Denver, March 31.-The Republican

David H. Moffat returned from the
East last evening, wearied by his trip,
but elated ovei' the fact that he has
been able to finance the Denver, North

ner quite satisfactory to himself. He
went directly to the DeIHer Club,
where, after a brief rest, he prepared
the following statement:
Il have made such satisfactory ar
rangements in the East as will enable
me to go on with the Denver, North
western & Pacific railroad as orig
inally contemplated.
MY associates in the East are not
connected with any of the trunk line

soon as weather conditions will per-
nit, and hope to reach Hot Sulphur

surances that / shall have money as
fast as the necessities of construction
require. to enable me to go on to Salt

Importing ouails.

Quail husbands are in great demand
in Colorado because quaildom is be-
coming practically an Adamless
Eden. To meet the emergency.
John Mccartney is importing three
dozen male birds from Massachu-
sets and will turn them loose
on his ranch near Brighton. He
was granted a permit in the office OF
the state game and fish commissioner
yesterday to bring the birds into the
state. Quails mate in pairs, and Mr..
Mccartney reports that in his section
there are at least ten female birds for
every male, SO that most of the fe-
males Matched are doomed to become
old maids. The result is race suicide
of the worst kind, and unless some
thing be done to check 1t, Colorado will
lose its quail.
The three dozen ROSTERS that are to
be imported are of the Bob White"
kind, and, coming from so near Bos-
ton, they may not pronounce 1t like the
western top knot quails that are COM
mon in Colorado. However. the Colo
RADIO maidens are not shy and will soon
take the imported husbands in hand.

kali in their bugs and worms.-Denver

The experimental farm at Lincoln
reports:
In 1902:

per acre, ALT bushels.
Texas Red, matured in 112 days,
yields per acre, $50 bushels.
Silver Mine, matured in 104 days

In 1903:

yields per acre, SIS bushels.
American Banner, matured in 105
days, yields per acre, 45.6 bushels.
White Queen, matured in 105 days,
yields per acre, 40.3 bushels.
The bulletin says that the kherson
oat is peculiarly suited to central and
western Nebraska, on account of its
habits of growth. Although it usually
yields well in eastern Nebraska, there
are other varieties that in the river
counties at least compare favorably
with it. West OF that. the tests that
have been made of it during the three
years. 1901, 1902, and 1903, indicate
that it is earlier. yields better, and
weighs heavier than any other variety.
with the possible exception of the
Texas Red oat on the Station farm.
In the dry season of 1901 it showed
remarkable drough-resisting qualities.
This is an indication that 1t ought
to do well in Colorado.

ramperina With Witnesses.

Chicago, March 31.-Conspiracy in
dictments are threatened against
heads of big meat packing concerns
unless alleged tampering with wit
nesses who have been summoned to
testify before the federal grand jury
is discontinued at once. With two
witnesses on the stand yesterday who,
it is asserted, admitted that they had
been approached with a suggestion
that their testimony be mild, the jury,
it is declared, is getting ready to take
drastic action.

witnesses" said Assistant Attorney
General Pagin last night, "even If we

New Moffat Road Manager.

Denver, April 4.-President David
II. Moffat of the Colorado-Utah Con-
struction Company and the Denver,
Northwestern & Pacific Railway Com
pany, yesterday announced the APP
pointment of w. A. Deuel. as general
superintendent of those companies in
place of A. c. Ridgway. who recently
resigned to take the position of gen
eral manager Of the Denver & Rio
Grande railway. Mr.. Deuers appoint
ment is effective May LIST.
The appointment of Mr.. Deuel. as
general manager of the Moffat railroad
interests comes as a surprise to the
railroad world. Mr.. Deuel. has, since
he began his career as a railroad man,
with the exception of few years in
the service of the Denver & Rio
Grande, been connected with the Union
Pacific system. 1t was thought that
he was fixture with this road, and
that he would never again leave its en-
ploy. He was for many years resi-
dent of Denver and Pueblo, and Is one
of the most widely-known and popular
railroad men in the West.

Dynamiter's Sanity Questioned.

New York, March 31.-Gessler Ros-
seau, the convicted dynamiter, may
be subjected to an investigation as
to his sanity. When Rosseau was
found guilty of sending an Internal
machine to the liner Umbria, and con-
sessed that it was he who attempted
to blow up the statue of Frederick the
Great, 1t was announced that sentence
would be pronounced to-day.

