August Treasury Record.

Washington, Sept. 2.-The receipts
of the treasury department for the
month of August just closed, exceeded
the expenditures by SIS. 955, sig, an un-
cxpectedly large surplus. The total
receipts were SIS. COS, s12 and the ex-
penditures S42, $50, 900. For the same
month of last year the total receipts
were $45. 1894, 1875, and the expenditures
$50, 351 ,497, a surplus of a little over 6
million dollars. The big surplus this
month has been attained in the face of
the heavy cut made by congress in the
way of wiping off the books the taxes
imposed on account of receipts by
something like 90 million dollars a
month. In fact, in July the receipts
from international revenue fell off
more than figure as a result of the
cut. This month the reduction is not
so large. The receipts from the differ
ent sources have been as follows: Gus
toms, SO, 52s, 23O; internal revenue
ST, 525, 36s: miscellaneous, 81, 49s,213.

TRAIN WRECKED BY TORNADO
Cars Hurled Down an Eighteen
Foot Embankment.
WHERE WRECKAGE BURNED.

Waseca, Mimi, Sept. 1.-Two per-
sons were killed, three fatally injured
and more than a score of others hurt in
the wreck of train which had been
hurled down an embankment by tor
nado. A west-bound train on the Chi
cago & Northwestern railway was
struck by tornado while running at
the rate of thirty-fve miles an hour.
The passenger and baggage cars were
hurled eighteen feet down the embanll-
ment to the fence guarding the right
of way. A brakeman had been light
ing the lamps when the crash came,
and the wreckage was ignited by the
splitting of oil.
The engineer is reported to have seen
the tornado in apparent pursuit of the
train, and scarcely an instant before
the cyclonic wind struck the cars the
train gave a lurch in a sudden effort to
evade the funnel-shaped fury. 1t was
$40 o'clock when the train was struck.
Fully an hour and half elapsed be-
fore wrecking train arrived. The
engine did not leave the track, the bag
gage car and passenger coaches having
been twisted off as if by giant hands
and hurled downward TO the bottom of
| the embankment. The baggage car
was shattered to splinters. The two
dead were jammed in the wrecilage
| and their bodies had to be out out with
| axes. It is feared that more bodies
may be found under the debris and
wrecking gangs sent from Waseca are
at work on the shattered cars.
The brakeman who was lighting the
lamps in one of the passenger coaches
when the tornado struck could not be
found. 1t is feared his body was in
the wrecllage. Passengers saw him
strike the under side of the coach with
| terrific force and at the same time the
| lamp he had been trimming was
! crashed into splinterS

TROUBLE OVER ALLOTMENTS.
Real Estate Companies Tried to Capture
Minors Lands.

Musl<ogee, l. T., Aug. 30.-There is
trouble in store for the real estate com
panies who have been purchasing de-
ceased minor Indian land from the
parents of the dead children. The
practice is being carried on on a whole
sale scale, but within a few days it will
be ended. Under the supplemental
agreement, as well as the statutes of
Arkansas, which formerly covered such
transactions here, the parents OF de-
ceasd minors were the natural and law
full guardians of their estates. How
ever, they do not inherit the property,
merely having a life estate, and the
property then goes to the brothers and
sisters.
Those firms which are taking leases
on Creek lands and not giving sufficient
money therefor are also finding that
they are not sleeping on bed of roses.
An examination of the supplemental
agreement clearly shows that while
parents are the constituted legal guar
dians, without bond, of their minor
children, the proper court will require
that they account for the estate of their
children

Kmed And Robbed While In That Con-
ditIon.

Chanute, Kas., Sept lie. V. Dick
ey, of Dewey, !. T., stockman and
grain buyer of Dewey, was found near
the roundhouse at an early hour muir
dered. Seven wounds had been infiict-
ed in his head with an iron coupling
pin, any one of which would have
caused death. His grip. a shotgun in
a leather case, and an old pair of shoes
were found near the body, but his
pockets had been rifed. No clue what
ever has been discovered to identify
his murderers, but as he had been
drinking heavily and in company at
times with the tough element, it is
thought the mystery will be solved.
He leaves wife and daughter, a
mother and two brothers. He was
about 35 years of age.

A BENEFIT TO FARMERS.

The benefits that viii undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent in
corporation of the International Har-
vester Company which took over the
business of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not
been considered by large portion Of
the farming community.
The economical necessity OF con-
solidation of the interests of manufac-
turers and those of their farmer Gus
toners must be apparent to any one
who understands the present situa-
ton.
The increased and increasing cost
of material, manufacturing and sell
ing-the latter in consequence of ex-
IRENE and bitter competition between
manufacturers and their several sell
ing agents-has made the business
improbable.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the in
creasing of the prices of machines or
the reduction of the cost of manufac-
ture and sales. The latter could only
be accomplished by concentrating the
business in one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
of the new company was not stock
jobbing operation but centering of
mutual interests. There is no watered
stock; the capitalization is con-
sentative and represented by actual
and tangible assets. There is no
stock offered to the public, it having
all been subscribed and paid for by
the manufacturers and their associ-
| ates.
The management of the Interna-
tional Harvester Company is in the
hands of well known, experienced
%len.
The officers are: President, Cyrus
II. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chair
| man Finance Committee. George w.
| Perkins; Vice-Presidents, Harold F.
| Mccormick, James Deering. VIM. H.
| Jones and John J. Glessner; Secre-
| tary and Treasurer Richard F. Howe.
| The members of the Board of Direct
ors are as follows: Cyrus Bentley,
William Deerirg, Charles Deering,
James Deering, Eldridge M. Fowler.
E. H. Gary, John ]. Glessner, Richard
! F. Howe, Abram NJ Hyatt, William H.
! Jones, cyrus II. McCOIHtCh, I1dfOIu
| F. Mccormick, George W. Perkins,
| Norman B. Ream, Leslie N. Ward,
Paul D. Cravath.
The International Harvester Com
pany owns five of the largest harves-
ter plants in existence. The Cham.
pion, Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee
and Plano-plants that have been
| producing nearly or quite 80 per cent
of the harvesting machines of the
world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands
blast furnaces and a steel plant; IT
has a new factory in the process OF
construction in Canada.
1t is believed that the cost of pro-
ducing grain, grass and corn harvest
! ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be con
| tinued, and that consequently the re
| suits cannot be otherwise than bene
fetal to the f~rmer. To maintain the
| present prices of these machines

! development of the agriculture of the
