RoosEvELT's BIG SURPRISE.
sa1oonkeepers May Find They Have For
feited Their Licenses.

SalOOnKeepers May FIND 1hey rave FOR
feited Their Licenses.
New York, Aug. 19.-Theodore Roose-
Welt has new excise law enforcement
bomb to explode. When he gets ready
to ignite the fuse there will be a blowing
up of saloonkeepe1s such as they have
not conceived and do not dream Of Mr..
Roosevelt's plan is at once the boldest
and most effective that has been con-
ceived by any one in the present excise
war. Mr.. Roosevelt has been playing
cunning with cunning. He was content
that the saloonkeepers who were anxious
to violate the law and who did SO should
go on in their false sense of security I'M
til he was equipped to grapple with
them. His plan is to make the saloon
keepers who violate the law pay the pen
atty with the forfeiture of their licenses.
He has already amassed tremendous
amount of evidence which, in his opin-
ion, will be all sufficient to either force
the excise board to cancel the license of
offending bar owners or to compel the
board to refuse to renew licenses.

in their Reports.

Washington, D. c.. Aug. 19-One of
the subjects that is likely to take up a
good deal of the time at the convention OF
the Letter Carriers union at Philadel-
phia next month will be the recent charges
laid against carriers in many cities by
postofice inspectors 1t is contended by
the representatives of the carriers that in
many cases the inspectors have tried to
make a record for hard work by exag-
gerating the offenses of the men whom
they spotted and by spotting for utterly
trivial offenses. Further it is said the
charges have in nearly every instance
been held up for so long that when they
were presented it was almost impossible
for the carriers to remember the circum-
stances, or to offer any defense except q
general denial

have had the case in hand were unable to

OUR LARGEST CORN CROP.
May Bring More Money Than All
other Grain Combined.

Nay Bring More Money Than All
Other Grain Combined.
CHICAGO, August "A local paper says:
The crop of corn this year will be the
| largest that has ever keen known. 1t is
estimated at the present time that the
yield will exceed by 100000, 600 bushels the
record of any previous year. This condi-
ton did not exist north ago. At that
time continued drought in nearly all the
corn states made the outlook dubious for
an average yield. but the rains came
copious. heavy continued showers, just at
the time most needed. apd today greater
prosperity hoVers over millions of homes
than for many a year.
how much depends on the corn crop Is
realized by a few. The corn crop Will
bring more money if marketed than all
other grain products combined. the esti-
mated yield of corn this year is from
2,250, ,000,CGo to 900, 600, 600 bushels At the
present price, which is % cents for De-
cember or May delivery. the crop will be
worth $3.50 000, ,ODD.
A decline of cents a bushel would mean
q difference of Sll5,DOG0O in the value OF
the crop. To emp 1asize the immensity of
this product it may be said that the state
or Iowa alone will raise enough corn this
year to supply mere than five bushels to
every man. woman and child in the United
states. Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri
ara Nebraska comprise what has been
termed the corn belt.
This section furnishes nearly If NOT anita
two-thirds of the entire corn product. So
favorable have the reports become of an
enormous crop that the managers OF the
various railroads that traverse the valleys
OF the Mississippi and Missouri are
largely making arrangements and perfect
ing their equipment for handling the crop
The force of workmen has been increased
in a number of the shops, and all rolling
stock IS being repaired and made availa Die
for use, in addition to new freight cars
that are being hurried rapidly in construc-
tion.
The government report of July stated
that~there would be an unusually large
yield of corn; but since that report was is
sued the conditions have vastly improved.
Secretary Morton has called for s.,ecial
report upon corn from all weather stations,
which will be furnished next Tuesday.
The previous greatest yield of any year
was in 1889, when the acreage was 7S.319,
G51 and the yield 2,112, S92 900 bushels.
