Crops in September.

The government crop report for the
month of September shows the ex-
pected falling off in the corn crop,
that now promises only moderate yield
instead of the record-breaker which
seemed likely before the dry weather
struck it. The percentage of condition
is 74.6, compared with s4.4 August l
and with 70 4 in September. 1903. and
with 80 2 in September. 1908. The yield
of spring wheat continues to make a
good showing, the per cent being SO 6.
compared with 77.6 for the correspond
ing time of last year. The condition of
oats Is 1873, compared with s5.5 last
month and SO. Z last year. The rye crop
is given at 81, 1885, bushels. being
the yield of about sixteen bushels per
acre, and slightly better than the esti-
mate of last month. The report is sat
isfactory. except for corn. which, how
ever, is still good crop on account of
the large acreage. and. excepting furth-
er trouble. should yield more than
2, 600, 600, 900 bushels.

pie are settling any taxes or how they
figure with the recent improvements in
our city, which can only be traced to
the merchants of this town."
Very many who patronize mail order
establishments find, after receiving the
goods, that quality is not only lacking,
but often they do not get what they
ordered but something which the house
thinks will do. Also that, with express
charges, they have paid more for
the article than they could have bought
it for at home. The crime itself is,
however, the neglect of support to the
men at home-your fellow taxpayers
and your neighbors, without whom
your property would depreciate so per
cent in value.

Meat from South America.

Coincident with the warning of Hill
about failing national food supply and
with the continued rise in the prices of
meat, came from Consul Goding at
Montevideo report saying that certain
American interests had been investi-
eating the feasibility of importing
meats from Uruguay and Argentina,
and had found that meats can be de-
livered at the Atlantic ports of the
United States at cents a pound or
thereabout. Whether the people in
vestigating are Independents or are
connected with the American beef trust
the consul did not appear to know. But
it draws attention to the fact now be-
coming generally known and advanced
by the trust as a cause of the rise in
prices, namely, that there is shortage
in the beef and mutton supply of the
United States

Want Department ofMines.

Goldfield, New, Sept. % The crea-
ton of a federal department of mines
was urged at the mining congress toda,
by Senator Newlands of Nevada and
Congressman Englebright of California
Newlands dwelt upon the Importance
of the mining industry, contending that
it stood next to agriculture and that the
powers by nation should be exercised
in the diffusion of knowledge regarding
it and instruction as to methods, se-
curity and economical development.
The San Francisco delegates were in
structed to see President Taft in their
city and urge him to support the de-
partment of mines similar to that of
geology.

Weed Seed in Feed.

In recent bulletin of the Connecti-
cut State Experiment Station IS en-
phasized the danger of the introduction
of weeds by the use of feeds made up,
in part or in whole, of grain screenings
and similar materials, which, as rule,
contain a great amount of weed seed.
These screenings vary a good deal in
quality. Thus an analysis recently
made of wheat screenings showed about
300 of fax and shrunken cereal. l59o
of foxtails, so of bindweeds and pig
weeds, 1870 of weed seeds of other
species and 2lqo of dust, broken seed
and sand.

The Mail Order Question.

The Van Vert (O) Daily Times
says:
1.-The distribution of catalogues sent
out by mail order house in Chicago
was stopped yesterday. 1t appears
that a representative of the concern
visited the town last week and con-
tracted for their disposal among the
residence and shop districts. While the
intention of all concerned might have
been all right, yet there is local or
dinance existing which governs the dis
tribution of this method of advertising,
and, as no attempt had been made to
inquire or to secure the proper creden-
tials the progress of the work met with
the above result. The catalogue is of
the usual type, which in a glowing
manner exhibits some tempting and
wonderful bargains, just the kind of
getup that will mislead even the most
credulous, and after going up against
and figuring the total expense of the
purchase and then comparing with the
same articles such as may be had of
our local merchants there is differ
ence both in quality and the net price.

STRAY TOPICS
 FROM GOTHAM

NEW YORK, November ai.-Tke criminal abuse of the hypnotic power, for the qualification of morbid curos. ity and of the popular craving for un. usual sensations, has demanded another victim. One of the members of the disreputable guild of fake hypnotists who seem to be as thick as fieas in ey. cry community, gave a hypnotic show" at a place of amusement in SOmerville, N. J. the other day. He placed one of his "subieets' in eataleptic state and went through the customary "stunts' with him. But, when the performance was over and the "professor tried to awaken the subject from his trance, his efforts proved futile. A doctor was called, then two, three and finally six, but all their combined efforts did not succeed matter became known through the sen sational afternon papers, scores of hypnotists offered their services and two or three were permitted to try their hoeuspoeus on the lifeless victim but he did not react in the least, and the coroner finally lecided that the man was dead. An abduction was or dered which showed that the man real. ly was dead and that his death had been caused by rupture of the aorta probably during the strain of the mus eular contraction in the cataleptic state. Sane people are wondering how long it will be before the authorities throughout the country shall put stop to these Hypnotic" shows.

Things are becoming decidedly spOoky nowadays. The spiritists or spiritualists, or whatever they may call themselves are having their inning at present and tremendous boom in the business of professional mediums is to be expected The coming of the ia nous Italian medium who managed to fool even so famous scie9tist and careful investigator as the late Cesare LombrOso, has caused a great stir in spiritualistic circles in New York and everybody is on tiptoes of expectation for the wonderful things the famous medium may perform. She is to be Investigated by several prominent scientists" who are already closely identified with spiritualism and firm be- Hevers in the genuineness of spirit manifestations
 The famous Italian medium is a com mon, unedueated, even illiterate wo- man but extremely shrewd and clever like most professional mediums. She is a past master of all the palpable tricks and deeeptions practiced by mediums all over the world and seems to know few tricks so clever that even men like the late LOmbroso were deceived by them and led to the belief that they could be accounted for only by spirit aid. On her way across the ocean, the medium, it is asserted, tried to remain ineognito, but she was "dis. covered" and prevailed upon to give nightly seanees. She kept her press agents busy recording her wonderful feats and getting the accounts into the papers after her arrival. Now the ground is prepared and the farce may begin.
 Astrologers sometimes come remark ably near to the truth. A man was ar rested the other day for stealing horses Upon his person horoscope was found which stated that the man was ex- tremely fond of animals, particularly horses" The horoscope was all right, but the trouble with the man was that he was too fond of horses belonging to other persons.
