by Detectives Powers and Corbett. The
tip on which the two last arrests were
made IL not known. The arresting officers
claim In mysterious manner that il was

and he had shifty eyes. They followed him
to a lodging house, and as he was about
TO ascend the stairs took him in charge
He protested innocence, but at the same
time his eyes shifted In a way that led
the police to believe they had the right
man. He is about 50 years OF age, feet s
inches in height. and OF light weight. At
headquarters he said his occupation was
real estate. A watch, stud ard $2O54 IN
cash were taken from him before he was
locked up
Officers Powers and Corbett then return

shif,y-tyed mans partner. He was also
an elderly man. He gave his occupation
as a carpenter and had on his person N4. %

DETHRoNEMENT AND DEATH.
Believed That the Chinese Emperor Has
Been Murdered.

Hongkong, Sept. Although there
is no positive information, it is gen.
orally believed here that the deposed
emperor is dead 1t is said he died
directly after he issued the edict Civ
ing the dowage the regency.
Nobody doubts that Yang and Chang
Yen Hoon, who was minister at Wash-
ngton in 1895 are both innocent of the
charge of poisoning the emperor.
Shanghai, Sept. 26.-Chang Yen
Hoon, the Cantonese enemy and rival
of Lii Hung Chang, who is charged
with harboring Kang Yu Wei, has
been arrested. He is now under trial
by the board of punishment. He will
be stripped of all of his offices and his
removal gives increased power to Ii
Hung Chang.
The officials generally welcome the
empress return to power, but the peo-
pie are different. Kang Yu Wei is
charged with conspiring against the
empress dowager and has been de-
clared an outlaw and his arrest has
been ordered
A special dispatch from Shanghai
says that Kang Yu Weis brother has
been arrested in Pelzin and condemned
to death. The dispatch also says that
Sir Claude Mcdonald, the British min
lister, gave instructions that Kang Yu
Wei should be protected from arrest.
The British consulate holds his bag
gage and documents referring to state
secrets. The Russians are incensed at
the latter fact, and it is reported that
Russia has offered the dowager en-
press the services of 10000 troops from
Port Arthur to keep order in PelSin if
necessary. 1t is said that the British
fleet in Chinese waters has been
divided between Ia Ku and Shan Hal
Kwan, under orders to intercept Rus
sian transports in the event of an at
tempt to land troops.

Drying wheat for Seed.

After every damp harvest as the
present has been in most localities, the
grain goes into the barn with its straw
not so thoroughly dried out as it
should be, says American Cultivator.
There is also considerable dampness In
the grain itself, and this will prob
ably cause heating of the grain In the
NOW. With spring grain this does not
matter much, for the grain will be
pretty sure to dry out when freezing
cold weather comes. But whenever
winter grain is grown the seed for next
harvest has to be selected from the
present years crop, and this often
means the premature threshing of the
winter grain and using it while still
damp as seed. To this fact is PROB
ably to be attributed the common be-
lief among farmers that old wheat and
rye are better for seed than new. In
the old grain the freezing of winter
and the subsequent thawing have made
the seed nearly wholly free of mois-
ture. Yet all these experiences are not
absolutely necessary. If the grain is
thoroughly dried in the fall that it is
grown, it is not only as fit but more
fit for seed than it is after being dried
out by winter freezing, wherein its
terminating powers are more apt to be
injured than they are by being thor
oughly dried out the previous fall. We
have heretofore advised the greatest
care for drying seed grain for fall SOW
ing. But it is far better, we believe,
to thoroughly dry the seed even by ar
tificial means. We have over and over
again dried seed grain in fruit evapo-
rators such as are used for drying APP
pies, and always with the best results
in large proportion grown Of the seed
that was sown. We believe that 1t
is best to dry ali grain used as seed
by the heat of fire; it may be by
braiding the seed corn and hanging it
beside the chimney, so as to secure the
heat Of the kitchen fire, but however
it is dried, the seed that has fire heat
to dry it is sure to produce the most
vigorous growth and the largest crop
Of grain.

FALL OF AN EMPEROR
CHINESE MONARCH DEPOSED
BY HIS MOTHER.
Was Too Progressive to Suit the Empress
Ii Hung Chang Will be Returned
to Power-Reforms are Now
impossible.

