A LEAF ADDED TO THE CLOVER

Near Amsterdam, in 1886, Professor De
Vries found a plant bearing six or seven
four-leaved clovers. This he set out anew
in his garden, where 1t did not bear seeds
I'LL 1888 These he sowed. and since then
Each time he chose his seeds from one
fourth of the best plants; that Is, from
those which had the most four and five
leaVed clovers. It was the third genera
ton. however, in 1891, that began to be rich
I'm the desired forms of leaves, but only
with four and five leaflets, and these only
in the adult plants. Still during August
and September of the same year he re-
marked a very few with seven leaflets. At
this point he reduced his selection Tor
choosing his seeds from the best specimen
to severe standard. That is, he chose
for progenitors only those plants which
had two-thirds OF all its leaves with four
or more leaflets
The hve-leaved clovers. however. are
now the normal product. Professor De
Vries has given It's seeds for practical ex-
perimenting purposes to a professor Of the
Minnesota Agricultural College, hut as Ia

viding that n rich soil and good culture
be maintained, ne holds that his five
lcaved clover will keep constant. that Is.

Such being the case, the cultivation of
this new variety should have a high value
over the ordinary clover. not only as 'cow
grass" but as more energetic enricher
of the soil.-Everybodys Magazine for

STOCKS BREAK
On WALL ST.
AGAIN
OPERATION UNDERGONE BY
THE PRESIDENT CAUSE BAD
BREAKS TO FURTHER BUR
DEN STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-The unexpected
news that President Roosevelt was COM
PEELED to abandon his trip and submit to
surgical treatment, proved an additional
burden on the stock market this morning.
Opening prices showed threatening
breaks of from to 8 points in the import
ant leading stocks. First prices proved to
be the lowest for the time being and Wig
orous support by large financial interests,
succeeded in raising the market to lit
tie above last nights level by IL o'clock.
The reassuring bulletins of the presidents
condition helped the rally.
By that time loans began to be called
and this disclosed the fact that the banks
were continuing their policy Of calling
loans. The result was another violent
slump which carried prices lower than
before, losses extending up to 5 points
in some of the leading stocks, Missouri
Pacifics loss was 4 "a, st. Paul 4 5-S and
L. & N. 5, while the list of point losses
or over was considerable The money rate
scared above 20 per cent. The pressure
to sell became very urgent and the large
speculative combinations, which have per-
sistently held up prices for several weeks
past, unloaded very large holdings and
abandoned all attempts to sustain the
market.

PORK PACKERS
NOW REFUSE
TO MERGE
GREAT PACKING HOUSE TRUST
HAS BEEN CALLED OFF
THROUGH FEAR OF FUTURE
ACTION OF CONGRESS.

CHICAGO, Sept. A.-The combination Of
the great packing houses Of the coun-
try which has been under consideration
and in process of actual formation for
the last six months, has been abandoned
at least for the present, says The Tribune.
The decision not to contemplate the com
binaton is due I'm a large degree to the
attitude of the national administration to-
ward trusts as outlined by President
Roosevelt I'm his recent speeches,
and to the possibility that in the event of
a consolidation congress might remove the
tariff on cattle.
1t was learned last night that final
meeting of the heads of the firms known
as the big four packing houses in Chicago
had been held. at which it was agreed to
end all negotiations at once.
This was followed by an order issued
from the office of Swift q CO. that the
firms employees should Immediately dis
continue the inventory Of property and
stock. which had been ordered and start
ed for the purpose of tabulating report
Of the financial condition of the company
which was TO have been used as a basis
of the division of shares in the combine.

SHOOTING
SCRAPE
L. E. THOMPSON, ALLEGED DES-
PERADo, STAYS J. A. MILLS

and killed ]. A. Mills at Pottsburg,
station on the Sewanee branch of the
Atlantic Coast Line. Mills shot at Thomp-
son and in that act he fell dead from the
bullet sent through him by Thompson's
pistol AS Thompson started, to run out
at the door he shot at Mr.. Parrot, who
stood in another part of the store. Par
rot raised his shotgun and killed him dead.
There was but an instant's difference in
the expiration of the two men. The trou-
BILE grew out of the conduct Of Thomp-
son about two months ago when he got
drunk and shot HIS pistol recklessly about
the town and cursed at a great rate The
people made thisf the climax to his. con-
duct and took five warrants for him
charging him with carrying a concealed
pistol, swearing iR the presence of ladies
and shooting across the public road The
day for trial came and he waived exam
inaton to the grand jury. On returning
from Leverne he went by the store, where
Mills and Parrot were and told Mills
he would give him chance to use that
new pistol after a little while" He soon
returned and walked in and began shoot
ing at Mills. Thompson was character
in the community that was terror ana
his very presence made people uneasy
Rev. A. B. Metcalf was an eyewitness
to the affair and related the story to your

gether with its shining surface, will

record the official hour Of noon as regu-
larly and as accurately as the sun itself.
Noon by the eastern time is IL O'Clock
here, so that the ball will drop at eleven
each day.

FOR WHAT MAN DID
GOVERNOR BUY THIS B00K7

Governor Gambler is worried today. He
was worried yesterday and the day be-
fore and several days previous 70 that
time. And the cause of the governors wor-
riment Is this:
While at a barbecue down in south Geor-
gia several weeks ago the chief executive
tegan TO discuss books with a party of
men and one of the party asked If he
had read a certain book. The governor
replied that he had not. Whereupon the
party in question pulled forth from his
jeans the sum of $50 saying: Here, gov
ernor, take this money, buy the book
when you get TO Atlanta, read Il and
when you finish IL send IL TO me. have
been wanting TO get the publication for
some time"
Governor Gambler took the $50, came to
Atlanta, bought the book, pronounced il
unusually good. He had the book wrap
ped up. and weighed to find out the
amount OF postage. and when he began
to address IL, he couldn't think Of the
man 10 whom he wanted TO send IL. He
pondered awhile, but the name Of the
gentleman who wanted the book never
crossed his mind and II hasn't yet. He is
still wondering who the man is. 1t is I'M
derstood that the party is an unusually
good friend OF the governors, but he was
talking 10 so many folks just before he
took his train that he does not remem-
Der exactly who gave him the money.
II the man who wanted the book reads
this story he will confer an everlasting
favor upon Georgia's chief executive by
sending his name at once TO ,..e execu-
tive once, state capitol building. Atlanta,

Mr. Vaughn engaged in. the mercantile
business and where he served as mayor.
He moved to Vaughn in 1861, where ne

were called to civil war, Mr.. Vaughn leIt
