AIMED AT
Sweeping Measures to Crush Out a
Criminal Class.

Manila, Nov. 14.-The United States
commission has passed an act to as
sist the suppression of Ladronism. 1t
makes highway robbery committed by
three or more persons a capital Of
tense.
A conviction does not require PROOF
of the actual commission OF the
crime, the existence Of a band OF brig
ands under arms being sufficient. Sc
we're penalties are prescr" ed for those
assisting ladrones in tnc ""mnisslon
IF crimes.
The commission has also passed a
sweeping vagrancy act, drawn UP so
as to reach both d%issolute natives Il
foreigners, and it has enacted a law
recurring officials to war; the people
of the impending danger OF famine
and to urge the raising of crops OF
quick growing foodstuffs. The govern
ment is furnishing seeds and will use
public lands for this purpose.

MET BURGLAR WITH CHARGE OF
BIRD SHOT.
ROBBERS TERRoR|zE TOWN
Marshal Dangerously Wounded ir
Battle With Bold Gang
Of Toughs.

Elyria, Ohio, Nov. 14.-Marshal
Henry Krohm was perhaps fatally
shot and an unknown burglar had his
head blown off in a battle here early
today. The shooting occurred during
a fight with four robbers who terror
izer the town. The gang stole horses
and rigs, entered several houses and
shot recklessly in a wild charge down
the main street.
j.. z. Baird was awakened by burg
lars in his house. He saw two mask
ed men standing on either side of his
bed. Drawn revolvers were pointed
at his head, but he jumped from the
bed and grappled with the intruders.
In the darkness they broke away and
fled.
The burglars then entered the home
of Town Marshal Krohm, who opened
fire on them. When he had shot three
times, one of the robbers, who had
jumped into a buggy, got out and be-
gan blazing away at the marshal. At
the third shot, the latter fell with a
bullet through his hip. Baird, who
had in the meantime arrived. picked
up the officers gun and continued fir
ing. The robbers, however, drove
rapidly away. Baird followed them
to the home of Superintendent w. J.
Hitler, of the Cleveland, Elyria &
Wetsern railway. Even after Baird
2nened fire on the robbers, they walk
ed into the Hitler home, after smash
ing in the door. The noise aroused
Hitler and he reached for his gun,
loaded with quail shot.
A burglar cautiously opened the
door and Hitler blew his head off
with the first discharge. The other
robber turned and ram, but Hitler
discharged the second barrel. The
robber yelled and totterer, but did
not fall. He ran into the street and
disappeared.
A posse is pursuing the robbers.

MASON CUTS SOME ICE.
illinois Senatorial Situation Promises
TO Become Interesting,

10 Become Interesting.
Washington, Nov. 14.--The Illinois
senatorial situation has cleared some
what since the election, and shows
Senator Mason with a fighting chance
to win-iust a chance. He has elect
ed a, bunch of republican members
who will stand by him through thick
and thin, who will be able to prevent
the election of any caucus nominee
save himself. In the deadlock which
is expected to develop in the legis-
lature, Mason hopes either to secure
his own election eventually, or name
the winner. In the latter event, it
will not be Hopkins, but will be some
mar from Chicago. Hopkins lives in
Aurora, which is not a part of Cal
cago, although close to it. For many
years m Illinois senator has come
from the city and the other from the
state outside. This precedent Mason
declares shall not be broken this
time. He lives in the city, and in the
breakup will throw his strength to a
city man. The Hopkins people
realize that Mason has more strength
than they supposed he would get.

FOUND GUILTY OF BRIBERY BY
THE JURY.
A new TRIAL IS DENIED
Missouri Judge Sentences Millionaire
to Serve Three Years in
Penitentiary.

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 14.-Col. Ed.
Butler, millionaire and politician of
St. Louis, on trial charged with at
tempting to bride DR.. Chapman Of
the st. Louis board of health in Or
der to influence his vote on the in
dorsement of a garbage contract, has
been found guilty by the jury, which
fixed the punishment at three years
in the ~penitentiary. The verdict,
found last night, was announced to-
day.
T. H. Hickman, foreman of the jury,
says the verdict of guilty was reached
on the first ballot, but it took three
hours for the jury to agree upon the
sentence. Some Of the jury wanted
to give Butler the limit. One man
wanted to give him only a fine and
Jail sentence. A motion for a new
trial was overruled.
When asked by Judge Hockaday if
he had any reason to offer why SEN
tence should not be passed upon him,
Edward Butler said: Il have nothing
to say, your honor, further than that
l am innocent Of the charge preferred
against me-"
"The jury has passed on that ques-
ton, Mr.. Butler" was the answer.
"In accordance with the verdict l SEN
tence you to imprisonment in the
state prison for a term of three years."
The filing of an appeal to the state
supreme court followed. Judge Hook
aday fixed Buffers bond at $4,000,
which was signed by prominent cit
liens of Columbia.

cc'lcge Students Do Some Detective
Work.

