GLOVE TRUST Is ASSURED.
Capital Stock of the Combine Will Bs
$4,000. Ots).

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.--The formation
of a glove trust is assured. 1t will be
organized on different lines from other
combinations Of capital, and its crea-
ton will mark a new era in the glove
trade of the country: because not only
will the members engage in the manu-
facture of ladies' fine gloves not here
tofore attempted in this country on a
large scale, but they will make a strong
bid for foreign trade, which they be-
lieve will be successful. Charles E.
Payne of Chicago, attorney for the
American Trust and Savings bank of
Chicago, which is furnishing the capi-
tai and accepting options for the organ
ization Of the glove trust, is in New
York. He said to a reporter:
1T is quite true that we are organic
ing a glove trust, and matters are SO
far advanced that while the contracts
do not call for the taking over Of the
property before Jan. l, 1900, we shall
take it ove in November. The capital
stock will be $50, 900, 600, of which 49,
600, 900 will be preferred, representing
the actual cash value of the property
taken. The common stock will be dis
tributed in the nature of a bonus"

Breeding Young Animals.

Defects, either constitutional or NOR
al. do not show themselves as n rule
until an animal has reached full phys
ical and mental development, says the
St. Louis Republic.
On this account before animals are
used for breeding sufficient time should
be allowed for the quality and charac-
ter Of the parents to develop before the
progeny is reared. Every individual
animal. male or female, has a charac-
ter Of some kind to transmit, with
some notifications, to it's offspring.
This character may be positive. mega
tive or neutral, but whatever it is some
thing should be known about it before
it is used for reproduction, for heredity
has much to do with traits and charac-
ter in animals. For this reason great
care should be taken to know that an
imals have good characters as well as
good constitutions. \ vicious horse or
colt is apt to breed vicious offspring,
and a weakly constituted animal is
sure to breed offspring of weak vital.
ity. Vitality or constitution cannot be
fed into an animal: it must be bred.
No infallible rules can be laid down
with reference to the age at which
different classes Of stock may be bred.
The short lived races, like swine and
sheep. arrive ut maturity in much less
time than horses and cattle, but even
in the case of the shorter lived animals

results are expected.
Generally n sow or W is, as fully dc.
veloped at l year as a heifer or filly al

OF course there are conditions when
it may be considered best to breed
early. The development Of the dairy
qualities Of the heifer is often made
the excuse for breeding her early, anG
to some extent the end sought makes il
justitiable under certain conditions.
Maternity at a tender age is a severe
strain upon the animal, and it often in
terferes seriously with the subsequent
growth and development. An ANNA,
stunted during growth by any cause
seldom fully overcomcs the effect, ne
matter what the after treatment may
be.
Especially when breeding to improve
the stock it is best to wait until the
animals are reasonably we'll matured

which has been built to the city for
years. Their trip to the country was
to look after their interests here, this
being their terminal for the branch
now built to within Il few miles of the
city.
The members Of the party were
pleased With the country through
which they passed, with the prospects
for it's development, and with the crops
they saw i'll their drives through the
outlying country. While making no
assurances, the officials of the road
stated that with the coming develop
ment of the country and the railroad
traffic tributary to the locality, the
500 should have been completed to the
city before this, and it is likely that
an especial effort will be made to iron
the road to the city and complete the
branch this fall, although it is pos
sible that inability to get steel MAJ

After their trip through the coun-
try, the officials Went to Mandan iE

number Of residents of the city, re-
turning shortly after supper time.
In the evening, the members of the
party were at home in their car, where
they were called upon by a number Of
local citizens, who We're cordially well
coined and entertained.
The members of the party were
given a serenade by the band, after
the outdoor concert, and at the Sheri-

made by members of the party. Sen

builded up since the fire, their courage
in combating obstacles. and said that
he had frequently told Editor Jewell

two places in the country in which
he wanted to liveeNew York City or

SOME INTERESTING FACTS IN
TIIE MAKING OLE BOOKS.

