Chemically pure iron has never been
obtained until very recently. It has
been found almost impossible to re-
move the last traces of impurities, es-
pecially of sulphur. Buy German
chemist, DR.. III. Kreusler, has finally
by long series Of ingenious processes,
partly chemical and partly electrical,
succeeded in isolating the pure metal,
the properties Of which he expects to
differ greatly from those Of the i'm
pure iron that we know. Iron prepar-
ed by Kreuslers process resembles
platinum.-New York Herald.

muster force sufficient to save itself.

SIGEL GIRLS LETTERS READ
Told Both Ling and Gain That She
Loved Them.

New York.-The first actual evidence
of the strange, triangular romance which
resulted in the tragic death of Elsie Sigel
because of her friendship for two young
Cinnamon was given out at police head
quarters. A letter to Chu Gain, signed
Elsie" constitutes a confession from
the granddaughter OF the late Gen. Franz
Sigel that she loved the Mongolian res
tauranteur with as much ardor as though
he was a man of her own race and color.
Another letter signed by the young girl
and addressed to Leon Ling, the Chris
TANNED" young Chinaman who strangled
her and placed the body in trunk June
0 last, tells Of an earlier love affair with
the latter Oriental. This letter also re
veals the eoquetry brought into play by
the pretty high school graduate to hold
tht affections of both of her Chinese
sweethearts. From the reading of the
letters the willingness OF an American
mother for her daughter to make an ALI
ance with a Chinaman is shown with such
clearness as TO leave no doubt about the
social basis upon which Orientals were
received and entertained in this strange
household.

than fifty State representatives Of the
Farmers National Union, who gathered
here for a weeks session in response to
a call issued by President Barrett of the

smaller cotton acreage by giving the
farmer larger supply of food products
to market. ID. J. Neill, State president
of the Texas branch of the union, said
there is danger that the cotton crop of
the coast region Of Texas will be totally
destroyed by the boil weevil. &. 4. Lee,
Georgia State president, said that this
years Georgia cotton crop is the smallest
ever known. c. III. Casson Of winning
ham reported that farmers in Alabama
are rapidly diversifying their crops. II.
). Mobley Of Arkansas said that torreR
tial rains had done serious damage to
cotton in his State. Among the sub
jects which will be discussed are; Meth
DDS of amalgamating warehouses, estab-
lishment of cotton grading schools, the
regulation of produce exchanges, what
special legislation farmers need, packing
houses, fertilizing and other topics of
particular interest not GSly to cotton
farmers, but to all agriculturists.

Waggoner Bank and Trust Company, a
welldressed stranger compelled Cashier
Walter +. King, at the point Of a six
shooter, to turn over the $500 which
was piled in front Of him, and made
rood his escape.
The hold-up was the most sensational
-obbery pulled of in Fort Worth in a
quarter OF a century. There was no one
in the bank at the time, with the ex-
ception Of the cashier, who was busy
working on the cash balance, and had
the bills in a roll, ready to take them
to the eompany's central bank, at the
corner Of Houston and Eighth streets.
Cashier King was the only man in the
branch institution at the time, and paid
little attention to the stranger when
he walked in. BE looked up from his
work to stare into the muzzle Of six
shooter.
Make a move or a noise Of any kind
nd I'll kill you" said the stranger, in
a low tone. wow, push that pile of
money to the window here"
With the alternative OF death il he
lid not comply, the cashier obeyed, and,
after stuffng the $500 into his pocket,
the stranger backed out of the door,
still pointing the gun at the cashiers
head and threatening 20 kill him ii he
made an attempt to follow him.
