Some OF the Massachusetts, papers have
taken up the query. Would a Republican
legislature do Missouri any good?' We
are not so certain about Missouri. but

mighty near grabbing the whole state.
Massachusetts knows how to run the af-
fairs OF the rest OF the Union. but is a

A Experiment WIN Mosquitoes.

-
In order to settle the important ques-
ton whether malaria is spread, as sus-
pected, by the bite of the mosquito,
two Englishmen, DR.. Louis Sambon
and DR.. Low are about to proceed to
the Roman Campagna in order to
put the matter to the test of practical
experience. They are to live In this
feyef-stricken district for six months,
mixing freely with the populace DUR
ing the day. but shut up in a mosquito
proof house at night. This house will
be protected by fine wire gauze,
through which the insects cannot en-
ter. If the inmates escape malaria
living, as they will. save for the pro-
lection Of the wire gauze, under the
same conditions as the stricken peas
antry-it may be considered a GER
tainty that the disease is spread by
the mosquitoes. However, there will
be a further test. The doctors will
rear some mosquitoes and some thirty
or forty of the insects, after being al
lowed to bite a malaria patient, will
be sent to London and set free in a
room where some students will be
sleeping; and if these self-sacriicing
individuals show, in ten days or SO,
symptoms of the disease, the matter
will be proved beyond doubt. The he
roism of the two men who are will
ing to risk their lives in the service
of their fellow men by voluntary -ex-
lie to such a fever den as the Roman
Campagna is beyond praise. 1t re-
quires something more than a Vic
toria Cross for due recognition.-Cham-
bers's Journal.

Lands without omcial Postage.

Many persons are under the impress
sion that the Val D'Andorra, a strip
of no-man's land between Spain and
France, is the only portion Of Europe
which can boast Of the absence of
an official postage stamp. As a matter
of fact, a piece of country known as
"Moresnet Calamine," which lies
where the Belgian province of Liege
meets the Prussian Regency of Aix-la
Chapelle, is in a like position. AS it
has been found impossible to agree
as to the frontier d~elimitation, German
and Belgian stamps are used indis-
c~riminately. Further, this piece of
country has no coinage Of it's own,
and uses that of the latin Union.-

Springfield. Mass. (SpeciaD.-The
American Agriculturist says:
In spite of a season in which wealth
er conditions seemed all out of joint,
the total wheat crop is equal to our
normal production of ten years ago.
The State averages of yield make an
aggregate winter wheat crop of $780,
100000 bushels, average thirteen BUSH
els per acre; yield of spring wheat is
estimated at 1S1, 600, 900 bushels; total
winter and spring. $40, 500, 900 bush
els. The average rate of yield per acre
for the United States is 11.9 bushels,
against 12.5 bushels one year ago.
The United States wheat crop of 1899
was 565.000, 900 bushels, and two years
ago, 715,00O,00O bushels.
The final report on rate Of yield of
the oat crop places the average at
29.9 bushels per acre, compared with
SO.4 bushels last year. The acreage
reported and harvested is %, 900
acres, and on this basis the total crop
Of oats of the United States is esti-
mated at 832,250.OOO bushels, against
S69, 10000 bushels one year ago and
100, 100000 in 1898.
The general average Of corn this

YoUTSEY BREAKS DOWN.
Exciting Scene at His Trial For
Killing Governor Goebel.
Becomes Hysterical, Calls Arthur Goebe
. Liar, Strikes lis Own Wife
and Conapses.

Georgetown. KY. (SpeciaD. Henry
3. Youtsey, on trial for the assassina-
ton of Governor William Goebel,
created a sensation Tuesday in the
court room by denouncing as a liar
Arthur Goebel, who was about to tes-
tify against him, and then running
amuck, even striking his wife in his
struggles. The whole affair was es-
pecially unexpected, because Youtsey's
case had been proceeding unusually
well.
Arthur Goebel, brother Of William
with Youtsey in jail on the day the
latter was arrested. Youtsey sprang
to his feet.
sIt is a liew! he exclaimed. adyanc-
ing toward Goebel, his eyes blazing.
Il never had a conversation with that
man in my life," and his voice rose to
a shrek. Eat the jail or anywhere

