Our Enormous Egg Crop.

The egg and poultry earnings of the
United States for one recent year
amounted TO s2SO,0O0,O0O. Such an
amount is sufficiently amazing. as it
stands. but You don't get its full sig
niiicance until you study the relative
financial values OF other 'industrials."
We find. for instance. that the total
value of the gold, silver. wool and
sheep produced in America during tine
year In question was s272, ,iSi ,3;5. The
sugar production of the country the
same year was but s20.0O0.0O0. The
part of the wheat crop used at home.
which many consider the most valuable
OF a.i our agricultural products, was
worth s229. 100000. The great Ameri'
can hog. as consumed at home and
abroad brought slS5, 529.O35. The value
OF the oat crop was s7S,9Si 800. Pota-
toes grown in the United States were
valued at nearly as large a sum as
were the oats. The product OF tobacco
plantations was estimated TO be worth
35,579 225. Cotton, the dethroned
king of staples. could show only $780,
lGl Gao. as against the magnificent
earnings OF Its ieathered rival.

MONUMENT UNVEILED
SITE OF BsecHER ISLAND FIGHT.
Ceremonies Under Charge Of the
Grand Army Of the, Republic
. Address by General
FORSYTH

Denver, Sept. ia News special
from Wray, Colorado last night says:
The Beecher island reunion closed to-
day with the unveiling of the monu-
ment this afternoon. heavy rain
last night greatly marred the ardor of
the crowd, and the rain continuing all
the forenoon, many of the people had
started for home. However, there We're
several hundred present and the beau
tiful ceremony was carried out in its
entirety.
The unveiling was In charge of the
department of Colorado and wyoming,
G.. A. r., and was to have been directly
in charge of Dr. Curfman, the depart
ment commander, but owing to sick
ness in the family he was unable to
be present, but Adjutant General Dan
iels was present and represented him
in the work, assisted by the depart
ment chaplain, Dr.. Brooks of Fort
Morgan. The night Colonel Carpenter
arrived on the island with the relief
for the scouts they all Joined in singing
"Tenting Tonight" and the ceremony
of unveiling the monument opened by
singing this song.
As the words fell from the lips of
the singers tears fell from the eyes of
the survivors standing within the rail
ing about the monument. At the CON
cluslon of the song General Forsyth
stepped forward and with short, but
appropriate address, dedicated the
statue 10 the heroes dead, to the heroes
living and to the heroes of posterity.
After his address Adjutant General
Daniels proceeded with the regular
ceremonial service Of the G. A. r., and
Just at the close Miss Alice Donovan
pulled the string that held the yelling,
and the beautiful statue stood forth
free to view, a notable memory 10 the
purpose for which II was erected.
As the veil fell to the base cheer
after cheer rent the air. This closed
the best reunion ever yet held at the
island, but now that 1t is assuming per-
manency through the efforts of the as
sociation, and mostly through the ef-

In addition TO the monument, there

The battle of Beecher island began
September II, 1865. and continued for
nine days, during which the Ameri-
cans withstood the assaults of 1000
Cheyenne and Arapahoe Indians. under
the personal command of that fearless,
sagacious and extremely cruel chief,
Roman Nose. Among those who gave
up their lives in this memorable strug-
gle on the then barren plains of
eastern Colorado was young Fred

A PEACE CONFERENCE
PROPOSED BY czAR OF RUSSIA,
Powers will Be Invited to Send Repre-.
sentatlves to The Hague-Japan
Included in the List.

ST. Petersburg, Sept. 19.-Emperor
Nicholas to-day again appears before
the world as promoter of universal
peace. No sooner is the Russo-Japan-
ese war over, and even before the
peace treaty has been ratified, than his
majesty issues invitations to second
peace conference at The Hague. That
the Emperor has done SO was learned
to-day from source which leaves no
shadow of doubt as to Its authority.
1t is officially announced that the
Russian government purposes to ad-
dress the foreign powers with a view
to the holding Of a second peace con
ference at The Hague" but 1t is
known that negotiations preceding this
announcement that the government
proposed to address the powers were
entered into especially with the United
States and We're conducted with the
greatest secrecy, there being not the
slightest inkling that Russia contem-
plated anything of the kind.
The announcement created the great
est surprise here and that Russia
should plan second conference de-
spite the steps already taken by Pres
ident Roosevelt was also heard with
amazement 1t is clear that the step
could not be taken by Russia without
first reaching a complete understand
ing with President Roosevelt. The
fact that President Roosevelt Is re-
ported as being entirely in sympathy
with the proposal and that he is said
to believe that to the initiator of the
first Hague conference should belong
the honor of convoking the second, and
readily and gladly acceded to the Rus
sian proposition, is clear proof that
the conference has already been called
and that President Roosevelt relin.
Quished his part in II to the Emperor.
There Is strong reason to believe that
the news even of the intention of the
Russian government would not be
given out unless invitations had al
ready been sent TO the powers and
possibly their answers had been ro-
ceived.
In this connection an interesting
question arises as to how the invita-,
tion was communicated to Japan In
view of the lack of diplomatic rela.
tions, but the invitation may be de-
layed until such relations have been
resumed, or II may have been for
warded through the United States.
II was impossible to learn tonight
the proposed date of the second con.
ference, or to gain even an approx.
mate idea regarding 1t, but it probably
will not be greatly delayed. Russia,
as the power convoliing the confer.
ence, viii probably submit an official
program, the other powers submitting
suggestions

THE STORY OF RUTH.

The story of Ruth is one of those exqui-
site idyls of love and domestic life which
brings remote ages close to our hearts. while
all the splendid incidents Of solemn history
leave antiquity at a distance measured by
the centuries that have rolled between. 1t
is the classical instance of friendship be-
tween two women. What David and iona
than are for men, that for the other sex are
Ruth and Naomi. And, strange contradic-
ton to modern fippancy, is the passionate
love of girl for her mother-in-law. Who
soever then would be interested in Ruth
must learn to take an interest in the elder
friend. Naomi. Nor is this difficult. Through
the dimness of centuries still discern
one of those personalities which sway
toward themselves all who approach. At a
time when personal names meant something
she bore the name "Winsome." A genera.
ton ahead of the beautiful Ruth, Naomi had
her reign of beauty: when in the story she
comes to her native city brOken-hearted
widow, there is a stir of excitement, as the
return of one who had been the charmer of
all hearts. Sadness. quietneSs, strength
these make the notes of her life melody-but
she had the gift of making strength attract
