Miss Marie Wright. 2 Domestic IN
the home OF Mr.. and Mrs W., G. os-
born. OF West Main street, took sud
den leave about I o'clock Sunday
evening, with severai articles of
wearing apparel belonging to Mrs
Osborn. Her departure and the THEFT
we're discovered shorty afterward.
She had told domestic in neigh

Petersburg to visit a sister. and
NJ. Osborn Immediately enlisted the
services Of Policeman simms- In
Quiry at the depot that evening fall
ed to show that she had purchased a
ticket for Parkersburg. but later at
night it was ascertained that she had
bought a ticket for Lumberport- As
there was no train out at night for
that point, she remained until morn

simms were there brigt aud early

Interior Of the train carefully. but
failed to find her. Nr osborn again
went through the train Two minutes
before it started and spied her. he
hastily called Policeman simms-
They boarded the train and took her
on at Adamston.
Confesses the Theft.
She confessed 70 the theft after
they had found her with fine black
hat. silk skirt, another skirt and
one or two other articles belonging
to Mrs. Osborn. She surrendered
these without protest expressing sor-

Miss Wright came from Wallace a
week ago last Saturday night to en-
ser ;,re homie of Mr. Osborn as a
domestic. Nothing is known of her
former history. She seemed to be a
trustworthy girl and the theft was a
revelation to Mrs. Osborn.
Does 1t slyly
the theft was most artfully com
mftted Mrs. Osborn was indispos-

and apparently busted herself at
something else, while she was getting
the stolen articles together, in order
not to arouse suspicion. and left
without informing any one at the
house that she was going away. The
theft was doubtless premeditated as
she had packed part of her belong

articles were packed with hers IN a

carried In paper bag. With this
by her side in the car it was easy to

Mr.. Macfarland outlined the history of the
District of Columbia from It's establish
ment, 1o5 years ago. spoke of what had
been already achieved and predicted greater
things for the future. He reminded his
hearers that George Washington had been
in every sense the founder of the city, Sc
lecting the site. directing the plans, begging
Washington for the national government
from the nineteen original proprietors, and
embodying In the federal city his national
ideas and his prophecy of the future great
ness OF the nation. If Washington had not
died the year before the national govern
ment moved from Philadelphia to Washing
ton, Mr. mcfarland said, he believed that
the national government, under George
Washington's influence. supplemented by
that of Thomas Jefferson, who was equally
friendly might have begun to care for the
national capital from the beginning. But
as 1t was, the national government neglect
ed it's duty to the national capital for sew
enty-eight years and compelled the resi-
dents of the District to bear during that
time the whole cost of the maintenance of
the national capital.
During the past quarter OF a century, un-
der the present form of government OF the
District. the United States had contributed
one-half Of the expenses, and this half a
loaf was so much better than no bread that
it had been generally acceptable. Mr.. Mac
farland described Senator Hoar's plan.
which he pronounced ideal, OF having the
United States pay whatever might be nec-
essary to develop and maintain the nations

ON CROP REPORTING
SECRETARY WILSON'S REMARKS
ON THE KEEP COMMISSION.

The report of the Keep commission as to
the reorganization Of the crop estimating
and crop reporting work of the Agricul-
tural Department Is not likely to result In
any immediate and radical changes. The
Secretary of Agriculture has naturally
talked the matter over with the President
and given his views on the subject, and
most of the essential changes in the de-
partment'e work that are suggested In the
Keep report will have to have the sanction
of Congress.
The Secretary of Agriculture. In speaking
of the matter today said that many OF the
changes in method suggested In the report
were already being adopted by the depart
ment and their complete working out would
take some time. AS TO the reduction In the
5000 crop reporters recommended by the
Keep commission. that would not save any
money, as they were now paid merely In
seeds and publications and received no reg
sular salaries. The extra payment of the
state inspectors. the Secretary said. was q
matter that the department had been anx-
ious about for gorne time 1t had wished to
give them moro money, SO that they could
do more travelling and mako closer per-

HISTORY OF DISTRICT
MR. MACFARLAND'S ADDRESS BE-
FORE MEMS CLUB.

