The corn acreage in South Dakota
promises to be fully as great as last sea-
SON, with probable increase in the fax
acreage. The soil throughout the agri-
cultural portion Of the state is in excel
lent condition, and the work of seeding
will be pushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. The farmers will continue
to work early and late in order to finish
seeding. While the season is at least
two weeks late compared with former
years, farmers generally are confident
their crops, owing to the ground being in
first class condition, will be as far adj
vanced the middle Of June or first of
July as customary at that period of the
growing season.

BUILDS A GIGANTIC BIRD.
Toronto Man Is Confident That a,
Has Solved the Aerial Navi-
CATION Problem.

Prof. D'Almeldo. of Toronto, Ont,
Is confident he has discovered the prin-
ciple Of successful aerial navigation. He
has made partially successful test with
his machine, which is built after the
fashion Of a huge bird and weighs 100
pounds. The wings are Of silken canvas
and the frame work Of the machine ia
Of bamboo. The wings are worked by
boat pedals and the operator sits on q
seat in the center Of the machine.
The wings and tail Of the bird were
hxed rigidly in horizontal plane. At a
given signal four men hurled the ma
chine with the professor upon it into the
air and though comparatively short
distance was travelled it was amply sum
cient to show the wings possess the re-
Quired rightly and supporting area.
Another experiment was tried with the
wings free. The action Of the machine
depends upon the weight 1t carries,
dropping in the middle, raising the ends
Of the wings.

United States Mail on Board British
Vessel Seized by Russians
Is Opened.

Washington, Oct. 15.-1t has devel-
oped that pouch containing mail for
the United States cruiser Cincinnati,
then at Nagasaki, Japan, which was
aboard the British steamer Calchas
when that vessel was seized by the
Russian Vladivostok squadron, had
been opened while in the possession
Of the Russian officials, subsequently
resealed and sent on to its destination.
This information came to the post Of
flee department Friday in commune
cation from the japanese postal adj
ministration, in conformity with q
practice always followed when there
has been any mishap in the delivery Of
mail pouches. The matter will be re.
ferred to the state department for &C.
ton, as was done with the case of the
ordinary United States mail on the
vessel at the time she was seized This
latest phase Of the seizure Of the
Calchas mails has caused a painful
surprise in official circles, and if the
act Of opening the pouch addressed to
the Cincinnati was Willingly done the
probability is strong protest will be
lodged with the Russian government

DISCUSS APPROPRIATIONS.
President and Cabinet Consider the
Amounts Needed by the Several
Departments Next Year.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Estimates of
appropriations for the several depart
ments Of the government were under
consideration Friday by the president
and his cabinet. The meeting was at
tended by Secretaries Hay, Morton,
Hitchcock and Metcalf, Attorney Gem
eral Moody and Postmaster General
Wynne. Practically the entire time Of
the meeting was devoted to discus.
sion Of department appropriations.
The estimates Of all the departments
have not been completed yet, but ap-
proximate figures were presented Fri
day by those heads Of departments who
attended the meeting. Secretary
Hitchcock expressed the belief that the
estimates for the interior department
would be about 100000 less than
they were last year. Some of the 9TH
or departments indicated nearly cor
responding reduction in the figures for
expenses.
Some other departmental business
was considered at the meeting, but no
statements concerning 1t were made
public.

BREEDS SILENT BOOSTERS.
Pennsylvania Farmer Raises Crowless
Towls-Beieves Them to Be
a Long-Felt Want.

Realizing that a crowless rooster was
a long-felt want Of poultry lovers.
Charles Ross, Burnwood, Pa, farmer.
has risen to the occasion and bred a
crowless rooster or, rather, q mute
male fowl. Farmer Ross has two SAM
pies Of the crowless bird, both full
grown and silent. Neither has made
any unseemly noise up to date.
Whether they are deaf and dumb
Ross does not know, but they can't,
don't or won't crow. In all other re-
spects they are like other ROSTERS. The
crowless fowls are hybrids, cross of
Black Spanish with Wyandottes.
Whether this result will happen any
time in crossing these two breeds Ross
doesn't know, but he hopes to prove
this latter by further experiments.

MANY LINES SHOW GAINS
TRADE CONDITIONS ARE GEN
ERALLY SATISFACTORY.
Confidence Is Best Shown by In
creased Ease in Making
Collections.

