was located, came to him and said that
he had been taken in by a bogus bill.
He said he thought he could point out
q suspicious character. Pinkerton fol.
lowed the man whom the saddler indi.
Gated. The cooper-detective was dis.
guised as a workman and succeeded in
shadowing the man he had has eye on
without exciting his suspicious. At
last he traced him to an island in Fox
River, and there a complete establish.
ment for making counterfeit money
was discovered. The entire gang was
arrested and Pinkerton became famous
throughout the country.
1t was seen that the cooper had the
making of a detective and he was ap-
pointed deputy sheriff Of the county.
In this capacity he soon became the ter
ror of cattle thieves, counterfeiters and
rendered a position as deputy sheriff
of Cook County, but he did not remain
long in this capacity, for the Illinois
Central and Rock Island Railroad,
recognizing his ability as a detective,
prevailed upon him to organize a de-
tective agency for the protection of the
road against train robbers.
1t was in the capture of express
thieves and bank robbers shat PinkertOn
achieved his most remarkable success
es. Beginning with the Maroney rob-
berry in 1858, where after months Of
persistent shadOwing. he recovered
nearly $4,000 for the Adams Express
Company, he conducted the work in
scores Of similar cases and was usually
successful. He captured the notorious
Carbondale bank robbers, recovering
$4,000. Then came the great robbery
of the Adams Express Company on the
New York and New Haven Railroad.
Jan. g., 1866. when Il gang Of six
thieves burst open the safe and secured
nearly 100000. Allan Pinkerton Sc
cured the conviction of the guilty men,
and got back all but a very small por-
ton of the money. The following year
he succeeded in breaking up the for
midable Reno and Anderson gang, who
had for years been the terror Of the
West, plundering towns, robbing
stores and blowing open safes with
apparent impunity. SO greatly was
public Indignation aroused against
these desperadoes that after their ar
rest they were taken from the jail III
New Albany, Ind, by 100 masked men
and hanged.
In his whole life Allan Pinkert0n
never touched cards. made a BET,
or INDUCED in any form of gambling.
lie was fond of driving and horseback
riding. and in his later years t0ok
much pleasure and spent much OF HIS
spare time in literary work. In all he
produced seventeen books of his thrill
ing experience aS Il detective. Al the
age of 66 years he died of cancer OIL
the stomach.

Rev. Jacob kieSSeil and Two daughters

fatal results TO Mi, kiSseil. They were

true that they could NOT legally be nat

a very lucky thing for the country.

The state Refuses to Let Go.

The receivers of the First NatiOnal,Bank
OF Redteld and the Gettysburg State Bank,
accompanied by their attorneys, Vice
President Fitch of the North western
Mortgage and Trust Company, and W. w.
Taylor, have been attempting for several
pays to come to some kind of an agree
ment in regard to some of the lands turned
in by Taylor in settlement with the state.
They are not giving out much, but it is
known they did not accomplish their pur-
pose. Just what they expected to do they
do not dlvulge, but it is suspected that
they were attempting to get some of the
property loose that it might be used as
proceeds of the I;edfeld Bank. To do this
they would first have to secure a release of
the attachment the state has filed on the
property in question, and to have the re-
ceiver of the Gettysburg Bank dismissed,
or have him agree t. voluntarily turn over
to the Redfield Bank the securities he holds
as receiver of the Gettysburg Bank. The
Attorney General evidently could not see
any object to be attained by the state re-
leasing an attachment which made the
state perfectly safe, and neither did the re-
ceiyer of the Gettysburg Bank care to let
go his hold on the property in his possess
sion, and what at least on the surface
looks like a plan to get some of the prop
erty now held by the state for the creditors
Of the Redtield Bank failed to go through
and the state yet holds last all it has Sc
cured.

