Direct evidence connecting General
Weyler of Cuban fame and memory,
with the wholesale lootlng Of the Phil
lppine treasury, has been unearthed iu
Bilibld prison. The books of the
treasury show that Maximiano Rosales
and Julian Reyes were sent to prison
as scapegoats for the vice regal thieves,
but they have been liberated. Investl-
cation discloses the fact that Weyler
and his associates looted the treasury
of about $1,SOO,OOO in Mexican silver.
No attempt had been made to cover up
the roooery. The entire deficit was
explained by the arrest of Rosales and
his companions and their conviction
on the charge of theft.

SO many instances have been rocogd-
cd In which cattle were poisoned by
eating the leaves Of Wild cherry trees
or shrubs that the chemiats OF the
New Hampshire College Agricultural
Experiment Station recently under
took TO determine the amount OF poIs-
on In these leaves, The results are re-
corded by Messrs. Morse and Howard
In Bulletin SO. In It they say that the
poisonous property Of all species OF
cherry leaves Is due to hydrocyanic
acid, popularity known as prusslc acid.
This compound does not exist as such
In the growing leaf, but Is derived
from y class Of substances called glu-
cosldes, OF which amygdalln Is the
type peculiar to the cherry. This, or
closely allied body, ls to be found
not only In the leaves and bark, but
especially In the stones of cherries,
peaches and plums, and the seeds Of
the apple, BY the action OF moisture
and vegetable ferment called emul-
sin, which exists In the plant, a com
plex chemical reaction takes place,
that begins In the leaf the moment
connection with the elrculatory system
ID cut on. The three products OF this
reaction are hydrocyanlc acid, grape
sugar and benzaldehyde, or bitter al
mond OIL
There is popular opinion that the
leaves of the cherry are poisonous
only when cut and In the ,wilted con-
dition; that cattle may safely nlbble
them from the growing shrub without
danger OF injury, and that they are
quite harmless when dried. Our OBJ
servations, however, prove these views
to be nut partially correct. As q mat
ter OF fact, Installations of samples.
made within twenty minutes OF cut
ting, show that the freshly cut leaves
Yield nearly as much acid as the wilt
cd ones do when calculated on the
weight OF fresh material taken. and
when eaten fresh the character of the
juices within the animal stomach ls
such as to render that organ most
favorable place for the conduct Of the
reaction In which prusslc acid is lib
Grated.
On the other hand, while II is true
that the thoroughly dried leaves yield
a comparatively small amount Of acid,
still they may always produce some,
and MS ordinarily dried In the hay
field, they may be capable OF generat-
ing a considerable quantity of the
poison. The desirabllity of carefully
excluding them from all hay is there
fore apparent. The symptoms Of cher
ry poisoning in cattle as stated by DR..
Chestnut, in his bulletin, Principal
Poisonous Plants OF the United
States" include "labored respiration,
diminished pulse, numbness, fright,
protrudlng eyeballs, commissions, and
death from paralysis of the lungs. In
some cases there Is considerable froth-
Ing at the mouth; in all there is a
very perceptlble odor of prussic acid
In the breath"
According to Blythe, the fatal dose
OF the anhydrous acid for an adult
person, Is about one grain, or sixty
five millegrams. At this rate about
one-half pound Of the black cherry
leaves may be considered as a fatal
quantity for COW to eat.

1.-THE hardwood trade Is really in q
more satisfactory condition than that
pertaining to the soft woods" says
the Northwestern Lumberman. There
III not O weak spot In the market any
where. Though the season is near an
end, and consumers are inclined to re-
atrlct their purchases to necessities.
there yet has been but little slacken-
lug Of the urgent movement which has
characterized the trade all season. Dry
stocks at the mills, north and south,
have been sold Off, even what would
ordinarily be considered rlff-raff haV-
Ing been cleaned up. The demand this
l,eason has predominantly been for
common and Gull lumber. the call for
hrsts and seconds having been less
than usual, except when lumber was
required for export. The greater de-
mand from all sorts Of consumers has
been for common lumber, that SEEM
Ing to have been as good stock as they
required. This excessive demand has
absorbed common oak faster than II
could be dried. with the result that
there is a shortage all over the coun-
try. Thick ash has also been sold ont
to the extent of scarcity at the mills
south, and at market points. Black
ash in the north has become almost
an unknown market quantity, and the
same can be said Of Michigan soft elm.
1t is also said that the greater por-
tion of Wisconsin Eastwood has
changed hands, and the demand for
Gull is in excess of the ready supply.
Poplar has done better this season
than for years, and the demand is still
we'll maintained, while prices are Arm
at $3.50 to SO a thousand higher than
O year ago."

