State Bureau Statistics Show a

Jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. 19-The
forests OF Missouri shows signs at
last Of yielding to the enormous de-
msnd OF many years. The timber
and lumber marketed last year was
more than 81, 100000 short Of that
OF the previous year, and still the
totals above s24, 100000. Consid.

is prairie land and never grew tim.
Der, and the long years Of drain on
the supply, the wonder is that the
forests would still yield so produc-
lively,
The statistics secured by the State
Labor Bureau only deal with ship
ments, and has nothing to do with
home consumption. 1t is a surplus
that the bureau deals with. Com
parsons reaching back any consider
able length OF time are impossible,
but 1t is evident, from the figures OF
recent years In possession Of the
bureau, that the yield Of the forests
must inevitably grow less each year.
SOUTHWEST Is GREATEST.
Southwest Missouri, whence the
greatest forest yields come at this
time, and, In fact, have been coming
for years, Is becoming a great agri-
cultural district, and many believe
that within the near future is will be
the most important In this respect in
the state. Dunklin, which at this
time has the greatest credit as a tim
Der and lumber producing county,
also ranks high away up as an agri-
cultural county. IL Is said that there

Madrid and Butler counties are grow.
Ing less and less each year, and the
land from which the trees are cut
passes from forest land into rich
farms that make a much greater

Practical Joke Leads
to Stock Investment.

A practical joke played upon Geo.
Schneider. a wealthy farmer of Charles

him TO invest $4,000 In new oil

principal owners Of the well are Aug
ust Mueller, banker; Alderman n.

ison. Mueller is q countryman, and
an old schoolmste OF Schneider and
had been In correspondents With him
In regard to the venture.
Last Tuesday Schneider went TO
Granite City with two friends, and
without telling the owners Of the
we'll Of their plans, set out to inves.
tigate. They carried guns and shot
q number Of wood pigeons. After
viewing the well they proceeded to
Madison and arranged for q dinner
at which the pigeons were to be
served.
Mueller had known OF bis friends
journey and persuaded the cook to
saturate the pigeons with crude oil.
The dinner went of well until the
game was reached. In attempting
to explain why this dish was uneat-
able, Mr.. Schneider confessed that he
shot the pigeons near the we'll, and
declared that he did not know that
birds would eat the oil. Il had at
least convinced him that there was
plenty OF oil, he said, and he at once
subscribed to the stock.

Red Tape May Cause a Death.

Red tape clogs the machinery Of
humanity occasionally In New York,
and popular wrath has been aroused
by particularly affecting instance.
Having been refused by two hospi.
tails, destitute and unable to get a
physician, Mrs. Annie Connors, Of
Humboldt street and briggs avenue,
has been lying In her room since Sun
day afternoon suffering from concus-
sion OF the brain. She has never re.
gained consciousness since the day
she received her injury by fall.
Surgeons from the Eastern District
hospital visited the house when sum-
moned by a friendly priest, but told
Mr. Connors that they could do moth
ing, because his wife had been moved
from where she fell. Once more the
priest sought assistance, this time
from St. Catharin's hospital. A
physician responded, assured Mr..
Connors his wife was suffering from
conclusion OF the brain, but added
that as St. Catharine's hospital had
no observation ward the woman
oughtto be removed to the Flatbush
hospital.
Disguised with what is declared to
be inhuman red tape, fellow parish
toner's Of Connors, who is a laborer,
unable to secure a physician, have
supplied funds for home treatment.
The delay, however, probably will
result In the woman's death.
There is more Catarrh In this sec-
tion OF the country than all other

plan adopted for a census, preliminary
election and then a general election
six months later, will result in the Sc
lection of a president and congress
who will be able to maintain them

NAPA, April 22.-Grand President
Wagner in his address to the grand
parlor of Native SoLs today, said in
part:
During the past year charges have
been freely made in private and in pub
lie by individuals, press and by public
officials, eliminating finally in proceed
ing of criminal nature in courts of this
state, wherein men who have been hon
ored by this order and this grand parlor
are now accused of most gross official
and public misconduct in the city of
San Francisco.
II cannot conceive Ivy duty to this
grand parlor and order as wholly and
fully performed without referring to
and making some signs in connection
Herewith. That the gross crimes
charged should have been actually COM
mitted by members of ou-' order, men,
bers who have received high honors at
the hands of this grand parlor, Is al
most unbelievable.
IF these charges are true, even In
substance, but one course Is open to U.S.
swift and positive action.
Condemnation in this body must fol-
low swift, not upon suspicion or accu.
sation, but upon conviction; conviction
where the alleged transgressor shal
have been heard In his own defense
That any action taken by us at this
time and in advance of E-nal determi-
nation in courts, according to the forms
of law, might be grossly orcjudicial to
the interests of the accused, is equally
APPARENT.
II am constrained to suggest, there
fore, that this grand parlor should take
some action in premises, merely of a
preliminary nature but sufficiently in
dicative of its ultimate purpose, should
the facts warrant, = nen postpone ac-
tion until such time as will allow ample
and complete justice to all concerned -
Late this afternoon Judge Dooling of
Hollister. who will be the new grand
president, introduced revolution
amending the constitution so that mem
bers can be expelled by subordinate
parlors. 1t was referred to the COM
mittee on legislation.

