Fine Work OfDc'ectiyes

While passing through Colum-
bia last week Mr.. George D.
Heath of this place had his dress
suit case stolen from hack in
which he left it, the cabman talk
ing a nap in Mr.. Heuth's absence.
On returning to the hack and MISS
ing his baggage he reported the
matter to detectives Strickland
and Thackham, with the result
that they have recovered tho valies
and contents and have the thief,
John Rabb, behind the bars in
Columbia. Mr.. Heath received
his stolen goods which were
forwarded to him, yesterday. He
says the detectives certainly did
some fine work in recovering
them.

berries, raspberries and b1ackberries are
more grown. Thus on the small plot of
ground that represents one great state will
be found score of different crops growing.
There will be no actual dividing line be-
tween the growing crops, though in the
cases OF the various grasses, wheat, barley
and buckwheat, the line is as distinctively
drawn by wave of color as in the line that
divides the muddy waters of the Mississ
ppi from those of the comparatively clear
Ohio at the junction of the two rivers at
Cairo, Ill.
While the arrangement of the exhibits
i'll the form of the monster map will fasten
the eye more quickly and will challenge the
admiration of every visitor to the Fair, the
agriculturist and horticulturist will find in
the exhibits surrounding the map other eX
hibits of equal interest and Importance.
Pathology of plants is treated i'll an ex-
tensve exhibit in the territory of the map
that would be British Columbia did the map
extend further than the United States. This
exhibit is under the personal direction of
Professor Woods, of the y. S. Department
of Agriculture, and illustrates how the
growing of plants Of economic value are at
fected by diseases peculiar to plant life.
Experiments will be conducted for the bene-
fit of the agriculturist Economic plants
that are already affected are growing the
tract and other areas of strong and healthy
plants of the same species are inOculated
with the spores of the disease and the results
are carefully noted. The blight of the pear,
the black knot on the plum, the potato
blight and all of the other diseases Of plant
life will be shown, and practical experiments
showing the methods of treating will be car
rled on and the results shown.
Plant breeding is given large section to
the east Of the pathology exhibit. Here is
shown the effect and value Of cross fertil
izaton. Varieties of plants are often bene-
fitted by crossing cherries for instance, fer
tilted by their own pollen, show no change
i'll their fruit, but when fertilized by the pol
len of other varieties of cherries show
marked change Sometimes the result is
good and sometimes otherwise. A straw
berry that yields beautifully but is soft and
will not bear shipment, is cross-fertilized
with variety of firmer berry, with the prob
able result after such patient experimenting,
of securing large increase in the yield,
while the fruit will bear long shipment.
From the seed of the fruit grown by cross
fertilization many of the valuable hybrids
are obtained.
A unique feature of the governments
Open-ar exhibit is the school garden that
occupies large section extending (on the

ada from Maine to Minnesota This exhb-
it is under the personal direction OF Prof.
Wheeler, of Michigan, of the United States

space allotted to this exhibit has been cut
up into numerous subdivisions, and each of
the subdivisions in turn is turned over to the

chase Exposition, ST. Louis, is the largest ge-l
geographically correct map ever constructed.I
This map is 40 feet long from east tot
west and extends from north to south 24OI
feet. The map is the main feature of theI
large open air exhibit by the Bureau of
Plant Industry Of the Department of Agri-.
cultured and is personally superintended byI
ID. A. Brodie, late Superintendent of thes
Western Washington Experiment Station,i
under the direction of Prof w. J. Spilman,I
agrostologist of the United States Departs
ment of Agriculture.
The Bureau of Plant Industry is made up
of eight officers comprising vegetable phys,
Illogical and pathological, fibre plant inves-,
tigation, poisonous and medical plants in
vestigation and every phase of plant life.
Each of the eight offices is presided over by
a chief, and by vote of combined offices w.
!. Spillman professor of agrOstOlOgy, was
elected to have complete control of this eX-
hibit authorized by an act of Congress- Mr..
Brodie was selected to have supervision of
the planting and cultivation.
The several acres were fenced off early in
April and the entire tract was richly fert1l-
lied The ground was plowed and har
rowed, the soil pulverized, and the entire
tract sowed to COW peas. This crop not only
enriches the soil, but prevents the growth OF
weeds, and will render the subsequent plow
ing unnecessary. AS the crops to be grown
will be required to be planted at intervals
up to a short time before the opening of the
Exposition, further blowing would prove
impracticable When an exhibit is ready to
be installed the gardeners simply pull up the
COW peas covering the space required. The
ground is found to be in receptive condition
and requires but little work upon it.
The monster map is, of course, the main
feature of this comprehensive exhibit, and
the crop grown on this small farm will cost
the government considerably more than
1000 per acre.
A belt of blue grass lawn 20 feet wide es-
tablishes the boundary and coast lines OF
this gigantic map. The boundary lines be
tween the states are marked by cinder paths
three feet wide The territory comprising
the fourteen states and territories OF the
Louisiana Purchase is marked by white
gravel walk. The states themselves are to
be planted in growing crops OF the principal
agricultural products of the state. The Gin
der and gravel walks serve as promenades,
and are of sufficient width to permit the free
passage of visitors. Thus a labyrinth OF
passageways is created and the visitor may
wend his way through the maze and see
by actual demonstration just what crops
are grown in every part of the United States
and how they are raised. The cereals will
be the features of the great Northwest,
while down in Florida will be seen growing
the pineapple and orange and other semi
tropical fruits and crops. Tobacco will be
a prominent feature of Kentuckys allot-
ment, while sugar cane and cotton will be
found growing in the plots of ground rep
resenting other Southern states.
Not only will the products of each state

