Secretary Morton, according to a Washington correspondent, since his return from the West has urged'' upon Secretary Carlisle the expediency of selling a lot of our store of pig silver for what be can get for it, and turning the proceeds into the treasury. Mr. Carlisle responds that there is no law under which he could make such sales. It ba) been suggested, therefore, that he treat the stuff as other worthless and cumbersome truck is treated in the departments appoint a board to inspect and condemn it as no longer of use to the Government and then call in the auctioneer. ' Th Cblaeh Bog Doing Destructive Work. Wichita (Kas. ) Special: Some of the best informed wheat growers of this secticn, who nave been over this and neighboring counties making a close Inspection of large fields of wheat already cut and in process of harvesting, state that the reports of good yields were quite unreliable and that field after field wonld not run over three bushels to the acre. The crop, they say. was prematurely ripened by the ravages of chinch bigs. Since the wheat cutting commenced the bags have gone to the corn, and they promise to play havoc with that crop. Indiana Bridge Goes Down. The iron bridge, a mammoth doublespan structure across the Beck River at Crawtordsvllle sank beneath the weight of a heavy log wagon driven by William Thompson. The whole outfit was precipitated into the river, thirty teet below. Thompson jumped and managed to make the shore, but the togs fell on the team, crushing and pinning them to the bed of the river. The bridge was erected several years ago at a cost of 130,000 and Is a complete wreck. A Kiln Blown Ua by Gas. John Arnold, proprietor of a tile kiln, live miles southwest of Wabash, Inl, attempted to start the fire in the kiln by throwing a piece of lighted paper into the furnace before turning on the natural gas. The evening before, however, he had not closed the valves tightly and the accumulated gas exploded with a terrific report, hurling him violently backward and tearing the kiln to atoms. Ur. Arnold was not injured. Typos Beet U meets. The International Typographical Union in session at Chicago, elected the following officers: President, W. B. Prescott, Toronto. Canada; Vice President, J.

VIKING SHIP ARRIVES.

Che Bade Craft Is Spoken On the Coast of "nassaehusetta. All doubt of the coming of (be viking ship, destined to be such a great attraction at the World's Fair, has been set at rest by the "speaking" of the ship near Boston Mbn day. The trip across the water was tenv peatuous. &uu reports that reached America from time to time were so disheartening that hope gave way to despair la the minds of those most eager to see, as a part of the TOT VIKING SHir. World's Fair exhibit, the rude craft In which the hardy Norsemen sailed away upon trackless seas, and. It Is claimed were first to touch the shores of that land which does not bear the name of Its accredited discoverer. The real Viking ship, the one whose remains were lately unearthed In Norway, Is not the one that Is headed toward Chicago; a faithful repro duction of the original, carrying the un earthed implements of war used by tbe Norsemen, Is what the World's Fair visitors will see, AISSWORTH IN DANGER. Government Employes Bent on Lynching Their Superior Officer, A thrilling sequel to the Ford Theater annuity was enacted late Monday after noon, when, for a time. It looked thonxh an Indignant and angry mob would seize Colonel Fred erick C. Alnsworth of the United States army and hang him to the near est lamp-post. The brothers, fathers, sons. and other relatives and friends of those recently sacrificed in the Government death-trap were the ones who clamored for Alnsworth's life. If it had not been for the self-possession and daring of one of the jurors, Mr. B. H. Warner, one of the most substantial citizens of Wash ington, there Is little dout-tbat the rela tives of the deaf clerks would have lynched tlM. The clerks consider that. In his capacity of officer In charge, by Ig noring the dangerous character of the building, CoL Alnsworth is responsible for the calamity, and that by his presence at tbe Inquest he sought to Intimidate witwhose testimony would be Inimical lo him.

Anson, the 6s se-ball magnate of Chicago, to a Washington correspondent, no other game will ever dlsp'ace baseball with the American public. True, there is no limit to human invention, and a brand-new game misfit tie originated that would catch the short lived fancy of the masses, out such a 'result is very Im probable. Base-ball is perennially popular. For a brief season interest in It CAPT. AHSOBt, may wane in the Eart, but simultaneously It will freshen In Umi West, and vice versa. Just now there Is it general revival of Interest In ball ail ovnr the country, and I think next year will be an improvement over 1893. Appointments by the President.

