Bulletin rs of the Illinois station
gays; The Investigations Of Atwater
In America, Boussingault and Vile in
France, Heilriegel, Willfarth and
Noble in Germany, Lawes and Gilbert
in England, ct all, have fully estab
lished the scientific facts: (1) that
leguminous plants, as the clovers,
peas, beans, vetches, alfalfa, etc, have
the power to gather or accumulate,
free nitrogen from the atmosphere;
CD that this hxation of free nitrogen
is actually accomplished by microscope
ic organisms called bacteria which live
in little nodules or tubercles, upon
the roots of the legumes; and (3) that
for different species of leguniinous
plants, there are also different species
Of nitrogen gathering" bacteria.
Many investigations have also been
conducted to determine the amounts
OF nitrogen which can be fixed by diff
erent leguminous plants, but these ex-
periments have actually been carried
on in pure sand cultures under condi-
tions which necessitate that all nitro.
gen which the legumes secures must
be obtained from the air There is
abundance of evidence that legumin-
GUS plants secure some nitrogen from
the air when grown in ordinary soil,
II they are provided with the bacteria.
Indeed, the presence Of the tubercles
upon the roots is one of the evidences
that free nitrogen is being fixed. and
another evidence Of that fact is found
in the beneficial effects of clover and
other legumes in crop rotations.

N1TRo-GLYcERINE EXPLOSION.
An Employe of the Empire-American Com
pany Dropped Can of the STUFF and
Three Men Lose Their Lives.

Bluffton, Ind, Aug. 6.-The EN-
pire-American Nitro-Glycerine COM
panys magazine, near here, exploded
yesterday afternoon. The entire plant
was destroyed and three employees
were blown into fragments, parts of
their bodies being found nearly one
mile from the explosion. Fragments
Of the carcasses of three pairs Of mules
used In delivering the explosives were
found half mile distant hanging in
trees. The explosion was heard for 80
miles and so great was Its force that
a hole 100 by $50 feet and 20 feet deep
marks the spot where the magazine
stood. 1t was caused by Edward Roda-
baugh, who, while loading wagon
with nitro-glycerine, dropped a can,
which exploded, causing 1000 quarts
Of nitro-glycerine in the factory to ex-
plode. The property loss was $4,000.

HAS HE FEATHERED HIS NEsr7
Belief That the Missing Treasurer of tho
Preachers Aid Society Had Big Sum
When He Left Boston.

Boston. Aug. 11.-About 20 Metho-
dist ministers connected with the
Preachers Aid society held a secret
meeting here yesterday to consider the
situation growing out of the defalca-
ton of the former treasurer, Willard
s. Allen. Investigation of the case
has disclosed evidence that for the
last six or seven years Allen bor-
rowed $500 to $4,000 for three days
in March from former Alderman
Charles Witt, Of East Boston. He al
30 borrowed similar amounts from
the East Boston Cooperative bank at
the same period. This has led to
the belief that a sum aggregating
about $4,000 was needed to cover up
Irregularities In accounts and satisfy
the auditor Of the Preachers Aid So
ciety. 1t is believed, also, that If this
was the case the treasurer must have
taken 4 large sum of money with him
when he left this city week ago and
must have the securities Of the So
ciety as we'll. This view is said to be
confirmed by the statement of Presi-
dent Wood, of the Columbia Trust
company, that Mr.. Allen last year de-
posted $4,000 in cash at one time with
the trust company in his own name.

Sacramento, CAL, Aug. 1.-THE

Corbett will be comparatively short

bout to drag along to an endless
length. Jeffries will fight with such
strength and speed that he will early
bring Corbett down to his level in the
question Of agility. When he once
gets him there the battle can be con-
sidered as over"
When this statement was repeated
to Corbett the latter said: 80 Jeffries
expects to make the fight short one.