who was selected by the Bureau of Plant
Industry to have charge Of the entire open
air exhibit, is one of surprising value and
interest This grass garden occupies on the
ive-acre plot all of the space in the Atlantic
ocean from Maine to Florida, and rounding
the peninsular, occupies large portion of
the Gulf of Mexico, off Florida's west coast.
In the northern section of that exhibit
are series of sand dunes, constructed so as
properly to exhibit the sand-binding grasses.
These grasses send their strong and vgor-
Gus roots down through the shifting sands
and finally entrench themselves in the solid
soil AS the plant becomes more firmly eS-
tablished and sends up its super-growth,
the roots firmly anchor it, protecting it from
the ravages of the wind and holds it in its
place. The plant enriches the barren sand
on which it was originally planted and in
the course of not a great many years rich
soil takes the place of what was once bar
rem sandy stretch of no value.
Off the east coast of Georgia is circular
ties of lawn grasses. These plots are arts
tically arranged and are separated by gravel
walks. The small lawns are marvels of the
landscape gardeners art, and the turf is SO
thick and so we'll kept that it appears as
velvet carpet
Still further south is the section devoted
the pampas grass growing up ten, twelve
and fifteen feet high an dali the other orna-
mental grasses including the ribbon grasses
attaining height of three and four feet
down to the dainty little sweet vernal grass
that seldom reaches foot in height In
this section, as in all the others, the shorter
grass is grown in the plots nearest the huge
map center-piece, while the taller grasses
occupy the spaces on the edge of the ex-
hbit. This aids to the artistic and uniform
appearance of the display, and the view of
no section is impaired.
In the section Of the Gulf of Mexico, west
Of Florida, are the sections given over to the
cultivated grasses, such as timothy, red top,
orchard grasses, English and Italian rye
grasses, etc.
The seed production section will be of i'm
mense value to the agricuturalist. This ex-
hbit occupies that portion of the Gulf of
Mexico extending from Florida to the inter
ior of Mexico Here the seeds frown in all
parts of the world are tested side by side.
AS an example, seed wheat grown in Wash
ington, the Dakotas, Florida, and in Europe,
Asia and Africa, are planted in adjoining
sections. The growth and results are. care
fully noted, and it is thus accurately determ-.
ined for the region where the experiments is
conducted from where the seed should be
obtained to get the best results. Other eX-
periments with all the other important agri-
cultural products are similarly made and the
results may be noted by the visitor to this
City of Knowledge.
Another section west of that devoted to
seed production is one equally important
and interesting, Illustrates the fibre plants,

Trouble appears TO be brewing in
Clifton and Morenci, where there are
fully thirty five hundred Mexcsns and
Italians on strike on account of the
eight hour law. The mine manage.
ment offered the men nine hours pay
for eight hours work, but the offer was
reiested. Several companies of militia,
the Rangers and cavalry company of
U. s. regulars have been rushed to
Morenci to quell any disturbance that
may arise. 1t is said that the strikers
are parading the street and are in a
tumultuous mood, superinduced by
the nse of booze. No one particularly
cares how the 'ter ends, as little
svmpathy can be ca .nded TO corpor-
alton operating in the United States
and working exclusively foreign labor
of the peon class. There are plenty of
our own people to fill any and all
places in this country, without i'm
porting poems from Mexico and Nea-
politans from Italy. OF course, the
low wage paid these peon laborers was
the incentive to i'm mportation, but the
em ployers brought them here and
should be made to stand the brunt OF
any misdoing of their im ported pets.

His Last Hope Realized.

(From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont.)
In the first opening Of Oklahoma to
settlers In 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one fine
day in April. During his travelling
about and afterwards his camping up
on his claim, he encountered much
bad water, which, together with the
severe heat, gave him very severe
diarrhoea which it seemed almost i'm
possible to check, and along in June
the case became so bad he expected to
die. One day one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as a last hope. A big dose
WAS given him while he was rolling
about on the ground in great agony,
and in few minutes the dose was re-
peated. The good effect OF the medi-
cine was soon noticed and within an
bou,. the patient was taking his first
sound sleep for fortnight. That enc
little hottie worked complete cure.
and he cannot help but feel grateful.

In and around the south part OF this
county the past few years tungsten

fact that last year there was consumed
in the United States tungsten ores to
the amount of 100 tons, valued at 3d.

for this metal, and shows that there is
nothing whatever in mining for this
metal alone. Tu gsten ores that carry