THE CRUSADERS.

The commencement concert of the
University School OF Music occurred on
Tuesday night at the Oliver. A packed
house greeted Mrs. Raymond and her
chorus Of hundred and twenty-five
singers. "rhe Crusadera," a beautiful
cantata by Neils Gade was presented.
1t has been through the earnest efforts
OF Mrs. Raymond that Lincoln people
have been permitted to hear the com.
positions Of the great composers. The
chorus and soloists were ably supported
by the Philharmonic orchestra. The
soloists we're Miss Parthenia Bowman OF
Omaha, soprano; Mr.. Holmes Cowper Of
Chicago, tenor and Mr.. Sidney P. Biden
OF Chicago, baritone.
Miss Bowman was suffering from an
attack Of laryngitis and stage fright,
which makes an estimate Of her voice
impossible. Mr.. Cowper took the tenor
solos with tunefulness and finish. He
is favorite here.
Mr.. Bidens fine voice aroused an CO.
thusiasm which has not yet subided
He sings with great style and finish.
The work Of the chorus was smooth and
even and the parts we're we'll balanced.
TIE concert was under the general gu.
pervision OF Director Kimball, to whom
the city owes much for his efforts in be-
half of music During his residence
here Mr. Kimball has brought many
great artists to Lincoln running great
financial risks which others had not tbs
courage to incur, besides giving a large
number OF really good concerts and re.
citals by members Of his faculty and
his advanced students. Mr.. August
Hagenow was the leader OF the or.
chestra, and Mrs Will Owen Jones pre-
sided at the piano.

Power Of a Pound OF Coal.

A curious and interesting calculation
mas been made on the dynamic power
OF coal. From this we learn that a
single pound Of good steam coal has
within 1t dynamic power equal to the
work of one man for one day. Three
tons OF the same coal represent mans
labor for period of twenty years, and
one square mile of seam OF coal, hav-
Ing depth of four feet only, repre-
sents as much work as 1,OOO,OOO men
can perform in twenty years. Such
calculations as the above may serve
TO remind us how valuable commod-
ity coal really Is.

Britain's Roman WOads.

Up to the year 1924 the modern
ruai- cf Great Britain were inferior
to those ~ Romans built prior to the
fifth century. The complete system in
cluded six main roads from London
with their branches, and a perfect net.
work Of cross roads, measuring all told
some 5000 miles, and connecting Edin-
hurgh, Glasgow, Bath, Bristol, New
castle, Dover and other points still oc-
cupied by thriving tow The Roman
roads were narrow, but built to last
for all time. The usual width was
about fifteen feet, the depth three feet.
The bottom was dug out and we'll
rammed, a foundation Of larger stones
was laid in cement, and layers of
smaller stones tapered off toward tho
Top, which was laid browning in the
middle to shed rain. Such cement as
Romans used made these roads prac-
tically solid blocks of stone.

New York, September 13.-The new
White Star steamship Oceanic, the lar
gest vessel afioat, from Queenstown,
arrived at her pier in North river at
1:45 O'Clock this afternoon and debark
ed her passengers.
A big crowd of those who had Sc
cured passes to the dock, and bigger
crowd which was kept back Of the
fence, cheered the new steamer as she
crept up the river and swung slowly
into her birth. Coming up from Lib
erty island, the boat appeared un-
wieldy and her tunnels too high for
symmetry, but as she came closer the
impression OF great length grew clear
er. 1t took six tugs forty minutes to
shove her bow around and force the
huge vessel into place. Docked, she
filled almost the whole length OF the
long pier.
The Oceanic's time was six days and
two hours. She is the largest vessel
ever built. She was launched at Bel
fast, January 14th at the shipbuilding
yards Of Harland & Wolff. Her dimen-
sions are 704 feet long, y feet beam
and 6s feet depth, with drought, light,
Of % feet and, loaded. 321z feet. She
registers 1900 tons. Her engines were
designed to develop As, 5,000 horse power
Her coal capacity is about 5000 tons
and she consumes about 500 tons Of
coal daily. She is rigged with three
masts and is equipped with two fun
nels, each of twenty feet diameter and
eighty feet above her fire CRATES.
