KNOX THINKS NOT.
Attorney General Guesses Regarding
Alleged Lottery Case.

Washington, Aug. 24.-Attorney
General Knox has rendered to the
postmaster general an opinion on the
question of whether a certain western
daily paper violated the law prohib-
iting the use of the mails for advertis-
ing lotteries, gift concerts and similar
enterprises. The paper some time ago
inaugurated a guessing contest adver-
Using it would give 1900 prizes ag-
gregating $4,000 to persons making
the nearest estimates of the number of
paid admissions to the pan-American
exposition from the day of opening to
the day of closing. The attorney gen.
eral says that unless it is plainly for
hidden by law the remedy is with con-
gross and not with the department
He says that the contestants must go
into careful inquiry as to the facts
about the exposition, public interest
and attendance to date, and continues
as follows:
Such estimates, therefore, while
necessarily dependent in many re-
spects upon chance, are likewise af-
fected by the intelligent calculations
of the thoughtful observer. A fair con-
struction Of the words dependent upon
lot OF chance excludes estimates
which were based upon mental calcu-
lations, even though the factors which
enter into such calculation may be I'M
certain and matters of conjecture"

Great Increase in Number of Found
lings in New York.
New York. Aug. 24.-All records for
the number of little waits found de-
serted in the doorways and halls Of
New York have been passed over dur
ing the last month. At Bellevue
hospital, where these little human
derelicts are sent. a representative Of
superintendent Blair stated that dur
ing August the number Of foundlings
brought in had averaged seven a
week. Yesterday three were picked
up.
A peculiar and touching fact with
regard to these unknowns is that in
nearly every case some little trinket,
the gift of a loving but unfortunate
mother, is found on the babe. In one
case is little ring held on by a
soiled piece Of ribbon fastened about
the wrist; in another it is but a
cheap pin marked Dear" fastening
the bib to the dress.
These little fondlings, eight of
whom were in the hospital yesterday,
present pitiful sight. On the faces
of some are unmistakable signs of the
summer DEATH" They are seldom
in the hospital more than a day. A
Catholic and Protestant society,
the Guild of the Infant Savior and
the state charities aid, alternate in
receiving the children. They are
usually placed at once in homes. OF
the three found yesterday and
brought to the hospital two were
placed in homes before night.

HOW THE WHEAT
IS NOW YIELDING
Past Week Favorable for North
Dakota Harvesters.

Bismark, N. D.. Aug. 24-The past
week has been very favorable for
harvesting, and work in the fields has
been pushed with vigor. The tenn
perature was slightly higher than
the average, with occasional light
showers, accompanied by light hail in
the eastern portion of the state, doing
no harm, however. Wheat harvest is
well under way in all sections and
nearly finished in the southern por-
ton. Some wheat has been threshed
and the yield is generally reported
as disappointing, the berry being
shrunken as a general thing and the
heads not well filed Oats, rye and
barley are all harvested, except some
little late sown, but only little of it
has been threshed as yet. Corn is
still backward in spite of the great
Improvement is has made since the
dry hot weather commenced, and
although it is growing rapidly, it will
take some time yet before it will
mature. Flax remains much the same
as noted in former reports; it has
made some advancement in the north
ern portions, but as a rule does not
amount to much in other sections.
Haying is about finished in the east
ern part of the state, but great deal
remains to be put UP yet in the west
ern portion.
