year-old daughter of a motorman, liv-

addressed a crowd Of union men in
South st. Louis, and then, when they
had gone wild with enthusiasm, she
led them on a march to the Carondelet
po~wer-house. Some Of her followers
even procured her a pony to ride, and
the marchers took up the air OF her

that several detachments of the posse

strikers found their progress blocked
by a solid phalanx Of armed men. and

The ottoman Empire One of the Richie,
Countries In the World.
The Ottoman empire is, in potential
resources, probably the richest country
in the world next to the United States
says Golfers Weekly. For years
American and Turkish statesmen have
been endeayoring with all their power
to foster what little trade their coun-
tries have. and to create new trade
channels to commercially connect the
republic and the empire. These en-.
deavors have already borne good fruit,
and the future possibilities in that d.
rection are infinite. The mutual rela-
lions of commerce amount already to
millions, and 1t would be most unfor.
tunate that an untoward event should
disturb in their growth these promis-
ing shoots of trade, and bring about a
distrust which would cause the orig.
mating of new branches of trade to be
made impossible for many years to
come. The feeling of fellowship among
nations is to a large extent sentiment
tai, especially when there is no posi-
bic point of hostile contact. The
Turks have been educated to know

Prospect OF the Wheat Crop.

Ever since the necessity of blowing
np a considerable portion OF the lane
sown in winter wheat last fall became
apparent, more or less gloomy fore
casts have been made concerning the
amount of wheat that would eventual
iy be harvested. From the govern
ment crop report recently issued II is
learned that the deficiency thus pro-
duced will be much greater than had
been anticipated. Previous reports
had shown a marked diminution in the
productive field, but the June report
brought the total figures OF the aban-
doned acreage up to 5.240,0 900, equal to
II l-3 per cent Of the territory sown In
wheat last fall. Not only was there
this large reduction in the field, but
after the plowed-up land had been TAX
en- out OF the computation the condi-
ton of the remainder was found to
have fallen from $50 on the LIST OF last

is we'll known in Official and social
circles in Washington ana New York.
She went to Dakota in 1887 and estab-
lished an Indian mission school sew
cnteen miles north OF Chamberlain, on
the Crow Creek and Winnebago Indian
reservation. After the first two years
this school. which had been named
Grace mission, was transformed into
a government contract school. In the
charging and expanding Of the school
she always received every encourage
men from the officials OF the Indian
bureau in Washington. Her contract
with the government did not expire
until June, 1897, but early in that year,
at the solicitation of friends, she de-
cided to withdraw from the manage
inent Of the school. The bitter fight
waged in congress at that time against
contract schools had considerable in
fiuence in her decision. She informed
the Indian Office that II the govern
ment was willing to buy her school
she was willing to sell. Special Agent
Slater OF the Indian department was
sent to investigate, and as the result
OF his report the government paid Miss
Howard a satisfactory price for her
interest In the school.
Shortly after retiring from the
school Miss Howard purchased a cat

since been engaged in cattle raising.

fruit of his disordered brain, and one
day a man who visited him and saw
the plans was greatly taken with them
He obtained permission, patented and
put the anchor on the market. 1t was
favorably received and at the end OF
two years the invention had brought
him $4,000. Half OF this the capital