Goff is not satisfied to pass sentence
without first learning more about the
dynamiter, and mas decided to defer
sentence pending an investigation into
the prisoners antecedents, character
and state of mind and health.

The Minnesota Agricultural Expert
ment Station propounds the following
statements in regard to seed wheat:
1. Poor seed is not reliable
2. Poor seed gives inferior quality
and quantity.
8. Rusted wheat may have good
termination and the plants may start
vigorously, but such crop could not
withstand unfavorable conditions.
A.. The better the seed as may be
seen or determined by weight, the bet
ter the crop in every way.
5. The better the seed Is cleaned,
the better the crop. especially in
yield.
6. Rusted wheat, when well graded
and relieved of all shrunken kernels,
makes good seed.
Z. Rust resistent varieties are pos
sible.
s. 1t does not pay to change seed
grain.
o. Invariably test seed for germina-
ton before planting.

THE FARM AND RANGE
kherson Dat. for Arid Lands.

A bulletin Of the Nebraska expert
ment station gives the results OBJ
tanned in that state from experiments
with new kind of oats imported from
the arid region of Kberson in Russia.
The Kherson oat Is described as a
vigorous. but not rank grower. The
straw Is short. and on the same land
1t stands shorter than any other oat
tested at this station. although the
Sixty Day." another Russian variety,
lately imported by the United States
Department Of Agriculture. is nearly
as short. The leaves are very broad,
and expose a large surface. The pani-
cles are spreading: |. e., 1t is not a
side oat- The berries are light yellow
in color, small but numerous, and have
a very thin hull. They usually weigh
well per bushel. and in this respect, as
well as in yield per acre. they have
led all other varieties at this station.

R0CKEFELLER'S GIFT
OPPOSED BY MANY cLEReyMEN
Oil McnopoIst's Gift to Foreign Mis-
sions Awakens Many Earn
est Protests.

Boston. March 31.-Despite the fact
that the prudential committee of the
American Board of Commissioners for
Foreign Missions has practically de-
cided to accept the gift of 100000
from John d. Rockefeller to further
the work of the board, a committee
representing the Congregational cler-
gymen of Boston and vicinity who are
opposed to the acceptance of the gift
met yesterday and decided to continue
the protest.
1t was agreed by the members Of
the committee that a wide expression
of opinion on the question was desir-
able, and for this purpose commit
tee was appointed to submit the facts
and documents in the matter to the
Congregational ministers of the coup-
try.
The prudential committee will not
take final action on the acceptance of
Mr.. Rockefeller's gift for two weeks.
and it is the intention of the protest
ing committee to learn, if possible, the
of the denomination.
DR.. Washington GLADDEN. of Column
bus. Ohio, and President Tucker of
Dartmouth College were in communi-
cation with the committee by tele
gram and letter. President Hucker
wrote lin part:
AS regards the general position
taken by the defenders of the action
of the prudential committee in accept
ing Mr.. Rockefeller's gift, that mis-
sionary organization has no right to
discriminate in regard to the money
received lest it passed unwarranted
judgment upon the business methods
of the donor, take issue at once. The
acceptance by the American Board of
a gift from this source, under the
present conditions, must mean one of
two things-either the board believes
that the business methods involved
are correct or that they are a matter
of moral Indifference so far as the
reception of the money is concerned
For one, / do not like to see the Ameri-
can Board take either one of these
positions. Such action hurts the con-
science of the coming generation more
than that of the generation which is
passing. 1t is not an incentive to mis-
sionary zeal. No organization set to
the high and lasting ends of Christian
service can allow itself to be thought
Indifferent to the moral issues of the
day whenever these issues are neces.

Coal Mine Explosion.

Benton. ILL.,, April 4.-Some fifty
miners were entombed yesterday in
Joseph Letters mine at Zeigler by
terrific explosion of gas, and it is
probable that thirty or more of the
buried men are dead. Thus far four
bodies have been found. The explo-
sion was due to thu fact that the
Letter mines are not worked on Sun
day. thus allowing gas to accumulate
in the lower workings.
When between thirty-five and forty
five miners had descended into the
mine yesterday to resume work. ter
rife explosion blew the timbers about
the mouth of the mine high into the
