Two BILLION DOLLARS
In FARM PROPERTIES
The Agriculturists of Illinois
Made Good Showing.
Gain of 87.1 Per Cent in Total Value Of
Products in the Past
Ten Years

The Census Office yesterday isFred a
bulletin giving the statistics of agricul-
| ture for the State of Illinois.
The farms of Illinois, June l. 1900.
the report states. numbered 264. ISL, and
were valued at s1,765. 5S1 $50, of which
amount sz51, ,i67, $50, or 14.2 per cent.
represents the value of buildings, and
s1.514. 1880, or S5.s per cent. the value
of the land and improvements other
than buildings. On the same date the
value of farm implements and machinery
was s4i, ,977 .310, and of live stock. s1s3.-
75S,037. These values, added to that of
farms, give s2,004, ,316. s97. the total
value of farm property"
The products derived from domestic
animals, poultry. and bees, including
animals sold and animals slaughtered
on farms, are referred to in this bulle-
tin as animal products" The total
value of all such products. together with
the value of all crops, is termed total
value of farm products" This value for
1899 was s345, ,649, ,611. of which amount
Sl3O,S16,905, or 37.S per cent. represents
the value of animal products. and s2I4.-
S32, 700, or 62.2 per cent. the value Of
crops. including forest products cut OF
produced on farms. The total value nf
farm products for 1899 exceeds that for
1889 by $3.50. $50 .59S. or 81 per cent. A
part of this increase is doubtless due 10
a more detailed enumeration in 1900
than in 1890.
The gross farm income" is obtained
by deducting the value of the products
fed to live stock on the farms of the
producers from the total value of farm
products. In 1899 the reported value OF
products fed was SSl. .S97 ,1SO, leaving
1868. 752. .431 as the gross farm income.
The ratio which this latter amount bears
to the total value of farm property is
referred to in the text as the percent
age Of gross income upon investment"
For Illinois, in 1899, 1t was 1872 per cent
AS no reports OF expenditures for
taxes. Interest, insurance, feed for stock
and similar items have been obtained by
any census, no statement OF net farm
income can be given.

Senator Carmack-But it is fact that

Admiral Dewey with a show of in

Senator Carmack-You did not know

Admiral Dewey did not know any

Senator Carmack-You encouraged him

Admiral Dewey did to certain ex-

Aguinaldo Wanted Gold for Silver.
Admiral Dewey-He wanted me to

the grandest style.
DO you think" Senator Patterson
asked. by way OF remembrance, that
these innuendoes are iust?"
Il do the admiral replied.
The acting chairman interposed the
remark that Senator Patterson's ques-

Aguinaldo had a dollar today. To which

II is the duty Of the inspector to watch
the policemen and, if possible, catch

his work. Sergeant Matthews has had
more men before the trial board than

same time he retains his popularity with
his subordnates.
Another feature of the changes TO be

installing of at least ten or fifteen more
men at Police Headquarters. to become
part of the Detective Bureau. The
present force there consists of twelve
men. This force is not sufficient. it is
claimed, for the needs of the depart
ment. There is lively contest on hand
among the men who are at present do

The most important of the changes
whlch may take place, although there
is at the present time no certainty of it,
is the inauguration of the eight-hour

ANNUAL CHANGES IN
POLICE DEPARTMENT
Customary Shake-Up Soon
to Occur.
Delay Probable on Account of Action
of Congress on Appropria-
tion Bill.

In accordance with the annual custom
extensive and important changes will De
inaugurated throughout the Police
Department within short time, and
the members OF this city's finest are
somewhat anxious regarding the pro-
posed action to be taken by Major Syl-
vester and his associates.
This year the changes will, it is
thought, be announced later than usual,
because Of the dilatory manner in which
the police appropriation bill has been
handled by those sitting in the House
Of Representatives.. and 1t is safe TO say
that no action will be made by Major
Sylvester and his associates until after
the bill itself has become law.
Candidates for Lieutenancy.
II is thought that at least one new
police lieutenant win be appointed, it
being the idea OF those high in authority
to instill as much OF the younger elc-
mont as possible in the department
and let some Of the veterans spend the
rest of their careers in their homes. A
score or more of active policemen have
been mentioned for the position of lieu
tenant, but it is more than likely thai

The case of t. Ryan, bluejacket
of the Solace. charged by c. H. Ball
with having stolen his watch alleged to
be of the value of $500, came up in
Police Court yesterday. The prosecut-
ing witness went on the stand and told
of his having met Ryan and another
sailor, of buggy ride with Ryan and
OF Ryan's being in his room at the Ha-
waiian Hotel. He said that Ryan sat
on his bed after he had placed his watch
under the pillow. He stated that ten
minutes after Ryan left he found his
watch gone and he notified the police.
Ryan went on the stand and told a
straightforward story about Ball having
accosted him on the street and invited
him to ride with him and also to go to
his room. a friend Of Balls also testi-
fed that Ball had taken the initiative in
accosting the sailor. Ryan made very
grave charges against Ball. The case
was taken under adyisement by Judge
Wilcox and his decision will be given
today.
