FARMERS WILL MEET.

SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR NATIONAL CONGRESS. Will Convene In Parkersbnrg. W. Vt., in October Delegates from Twenty-one Different States—Baa No Political Platform and Is Not a Party. Has Great Influence. The Farmers’ National Congress will meet in Parkersburg, \V. Va., Oct. 3, 4,5, and 6 next. Special rates are made by the railways and the hotels. At the annual meetings a wide variety o! subjects is discussed by speakers from all parts of the country, and at the coming meeting addresses will be made by delegates frem twenty-one different Seates. More than thirtyfive States have been lepresented at each of the last five meetings of the congress. The congress met in 1869 at Montgomery, Ala., in 1890 at Council Bluffs, Iowa: in 1891 at Scdalia, Mo.; in 1892 at Lincoln, Neb.; and in 1893 at Savannah, Ga. The congress is composed of one delegate from each Congressional district and two at large from each State, appointed for two years by the Governors of the several States, and one delegate from each State Agricultural College, and one from eacu State Board of Agriculture. Delegates lrom one-half the States are appointed each year. The congress meets in annual session lasting rour days, and has an executive committee, kntwn as the National Board of Agricilture. Th s Board is composed oi one memter from each State and Territory. The Congress has no political platform and does not seek to form a political party. Its delegates come, not as politicians, but as farmers. This is one rea-son why the l armers’ Nati nal Congress is not so well known as the Alliance or Grange. The annual meetings are attended by hundreds of farmers not delegates. These meetings are not unlike the meetings of a national farmers’ institute. The range of subjects is wide and the speakers are from every section of the country. Those who are to deliver addresses at the Parkersburg meeting are from the following States —we give them in the order in which they appear on the official program: District of Columbia, Nebraska, New York, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Kansas, Georgia, California, Ohio, Texas, Michigan, North Carolina, lowa, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Maine, West Virginia, Alabama, Indiana, Missouri, Connecticut. Tho addresses are limited strictly to twenty minutes each. Several of tho speakers are women. Many of the delegates bring their wives and daughters. The officers elected at the ast meeting for the ensuing two years are: Pre ident, Hon. B. F. Clayton, Indianola, Iowa: Vice President, Maj. G. M. Ryals, Savannah. Ga.; Secretary, Hon. John M. Stahl, Quincy, Ill.: First Assistant, Col. W. G. Whidby, Atlanta, Ga.; Second Assistant, tapt. T. J. Appleyard, Sanford, Fla.; Treasurer, Hon. Henry Hayden, Indianola, lowa. The Farmers’ National Congress is working for rural free mail delivery, legislation against adulteration, measures to stamp out infectious live stock diseases, the enlargement of the work of the weather bureau, rural telephone lines, good roads at bearable cost, fuller agricultural statistics and reliable crop estimates, better supported and managed experiment stations, tho rational systematic improvement of waterways, and legislation affecting railways that, while preventing abuses, recognizes that the interests of farmers and of railways are closely rented and interdependent. As each delegate is a man of prominence and influence, known to the Congres man from his district and the Senators from his State, the national legislature usually grants what the Congre s re uests. And tho character of those prominent in it is a guarantee that it will be kept up to its present high position.

WORST DROUGHT IN YEARS.

RAKING UP GRASSHOPPERS FOR MANURE.

serious features of the drought is the grasshopper pest. Grasshoppers have stripped the pastures and meadows and are now attacking the tops of potatoes and even the grape vines. The number of the insects is almost incredible. When the farmers go into the field s to destroy them they are compelled to wear masks. Some farmers take a and plow and try to bury them. Grasshoppers are an excellent fertilizer. One ingenious farmer converts his horse rake into a net and rakes hoppers by the s-tack at the edge of a pond. Then he scoops them into the pond and makes compo;t heaps of the drowned bu-;S. Ho has made fifty loads of this kind of fertilizer. Milch cows are being sold lor a song because fodder is so scarce. Hay fields lie burned and blackened, cropi have been destroyed and even trees are short of foliage. In several cities a water famine is feared and the greatest economy in the use of water has been ordered. Because water for sprinkling is denied many lawns are being ruined.

STARTLING FIGURES.

