DAGGER WITH A HISTORY,
Was Presented to One Alphonse Kara by an Unfriendly Woman
 In the Back.

Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, was collector of Indian relics, and took great interest, also, in autographs, coins and stamps. Often, though, he ridi- culed, good naturedly, collectors hob bies, says the New York Tribune.
 He was showing reporter his Indian robes one day. The young man took up curious antique dagger that lay on buhl table.
 ''This dagger must be very old." he said. Has it history?"
 Tt has indeed" said Senator Quay It is the dagger that Macbeth thought he saw. A descendant of Macbeth gave 1t to me in Scotland several years ago
 Senator Quay smiled. There is only one dagger would trade this for, and that is dagger that used to hang on the wall in Alphonse Karr's study" he said.
 "Karr, in one of his stories. had poke6 good deal of fun at 8 woman named Colet. Mme Colet, enraged at being made a butt of, stabbed Karr He, on his recovery, hung the dagger she had stabbed him with above his desk, with this inscription beneath it:
 Presented to Alphcnse Karr-hy Mime. Colet-in the back. ]"

The local republicans, if present indi- cations amount to anything, are going to have something more than a spelling bee Or a quilting party on their hands this fall The information carried in our news columns yesterday shows that the old liners, the regulars, or whatever name they may be known by, are not going to let the newcomers, the alliance fellows, rule the roost. The efforts now
 being made to get democrats to enroll under the republican banner shows that the party is in desperate straits.
 Our advice to democrats is to have nothing to do with republican squab- bles, particularly so if obliged to give up their right to vote at democratic primaries. If you are going to register at all do so with t4e party you intend to vote with at the fall elections, as well as at the primaries. This is a re- publican shindy; let them have it out.

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 1904.

When all the talk about Parker and Roosevelt has been sifted to the bot rom, swimming, saddle riding, hunting. nsh1ng and farming and all. it will be found that the affair dwindles down to the solid fact that the two old parties are aTrayed against each other as of yore. Democrats against republicans. The issues are not so very far apart, but there is danger of the present in- cumbents abusing their privileges. Do the people of the country want to con tinue in power the party of trusts, of Imperialism, of graft in office? If they do they will vote the republican ticket. If they have become disgruntIed with republican rule and all that goes with 1t, they will vote the democratic ticket. It promises to be a good square light, and let 1t be fair and above board. with no foul tactics, or dishonest methods. In such a contest the democrats have more than a fighting chance.

any ordinary seeds. One class of plants beans, peas, clover. alfalfa, etc have the power to absorb nitrogen from the air. Farmers have long Known that the roots of crop Of clover will so enrich the ground that a crop of wheat following it will be increased over that Of the year before the clover. Why this was so was a problem that scientists have solved. On the roots of these legumes are bacteria tubercles, and these bacteria have the power to absorb nitrogen from the air and apply it to the growth of the plant. Long live the microbe! Likewise the agri- cultural department! Hand in hand they will march forth,sto conquer the barren hillside and the unproductiye waste. They will make seventeen spears Of clover and cowpeas spring where but one sprang before. They will-but why prophecy? Their ac- glorious without overworking the i'm agination as to the future.

Another Grand Free Offer.

The wonders of the new discovery for examining and treating the sick and afflicted have been investigated by great many people since the Radio Chemic Physicians located their suite of offices in the Commercial Building, no Bank street. A large number have been benefited and cured by the scien- tific and conscientious treatments of these skilled and experienced special ists. Others, who would have liked to secure the services of the X-Ray Doc tors, have been prevented by the throngs of people waiting for treat ments. To such as have never been under the care of the Radio-Chemi6 Physicians. those who have been ex- amined but failed to take treatment are also included, is extended an invi- taltion to come to the office within the next two weeks for a gratuitous X-Ray examination. and in addition a free trial treatment. No matter what the nature of the disease is. they will give you their services absolutely without charge or compensation on any day excepting Sunday. The offer is limit ed in time only. and includes also free trial treatments with the X-Ray, Vio- let Light and Mechanics Magnetic Machine.

The department of agriculture is now busy putting up bacteria, a recent dis covery, in yeast cake form. Each cake costs less than cents and will treat clover Or other seed enough for from one to four acres, says an exchange. It was left to one of the officers of the department Of agriculture to learn how to grow these bacteria artifcia1ly and apply them to plants. The results are nothing short of marvellous. The more of the bacteria there are on a plants roots the more nitrogen the plant will extract from the air. Side by side were grown experimental crops of clover in the natural state and inocuIated with these bacteria; the natural clover yield ed 372 pounds, the inoculated clover 6,292 pounds, or nearly seventeen times as much. This alone would be a dis covery worth making even If the new cure could be applied only to clover, peas and beans. But the amount of nitrogen obtained to benefit future crops of other kinds was from natural clover 4.3 pounds, from inoculated 143.7 pounds, or thirty-three times as much. Clover and beans treated with these bacteria will grow on quartz sand that has been heated to redness to expel any nitrogen 1t might hold. Such sand would be absolutely barren to

If all the railways of the country were to stop business at once 1t would throw about million and half of people out Of employment, according to the last report of the interstate com merce commission. The actual num- Der of persons on the payrolIs of the railways of the United States is 1,312,- 537, or 639 per 100 miles of line These figures, when compared with cor responding ones for the year 1902, show an increase of 123,222 in the number of employees, or 45 per 100 miles of line. The classification of em- ployes includes enginemen, 52,993; fire men, 56,O41; conductors, 39,741, and other trainmen, 1O4,8S5, There were 49,961 switch tenders, crossing tenders and watchmen. With regard to the four general divisions of railway em- ployment it appears that general ad- ministration requires the services of 45,222 employees; maintenance of way and structures, 433,648 employees; main- tenance of equipment, 53,8S9 em- ployes; and conducting transportation, 576,8s1 employees. This statement dis regards a few employees of which no as- signment was made. The usual state ment of the average daily compensation Of the eighteen classes of employees for series of years IS continued in the present report, which shows also the aggregate amount of compensation paid to more than CT per cent of the number of employees for the year 1903 and more than 99 per cent for the six years pre- ceding. The amount of, wages and sal aries paid to employees during the year ending June 30, 1903, as reported, was $757, ,321 ,415; but this amount, as com, pared with the total reported for the year 1902, is understated for want of returns by s18,ooo,ooo at least.
