The cultivation Of fruit trees along
the high roads Of France is being ex-
tended year by year. Following the
example of the government, the COM
munes in certain departments adopted
the practice as a source Of revenue,
and now it has become an important
branch of national history.

A celebrated veterinary surgeon as
serts that ninety per cent. Of our worm

feet or legs because of some foot dis

Statistics of cremation, presented by
M. Bonneville at the recent annual
meeting of the society In Paris, show
that the number of incinerations at
the Pere Lachaise Crematory has al
most steadily increased since 1880,
and that the whole number last year
was 4,513, making 37,O6S from the be-
ginning. A fair proportion of the num-
Der were women. There are now in
Europe and America seventy .crema-
tories, twenty-seven 81 which are in
Italy and twenty in the United States.
Cremation is making good progress
In England, where four crematories
are reported from, and two are In
course Of erection. Germany has six,

among them. These horses are so wild
that 1t is extremely difficult to make an
examination of them to determine GER
tainly whether they are diseasd or not.
These animals are supposed to have
been tested by the government inspec-

aha or Kansas City. but it seems that
some diseased animals managed to get
thru. DR.. Gibson is in correspondence
with the United States officials in an.
effort to have the inspection more rigid.
He says the moral of it all is that the
Iowa farmers would better raise their
own horses and have a few to sell rath-g
er than buy these unknown animals
brought from unknown ranches in the.
west. While he does not accuse any
one Of bringing in diseased stock inten-
tionally, yet it would be a very easy
thing Tor ranchnaan to unload onto
Iowa If he found that his horses were

Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Sept. 1s.-Amateur bank.
robbers have created great excitement
in the village of Claire. fourteen miles
northwest OF hre, by attempting to rob
the State Bank of Claire. They secured
entrance to the bank last night and
sought to blow open the vault by
punching out rivet in the dial on the
vault door. The crevices We're filled.
with powerful explosives and touched
off. The result surprised the robbers as
much as the people of Claire. The dial
and portion Of the vault door We're
blown thru the front window of the
bank and across a seventN-foot street
and thru the window of a hotel. The
noise awakened every one in town and:
frightened the robbers, who made good
their escape, but without a penny of
the expected booty. The thieves over
looked a small safe outside that might
have been easily entered and which
contained $1,000 in gold. No clue.

New York, Sept. 19.--Wall street re-
ceived a genuine surprise when the an
ionuncement was made from the ross
ltrum of the stock exchange that the
old established Arm of Hatch &, Foote,
bankers and brokers, at 3 Nassau street,
had made an assignment to e. Ellery
Anderson. Daniel B. Hatch, the gray
haired. senior member of the firm. made
a statement which caused even greater
surprise.

MIR. Foote, my partner, is insane at
his country home, Oceanic. N. j.. He
has been i'll for three weeks. His Ill
ness is due undoubtedly to the strain
upon him during the four years he was
speculating in secret.
From what we can gather now he
has been carrying on his speculation
for several years. He did it in the name
OF our customers. AS he had full charge

The Arm in it's early years did a large
business. but was carried down, in the
Grant and Ward panic OF 1884 and since
Its resumption has not been in any way
prominent in Wall street affairs.
Both Mr.. Hatch and Mr.. Foote were
clerks in the old Investment house OF
Fisk & Hatch thirty years ago. In 1861
they formed a partnership. but not un-
til three years later did they become a
stock exchange house. Mr.. Daniel b
Hatch was the board member Mr.
Foote had charge of the accounts. Like
the firm in which they received their
early training, they did quite busi-
