conntered and made things go rath-
er slowly, but the company expects

road to that point contemplated,

changing conditions. and members OF

HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE
FARMER.

The greatest educational need OF
the age Is better and more practical
equipment for the farmer and fruit
grower In the way of SCIENTIFIC
AND INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
The state agricultural college at
Corvallis Is trying to meet that de-
mand.
A writer In Success magazine
says the profession Of agriculture de-
mands knowledge of nature's laws,
problems processes, and possibilities
more than almost any other.
THE FARMER DEALS WITH
MORE CONCRETE THINGS THAN
DOES ALMOST ANY OTHER
WORKER, and he should under
stand the laws of chemic forces.
He should understand the chemis-
try OF the soil in order that he may
mix brains with Il, be able to bring
out the latent possibilities of bar
ren. sterile land.
He should understand the laws of
hercdity in stockbreeding, the mar
ve'ous possibilities of fruit evolution,
and trees and of plants.
He should be ready TO SUPPLE
MENT THE VARYING SEASONS
AND TO DEFEAT THEIR TRICKY
WARFARE.
What other man can get greater
enjoyment or profit from scientific
knowledge than the farmer?
Should a man spend his life In the
country, In the very Eden of natures
mysterles, and yet know nothing of
their secrets?
Is Il worth nothing To be abe 10
read books in the running brooks,
and sermons In stones?"
Is It nothing to be able TO read the
story of the creation written in the
rocks. TO be able TO trace the hand
writing OF the Creator IN THE
STONE STRATA WHICH CROP
OUT OF THE SOIL?
| Is IL worth nothing 10 n farmer
to know something OF the mysteries
which unfold the petals of the flow
ers and deyepol the fruit from the
seed?
Is he TO remain forever ignorant
of the marvels of the sunset and the
rainbow?
SHALL HE NOT KNOW SOME.
THING OF THE LAWS OF THE
CLOUDS and the marvellous color
ings of the heaven and something ot
the wonderful mysteries OF the con
stellatlons spread over his head?
Enwrapped in Natures mysteries
must he remain incapable of under
standing any of them, entirely ig
norant of their meaning?
The fact Is, We havA been too liz
norant TO know or TO appreciate th'
dignity ana the marvellous possibil
titles of the profession OF agriculture

Haskell's Alibi Is
Established; Queer
Detroit Ry. Deal

NEW YORK. Sept. 22.-wall-st.. in
a mysterious manner. today admitted
the residence OF Gov. c. N. Haskell in
New York In 1898. Prominent finan-
ciers and bankers spoke OF his sky
rocket financial career here In 1897
$500, thus establishing his alibi, but
limiting at an unwritten story.
Mr.. Haskells career In New York
had to do with the Lima Northern
Railroad Co. and the Detroit and Lima
Northern Railroad. Altogether there
were upwards of one hundred inves-
tors of this and other cities who
bought %1,194,000 worth Of per cent
gold mortage bonds of the ssIima
Northern and $2,092,000 worth of
per cent gold mortgage bonds of the
Detroit & Lima railroad. These bonds
were introduced by Charles. N. Has
kell, rising young lawyer from OF
taMa, Ohio
E. r. Thomas was elected a dilec-
tor of the Detroit & Lima railroad In
September, 1897, and shortly after was
made its president. The bonds were
sold at first at their face value-($l.-
000), but. two years afterward they
we're traded at par for common stock
of the Detroit Southern Railroad Co.
(Successor to the Ohio Southern and
the Detroit & Lima Northern compan.
les, which same common stock never
sold above $50 per share. In May.
1905, 1t traded at 81 per share. II was
shown today that z. r. Thomas and
Mr.. Haskell were rather closely con-
nected with each other, but Thomas
was finally eliminated.

