THE FIRST CROP OF RAPE
HARVESTED JTBAB, MONMOUTH AWB
FOUKD VERT PROn TABUS;
Seed Brings $35 Per Acre, After
Steep, Goats and Hot Had Grascd
on Field for Months
MONMOUTH. Or., July 7. John B.
Stump finished yesterday on his farm, ad
joining Monmouth, a 30-acre field of rape,
which yielded 10 bushels to the acre. This
plant resembles the rutabaga turnip, the
stalks running about four feet high when
.matured. The pods and seeds are also
much like those of the turnip. The recent
rains caused the pods to open, and fully
one-half of the seed scattered and was
not saved. It was cut with a grain bind
er and threshed with a grain separator
without any difficulty.
The value of this plant to the progress
ive farmer interested In diversified crops
can readily be seen when, it is known that,
On this S6-acre field, -whlrfi m nrram In
June of last year, Mr. Stump has pas-
turea aw nead of sheep till early this
Spring; also many goats and hoga during
the "Winter months. And the seed at the
present market value brings 2 to 6 cents
per pound, or about 53 BO per bushel, mak
ing on the amount saved on this crop $35
per acre.
rh!a Is probably the first crop of rape
.harvested on the Pacific Coast, and the
outcome has been watched with consider
able Interest by agriculturalists from dlf
terents part of the state who have known
that it was being grown here.
James E, Wing, of the Breeders Ga
zette, of Chicago, with Dr. Withycombe,
of tho tSate Agricultural Colin? pt.
ined this crop when it was threshed, and
'both expressed great satisfaction at tho
result of the experiment. Mr. Wing was
here visiting Mr. Stump's .rtock farms,
taking views of the stock and farm
scenes for publication, and was also mak
ing a looklng-up of thoroughbred sheep
and goats, which he says are not excelled
anywhere in the vUnltod States.
TRIALS FOR GRAIX THEFT.
Chief Witness Against One Mnn Is
Already in the Penitentiary.
COL,FAX' Jul' 7--In e Superior Court
this morning on motion of the state's
attorney, an order was Issued to the War
den of the Penitentiary, at Walla Walla,
to deliver the person of W. H. Clifford, a
convict serving sontence there, to tho
custody of the Sheriff of Whitman Coun
ty, to be brought to Colfax as a witness
for the state In the case against Charles
Do France, on a charge of -grand larceny.
Clifford, It Is claimed by the state's at
torneys, will be a very Important witness
a convicting witness, In, fact. Clifford
was agent and manager of the Shawnee
Warehouse Company's business, and as
such agent and manager looted the com
pany, selling grain in store with the ware
house company to the amount of nearly
20,000 bushels. Nearly all this stolen grain
was marketed through the Instrumental
ity of Charles De France, who is himself
accused of having robbed the Shawnee
Warehouse Company.
The De France trial is set for July 9,
and this morning attorneys for the de
fense moved for a change of venue, alleg
ing that the case had been prejudged by
Judge McDonald, and also that prejudice
exists in tho minds of the people to such
an extent that DeFrance could not have
a fair trial here. The prejudice of the
people, as alleged. Is supported by the af
fidavits of a number of persons, among
them being one from George Hazzard,
formerly prominent in the Democratic
party of the state. The state has been
given until Monday to prepare to combat
the motion.
The case of the State vs. Wong Tee,
' charged with the murder of his country
man. Chong OIn, in Colfax. May 27, has
been set for trial on July 16. This is the
case where the Chinese gambler, Chong
OIn. was waylaid and his throat cut, his
bead being nearly severed from the body.
v Dangers of the Summer Resort.
Spokane Spokesman-Review.
Some breaking down of the convention
alities Is expected at the Summer resort,
and therein lies the relief and pleasure of
the outing. It Is well, though, for par
ents to consider that there is a limit,
even at the lakeside or In the mountains,
beyond which lies danger.
It is lamentable that many young
women return from their Summer outing
with greater improvement physically
than In mind and morals. Disregard of
the social restrictions of every-day life
often leads to mild flirtations, and these
sometimes pass on to dangerous Indis
cretions. It Is unfortunate that, as a rule, the
better class of young men cannot enjoy
extensive outings at the Summer resorts.
Having entered upon the severe duties of
llf, rentlon to their employment will
ro permit a Summer's idling. A week or
two of vacation is all that most of them
may hope for. On the other hand, young
men of frivolous Inclinations and de
ficient industry and ambition become
habitues of the Summer resort, and there
the absence of conventionality rives
them recognition and freedom they can
not find in the city. And often they
have the superficial graces which please
young women, and these give them an
influence that Is always Injurious and
sometimes blighting.
Parents should not forget that it is un
wl?e to cast aside the social birriers
which civilization has found essential to
the fair name of womankind. There
should be regard for the laws of chape
ronage at the Summer resort as well as
In tho city. Attention to these social
canons .may save needless grlevlngs.

