by a torpedo boat and a naval steam

ANOTHER SCANDAL LIKELY.
Department of Agriculture Is Under
Fire.

Fire.
If the scandal in the department of
agriculture, involving the integrity of
the crop reports, should develop into
such gigantic an affair as is now init
mated may be possible it would far
overshadow the postoffice departments
troubles.
Originally it was merely charged
that there had been a leakage, by
which advance information reached
spectators concerning the report on
the cotton crop. This caused the sus-
pension of Edwin S. Holmes, assistant
statistician of the department. Then
came the more serious charge that the
figures of the crop conditions had
been tempered with and the public had
been given a dishonest report. while
favored spectators had been permit
ted to know the truth.
On the heels of this report of the
manipulation of the figures came the
intimation, from Secretary Cheatham
of the Southern Cotton association,
that before he was done he would raise
serious question as to the honesty of
all the crop reports This brings the
matter up close to the northern and
western farmer, as it has already been
brought to the southern planter.
The allegation involves the reports
on corn, wheat, oats, fruits, hay and
every agricultural staple. The gov
eminent reports have been supposed
the most reliable.

FRAUDORDERIS SUED
POSTMASTER GENERAL CUTS OUT
BUSINESS OF ST. LOUIS BANK.
Company Cannot Use the Mails
Differing Offers Are Made to the
Public in Their Advertisements of
the Great Profits to Be Made by
Buying Stock.

Postmaster General Cortelyou has
announced the issuance of a fraud or
der against the Peoples United States
bank of St. Louis, Mo-, its officers and
agents, and E. G. Lewis, a publisher,
effective July 8. The action bars the
company from the use of the mails,
after an investigation by the postal
authorities as to the details of the
business of the institution. The post
master general, in his announcement
tonight, says:
ut is understood that the funds of
the bank, which have not been borrow
ed by Mr.. Lewis in his enterprises,
amounting to about two thirds of the
total amount RENTED. are deposited
in banks and will be available toward
reimbursement of the stockholders,
who number upward of $4,000. 1t is
the intention of the officers of the
postoffice department to cooperate
with the secretary of state in Missouri
in every proper way for the interests
of the investors and depositors."
The Peoples United States bank
was incorporated November IA, 1904.
capital stock was increased March Is,
1905, to $2.5O0,0O0, of which 100000
was paid in.
The men chosen for the first board
of directors we're Edward G. Lewis,
Frank J. Cabot, Augustine p. Coakley,
Eugene w. Thompson and Guy A. Ar
bogast
10. G. Lewis began advertising the
bank in the February. 1904, issue of
the Woman's Magazine, a publication
which he owned and controlled and
which he had been publishing in st.
Louis at the time for about a year.
This publication has continued to car
ry the advertisement of the bank ever
since that time.
Early statements regarding the
bank were filled with hope and prom
Use. In the Woman's Magazine for
July, 1904, 1t was stated by Lewis:
"Since my article appeared in our
last issue over 10000 subscriptions to
the capital stock of our bank have
been received.
Differing Promises.
81 am to turn nearly everything /
have into cash. outside of my stock
holdings in my present publication
business, and expect to subscribe for
at least $4,000 900 of the stock of our
bank l must pay cash exactly the
same as you do, for my stock, as there
is no promoters stock in this bank
When it opens it's doors there will be
a dollar in cash i'm the vaults for every
dollar of capital stock, and every dol
lar of my profits will go to increase
the reserve of the bank each year.
ALREADY the enormous success of
the bank is assured. One banker OF
Chicago has offered to place 81, 900, 900
of our stock in a single day. A San
Francisco banker subscribed for $780,
900 Of the stock, but was permitted to
have only $500, and IL any of my read
ers fail to get in before all the stock
Is subscribed l shall not let this bank
er have the 100000"

The Girl LOafer.

A girl loafer. That does not sound
very pretty, does it? And yet there are a
good many girls whom the title fits. In
other words, there are girls who spend
their time doing absolutely nothing. Cir
cumstances do not render it necessary for
them to earn their living, and so they stay
at home and fritter the precious moments
away in useless pursuits of idleness.
Don't good many of them lie in bed in
the morning and let their mothers get up
and get breakfast? And don't you think
they also dress up in their best clothes
and spend the afternoon enjoying them
selves while their mothers stay home and
prepare the evening meal? And when
they are home they spend their time read
lug trashy novels or trimming equally
trashy hats.
When a girl goes to party and is late
in getting to bed she looks on it as quite
proper and natural that she should be in
bed late the next morning, and all the
family accepts the fact as matter OF
course. But if the mother is up half the
night with an ailing baby neither hel
lazy daughter nor any other member o1
the family seems to think it necessary
that she should stay in bed and make ur
her broken sleep.

Man Improved by Marriage.

"Did you ever notice how it improves
man to be married." This query was
propounded by young Southern woman
here. "You can always depend upon it
that it is a married man who shows you
all the courtesies in an elevator; it is a
married man who stands up for you in
the street car, and it is a married man
who does all the chores at a picnic. The
most thoughtless, irresponsible kind of a
single man becomes a veritable model OF
amiability after he gets him wife.
suppose his wife has so drummed good
manners into him that he has to keep
practicing all the time to keep in trim.
believe business men have more respect
for a married man, too. They succeed
better in everything they do. Why, only
the other day there was baseball game
between the married>men and the single
men. Who won? The married men, OF
course. And you can't tell me their
wives did not have something to do with
