Washington, Sept. 27.-Brig. Gen.
Funston, in his annual report of the
department of the Colorado, declares
that the recent anti-canteen legisla-
ton of congress has lowered the dis
cipline of the army, ruined scores of
good soldiers and enriched saloon

plorable increase in offenses, partic-
ularly desertion, attributed to the

THE CROP REPORT.
Conditions Prevailing Threughout
the Country ~ Reported to the
Agricultural Department.

Washington, Sept. 24.-Followingis
the agricultural departments weekly
summary of crop conditions:
1.-THE temperature conditions were
generally favorable in all districts
east Of the Rocky mountains al
though the week was decidedly cool
In the south Atlantic states and Mis-
souri, valley. Heavy rains retarded
work in Florida, portions of the
central and west gulf states. and
portions of the upper Mississippi
and Missouri valleys, while large
part of the middle and south Allan
tic states needs rain for fall plow-
Ing and pasturage. The middle and
southern Rocky mountain districts
needed rains. The week has been
generally cool on the Pacific coast,
with rainfall slightly in excess of the
average in portions of Oregon and
Washington. Frosts occurred in the
Rocky mountain districts, Missouri
and upper Mississippi valleys, and
lake region, but were less damaging
than those of the previous week.
"No further material damage by
frosts bas been sustained Ivy the corn
crop during the week. The reports
indicate. however, that previous esti-
mates of injury by the frosts of the
18th and 18th have been conservative
ly stated and that large part of the
late crop over the northern dis
tricts has been very seriously in
jured. Over the southern portion Of
the corn belt an exceptionally fine
crop is now assured.
ut will require about ten days to
mature late tobacco in Kentucky.
Elsewhere cutting has been finished
and the crop is curing satisfactorily.
"In Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa,
Missouri, Kansas and portions of Illi-
nois the reports indicate good yield
of apples of fine quality, but in the
Ohio valley, middle Atlantic states
and New England a generally light
yield is indicated.
"Plowing and fall seeding have pro-
crossed favorably except in portions
of the middle Atlantic states, where
the soil was too dry.

LAURA BIGGAR ACCUSED.
Heirs of Millionaire Henry M. Den-
nett Charge Actress with Bold
Plot 10 Defraud.

Long Branch, N. j., Sept. 81
Laura Biggar, the actress, recently
heiress to s75OOo0, is supposed to be
N fugitive from justice and may not
get n dollar of the great fortune be-
queathed her. The police are seek
ing her to arrest her on the charge
of being party to bold conspir-
acy to get possession of the entire
estate of Henry M. Bennett, of Pitts
burg, estimated to be worth $780,
900. BY the will of the deceased Miss
Diggar was to have received 60 per
cent. of the estate as a reward for
having been Mr.. Bennett's faithful
nurse and companion for Ave years
before his death.
At the same time warrants were
sworn out for DIR. C. C. Hendrick, OF
Bayonne, who has been both physi-
clan and lawyer for Miss Biggar,
and for Justice of the Peace Samuel
Stanton, who recently made oath
that he married Mr.. Bennett and
Miss Biggar on January 2, 1898.
Both men were arrested and each re-
leased on $1,000 bonds.
The alleged conspiracy consisted in
an attempt to prove herself his wife
by means of forged certificate Of
ma rriage and by an attempt to foist
npon the estate bogus posthumous
child of the millionaire. Had she sue
'cceded in proving that she was the
wife and mother she pretended to be
she would have been entitled under
Z: the law to all the Bennett estate. At
the hearing Friday the situation took
an amazing turn. 1t was shown that
the posthumous child was still facti-
tious, that the name of dead person
had been used as n witness to append
to n bogus marriage certificate, and
that an attempt had been made to
bride the secretary of the board of
health in Hoboken to date back n
record OF the false ceremony. Even
before this testimony was given Miss
Biggar's attorney had asked leave of
the court to withdraw the suit. War
rants charging conspiracy were i'm
'mcdiately sworn out.

NO EXPERIMENTS.
Secretary shaw Makes . Statement
ConceTni.g Treasury Affairs and
DispeIs Various Humors.

Washington, Sept. 26.-Secretary
Shaw has given out the following.
statements:
money once covered into the treas
ury land tins, of course, includes the
sub-treasuries) cannot, thereafter, be
deposited in banks. All customs re-
ceipts are by law payable to the treas
ury and sub-treasuries. The only fund
therefore available in banks is inter-
nal revenue and miscellaneous receipts
before they have been actually covered
into the treasury. These amount to
about half million per day.
t"Ail rumors of experiments have
been unauthorized by the treasury
department. 1t is to be hoped that
the public will place no credence in
vagaries started by irresponsible and
ENTRUSTED men of the street. 1t IS
also hoped that the country will I'M
derstand that the treasury depart
ment, to the extent of its ability, will
stand by the banks, east and west,
north and south, and it is hoped, also,
that the banks will stand by every
business and every interest that is
worth protecting. a.,
''The only way to get money out Of
the treasury into circulation, after it
has been actually covered in, is by the
payment of legal obligations of the
government. These may be antici-
pated. The department did anticipate
the October interest, It now offers to
anticipate all interest maturing be-
tween October / and the end of the
fiscal year, if presented within GO
days, at rebate of two-tenths of one
per cent. per month, which is at the
rate of "a per cent. per annum. The
amount maturing before June 30, 1903,
is in round figures $20,650,000. The
profit to the government, if this of
fer shall be accepted, will be in round
figures, 100000.
"There will be no experiments tried.
and no policy adopted, until after ma
ture elaboration and no feelers will
be sent out Anything to the contrary
should be discredited."

