Gave Out Crop Reports to Wall Street.

A scandal has developed in the depart
ment OF agriculture, certain figures re-
specting crop conditions having leaked out
in advance OF publication, to the profit OF
Wall street manipulators. The fault has
been traced to Assistant Statistician
Holmes, who has been dismissed, and
against whom the president has asked AT
torney General Moody TO proceed crimi-
nally, denouncing Holmes as "a greater
scoundrel than II he had stolen or robbed, y
inasmuch as he has used the government
to the benefit of spectators. Chief Statis-
tician Hyde of the department OF agricul-
ture has resigned, because OF Ill health. In
bis letter he states that he has been five
times investigated and each time exoner-
ated, but the strain is too much for him.
His crop reports have been highly re-
garded because of their accuracy.

to have obtained similar samples from the

The samples already had been submitted
to the state dairy and food commissioner
OF Pennsylvania, whose findings are cor
roborated by DR.. Wiley.
'Darymen." said DR.. Wiley, ARE per-
nitted under the law to use such coIoring
matter to impart to their butter rich
yellow color. To render this unnecessary
the Department of Agriculture is now try
ing to educate the popular taste in favor
OF uncolored butter, and We are making
some Roadway. Dairymen are beginning
to realize that the bottle of coal-tar dy,;
IS no longer a necessary adjunct to a sue
cessful dairy.
The amount of .oleomargarine sold IN

NEW BUILDINGS FOR ASsoCIA-
.TIoN IN WEST VIRGINIA.

The first OF a notable series of Young
Mems Christian Association buildings for
every city in West Virginia was opened at
farkersburg with week of events which
eliminated yesterday. This building cost
$4,000, and is one of the handsomest in the
country. Former Senator Camden was one
OF the chief movers and givers Henry G.
Davis the recent democratic candidate for
the wee presidency, was the chief speaker
Inc advancement and development OF
West Virginia. said Mr.. Davis, ARE a
source of personal pride to me. We have
abundance of material resources. The state
has no better asset than it's young men,
and the value of this asset can be increased
or diminished as their moral and material
growth Is expanded or contracted. Bust
ness men want above all things honesty
and uprightness in their employees Cor
porations appreciate the advantage to
themselves of good character in all
branches of their service. The larger rail-
roads and other corporate interests that
give attention to the social and material
analrs OF their workers recognize that
what helps the individual helps the commu-
nifty, and are providing Young Mems Chris
tan Association buildings for the use or
their people,
Citizens of Charleston W. Va, began a
Whirlwind canvass of thirty DAYS for an
association building to end Saturday night
yesterday there was pledged $50 600 and
$4,000 will be raised. Some young men who
undertook to raise 5000 raised $500 by
october 10 and will make their contribution
fully $4,000. An association is yet to be
organized to occupy the building At Fair
mont, coal mining center of 10000 popu-
latlon, stock company was formed to
erect building and $4,000 pledged. This
plan has been abandoned and five subscrip-
lions of 5000 each have been secured
within a week, which, with other pledges,
amount to nearly $4,000.
AT Wheeling the present building has
been outgrown, and Senator j. N Vance
offers $4,000 provided 100000 is secured
for a larger structure
At Grafton a gentleman has given his
property to the association subject to a life
annuity.

ach of the dead man was taken out and