They had him already haniilng to a tree w hen his brother, with a rifle, shot at the c-o-d, and the whltecaps dispersed. Bore of Gatllng- Guns. There is a probability that the born of the navy Gatling guns will be changed. To be of tbe greatest service, tho Gatling guns used in naval warfare must be fitted to use the ammunition manufactured for the small arms issued to the sailors The ad aption of the small caliber for the new airay rifle Is to be followed up by the navy, and that In turn will necessitate the reduction of tbe bore of tho Gatling guns from 45caliber to 32-callber. Already the Crdance Bureau is preparing for the change. Big; Shipment of Immigrants.

HONORS TO THE FLAG

THE ANNIVERSARY OF "OLD GLORY'S" ADOPTION. A Million Children Celebrate the Natal Day of the Stars and Stripes why the Present Flag Was Chosen lor Our Em blent. Story of the Htars nnd Stripes, In fully ono-hulf of the public schools oi tne country tho anniversary of Xho adoption of the United States flag wud this year observed. On Juno 14, 1777, tho stars and stripes were accepted by Congress as tho ilur of tho United States. It Is probable that the stripes wore onosen through innuenco of the Dutch in New York, as thov wore char acteristic of the Dutch Republic of the jvetnerianus. ino mini nor 13 is symbolic of tho oriffinal number of Rtntna Contrasting colors, white with either DHCLK SAM'S FIItBT FLAG (Union bluo l'old wltb white stars.) blue or rod, were necessary for the colors oi trio stripes, and rod was preferred to bluo, as it was more distinct at a distance, for which reason red was chosen as tho color of tho top most stripe and consequently. ' h lowermost also. S. .on stripes are red and si:; ire white. The nrst and thir teenth stripes, both red, represent New Hampshire and Georgia, Georgia's stripe. However, is considerably loncer than New Hampshire's, as it runs the run ioncth or the l'.air, wmio JXew Hampshire's begins at the outer border of the union. The blue field was allogorically said to represent tho night of sanction then shrouding the nation relieved by thirteen stars of hope. In the first flag the stars were arranged as the circumference of a circle, to typify tho endless duration of the new nation. Ihe union wns made snuarc and was brought down to the eighth stripe that its bluo might show against the contrasting white of that strlpo. The flag as accepted Juno 14. 1777 was first flown on land durimr the cam paign resulting in the capture of Phila delphia by Howe a short time after. From that timo it was the recognized ensign of the Republic until Mav 1 1 ilia. Tbe numbor of stars and that of stripes wore each increased on that date to fifteen, Senator Bradley, of the new State of Vermont, having brought about this change. The two additional stripes were emblematic of Vermont and Kentucky. The enlarged flag wa: the one which so often floated victo riously on the high seas from the frigft "union" or oun pretext v. s. ri.Au. atos of Hull and Stewart in tho war of 1812. A new flag was ordered in a bill signed April 14, 1818, by President Monroe. This bill made the number of stripes thirteen for all time, and ordered a star for each new State, th same to be added to tho flag on the Fourth of July next following the State's admission to tho Union. This way of making the flag still holds to day. The present flag has forty-four stars in the union, tho admission of North and South Dakota. Montana, Washington, Idaho and Wyoming having so far increased tho number. FAVORABLE TO THE FARMERS. Bulletins from Various States Shaw that Crops Are Promising. The warm weather of the last week in the Northwest has been favorable to all crops, which, although late, are re ported as improving and growing rapidly. Generally the weather during the week has boon favorable, and a number of States report it the most favorable week of the season. Farmers aro more hopeful in tho west portion of the cotton region and in the South At lantic Sttites. Special telegraphic bulletins received by tho Agricultural Bu'eau at Washington are as toiiows: Missouri Most favorable woek of the sea son; work progressing finely, and crop outlook lnv nproving ( Illinois I dally. Conditions unusnallv favorable for tlte growth of vegetation and farm work; I wanting ana cultivation or corn protrresmg: lay making in southern portions; pastures In some localities seriously damaged by wonni.

