WORK CITY'S CEMETERIES
They Number Over One Hundred and
Cover More Than Ten ThOus-
and Acres.

Within radius of 20 miles from
New Yorks city hall there are III
Ipublic cemeteries that are regularly
incorporated companies. They cover
more than 10000 acres in all, and
represent an investment of a great
many millions of dollars. Within
their gates are buried more people
than make up the present population
of Greater New York. Most of these
cemeteries are, in the last analysis,
huge real estate companies, which
operate in New York under a special
enactment of the legislature. This
provides, in substance, that one half
.of the proceeds derived from the sale
of lots may go to the stockholders of
the corporation, while the other half
must be used for the development,
up-keep and general Identification
of the property. There are a few,
like Greenwood, for xample, which
are exempt from assessments, and
public taxes, and whose income
from the sale of lots and from other
sources can be used for no other pur-
pose than the preservation of the
cemetery and the incidental expenses
connected with it's administration.
In either case large sums of money
in the aggregate are accumulated,
and are invested in bonds and mort
cages. The cemetery associations
and companies, therefore, as a class,
rank among the large financial insti-
buttons in the city as lenders and in
vestors of money. The trustees of
Greenwood cemetery have $4,50O,-
600 invested in bonds and mortgages,
possess other assets amounting to
100000 and in addition hold in
trust $1,1O7,0O0 for the special care
of certain lots. In it's ATS acres $780,
904 interments have been made

RAISE MELONS ON A BOTTLE.
Here's Something New From the
Great Illinois Melon Center.

Watermelons raised on a bottle
have added new fame to the Carroll
County. H., products. The process
is simple, consisting of cutting a run
ner, or branch, vine Immediately
back of the developing melon and in
sorting the cut end of the vine into
a bottle of water sweetened with SUI
gar. The water is quickly absorbed,
resulting in increased size, rapid
growth and greater sweetness.
One melon raised this season after
this treatment weighed eighty
pounds. Carroll county is the water
melon center of Illinois. The melon
fields are valued at 500 per acre.
Where the soil is adapted to melons
the crop is the most profitable that
can be grown. The season opens the
middle of August and is now about
over. About 800 car loads have been
shipped out this season, ten solid
trains of thirty cars each. About
$4,000 has been paid to the growers
for their fruit. One grower realized
$4,000 from forty acre field.

Saws Clerk Robbed Store.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Dec. 17.-One of
the features of the trial now in pro-
gress in the United States court in
this city of j. G. Cantonwine, formerly
a prominent business man of Armour,
OIL an Indictment charging him with
yerjury, was the presence on the wit
ness stand of the defendant himself,
who testified in his own behalf.
Many of the questions asked him con-
cerned the transferring of property to
his wife prior to the alleged robbery
of the safe in his store of $4,000 in
cash on the night of September Is,
1908, and prior to his having filed a
petition in voluntary bankruptcy. 1t
appears to be the purpose of the de-
Tense to attempt to show that the
robbery, instead of being committed
by Cantonwine himself, as charged by
his creditors, was committed by a
clerk named Smith, who for a period
of about eight weeks prior to the rob-
berry had been employed in the Can
tonwine store, and who is alleged to
have known that Cantonwine had a
large sum of money in the safe. 1t is
claimed that on one occasion another
clerk entered the store Unexpectedly
and found Smith standing in front of
the safe and heard the safe door close,
and that Smith, when he turned
around, was greatly confused.

Claim He Was Robbed.

Elmer Embody, the Emmett farmer
who was fined in Norfolk police court
for shooting up" the Junction saloon
last Wednesday, claims that he was
robbed of SITS during his stay in Nor
folk, and efforts are now being made
on his behalf to locate the money and
the thief, if thief there was. Embody
claims that it was while he was in
the Junction saloon that he was
touched"
Following dispute with the bar
tender Embody drew revolver and
shot at glass tumbler on the bar.
His aim was not what it should have
been and the bullet struck the cash
register.
Charles Claussen of Emmett, who
was with Embody at the time, says he
saw $3.50 in Embody's possession in
the saloon. Shortly afterward, EN-
body claims, the money was missed.
Embody and Charles Andrus, who
are said to be farmers of means living
in Holt county, came to Norfolk to pay
a note of $400 which was due on a
| threshing engine. The two men were
partners in the engine deal and each
carried half of the $500 when they
reached town.
The two men entered the Junction
saloon. Embody took out his pocket
book containing around 5000 in big
bills. He says he spent about $40
returning the balance to his pocket in
the purse. He claims that when OF
ficer Livingstone searched him, fol
lowing his shooting at the cash reg
lister, the purse contained but $14, and
that $l76 was missing.