word to him, or he to ne"

have no blood on my hands, and I
want every one to see it. Not a bit.
! am innocent, or I hope a higher pow
er will kill me dead"
At this point Mrs. Youtsey threw her
arms around her husband, but he
threw her off, and in striking out
blindly struck her once or twice. The
combined efforts of five men were re-
quired to hold him.
AS he finally sank into a chair Mrs.
Youtsey, already in Mysteries, turned
to Arthur Goebel and cried, NOW, I
hope you are satisfied. You have killed
him."
Then she was led fainting into the
jury room. During all this Arthur
Goebel had remained passive.
Then Youtsey broke out again. II
tell you Goebel is not dead! All the
demons in perdition could not kill
him." And as Arthur Goebel shot a
glance Of hate at the man accused of
numbering his brother and now ira
ducing his memory, Judge CantriH
said: "Mr. sheriff. if the defendant
does not behave himself put the hand
cuffs on him."
After that Judge Cantrill attempted
to resume court. but on the request of
Youtsey's attorneys agreed to post
pone until the following morning.
YOutsey was carried to the Jail,
where he shouted "Hurrah for Goe-
bel" three times and then collapsed.
1t is feared that he cannot recover, or
at least that he is permanently unbal-
anced. Few believe that Youtsey was
shamming.

FLBD WITH BANKS FUNDS
William Schrieber, Of Elizabeth, N.
j, a Fugitive From Justice.
ACCUSED OF STEALING 500, 900.

Young schrieber Was Bookkeeper for
the EIiz.bethport Banking co.-short-
: Discovered while on His vacauon
-He Led : Gay LIE In New York
City-He II Said toBe in Europe.
Elizabeth. N. J. CSpeciaD.-William
Schrieber, a trusted clerk OF the Ellie
~abethport Banking Company. who has
not been seen here since August 2,
was found to have stolen 100000
Of the banks money. This beardless
young man. who has vet to see his
twenty-ffth year, has proved himself,
SO the bank officers say, one Of the
most expert Of thieves and an adept
at twisting accounts SO as to deceive
even the keen bank examiners.
Schrieber's peculations go back at
least three years and effect q great
many accounts. The general ledger
OF the institution indicates that
$4,000 is due its depositors. The
sum total of their pass books shows
that they have deposited $685., 900 in
the bank. The difference, 100000, is
the amount stolen through a simple
system of peculation by Schrieber.
The money was spent in fast living
in New York City, and those who
knew the young man believe it was
spent as it was stolen. The bank OH
GERS attribute their loss to the cramped
condition Of the old Offices, which al
lowed any person in their employ to
get at the money, and also to their
faith in the integrity Of young Schrie-
Der.
The missing clerk had several times
been suspected of stealing, but the
closest watching failed to reveal any
shortcomings. On August 2 he went
examined, but nothing wrong was dis
covered. When he did not return, how
ever, and reports of his fast life in
New York City were received, an
other and more careful examination
was made, and it was found that he
had juggled accounts so as to make
them appear all right.
The directors of the bank met and
made good the loss.
The directors placed the matter OF
apprehending the missing man in the
hands Of a detective agency. He is
believed to have sailed for Europe
about three weeks ago.
Schrieber lived in a modest frame
cottage in Elizabeth with his aged
mother, his brother, Henry, and his
sister, Annie.
He entered the employ of the bank
about ten years ago, when It first
opened, as an errand boy. and worked
up to the position Of bookkeeper.
While organized as a State bank, the
bank has been looked upon as an an
e Of the First National Bank Of
Elizabeth, of which Senator Kean is
President. The capital is $4,000; sur.
plus, $4,000.

Bony Material Made ON Of MODE

A Kansas City man has discovered
a way of making billiard balls out of
milk. The casein, a hard substance Of
the milk, is extracted by coagulation,
the powder so produced is combined
with some alkaline substances, and
this forms a cement which is water
proof. The inventor calls his new prep
aration lactite ivory, and expects to
use it largely in making billiard balls,
combs, brush handles, piano keys and
other articles that are now made chief
