SHAW'S WARNING.

Washington, Aug, 21.-Secretary
Shaw, before leaving for New Eng
land, made an example of several
clerks of the treasury department
who are inclined to follow the races,
play poker and otherwise indulge in
diversions of chance.
The secretary has no intention of
meddling with private affairs of the
department employees, but he objects
to the way these clerks treat their
wives, so far as supporting them is
concerned. The wives of a number
of the clerks lately called on Mr..
Shaw and asked him to retain the
salary of their husbands and give it
to them instead, as the younger men
had neglected them and spent all
their earnings in playing poker.
These clerks are employed in a
division of the treasury where they
are in position to handle consider
able currency. No complaint has
been made against them by their chief,
but Secretary Shaw apparently thinks
that foresight is better than hind
sight, and he consequently transferred
the clerks i'll question to another div
ision and reduced their salaries to
$500. There is CONSERVATION among
the spots of the treasury.

AGRICULTURAL.
STUDY THE CROP.

Are You studying the variety of
things you are growing this year asks
New York Farmer. Are you sure
that you have the best variety obtain
able in each line that you are grow
ing? This is a thing you can learn
only by studying the behavior of each
crop on your own soil. No other mans
success or failure with this, that or
the other variety can serve as stand
ard for you, because his soil is not
exactly like yours. His successful
variety may be failure with you.
Your success may be a failure with
him. Each variety must be tested
on each farm. Especially is this true
of strawberries, raspberries and other
small traits. By studying returns in
fruit and comparing results with your
neighbors you can decide which vari-
cites III any line are the ones best suit
ed for your soil and your methods of
cultivation. Because one fails, don t
imagine that all varieties of the same
product will fail with you. Jot down
in your note book the progress of each
crop from beginning TO ending, and
in this way will put yourself in a
position of knowledge that will be of
great benefit to you next year. Plants
have their peculiarities and it is nee
essary that you should know them.
Learn them as they crop out.

MEAT PRODUCTION IN NEW
ENGLAND.

The high value of meat products
is a subject which has not only drawn
much public attention but has created
much inconvenience and loss to many
engaged in the meat trade, especially
in eastern cities, says a writer in
Country Gentleman. This has result
ed in stirring up strong feeling
against what is called the beef trust
whether Justly or not, the action
taken by the government will no
doubt show; but those who are
familiar with the real conditions of
the meat. producing industry look to
broader issues for the true solution of
the present high values.
The east has so long been used to
look to the west for cheap food sup.
plies, that she has taken no survey of
the changing conditions slowly devel-
oping over the broad lands of her west
ern sister The facilities for produc-
ing cheap meat in the west are
narrowing, the day of unlimited
free ranges is passing, the local con-
sumption by an ever increasing popu-
lation is becoming greater, and the
outward demand from the Pacific
side of this continent will doubtless,
ere long, be another factor in lessening
the surplus for shipment eastward.
Again, the cost of production is be-
coming yearly more expensive; it is
costing more and more to poduce
crops on much of the older western
lands so that if the east is to con-
tinue to get food supplies from the
west, as a natural consequence higher
prices must be paid.
There appears to be no real excuse
for such state of things; New Eng
land and the Atlantic states might be,
if not entirely, at least almost self
supporting. These lands are not nat
urally unfertile, nor are they so far
exhausted as to be beyond easy and
quick restoration to profitable pro-
ductiveness. The values at which
they are held give the New England
farmer, especially, good start in free
capital ahead of his competitor on the
high priced lands of the middle west,
where most of the marketable meat
must now be finished The public
taste is now for well.bred beef and
mutton. Prairie grass is no longer,
as years ago. suffi cient to finish the
marketable meat. Quickly matured,
highly finished, we'll favored meats are
what fill the popular demand, and a
generous feeding of corn and other
rich foods is necessary therefore
even the west, with all its resources,
cannot continue such supplies except
at increasing values.

JESSIE MORRISON
ON WITNESS STAND


EIdorado. Kan, June 24.-Dr. Brown
field. a travelling physician, testifying
today for the defense in the third trial
OF Jessie Morrison for the murder of
Mrs, DIN Castle, caused q sensation
when he declared that while passing
the Castle home on the morning of the
fatal fi=ht. he saw Mrs. Castle and
heard her call the defendant into the
house The state tried hard to destroy
the evidence. and finally the county at
tOrney ordered BrOwnfeld's arrest on
a charge of perjury
At the two previous trials the case
had hinged principally on the point as
to whether Miss Morrison went to the
Castle house bent on attacking Mrs.
Castle. or Mrs. Castle called her in and
started the quarrel The defense here
tofore has been unable to produce a
witness to testify on this point.
Pearl Beardsley testified to pulling
Miss Morrison away from the door of
the Castle home and to have heard her
say:
'She Mrs. CASTLE tried to kill me.
/ had il to do"
In the afternoon Miss Morrison went
on the stand and detailed. as she had
twice before. the fight with Mrs. Cas-
tie. when the latter's throat was cut,
her windpipe nearly severed and she
was gashed in many places on the
shoulders and arms. Miss Morrison
declared that Mrs. Castle had called
her into the house, started a quarrel
about Mr.. Castle and then attacked her
with A razor. She had. she said, finally
secured the razor after being cut badly,
and had fought in Self-defense.

After WrangIe Over Minute Rec.

tried TO straighten out the Prang

contention i'm a two hours wranglc
was as to whether President Newman
bad the right the other evening to or
der the record to show Mr.. Young was
excused when he left the meeting dur
ing a reconsideration of the vote on the
question Of adopting the drawing sys-
tenn text books. Another contention
was that no quorum was present at
that meeting during the reconsidera-
ton. The executive session broke up
by Mr.. CritchlOw putting on his hat
and leaving the building.
The remaining members mustered
their forces of half a dozen and con-
vened a special meeting, which opened
with another wrangle about the adop-
ton Of the minutes of the preceding
meeting. MI Young vigorously pro-
tested against the records showing
him excused from voting when in fact
it ought to show that he was absent, as
he had deliberately left the meeting
without asking to be excused. How
ever. the minutes were approved With
out any change, Mr.. Young refusing to
vote.

had. Scenes such as used 80 be when

the ouuu were several 1S47 pioneers.
The master of ceremonies was George
Harris, who conducted the programme
for the occasion. Songs. dances and
games were the order Of the after
noon
The feature of the outing was a
sham skirmish between a band of In
dams and the white men, representing
what used to happen i'm old times. A
number of the veterans were dressed
IN Indian costumes. and gave an illus
tratiOn of how the Indians played
cards, danced and sung. To make the
scene realistic a white man who was
prepared for the ordeal was captured
scalped and the Indians held a war
dance around the pole from which his
scalp dangled. Then the veterans
rushed upon the Indians and routed
them. as they used to do when the
red man took real scal9s from the
whites.
