Thievery at MdnhG.

Interest in he fate and capture OF
AguiDaldo is we'll nigh overshadowed
in Minila by sensational developments
present and prospective, of frauds in
the commissary department. How
widely these extend has not yet
been ascertained, but enough is
already known to justify the belief
that they are far-reaching.
Capt. Frederick J. Barrows, of the
Thirteenth Volunteer Infantry, quar-
termaster of the Department Of
Southern Luzou, together with seven
commissary sergeants, seven civilian
clerks, a prominent gov
eminent contractor, the assistant
manager of the Holel Oriente, the
proprietors of three of the largest
bakeries in Manila, number OF store
keepers, and other persons, have
been arrested.
The investigation has scarcely be-
gun; but thousands of sacks of -four,
a quantity of bacon, all bearing gov
eminent marks, have been Sound in
the possession Of unauthorized per-
sons.
1t is alledged that the contractor
in question, who has been doirg a
business approximating 500 600 per
month, has spent large sums in en-
tertaining officers.
A prominent commissary officer is
accused of leading n scandalously
immoral life.
1t is asserted that large quantities
of stores have been lost or stelen in
transit, and also that there is short
age in the commissary depot.
New scandals are developed daily
Illicit transactions have been traced
back TO June, 1900, and it is possible
that there are others of an earlier
date.
The exhorbitant tariff on provisions
makes the surreptitious sale OF com
missary supplies immensely profitable
1t is understood that the United
States officers may be arrested.

The Farmers Institute.

II is sourse of profound regret
that every farmer in the county did
not hear the three splendid lectures
delivered here last Saturday. 1t will
be remembered that an appropria-
ton was made by the Legislature,
following the lead of many other
States, for Farmers Institutes, to be
held, one in county. over the State.
These Institutes are in charge of
Mr.. Koiner, the State Commissioner
OF Agriculture, who was here on
Saturday. Pr Koiner secured the
services OF two gentlemen from Penn
sylvania, who were here on Saturday.
Mr.. s. f. Barber. practical stock
feeder and dairyman and Prof S. b.
Heiges, member of the State Board
OF agriculture, of bis State, and who
was United States Pomologist of
pennsylvania under Mr.. Cleveland.
and also President of the State Hor-
tlculture Society. These gentlemen
are all 'away up" in their callings,
and their talks were highly entertain
ing, aud must have been beneficial
to the farmers who we're SO fortunate
as to be present. 1t seems to have
been the universal sentiment of those
present, that the appropriation
should be SO increased as to allow
these Institutes to be held two DAYS
instead of one, each year. We can
guarantee a full attendance of the
farmers next year.

Help Your Town,

Every citizen of a town or village
should be interested in the growth
and business enterprise Of his native
town and we doubt whether there Is
any citizen but desire to see his town
grow and prosper. Among the many
factors that go to a real live and up
to-date town is the newspaper. The
mechanic, the merchant and in fact all
can be of value to their home town, by
heartily support and cooperation
with the factor that heralds the
growth and business enterprise of
its citizens. The factors that is surely
but silently booming the opportuni-
ties offered by town is the news
paper published therein. The merchant
that fails to cooperate with the
newspaper in advertising to the world
that his town is a real live town is
most certainly dull to his own in
terest. The newspaper sets forth the
business moral and social features
that belong to the to- n. Yet many
people are ready to grasp the
opportunities brought by that factor
without assisting in any way the
local paper. These ere facts for the
non advertisers to consider.-Valley

used to a great extent all over the
country. A number OF railroads, In

OF their own In which the ties are
picked How to preserve the ties and
add to their life and durability has
been a serious problem for railroad
operatives ever since the early days OF
transportation by rail. The constant
wear and tear OF ties has necessItated
their replacement as soon as they were
perceptlbly worn. A solution OF chic

large alright cylinders. the air is
pumped out and the ties are heated by
steam. The chemicals are then pump

Cab Service in
~


I have spent most of the summer in
Germany, says a returned American,
and 1 am convinced that the Germans
perhaps more than any other peple
have solved the problem of living.
Without going into the details of good
cooking, open air life, good hotels,
cleanliness, %cheapness and general
comfort, there is one thing about Ser
man cities that appeals to me, The
especial object Of resentment and OBJ
lection that l cherish in this country
is the American cabman and his ex-
orbitant prices. In London and Paris
the tariff for the employment of cabs
is more or less clearly defined, but
still disputes may arise. In Germany,
however, they have solved the prob
lem absolutely. They have attached
to every cab, carriage or public We
hicle a sort of automatic arrangement
on the box directly behind the driver,
and in plain sight Of the passenger. 1t
explains upon its face that 1t registers
the tariff for the hire of the vehicle.
When you get in the wagon the driver
adjusts this register. If any baggage
is carried the face Of the register pro-
claims how much he is allowed for
every piece of luggage, and he rings
It M before he starts. Then the tax
imeter is attached to the wheels Of the
wagon in some way. so that every rev.
olution OF the wheel Is registered. IN
stead Of registering the distance gone,
or the number of the revolutions of the
wheel, the taximeter registers the
charge for the distance gone. II
changes in 10 3fennig jumps. Ten
pfennigs IN money Is about 21k
cents. The result is that a person is
charged about 21s cents for every
eighth Of a mile. The machines are
absolute and accurate, and the work
ings are so open that even the most
obtuse can realize the fairness Of It.
This is spoken of merely as a hint to
the municipal authorities Of the va
rious American cities in control Of
hack rates. The establishment OF a
taxlmeter system Of this kind would
be of lnestimable value to the people
who patronize them. and In the end
would be Of great value to the hack
men themselves, as, assured Of honest
treatment, thousands Of people would
use cabs who now refrain owing to the
wild license for charging that the
American hackman enjoys.