he tries to. for II he does he will ind
me on hand. He will not have to

have ever been and firmly believe that |

parent rise Of the mob spirit In Amer
lea. All phases Of the subject euds.
race riots, lynchings and strikes
will be treated. Yesterday the noun
tain feuds were taken up. DR.. w. G..
Frost, president of Berea college in
the mountains Of Kentucky, was the
chief speaker. The absence of re-
straint, said he, is the sole cause Of
the feud. The mountaineers Of APP
palachian America, he explained, are
the descendants Of colonials, not to be
confused with poor whites. They were
southerners who owned land, but not
slaves, and who were loyal to the flag
In the civil war.
1.-THE feud area" he said, has great
~ contracted In recent times. Many
killings caused by whisky or sudden
anger are classed by newspapers with
'eud murders. Such is not true. The
Ease in Breathitt county is a political |
mean outbreak unusual and not to
,e classed with ordinary feuds. AS
he death Of Hamilton was the occa-
Ion Of great sermon by DR.. Knott,
which partly ended the duel in Amer
ca, so we may hope the storm of op-
osition aroused by the death of Mar
UNI may bring us near the end of po-
tical assassinations in Kentucky"
The cure for the feud, said DR..
'rost, is educational.
To-day the lynching problems and
ice troubles in the south will be dis
used. The final speaker will be

URGES ARBITRATION.
Gen. Miles Believes Time 10 Ripe
to Abolish Large Armies.
SHOULD HAVE THEM ONLY FOR POLICE


Chicago, Aug. 11.-Wearing the blue
blouse and the gold braided hat of Q
member of the Grand Army Of the Re.
public, Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles
reached Chicago en- route to the an
nual encampment Of the @. A. r. at
San Francisco. He was the central
figure Of an enthusiastic delegation Of
eastern veterans who are booming him
for commander-in-chief Of their ma
tional organization.
Gen. Miles and those with him har-
Dor deep resentment Of the curtness
with which the administration powers
have placed him on the retired list.
The general makes no attempt to con-
ceal this feeling Of resentment.

who have been cognizant of events of

the situation" said the general. 81 be-
lieve that anyone can read and under

at this time would be in bad
taste. The matter is closed for the
present"
Concerning the suggested congress

Iieve the times are ripe for move on

armies entirely, but to reduce them to

A RESPONDENT CRIMINAL.
Charles j. Davis, Who Had Violated His
Parole, Gave Himself Up Because He
Could Not Make Living.

New York, Aug. Hungry and
with his last cent gone, Charles J.
Davis, under sentence for forgery in
the Illinois state reformatory, who had
violated the parole under which he
was released from that institution,
gave himself up yesterday and asked
to be taken back to prison, as he had
no hope Of making an honest living.
Inability to get work at his trade as a
stonecutter, because not member Of

his dependency.
Davis said that he was sentenced to
an indeterminate term Of from one to
four years In the Illinois state re-

1897, for forging pay checks on the
Chicago G Northwestern railroad. Be-
cause Of good behavior he was paroled

TEXTILE TRADES STRIKE.


Philadelphia, Aug. lit is esti-
mated that 10000 operatives In the
textile trade reported for duty yester-
day at various mills, and similar
number, 1t is expected, will resume
work to-day. This is the first serious
break in the textile workers strike,
which has been in progress since June
l. The strikers who have given up
the fight include cloth weavers, loom
fixers, beamers and twisters. Their
principal demand was for 55-hour
week, with go hours pay. No con-
cessions were granted by the manufac-
turers.
Secretary Gilliard, of the executive
board of the Central Textile Workers
union, stated that the large detection
was due to lack of support. He said
also that there are still about $4,000
operatives on strike, including ingram
carpet weavers, upholstery weavers
and dyers.

RIVERS HIGH IN KANSAS.
Heavy Rains Have Caused All the Streams
to Rise, but Only Small Damage
IL Being Done.

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 10,--Heavy rains
yesterday throughout the eastern and
central portions Of the state have
caused all the streams to rise. The
Smoky Hill. Blue and Solomon rivers
are all very high. Saturday the Kan
sas river had commenced to fall, but
last night there was high water all
along the line, At Manhattan there
has been rise Of nearly two feet in
the river since Saturday night and at
this time the rise is steady. The
Santa Fe and Rock Island roads report
heavy rains all over their Kansas d.
visions, but that no damage had been
done by the high water except one or
two Instances where the track had been
washed out for short distance.
Many people in North Topeka are
moving out Of their homes, although
there seems to be little danger. There
Is a lake In the west portion of town
formed by the May food which has
now overhowed into the streets. High
water has almost completely encom-
passed the north side again. This bed
Of water is two miles long and has a
depth Of ~ feet Two other lakes near
the reform school cover 200 acres each.
All these are Overlooking as a result
from rains for the past few days and
this causes some alarm. The Kansas
river here is higher as a result Of
heavy rains up stream. Damage is be- !
ing done, but no repetition Of the May ,
flood is feared.