New York, Nov. 1.-two district
captains in the Ninth assembly dis
trict have been held by Magistrate
Barlow in bonds OF S., 500 each to an
swer charges of violating the election
laws.
The evidence in the case was pro.
cured by six young collegians who
volunteered their services to Superin
tendent McCullah. One of the young
men is said to be a millionaire. An
other is a young physician and the
four remaining are medical students.
They claim to have made themselves
noticeable around West Twenty-sixth
street just before election day. Dis
guised as tramps they we're accosted
by workers who, after becoming &C.
q%uainted, disposed of them in various
rooms. On election day they say
they were provided with slips bear
ing the names of men who had regis
tered in good faith, but who had been
called away. In this name they
say they voted many times each and
for each ballot they allege they re-
ceived S.. Superintendent McCul-
labs deputies at the polls were aware
of the movements and the ballots are
said to have been marked for identi-
ication.
The plan came nearly ending disas-
trously in one booth, where the alleg-
ed repeater" had been provided by
mistake with a slip bearing the name
of a negro. The exposures, have caus-
ed a sensation among the politicians
of the district, as the officials claim
their agents were admitted to the
clubs and awaited themselves of ev-
cry opportunity for collecting informa-
ton.

The Wood Harvest.

The shortage in supply Of wood on
many farms is due directly to the I'M
scientific manner in which our wood
lots have been handled. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that it is necessary to
deforest our farms in the supply OF
the farm stove with fuel. All this
talk about the "woodless era" that Is
coming is nonsense, if we stir our
selves to find out the best way to har-
vest our wood. There is one great
fact that should not be forgotten and
that is that every year sees billions
of cubic feet of wood added to the
bulk of our forest and woodlots
through annual growth. So great Is
this annual increase that If 1t be prop
erly handled it will supply all Of our
needs. In the wood lot we must pre-
vent fires and cut out the mature wood
Systematically. Fires are made pos
sible generally by the accumulation
of large quantities of rubbish on the
ground under the trees or near them.
In our wood lots the most mature
trees must be cut and the immature
trees left to grow. Yet how often do
we see trees slaughtered indiscrimi-
rately by the woodsman. AS a tree
approaches maturity its annual in
crease is very small, and 1t does not
pay to leave it to cucumber the ground
for years. The wood harvest is one of
the most important of all the har-
vests on the farm. 1t, to a great ex-
tent, renders the farmer independent
of the great sources of fuel supply I'M
der control of great monopolies. More
over, the source Of supply being at his
very door, he is saved the cost of cart
age, which is always a large part Of
the cost of fuel.-Farmers' Review.

salivate disappears and the new clo-
yer is recognized as valuable forage
crop to the community. In other in
stances, progressive stockmen buy the
seeds and plant them in the commun-
ity, where seeds have not been dis
tributed by natural means, and these,
in turn, are disseminated throughout
the soils to which the plant Is suited
by the agencies mentioned.
Seed should be sown in late spring
either upon well-prepared land or
the moist protected soils Of partial
woodland. Usually peck to one-half
bushel of seed per acre is planted IN
April and May, often in March. The
plant grows slowly at first but with
a fair amount of rainfall 1t will es-
tablish itself and will remain green
through severe drouths until frost.
The tiny violet bloom that occurs
during July and August is often over
looked, but the plant seeds the land
abundantly, and the crop Of clover
will repeat itself annually, II soil and
seasons are favorable. In many por-
tions of the older states, where the
crop has been grown and cared for,
Lespedeza hay is highly priced for
al. kinds Of stock, and its retaining
influence upon WORKOUT soils Is highly
appreciated.

William T. Orbeton was pursued by
what he had always supposed friend
ly bull at his farm on the side OF
Dodge's Mountain the other afternoon,
and had an experience which was per-
ilous in the extreme. The animal was
one which had been partially dehorned'
but Mr.. Orbeton with great pres
ence of mind managed to grasp the
stumps and held on for dear life. Inc
angry bull shook him about as though
he did not weigh considerably more
than the average man, and failing 10
dislodge him started for a nearby
fence with the amiable purpose OF I'M
paling Mr.. Orbeton thereon. At this
critical struggle Mr.. Orbeton's DULL
dog appeared on the scene and jumped
at the bulls throat. The bull found
the dog very worthy antagonist, and
with the latter's teeth sinking more
deeply into his throat every moment,
diverted his attention from Mr.. Ut
beton to the dog. In very short time
both were safe and the bull was forced
to realize that he had been check
mated. In past years Mr. Orbeton
has undergone considerable joking
about his love for dogs but he Is now
firmly convinced that the devotion he
has spent upon his canine friends has
been well repaid.-Rockland Courier

LONG LIFE AND A MERRY ONE
Strenuous Americans OutliVe the In
dolent Africans.

