him something like Is per cent. interest
on his investment.
In view of the fact that last year tho

stock, put on the market was $50 900 900.

been less than Is per cent. Few industrial

such a showing as this.
The value Of live stock on the ranges be-
fore the marketing in 1902 was $50 900 900.
Agricultural implements were worth 81 0O0.-
600. The amount Of money on deposit in
the national and State hanks is estimated
at not less than s9o,o0o,0OO.
This great rise TO wealth Of the farmers
in a few decades reads almost like q fairy
story. In the beginning OF her agricultural
development IL was thought the State
could produce corn only. In the last few
years Nebraska farmers have turned their
attention TO raising wheat and alfalfa a.
well as corn, and last year the State pro-

reports from men In every county who

Before this volume was published the
Free State company got hold OF some OF
the proof sheets and applied in England
for a legal injunction against it's publica-

immediate rumors that King Leopold had
protested to the English Government.

agricultural college spoke of 1.-THE Rela-
ton Of Live Stock Farming to the Home"
She said that the study and interest
aroused by the successful management Of
live stock farm was an influence that
broadened the farmer. Only one thing,
added Mrs. Meredith, could keep the
farmer on his farm. That was his wife.
AS soon as she ceased to like farming
he would probably move to town.
Last night a second session of the ag-
ricultural society was held under the
auspices of the Minnesota Stock Breed
ers' association. H A. Briggs Of Elk
horn, Wis, telling Of THE Horse of the
American Farmer" said that the bust
ness of breeding good, high-grade horses
for the market offered as liberal a re-
turn to the farmer as anything in which
he might put as little labor. THE Utiliz
ing of Waste and By-Products on the
Farm by Means of Live Stock" was the
subject considered by Robert Shaw Of
the Michigan agricultural college. Mr..
Shaw explained how manures and straw
could be used to best advantage in fer
tilizing fields.

day afternoon the following committees:

ANOTHER FOR COHEN
The New Indictment Charges Him
With Compromising Crime
Pleads Not Guilty.
His Bail Is Fixed at ST 900 and His
Trial Is Set for Janu-

Joseph Cohen, one of the pawns in the
game of graft played with the city of
Minneapolis by the late Ames administra-

of compromising a crime and will either
have to plead guilty or stand trial on
the new charge some time in the near
future.

changing his plea at any time before Sat
urday morning. His trial was set for
JAN %. Bail was fixed at $1,000 and
the defendant allowed his liberty for the
day or until the bonds are filed. g.
The crime alleged in the new indictment
is that of receiving $25 from Augusta
Haden on the understanding that this
payment should exempt her from prosecu-
tion by the city authorities. The other
indictment standing against the defendant
is similar and charges the receiving of $15
from Ethel Ford with a like understand
ing. Several other indictments were
brought but were later all nolled.

A. F. KELLEY. IS INDICTED.
Charged With Embezzlement on
Three Counts-In Jail in De-
fault of Bail.

Austin F. Kelley, we'll known in Min
neapolis real estate circles for many years
is an inmate Of the Hennepin county Jail
accuseds Of enbezzIerhent. He was ar
rested yesterday: afternoon and arraigned
before Judge Harrison on three separate
indictments returned by the present grand
jury. A plea of not guilty was entered in
each case and on failure to put up bonds
aggregating $1,000 the defendant was
taken to Jail. ~ .,.ft. T.. :
While the new indictments involve in
a general way the same class of charges
made against the Kelleys at the time of
their failure, it is supposed that the mat
ter. has been reopened by the recent part
@nership row in the Ewing Machine COM
pany. In this partnership. disa greement,
which finally resulted in a receivership
Eazen M. Parker was opposed, to Mr..
Kelley and" the two men made serious
charges against each other. ~
The first indictment charges that on
Dec. 10, 1900, A. T. Kelley collected 1928
on a real estate mortgage belonging to
N. D. Jameson. This money, it is charged
was not turned over to ,Jenneson, but was
appropriated by Kelley to his own per-
sonal use and no accounting has ever been
given to the owner of the mortgage
Another indictment alleges that s422 IS
gage held by Henry Gillian. The money
was never turned over and embezZlement
is charged :~} =
The third Indictment charges the en-
bezzlement of S1,251.7O belonging to
Thomas c. Weeden. the same being col
lected on real estate mortgage
On his part Mr.. Kelley says he can dis
prove any criminality in connection with
all three cases. For one thing he has
Weeden's receipt for the $1,251.7O and he
says he can refute the other charges by
equally strc-lg proofs. - -,

HOME FROM HAWAII
William Henry Eustis Returns From
an Official Visit to the
Islands.
He Made Many Interesting 0bserva.
tions on Various Conditions
While There.

Generous. kindly people those Sand
wich men!" exclaimed William Henry
Eustis, who returned this morning from
Hawaii, whittier he was sent as special
United States commissioner to inspect
federal buildings and sites.
"Now, for examples. While I was going
through a little village saw an old ma
eating poi, that is, he was being fed by
a couple of agreeable looking native girls,
one on each side of him. ' -"
Your children?' I asked him. -.
:" No, wife, both wife, ~ 49, r.
"'You've got two, have your T
answered. We'll, you're luokier than
am added, rather sadly, perhaps.
HE jerked his thumb toward the
younger and prettier girl and remarked:
Don't worry! Take one of mine!
Now, who could be kinder that that?
The old fellow was gentleman no doubt,
but Tn afraid he was a Mormon, also.
It's wonderful how Mormonism has spread
among the natives out there, although
polygamy is not publicly countenanced.
The natives were converted by Protest
ants and were all good Congrega tionalists
until a few years ago but not more than
5000 Protestants are left among the 90 900
full blood natives. All the rest are either
Mormons or Catholics. ri
but the natives are dying off so rap
Idly t1aC tnefe are now only 2O;OUO 1ull-
bloods and about 1000 half breeds. For
merly the islands contained several hun
dred thousand natives. But the present
Hawaiian has lost his grip. He lets the
Chinaman grow the roots from which he
makes his poi and he let's the Japanese
catch all his fish. He is so feeble con-
stitutionally that though his people are
only a fraction of the islands population,
he supplies fully 95 per cent of all the
lepers.
1.-THE native is worthless as a laborer
and the Japanese is inferior to he China
men for that purpose The Jap is too
restless, too fond Of changing his job,
getting full and laying off on holidays.
The planters that raise thesugar on
which the whole business. is the islands
practically depends are naturally anxious
to have Chinese laborers admitted free
The planters want to get Chinese under
long time contracts and the Chinese are
more than willing. -
THE planters are also opposed to reci-
procity, which would injure their sugar
market, they think, and they were pleased
no doubt to hear that congress will give
them a Accent bounty on coffee. This they
consider necessary. -. .....
But aside from the labor uestion and
the threatened reciprocity the islands
have nothing to complain Of They are
unusually prosperous and intensely Amer
lean"

A DIAMOND ROBBERY
Burglars scorned Jewelry and Plate

Some 400 Pounds of the Valuable

from cellar to attic, but the only thing
OF value carried Off beside the black dia-

a Disguise 5000.
