Seeds and Weeds.

Unclean seed has more to do with
the distribution of weeds than all
other causes combined. These are
brought upon our farm from garden
and field seeds from foreign countries.
Russian flaxseed Is responsible for the
introduction of the Russian thistle.
which first appeared upon a single
farm, and now covers over 10000
square miles of the United States. Al
falfa, beet, turnip and other field and
garden seeds imported from Europe
are the potent cause of the contamina-
ton of our lands with farm weeds.
Nor are the farmers of this country
at all particular in saving their seeds,
fields containing weeds often being set
aside for a seed crop, insuring the
foulest seeds in many cases. And then.
in the purchase of seeds, the farmer
is not careful to buy pure seed only,
but plants whatever some dealer offers
him. Until these methods are done
away with we must expect to have new.
pernicious weeds constantly appearing
among our crops.

Growth of Useless Animal Organs.
In many animals there are certain
organs which, useful in their earlier
stages, have apparently been so greatly
developed as TO become rather him
ORANGES. The horns of certain deer.
for example, useful weapons of defense
when smaller, have become so large
the struggle for life. The huge over
grown teeth, or tusks, OF certain of the
bear family may be cited as further ex-
amples. These are sometimes explained
as organs which have been more useful
I'm their present state under former diff
ferent conditions, and which have per-
sisted through heredity. In the Amer
lean Naturalist, however. Mr.. F. b.
I,oomis brings forward another explain
alton. He thinks the growth of such
organs Is due to what he calls "momen-
INN in variation" As variation pro-
.eeds in a certain direction, it ac-
quires, like a body moving under the
action Of gravity, momentum which
may carry it past the stage of greatest
utility. This factor in evolution, Mr..
LOOMS thinks has not been assigned
the Importance it deserves.
Other evolutionists, however, have
suggested that when an animal or plant
has once started to vary in given di.
rection, it acquires tendency TO go Oh
varying in that direction. And this,
although the word momentum is not
used, agrees with the above theory.

Opening prices yielded easily before
comparatively light selling orders. The

ing, Pennsylvania, U. S. steel preferred

The depression was partially over
come, and Reading, Union Pacific, and
ST. Paul rallied sharply. Later break
in New York Central caused the list
to give way again, and some additional
material declines were made. Both
eastern and western trunk line stocks
sold freely.
Several considerations contributed to
the weakness of the stock market to-
day, none of these affecting the feel
ing that general financial conditions
were improving. Some depression was
traceable to the sentimental effect of
the suicide of ex-President Barney, Of
the Knickerbocker Trust. The dis
cussion of the financing for the New
York Central made that stock con-
spicuously weak, and Harrinan's Pa
cifice suffered from large declines in
net earnings reported for September.
1T was the general supposition that
some large accounts are being closed
out.
The stock market closed fairly
steady and dull.

Pittsburg, Nov, 15.-About twenty
five persons were injured today, two
fatally, and a dwelling house was torn
to pieces in an explosion of natural
gas. In the fire which followed two
firemen were severely burned. The ia
tally injured are:
Mrs Sarah Grossman, blown thru
the roof.
Jacob Bergermen, blown thru the
roof.
The seriously injured are:
Three members Of the Grossman
family.
Three members Of the Model family,
which occupied the house.
Esther. Bonner, a guest Of the Cross
mans.
About fourteen persons In the neigh
borhood received injuries when the
windows of the homes were shattered
by the concussion and plaster fell upon
them.
Apparently gas was leaking in the
kitchen stove all night. Early today
when a match was struck in the lower
portion of the house to light the stove
there was terrific explosion. The
house was torn to pieces. The roof was
blown .aigh into the air and the front
of the dwelling collapsed. Mrs. Cross
man and Jacob Bergerman, boarder,
apparently received the full force Of
the explosion, both being blown from
their beds thru the roof. They were
fatally injured by subsequent fall and
fire. Others members Of the sGrossman
and Model families, both Of which oc-
cupied the house, were thrown from
their beds by the conclusion and Sc
yerely injured. A remarkable feature
of the explosion is that Mr.. Grossman,
who struck the match, escaped with
severe but not fatal injuries.