New York, Oct 15-Bradstreet's says:
despite Irregularities, due to warm
weather conditions or to reductions in
crop movement, trade as whole main
tains a satisfactory volume. Nothing
of boom character is to be noted, but
many lines show gains over the cor
responding period of 1908, confirmation
of this being found in best on record
September railway earnings and clear
ings enlarged over last October's week
ly totals. The underlying confidence is,
perhaps, best shown by the increased
ease noted in collections, reports as to
which are better than for nearly two
years past Warm weather, however,
is a drawback to retail business, which
needs the stimulus of sharp, cold
weather. In the southwest rather less
activity is noted because of this, and at
the south there is a general report that
the warm, dry weather, while favorable
to picking cotton, is holding back de-
mand considerably. Eastern trade also
reflects unreasonable weather in its eff
feet upon current demand for fall and
winter wear goods, but there is, in addi-
ton, a backwardness in demand for dry
goods"
R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade says: Progress is slow but sure
in the leading branches of manufacture,
contracts being more readily placed for
distant delivery, while the percentage
Of idle machinery steadily decreases.
Satisfactory news from leading iron and
steel centers tends to strengthen con-
fldence elsewhere, as the consumption
of iron has been found good barometer
Of business conditions. Building oper-

Defend New Positions.
Another dispatch from Gen. Kuro-
patkin, dated early Friday morning,
says regarding the fighting of Oc-
tober IL and 12, that the Russians
on the right wing defended their
advanced positions and also portions
of the different main position, par
Ncularly in the direction Of Sialiuhped-
~, until towards evening, when Kuro-
patkin ordered them to withdraw q
short distance. In spite of the fact
that the Japanese attacks were chiefly
directed against these troops they held
the ground to which they retired. On
the left wing after a very obstinate
struggle the Russians occupied the
rocky hills, south OF Bentsiaputze and
near Bensihu, about eight miles north
Of Yentai, but the arrival Of large
Japanese reinforcements prevented
them from profiting by this success.
and as this body was separated from
the rest of the troops Kuropatkin or
dered it to retire. The dispatch reit-

lions of October IL and 10, from which
1t appears that the Russian center was
due north of the Yentai mines, the
right running west a short distance
beyond the railroad and the left
sweeping southeastward toward Ben

begin until Wednesday when the jap
anese made series of determined at

miles north of Yentai, but the Rus.

SCHOONER LOST
DURING A STORM
WORST DISASTER OFF CAPE COD
IN MANY YEARS.
LlFE-sAvERs UNABLE TO AID
Tremendous Seas Prevent the Launch
ing Of the surfboat-All on
Board, Twelve Persons,
Are Lost.

Chatham, Mass, Oct. ia small
part of the forward section of the hull
and slanting foremost stand as mute
reminders of the ocean tragedy enacted
here Thursday night when the three
masted schooner Wentworth, of Mono
ton, N. B., struck on Chatham bar dur
ing a raging northerly gale, and
all on board persisted in the
terrific seas. With the exception
of the loss of the steamer Port
land in November, 1898, the wreck of the
Wentworth is the worst disaster that
has occurred on the Cape Cod coast dur
ing the last decade.
Twelve Perished.
OF the IL persons who were on board
the stranded vessel not one reached the
shore alive, although two bodies were
rescued from the surf, one of them that
of woman, believed to be the wife of
the captain. With her three children
she was accompanying her husband on
trip from Hillsboro, N. B., to Newark,
N. ].
Life-savers Unable to Help.
Little could be done in an effort to
aid the crew of the disabled craft, as the
Cape Cod life savers from two stations
were unable to launch their surf boats
in the tremendous seas. A shotline was
fired to the schooner, which lay not
much more than 300 yards from shore.
There was one answering pull and the
life savers thought they heard a voice
above the roar Of the surf, crying: Cali
right" but beyond this there was no
sign of life on board the craft Not re-
ceiving another pull on the shotline,
the lifesavers shot more lines to the
vessel. Friday, when the wreckage came
ashore, it was discovered that the first
line had been made fast to the wheel of
the schooner, and it is believed that a
heavy sea swept over the vessel just as
the line was fastened, and that all the
men on deck were washed overheard. 1t
is also believed that those who sought
safety in the rigging climbed the main
and mizzen masts, both Of which fell
early in the morning.
The Wentworth was bound from
Hillsboro, N. B., to Newark, NJ j., with
q cargo Of plaster rock. On board, so far
as known, were the captain, his wife and
three children and crew of seven men
and all were lost.
