WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-Chief WiIkie.
~ the secret service, has received a tele-
gram announcing that Walter Dimmick.
iormer chief clerk of the San Francisco
'hint, has been arrested by secret serv-
Zee officials there upon two charges. One
was preferred by Secret Service Agent
George Hazen, charging Dimmick with
the theft of $4,000 in gold in the United
States mint in San Francisco. The other
charge was made by Supt. Leach, ac
cusing Dimmick of misappropriation of
funds placed in his hands for the pur-
chase of supplies.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 1O.-Ever since
July 4, when the discovery was made that
six sacks containing $4,000 were missing
from the mint vault, Walter H. Dimmick.
former chief clerk of the United States
mint, has been prominent figure in the
investigation. When he was dismissed
from the mint, it was stated by Stunt
Leach that ii was not on account of the
robbery but in pursuance of a decision
made before the robbery, and discovery
of the robbery prolonged his retention.
Since the robbery, Dimmick has been un-

private life. Dimmick had access TO the
vault. In memorandum book in his
pocket the secret service men found he
noted the combination to the upper lock

Cole alone knew this. An expert found
that the time lock was not working. and

New Irrigation Laws.

Notices are being sent out by the
state engineer to owners of irrigating
'litches calling attention to the new
avs which go into effect July I5 and
July 20. Several radical changes are
made and it is the intention of the en-
.,neer's office to see that they are en-
forced. In times past it has been the
practice Of men owning bitches to
open the headgates after nightfall and
subtract a flow Of water for six or eight
lourS without the neighbOrs knowing
It. 1t was almost impossible to secure
conviction. Under the new law the
presence of water in "a mans ditch at
rer his headgate has been ordered
closed is taken as evidence that he
stole water. The law compels the
owner of lateral to place a mcasur
ing device at the headgate whereby
his flow Of water can properly be meas
lred and regulated. If a man refuses
10 put in Il measuring device his head
gate may be nailed down. thus depriV-
ing him of water for his crops until
he complies with the law.-Field and

CHILDREN AND CRIME.
The Part Which Heredty and Environ
ment Play.

Des Moines, July 5.-Heredity and
environment of the inmates OF the
state industrial school are handled by
Chairman Kline of the Iowa board OF
control in bulletin just issued. TNe
statistics on which conclusions arH
based are of an official character.
In the COL cases reported by the diff
ferent superintendent 800 have one
or both parents dead. In these lack
of careful training might be given as a
reason for the bad habits of the chill
dren The next table, however, puts
very different light on the matter,
for it shows that in over one-half of
the cases one or both of the parents
were either unmarried, divorced or
separated In 80 per cent one or
both parents were incorporate in the
use of intoxicants; in 60 per cent the
environments of the children were bad
previous to their admission to the
schools. In so per cent their associ-
ates were bad, and in about the same
number of cases the habits of the in
mates had been bad. About 80 per
cent had received practically no edu-
cation before admission.
The statistics showing the career Of
| IIGlI ItldIlpSS were llO lCoS ob5hiASSAS
About 25 per cent of the entire num-
Der had had either brothers, sisters or
near relatives in industrial or reform
schools. About one-third had relatives
in institutions for the feeble-minded,
asylums and penitentiaries. The moth
ers of the inmates in the great major
ity of cases averaged far better than
the fathers In 264 cases the latter
We're addicted to the use of liquor
while the former were In
only thirty-three cases. Many
families were found to be represented
|, in the industrial schools by two OF
more members.
, From his study of the prevailing con
ditions, Chairman Kline draws the fol
, lowing conclusions:
That the nature of the parents is
potent factor in shaping the future
of their children.
i THAT the breaking up of the famil!

circle by the death of one or both par
ents, thereby perhaps turning children
out as objects of the worlds care and
charity, creates an environment in
which they are likely to be led astray
from the paths of rectitude.
THAT the unhappy conjugal rela-
lions of parents resulting in such a
large number of divorces and separa-
lions, is, perhaps, the greatest single
cause for the large population of these
schools.
"That closely connected with the last
cause is the intemperence of one or
both of the parents.
THAT previous environments have
been productive OF many inmates OF
these schools.
THAT many Of these children have
been permitted to run the streets when
they should have been in school"
AS remedy of these conditions,
Chairman Kline suggests that COM
pulsory education would help in many
ways. He is not of the opinion that il
will do everything, but that it would
be great help. 1t is also suggested
! that provision must be made for the
employment of the children outside o.
school hours, but especially through
/ the summer vacations Courses OF in
struction in the use of tools are sug
| gested.

COLLEGE BRED MEN AND THE
FARM.

In the past there has been very little
in common between the college educa-
ton and the farm. In fact, it may be
said that to give a boy college educa-
ton was to absolutely divorce him
from all interest in farm life and farm
work So for years the colleges have
been busy turning out doctors, law
yers, parsons, teachers and the like
until the ranks of all these professions
are full to Overlooking. Thousands Of
Young men are each year finding out
that it is far easier to acquire collie
giate equipment for these professions
than it is to find place in this old
world where they may use their knoWl-
edge in a practical way. We wish to
say that there is absolutely nothing in
harmonious between knowledge and
agriculture. On the contrary. no bust
ness or profession today offers more
Inducements to the rightly educated
young man than this of agriculture.
Science is doing fully as much for the
farm as it is for the factory, mine or
laboratory The financial rewards
wlrich follow science and intelligence
as applied to agriculture are as sub
stantial as those in any other line. A
young friend of ours who has just
finished full classical course at one of
our best colleges and who has been
casting about for the choice of pro-
fession told us that after looking the
field over thoroughly he had made up
his mind TO supplement his classical
course with an agricultural course OF
study and then operate a 800 acre
stock farm upon modern principles.
Infinitely wiser is this course than
wearing the best years of bis life away
to get a standing and a renumerative
practice as some lawyer or physician.
He said. Il am going to learn how to
raise good stock that will sell for big
price" VIII he succeed? OF course he
will, and there are hundreds of young
men who would do well to follow his
example.

A Nuisance.

We drove by the place of an all round
agricultural nuisance the other day. 1t
was the hcme and the farm of the
shiftless, ornery fellow who raises each
year enough weeds to atl:ict Whole
neighborkood. His cat and flax helus
were yellow with wild mustard, there
was q quarter of an acre OF burdocks
growing around his tumble down earns
and sheds. his cornfeld was q mat OF
pigeon grass, cockleburs and morning
glories. while the highway in front OF
his place was a forest of wild hemp
six feet tall. This nan was very sure
that he knew just how this government
should be run and was rated as author
ity among the class who are always
"ag'in' the existing order of things.
His talk did no harm. perhaps, but his
perennial crop OF weeds did.

more calculated to make q man pro-
