All We're Convicted.

Dupree. Craig, Elton and Hough were
convicted Of counterfeiting in the United
States Court at Grand Rapids and re-
manded for sentence. The case has been
on trial for the past two weeks. and as
it was regarded in secret service circles
as a very important one, the outcome is
hailed with great satisfaction by Federal
officials. The conviction Of these four men
rounds up gang which had been opera
ting for the past two years and which
circulated thousands of dollars worth of
50 bills, printed from a plate made by
Dcpree. A letter was received from Mol
lie Yost, who is at present in Indiana. in
which she states that she was under the
delusion that her testimony would aid
Craig, her lover. in proving an alibi,
whereas it had an opposite effect. 1t is
believed that Craig may obtain new
trial on the strength of Miss Yost's I'D
missions.

Farm Notes.


Keep the very best of the hay for the
work teams.
A bad disposition is a poor recon-
mendation in horse.
With all growing stock increase the
feed as the animal requires it.
Hogs will keep healthier if too many
are not kept together.
The careful farmer can always breed
a better quality of beast than he car
buy.
The object of mulching during tn,
summer is to maintain moisture in tn,
soil.
Good wheat bran is a good flesh grow
err and milk making material to feed Il
stock.
More horses are injured by hard driv
ing on an empty stomach than In any
other way.
BY not allowing the weeds to grow
there will be no necessity for killing
them later ON.
Be on the lookout for the white cater
pillar. They are the parent of the cab
bage worm.
Have everything In readiness so tina
the harvesting can be done as soon a,
the crops are fully ready.
AS a general rule the earlier varietie.
Of grain, fruits or vegetables are not u.
productive as the later ones.
The Oftener the grass is cut the great

Fireproof Paper.

Fireproof paper for writing and
printing purposes is now manufactured
in Berlin by new patented process.
Ninety-five parts of asbestos fiber Of
the best quality are washed in a solu-
ton of permanganate Of calcium, then
treated with sulphuric acid as bleach
ing agent. Five parts of wood pulp,
as used In paper factories, are added,
and the whole is placed in the agitat-
ing box with an addition Of lime water
and borate of soda. After being thor
oughly mixed, the material is pumped
into the regulating box and allowed to
flow out of the gate on an endless wire
cloth, where it enters the usual paper
making machinery. 1t is easy to apply
water marks to this paper, which ordi-
narily has SIN, 9TH surface, which can
be satin finished for writing purposes.
Paper thus produced is said to resist
even the direct influence Of flame and
remains uninjured, though subjected to
n white heat.

a descendant of the old Puritan stock.
He was educated at Dartmouth, stud.

the best work of his life to its practice.
AS a lawyer he was pre-eminent. He

Powerful Explosive Is Lowered and
Forces Ont a Torrent Of Oil.
Among the impressive oil region spec
tacles the shooting of an oil well al
ways takes front rank. The well that
is to be shot has been drilled to the Oil
producing strata Of sand rock, and
there the oily fluid is held in the pores
of the rocky formation. In some In
stances the gas pressure is sufficient to
blow the oil into the hole drilled in the
rock, and no other means Is required to
get the oil to the top Of the ground.
This is only in exceptional cases. The
general way Is to lower long torpedo
so as to pass inside of the casing, down
to the bottom of the hole. The torpedo
Is tin can Of probably 10 feet in
length. Inside the can the space is
filed with nitro-glycerine. A percus-
sion cap on the top of the can is so ar
ranged that the dropping of a weight or
goodwill causes the device to explode.

The bill which the 'Pingree forces
fought the hardest in the Legislature was
the Merriam bill, increasing the specific
tax rates paid by railroad companies, and
the last act of the Governor before ad-

be extended until the bill could be per-
fected, he having been advised by the law
faculty of the Michigan University that
there Is grave question as to it's con-

the same time keeping off injurious in

to which doubtless It's power to repel
injurious insects is due. Some ammonia
in the water makes 1t much more effec-
tive as a fertilizer. The SCOT is pure
carbon, and has considerable power to
absorb ammonia, which it will give out
only as the roots of plants surround the
carbon thus charged and absorb 1t.

po,,t Overwork the BOYS.

Farmers are sometimes very inconsid-
crate In the treatment Of their sons.
Without meaning any harm they i'm
pose labor upon boys which should be
the work of men. Now, the physical
energies of a growing boy have already
an important work allotted to them,
that of building up strong, healthy
organization. The vital force cannot
be exerted In making muscles and bone
and at the same time be expended in a
hard days work in the corn field. We
have seen many instances Of boys be-
ing stunted and dwarfed, because they
were overworked by an inconsidcrate
father. When work Is crowding In the
fields there is strong temptation to util-
lie every muscle; the willing boy Is i'm
pressed into service to provide means
for the growing hogs, Mt the expense of
his own growing body. This is all
wrong. A farmer would not for an In
slant think Of Harvesting his 6-months.

why should not the growing boy have

for II while it looked as if the town would
be destroyed, as the fire engine had been

The following are the losses: ID. Il. Har-

ers. $500; Mrs. Ole Smith, 500; l..
Harrington, 800; John T. McCurdy,
$500. The contents of the buildings were
mostly saved, but damaged. Fourteen ho-
hos were arrested, on whom were found
seven revolvers, dynamite, nitro-glycer-
inc. fuses and everything for cracking
safes. 1t is believed they intended TO loot
the town during the fire.
