FOR THE FOURTH TIME
Robbers Dynamite the Gulf Safe at
Parsons.

Parsons. Aug. 16.-Burglars made an
other unsuccessful attempt to blow open
the safe at the Gulf depot The ma
chine shop of NJ. f. Smith, just south of
the depot, was broken into and a sledge
hammer and other tools secured, when
the robbers proceeded to the depot to
accomplish their work.
The outside door to the safe was
blown off, but the thieves were unable
to open the inner door and hence Sc
cured nothing for their trouble, except
to ruin the safe. This is the fourth

been tempered with at the hands of
thieves and the miscreants have yet

SUTRO'S MILLIONS
In Fair Way to Dwindle to Moth
ing.

San Francisco, Aug 16-The Evening
Post says that the three million dollar
estate of the late AdOlph Sutro is insol-
vent and that unless the creditors agree
being that the estate will be hopelessIy
swamped. Much of Sutro's property is
mortgaged and the interest and other
necessary expenditures are eating the
estate up very rapidly. The executors
of the estate say that if time is given
them every possible demand will be met
and that there will be a large residue
for the heirs. The attorneys for the
Sutro estate deny that there is another
will and say that Mrs. Kluge's claims
are groundless.

Washington, Aug. 16.-The president
is thinking of plans which will take him
away from Washington as soon as the
peace and military commissions have
been instructed and sent on their ways.
He has an invitation to go to the
mountains of West Virginia. and be the
guest of Senator EIkins a few days. A
partial engag cement has been made to
review the Grand Army of the Repub-

presidents brother, is counting on a
visit to his Long Branch cottage.
It is quite probable that the president

October, if there is no especial need of
his presence here, the president may go
as far west as Omaha and see the expo

WHAT JAPAN LEARNED.
Gained a Valuable Lesson From the
Spanish War.

Seattle. Wash, Aug. 16.-Rear Admiral
Matsunaga Chi of the imperial Japanese
navy arrived in this city on the steamer
Rio Jun Moru on his way to London,
where he will superintend the construction
of two cruisers and a battleship for his
government. With him were two nrSt
paymasters of the Japanese navy, Takeu-
to London. and Sfmizu Nsuke, who goes
90 San Francisco to join the Japanese
cruiser now building there.
Admiral Matsunaga was greatly sur
prised that peace was to be made and was
very much interested in the terms. When
told that the disposition of the Philippines
was to be left to a commission, he ex-
pressed much surprise that the United
States had not demanded the islands As
Porto Rico was demanded- He declined,
however to say anything as to MS or his
cOuntry's opinion on the question. He
Japan has learned many things from
the war America has been waging against
Spain. The American admiraPs fight at
Manila has taught us that a fine ironclad
and heavy guns alone would not win
battle. We pay more attention than ever
to target practice. and with that the jap
anese will become a powerful nation.
I'VE will have a fine navy if the pres
ent policy continues In this country sew
eral ships are about ready to go into COM
mission. and in England we will build
three large vessels I am going to Lon
don and will be gone three years. Dur
ing that time I will superintend the con-
built there, and at the same time study
the navies of the world.
1T will not be long until Japan will be
able to build her own warships."

SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
Which Every Farmer Should Care
fully Heed.

Here is some sound, practical
common sense from Editor Hoard, of
The Montevideo Leader: Zone good
thing about this section Of the country
is the fact that most of the real food
products of the world-the substan-
tial necessaries of life-are raised
here in greatest abundance. We've
got the soil, the climate and all the
essential conditions for making a
living, whether can make much
money or not. Perhaps the time will
come when we can raise all these
things at better profit than now or
recently. We hope SO, at least, and
in the meantime we urge our people
to study the great question how to
raise two ears of corn where they
raised one before and how to make
two blades of grass grow where one
grew before. If there are any wise
conclusions to be drawn from the ex
periences of the past few years, they
lie in the direction of better methods
and more intense farming. Not that
our farms or fields should be larger
but that the yield per acre, per field,
per horse power and per man power
should be greater. It means that we
should quit getting eighty acre re-
suits from three hundred and TWEEN
ty acre farm. It means that a bunch
of seven year old timber heal steers
are money losers. 1t means that a
COW that gives skim milk or that can
produce only hundred pounds of
butter 10 two hundred and fifty d Us
isn't worth milking. 1t means that a
hog that is built only for r cling pur-
poses isn't nth the name of 'porker.
It means that breed of hens that
cackle without laying should be pot
ted before they arrive at the age of
discretion and their posterity cut off
before they are born. Finally it
means that the average farmer can
not afford to waste even the screen
ings or the little potatoes or sour milk
or the corn stalks and straw, or the
grain and grass that grows in the
corners of fields and fences, but that
his system Of farming should contem-
plate the consuml ton Of all these on
the farm and their conversion into
