CAMPAIGN EXPENDITURES.

(Trom Gov. Hughes Youngstown
SPECIFY
"Mr. Bryan also has much to say
with regard to corrupt practices and
campaign expenditures. But he omits
to give due credit to the Republican
party for what it has accomplished
with regard to these important reforms,
IN accomplishment the more notewor-
thy b the light Of Mr.. BEyan's reitar-
ated criticisms Of contributions to Re
publican campaign funds. In the State
Of New York Republican Legislature
In 1905 passed q gtatnte prohibiting
corporations from HnAking any political
contributions directly eR indirectly. and
providing that ot4csn, directors Or
stockholders participating in or con-
ssnting to the violation OF the law.
should be guilty Of ! criminal Oftenqe.
Ana know Of no more drastic statute
in this country with regard to the pub
licity Of campaign contributions and
for the prevention Of corrupt practices
than that passed in New York under
Republican auspices. These were mot
promises Of an opposition party seek
ing power, but enactments By q party
in power securing genuine reforms.
Proper recognition must, Of course, be
given to the patriotic Democrats who
supported these reforms but they were
enacted BY a Republican administra'
ton. Congress has also legislated
against political contributions BY cor
poraticns. Purity Of elections and free
opportunity for the interrupted express
sion Of the popular viii lie st the fcun-
datiOn Of every reform and cannot be
too carefully safeguardsd. And there
should be federal legislation securing
proper publicity Of and accounting for
campaign contributions in connection
with federal elections. But It must
fairly b recognised that the skirts OF
neither party have been clean. II we
search Mr.. Bryan's following We shall
and not few who have slnned, and
also those who, If we may Judge from
their local activities. are still unrepent.
ant The Democratic party cannot
claim unsullied virtue either with re-
gard to the source Of its revenues or
its readiness to receive them"

KILLED ON TRACK.
Body of Robert Vinegar Terribly [ Mutilated By Cars.

Norfolk, Aug 20.-Robert Vinegar aged about 50, was struck and in- stantly killed yesterday near Prof M. I. Pupin's farm, half mile east of the Norfolk railroad station by the Central New England train, No 10, due at Norfolk at 3 o'clock in charge of Conductor Hinman and Engineer Kane Vinegar, whose home is in the southern part of the town, was a passenger on the train due in Norfolk at 1 1:1S and accompanied by his wife, started to walk the track to his home. Persons who observed the cou- pie assert that the man was consid7 erably under the influence of liquor. When hit by the train both were seated on the track or on the ties. The woman was thrown down an em- bankment, but it was not known whether she was injured or not. She was taken to the County hospital at Winsted on the same train.
 When struck, Vinegar was horri- bly mutilated and his body was car rfed about twenty yards. The head was shattered entirely, no sign of 1t being visible on the trunk.

JOAN OF ARC PRISON.
Foundation of Ancient Tower Dug
 Out in Convent Grounds.

The prison of Joan of Arc has just been located near Rouen. The foundations of the ancient tower in which it was to have been discov- eredr and opened up through some new construction work undertaken by the government in the grounds of the Ursuline convent, from which the nuns were recently expelled.
 The workmen in digging for the new foundations came upon a mas siye wall. inclosing a circular space with diameter of about 36A feet. When this was cleared of earth a well was found in the center meas uring 6 feet across and about 30 feet in depth. Water rose in 1t clear and cold as soon as the earth was cleared from the bottom.
 When the antiquarians got busy they identified the wall as the foun- dation of a building which was known for ages as The Maid s Tower" A document dating back to 1641 was produced which. taking it for granted that this tower had been the prison of the Maid of Or leans 210 years previously. gave a description and measurements of 1t, including the we'll. which unmistak- ably correspond with the ruins just exhumed.
 The structure appears to have stood unchanged from the death of Joan in 1431 to 1890, when it was reduced to ruins in the course of a siege. In 1769 the city leased the site of which the ruin stood to Louis Mouchard. s
 In 17SO he appears to have stop ped paying rent. The greater part of the ruin was cleared away about this time. but as late as 17S9 a yis- itor, writing about the place. men, tions the foundation of the tower as visible and speaks of the we'll. Af- ter that 1t was filled in with earth and later the site became part of the nuns garden, and the existence of the ruin and the tradition attach ing to it were. forgotten

AN ACRES POSSIBILITIES.
Experiment to be Made to Test Its Greatest Yielding CapaeitY.

Work on one acre for demonstra- tion purposes is to be started in Sep tember at LaBruyere, the Blue Ridge Farm of the Brus brothers. The brothers have not decided finally what crops they will,try to fill in the fall months. but probably they will plant spinach and late tur- nips or spinach, turnips and rad ishes. These products will bring high prices in the market when cold weather comes. The Brus Brothers agreed to set aside one acre of their farm to dem onstrate the possibilities of that much ground. Spinach is the hardest of late crops and sells readily, while the latest radishes are accepted in the city as delicacies They expect to keep the special acre fully occupied until the. time comes to set out plants grown in the hotbeds and green houses. This will start the next spring early. .
 From September 10 to the same date next year the acre will be yield ing continually. Every item of ex- pense and every cent received for the products from it will be recorded dai- ly.
 |" The demonstration will be inter- esting." Eugene Brus said few days ago. We are giving the idea close attention because we cannot afford to miss one opportunity during the year. We are satisfied that. our acres can be made to produce more than they do. We believe this spe- cial acre can be pushed to higher pro- ductivity than in the past and we shall try to get it to the highest point. Our record will show labor required and its cost; time used for each crop and the price and profit | realized"

The five acts of the play abound in thrilling incidents and exciting cIimaxes. The play Is handsomely mounted and the com pany does splendid work. Between the acts there are new illustrated songs and motion pictures.
