fey, national Democratic committee.
man for Pennsylvania and multi-mil-
lionaire oil man, has gone into the
hands of a receiver, appointed late
Friday by Judge Joseph NJ. Swearin-
gen, in the common pleas court of this
county. The action was taken upon a
bill in equity filed by J. H. Galley.
The bill alleges that Col. Guffey's
indebtedness is about Sc, 100000, OF
which about $95O,O00 is unsecured;
that the defendant has nc ready money
with which to meet the payments due,
and hat certain creditors are threat
ening to sell his collaterals and enter
suits.
1t is further asserted that Col. Gufey
a assets of more than ST. 900 900, a
large part of which is stock Of the J.
M. Guffey Company and the West Vir-
ginia Company, w coal companies
which own 1856, 700 acres of cooking coal
in West Virginia. These properties
are asserted to be worth at least $751;
000,0 900, and the bill in equity main
tains that they are estimated to con-
tain two billion tons of coal, which,
at a profit of one cen per ton, would
realize $40, 100000.
All these stocks and bonds are
pledged as collateral and the receiver
ship was found necessary to prevent a

The latest government report is ad-
ditiOnally favorable to a big wheat
crop. The returns. as interpreted by
the skilled statistician of the New
York produce exchange, indicate a to-
tai harvest of TOP, 4O4 900 bushels,
against an indication for the same
time last year of $50, 351 900 bushels.
The estimate for 1909 fell below the
actual result. for the total yield last
year was 1878, 900 bushels. Should
there be similar excess this year there
will be a good chance for a record
breaking output.

1t is stated that the recent missile
test against the ram Katahdin has
demonstrated that the theory as to the
piercing power of big projectiles fired
a modern battleships' range is wrong
that the missile really drops from the
trajectory at SO sharp an angle that 1t
delivers a glancing blow and therefore
does not penetrate armor plate of only
moderate thickness. If this is true.
the fighting will have to be at closer
range, and the guns of smaller caliber
than the big 13-inch rifles will come
into greater favor.

Russia has not figured extensively

seems to have ambitions in that direc.

feet that the area sown to cotton this
year is double that of 1909. In one dis
trict 400 acres are devoted to the
