With the final measurement by the
Bureau of Statistics of the Agricultu.
raj Department of the corn, buckwheat.
tobacco, potato, rice and faxseed crops,
the work of crop reporting for the year
1907 may be said to have about ended,
and the harvest statistics for the lead
ing crops of this year are about COM
plete. The total aggregate yield of the
six leading cereals this year is 4,11S,-
100000 bushels, a decrease of 1872 per
cent, from 1906. Oats show the largest
percentage of decrease, % per cent,
followed by barley with ia per cent.
decrease, wheat with Is per cent. de-
crease, and corn with a loss of 1877 per
cent. Of other food crops, it might be
noted that the yield Of rice was the
largest ever produced, but potatoes fell
off So per cent. from 1906. The hay
crop increased 6 per cent. over 1906
Only one third of last years apple crop
is indicated, and pears, grapes and cram
berries are all shorter, while the pea
nut yield is larger 1t is also noted
that the quality of the corn, buck

FEW HERE KNOW THIS,
Simple Homemade Treatment Said To
Overcome Rheumatism.

When an eminent authority announced
in the Scranton (Pa.) Times that he had
found new way to treat that dread Amer
lean disease, rheumatism, with just COM
mon everyday drugs found in any drug
store, the physicians were slow indeed to
attach much Importance to his claims
This was only few months ago. Today
nearly every newspaper in the country,
even the metropolitan dailies, is announ-
cling it and the splendid results achieved.
IL is so simple that any one can prepare it
at home at small cost. 1t is made up as
follows: Get from any good prescription
pharmacy Fluid Extract Dandelion, one
half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla. three oun-
ces. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take
III teaSpoOnful doses after each meal and at
bedtime. These are all simple ingredients,
making an absolutely harmless home rem
edy at little cost.
RheumatlSm as every one knows, is a
symptom of deranged Kidneys 1t is a CON
dltlon produced by the failure of the kid
neys to properly filter or strain from the
blood the uric acid and other matter which,
II not eradicdted, either in the urine or
through the skin pores, remains in the
blood, decompOSeS and forms about the
JOINTS ana muscles, causing the untold SUI
ferlng and deformity of rheumatism
ms prescription is said to be a splendid
healing, cleansing and invi g0rating tonic to
the Kidneys and gives almost immediate re-
lef IN all forms of bladder and urinary
troubles and back ache He also warns
people in leading New York paper against
the discriminate use of many patent medi-
cineS.

THE PANIC OF 1857.

What is called a financial panic in
these times is the merest trife COM
pared with the real thing such as came
to pass in 1857. AT that time the cur
rency was issued by State and private
banks and carried no government guar
anty whatever. In those days citizen
scanned the news to see if the bank
notes in his pocket were good or not.
Wildcat currency was plentiful, its dis
count varying from day to day, so that
the business man had to calculate how
much his daily receipts would be shaw
ed by the brokers. Not tenth part of
the paper money was at par, and the
entire issue of bank was frequently a
total loss. Fifty years ago the credit
of the United States was by no means
gilt-edged, judged by the heavy inter-
est rate it was required to pay. The
government was not in a position to be
of much help in the crisis. The people
struggled through the general crash as
best they could. In 1857 many banks
closed and their depositors lost prac-
tically all. They also lost such cur
rency as they held from broken banks
of issue.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Our western contemporary is quite
right in saying that "the government
was not in a position to be of much
help in the crisis" 1t might, and
should, have gone farther and said that
the government itself was in financial
difficulties; in fact, practically bank
rupt. There was no money in the
treasury to pay the officers and men of
the army and navy, and contractors
had to borrow money at per cent per
month to carry on their business. The
Erie railroad was then the leading rail
road of the country and its stock went
down to and cents on the dollar
The administration, which had declared
it would continue to pay gold and sill
yer only, was forced to the humiliating
necessity of asking authority to issue
paper money, and Congress passed a
bill authorizing the issue of 500, 900, 900
Treasury notes. 1t was predicted then
that this amount would be insufficient
and that by the end of the year the
Treasury would be many millions in
debt. and the prediction was soon veri-
fed. In May, 1858, the Secretary of the
Treasury was compelled to ask Con-
gress to authorize loan to meet ex-
penses and this was done, and was fol-
lowed by other loans and reissue of
Treasury notes up to the beginning of
the Civil War.
The Republican journal. [volume] (Belfast, Me.) 1829-current, 1907-11-28