SHOW LESS ACTIVITY.
Dsrently Awed by Presence
of Troops.

Philadelphia, Sept. 27.-No dis
turbances of moment occurred in the
strike region Friday. There was a
small riot at Centralia, In the south
ern end of Columbia county, where
some strikers attacked nonunion
men who were on their way to the
mines, and Sheriff Knorr has asked
Gov. Stone to send troops to quell
the disturbance. Thus far no troops
and Wyoming valleys universal quiet
prevails, and the soldiers were not
called upon to suppress the disor-
der, while at Forest City, Susque-
hanna county, the extreme northern
end of the anthracite coal belt, the
presence of the soldiers has had the
effect of aweing the rioters.
At Lebanon, where the employees
of the American Steel &, Wire COM
pany have been fighting against the
importation of laborers, there is a
temporary truce, with n likelihood
that all differences will be settled
and the men shortly return to work.
Knorr, of Columbia county, has
asked Gov. Stone to send troops to
Centralia. The governor referred
the matter to Gen. Goblin, and the
latter advised the sheriff to make
further effort to preserve peace with
the resources at hand. Strikers
Friday held up three trolley cars
filed with nonunion men and stoned
the workmen. Guards from neigh
boring collieries were called and
drove the rioters back. A work
mans train was held up and those
on board were warned to quit work
under threats of being harshly dealt
with. Centralia is small COM
munity, and Gen. Goblin says the men
who have been violating the law
there are known to the sheriff and
his deputies, and instead OF applying
for troops the latter should arrest
the lawbreakers and put them in
jail.

one that can make the best sugar in
the least possible time with the least

of galvanized iron or steel, copper or
tin. They are usually supported on iron
arches lined with brick, but sometimes
the arches are made entirely of brick
Storage tanks, draw tanks, strip tanks,
buckets and pals are Of galvanized
steel, tin or wood. We consider galva-
nized steel the superior article because
it will not rust. Bucket covers can be
of wood or tin; spouts, steel or tin.
Take a sugar place Of 5000 trees or,
rather, one that uses 5000 buckets.
When the "boss" thinks it is time to
sugar" the men are set to tapping the
trees A three-eighths or one-half inch
bit is used, and In large trees the hole
is bored about two inches deep, in
smaller trees only about one and half
inches. Spouts are driven or screwed
in, buckets hung to each spout and
covers, if they have them.
Some trees are tapped in two or three
and oftentimes four places, hanging a
bucket to each spout of course. Then,
the weather being right, the sap runs,
and the teams are started as soon as
possible, for the quicker the sap is
made into sugar the better the sugar is.
Men with pals holding sixteen
quarts go to each tree, collect the sap
and empty it into the draw tank,
which is being hauled about on a
''sugar sled" by pair Of horses. These
tanks hold anywhere from twenty-five
to fifty pailfuls. When a load is Sc
cured, the team is driven to the sugar
house, and the sap, by means of four
inch pipes, is drawn from the draw
tank to the storage tank.
The storage tanks are placed on
staging on the outside of the sugar
house and connected with the evap-
orators by rubber hose or iron pipe,
the flow of sap from storage tank to
evaporators being regulated by auto
matte valves. Thus the sap enters one
end of the evaporation, working back
and forth through partitions and cor
rugations till it reaches the other end
of the evaporation, when it is drawn off
as "sirup."
The sap is not "handled" any from
the time the men pour it into the draw
tanks until it comes out a finished
article. e., maple strip at eleven
pounds to the gallon.
This may be put away in strip tanks
and allowed to cool and settle, and

Items About Alfalfa.

American Agriculturist finds that
several years ago alfalfa was tried in
Louisiana by the experiment station
and gave satisfactory results. When
sowed in October on well prepared
land at the rate of fifteen to twenty
pounds of seed per acre, a first cutting
can be secured in March or April. AS
much as eight cuttings a year may be
expected.
This legume seems to do fairly well
in certain sections of Ontario, but as
rule it is not generally satisfactory
The hairy vetch yields a much greater
amount of green fodder and is in many
ways more desirable. 1t is much more
profitable than the common spring
vetch.
Alfalfa grows well on various kinds
of soil, provided the subsoil is open and
porous. A rich, somewhat sandy loan,
with deep and loose or gravelly sub
soil, well supplied with lime, is most
favorable.
Alfalfa in New Jersey was best cured
by leaving it in the swath long enough
to become we'll wilted, then putting
into shocks to complete the curing
process.
Alfalfa will last four to ten or more
years, depending upon the character
of the soil, methods of manuring and
cutting.

The Working Cow.

In some parts of Europe they make a
practice of working cows in the yoke

that possibly as they want milk they
are careful to feed well and not over
work. This led to a series of expert
ments at Stockholm, Sweden. in test
ing the milk of COWS so treated, and
they found that the milk was reduced
in quantity by the exercise, but its
quality was so much richer in butter
fat that the working cows actually pro-
duced more butter than cows equally

they found in gathering their food in
the pastures. This opens up a new
possibility, remarks American Cultiva-
