Is What He Heard.

Detective Hewitt, who returned from
California yesterday. says the Atlanta.

Almand, had some amusing expert
ences on his five days trip. The de-
tective says he had q good deal of
trouble in keeping up with the differ

tween Atlanta and Tulare, Cal.
''When 1 arrived in Ell Paso, Texas"
said Hewett, 81 found that I would
have time enough to get Q cup-of coffee
before the train pulled out. I there

which had been travelling and began
looking about for an eating house.

MEMBER OF The
CAPRICE GANG
Operated In This Vicinity
Several Years Ago,
BUT HE CAME TO GRIEF.

He Sold Chinese Certificates At SIS 90
Each, And Calculated That He
Would Make A Fortune Out Of His
Scheme-It Fell Through, How
ever. When One Of His Dupes Was
Captured And Sent to the Peniten-
tiary.
A short time ago Richard Rule,
special semployee of the treasury de-
partment captured in Juarez large
number of forged Chinese certificate
which were in possession Of China
man.
The capture itself was the result of an
important piece of detective work. but
as to the certificates themselves there
by hangs a. tale.
In the autumn of 1895 two Cinnamon
were captured on this eide of the border
by Mr.. Rule, who were armed with
forged certificates, 30 perfect that 1t
was necessary to submit then to an ex-
pert before it was determined that they
we're not genuine. Mr.. Rule suspected
that they were forgeries only on &C.
count of one misspelled word in the
description of the holders there of. All
others to whom they were submitted,
except the expert, pronounced them
genuine.
An Investigation followed and it de-
veloped that q man named William
Orr, who had recently arrived from
San Francisco and who represented
himself to be the proprietor OF q
bakery in that city, had uttered the
| certificates. He came here claiming
that he was taking q much needed
rest and spent most of his time in
Jusrez.
AS soon as he heard of the arrest of
the two Cinnamon and that he was
suspected he went to the City of Mex
leo where he was subsequently arrest
ed by Mexican officers for passing cOun-
terfeit Mexican money.
The two Chinamen were founo
guilty and both sentenced to terms in
the penitentiary at Leavenworth and
afterwards deported.
It subsequently, developed that Orr
was a member of the notorious Ciprico
gang of San Francisco, which was
broken up in the summer OF 1893 and
three members thereof sent to the pen
itentiary for manufacturing Chinese
certificates. One member OF the gang,
who was an expert penman, escaped and
it is believed that Orr was the man.
Orr is supposed to have come here
with large number of the forged GER
tificates and it ia known that he sold
many of them for SIS each to China
men in Juarez. 1t is also believed that
the batch captured q short time ago
wore disposed of by Orr before he
took his departure to the City OF Mex
leo.
The Ciprico gang when broken uI
had one Of the most perfect counter
feiting plants ever located in the Unit
ed States. They were prepared to dc
work on an extensive scale and had
figured out their profits at a half mil
lion annually. Orr when in Ell Paso
had with him all necessary stamps
hand numbering machines, etc, to
manufacture perfect certificates and
the agents Of the treasury depart
ment considered that they did q great
stroke of business when they brighten
ed him after the arrest of the two
Cinnamon into leaving Juarez for the
City of Mexico. They are satisfied,
however, that the certificates recently
captured were Orr's handiwork.

His Hair In Danger.

A young artist whose pipe, eyeglasses

garden party not 20 much for social
sniusement "a for pencil studies Of high
life. He wore tall hat, frock coat and
lavender trousers and carried sketch

his epigrams, paradoxes and fiendish
silvery laugh overwhelmed, as he in
tended, all the girls in sight or hearing,
but he got through with his social du-
ties as speedily as might be, then went
and sat down ON q distant fence.
Soon pencil studies lay all around
him on the grass. Suddenly he felt
gentle tug at his back hair. He thought,
"That is some fresh Alec trying to guy
me-. and he did not look up. The gem
tie tugging ceased, began again, became
much stronger, and then he felt some.
thing wet, soft, Shiny, on his neck. With
q dreadful oath he lsaped from the fence
and looked behind him. Back there was

Q young man laughing The horses were
close to the fence, and it was one Of

German Beet Sugar.

Some figures taken from sugar. trade
journal and republished by the St. Louis
Republic show what an astonishingly
large quantity of sugar the German
beet farmers managed to raise on
comparatively small quantity of land
during the crop year of 1S97-1s98. In
this crop year there were 1,OsO, ,256 acres
devoted to the cultivation of sugar
beets. The beets worked amounted to
1852, ,S9l tons. In the official table the
average yield is set down 1922 tons per
acre. Some deductions are evidently
made, for the average really figures out
1858 tons per acre. Based on raw su
gar, the sugar production is given as
l, S44, 399 tons. This would make the
yield average 1888 pounds to the acre.
These figures, if the prevailing conditions
of sugar making in the United States
could be relied on as permanent, would
hold out promise of profit to Ameri-
can agriculturalists. According to
present information the sugar manu-
factories in the Unithe States pay
81 to $3.50 per ton for sugar beets.
Placing the beet yield at 1922 tons per
acre and estimating the prices accord
ing to the standard quoted, between $49
and 800 would be realized for the su.
gar beets produced upon an acre OF
land. This is more than four times as
much as the average value per acre fol

Care of Cow Stables.

1t were, writes L. w. Lightly in The
National Stockman. We prefer rather
windy day and open up all windows
and doors and completely sweep and
brush out all hooks and corners. Re.
move everything that is movable. Clean
out manure, straw, hsyseed etc, and
flush the cutters completely. Now
disinfect the stable thoroughly. Sulph-
ate of copper or chloride of lime is what
we generally use, though some of the
commercial disinfectants are sometimes
preferable. Common whitewash or
quicklime is very good to use for some
parts of the stable. If there is any sus-
picion that any disease is lurking in the
stable, such as abortion or any other
this disinfection should be particularly
thorough. Close the stable quite tight
and burn sulphur or, still better, gen.
crate chlorine gas by pouring hydro
chloric acid on some chloride of lime.
This forms deadly gas, and you want
to use it with caution, but it will do
thorough work. All the managers OF
troughs sho uld be secured with boiling
water. BY this semisnnual cleaning up
we have thus far escaped all the trou-
bles that often cause serious loss to
many dsirymen such as calf scours,
abortion, etc., and at the same time it
helps to produce the best and cleaneet
milk from which to make first class
butter.

climate be good or bad. Dairying has
also greatly increased the sociability
and contact of farmers with one an
other, for they meet when they come to
the creamery or factory. While they
are waiting they discuss how to get and
keep good COWS. This has done won
