Russian Generals on Trial for Their
Lives.

Gems. Stoessel, Fock, Smernoff and
Reiss. charged with joint response
bihty for surrendering Port Arthur
to the Japanese, turned their defense
Wednesday into furious attack on
the war minister. The hearing OF
their side OF the case had just begun
before a special military court OF
nine generals They will be senten-
ced 70 death if convicted.
In denying their guilt. the accused
commanders say the fortress was so
i'll equipped and provlSioned and
poorly built that an effective defense
was impossible. They attribute its
shocking condition to the war min
istry and assert openly that they
think it was due less to incompet-
ence than to corruption.
The court martial promises to de-
velop one OF the most startling
scandals the imperial court has
known. Whatever the accused gen.
erals fate may be their charges

Gals OF the bureau they attack.

Corn Statistics.

While the statistics show that In

bushels OF corn to the acre this year,

the yield was-much less.

HINTS ON STORING FRUIT.

Amateurs frequently gather their
apples and pears before they are
thoroughly ripcncd Under these
conditions it is impossible to obtain
the full flavor of the fruit. An even
temperature in the fruit store is I'M
porIant, and adequate ventilation
must be provided at all times. Many
excellent varieties of apples have
been pronounced of inferior quality
owing to their being placed in i'll
ventilated store rooms. The Use Of
straw or hay should be avoided.
Fruit will taste of the flavor Of
these materials if used The choc-
est dessert varieties should be placed
on wadding or wood wool in single
layers. Take great care in handling
the fruit not to bruiSe or otherwise

treasure hunt, the finding Of the
treasure, the bargaining for it, and
the final bearing Of it home in tri-

which add zest to life. And as the
taste for beautiful old things is
more or less an acquired one and

Twenty-Five Bushels Per Acre.

Mayor Cough on last Wednes-
day morning invited Brand
man and a number of others to
inspect his wheat crop just south
of town. When the company ar
rived they found a harvester at
work in the golden field. Three
pieces were inspected, two of
which had been cultivated by the
usual method of farming, the
yield of which will not exceed 10
and l. bushels per acre. The
last field inspected had been cul-
tivated according to modern
methods, and after a most thor
ough examination, the entire
company decided that the field
would make 20 or - bushels per
acre. The stalks are of good
height and the crop can be easily
cut and bound by an ordinary
harvester; the spikes are large
and grains well developed. This
crop fully demonstrates what
can be done in the Panhandle
when proper and scientific meth
DDS are used, and our Mayor is
to be congratulated for giving
this demonstration. - Hereford