Hott a "Woman Started the Flourish
ing: Industry in Indianapolis.
Indianapolis News.
"Do you know," said a manufacturer,
"that Indianapolis is the greatest sun
bonnet manufacturing city In the world7"
Tho rise of the sunbonnet as an article
of extensive wholesale manufacture was
accidental and sudden. Ten years ago
there were no manufacturers of sunbon-
nets In this country, as far as known.
Sunbonnets were then and had been in
use for scores of years, especially the old
fashioned Quaker gingham bonnet Each
community furnished Its own supply
every woman made her own bonnet
It had not occurred to any one that
there would be profit In making them by
the dozen, or hundreds of dozens. But
that happy thought came to Mrs. M. L.
Roberts, of West Indianapolis.
A sunbonnct that Mrs. Roberts made
for herself attracted the attention of a
neighbor. It was not elaborate. It was
simply made, but natty, and the tastlness
of It added practically nothing to its cost
Would Mrs. Roberts make one for her?
She would. She did. That started the
trouble. There were other neighbors and
friends. Bonnets had to bo made by the
dozen. Perhaps other women In the city
would be glad to get such bonnets? The
large retail stores were visited and trial
orders were obtained. These orders were
soon duplicated. Perhaps there would bo
a sale of them In Chicago, in Louisville
and St Louis? There was.
Once they were sampled there was too
much of a demand for them. Three or
four days after there had been a ship
ment of 100 dozen would come the order,
"Ship another 100 dozen at once." Mrs.
Roberts had converted sitting-room, dining-room,
bedroom into sewing-rooms,
but the facIUtles wero overtaxed. Part
of the largo barn was remodeled and fit
ted up with sewing machines, cutting ta
bles, etc., but there was no catching up
with orders. The large customers seeing
that the demand could not be supplied in
this way, started to manufacture their
own sunbonnets. Sunbonnets wero not
patented, and there was nothing to pro
hibit anybody from making even Mrs.
Roberts's pattern of them.
As one large factory after another was
started with unlimited capital behind It
Mrs. Roberts saw that It was useless to
try to compete in the making of the pop
ular cheap bonnet and immediately set
to work to manufacture the better and
more expensive kinds and began the mak
ing of sun hats. Competition was headed,
off this time by the securing of a patent
in a simple device which enabled tho hat
and bonnet to be taken apart to be
washed and be easily put together again
and appear as new.
Variable Irrigation Supply.
The report of .the hydrographer on the
flow of the Bolce for the week ending
June 30 is interesting. It shows that the
flow decreased from 4350 second-feet on
June 24 to 2180 on the 30th. On June SO
last year tho flow was 11.IS0 second-feet
more than five times as great as this
year, while the.flow on, the corresponding
day of 1833 was more than twice as great
as this year. The figures serve as a
warning to those using -water that they
must be prepared to husband the supply
wherever there Is any possibility of Its
running short, for the conditions that
govern the flow In tho Boise are operative
throughout the state.

to the editor, with whom I struck up a
friendship that h.as lasted ever since, that
day, and that was in 1872, when I was 18
years old. He played over my pieces and
they sounded beautiful. He was a good

soma kind of a. cabalistic mark on them;

Mr. Sousa shook his head and pressed
his lips 'together. "The world does not
turn back and look for what It has once
passed by. It wants something new".ri
"After awhile I sold my compositions
for what I could get anything from $5
up to $25. The 'Washington Post Mai.ch

BOXER MARSEILLAISE.
"The Churches Stop Heaven" "Let

Tien Tsln, April 30. We are
having a recrudescence of anti-foreign
literature, of which the following are
very good samples. The first of them
Is In rhyme of peculiarly attractive form,
the meter throughout representing two
lines of three characters each, and ono
line of seven characters. This Is partic
ularly easy to memorize. I know some
Chinese Christians whose families can
repeat It by heart after one or two read
ings, and they assure me that it Is a
style of placard which would be univer
sally memorized, whereas, the prose
placards are read, but make no lasting
Impression. I append a literal transla
tion of tho poem, without any attempt at
rhyme, for fear of destroying tho effect
and also I give a samplo of how it runs
in Romanized Chinese:
BOXER FIjACARD.
God assist the Boxers,
The Patriotic Harmonious Corps;
It is because the Foreign Devils disturb the
Middle Kingdom.
Urging the people to Join their religion.
To turn their backs on Heaven;
Venerate not the Gods and forget the Ances
tors. Men violate the human obligations;
Women commit adultery.
-Foreign Devils are not produced by mankind.
If you doubt this.
Look at them carefully;
The eyes of all the Foreign Devils are bluish.
No rain falls.
The earth Is getting dry.
This Is because the Churches step the Heaves.
The Gods are angry.
The Genii are vexed;
Both are como down from the mountains to
deliver the doctrine.
This is not hearsay.
The practice will not be In vein
To recite Incantations tnd pronounce magic
words.
Burn up the yellow written prayers;
Light Incense sticks;
To invite the Gods and Genii of all the grot
toes (Halls).
The Gods will come out of the grottoes.
The Genii will come down from the mountains.
And support the human bodies to practice the
boxing.
When all the military accomplishments or too
tles Are fully learned.
It will not be difficult to determine the "For
eign Devils" then.
Push aside the railway tracks,
Pull out the telegraph poles.
Immediately after this destroy the steamers.
The great France
Will grow cold and downhearted;
The English and Russian will certainly dis
perse. Let the various "Foreign Devils" all be killed.
May the whole elegant Empire of the Great
Chlng dynasty be ever prosperous.

