Returns.
The increase in the crop returns Of
the Canadian West, in the past seven
years, has approached the marvellous,
and there is no reason to believe that
a corresponding increase will not re-
suit for many years to come. The in
crease has been particularly noticeable
in what was formerly known as the
Northwest Territories, but which, on
Sept. l, 1905, became the provinces OF
Alberta and Saskatchewan. From the
official returns we find the following

LYNCHED WITHIN SHADOW
 OF HIS VICTIMS HOME
SOUTH CAROLINA MOB RIDDLES BODY OF MICRO WITH
 BULLETS.

Governor Hayward Addresses Angry
 Men in Vain---Is Cheered After Words
 of Advice-Citizens From Several
 Counties Take Part in the Affair."
 Militia of the state in Camp ut
 Chickamauga,
 Columbia, S. C., Aug. 16.-Within the shadow of his victim, Miss Jennie Brooks, after having been identified by her, and after Governor D. c. Hey ward, who to-day went to the scene of the trouble and addressed the mob in vain, Bob" Davis, the negro who on Monday murderously attacked Miss Brooks with intent to commit assault, and who afterwards outraged negro girl fourteen years old was lynched at Greenwood abot 7:30 o'clock this even- ing.
 Governor Haywood reached the scene shortly after the negro had been cap tured A platform was erected in fence corner on the premises of the victims father, from which platform Governor Haywood adressed the mob in an effort to prevent the lynching. The governor begged the mob not to lynch Davis, but in vain. At the con- clusion of his speech the governor was vociferously cheered. The mob then re- moved the prisoner from the view of the governor, and within @ short dis tance of the home of his victim, the negro was riddled with bullets. It is impossible to estimate the crowd, as citizens from several counties had gathered at the scene, and for two days had been in pursuit of the negro, but it is certain that hundreds of bullets were sent through the body. The mill itia in that section of the state is now enoamped at Chicamauga, and there were no nearby troops to be called up- on, The governors guards and the Richland volunteers of this city had been ordered to hold themselves in readiness in the event that their ser vices were needed.
 The assault by Davis on Miss Brooks was made last Tuesday in her fathers store, where he was temporarily in charge After making some purchases the negro grasped a meat knife, shout ing, You are what I want" and sprang toward the girl. Miss Brooks attempted to defend herself with an iron bar, but the negro slashed her across the throat. Afterwards he went three miles to another farm and out ragged fourteen year old negress. A posse of a thousand men started in pursuit of the negro soon after the outrage at the Brooks store, and finally captured him this afternoon near Nine ty Six, a town nine miles from Green wood

FIRST NATIONAL BANK
 0F CHELSEA CLOSED
RUN ON THE INSTITUTION IS AFFECTED THIS MORN
 ING.

Bank Examiner Asks for Police Pro-
 tection-The Bank One of the Oldest
 Institutions in the Town-Has Capi-
 tai of $3OO,OOO and Carries Deposits
 of Several Million DoIlars--President
 Declines to Discuss the Failure.
 Boston, Aug. 16.-The First National bank of Chelsea will not be open for business in the morning, orders having been issued by the comptroller of the currency to close the institution.
 National Bank Examiner Alfred Ewer has been making an inspection of the bank recently, and tonight, at the re- quest of the directors he visited the in- stitution and counted the cash on hand. The bank examiner stated that he had found no discrepancy between cash book and funds on hand, but that, from a superficial examination, he had decid- ed to recommend to the authorities at Washington that the doors of the bank be closed to business tomorrow. He said that he had had no opportunity to make a thorough inspection of the books, but from what he had observed, and from statements of some of the off, flcials, it was doubtful If the bank was ever reopened for business. Beyond this statement the bank examiner had nothing to say for publication tonight.
 At a late hour tonight Bank Exam iner Ewer notified the officers at police headquarters in Chelsea that he re- quired the services of a patrolman to guard the bank during the night and that in the morning he probably should need the assistance of several police- men at the institution, as it was possi- 'ble that run would be started by the depositors when they heard that the doors would not be opened. The police accordingly assigned a patroman to stand at the bank doors during the night
 MT. Ever arrived at the bank at g o'clock tonight and made a superficial examination of the cash books and some of the accounts. Several of the directors and employees assisted him in his work.
 The First National is one of the old- est institutions in Chelsea, having been Incorporated as a national bank in 1864. It has capital of $S0OOO0 and carries deposits of several million dollars, The president is Sylvester B. Hinckley of the Chestnut Hill district of Newton. formerly resident of Chelsea. The cashier is Walter Whittlesey. Neither of these men were at the bank tonight and when President Hinokley was call- ed on the telephone at his home he de- clined to make any statement whatever regarding the situation. He admitted that he had heard of the action of Bank Examiner Ewer, but refused to discuss the matter.