The dead body of w. H. Mum, Of
No. 1853 Second-st.. was found In the
alley between First and Cass. Fort and
Congress-sts.. shortly after 6 o'clock.
Tuesday morning, with bullet wound
through the head.
The deepest mystery surrounds his
death, for while the. position of the
body and other circumNances suggest
suicide, there are other elements
which seem to- point to murder No
revolver orr other weapon WAS found
in the alley, and although the mxn
was well dressed and apparently pros
porous, no money was found in his
clothes.
But for the absence Of the gun I
would say the man committed sui

with Detective Larkins, is working on
the case. "Of course, 1t Is possible
someone may have picked 1t up, Tor
quite a crowd collected after the dis
covery of the body"
The body was found by Andrew

When found. the body reclined
against a pile of old. half.rotten pea

showing that the weapon was held
very close.
Mum had been dead several hours
when found. This circumstance, to-
the neighborhood, heard q. shot some
where around 8 o'clock Monday night
leads to the belief that the crime. II
such II was. was committed about
that time. No one was seen running
from the alley. however.

Joy. Haskell, OF Oklahoma, which the
president Endorsed In statement CIV
IN out Monday. The charges irlpli
,ate Gov. Haskell In an alleged at
.empt to bride former Attorney Gen
oral Monnett, Of Ohio. AS Gov. Has
kell Ia treasurer ofthe Democratic ma
tional committee and as such Is yer,
close to Bryan. the latter regards the
Endorsement OF the charges
as reflection on him. The Telegram
Is as follows:
Detroit, Mich. Sept, %, 1908.
Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,
President of the United States.
Dear Sir:
In a statement given out by you
yesterday, and published IN this
mornings papers, you indorsed a
charge made against Gov. Has
kell, of Oklahoma, to the effect
that he was once In the employ OF
the Standard Oil Company, and,
as such employee. was connected
with an attempt to bride or infiu-
ence Attorney General Monnett.
OF Ohio, to dismiss suits pending
against the Standard Oil company.
In indorsing this charge you at
tack the Democratic party and Its
candidate. saying that Gov.
Haskell stands high in the coun-
ellis Of Mr.. Bryan and Is the treas
urer Of his national campaign
committed" And you add that
the publication of this cores
pondence not merely justifes In
striking fashion the action OF the
administration, but also casts a
curious side-light on the attacks
made upon the administration,
both in the Denver convention,
which nominated Mr.. Bryan, and
!, In the course of Mr.. Bryan's cam
paign."
Your charge Is 80 serious that
!. cannot allow II to go unnoticed.
Gov. Haskell has denied that he
was ever employed by the Stand
ard Oil Company In any capacity
or was ever connected any way
whatever with It or with the
transaction upon which your
charge Is based.
Gov. Haskell demanded an In
vestigation at the time the charge
was FIRST made. Offering to-appear
and testify, and he demands an In
vestigation now. l agree with you
that II Gov. Haskell Is guilty as
charged, he is UNIT to be connect
ed with the Democratic national
committee, and am sure you will
agree with me that IL he Is inno-
cent he deserves to be exonerated
from 30 damning an accusation.
AS the selection Of Gov. Has
kell as chairman Of the committee
on resolutions, In Denver, and also
as treasurer of the Democratic ma
tional committee, had my approx
al and Endorsement, / feel 1t my
duty to demand an immediate In
vestigation of charge against
him Endorsed by the president or
the United States. Your high posi-
ton, as well as your sense of JUS
tice, would prevent your giving
sanction and circulation to such

a charge without proof. and re-
specially request. therefore, thnt
you furnish any proof which you
have In your possession. or II you
have no proof. I request that you
indicate : method by which the
truth may be entertained.
Without consulting Mr.. Haskell.
I will agree that he will appear
for investigation before any tri-
bunal. public or private. which
you may indicate, and | will fur
Their agree that his connection
with the national committee and
with this campaign shall cease In
the event that the decision of
such tribunal connects him In any
way with this charge, or, In case
you. after an investigation Of the
facts, say that you believe him
guilty, OF the charges made.
Az the candidate Of the Demo
cratic party, shap not permit

ocratIc party In the present cam
paIan. have assisted you to The
extent OF my ability In remsdlsi
measures which deemed for the
public good which you have un-
dertaken; have urged Demo.

opolles than either you or your
party associates have been willing
to undertake. The platform of

other subjects, while the platform

with me In requesting the Demo
cratic national committee to IN
maximum OF $4,000 for indir

lish before the election all con-
tributions above 500, and the
committee acted favorably upon
this request. The Republican
candidate and the Republican ma
tional committee proposed, not
publication before the election,
but publication after the election.

The Democratic party is max
