The inventor has taken a guitar and has

THE FARMERS KLONDIKE.
AgricuIturists Will Gain Over Four
Hundred Million DOIIars.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Assistant Sec
rotary Brigham, of the Agricultural De-
partment expresses the opinion that the
American farmers this year will receive in
the aggregate from four to five hundred
million dollars in excess of that received
last year for their crops. This" he says,
means much to the farmers. They have
learned in the season of hard times,
through which they have passed, to econo-
mize where they could and to be careful
in buying. They will use this money they
receive for their crops to pay off their
debts, cancel mortgages and in making i'm
prOVementS on their farms and the farm
buildings. This seems like vast sum, but
statistics sustain the claim
Colonel Brigham also predicts that the
increase in the price of farm products will
benefit the laboring men. The price of
price of farm products, and for some time
the farmer was forced to pay as much for
the services Of those who did this work as
ever, while his receipts were cut in two.
Inasmuch as wages did not decline / see
no reason why they should be expected to
rise to correspond with the advance of
farm products, which are now bringing on
ly fai prices. Still the laboring element
will be benefited by this advance in prices.
The farmer will discharge his Indebtedness
and make Improvement which will require
labor He will purchase more of the prod
ucts of labor putting a vast amount of
money in circulation and this will create a
demand for labor in all lines, and men who
have been without employment or only par
tial employment will work full time at fair
wages. -

ANDERSON, Ind, Aug. 27.-An impure
compound of tartaric acid used in lemonade
and sold to people who attended the Bar
mum & Bailey circus to-day seriously
poisoned at least fifty people in this city,
and reports from suburbs and country to-
night make the total number of victims
two hundred. The acid was used to supply
the absence of lemons, being common
substitute in all circus lemonade for that
purpose, with heretofore safe results A
half hour after having drunk the concoc-
ton people in all sections of the big tent
began to get deathly sick, to vomit and
later in some cases to bleed at the nose.
They had to be hurried out and taken
home. Mr. Bailey called physicians and had
the cases quickly diagnosed and gave all re-
lief possible. AT midnight many are out
OF danger, but there are many others still
very seriously ill. Coroner Sells had rumOrs
of three deaths in the country, and it is
feared that some cases in the country and
in the suburbs where proper attention was
lacking very serious
City Health Officer Ur. Fairfield has be-
gun an investigation for the city and has
secured some of the acid. He has not made
an analysis yet, but from the taste he
thinks it has been adulterated The base
he declares, however, is tartarc acid. Ar
rests may be made later. The tartafic acid
had just been purchased from an Indiana
druggist. 1t was in pound package, which
was labeled and had never been opened
since coming from the laboratory and if
the fault lies in it it will be traced to the
wholesale chemists. The show people are
much disturbed. They have never had
similar experience. though they have used
the dc1Q twenty years.

A CONVENIENT ERROR.
How Township Trustee Cult Ofice
Nearly $4,000 Ahead.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENSBURG, Ind, Aug. 27.-The report
in circulation that j. w. Burney, formerly
Democratic trustee of Clay township, was
short $1,000 when he turned his office over
to his successor, o. B. Trmble, created con-
siderable surprise, and an investigation
shows that in 1891 he obtained from the
County Commissioners permission to Dor
row $4,000 with which to erect a school
house at Burney, and this money was bor-
rowed of the Third National Bank in this
city. Clay township is Democratic, and
o. B. Trimbe, Republican, promised the
people If elected he would pay off the town
ship Indebtedness in three years and not in
crease the levy, the levy for the special fund
being 20 cents on the 500, which has been
kept UP by Trimble. He found that this
levy more than paid current expenses in the
two years just past, discharged an indebt-
edness of $1,000 and gave surplus of $500
This so astonished him that an investigation
was made of his predecessors report,
showing that in 1892 Burney had failed to
credit the special fund with the $1,000 bor-
rowed. and that he had paid out of that
fund 1900 more than he received, and that
this levy was made to meet this overdraft
Burney, when notified of the fact, claimed
that 1t was due to an error in bookkeeping.
His son kept his books, and his private and
trust funds at the bank were mixed up so
that when he turned over his office to Trus-
tee Trimble he reported the special fund
overdraWin only $3.50. Had he credited the
fund with the $1,000 borrowed this fund
would have been OVerdraWn something over
81 800. which, with interest, now amounts
to 2S26.60. Mr.. Burney, as soon the
error was discovered, took steps to make it
good. Trustee Trimble claims that he can
reduce taxation in this township II cents
this next year, which, on $1,20O,0O0 worth
of property, will amount TO a nice sum.

