AGRICULTURAL SCHOOLS.
'Mr. Secretary" said I, "you have been
connected with the Iowa agricultural college
Are such colleges doing very much gOod?'
Yes, indeed, they are, was the reply.
They are making better farmers. The sue
cessful farmer of the future is to be the edu-
Gated farmer. My boys went to the agrcu-
tural college, and they are now on farms and
are doing well. You see what | think of
farming by the fact that l trained my boys

life work..
DO you consider farm lands good invest
ment, Mr. Secretary"
Yes, l believe that they will rise in value.
We have a vast population. 1t is steadily
growing. The world will always need food
and we have some OF the best food lands on
the globe. The Mississippi basin alone could
feed 100, ,000 600, and this IS only q small part
Of our good soil. We are already the great
est manufacturing nation of the globe and
our mineral resources are such that we will
ultimately have an enormous manufacturing
population, and the supplying of food for this
will create a great demand for farm products
and land will grow more valuable as the
country fills up
SMALL FARMS VERSUS LARGE.
Are the farms Of the future to be small

They will probably become smaller as
the population grows"

the farmers Of Germany do?"
No, l think not" replied Secretary Will

some other motive power to carry the far

kets. Rapid transit will bring the farmers

THE PROBLEM
Of TeIegraphing From Railway Trains
Has Been Solved.
Every Train VIII Be In Constant Communal
cation With the Next Station Ahead or
When Desired With the Dispatcher
or Any Public Telegraph Station.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-The most difficult
problem of railroad Operation-how to
communicate by telegraph with NOV
ing train anywhere on the Hne-has
been solved by young Chicago invent
or. Edison, who has been experiment.
ing with induction currents, has been
fairly beaten on his own chosen
ground.
George V. TrOtt, a former telegraph
operator, has devised a system which
will shortly be put in operation on the
Pennsylvania line by which every train
on the line is in constant cOmmunica-
ton with the station next ahead and,
when desired, with the train dispatch
er or any public telegraph station.
Briefly, every train on road equip
ped with the Trott system, would at
all times be on a 'loop" circuit, ex-
tending to the next telegraph station
ahead, and to send messages farther or
receive them from other stations, the
operator at the proper station would
only have to ''cut in" by means of a
lack spring" on one of the regular
telegraph wires.
Mr.. Trott's device is exclusively me-
chanical 1t involves no new or un-
tried principles, and will require no
more power to operate it then the or
binary duplex cell battery at the reg
ular telegraph station.
The device which railway engineers
declare will revolutionize railway SER
vice is an adaptation of the street rail
way trolley or third rail of the elevated
railways.
Two insulated metallic tracks are
laid between and parallel to the trac-
ton rails. They are not connected
and at intervals equal in length to the
circuit it is desired to establish are
discontinuous and separated by a
non-conducting cushion. A trolley
mechanism, consisting of three pairs
of wheels, connected in multi
pie by "knuckle" joints and hinged to
the footboard of the engine, runs un-
der the tender on the inner rails. The
contact of the metallic wheels with
the metallic rails closes the circuit, as
the wheels are joined by metallac
framework. Insulated wires conduct
the current into the engine cap and by
means of the bell cord into any part of
the train, where there is an instru-
ment. Trott is a man of frail form
and poor health. He is 81 years
old Before his health failed he was
an operator in Chicago, in Boston,
where he was born, and in New York
He later worked for the Santa Fe as
local train dispatcher. He now resides
in Chicago. He recently wrote to the
Pennsylvania railway officials and was
invited to send them his plans and
specifications. Their engineers and
electricians were delighted and prom
ised to give the system a practical trial
as soon as possible.

CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 30.-President
Mckinley attended divine service Sun
day morning at EpwOrth Memorial
M. E. church, where he has pew. He
was accompanied by Mr.. James F.
Rhodes, the historian, and Mrs. Rhodes
The church was crowded to it's utmost
capacity. The president entered just
as the voluntary was being played
and in time to hear a solo sung
by DIR. Ion A. Jackson, of the
choir of the Church of the Incarnation
in New York. He gave close a@9ntion
to the sermon by Rev Ward Beecher
Pickard, and joined in the congrega-
ton at singing. At the conclusion of
the services the president shook hands
with a few ladies and gentlemen, but
went to his carriage as quickly as pos
sible and was driven to the home of
Senator Hanna.
The afternoon was passed quietly
and Sunday evening dinner party was
given by Senator Hanna. Those at the

