REEVES Confessed,
EXPOSING NELLY,
Turned over About $4,000 That Was
Given Him to Perform Ger
tain Service.

HAVANA, May f9.-W. H. Reeves,
deputy auditor of the island. made a
confession and gave up 81, 800 given te
him by G. +. w. Nicely, the arrested
financial agent of posts at Havana, to
perform certain services the day he left.
General Wood and the postal inspectors
refuse to disclose the nature of the CON
fessien, barely admitting that the con-
fession had been made.
1t is claimed that 81 400 more will be
recovered
General Wood says that the report
from Muncie, Ind, that nearly 81 ,000,-
600 worth of stamps have been printed
here and sent for distribution to Cuban
postoffices can be regarded as canard.
There is nothing here to show that any
such counterfeit stamps have been sent.
1t is believed now that the whole story
is known, and that the amount of the
defalcations will fall between 800, Zoo
and 1925, 900
Those who know the situation best
say that the confession of Reeves was
the only link required in the chain of
evidence, although the principal state
ments he has made will require inves-
tigation before they can be acted upon,
as it is generally believed that his accu.
sation is of such startling character as
to render it unwise to proceed before
being absolutely certain of other evi.
dence to corroborate it.

he keeps abreast of the times. Hisstoca
is of the best breeds, his animals the
best cared for, his buildings are ar
ranged with view of economy in spac.
and time in doing chores as well as
hardness. His farm tools are adapted
TO his locality. and everything about
the farm is kept up running smoothly.
Go that mans sitting-room and you
will find number of agricultural pa

library and you will find works by the
best writers upon farm ard farming
topics. The papers will show the
marks of careful reading. as will also
the books The papers will show many
clippings, and the books much mark
ing and marginary notes.
Talk TO him, and you will find there
few things about the farm in which he
can not bear cre,iitable examination.
His views are sound, and where he
speaks from actual experience il is the
result of intelligent observation and OF
intelligently applied theories. He is a
valuable man in the aeighborhood. as
his less diligent and stadicus neigh
bors can learn of him. He is always
willing to share his knowledge and
the results of his experiments with
his neighbors. He knows that the up
building CT the neighborhood is to his
advantage as well as theirs.-Farm and

FIRST MINNESOTA BOOK.
A Translation or the Bible Was the
Earliest Publication In
the state.

The interesting fact is brought to
the attention of the Pioneer Press by
Rev. S. w. Dickinson, agent for the
American Bible society, that the first
book ever printed in Minnesota was
a Bible, and that this was printed in
1886, some - years before the issue
of newspaper in st. Paul. The
Bible referred to was in the Ojibway
language and was printed on the mis-
sion press at Lake Pokegama, Pine
county, under the supervision Of Rev.
Mr.. Aver, who likewise had charge
of the mission farm at that point.
There also was made the first attempt
to establish free school in Mime
sofa. The foundation of the old Io,
church building in which this was
held can still be traced, says the st.
Paul Pioneer Press.
1t is significant Ct the eagerness
characterizing American Christianity
that the educational, social and COM
mercial development of which Mime
sotans are now so proud had its be-
ginning in the effort to put the Bible
in the hands of the red men. The
society represented by Mr.. Dickinson
which is undoubtedly the greatest
organization in the world for the dis
tribution of the Scriptures-kas filed
its 81 years of history with many such
incidents as this of the setting up of
a Bible press i'm the wilds Of Mime
sofa. 1t now proposes large undertake
ings in the new areas of the Ameri-
can republic, in which it will Doubt
less have the cordial support of all
who believe in the beneficent in
fiuence of the Good Book.

WORK OF A JEALOUS DOCTOR.
The Inhumnn Way In Which \ Promi.
neat Philadelphia Man Was
Made Blind.

Henry Askin, once wealthy and
prominent man in Philadelphia, but
now totally blind and an inmate of
the Masonic home, tells remarkable
story of the fearful result of one ply
sician's jealousy of another, says the
New York Mail and Express. Mr.. As
kin declines to give the name of the
doctor in question.
He says that in 1878 his eyes began
to trouble him, and the efforts of his
physician, who was also his friend at
that time, seemed to be unavailing.
Growing alarmed, Mr.. Askin called in
another doctor, whose treatment was
effective. The first physician contin-
ued to visit him, but did not prescribe
for him. Suddenly Mr.. Askin's eye
sight began to fail, and the second
physician was powerless to help him,
being finally compelled to admit that
his patient was incurably blind.
Thirteen years after Mr.. Askin lost
his sight the doctor who first attend
ed him died. On his deathbed he con-
fessed that, being jealous of the Sec
ond physicians success with the case,
he had drugged Mr.. Askin's medicine
and produced blindness. from which
the victim never recovered.

WORMS IN FLOWER POTS

Those WAo Keep
Plants.


Earthworms, or angleworms al the,

trouble the flower-grower. 1t has beer
a disputed point as to whether or not
they do any real harm. or whether they
are not of some value in assisting drain
age. / think they are better out of the
soil than in. Being of a somewhat
shiny nature like snails, only not sc
bad, they impart to the soil, by con.
stantly working through it, much the
same consistency as that induced by
blowing or cultivating land when it is
too wet and pasty. 1t seems to kill the
natural life and friableness of the soil
making it tough and putty-like. When
practicable it is we'll to repot the plant,
using new soil. II during the winter,