The rise and development of the District
of Columbia was the subject OF an address
delivered last evening before the Mems Club
of the First Congregational Church, 10th
and G streets northwest, by Commissioner
mcfarland The address was the feature
of the regular monthly meeting OF the club.
and was listened to attentively by about
fifty members and their friends. The club
was formed about year ago and started
with a membership OF about twenty, and 1t
has now increased to membership of
seyenty-fye The officers are Leonard j.

sonal inspection of the situation. But this
was matter that would need a larger ap-
preparation.
As to the transferring of any of the re-
porting from the Department Of Agricul-
ture to the census office. the Secretary said
that was matter for Congress. The agency
Of making the reports was fixed by law,
and could not be changed without congress
sionah action.
Accuracy Of the Reports.
The question Of accuracy in the reports
was one Of the somewhat tender points with
the Secretary. and in regard to this he said:
1T you look over the reports for the past
six years you will see that the report Of
the production of cotton has come within
fraction of per cent Of the ginners' res,
port from the census bureau. Now, that
ginners report is the only place where we
can put definite check against the work
of our crop reporters. When you find the
two reports coming within fraction Of
per cent of each other 1t indicates pretty
be much improved. And when the cotton
report checks up that well where Is the
warrant for inferring that any of the other
crop reports are less accurate?
The vacancy that was created In the
board OF crop estimates by the death Of
Mr.. Hutchins will probably be filled at an
early date by some man from the south
it is understood that the man has already
been selected. but the appointment has not
yet been announced. The removal OF AS
sistant Secretary Hays from the chair

Justice to Mr.. Hays himself. Speaking of

Justice to Mr. Hays himself. Speaking of
this the Secretary said:
"Mr Hays naturally has to be in touch
with and familiar with the work Of all the
bureaus OF the department. When l am
away he has to take my place, and nat
urally want to relieve him Of the specific
work Of the crop board as soon as possible
as this is the slack season. His successor
has not been selected"
Transfer to Census Bureau Recon-
mended.
The report says that in every instance ex-
cept in the case Of three cotton reports In
the last six years the bureau of statistics
estimates have been underestimate. The
Understanding has been especially great In
the case of cereal crops and live stock The
conclusion OF the committee is that the;
methods of the bureau OF statistics must be
greatly improved or the service discon-
tinued. The report makes various sugges-
lions looking to Improvement of the service.
1t recommends that in the casesof cotton
the percentage figure of condition be con-
yerted into bales of indicated weight by
well-known commercial formula. 1t recon-
mends the transfer OF the determination of
the cotton acreage planted from the bureau
OF statistics to the bureau of the census. A
large diminution In the number of corre-
spondents of the bureau is also favored.
An important recommendation of the re-
port IL that the bureau of statistics. In the
case OF cotton. confine its work to It's MONTH
1y reports expressing the condition of the
growing crop during the growing season.
Not only should the acreage planted be de-
termlned by the census bureau BY process

Public Spirit Of Citizens
He praised the public spirit and patriotic
service Of the District people,, who had so
long maintained the municipal services
without assistance, and were now doing
their full share toward national capital
making and maintenance. He spoke of
what had already been accomplished, and
said nat greater things were to be done
I'm the future. He said that intelligent
Americans everywhere were enthusiastic In
their desire to see their country,s capital
made finer than any other In the world.
Wherever he went in the country he found
this spirit and he felt sure that senator's
and representatives would find hearty sup
port from their constituents in all their eff
forts for the national capital.
The new interest of the country In WASH

"A real live railroad magnate re-

railroad all to himself. This morning
the gentleman left for his road, which
is now nearing completion, to put
the finishing touches to the track
work. He carried two long handled
shovels with him to perform the
work with. He stated his road would
be ready for operation this week.
Mr.. Brack Owen, of the Carbon
dale, KY, coal mines, is the magnate.
He has one small branch road run
ming from his mines to the I c., but
the route was inconvenient and he
set about to build an independent
railroad 1t runs from Handy Sta
ton on the /. G. TO Bucksnort In
Hopkins county, distance of
three miles. There will be one
engine TO work the trains. While tho
road is not built for passenger SER

Mr.. Owen will shortly receive bids
for an engine, which will constitute
his motive power. The road cost him
$4,000.