Kansas General conditions verv favorable to all crops, which hare greatly Improved; wheat harvest has begun In extreme southern portion. Iowa Corn, good stand and generally oiean; oats will be better crop than last year. Nebraska Kmall grain oontinue to improve, but does not promise more than a half crop: corn has made very rapid growth, and is in excellent condition. California Hay-bailing and barley-harvesting begun; cherry crop averages well; hops, ex tra gooa prospects ana improving rauiuiy. Winter Wheat, Hay, Potatoes. The Farmers' Review has received reports from its correspondents in twelve States regarding the condition of winter wheat, hay and M)tntnes. Winter Wheat. The condition of winter wheat has Improved greatly In tbe last few Havm li,,t. will full fur ulinrt. nt a tmn.t imn in Illinois the improvement i very noticeable, but so much of tho area of wheat hss been destroyed that some counties will get little benefit from the improvement. Kome correspond ents report that nine-tenth of the wheat acreage in their localities has been al andoued. Tho ravages of the army worm are very noticoable. The Improvement hss continued in Indiana and Ohio. In the latter mate the outlook is aood. Little change Is seen in the con dition of wheat in Michigan, in Missouri, Kansas and Kobraslf a conditions are still adverse. Iowa and Wisconsin promiHe a comparatively good yleUL Hat. In Illinois the hay crop generally promises well, hut in many couutleH tho army worms arc devouring the meadowH, and the farmers arc anticipating great Iokh from this cause. In Indiana the prospects vary from fair to good, and the outlook in Ohio is still better. Michigan and KemiH'ky promise heavy hay crops. In Missouri thv condition varieH greatly. Moat of the correHpundentH report the outlook as being very good, hut some correHpondetitH report the meadow ax nearly ruined by the army worm. Drouth lias hurt the prospocts. In Nebraska the outlook is better, but not entirely satisfactory. In Iowa, Wisconsin. Minnesota and the I)akotas the hav crop will ho very heavy. Potatoes. The ontlnok for the potato crop in Illinois Is generally fair. In most Meet ions conditions are favorable, while in a few localities tbe ground has been bo wet that nimrh of tbe need has rotted. The ontlo.ik in the other States is good, with the exception of Kansas. THE ARMY WORM. Growing Crops Attacked and llestroyed by tho Countless Hosts. The army worm has nuulu its uppearanoo for the fiit tiiix; siu i 187." in largo numbers nnd riumugimr force I iu Southern Illinois, and t ntiguous I territory of Indiana and Mlnuoui'l.

Special reports in the Globo-Demc-crat give some idea of the ravaged of this

repulsive post. All of Southern lllinoi--. especially the low lands, is now a net work ditches, dug around the growing fields as a means oi checking the invasion and hogs, chickens, turkeys, crows um black birds are in tho full euiorment of a feast that does not often fall to their lot. Tho damage that must bo done before this mysteriously arriving pest disappears, as suddenly and, to the non-scientific mind, as mirucuouslv will bo enormous. This great de stroyer of wheat and corn is known to naturalists as Loucunia unipunota. In habits havo been of late years a source of profound and earnest study by tho entomologists of various States and of the Government Bureau, While there have been years known as "army worm years," on account of the serious damage to and sometimes complete annihilation of the crops, sci ence has determined that, as a matter of fact, no year passes that they do not appear in some locality or another. It is established that the oiri? of the armv worm hatches early in May in tho latituae ot tjoutnern Illinois, ana the young worms mav feed by millions in a mead ow and never be noticed; but when thev havo become nearly full grown and have stripped bare tlie fields In which they aro born, they aro forced to travel for food, and then thev uttract gen eral attention. A curious instinct leads them to travel in vast armies, and. as they are exceedingly voracious. devouring more during the last three or four days of their worm life than they had done during the whole of their preceding existence, thev aro apt to strip the leaves from every blado of grass or grain on their way. It is significant that all tho great armv worm years have been wot, with the preceding year unusually dry. Tho army worm egg is deposited by tho parent moth at the base of perennial grass gtalKs. J he egg hatches in ten THE ARMY Wdntl. , Male moth: b, abdomen of female; a. pupa; e, catteplller.J to fourteen days. When full fed the worm, which lives generally about four weeks after hatching, descends into the round, where it forms an oval cliamer and changes to a slunv. mahogany colored chrysalis.
