State Happenings.

Missouri Wheat, 100000 Bushels.
Columbia-The wheat yield this year
In Missouri, according to the report
issued by Secretary Ellis of the state
board of agriculture will be better
than the estimate of thirty million
bushels made in July. Secretay Ellis
will publish soon the actual yield of
wheat by counties.
Threshing is practically finished, and
all grain is saved in excellent condi-
ton. The estimated yield per acre il
1874 bushels.
The condition of corr is SO. This is
apparently low, but is 8 points above
the ten-year average. There is nothing
in the present condition to cause great
alarm, though continued drought
would materially affect the yield.
Dat threshing has not progressed far
enough to give a definite idea of the
final yield. The grain is of excellent
quality. The estimated yield is Is
bushels per acre.
Timothy and clover meadows will
yield a lighter crop of hay than any
year since 1901, but the quality is
good.
Cotton in the southern part of the
state has made good growth, exceed
ing the condition of July by 20 points.
The drought has not affected it.
Fruit of all kinds is in good condi-
ton, and, while it needs rain, will
make more than an average crop.

DR.. Calmette and M. c. Guerin, of
the Pasteur institute, of Lille, France,
have just communicated to the
French Academy of Sciences the re-
suits of experiments in vaccinating
against infection with tuberculosis.
They find, says the London Times,
that if they cause a calf or kid to
swallow at As days interval two
doses of 5 and rs centigrams of dead
bacilli of tuberculosis, or bacilli of
weak vitality, the animal becomes
proof against infections of fresh bo-
vine tuberculosis. Human beings have
not yet been experimental on with
the virus, but it is thought that it
may prove effective.

EMEUTE IN THE ARMY AND NAVY
OF THE RUSSIAN EN-
PRE-.
FLAMES OF REVOLUTION
Trouble On Land and Sea, and From
Al! Portions of the Country
Comes News of uprisings
and Terror.

Stirring events have occurred in
Russia. A revolution started at Svea-
borg, one of the strong ~fortresses of
Finland. The mutineers captured the
fort, but it vas retaken by the loyal
troops. Six hundred men were killed
or wounded. 1t is believed that many
of the mutineers that surrendered
were court-martialed and shot.
Fort Constantine, at Cronstadt, near
st. Petersburg, was the scene of an.
other uprising, and 100 were killed.
From all parts of Russia comes news
of uprising by peasants, and the burn.
ing of palaces and looting of estates.
Several vessels of the Baltic fleet
mutinied, among them the battleship
ASIA" one of the strongest of the
fleet.
There are rumor that the emperor
purposes to turn the country we to
a dictator, and that Grand Duke Mich.
olas, his brother, has been chosen.
Premier Stolypin, who attempted to
r%eorganize the cabinet, has been
turned down by the car, and there
may be fresh troubles from that quar-.
ter.
The revolutionists are apparently
undaunted, and intend to persist in
their programme of calling a general
strike, is the latest news.
Army and navy officers have been
killed, and civil officers obnoxious to
the revolutionaries have been assas.
sinated.
Revolutionaries declare the fires of
revolt will spread to every portion of
the empire.
The Outlook Dark.
Although the mutinies at Sveabors
have been ended and the one at
Cronstadt has been practically put
down, the outlook is still black. The
revolutionists, whose hands were sud.
denly forced by the premature rising
at Sveaborg, apparently are u~ndaunted
at these initial reverses.
One of the leaders of the revolu-
tionists boasted that the word had
gone forth and the fire of revolt would
spread to the corners of the empire.
His closing words to the correspondent
were:
Now watch Reval, Riga and Ii
bou."
Rumored the Gar May Flee.
1t IS reported that the emperor and
the imperial family will flee from Pc
terhof to Tsarkoe-Selo.
The armoured cruiser Pamyat Azoya
has mutinied off the Esthonian coast,
and is now in full possession of the
m%ut!neers, which is sailing northward
toward the Finnish coast.
The %battleship Slava has been or
dered to find and sink the mutineer.
The captain and four officers were
put to death OF the warship by the
mutineers. Four officers were killed at
Cronstadt, and Rear-Admiral Beclem-
scheff, who was bayoneted in the back.
was seriously wounded.
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievich.
the emperor's brother-in-law, in a rage,
ordered all mGtineers put to death.
The executions are in progress. It is
declared that many innocent persons
have been killed. '

Mr.. Haldane, the British minister
of war, has had his attention strongly
directed to the one defect in the army
system; that is, that it turns a dis.
charged soldier into the world at an
age when he has lost his adaptive
ness and when without a trade he
finds himself at a great disadvantage
in competing with younger men.
Therefore, Mr.. Haldane has appoint
ed a committee to consider the train
ing of the soldiers in various trades.
1t is believed that something can be
found in this way which will be bet.
ter for the ex-soldier than the pres

The extension of manual training
so that every boy would have an op-
portunity to fit himself for a trade
would make the problem of parents
much easier of solution, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. Boys instead of
being set at work as doors of odd jobs,
wasting the years when they should
be qualifying themselves for work as
journeymen, should be given a chance
to prepare themselves for their life
work. The great number of youths
anxious to take advantage of the op-
portunity offered by the Carnegie
schools proves the need.