Strenuous Americans outlive the In
dolent Africans.
1t seems that we are all wrong
about the hurtful and life-shortening
effect of American hustle" Our ma
tional motto may be said to have been
"a short life, but a strenuous one"
We were willing, as a people, to have
the span shortened a little if only
we could have something worth while,
something active and effective, going
all the time. But it seems, according
to the latest bulletin of the census
bureau, that the fast life is also the
long one, says Harper's Weekly. Our
"median age"-that is, the age which
is such that half the population is
under it and half over it's more
than seven years greater than it was
q century ago, and increases from dec
ade to decade. We are surprising
easy-going foreign countries in this
respect; we are surprising even the
loose jointed, indolent, beautifully re-
Taxed, never-worrying African in our
midst; for whereas the median age of
our American whites is 2S.4 years,
that of the devil-may-care colored per-
son is but 1873. Lately much confu-
sion has arisen in the minds of many
Americans over the statement made
by certain eminent neurologists that
it is next to impossible for a man to
"overwork," provided his bodily func-

perate and wholesome living. Other
physicians. to be sure, tell us that
hurry and worry spell death. We had
accepted the latter judgment, with the
qualifying reflection that no mt ter
what science tells us. it always seems
to have another think coming" This
census bulletin which links the long
life with the fast one appears to be
the other think"

Savinu Seed Corn.

From Farmers Review: Having
been a reader Of the Farmers Review
for years l would like to say few
words about seed corn. Now Is the
proper time to save 1t. At least, thai
is my opinion from twenty years eX
perience. When husking, select the
most perfect ears and throw them into
the front end of wagon. At night tic
them with Irvine, putting 20 or 20 ears
together. Then take a short piece OF
Irvine and tie them In the center
Drive some large spikes into the cell
ing of the cellar and hang the corr
there until the following April. ]
have followed this practice for years
and have never failed to have gooo
stand of corn from seed so secured.
This is the secret Of good crop. In
the spring 1t will lie longer in the
ground without rotting, will come UP
stronger and will produce more stalks
with ears on them than seed corn
kept in any other way. 1t takes per-
feet seed corn to make perfect
stand. Good seed also gives an early
maturing corn and saves great deal
of labor and time.-A. T. Evans, Knox
county, Illinois.
eve would like to hear further from
our correspondent as to what kind OF
a cellar he has. Many cellars are
damp, and in such it is very doubtful
IL seed corn could be successfully
kept.-Editor Farmers Review

Good Fruit or Profitable Fruit.
Good fruit does not by necessity al
ways mean profitable fruit. In fact,
1t is quite seldom that fruit is of both
good quality and profitable. This is
certainly the case west of the Ale
ghany mountains. East of that point
there are regions that grow both good
and profitable fruit. In that great
region known as "The West" the
most profitable apples are those OF
only fair quality, but long keepers and
good shippers. In all this region the
fight for and against the Ben Davis
apple has been on ever since that
apple was originated. But in spite OF
the fact that it is not of high quality
it has made Roadway against all OPP
position. 1t has pushed into all parts
of the country, has passed over the
Allegheny mountains and has invaded
New England in force. How has this
been possible, when it was so roundly
dispraised? 1t was because orchard
planters had found it to be a very
profitable apple. They were always
sure of getting a crop of apples when
they planted this variety. Moreover
it keeps so long that it can be held
for time of year when apples are
scarce, and at that time will sell at
good price. The apple trees being
planted now comprise very large per-
centage Of Ben Davis apples, even in
the New England states.
The same is true of small fruits.
The strawberry that is good for home
use is not shipper. The man that
plants must remember this. He may
plant one variety for his own use be-
cause that one is of high quality. He
plants another to sell, because 1t Will
bear packing, shipment and trans
shipment. 1t is impossible for the
strawberry grower to put the best
quality berries on the market. They
would be spoiled before reaching the
customer. 1t has been found that the
good shippers are not generally Der-
ries of great flavor or even beautiful
appearance. Men have been looking
for fruit that would combine in itself
all the good and desired qualities. We
do not know of any fruit that has
come up to the demand in this regard.
In fact, so far as this quest is con-
cerned, we seem to be as far from the
goal as ever.
