Special German Census.

According to a report from Consul
ii. W. Harris, at Mannheim, an impor-
tant census was taken on June u, this
year, In Germany concerning especially
all matters relating to the vacations Of
the population, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The consul says:
"The data is expected to prove much
more comprehensive than any other
similar data heretofore collected in the
empire and will, when arranged and
tabulated, fill, it is said, some twenty
five large volumes. This census is de-
signed to show the number of people OF
both sexes, whether married or single,
in the various industries. 1t will show
the number Of minors engaged in diff
ferent emplOyments, the number OF
those engaged at hand work or with
machinery, or both. and the extent to
which home labor enters into manufac-
turing and trade. Careful inquiry into
all branches Of agriculture, commerce,
forestry and stock raising, with spe-
cial reference in the latter as to the
question of meat and other food sup
plies, will show what amount Of land
is worked by the owners and what by
renters. The crops raised will also lie
a subject Of inquiry, as will the rela-
tions Of these crops to the German SUI
gar, brewing, milling and other indus
tries The employment Of the popula-
ton In wholesale and retail trade, as
well as in foreign commerce, will form
branch Of the proposed census, rs
will matters pertaining to the invalid
and other insurance systems conduct
ed by the state or otherwise"

A Rate Law Test Case.

That State control of interstate rail
roads has ceased by virtue of the Hep.
burn rate law is the broad ground of an
appeal to the federal courts now made
by the Missouri Pacific railroad from a
writ issued by the Supreme Court OF
Kansas. The writ was issued in favor OF
the Larrabee Milling Company of Stat.
ford, Kan, to compel the Missouri Pacific
to continue the practice of delivering cars
to the mill over Santa Fe tracks, which
cross at that point, at the old rate of 81
a car. 1t was conceded that three-ffths
os the mills business was Interstate. The
defendant railroad now asserts that the
State court has no jurisdiction, and that
the road is wholly under the control Of
the Interstate Commerce Commission.

INCREASE FARMERS EARNINGS.
Big Gain for Year Due to Higher
Prices of Products.


According to preliminary report on
crops, published in the American Agricul.
turist, the American farmers earnings are
$1,O00,OOO 900 greater this year than last.
This big gain will be entirely due to tn,
increased prices Of farm products, as the
production in general will be fully 10 per
cent less in quantity than in 1906, which
was the bumper year.
The farmer was never in so healthy a
position as he is to-day-fnancially so.

promptly removed to the hospital
where his wife and daughters were.
Altho the family are too critically i'll
to make any statement in the matter,
the information has been gained from
source which is deemed reliable that
there is strong circumstantial evidence
for believing that some neighbor. or
neighbors are responsible for the deed
which may result in death. Some time
ago MIR. Nagel asked q friend what
price chickens brought and stated that
he was thinking Of getting rid of his.
When asked as to the reason for this
decision he stated that the neighbors
had been complaining of them much of
late. and rather than quarrel with the
people who lived around him he would
ger rid of the chickens. In view of
this condition of affairs. il is supposed
that someone in the ncighborhood be-
came tired of having the birds trample
on their lawns and flower beds. and
took this dangerous means to rid the
community of the nuisance.