ATTACKED BY WOMEN.
I Foreigners Driven Away with Clubs
in the Hands of Strikers Wives.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 27.-The first attempt
to start any of the coal mines in this dis
trict was made at the Champion mines of
Robbins & Co. near Mcdonald. Pa, on the
Panhandle Railroad, this morning. Two
carloads of foreigners gathered up from
about Pittsburg were sent to the Cham
pion mines about daylight and put to work
loading slack into cars. The miners heard
of the arrival of the new men, and five
hundred women marched on the mine. The
new men were attacked with stones and
clubs and driven from the cars. The women
followed them up and the foreigners, with
out resisting, fled to Noblestown. The
women then returned to Mcdonald and
dumped the slack that had been loaded from
the cars They were met by one thousand
strikers, and, headed by a band marched
are now encamped. watching for the return
of the nonunion miners. The company say
they are determined TO load the slack, and
a conflict is expected if the new men are
brought back 10 the mine.
For the first time since Monday the strik-
ing miners encamped about the De Armitt
mines resumed marching. About o'clock
this morning two hundred campers lined up
and started to visit the miners houses at
Centor, Unity and GAINESVILLE When the
crossroads were reached the marchers en-
countered twenty deputies, but no attempt
was made to stop the men. Chief Deputy
Young stated that there would be no inter-
ference with marchers pending the decision
or the court in the case of the three men
now under arrest for contempt. The
marchers then proceeded on their way and
were successful in persuading three foreign
ers to strike.

YIELD OVEREsTIMATED.
Farmers VIII Not Have as Much
Mheat for Sale as Expected.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-The Corn Belt, pa
per issued by the Chicago, Burlington d
Quincy Railroad Company, will publish to-
morrow it's September crop report, which
contains the following: THE actual facts,
so far as Nebraska is concerned warrant
the assertion that the heretofore estimated
wheat product of 40,000,000 bushels for the
State is, if anything. too high. The aver
age of l. 1853 reports received shows a yield
of 2221 bushels per acre. A conservative
estimate based on the information we have
received places the probable acreage at
,554 42S. Our estimates on other yields are:
Corn, 300, 0O00 600 bushels; oats, 80, O00CO rye,
20 coo, 900; hay, 5000 GOO TONS potatoes, H.
1888, 900 bushels. The estimated yield of corn
per acre in Iowa averages thirtyfive
bushels. Half of the crop 1t is estimated
will be fed to cattle, hogs and sheep. The
average yield per acre for barley is twenty
bushels of rye seventeen bushels, oats
twenty-four bushels. Only eight out of over
one hundred reports say the quality of the
grain is poor
ranges from fair to good. The harvest will
be earlier than in Nebraska or Iowa. Re
ports from titUy-etght correspondents 1ndl-
cate an average in yield OF thirty-SeVen
bushels per acre, 70 per cent. of which it is
estimated will be fed. The winter wheat
yield averages fifteen bushels per acre, and
the spring wheat eighteen bushels, rye
nineteen bushels and oats twenty-seven
bushels
made in reply to the question whether
farmers generally are holding or selling
their wheat and oats. Each report received
applies to the entire body OF farmers in the
market district, and the reports covering
Nebraska Iowa Missouri and Kansas show
that 272 are holding and 252 selling wheat,
and 27S are holding and 81 selling oats. This
showing should be modified by the state
ment that nearly every correspondent who
reported the farmer as selling his wheat or
oats qualified it with such a note as Part
of it, Only a little Enough to pay eX-
penses or debts, etc. The reports received
from Nebraska show that the increased
winter wheat acreage in that State would
be: Eastern, 45 per cent; central 80 per
cent; western, 100 per cent. From the hun
dreds of reports received not one estimate
was for a decreased acreage for winter
wheat next year, and only twenty reports
placed the probable acreage the same as
this wear"

LITTLE WHITE SLAVE.
English Girl Alleged to Have Been
Treated Harshly in California.

MADEIRA, Cal, Aug. 27.-About four
years ago there came to this country from
Rock Ferry, England Mr. and Mrs. Ed
ward A. Tubbs. With them came a little
girl, daughter Of one of their English neigh
bors. named Emma Davis. The Tubbs pur-
chased one of the finest vineyards in the
country. Since the Tubbs took possession
of this property little Emma Davis has, it
is charged, been practically enslaved. She
has scarcely been allowed to go off the
premises, and has beer compelled to work
in the vineyard by the side of men hired
off the public highways, and has received no
education, The British consul has inter-
ested himself in the matter at the request
Of the Marquis of Salisbury, and the sheriff
the Tubbs place for the girl, but found she
had been spirited away: She is supposed to
her to-day and send her back to England.
