CELso CAESAR MORENO is at pres
ent gaining notoriety in Washing
ton by a libel suit resulting from
remarks made concerning the Ital-
ian ambassador. The indictment
recites that Moreno "being a person
of evil and wicked, and of most
malicious disposition did continue
wickedIy and unlawfully, to bring
Ambassador Fava into public scan
dal, etc." Moreno, who is making
a living as interpreter in the police
court, says he is the victim of the
intrigues of Italian Ministry.

Mr.. HenriCksen, one OF the
members Of the executive COM
mittee who called the State
Democratic convention at
Springfield in the early
part of June for the
purpose of defining the
position of the Illinois Demo-
Gratis on the silver question,
saw this convention prove a
dismal failure, dismal even
more that was predicted be
fore the convention convened.
Instead of its being a repre-
sentative gathering of the Dem
ocrats of Illinois, it proved to
be a body of professional poll
ticians and their familiar and
necessary hangers on. Gov
ernor Altgeld (the anarchist
Governor) and ex-Congress-
man Bryon were among the
prominent speakers.
The most notable feature of
the convention was the extreme
bitterness of the attacks on
Grover Cleveland and his
coterie of followers for their
stand on the silver question and
the enthusiasm of the conven-
ton itself in applauding those
attacks.
The people are Thoroughly
aroused and determined to
have a bona hdc bimetalism.
They are looking to the Re-
publican party for the states
manship that shall rise to the
height of the requirements.
They do not intend to be
cajoled by empty promises
honeyed over with fine words.
"a burned child fears the fire."
The next candidate for pre-
sidential honors will ne
cessarily have to come
out flat footed on on
this much mooted question,
and when he has voiced his
sentiments it will remain with
the people to decide which
of the candidates they wish to
represent them, and which one
of the two metals, or both, shall
be the basis of commodity.
In the midst of all the talk and
arguments for or against bimet-
alism there is one metal being
used very extensively that very
little is known about outside of
manufacturers.
The Maunesmann Steel
Tubing is a comparatively new
arrival on the market. Being
extremely hard, but at the
same time light and flexible
steel, the various manufac-
turers of first class, high grade
bicycles are using it exclusive
ly in the construction Of the
frames, claiming it far superior
in durability to any metal pre-
viously used.
Each frame is put together
with a jig which mechanically
trues it, and every frame is
therefore perfectly accurate.
The frame of the Monarch
is built for appearance and
SPEED. It's lines are graceful
and beautiful; they are also
speedy and comfortable.
The Monarch frame is the
ideal frame and goes a long
way towards making the Mon
ARCH WHEEL the ideal bicycle.

Raising of the Tuber.
WASHINGTON, July2 The statistics
of the agricultural department has
been gathering on the acreage and
condition of the potato crop have been
completed and show that there has
been a steady increase in the acreage
since 1892. and that the increase this
year over 1894 is per cent, only seven
states showing decrease. Minnesota
increases its acreage by one-third and
Florida, Iowa, North and South Dakota
by one-fourth, while large increase
is shown in Maine, Nebraska, Rhode
Island, Vermont, Arkansas, Maryland
and Oregon. The general condition Of
the crop is o. per cent on basis of
100 per cent MS an ordinary crop. The
general condition is decreased by low
percentages from important producing
states such as Illinois, where the con-
dition is only 81 per cent, Indiana TO-.
Ohio IA and Michigan 81. The cause
was drouth and later frost. The con-
dition is reported low also in the
Virginias, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Kentucky. On the upper Miss

the Missouri the reports are above
normal; similarly in Arkansas ard
Texas. A large yield on a largely in
creased acreage is reported in Florida.

Northern Train.
DIES MONIES, July 20. Engineer
Harry Riggs, of the south-bound pas
senger on the High Bridge route, was
mortified on approaching High Bridge,
with loaded passenger train behind
his swiftly moving engine, to see u
large block of wood on the rails in
front of him, occupying such a position
that If the train struck it the coaches
would certainly be derniled He did
some of the quickest work of his life
just at that moment and stopped the
train before it had reached the block,
The block was brought to Dcs Moines
and left ut the depot. 1t is of solid
oak. 1t is twelve inches long and six
wide on each of its sides. In one end
is.a sawed notch large enough to form
rest for the block inside the rail
against a railroad tie, so that it could
not be pushed ont OF the way by the
train that struck it. Unless it could
be driven into the ground the engine
ut least WAS sure to be derailed The
authorities will not talk concerning
the matter. II is believed, however,
that the block was put on the rails for
the purpose of wrecking the train.
The train, leaving the track, wonld
have dashed down the full depth of the
ravinc crossed by the bridge

Annual Report Of the state Auditor on
Their Condition.
DIES MONIES, July 26. The auditor Of
state has completed that part of his
annual report which has to do with
the condition of the state and savings
banks, for the year ending June 20,
1895. One Of the remarkable things
shown is that there has not been n
single failure of a state or savings bank
in the state in the past two years,
although tho country hasgo through
one of the most depressing periods in
its history Three examiners have
been constantly at work in the field,
and quarterly statements have been
required from each bank There has
not been a temporary suspension in
any of the banks belonging to these
two classes. The report is also
remarkable for theincrease of business
for the year Just closed, over the
preceding year. The deposits have
increased over ST, Son,o0o in this time.
From june 80, 1898, to June 80, 1894,
the deposits decreased Sl63, $3.50. This
may, in part, be assigned TO the crisis
coming on in 1898. Its significant as
showing the return of public con-
iidence. People have demonstrated
their faith IN the banks by returning
their money to the vaults The net
increase for the year is SITS, Ia1.96;
the net increase for the year ending
June 80. 1921, was only S4l6.4si.21
The statement shows the banks have
loaned out closer to their limit than
for several wears.

and rust In Wheat.
GRAND FoRKEs, N. d., July "a. Tho
farmers of the wheat region of Min
nesota and North Dakota, comprising
7 the ten counties of the Red River val
ley, are gloomy over the prospects. A
week ago their wheat promised the
greatest yield ever known in this sec
ton, some placing it as high as forty
bushels an acre, but 1T has rained four
days the last week and the weather
has been uniformly cloudy and hot and
smut and rust have developed to an
alarming degree, This region ex-
pected to raise 100000 bushels of
wheat. 1t is now feared that thous-
ands OF acres are utterly ruined. At
Larimore, N. D., there was quite a
scare when it became known that the
wheat In this vicinity was damaged by
smut. The discovery was made by
the Elk Valley Farming Company,
which has the largest acreage OF any
one farm in this country. At st.
Thomas, n. D., the greatest excitement
prevails because Of the discovery Of
smut in the wheat crop. Several
parties who were out all day examin-
ing the wheat fields in that vicinity go
SO far as to say that what wheat they
examined contained 30 per cent Of
smut. At st. Vincent, Mimi, heavy
rains have been falling for the last
forth-eight hours and there are no
prospects of its stopping. All grain is
fat on the ground and in most cases
will never rise, owing to the rank
heavy growth. Rust and smut are
seen in every field.
