according to which the system showed no

the first quarter of last year. which cost
the system 100000 at least, the sur
plus for the year was something like

statement is that for the first quarter they

The market today was quiet and unim-

speculation for the past two or three days.
Prices in general held their own fairly
well, but no gains were made and one or
two securities showed rather heavy de-
clines at the close, Sugar and Rapid Tran

recessions were due apparently 10 profit

Experiments with Wheat.


From EastOn lMu.j Leuger.
DIR. Charles Lowndes has made some
interesting experiments in wheat harvest
ing designed to show what loss is incurred
by cutting wheat before it is fully ripe.
The wheat experimental upon was the
Everett High Grade Smooth Chat White.
1t was planted about the 10th of October
on stiff white oak soil and seeded bushel
and half to the acre At harvest time
he took three samples of five heads each.
No. / was taken when the grain was in
the milky state; No. 2 when in the dough
state, and No 3 when the grain was fully
ripe. Three days interviewed between the
taking of each sample. All the samples
were kept in the same place and subjected
to the same conditions of temperature and
moisture. The wheat was rubbed from
the head by hand, and each sample was
weighed on Dawson & Jenkins's prescrip-
ton scales No. weighed 69 grains
No. 2, 65 grains, and No 3, IS grains.
The difference in the color was very marked
also. and likewise the difference in the
appearance of the grains. No. was
dark, shrivelIed and unsightly; No. 2 was
better, but it was off color and the grains
were not plump; No. 8 was perfect in con-
dition and color These samples may be
seen at The Ledger office. This shows a
loss of over Is per cent. in cutting wheat
when the grains are in the dough state
Why the milky state grains should weigh
more than those in the dough state is an
unanswered question.

Frozen Food Deteriorates.
From Sanitary Record.


Meats frozen and kept in cold storage
for long periods do not undergo organic
changes in the ordinary sense-that is,
they do not putrefy, soften or smell bad,
but they certainly do deteriorate in some
intangible way. After certain time frozen
meat loses some life principle, essential to
its nourishing quality. Such meat lack
flavor; it is not well digested or assimilated.
Its savorless condition cannot be remedied
or successfully disguised by the use of
sauces and condiments. Those who eat
cold storage food for any length of time
develop diarrheal disorders, lose in weight,
and would eventually starve to death unless
change of diet was made. The same
reasoning applies to timed fruit and vege-
tables. They should not be used after a
certain period has elapsed. Especially
should people be warned against using stale
eggs and old milk and cream. Milk and
cream are kept for days, rancid butter is
washed and treated chemically; but all
food, and especially cold storage food, is
damaged by long keeping, and will not
nourish the body properly. There IS the
greatest abundance of food, but it does not
satisfy.

Backs Judgment with Money.

james Fisher, Jr, who has large
stock farm at Eastman, Crawford county,
Wis, is willing to back up his confidence
in William Jennings Bryan with his good
money. The Daily News of Chicago
publishes the following communication from
him

any Republican that Bryan will beat Nc

I will also bet one-haH Of this amount
that Bryan will carry Wisconsin by more

he will carry Wisconsin by 10, 900 votes.

He Wouldn't Tell.

This argument by analogy or hypothet
ical case is often dangerous. A very
stately and digniied clergyman used tc
tell story illustrative of the risk of this
method. One of his parishioners wal
much addicted to drink, and one night the
vicar met him coming home in such con
dition that he demonstrated with him on
the spot, and by way of clinching his ar
gument asked "What would you say
if you were to see me reeling down the
road in state of hopeless intoxication I?
The offender appeared to be deeply i'm
pressed and answered fervently: "a

The trouble in China will seriously affect
the market for ginseng, which is largely ex-
ported from Garrett county.
Charcoal burning is becoming large and

giving employment to large number OF peo-
pie.
The negro with his razor and pistol is very
much in evidence this season. Quite u num-
Der are now in Jail awaiting trial and the
campmeetings haven't begun. May be it is
owing to the intense heat.
Reports from various parts of the State in
dictate that the storms of last week caused
greater destruction of barns and crops than
for many years past, and also the loss of a
greater number lives.
A large hay and grain barrack on the farm
of Charles T. Cockey, near Pikesville, Balh-
more county, was struck by lightning about
p. IN. Monday, and burned, together with 800
bushels of wheat and 30 tons of hay.
AT Ocean City, last week, an unknown fish
was caught by Capt. Ludlam, and has given it
to the Academy of Sciences, Baltimore, weighs
about 200 pounds. 1t has fins like ears and
its tail works as if on hinges. The tail is used
like propeller and to guide rs well as navi-
gate. Nothing like it was ever seen in these
waters before. To feed it has to raise its body
upward.
By the strike in the Cumberland coal region
the miners have lost 81, 900, 600, the railroads
in freight 81, $50, 900, and the owners of the
mines l, 500, 900 tons of coal for which they
had orders. The money to keep the strike up
has been contributed by miners in other dis
tricts, and ''the knockers who encourage the
men to hold out receive the greatest benefit,
as their expenses are paid from The general
fund.
1t is understood that the Baltimore x Ohio
has a contract to transport &C, 000, 900 bushels
of wheat from Chicago to the seaboard for ex-
port. Eighteen engineers and iremen from
the Chicago division are in Cumberland to
learn the grades on the third section in order
to help in the great rush when il comes. This
enormous shipment would require 60, 900 ears
with Il capacity of GO, 600 pounds each, making
in all $500, 900, 600 pounds.
James Vickers, father of the noted criminal,
Allen Vickers, fugitive from justice and who
| is wanted for breaking into the freight house
of the Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic
Railway Company, was arrested at Cambridge,
Dorchester county, last week, as he was about
to board sailboat in Cambridge harbor, with
the alleged intention of looiing the cabin and
vessel. The fathers reputation is as black as
that of the son, and his crimes and ofenses
date back for long period. He is over 80
years old, but still clings to his nefarious
deeds for livelihood. When arrested arti-
cles proven to have been stolen we're found
in his boat.

Cloven Hoof of Empire.

Charles F., Lummis, in recent editorial in
the Land of Sunshine, draws an admirable
distinction and one that should be observed
and commended to the attention of others.
He says !:
People who try TO cover the cloven hoof
of empire with the petticoats of Expansion
are as careless Of the dictionary as OF the con-
stitution. The Philippines do not mean ex-
pansion. 1t does not expand the fire of free
dom to pour water upon it. A man is not ex-
banded by filling his pockets with apples, nor
by putting bushel basket over his head.
Expansion is enlargementin kind. If the ex-
Spanish colonies applied for admission to this
republic and we accepted them, that would be
expansion. What is proposed to do with them
is no more like expansion than the present
administration is like Lincoln's."

The drought in the Northwestern States

The drought in the Northwestern States
has caused shortage in the lumber out
put as well as in the wheat crop. Owing
to the low condition of the streams the
lumbermen have been unable to get their
logs to the mills, and as consequence it
is alleged that there will be shortage of
100, 600, 900 feet in the supply of sawed
lumber. It is said that the Mississippi
River and its tributary streams are now
lower than they have been at any time
within the past forty years. A heavy ad-
vance in the price of lumber will no doubt
follow the failure of the usual supply from
the Northwest.

Italy's King Murdered

MONA, ITALY, July 29.-King Hum
bert was assassinated near here last even
ing by man named Angelo Bressi de

Majesty died in few minutes after being
shot. He had come to his royal palace