Perkin, Sep. 23.-An important edict
lust issued definitely announces that
the Emperor of China has resigned his
power to the empress (dowager en-
press), who has ordered the ministers
to deliver to her in future their official
reports.
1t is difficult to obtain reliable infor
nation at the palace in regard to the
preceding, but the recent reformatory
edicts probably caused the change.
While the emperor was suoservient
and mere fgurehead. the dowager
empress permitted him to remain in
peace, but as soon as he attempted to
act on his own initiative, his practical
deposition was the result His prin-
cipal adviser, Kang Yomoi, the Canton
ese reformer, fled in spite of the vigor-
our attempts made to arrest him, and
it is said he is now on his way to
Shanghai.
The effect of the change must be
great. In all probability LII Hung
Chang will be reinstated in power and
Russian influence will increase. The
hopes of reform so ardently cherished
by the intelligent factions of the
Chinese are now impossible of fulfill
ment.
The suddeness of the coup is said to
be due to the desire of the dowager
empress to prevent the mission of the
Marquis Ito from being successful
The japanese statesman recently came
to Pekin with the object of trying to
bring about an alliance, offensive and
defensive, between Japan and China.
The new order ,of things will I'M
doubtedly prejudice British interests
in China.
1t is reported that the next edict will
give the full reason for the change.
The wording of the present edict is
not yet obtainable. but it is to the eff
feet that the emperor requested the
dowager empress to assume power,
this being the third time the request
has been made.
The Marquis Ito, in an interview be-
fore the edict was issued said the en-
peror received him yesterday in the
most cordial manner and said he hoped
to have the advantage of the advice of
the marquis in the reforms which his
majesty intended to undertake. The
marquis, even then, feared that the
inaction and conservatism of the
Chinese officials would .nullify the re-
forms, although he believed the en-
peror was acting in good faith.
London, Sept. 24.-According to
special dispatch received from Pekin,
members of the European community
there believe the life of the emperor
of China is in danger. 1t is added that
the dowager empress desires to place
Prince Kwang's grandson on the
throne. The emperor realizes the
strength of the conspiracy against him
and has ordered the guards at the
palace to be strengthened.

MUSIC AT THE EXPOSITION.
Famous lines Band Engaged to Play for
Six Weeks at Omaha.

Six Weeks at Omaha.
Omaha, Sept 26.-Innes' famous New
York City concert band has been en-
gagged to play at the Trans-Mississippi
Exposition daily from September 25 to
October 81. This band is one of the
most successful musical organizations
in the country today. Frederick N.
Innes, the conductor, first made a
reputation as trombone player.
When he took up the trombone it was
known solely as an instrument of per-
cussion, and he astonished the world
by demonstrating its adaptability to
solo playing, capable of finely express
ing all phases of passion. In fact he
was the discoverer of trombone music,
the originator of the triple flat
tuba which he uses. When he
organized his band he gave up from
bone playing, and now he persistently
refuses to play except an occasional
number at one of his own band con-
certs or in compliment to some distin-
guished gathering of friends. He had
just planted his flag on the mountain,
like Excelsior, and came down again
to begin climbing another ladder to
fame

to this fact, numerous inquiries have
come to the station in regard TO some
method for its prevention. At pros
ent it is we'll known that the loose
caused by minute fungus, which
enters the plant while very young and
lives inside it's tissues, developing its
fruit or spores in the head OF the
growing wheat, this development TAX
ing place at the expense Of the wheat
they ripen are carried by currents of
air to adjoining plants. thus injecting
the seed for the coming year, or they
are washed off by rains into the soil,
where they may also infect the next
seasons crop In this connection it is
we'll to observe the following precau-
tionary measures. which will mitigate
much of the loss: 1st-That the seed
shall be taken from wheat fields free
from smut 2d-Sow on soil not pre-
viously infected with smut spores.
Treatment of seed.-Since the plants
are infected by this fungus in the very
early stages of their growth, it is evil
dent that no treatment of the plants
in the field will prevent the develop
ment of the smut. hence the necessity
of treating the seed. The ordinary hot
water treatment, as recommended for
the sinking smut of wheat and the
loose smut of oats has not proved an
efficient preventive of the loose smut
of wheat, hence it has not been en-
ployed by the station to any extent.
A recent bulletin Gu. S. Department OF
Agriculture. Farmers Bulletin No. f5),
by Swingle, however, prescribes
method of hot water treatment for the
loose smut of wheat which, 1t is
claimed, has proved efficient. This
method, which is to receive thor
ough trial at the station this coming
season, is as follows: 1.-THE seed, en-
closed in coarse gunny sacks or open
baskets, is soaked four hours in cola
water. 1t is then removed and al
lowed to stand in the wet sacks about
four hours. The enclosed seed is then
dipped in a vessel containing water at
ITO and 12O degrees Fab, and after a
moment it is lifted, allowed to drain
a little and then dipped again. This
operation should be repeated several
times. The object of this preparatory
treatment is to bring each seed in con-
tact with the warm water, and the
whole time consumed should not ex-
coed a minute The sacks of seed
should then be plunged in water at l32
degrees Fab, for five minutes, care
being exercised in maintaining this
temperature within a degree or two
throughout the operation, as well as
to keep the seed constantly stirred.
To maintain the temperature it is
necessary to have third vessel con-
tanning boiling water by the addition
of which to vessel No. 2 a uniform
temperature may be maintained. The
thermometer used should be an accu-
rate one. 1t has been found that quite
a percentage of the seed is killed by
this treatment, hence it is recon-
mended that one-half more seed be
used per acre in planting. William
