forces, has held their victims still.
These bloated frogs in the protective
pond are croaking to scare the little
frogs The greater the scare the more
to the liking of the big ones. To na
small extent they are successful
Thousands of the little ones are afraid
to invest and extend production. The
result is that hundreds of millions of
money which would otherwise be in
active use, employing labor and pro-
viding things that are wanted by con-
sumers, lie idle in bank and safety
vaults, and industry and trade are ham
pered and hindered in every direction
The country is suffering vastly more
from the strike of the protectees than
it is from the strikes of the coal
miners and coke workers.
What do substantial business men
who have no direct interest in tariff
legislation think of this destructive
and anarchistic strike of tariff-made
millionaires? These business men
know how it is. They are men of SUI

abundant evidence that recovery from
the effects of the panic is purposely
hindered for effect upon legislation
Assurediy they cannot feel disposed to
support the senators from their re-
spective states in prolonging this de-
structive strike of the mill bosses and
mine bosses.
Is it not about time for them to adj
dress a few strong words to their SEN
ators to the effect that it is time for
senatorial fiibusters to declare off,
their sympathetic strike in aid of the
striking captains of industry?' Do
they not think so themselves? Do they
not think they have lost about enough
by the stagnation of trade due to the
strike of money bags for more plumber?
If they do, they may be expected to
make their influence felt speedily

advance. Six tons OF green canaigre
will make one ton of tannic acid,
worth over 500, and this can be man.
ufactured at cost of about SO per
ton, thus making the green canaigre
roots worth SIS per ton.
The commercial value of canaigre
appears to be established beyond all
question, although it is only during
the past five years that this plant has
actually attracted public attention as
a commercial product.
The first shipment of this root in its
green state was made TO Glasgow,
Scotland, in 1887, and, after trial, 1t
was stated that one firm there MAR
tin & Miller could use 10000 tons a
year in its sliced and dried state. In
1891 and 1892 the shipments of the
canaigre root assumed considerable
proportions, between 500 and 500 car
loads found their way to market from
Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.
1t is to be hoped that now, as the
main product of the country silver
is only worth 80 cents an ounce those,
employed in the agriculture of the
country will add one more item to
the expectations, as it seems as though
the market for the canaigre crop is
practically unlimited, and the bust
ness would never be overdone.

Paper Telegraph Poles.

One of the latest uses to which pa
per has been turned has been the max
ing of telegraph poles, says the New
York Advertiser. The paper pulp en-
ployed is saturated with a mixture of
borax, tallow and other substances.
The mass is cast in mold with a cone
in the center, forming hollow rod of
any desired length, the cross-pieces
being held by wooden keys driven in
on either side of the pole. The paper
poles are said to be lighter and stronger
than those of wood and to be unaffect-
ed by the mary weather influences
which shorten the life of a wooden
pole. Its doubtful, however, whether
the paper pole will come to be any,
thing like a rival to the iron pole,
which is now in high favor for the
carrying of all kinds of wire lines.
The value OF iron telegraph poles has
been well tested under the most try
ing conditions on the lines between
Europe and India, and again across
arid stretches of country in Australia.
Insects that eat out the core of every
thing in the shape of wood, leaving
the she'll only, and bird borers that
drill holes in the toughest of trees, let
the iron poles pass, and even wander

There must be an air of romance
about the Charleston. Just before
that ship left San Francisco one of
the sailors received a call from a
Vallejo girl, and was married to
her on the ship. The same kind of
an occurrence, the only difference
being that the nuptials took place
on shore, happened last evening.
The groom is named Ford, and
he is in the engine-room of the
white cruiser. 1t is said that the
couple only met on Tuesday, but
that it was a case of love at first
sight, and they resolved to marry
at once. The young lady went on
board the ship yesterday afternoon,
but the powers that be would not
allow the wedding to take place
there. However, Ford was allowed
leave of absence until 10 o'clock
last evening. He and his fiancee
came ashore and were married.
The honeymoon was necessarily
short one, as the cruiser sails at s
o'clock this morning for China and
Korea, and will tear two loving
hearts asunder.

Consul at Mexico, the Bureau of
Agriculture has received the fol-
lowing article on the new and
wonderful tanning plant Canaigre.
This article will interest those who
are thinking of experimenting with
the plant; and this Bureau will be
glad to procure supply of the
roots for any person for trial
planting. The cost is one cent per
pound in New Mexico. Several
tons of the roots have been ordered
for persons in different parts of the
islands. These roots are expected
to arrive in three or four weeks,
when the exact cost of landing the
roots in Honolulu will be ascer-
tanned.