South Dakota Crops,

S. W. Glenn, of the United States
Weather Bureau at Huron, summarizes
crop conditions in fOrty-three South Da-
kota counties, as follows:
The temperature during the week aver
aged slightly below the normal for the
state, but the days were mostly warm
while the nights were comparatively cool.
The amount of rainfall was considerably
below the normal over most of the south
east and extreme western counties, but
considerably above the normal over the
east central and some of the east northern
counties. The following amounts are re-
ported from portions of the several coun-
ties named: Beadle, 2.13 inches; Brule,
50; Clay, l.; Clark, LAO: Day, 80; Ed
munds, 1.50; Grant, 100; Hamlin, l.2O;
Hughes, 1.67: Jerauld, II; Kingsbury, $50;
Lake. LES; Moody, 1.02; Miner, LOS; Rob-
erts. $50; Sphinx. .75; Sully, LOS.
The amount of sunshine was about the
normal.
The rains were very beneficial to all
late crops, especially to corn and potatoes,
as they were more or less in need of moist
ure over much of the sections visited by
the heaviest rains.
Corn continues backward on general
average, but in some localities is up to the
normal stage Ol advancement lOI lIc tlHic
in the season. 1t is in good condition in
many localities, while in others only fair,
but it is thought that recent rains will pro-
mote continued rapid growth and develop
ment. AS indicated in the last bulletin
it is farther advanced in The southern
counties, but a number of localities in that
section needs more rain, as the kernel is in
the milk stage. Corn is caring in the
northern counties.
Harvesting of small grain is nearly com
pleted in the most northern and %threshing
is general in the southern counties. The
grain has been secured under favorable
weather conditions throughout the state.
Considerable flax has been cut and much
of it is in head and ripening. Reports
continue to indicate that the condition of
this crop is very uneven and averages not
very good, although there are localities
where it is very promising.
Pastures and grass crops have brighten
ed since the rains, and it is thought that
where the heaviest rains fell more hay will
be secured thar was expected.
Potatoes have also improved. There are
many localities where this crop promises
well, while in others it is doubtful and
there are few tubors to the hill.
Millet appears to have improved gener-
ally and especially over the rain districts.

gustine Washington. who was known
as Captain Washington, becoming
the owner of one-sixth of the furnace
property in consideration of the
transfer of his land to the company.
Tho Principe company had other
iron enterprises in Maryland
Captain Washington visited Eng
land in 1929 and 1870, chiefly in re-
lation to the management of Acco-
keek furnace. Returning to Vir-
ginia in May, 1870, he wrote to his
English partners ON the 10th day of
July that on his arrival he found to
his great grief that his wife was
dead. There is an autograph letter
in the custody of the Maryland His
torical society written at London on
Oct. ?, 1870 by John Wightwick, one
of the English stockholders in the
Principe company, and addressed to
John England, the company's gen
eral agent in Maryland and Virginia,
which preserves the above facts, and
which also severely criticises Captain
Washington for neglecting in his let
ter of July 10 to inform his English
associates whether or not he would
stick to certain bargain he had
made with them concerning the
management of the furnace.
We have been unable to discover
whether Captain Washington kept
his bargain to manage Accokeek fur
mace or not, but in Colonel William
Byrd's Progress of the Mines, -
written in 1892, he mentions Eng
lands iron mines, called so from the
chief manager of them, though the
land belongs to Mr. Washington. y
Two miles distant from the mines
was the furnace.
Colonel Byrd says: Mr.. Washing
ton raises the ore and carts it thither
for 20 shillings the ton of iron that
it yields. Besides Mr.. Washington
and Mr.. England there are several
other persons in England concerned
in these works" Augustine Wash.
ington retained his interest in the
Principe company to the time of his
death in 1743, and this interest he
bequeathed TO his son Lawrence.
In 1871 Augustine Washington
married for his second wife Mary
Ball, n daughter of Joseph Ball, who
resided in Lancaster county, Va,
where Mary Ball was born. Captain
Washington did not marry Mary
Ball in England, as Benson j. Los.
sing and numerous other inaccurate
writer's have stated, but after his
visit to that country, during which,
as has been shown, his first wife
died.-Iron and Steel Bulletin

Economy is a good thing and a
frugal habit is to be commended,
but like other good things it may
be carried to excess. Daniel Dancer
when he carried home the deceased
sheep and lived on mutton Tor SOW
eral weeks was happy because it
didn't cost anything; and so we sup
pose was the wealthy gentleman
who gathered up the wilted radish
off the pavement the other day and
slyly slipped it into his pocket, to
help out his supper we presume.
After all such things are matter
of taste and habit, and we don't
know that human nature has chang
ed much since Swift wrote his satire.
Some save, and some spend, and
we don't know that the man who
stints himself and family in the way
of food and drink in order to lay up
money which others will enjoy, is
of half the benefit to the community
that the laboring man is whospends
his wages as he earns them. In the
world to which we are going we
have an idea that one of the poorest
passports to good society would be
the fact that a man pinched and
saved to scrape together few dol
lars here below that he might wor-
ship it as god. Then what agony
such a man must suffer when he
has finally to leave it. He can't
take it with him, and if he did it
would melt. So his life is spent in
gathering that which profteth moth
ing. Some try TO ease their con-
science at the hour of death by
leaving money to the church, but
this is a very uncertain reparation,
and it is not at all sure that a gift
for good objects at death will atone
for a life OF petty meanness here.
