WATCH MADE IN 1878,

A western jeweller has in his pos
session one of the six hand made silver
Swiss watches which we're constructed
in England in 1878. 1t keeps splendid
time and is more accurate than some of
the modern watches. 1t was in 1859
that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters was
first made. and practical experience is
proving every day that it is far superior
to all modern remedies for curing
such ailments as sick headache,
fatulency, heartburn, poor appetite,
sleeplessness, liver or kidney trouble,
indigestion, dyspepsia, cramps, bilious
ness, female ills or. malaria, fever and
ague. No matter how long you have,
been q sufferer the Bitters will posi-
lively help you. Then why not get a
bottle today and give it a chance to
prove its merit. The genuine has u
Private Stamp over the neck.

Packing Plants O X.

Secretary Wilson returned to Wash
lnIgton Aug. 80 from an extended trip
through the west and northwest. He
Inspected personally many meat packing
plants in the various cities he visited,
making it a point always to call at the
plants of a given city without previous
notice.
In a majority of instances the secre-
tary found the plants in good sanitary
condition. The packers, everywhere, he
learned, are disposed to meet the re-
quircments of the law without bubble
or protest, their desire being simply to
learn definitely what is expected of
By Oct. I, when the inspe ction of do
mestic products will begin, the secretary
believes hat the majority of the packing
plants will have completed arrange
ments for full observance of the new
law.
Secretary Wilson says that throughout
the west and northwest the crops are
enormous, the oats crop being one of the
largest in the history Of the country.

Finance and the Markets.

Nothing about a metropolitan news.
paper shows more plainly a high de-
gree Of organization than ar accurate
and comprehensive report Of the worlds
markets. As might be expected, The
Chicago Record. Herald cover this
field in the same satisfactory manner
that is characteristic Of the papers
entire news service. 1t tells its readers
every day what consols are worth in
London, what money and stocks are
worth in New York, what wheat and
the other grains are worth in Chicago,
Kansas City. Minneapolis and the other
markets are presents in addition ac-
curate information on the events and
conditions that determine these values.
The Record. Herald is the only morn
ing paper in Chicago having its own
special correspondent to cover the
New York stock market. George s.
Beachel's letters report the daily move
ments Of the New York stock and
money markets in a way that shows the
writer's close association with the men
who rule in those affairs in Wall street.
Equal attention is devoted to the
Chicago stock and financial markets
and to the daily movemen of prices
on the Board Of Trade. The "Specu-
lative Gossip" and the notes that re-
cord Wall street and La Sale street
happenings contain many a line that
shows a bit of the real inside" history
Of the various markets. The Record
Herald makes it a point to cover in full

corporations and devotes particular
attention to banking interests in Chi.

Aid the officers.

In view of the crimes committed by
hobos and lawless people in the state
during the past season, the following ee..
ter from the attorney generals once
seems timely and certainly should have
serious consideration:
Reports of the commission OF many
crimes in different parts OF the STATE
make it necessary, if we would give to
every citizen that protection which the
law guarantees, that every states attor,
ney, sheriff and police officer should
exert his. uttermost energy in the en-
forcement of every criminal statute.
Idle and proAigate persons who com
into the state with no visible means OF
support, and who prefer loaiing and pill
fering to work, should be gotten rid of as
soon as possible. The perpetrator Of
every crime should be brought to speedy
justice. The states attorneys, sherlfs
and police officers are elected and ap-
pointed for that purpose.
By taking hold of the matter energetl-
cally, we can rid this state of that unde-
sirable class who commit most OF these
crimes before the honest laborer, now
aiding in the gathering of our bountitul
crops, returns to the towns with the
wages the "thug" is waiting to rob him OF.
l desire to call your especial attention
to section 8952 and 3, 1905 code, entitled
vagrancy. l believe a failure to strictly
enforce these sections is responsible for
a large number Of crimes being COM
mitted in the state.
Let not the question of expense be
taken into consideration in the suppress
sion of crime. If we would preserve the
good name of our state we must check
with an iron hand any indication of a
"crime wave" If any assistance is
needed in prosecution, it will gladly be
furnished from this office.
Good citizens will obey the laws; bad
ones should be made to.
This letter has been prepared after
consultation with the governor, who is
anxious to lend any aid in his power in
maintaining that peace and good order
the law guarantees to every citizen.
l know you will aid me in carrying out
to the letter the intent and meaning Of
this communication.
am, yours respectfully,
c. N. FR1cH, Attorney General.