Some weeks ago. says the Cincinnati
Enquirer, a den of foxes was discovered
on tho bank of the Miami River near
Redbank, by three boys, John Bain, Lew
is Shumate and a boy named Lloyd.
Young Lloyd took two of them to his
fatber's place, near Redbank. They were
fastened to a kennel with stout cords at
tached to collars.
Persons In the vicinity frequently heard
the old foxes bark at night, and one
night last week Farmer Lloyd, hearing
a commotion In tho barnyard, went out
and saw the parent foxes scurry away.
He then went to the kennel and found
that the cords which had confined the
young animals had been chewed In twain
and the little ones were missing. It Is
the supposition that the parent animals
released their young and carried them
away in their mouths, as a cat does her
kittens.

It was the morning after one of the

Finally she exclaimed, "Why, Grace

"I did," replied Grace.
"Why, the paper has It that you wore

"I told Charlie that somebody would see

As the blood contains all the elements necessary to sustain life, it Is impor
tant that it be kept free of all impurities, or it becomes a source of disease,
poisoning instead of nourishing the body, and los3 of health is snre to follow.
Some poisons enter the Wood from without, through the skin by absorption, or
inoculation ; others from within, as when waste products accumulate in the
system and ferment, allowing disease germs to develop and be taken into the
circulation. While all blood troubles have one common oririn, each has some
peculiarity to distinguish it from the other. Contagious Blood Poison, Scrofula,
Cancer, Rheumatism, Eczema and other blood diseases can be distinguished by
a certain sore, ulcer, eruption or inflammation appeariner on the skin. Every blood
disease shows sooner or later on the outside and on the weakest part of the body, or where jit finds the least resistance.
'Many mistake the sore or outward sign for the real disease, and attempt a cure by the use of sabres, liniments and othea
external applications. Valuable time is lost and no permanent benefit derived from such treatment.
BLOOD TROUBLES REQU5RE BLOOD REMEDIES; the poison must be completely and perm,

potash and arsenic, the treatment usually prescribed in this class of diseases, are violent poisons, even when taken, in ETnall

PREFERS MOUNTAIN GAME
AUSTRIA'S KAISER FOND OF DEER
AND CHAMOIS HUNTING.,
Fasses'HIs Spare Time Trackinc and
Shooting Bis: Game In Far
Alpine Fastnesses.
Kaiser Franz-Joseph, like so many oth
er monarchs and princes, Js a 'great
sportsman, and finds his chief relaxation
In shooting. From his earliest yc"ars, -says
a writer in the London Telegraph, he has
been especially devoted to mountain sport,
finding a shooting party In the plains but
slow sport, after having tracked his game
in the mountain fastnesses. The emperor
possesses some of the best preserves in
the world, but It is many years since he
has visited them for the purpose of shoot
ing, for he finds the Alpenjagd much
more exciting, and all his spare time is
spent on his beloved mountains.
Early in the Spring, when the snow be
gins to melt on their heights above the J
Austrian plains, the adventurous inhab
itants go out up the mountains (which
are often at that time of the year full
of dangers) to see If they can hear the
first cry of the Auerhahn, so that they
may be able, when the Kaiser comes, to
guide him to a place where he Is certain
to find the birds. The Emperor comes
for his favorite sport as soon as possi
ble to the Semmerlng with his guest3, all
the party In the costume of the country. I

