Conspiracy in Which ProminentDrug
gists Are Involved, Discovered.

New York, Sept. IA conspiracy tc
smuggle large quantities of phenacetine
in which several prominent druggists if
this city are said to be involved, was nip
ped today by the seizure of 400 ounces OF
the drug in a saloonkeeper's ice box in
Hoboken- Great restrictions are placed
around the Importation of the drug, and
the tariff upon it is heavy.
August Liebhauser, a saloonkeeper OF
Hoboken. was arrested and arraigned be-
fore United States Commissioner Russ
on the charge of having struggled goods
in his possession. Customs inspectors
found the package in his ice box. 1t
was worth about $3.50, they said. Lieb>
hauser refuses to say how he came in
possession of the drug. He was held in

ROADS HELP DISPENSARY.
South Carolina Lines Will Only Garry
Liquor in Cases or Casks.

Columbia, S. c., Sept 16.-Soon after
the opening of the Original package
agencies in this state under Judge ST.
nontons ruling on its interstate COM
merce features and the defining of an
original package as any package receiv-
ed for shipment by common carrier, it
was limited the railroads would decline
to handle the goods. Two weeks ago
Governor Ellebee held a long conference
with the traffic managers of the South
ern and Atlantic Coast line systems. 1t
was understood pressure of some kind
was brought to bear on the roads to save
the dispensary law, but liquor continued
to pour into the state by car loads, the
bottles packed loosely in sawdust. To-
day the Southern and Coast lines an
nounced that they would not receive such
goods for transportation hereafter. The
Southern's circular says:
Counsel having decided that spiritu-
Gus or malt liquors in bottles, when not
packed in cases casks, are not in
proper shipping condition, and that the
usual form OF release will not release the
company from liability in case of dam
age by wreckage, notice is hereby given
that on and after September 16, 1897, ship
ments of spirituous or malt liquors in
glass, loose, not packed in cases, kegs or
casks, will not be accepted by this COM
pany for transportation
The only other interstate lines are the
Southern Carolina and Georgia and the
Florida Central and Peninsular. They
have not acted. The dispensary people
are jubilant as they consider this a stag
gering blow to competition.

The greatest amount 1874 ounces, being
brought by ]. S. Watt of Milwaukee.
The smallest amount, 81 ounces, was
brought by r. w. Schrieber of Crooks

no danger of starvation.
r. w. Schrieber was in the country
less than four months. He has two

All of the Volante's passengers were

BROTHERS. AGREEMENT.
One Insured the Other, Who Promised
to Commit Suicide

Vienna, Sept. 16.-A unique case, grow
ing out of the suicide of Captain George
Lowenthal, has just terminated in the
law courts here. 1t appeared from the
evidence in the case that in 1895 Emil
Lowenthal, a brother of the captain,
agreed to furnish money to the latter,
who was a roue and gambler, on condi-
tien that he either marry the daughter
of a millionaire or commit suicide after
the expiration of two years from the
time of entering upon the agreement.
Emil then heavily insured Georges life
in various companies and had inserted
in the policies a clause declaring that
they would not be affected after two
years by the manner in which the in
sured should meet his death.
George failed in his attempts to inveigle
a rich mans daughter to marry him, and
upon the expiration of the two years he
kept the other part of his agreement and
blew out his brains with a revolver.
Then Emil applied for the payment of
the policies on his brothers life, but the
companies learned of the agreement he
had made with George and refused to pay
their losses. Later they caused his ar
rest the charge of having fraudulently
secured the reversion of some of their
day resulted in the conviction of the
cused and he was sentenced to two years
Imprisonment.

Sedalia, NO., Sept. 16.-Williarn J.

among other things:
1hoSe who have suggested the burn

enforcement of the laws than those who
toll.

ALaER's EYE ON KLoND1KE.
Will be Ready With Relief WhenSure
That it is Needed.

Washington, Sept. 16.-In response to
his telegram to Senator Perkins ask
ing whether he could take a cargo of
food supplies to St. Michael for the
relief of the miners in the Klondike
section threatened with starvation, Sec
rotary Alger received a response from
the senator saying that there are al
ready many thousands of tons of
freight unprotected at St. Michael
which cannot be moved up the Yukon
river. Therefore it would be needless
to send further supplies at present.
Secretary Alger has communicated
this information to the citizens COM
mittee at Tacoma, Wash, whence the
application for relief was made. He add
ed that there are already two army OF
ficers on their way to Circle City, for
which place they started August 9Th to
report the actual state of affairs ana
they will undoubtedly inform the war
department whether or not supplies are
required and how they can be gotten IN
to the country. AS soon as it is known
positively than an emergency exists,
Secretary Alger will take under con-
sideration the possibility of getting sup
plies in across the mountains.

A BIG WALNUT TREE.
It is 400 Years Old and is Expected
to Produce Veneer Worth Moro
Than $4,000

Rockhouse, KY, Sept. 16.-The largest
curled walnut tree known to exist in
eastern Kentucky was sold by VIII
Combs to a Cincinnati firm last week.
He received 800 for the tree.
It is 90 feet to the first limb and nearly
S feet in diameter at the butt. 1t was
sawed down close to the ground, and by
counting the rings it was found that the
tree was nearly 100 years old 1t is esti-
mated that it will cost more than $1,000
to get it across the mountains to Norton.
Va which is the nearest railroad sta
ton. 1t will have to be cut into small
pieces so it can be hauled through Pound
Gap. When manufactured into furni-
ture and veneering it is estimated that
it will be worth from $1,000 to $4,000

table plots, that are worked with thu
spade, is suggested by the accompany
ing sketch from American Gardening.
Tho main iden involved is tho turning
over of the soil and leaving it in the
toughest possible shape, just as 1t falls
from the spade with no breaking up.
This with Wow to it's laying so loose
that the cold can readily penetrate the
mass. In the engraving shows tho
soil before spading and b the same
after spading.
Tho principle on which the frost acts
favorably in improving filth is in the
rupturing Of the soil particles by expan-
sion. In the accompanying figure at Q
is represented clod of earth. The irreg-
ular dark lines are meant TO indicate
the spaces between the soil particles,
which, in wet soil, are filled with
water. AS matter of fact these spaces
are much smaller than tho engraving
seems to show. Tho action of the frost
causes to expand tho soil particles and
the water with which the earth may be
charged. The result is that tho soil par
ticles are broken and separated in some
what tho Same manner as a bottle or
jug in which water has frozen is broken.
The further result is that in proportion
as fincness of soil is moro favorable TO
seed and plant growth, so tho moro
completely tho soil is divided by repeat
ed freezings and thawings during the
timo between crops the better for tho
coming crop.
1t is noted in this connection that
one need not. as in spring tillage, wait
until the soil is quite dry before spad-
ing, for it il an advantage rather than
otherwise to work it so wet that it
leaves tho spade in unbroken clods; tho
more interstices in tho mass after it is
thrown over the better. The difference
in the following spring and summer be.
tween soil that has been fall worked as
outlined and that which hes remained
untouched until spring, is most marked.
Beds that were thus thrown up roughly
in the fall come out the following
spring mass Of earth as fine as an ash
heap. To overlook the gain that comes
from killing tho laryn Of various de-
structiyo insects by turning up. tho soil
before winter would DO mistake 1t is
known by many actual tests that they
die in large numbers by winter frees.