Surprised the Cleveland People by HIN
Early Arrival From Buffalo on Board
the Comanche.
CLEVELAND, O., Aug. 2s.-President
Mckinley surprised the people OF
Cleveland by his early arrival from
Buffalo Friday morning. He became
the guest of the people of this city and
will remain such until next Wednes-
day.
The reception of the president was
not as elaborate as had been planned.
There was no presidential salute fired
by the naval reserves from the old rev.
enue cutter Andrew Johnson; the can
non of steam and sail craft Gid not
belch forth in deafening sounds in well
come of the president; banners and
flags did not futter in the breeze in
honor of his coming.
There was reason for the absence of
all this ceremony, which had been
planned on an elaborate scale. 1t was
lacking because the presidential party
arrived in Cleveland several hours
ahead of time, or rather, the time an
ticipated by those who had planned
the local reception.
The Comanche, which brought the
presidential party from Buffalo, ar
rived inside of the Cleveland harbor at
2:30 o'clock. There she lay at anchor
until z o'clock, when she steamed into
the inner harbor and made fast at the
dock of the Pennsylvania Co.
Senator Hanna was somewhat sur
prised to know that elaborate prepare
tons had been made for the reception
of the president, and said he had adj
vised against it Thursday by telegraph,
stating there was no certainty of the
hour of their arrival. He asked that
the naval reserves and the TippecanOe
club be notified of the arrival of the
Comanche and invited the newspaper
men aboard the yacht.
The presidential party was scattered
about the boat in groups of twos and
threes. President and Mrs. Mckinley
were midship looking across the muddy
Cuyahoga and conversing with Col NJ.
T. Herrick. The presidents appear
ance gave indications of perfect health.
The party repaired to Senator Han
mas residence where breakfast was
served. 1t is probable that public
reception will be held later in the day

Captured, After the Longest Chase by De-
tectives on Record.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Aug. 2S.-
The steamer Portland due from st.
Michaels has on board murderer, who
around the world. He is in irons and
under the constant watch of two Pink
ertOn detectives. The prisoner, Will
liam Smith, was pursued over the con-
tinent to Juneau, to Dyea and across
the ChilcOOt pass, over the lakes and
down the rivers to the gold fields of
KlOndike, where he was taken into
custody.
Smith was storekeeper in a small
town near Cedar Rapids, Ia, up 60
several months ago. One night the
store was burned and in the ruins were
found the charred body of a man.
Smiths relatives claimed that he was
burned to death in the fire. His life
was insured for $35, 900 and a demand
was made for the money. An
investigation led to the belief that
the body was not that of
Smith but that of a Waterman. The
theory was at once advanced that
Smith had committed murder and
burned his store in the hope that the
body would be roasted beyond recogni-
ton, and his relatives obtain the in
surance money after he had disap-
peared. Pinkerton men were put on
the trail, and after the longest chase
on record captured Smith at Dawson
July %. He was taken to st. Michael's
to await the sailing of the Portland.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Aug. 27.-The wives
and daughters of the striking miners
at Dearmits Oak Hill mines, near Tur-
tie creek, took a prominent part Thurs
day in the demonstration against the
working miners.
Early Thursday morning a dozen or
more women gathered at the camp, and
with flags and banners marched along
the roads leading toward the tipple.
On their way they met number of
miners going to the pit and they greet
ed them with yells and ;eers. They
derided the miners who were working
and ridiculed them in manner which
caused many of them to hang their
heads in shame. The women say they
will make demonstration every day
hereafter
At Bunola, the mine owners are grad
ually gaining on the strikers. Four
teen men returned to work Wednesday
and 81 Thursday. w. J. Brennan, at
torney for the miners, is preparing his
answer to the bill of the New
York and Cleveland Gas Coal Co.
in the proceedings against the
miners officials and strike leaders
for contempt of court. The bill will
declare that the camp and marching is
not for the purpose of intimidation or
menace to any one, but merely to indi-
cate to the men in the mines that
miners generally are on a strike and to
indicate their strength by show of
numbers.
Gus Date, who is in charge of the
sheriff's deputies at Plum Creek, was
told Thursday by the sheriff's attorney
that under the injunction he could not
interfere with marchers who paraded
with a band at their head. The only
ones he can stop are those who are in
timidating the workmen.
A large parade and meeting was held
at Turtle Creek Thursday night with
out molestation from the deputies.
