One of the greatest agricultural meet
ings ever held in New England was that
of the 4lst annual session of the national
grange in Hartford. Recently about
$500 patrons were given the highest de.
gree Of the order, which is the largest
class ever receiving the mysteries of the
seventh degree. The grange is now
recognized as the leading agricultural
organization of the United States and in
influence is growing year by year. This
is as it should be, and must accomplish
wonders for rural life, provided the
efforts of the organization are not side
tracked or diverted from the principles
outlined when the grange was founded.
New England is the stronghold OF the
grange, and Connecticut did itself proud
in the entertainment of the national
delegation recently.

STAR WITNESS ON STAND.
Testimony Brings Out Kisses for the
Defendant.

Flandreau. s. d., June 13.-Peter
Erickson, the star witness for the
prosecution, was on the stand during
the afternoon. His testimony was
much along the same lines as at the
preliminary examination of Mrs. Kauf-
mann on June IL last year. One new
incident related by him had reference
to an occasion when Agnes Polreis
was iostled to the floor Of q storm
house by Mrs. Kaufman and being
very weak was prevented from rising.
according to the witness. by Mrs.
Kaufman. Erickson testified that
Mrs. Kaufman prevented him going
to the assistance of the girl. At this
juncture there were some Kisses In
the courtroom, but they were quickly
suppressed.
The day was an eventful one In
many particulars. The features were
the direct and cross-examination Of
Erickson, Kisses and applause accru-
ing to the distinct advantage OF the
cause OF the prosecution.

TOGUARD COAL MINER
Geological Survey Will Make
Tests of Various Explosives.
MINIATURE MINE TO BE BUILT

instruction In Rescue Work Will Be
Given There-inorsass Of Fire Damp
and Coal Dust-Horrors Led to the
Establishment Of an Experimental
Station.
Determined endeavors to stop the
sacrifice Of human lives In the coal
mines of the United States are to be
made at once by the fuel division OF
the geological survey, says a Washing
ton special to the New York Times.
Plans have been drawn for an expert
mental station where tests OF dyna-
mites and powders used In blasting
will be made to determine their safety
In the presence of fire damp and coal
gas. Explosives of all sorts will be
hurled by means Of mortar into
mammoth boiler plate cylinder previ-
ously filed with gas, and the effects
will be noted II ignition fails after
severe test the explosives will be
known as permissible explosives" and
their use urged upon mine owners.
There will be experiments In rescue
work. One part Of the station will be
fitted as a miniature coal mine and
miners and operators taught how to
save lives. In gas explosions hun
dreds Of lives could be saved were II
possible for the rescue party to enter
Immediately after the accident. Fire
damp often holds the men back for
hours while their comrades are slowly
being suffocated or burned to death.
The government experts have found
an apparatus In Europe which enables
the rescue party to enter any place
where there Is gas. The miniature
mine will be filled with dense smoke
and practical demonstrations with this
apparatus will be made.
], A. Holmes, chief Of the technology
branch Of the geological survey, says:
"There seems to be no end Of gas and
coal dust explosions. Instead Of grow
Ing less, these horrors appear to be
multiplying. In 1906 the coal mine
death roll In Pennsylvania was 500,
and $50 died as the result of gas or
coal dust explosions.
1.-THE United States Is behind Europe
In safeguarding the lives of the men
In the mines. England and Belgium.
where the mines are notoriously full of
fire damp, have had for years expert
mental stations, and In these countries
there are but few casualties In the
mines.
There are q number Of permissible
explosives In England, and these only
may be used. In England also the
limit charge which must not be ex-
ceeded, Is employed. Few Of the
states here have such regulations"
Coal dust rather than gas causes a
large number of explosions, officials
Of the geological survey have been
watching the frequently recurring ac-
cidents In different parts of the coun-
try. Some Of the recent mine explo.
sions In one state West Virginia-are
as follows:
Red Ash. March 6, 1900 100 killed.

Board of Tax Commission
ers to Ask Legislation
in This Regard.
SINS BRINGS HOME NEW IDEA
Would Divorce State From County,
Giving Former Power Over
Public Utilities.

Indianapolis Ind. Nov 15-With the
return from Columbus, O.. of Fred
Sims. secretary OF state. and other of
hcials. it is said that the state board
OF tax commissioners may adopt
resolution for presentation to the gen
eral assembly changing the method of
taxation in Indiana. The officials at
tended the national convention of tax
commissioners and obtained many new
ideas. several of which might be
adopted, they think. in Indiana.
The best thought Of the convention
was that state and local taxation
should be divorced. This could be done
by allowing the county to make ali as
sessments and levy all taxes save on
corporations. public utilities. etc. such
as railroads. traction companies. tele-
phone and telegraph companies. ex-
press companies. light. heat and power
plants, water works. street car sys-
TENS. etc.
The plan, it is declared. would pro-
mote local self government. CONFORM
with local conditions. develop eouaIi-
zation and business. keep taxes wholly
within actual needs. and in various
other ways be beneficial. State Off
ciaIs are not espousing the new plant
but they regard it with favor and win
considerit in detail at some near date.