POETRY IN MACHINERY.
Glorious Work of the Modern Reaper
a Fit Subject For Art.

Glorious Work of the Modern Reaper
a Fit Subject For Art.
Poetry and art have these many
years pictured the labors Of men and
women in the harvest field. From
Ruth, the cleaner, to Millet's "Reaper"
we have read the long, melancholy sto-
~ Of the toilers gathering with crude,
wasteful, inhuman hand tools the crops
Of the world that the nations might
have bread. Rightly understood, these
two women, living so far apart, are pa
thetic monuments to the astounding
stupidity that could permit such things
when, as we now see, by taking thought
a machine a release humanity from
such senseless labor. With a singular
~perversity artists have delighted to
paint pictures of foolish toll. Even now
the critics tell us that neither the now
er, the reaper, the thrashing machine
nor the sulky plow is a fit subject for a
picture.
Never was there a greater blunder.
The glory and majesty Of our mighty
harvests, won for the feeding Of the
world with so little labor that the vast
wheatfields seem lonely, the smoking
clouds Of chafr and straw blown high
in the air from whirring thrashers, the
great companies of men and horses
marching to the horizon as the plov:s
turn side sweeps Of sod to the sun, the
gang drills sowing mile long lacelike
threads owe the brown earth where
springs the growing crop-these and a
hundred other scenes are fit themes for
any poet. In u fields are no sad null
ttudcs Of i'll paid. short lived peasants,
crushed and bent by the iniquity of the
sickle. Why sing the sad song Of the
reaper when a grand, inspiring epic Of
tie harvesting machine awaits the poet
and painter who can see and under
stand?-Charles Barnard in Reader.

Dickinson Experiment
Station.

Prof. H. L. Bolley: l have been over

grounds and experimental plots with
Superintendent Waldron. l have not

ing nicely, and a fine showing is being
made under quite trying conditions.
While the drouth during July of this
season has been unusually severe, many
OF the test plots show fine crops. The
different varieties of wheat and oats are
exceptionally fine as to quality. No Sec
ton of the state can hope to show wheat
OF a higher milling quality. While not
yet threshed | guess that a number of
plots will yield above the 3o-bushel per
acre mark. The shrubbery, berry bushes,
etc also make a fine showing for the
first season. Some of the trials of native
grasses and various of the forage plants
are quite promising.
have known Supt. Waldron for a
number of years and am not surprised
that SO much has already been done. He
will certainly make good.
Experimental work always goes
slowly, a number of years trial being
usually necessary to prove the worth of a
particular line of culture or of the value
OF a new sort of crop. If the station but
finds a single forage or grass plant which
can be relied upon for hay and pasture,
and will furnish its own seed in this
region, it will be worth all the cost and
effort the state may expend. The truths
OF SCIENCE hold good everywhere, but in
all localities there arise local difficulties
which must be overcome through expe-
rience.
prophesy that this sub-station will be
able to find out many of the farm
troubles peculiar to this portion of the

some of them.

Why the Dollar of 1904 Is Rare,

There + two stories regarding the
rarity Of the silver dollar Of 1904, the
most generally accepted nj being the
n which accounts for the scarcity by
saying that they were sent to Africa to
pay the soldiers engaged in war be-
tween this country and Tripoli. There
were only 1850 Of them coined. An
other version Of the story which &C.
bound to China with almost the entire
mintage Of that year was lost. The
former story appears to be the most
likely explanation.