BLACKsTAFF'S OPINION
Noted English oarsman Says Harvard
 Lacks in Leg Power

Bourne End, England, Aug. 16.- Among the visitors at the Harvard crew's quarters in Bourne End to-day was H. T. Blackstaff, the winner six times of the London cup and this years winner of the diamond souls. Mr. Blackstaff said he thought the arm work of the Harvard crew was great" but that the men lacked the leg drive so essential to progress in an eight pared boat and a necessary adjunct to powerful arm-work. He considered Harvard's boat suited to rough water but suggested that the extra three feet would assist in speed. There is" said Mir. Blackstaff, "a big difference in the after part, as it slopes good deal more than ours. I think the Americans have vastly improved in style"
 MT. Blackstaff thought it was a mis- take for Harvard to b9 2racticing at Bourne End, adding; "fhey ought to be- at Putney now. They do not know the course, and shall be agreeably surprised if they are properly acquaint- ed with 1t by September 8. It will take some time for coXswain, however good, to remember the proper course to pursue under the varying conditions to which he will be subject there. Our own Putney coxswains, some of whom have held rudder lines for years, often make mistakes, sometimes losing race when the oarsmen were winning it."

 ''I am assured that the usual car ser vice to Coney Island will be resumed on Saturday morning, August IS, with a full complement of cars.
 Pending a settlement in the courts of the legal difference in regard to the fare I ask the patrons of the railroad to be patient and to refrain from dis turbance. believing that their rights will be conserved.

London, Aug 17.-The Daily Malls correspondent at Tien Tsin telegraphs that having made tour or northern Korea and Manehuria he found that the Japanese are now more strictly observing the open door. Japanese manufactures have largely replaced ar ticles of European and American origin throughout the interior of Manchuria, however, mainly owing to the advan- tage obtained by the free entrance of Japanese goods through Dalny.

NEW COMMANDER OF 6. AR.
R, B. BROWN OF ZANESVILLE, O.,
 IS CHOSEN.
c. G. Burton, of Missouri, and Captain F. III. Coney, of Kansas, Withdraw When They See Browns Election is a Certainty-The Other Officers Elected Sentiment Favors Saratoga for Next Encampment.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 1e-Com- mander-in-C Chief R. B. Brown, zanes- vile, Ohio.
 Senior vice mmander-William H. Armstrong, Indianapolis.
 Junior vice conlmander--E B. Fen ton, Detroit.
 Chaplain-in-chief Archbishop John Ireland, St. Paul.
 Surgeon general-W. H. Johnson, Lincoln, Neb.
 The foregoing officers were elected to-day at the annual meeting of the Grand Army of the Republic. All other officers are staff appointments, and will be announced later by the new com mander-in-c chief
 The strongest opponents of MT. Brown for comnander-in- chief were c. c. Burton, of Missouri, and Captain P. H. Coney of Kansas. Both withdrew when it was seen that the election of MT. Brown was a certainty. Brown was then chosen by exclamation. Sev- erai candidates were nominated for senior and junior vice commanders but at the last instant all withdrew in favor of Armstrong for the senior po- sition and Fenton for the junior place, and both men were chosen unanimous ly. Archbishop Ireland had no rivals for chaplain-in-chief.
 After the nominations the place of holding the next encampment was talk en up, and the New York delegation presented Saratoga. An adjournment was taken before vote was reached, and other cities that desire the encannp- ment will have a change to present their invitations tomorrow.
 The sentiment is strongly in favor of Saratoga.
 The new commander-in -in-c chief of the G. A. R., R. B. Brown, was born in 1S45, and has always lived in Ohio. He enlisted in the Fifteenth Ohio Infantry at the age of sixteen years, and serv- ed in the Fourteenth Army corps in the Army of the Cumberland until he was mustered out in 1864, He then enlisted as 8 veteran soldier and serv- ed as such until the end of the war, He was private throughout the first three years of his services, and then be- came a on-connissioned officer He has always been active in the work of the Grand Army. Mir. Brown is now editor of the Zanesville Courier.
 Miss Carrie Sparkling of St. Louis tonight was elected national president of the Women's Relief corps. Her principal rival was Mrs Kate Jones of New York.