The publishing house of the Werner
Company. Akron, Ohio. one of the larg-
est establishments in the country. and
the owner of the largest book manu-
featuring plant, has recently furnished
to the press some figures which excite
public marvel in regard to the manu-
facture and output of the revised issue
Of their New -AmericaniZed E%nclyclo-
paedia Britannica
Having. with the assistance of a
corps of scholarly editors. just COM
pleted the revision of this great store
house of information and reference.
they proceeded to put to press an edi-
ton Of the colossal work. for which
they had orders on file from the open
ing of the present book season. These
orders aggregated $4,000 sets Of fifteen
volumes each, making. for the present
wants of the house. Il total manufac-
ture Of $4,000 books: each book con-
tanning G54 pages. having an average
Of 1000 words. This makes. in the
edition manufactured. a total of $780,
$4,000 pages of reading matter. COM

Each page of reading matter has

umns of print. Each column is Z 81
inches long and 2% inches wide. There
is thus in the edition printed a total
length of 9O.234 miles of printed mat
ter. This is as much as would encir-
Gle the globe 3 So times.
Each volume of the fifteen in the set
weights three pounds, or a total weight
for the edition manufactured would be
1920 900 pounds.
Again. each volume is tx inches

conveyance of this quantity of paper
from the mills to the factory at Akron
called into requisition 55h cars. each

used weighs 119 pounds to the ream:
hence the paper alone weighs 1323S75
pounds.
Each set Of the Britannica is packed

sumes II square feet of lumber. or a
total of 413.7OO feet of boxing for the

DISASTROUS HAIL.
Section in the Northern Part Of tn,
County Swept by a Disastrous
Hail Storm.
Large Number of Farmers Among the
Losers and Damage Will Reach
Thousands Of Dollars.
From Thursdays Daily.l
SEVERE HAIL STORM.

A severe hail storm came off the
river last evening, passed through q
section in the best crop growing part
of the county, for a strip about six
miles wide, and destroyed grain to the
extent of thousands Of dollars. Own
ers Of grain that stood in the fields,
heavy and ready for harvesting, saw
the storm come and thresh out the
grain. beating the standing grain into
the ground, and so severe that in som
cases it tore up the grass and stripped
the ground nearly bare.
The storm broke out about 5 o'clock
in the evening. 1t came from the
west and passed through parts of the
townships of Burnt Greek, Riverview,
Glenview. Crofte, Ecklund and Grass
Lake. and passed on into Wells county,
leaving thousands of dollars losses in
damage in its wake.
From the extreme northern part of
the storm there have come no definite
statements of losses. Along the river,
l.. A. Larson at Dry Point lost his
entire crop-no insurance. j. r. Nc
Garvey and Pat Flanagan lost their
crops. George Hitchcock suffered a
total loss. Frank Bly, lost his crop.
E. A. Lewis of Rawlings reports a loss
of twenty acres-insured. G. A. Carl
son lost twenty-five acres. insured.
and Nels Johnson of Wogansport lost
about half his crop. Other reported
losers are G. o. Hanson. Oscar Back
man. Ed. Rawlings. NJ. Spangberg,
J.. A. Johnson Of Painted Woods, Rob-
ert Weber. Ole Markelson, John
Meyers and others.
Emil Leben had n field of $50 acres
of fine grain that is reported wiped
out. He has ninety acres insured.
There are doubtless other losses that
will he reported in a day or so. Many
of the losers had no insurance. as the
northern section Of the county has
been free from hail. and this storm
found many of the farmers unpre-
pared in the way of insurance.
Several of the losers We're on their
way home with new machinery to
harvest the crop. when the storm
came and wiped them out.
The loss hard on many of the
farmers who We're in the path of the
storm. Nearly all of them had bette,
crops than for years. and where there
was insurance. it was not nearly
enough to the loss of the crop.

How it is Distributed as Shown by the
Assessment Returns from the
Several Counties.
Large Counties Short of Valuables-

Inequalities OF Assessment.

Some peculiar inequalities of ASSESS
ment and return of property are
shown by the abstracts Of personal
property from the different counties in
the state returned by the assessors:
Under the heading of bonds and
stocks other than bank stock the great
county of Cass-with the metropolis of
the state-where there is supposed to
be much wealth in stocks and bonds

Forks-thcre's nothing of. that sort
there either. McHenry county returns
