Wednesday night the president of

It is said that the autumn book trade
viii be one of the best the country has
had in many years. Some of the
publishers are already embarrassed
with advance orders. Thus the repre-
sentative of one of the largest publish
ing houses in New York said, only a
few days ago: "The present season
with US, is not merely superior to last
year or the year before that, but it is
absolutely unprecedented. We expected
that the season would prove excep-
tionally good, and made preparations
accordingly. We are publishing a
great many books and unusually large
editions, but, despite that, we cannot
begin to fill advance orders
Another thing about the prospective
Improvement in the book trade is that
the demand is going to be for books of
the best class. Nothing could be more
gratifying than this, for so far as the
public is concerned there is nothing
gratifying in the sale of trashy books.

EXPERTS DON'T AGREE.

DR.. Merrillat Persfstently Conura-
diets Dr.. Airport at Luetgert Trial.
Chicago, Oct. 4.-The expert anato-
mists for the defense in the Luetgert
case contradicted one another Saturday
in a manner that made the state serene
~ happy. Drs. L. A. Merrillat and JOS
eph Hughes, professors in two veterin-
arg colleges of Chicago, were on the
stand until IL o'clock. Both positively
identified the bone which the state
claims is human femur as the lower
part of the shaft of hogs femur. DR..
w. II. Airport, the expert for the de-
.fense,, who left the stand Friday after
two days examination. declared it was
the upper end of a hogs femur. DR..
Merrillat said Saturday he knew it was
the lower part, because the foramen
ran upward. DR.. Airport said he knew
it was the upper part because the fora
mems direction was downward. The
counsel for the defense realized the ef-
feet of such contradiction, and en-
deavored to swing DIR. Merrillat around
to Allport's opinion, but Merrillat re-
fu<e ed to be swerved. DIR. Joseph
Hughes conceded with the opinion Of
DIR. Merril1at.

SEES ARMIES OF EUROPE.

Gen. Miles Finishes His sToursOf ln.s
.spection and sails for HOSE.
London, Oct. Gen. Nelson A. Miles,,
Mrs. Miles and Aide-de-C Camp. Capt.
Maus sailed \ for the United States on
the American line steamer st. Louis
Saturday. The commander of the army
has been in. Europe since May on his
tour Of military observation and has
inspected everything Of military inter.
est from the armies of the great powers
IN field action down to balloons and
Bicycles" Az he remarked. He has
looked over fortified tons. barracks,
camps, Ordnance works of allclasses,and
in the intervals Of this work has writ
ten three reports to the government,
covering different features Of European
militarism. After his returnshe will
with the assistance of Capt. Maus, pre-
pare another and more comprehensive
report IN which will be embodied
recommendations for the improvement
Of the United States army. -.
To the question as to whether the
United States, under its present mill
tary policy, wouldsbe able to cope with
"a European power, Gen. Miles replied:
'In any population 1t is estimated one
man out Of five is capable Of bearing
arms. That would give US an army Of H.
100000 Our people are strong physically
and generally intelligent and well informed,
besides that each citizen is a sovereign and
personally interested in the welfare Of his
government and serves voluntarily with
out being forced into service by a military
despotism. We have many thousands Of
men still living who have seen more war,
participated in more battles than any man
in Europe. But 1t is another thing to
equip an army with modern appliances for
@the defense OF a coast where we would
! have .tosuse high power guns and modern
sprojectiles. which 1T takes years to-; con-
Fstruct. while small arms Sare not to be
made in few days or weeks. Modern
rifles are different from the squirrel guns
with which our revolutionary fathers
went to war. The range Of modern arms
IS very great and projectiles weigh 100
pounds to ton Of steel. The rapidity Of
the rapid-fire machine gun, the Maxim
and Calling, Is 40 to 600 shots minute.
Although these are American inventions.
they are largely used in the European
service"

THE GRAIN CROPS.
Latest Estimate Of Yield of When
Corn and Oats

Latest Estimate Of Yield of Wheat.
Corn and Oats,
Chicago, Oct. 4.-Orange Judd Farm
er, in it's final estimate of the years
wheat crop, says that figures based on
actual threshing5 returns indicate a to-
tai yield of 589,000,o00 bushels, of which
373, $40, 900 bushels is winter and 49,
100000 bushels spring wheat. With the
exception of Illinois and Missouri the
winter wheat yield represents the full
capacity of the soil. The spring wheat
yield in Minnesota and the Dakotas has
proven a disappointment, the aggregate
being only 129,000,000 bushels. The
shortage there is in a measure counter
balanced by the good yield in Nebraska,
Oregon and Washington. The report
says the corn crop is exceedingly disap-
pointing. At the outside estimate it is
about 1, ESQ, 900, 900 bushels. The drought
during the past two months reduced
the average condition from 1928 a
month ago, to 1879 on October 1. The
average oats yield of 1871 bushels per
acre suggests crop of s14, 200, 900 bush
els, 100, 100000 more than last year.

1t is curious that this present year
should record the diamond jubilee of
telegraphy, and, at the same time, bring
Independence the possibilities of
wireless telegraphy. On July 10, 1887,
Cook and Wheatstone's first patent for
electric telegraphs was signed by Will
liam Nv. The Pail Mall Gazette states
that on July of that year the first
telegraph wire was laid. The circuit
was between the Euston and Camden
railway stations, under the permanent
way of the London & Northwestern
railway. The line consisted of five
wires, each wire laid in separate grooves
cut out of long blocks of wood.