ever, concluded to test this theory and
planted small patches of tomatoes and
set out peach orchards. Their success
from the beginning was little short of
f. marvellous. The tomatoes thrived and
! produced abundantly. The peach trees
made fine orchards, and when they
! reached bearing age they produced a
fruit that soon obtained wide reputa-
tion for its excellence.
But Texas raises other crops than
the two mentioned. Everybody's for
November says 'There is more corn
land in Texas than in Illinois, more
wheat land than in the Dakotas, while
in the matter of fruit land Texas.has
California submerged and heaped over
and buried out of reckoning" Profita-
BILE Advertising says: 'Its apples are
better than those of Michigan; Smyrna
yields no better figs; its wine is as good
as that of Languedoc; its wheat is as
perfect as the grain which has made
Minnesota and the Dakotas famous.
Its mineral wealth, almost untouched,
is greater than that of Pennsylvania;
its forests of hard and soft building
woods are the largest and most valua-
BILE of the few remaining areas of mar
ketable timber; its oil fields contain
enough fuel, oil and asphalt to run the
factories, to illuminate the houses and
to pave the cities of nation with So
900, 900 inhabitants. Texas leads in the
cattle raising business. The cotton
crop last year was worth $1,000 900.
The wheat crop is big, but only one fifth
as large as it may be. The rice crop is
great, but it is only just started. The
sugar crop is large, but only one
fftieth as large as it might be. Tex
as raises about $40,000,OOO worth of
| corn in an average year. 1t has the
greatest oil fields in the world. One of
its big 'gusher "Awells will produce as
much oil in given time as all of the
oil wells in Pennsylvania. Fifty of
these wells will produce in ten days as
much oil as all the wells of West Vir-
ginia, California Indiana and Ohio
have produced in the last fifty years. :"
The foregoing facts and figures must
surprise the average reader They are
more than surprising to one who knew
the State in its primitive days; who had
traversed its deserts from water hole to
water hole; seen the whole country
parched after drought of eighteen
months; seen the rains bring out the
foliage and cover the prairies with
| bloom; passed with an armed escort
through the "Indian country" and
lived in a ''city" where large part of
the population had their homes in
| huts-jacals-made of poles driven into
the ground, with dirt floors and thatch-
ed roofs. But this is only the develop
ment Of one section of our great and
GLORIOUS country, the most progressive
an@the most prosperous country on
| the globe today. CAT.

POOL GAME ON WEDNESDAY.
Bob Stone of Waterbury vs George
 Britt of Hartford.

Hartford, April 1.-Manager Ho- mer Fraser, who has returned from Atlantic City, announced yesterday that the championship pool game at Campbells this week between Bob Stone of Waterbury and George Britt of this city had been moved forward one day and will be played on We'd nesday evening as Stone was unable to come here on Thursday. It looks as if It would be hard to pick win her in this match. Early in the season the experts would have back ed Stone but Britt has been improy- ing in his play so rapidly that many now look to see him wear the gold emblem and take away the fifty iron men that comprises the first prize. If Britt wins, he will have to play Me Laughlin. If the latter trims the Hartford boy the trio will have the same old schedule to play all over again. They might keep it up all summer. If Stone wins on Wednes- day night the tournament will be finished.

was played It shortstop, and besides fielding perfectly, he landed three hits in as many innings. Lancaster has given up all hope Of securing Fred Crolius, who does not care to play under Manager Pop Eos ter. The Harrisburg club has been given permission to deal with him. and he may sign with that club.
 Just to show his confidence In him. |self, Cy Young, the veteran pitcher, has made 8 small wager with a fan that he will win over half his games this year, and another that he will win larger percentage of games than the team will win.
 Mike Cantillon tells funny story about Claud Rossman. Says Mike: "It was when Claud was batting around 400 for the Des Moines club. Herman Long gave him the signal to sacrifice, and Claud nodded his head. He hit the first ball pitched with a mighty swat for home run, clear ing the bases and winning the game. When he came in with the crowd cheering, he was all smiles until he met Long. Herman was swearing, yelling half in English and half in German Didn't tell you to sac- |rifice?' he said. Why don't you follow instructions. I've a good mind to bench you for a while. I didn't tell you to hit home run"
 The Springfield team will be made up as follows this esason: Catchers-Robarge. Shea, O'Con- nor.
 Pitchers-Luby, Hess, McLough- lin, Miller, Bowler. First base-Yale. Second base-Stankard. Shortstop-Keenan. Third base-Curtiss. Left field-Rising.