GOLDFIELD. New, April GAS a
result of the settlement effected last
evening between the mine owners and
the miners, the mines were thrown open
at o'clock this afternoon and the
lockout of the past seven weeks came
to an end.
Immediately after the peace protocol
was signed last night operators began
to send messengers thu oughout the
camp calling their former employees to
work, and today there was scurrying
everywhere to find full complement
for the mines.
At 3 o'clock today scores Of men sur
round every shaft house, and all the
minds that could find workmen enough
started with full force.
During the strike hundreds of miners
left for outside camps to prospect or
find temporary work, and the district is
short probably 500 miners. Some of the
mines, because of the peculiar condi-
tions will not put on full forces for
several days. They will have to pump
water in the timbering or clear up
workings that have caved in but none
of the mines have suffered seriously
during the interim.
The hills present an animated appear
ance and the town streets never were
so full of people.
Any talk of hitch in the program,
such as was made on the stock ex-

of affecting the market.

Property in Minnesota Really Worth
Only $215,ooo,ooo Is Valued by
Schemlng Officials at
$4oo.ooo,oo

BY Associated Press
ST. PAUL, Mimi, April 22.-Railroad
property in Minnesota is valued at
S215, 100000 by the Sunderberg investi-
eating committee which returned its
report to the state senate today.
This Is approximately $27, 900 mile.
The pro. erty is capitalized to the ex-
tent of about $400,0O0,000, or $4,000 q
mile on an average. The net earnings,
according to the committees findings,
averaged over $4,000 a mile last year,
or 1S per cent on the committees valu-
alton.
The report says that to arrive at the
cost of reproducing and equipping the
defendant lines in their present condi-
ton, the committee considered the orig
inal cost of construction, the cost of
Improvements, betterments and equip
ment added since; the cost and char
acter of the lines recently built, the
expense of operating and the earnings
under the existing rates, value of
stocks and bonds, the geography Of the
line and the judgment displayed in its
locating.
Referring to the Chicago Great West
ern the report says:
This road was built by A. b. Stick
ney, who raised the funds by acquiring
after organizing, reorganizing and har-
monizing corporations of Minnesota,
Iowa and Illinois.
"The capital stock and debt is $143,-
66S per mile and the committee figures
valued it about one-fifth of that, or
S2S,000 a mile. In it's last report the
company certifies that the line and
equipment cost $98,011 per mile"
Referring to the fact that in 1891
there was reported for purchase of
constructed road, $6,313,192, the COM
mittee says: 1T was then $3.50 miles
long. Fifteen years later this elastic
item had been stretched to $50,594, 444,
but the whole line had shrunk sixty
miles In length. 1t had been watered
too much.'

KING AND QUEEN
BARRED BY MONK
Failing to Recognize Members of the

of Santa Chiara Is Denied

BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
NAPLES, April 22.-The king and
queen of England, who arrived here
on the royal yacht Victoria and AL
bert, spent the day in sightseeing
They visited various points of interest
in the city and incidentally had an ex-
perience which amused King Edward
greatly and which brought consterna-
tion to an unthinking monk.
The incident occurred In front of the
church of Santa Chiara. Their males
ties approached intending to visit the
ediflce but found 1t closed, as the
monks In charge were taking their
midday meal. A member of the royal
party knocked on the door for admit
tance. A monk came to the door and
thinking those outside were beggars
did not trouble to open it, but called
out so they might hear: "Begone In
peace, there is nothing for you here.
This remark amused King Edward
immensely, and he laughed heartily
The visitors then knocked again and
explained that they desired to visit
the church, but the sacristan, irritat-
ed at their persistence, shouted: Don't
bother me; this Is no time for sight
seeing. Brothers are at luncheon"
At this moment Gen. Salsa, who was
passing, recognized the visiting SOW
ereigns and peremptorily ordered the
monk to open the door. This he did
and when he learned the Identity of
those who had knocked for admittance
his embarrassment knew no bounds.