Charlton, Nov. 15.-It has been dis
closed upon close investigation. that
rot only did the late suicide cashier. r.
=. Crocker. of the failed First Nation
al bank, abstract and speculate with
It's funds, but made false entries In its
books and perpetrated systematic for
geries to such an extent that it Will
be impossible for weeks to determine
how much, if anything, the banks de-
positors will receive. Moreover, the
belief is growing that Crocker's al
le ged surety bond to the Modern Wood
men Of America to protect $350,000 Of
its funds loaned to him, was forgery
III part at least.
The first report Of the receiver Of
the defunct bank has not been made
public in Charlton as yet, but it is in
possession Of the controller of the cur
rency at Washington, who made
known the above important facts in a
letter to depositor Of the bank in
Charlton. The controller says 1t is
Impossible now to determine how much
the depositors will receive, but adds
that the depositors will not be paid in
full, and that their loss will be very
heavy.
For some days there have been
rumors that the bond furnished to the
Modern Woodmen of America to Sc
cure the $350,000 loaned to Crocker
Is of doubtful character. Head
Banker McNider, of Mason City, has
the instrument in his possession, but
lie has thus far refused to make public
the names of the signers. Some of
the men who are accredited with sign
ing the bond declare that their sigma
lures are not genuine; still others
declare that tho they were on Crock
er's bond during his term Of head
banker, they did not stand surety for
his subsequent relationship with the
Modern Woodmen. A few have seen
the instrument in Head Banker Nc
Nider's possession, and they also cast
doubt upon it's character. In any event
enough is known to Justify the state
rient that there will be a fight in the
courts If the Woodmen undertake to
collect from the alleged guarantors.

Witnesses Testify Who Heard Mrs,

Killing Senator Brown Unless He
Acknowledged Her as His wifs-

washington, Nov. 15.-When the
day, it was apparent the prosecution
would soon complete it's testimony. At
torneys for the defense are prepared
to present their side as speedily a.
possible. The district attorney sues
ceeded in bringing out the fact cons
cerning the details of the confession
said to have been made at the police
station by Mrs. Bradley Immediately
after her arrest.
Mrs. Bradley preceded both Judge
Stanford and the jury in the court
room. The first witness of the day
was Mrs. Thornberg, matron Of the po-
lice station where Mrs. Bradley was
taken after the tragedy. She told Of
the visit to the prisoner by United
States Senator Sutherland, also visit
by Detective Grant, Of the local pos
lice. She heard the detective tell Mrs.
Bradley that anything she might say.
would be used against her. Mrs. Brad-
ley talked freely.
Lieutenant BARLEY corroborated Mrs.
Thornberg's testimony. Grant testified
MRS. Bradley told me she was the
companion of Brown and lived with
him long time and had children by
him. She said she had not acted on
an impulse, but thought over the deed
a long time and made up her mind
that If Brown did not do right she
would kill him."
The government concluded its press
entation in the trial Of Mrs. Bradley at
1910. Max Brown. a son Of the man
killed, was the last witness. Els testt4s
mony was not material. AZ
James Rowan, Of Salt Lake City,
who was employed as watchna !. ~
Browns residence, told of an unsuc-
cessful effort made by Mrs. Bradley
Nov. 81, 1907, to gain admission t0
Browns house, when, he said, she car-
ried pistol in her muf. He also said
that two nights afterwards he had
found the woman in Browns backyard
when she told him she had got gun
for Brown, and that il any one enters
ed he would "get the same that Brown
would get" adding: II am vicious
woman" She said then that she
wanted to see Brown, and was admit
ted thru q window and remained hv0;
minutes
At the afternoon session Attorney
Hoover made the opening statement
for Mrs. Bradley. Court then adjourned
until Monday. Hoover claimed Mrs.
Bradley became irresponsible by rea-
son of Browns treatment Of her, and
said it would be proven that she did
not shoot him until he rushed on he1
and cursed her.
