MANY SLAIN IN THE WOODS.
Appalling List of Fatalities During
Deer Hunting Season.

Deer Hunting Season.
One hunter was killed or wounded for
every siXty-tive deer killed in the north
woods of Wisconsin and northern Michi-
gan in the hunting season which has just
closed. FOrty-two nimrOds were either
slain outright or died from their wounds
many Of them being shot down by over
jealous hunters, who fred at anything
that moved the brush and underground
ahead of them. Twenty others were
wounded. many of them seriously, and
the death total may be swelled by sew
eral additions in the course OF the next
fortnight
With all this sacrifice of life the hunt
ing season was not successful from the
standpoint of game. 1t is estimated that
not more than 1000 deer were killed in
the twenty open days. This is one-third
less than the total of a year ago. The
falling off is attributed to the lack of
snow in the woods, which made it impOs
sible to track the deer, except with dogs,
and this is forbidden by law
Even this frightful list of hunting cas-
ualties, due in almost every instance to
some ones carelessness, is exceeded by
the list Of dead and wounded due to ac
c;dentS to hunters of ducks, partridges,
rabbits, and other small game.
- There is again some talk of the enact
ment of a law in Wisconsin similar to
that of Michigan. which makes the kill
ing of a man by mistake for deer
manslaughtor. and punishable by ten,
year term in prison.

CORN OUR GREATEST CROP.
Last Year Its Direct Value Nearly
TofaiIed 81 ,OOO,OO0,0O0.

TofaIIed 81, OO,OO0,000.
On corn the prosperity Of the United
States depends in larger measure than
it does upon any other single article.
The State of Illinois-the greatest corn
producing State in the Union-2lOnc pro
duced during 1902 great deal more than
half as much corn as the whole OF Eu,
rope-namely, 261,0S1 ,431 bushels aS
compared with 422 $4,000 bushels. The
total production of South America, At
RIGA and Australasia was not much more
than half Of that Of Illinois.
The value Of the 1903 crop was estl-
mated by the Department Of Agriculture
at close on a billion dollars, but that was
only the direct value Of the crop when
harvested and sold or awaiting sale in
the farmers hands. 1t took no account
of the many other uses to which corn
is put For example, the live stock in
dustry OF the United States, which, with
all its countless ramiGcations, is by far
the greatest industry of its kind in the
world. is very largely dependent on the
corn crop. 1t has been estimated that
over 100000 sheep and 100000 beef
steers are fattened in the great corn belt
which has Springfield, ILL.,, for its CEN
Ter. And then there are chickens, hogs
and dairy cows innumcrable.
Illinois corn last year was worth more
than $50 000,000-about one-tenth the
value of the crop, and about $50 for
every man, woman and child in the State.
Iowa came next with a crop worth over
SS7 100000. That is more than the ma
tianal revenue of either Austria, Hun
gary, China. Canada, Belgium, or the
whole British colonies, excluding Can
ada. India and Australia.
The State Of Illinois gets far more
money for It's corn crop than the COM
hined revenue of all the Latin-American
governments except the four most impor-
tant oncs-MeXico, Chill, Argentine and
Brazil. Take the sixteen sovereign re-
publics of Hayti, Santo Domingo, Sal
vador, Costa RIGA, Honduras, Guate-
maIa, Nicaragua. Colombia, Venezuela,
Ecuador, Peru, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bo-
livia, Cuba and Panama, and you will
find that their national revenues do not
exceed S10000.000 annually. Illinois
gets $25OO0,OO0 more for her corn crop.

The annual report of the Secretary
of Agriculture, James Wilson. for
1904 contains extremely interesting
reading and valuable information re-
lating to the agricultural interests Of
the country.
The following is quoted in part:
As great rs the financial successes Of
agriculture were III 1858, hitherto with
out equal, those OF 1904 advanced some
what beyond them. While some products
have fallen behind in value others have
more tlian filed the deficit, and the gen
eral result is that the farmers have pro-
duccd in value much more wealth than
they ever did before in one year
Wealth IN Corn and Cotton.
Orc conspicuous item that has contrib
uted TO this is the corn crop. With
quantity closely approaching 2,500,000,-
600 bushels, near the record crop of 1902,
the high price of this year gives this
crop a farm value much greater than it
ever had before, far exceeding $1,000
100000. With this crop the farmers
could pay the national debt and the in

Carnegie knew anything of the woman
was denied on behalf of the irOnmaster.
1t was said that this same 100000 note,
bearing the name Of Mr.. Carnegie. was
used in securing numerous other loans
from Ohio banks besides the Oberlin III
stitutiOn and finally was the chief means
in obtaining the loan of $190,SO0 from
Mr.. Newton of Brookline, Mass, upon
which Mrs. Chadwick was sued.
From the various statements of the
persons who have loaned the woman such
immense sums of money came the assur-
ance that they believe her to be possess
ed of several millions in securities, some
placing it as high as $5.O00,O00. All
agree, however, that such securities as
she has are tightly locked up in the
vaults of the Oberlin bank in sealed
packages. The Citizens National Bank