Kaiser Is taken to a likely spot, and early
in the morning the sport begins, for It i3
only in the early morning that it Is pos
sible to shoot the Auerhahn.
Chamois Hunting;.
Later in the year the Emperor Is always
at Ischl, where he has many shooting
boxes on the mountains of the Salzkam
mergutes. These houses are of the very
plainest description, and the only things
In them of any worth are tho antlers and
other trophies of the chase which adorn
the walls. The Emperor starts early In
the morning, and Is rowed over the lake
to the place where he takes his stand
among the rocks, and the chamois are
driven past him. For B0 years his Majes
ty has shot in the mountains, and by his
people ho Is always warmly welcomed
there.
Later the Emperor returns to his shoot
ing box, where luncheon Is served, but
the food, though plentiful. Is plain, and
beer Is the chief drink. The meetings are
always merry, and the Jodllng of the
Jager gives a cheery sound amongst the
mountains, and very often there is mu
sic of zither and hunting song3 are sung
and stories related.
In SeDtember the Kaiser shoots In the
Steycrmark, when the sport Is deer-stalk-lng,
and his Majesty always has a large
party of friends with him. Though at
thl3 time of tho year there is generally
very cold weather and often deep snow In
the mountains, the Emperor is out morn
ings and evenings, and does not seem to
mind the cold In the least He is a thor
ough sportsman, and never shoots any
but the deer of a certain age, and even
when many are standing together, the
Emperor picks out the one who has lived
the longest The Emperor pay3 a last
visit to hi3 beloved Alps In December,
after which the snow makes the sport Im
possible and the game is left in peace,
until the Spring.
A Thorouch Spprtsman.
Kaiser Franz-Joseph is much more of a
sportsman, than the modern man who
shoots, and who only considers the num
ber of head of gamo that he can manage
to flwitrov in a civen time. The Kaiser
enjoya the hardships entailed by his
mountain sport and the difficulties attend
ant on his shooting, and It Is for this
reason, that he doe3 not care for shooting
over his preserves In the plains, and con
fines his attention to the mountains.
He Is an excellent shot, and Is hardly
ever known to miss his aim, and he Is
also merciful, and Is careful to allow no
useless suffering. His ldndnes3 of heart
Is proverbial, and his very love of sport
makes him anxious to see that there is
no unnecessary pain inflicted, and also
that those animals and birds are killed
that are the lawful bag of the huntsman
(Jager).
The Emperor Is often accompanied on
his shooting expeditions by his son-in-law.
Prince Leopold of Bavaria. All the
Bavarian princes are keen sportsmen, and
are used In their own country to mount
ain shooting. It was In 'Bavaria that the
elder sons of the German Emperor were
first initiated Into the mysteries of Alpine
sport and those1 who have once tastea
the Joys of this sport are never likely
to take much Interest in other forms of
the chase.
BEH GARKO ROASTS THATCHER.

Benjamin Garno, the welt-known writer
on billiards, in an article he recently con

of tho late John A. Thatcher, the Western

topics says:
"Aa a player of matches Thatcher was

SOUVENIR OF J. WILKES BOOTH
Lorgnette Given a Senator's Wife by
Lincoln's Assassin.
The daughter of a United States Sen
ator has a lorgnette which was pre
sented to her mother by J. Wilkes Booth
tho night before he killed Lincoln. Tho
story, as printed In the Chicago Tribune,
Is as follows:
Booth rented a room the night befora
the assassination In the Washington
Hotel, where Henry Clay died. The
house was crowded with guests, and the
corridors, after dinner, were filled "with
women of note and beauty. Booth, who
was fond of admiration, commingled with
the assemblage, and was presented to
many. He carried a handsomely mount
ed lorgnette, which a Senator's wife com
plimented. She knew the Booth family,
Edwin Booth having been a guest in her
home. This fact was sufficient warrant
for J. Wilkes Booth to be unusually gra
cious, and when the Senator's wife ad
mired the actor's lorgnette, he begged
the favor of presenting It to her.
The 'fallowing' night occurred the trag
edy. In the preliminary Investigation
which followed, the Senator's wife and
another woman who was with her tho
evening she met Booth were subjected
to a most rigid inquiry as to Booth's
manner. The daugnter of the Senator's
wife, now a prominent society woman,
tells this story in connection with the
investigation:
"My poor mother was questioned and
cross-questioned by a lawyer and a de
tective touching her meeting with Booth.
But she was unable to give them any
Information concerning Booth's manner,
except that he was gallant Hard as
they tried to learn anything from her,
she could remember nothing showing that
Booth contemplated crime nothing in
dicating that he ever thought of such
a thing. He was In a Jovial mood, and
spoke of some future events with con
fidence. "I do not think my mother ever quite
recovered from the effects of the Incident
She kept the lorgnette for some years,
never using It, however, and nnany she
presented It to me. "I am not supersti
tious, but I have never yet tried to use
this lorgnette that something unusual did
pot occur. Tho first night I carried it
my horse had an accident which made
us late In arriving at the theater, and
when we got there we found the play
postponed. Once it was misplaced, and
suddenly turned up. On another occasion
it was loaned to a friend, wbo was
taken 111 in her box and nearly died be
fore she got home. I still have It but
I have never used it although I mean
to some day."
