past week three new banking corpora
items have been formed in this part Of
the state. They are the Bank Of Con-
de, the State Bank Of Faulton and the
Stock Growers State Bank at Gettys-
burg, and all three are probably the
outcome of the great development In
the cattle industry Of the state during
the last few years. Bert Smith will be
cashier Of the Bank Of Condo. "A. M.

ton Of cashier in the State Bank OF

The report Of the French Millers'
association on the European whea:
harvest Of 1899 indicates that the
drouth in the Odessa and Nicolaief dis
tricts is so disastrous that the total
Russian wheat production of 1899
must show a falling of Of SO per cent
from average years, and will be az. bad
as in 1897, which was one of the worst
years on record. In Germany wheat is
satisfactory, although slightly less 40
than in 1898. In Austro-Hungarv the
estimate exceeds last years produc.

Germany claims that militarism is
benefcent, inasmuch as the raw re-
cruit is. in his years Of service in a
standing army, educated, disciplined,
and then returned to society and to in
dustry a far more intelligent and ef-
fective person than he was before, or
could have made himself. This, to
some degree, is true. The standard of
manhood ought to be raised and is
raised by the military system; but sup
pose the government gave all men a
training simply for industrial purposes
and put them into trade schools instead
Of camps? A similar but far higher
end would be attained, in such a pro-
ductive potentiality as has never yet
been realized; and it seems as lesiti-
mate to train men for national prosper
lty AZ for national defense.

pert Who Testified Against Drey-

and Says Esterhazy Wrote the
Bordereau Commission Will BE.
Appointed to Take Du Patty de
CLAIMS Testimony.

Rennes, Aug. 30.-The balance or the
evidence yesterday, for a change, was.
in favor Of Dreyfus. Five witnesses
were for him and two against him.
The most interesting testimony was
that of Chief Handwriting Expert
Charavay, who had come to declare he
bad changed his opinion which, in
1894, was against, and is now in favor
of Dreyfus, who, he now afirms, was
not the author of the bordereau. His
candid confession Of error was re-
ceived with murmurs of satisfaction
in court. which brought forth discreet
applause in spite of Col. Jouaust's pat
ent disapprOval, when he solemnly
added:
Il declare here, on my soul and con.
science, that the bordereau was writ
ten by Esterhazy."
The most important incident, how
ever, was Col. Jouaust's acquiescence
to Maj. .Carriere's request that a roga-
tory commission be instructed to take
Col. Du Patty de CLAIMS deposition.
The initiative came purely from the
governments commissary, Maitres
Labor and Demange having no faith
in such a measure because 1t allows
Du Patty de Clam to escape cross-ex-
animation, which is the only thing
worth having under the present cir
cumstances. Du Patty de Clam. being
a witness for the prosecution, Maj.
Carriere will simply prepare a list Of
questions, which an examining magfs-
trate will put to Du Patty de Clam at
his residence, and nobody supposes
that the witness will be very much en-
barressed by the heterogeneous.
The central figure in the court yard,
which is the meeting place for all the
leading %personages Of the trial during
the suspension Of the session, was
Capt. F~reystatter, who was the SUBJ
ject Of many fiattering remarks upon
his manly and soldier-like bearing.
Indeed, the interest in him was SO
great that some persons waited all
night long outside the door of the court
in order to obtain standing room in
the e part Of the court room, in the
hope of seeing him at the sitting, an
impression having gone abroad that
he might be recalled. His modest and
frank inspired admiration in
all except the generals and the other
military witnesses for the prosecution,
who seemed afraid of him and scowled
in his direction from the other side Of
the court yard. Capt. Freystattcr will
not remain here until the end Of the
trial, but will leave Rennes in a few
days. NJ. De Freycinet, former minis
ter Of war. arrived yesterday and will
testify to-day.

bakers here promises to be serious.
More than 300 bakers were present at
the meeting yesterday, though many
could not come from the outlying dis
tricts, such as Mariana, Regla and
Rivera. The employers tried to settle
the matter by proposing to the men a
compromise of IS per month advance
instead of $40, which was demanded.
Many of the men were inclined to .ac-

ers were represented the bread will be

strike, though it is not expected they
will go out, as on account of the poor
crop the men have been working short
time and have not the necessary funds
in hand.

Not Appreciated I'm Red River Valley
Counties.
Fargo. N. D.-Some of the laws Of
this state do not jibe very well. One
of the enactments of the legislature
provides for a state tax of one-tenth Of
a mill for wolf bounty. 1t was a law
passed in 1897. In.1S97 and 1893 Cass
county collected $2,5O0 under that head
and sent it to the state treasury. The
bounty on the wolves killed in Cass
county during the two years reached
the munificent sun of 1924, and the
county quit loser $2.376 on the transac-
ton. The legislature of 1899 seemed
anxious to make themselves good, and
doubled the tax. This year Cass win
be compelled to dig up $4,000, and it is
an even bet that there won't be a wolf
killed in the county. The measure as
sists the cattlemen out in the western
part of the state, but the valley pays
for the fun.
