Tlio United States covernmcut is

Totlny n carload of penrs started

of tho car, which will show exactly
nnd at nil times the exact tempera

Heretofore experiments hno been
mndo only with the condition of the
atmosphere outside of the box. The
latter resulted in some uod to in-
veMigntini; officials of tho depart

rancement will likely result in the
revolution of shippinc methods. With

The government is makine this in

car, nnd its affiliated organization,
the llogiio Itivor Fruit & Produce as
sociation. Tho cnrload of pears was
selected for its exceedingly cood
quality, therefore, tho result of the
investigation will bo nwnited with
much interest by tho fruit trade of
tho country generally.

that recent threatened reduction in

have mndo investors chary of buy

"QUO VADIS" SHOWS TO
LARGE-SIZED HOUSES
ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 22. Ltttlo
Old St. Louis today is engulfed to
neck iu a wave of modesty. Ordered
to display no paintings, pictures or
statues In tho nudo, proprietors and
manager of cafes and restaurants
havo dressed them, and wlord sights
meet tho cyo of tbo patron of theso
places.
In ono down town cafo Venus
'wears a pair of diaphanous trouscr-ett.-s,
and tho Lady with Gooso Is
garbed In a slit skirt, tho silt ex
tending icrilously closo to tho Lady's
neck. In nnothor cafo whero tbo
proprietor boasted a really hand
souio group depicting Tan piping to
a bovy of "altogether" woodlaud
nymphs, Pan has been forced to don
a specially anado pair of overalls and
tho girls nro dressed up In pajamas,
nighties and mother hubbards. "Tho
Sleeping Hcauty," who has for years
reposeful!)' slumbered on a slab In
another cafo unclothed, now wears a
mndo-to-ordcr policeman's uniform.
Tho -proprietor said ho could think of
no tuoro fitting garb for a sleeping
figure
Still another cafo manager In whoso
placo was a bronro flguro taken from
tho now famous 'Soptcmbor Morn,"
has, dressed tho flguro up In a short
ivhlto linen garment that comes In
pairs. A statute of Dachanto, tho
orlglnnl of which was refused by tho
Puritanically Inclined of Boston, and
now disports herself In tbo Metro
politan of Now York, now wears n

goggles and veil. Tho Infant she

bo Instituted within ono year after
tho date of approval of this act."
This clause In tho "Innocent pur
chasers" resolution of congress, that
becamo a law August 20, last year,
hrings happiness today to thousands
of . tilers nud laud owners of tho
Koruo rhcr volley, for It means that
the government henceforth shall start
no more suits to derlnro forfolturo
of lands Involved In tho Oregon and
California land grant litigation.
With today, theso land owners
co mo Into absolute possession of their I
lands. Until today this land title has
been shaky. Tlio original right to
ownership of tho railroad company
jhas heen involved. Vast tracts havo
i been declared forfeited in tho past
)oar. Tho thousands of settlers who
had purchased small tracts, and In
many cases developed productive and
profitable ranch's from them havo
felt uneasy all along that tbo gov
ernment might bring suit to have
their lands declared forfeited also.
Hut with this statute of limitation
taking effect today, theso titles be
come absolutely cl?ar.
Tho government suits in theso "in
nocent purchaser" cases, 40'of which
havo already been forfeited under tho
terms of tho statute, wero instituted
ngalnst those purchasers who bad ac
quired 1000 acres or moro of tho
grant lands from the railroad com
pany. iXot all who bought tracts of
tho dimensions named havo been
prosecuted.
Tho suits wero directed against
theso prlvato owners nnd corporations
which wero cutlng tho timber or
othcrwhso using tho lands for their
own personal profit. Several of'
these suits nro still pending. Thoso1
that havo already been forfeited,
wero taken over by tho government
with tho understanding that tho for-j
