s. Rogers; 12mo. Cloth. Price, s1.25
Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co., Boston.
This is the record-breaker of all the
Dave Porter Series" hard to achieve as
that distinction is. One of Dawes chums
told him of gold mine in Montana
which belonged to the mother of this
chum, Roger Morr. but had been lost in
a landslide. So, nothing would do but
that Dave and his friend must hunt for
the mine. Those who know Dave need
not be told that he found the mine, but
he was to have many exciting adventures.
1t is a stirring tale of the mining regions
and of the many perils of tue great

in National Democratic Club.

New York, March 1.-THE GUST
ing of Charles T. Murphy, leader Of
Tammany Hall, and several OF his
followers, from membership ir the
National Democratic club, created a
stir in political circles today. The
oste1sible reason given during TIE
heated debate over the matter at the
club last night was the Murphy YVES

dent OF the club. who has been lead

STUCKEY BILL WAS
NOT NECESSARY
Board of Control Applying Rigorous
Tests For inferior Ma
terialS.

Clemson College. March 12-That
the "Stuckey Bill" which sought to
prevent the use of inferior materials
in the maHufauture of fertilizers. was
unnecessary is the statement Of II. NJ
Stackhouse. secretary OF the State
Board of Fertilizer control. Mr..
Stackhouse said, speaking OF the bill.
that the board two years ago antici-
pated the need Of such protection to
buyers and required an availability
of new amoniate materials about
equal TO cotton seed meal. blood,
fish, etc. Mr.. Stackhouse said that the
board was already doing what the
"Stuckey Bill" would have required
aad was doing it in more economi-
ca. and practical way.
GAS the use and sale Of commercial
fertilizers grew" continued Mr.. Stack
house, the supply OF these amoniates
would not meet the demand, except
at prohibitive prices, and manufactur-
ers began to introduce and to use
some that were considered inferior
and Objectionable. Under the gene
raj name of "tankage," a slaughter
house by-products of tried and we'll
recognized agricultural value they
began to use any tank-rendered nj
trogenoGS material.
THE chemists OF tnis and other
stations tell us that some OF these
products can be treated with sui
phuric acid and made soluble amolia-
tes just as ground phosphate rock so
treated becomes soluble acid phos-
phate; and some experiments in the
field at the S. G.. Experiment Station
here gave satisfactory results. But
the Board OF Control served notice on
manufacturers who offered for sale
in this State such materials that they
must explicitly register such use, ac-
compained by a certificate OF analy-
sis by some reputable chemist that
they had the required availability as
plant-food. The laboratory at Ciem-
soa College then tests all mixed fer
tilizers for the standard required and
"blacklists and publishes for the in
formation OF buyers any fertilizers
found below standard
These new ammoniates cost less to
the manufacturers, who should be
willing to share this difference with
the consumers, and this fact is leading
to much of the agitation i'm favor OF
home-miXing. To meet this demand,
the department has issued two bulle-
tins giving instructions and all sorts
of formulas for mixing at home which
may be had on application to Glenn

inspectors are required to weigh pack

CLEARS MYSTERY
ABOUT VEGARA
Comprehensive Reports of Recovery
OF the BOdy-No American
OnenSe.

Washington, March 1O.-Compre-
hensive reports from Mai. Gen. Bliss
and American Consul Garrett at La
redo, received at the war and state
departments today, cleared up the
mystery which had surrounded the de
livery on American soil of the body
OF the American rancher, Clemente
Vergara. The reports completely sat
isfed the officials that no act has
been committed by national or State
agents in violation OF Mexican SOW
ereignty and that if there were any
ohense in the removal Of the body
from Mexico, it was committed by
individuals, so the matter could not
be made an International issue.
Secretary Bryan stated that he
would not undertake to prosecute the
persons who obtained the body, even
If he knew their identity. which he did
not, beyond the fact established by
Gen. Bliss report that they were
civilians and probably Mexicans.
The finding OF the body OF Vergara
has had the result OF advancing the
prosecution OF the claim against the
Huerta government for reparation.
and today Secretary Bryan transmit
ted the telegraphic report from Con-
sui Garrett to Charge O'Shaughnessy
in Mexican City. 1t is understood that
the primary purpose OF this is to dis
prove the original allegation OF the
Mexican federal commander at
Nuevo Laredo that Vergara had made
his escape from captivity and Joined
the constitutionalists.
With the body in evidence. as soon
as further facts as to the character
OF Vergara's fatal wounds are devel-
oped by the investigation Gov. Col.
quit is making, Mr. O'Shaughnessy
will be prepared to call upon Gen.
Huerta to redeem his promise TO pun

A fitting epitaph, he said, for sena-

be: He lived not wisely but too well,
and killed himself eating"
There is no doubt to my mind that

declared Mr.. Tillman. There is n

some were at the killing