Twenty Per Cent, of America’s Corn Hag Been Cut Up for Fodder. The report of the statistician of the agricultural department for September shows a falling off in the condition of corn to 63.4. This is a decline of 5.7 points from the August and 31.6 from the July condition. The change is marked in nearly all the great corn States. The present condition is 75 in Kentucky, .0 in Ohio, 55 in Michigan, SO in Indiana, and 75 in Illinois, 51 in Wisconsin, 60 in Minnesota, 40 in lowa. 50 in Missouri, 45 in Kansas, 15 in Nebraska and 16 in South Dakota. In most of the Southern States the condition has risen and a good crop is certain. In addition to the unfavorable prospects arising from the low condition of growing crop reports from eight States, show of an aggregate of 40,87'.934 acres planted there has been cut up for fodder, or abandoned. 16,506,000 acres, or 38 per cent., which is a little over 20 per cent, of the entire area plantod in the country. The percentage cut up or abandoned by the States reporting is as follows: Indiana .08, Illinois 10, Wisconsin 21, lowa 35, Kansas 51, Missouri J 6, Nebraska 81, South Dakota 81. The condition of wheat, considering both winter and spring varieties, hwen

harvested is 88.7 against 74 last year and 85.3 in 1892. The reported condition for the principal wheat growing States is follows: Ohio ltfc. Michigan 91, Indiana 103, Illinois 101, Wisconsin 92, Minnesota t 5, lowa 92, Missouri 91, Kansas 58, Nebraska 40, South Dakota 32, North Dakota 54, California 88, Oregon 88, Washington 67. In the East, New York 86. Pennsylvania 91. Marylaud 9-, Virginia reports 78, Tennessee 78, West Virginia 93. Kentucky 92. Texas In the principle wheat St ites there is considerable improvement in conditions, the crop being fully up to expectations, and in other parts the yield has exceeded exfec-taticns. The average condition of cats is reported at 71.8 against 76.5 in August, 77.7 in July, and 87 June 1.

GUBERNATORIAL WINNERS.

Governor Cleave* of Maine, and General Clark of Arkansas. Governor H. B. Cleavea, of Mainja, re - eleected by the Republicans, was born in Bridgeton silty-three

years ago. He was educated in the public schools and at the Bridgeton Academy. He worked on the farm and as a lumberman, and in 1862 enlisted as a private in Company B of the Twanty-thira Maine Volunteers. At the_ expiration of his term' of enlistment he reenlisted in the Thirtieth Maine Veteran Volunteers, and a few

months later was commissioned First Lieutenant of Company F. He was mustered out of service at the close of the war, having won the reputation of being a brave officer. He returned to his native State, studied law and has since practiced his profession. In 1875 and To he was a meinbor of the Legislature, and for two years thereafter was City Solicitor of Portland. From 1880 to 1885 Mr. Cleaves served the State as Att irney General. The Governor is unmarried. . General James I’.

He is the ideal Southern gentleman, firm, deeded, aggressive and indomitable, and as a result of the three qualities, perhaps, uniformly successful He already aspires to the seat in tho United States Senate now held by Senator Jones, whose term expires in it 97. Dnring the preliminary canvass, Mr. Clarke declared that he could beat any man in Arkansas for governor and he entered upon an exceedingly vigorous campaign to prove the soundness of this statement. The Democrats elected their enlire State ticket, and Clark, for govern r, had nearly 20,000 majority.

Senator Jones, of Nevada, Hai Served as a Republican Since 1873. John P. Jones, of Nevada, who has left the ranks of the Republican party for the Populists, has eerved in the

United States Senato as a Republics n since 1878. Senator Jones was tnrn in Herefordshire, England, I in 18 30, but was brought to the United States before he was a year old. He fi was educated in Ohio J and in the early parts* of the Galiforn.a ex-ra citement he went to® that State and en- 2 gaged in mining. I bub equentlv be be-

He took h s seat in the United States Senate March 4, 1873. His present Jterm does not expire until 18)7. In 1892 he had served in the Brussels Conference as a United States delegate under the appointment of President Harrison. Senator Jones’ conversion to J 'opulism is formally admitted in a letter to Enoch Strother, chairman of the Republican State Central Committe • of Nevada.

The Centennial of the Silver Dollar.

The silver dollar of Uncle Sam will celebrate the centennial anniversary of its birthday on Oct. 15 next. On July 18, 1794, the Bank of Maryland deposited at the Philade phia mint French coins of the value of $80,715 for coinage into silver dollars under the act of 1785. Tpe first lot of the finished coins was delivered on Oct. 15, 1794. There were 1,758 of them in all, and they were the precursors, the first waves of the vast fiocdtide of silver dollars that has poured out upon the country during the one hundred years that have elapsed. State Treasurer I. v. Stephens of Missouri is made defendant in a suit filed by W. H. Stevenson, who says he gave SIO,OOO to Stephens to pay off a mortgage and he failed to do so. He also tays Stephens failed to return the money. Seven thousand visitors aided the people of Grand Junction, Colo., to celebrate peach day. Specimens of astonishing size were exhibited.

FOILED THE ROBBERS

FUTILE ATTEMPT TO HOLD UP A SANTA FE TRAIN. Railroad Officials Received Warning: in Time of a Proposed Attempt to Loot an Express Near Gorin, Mo,, and Armed Detectives Were Ready. Bullets Meet the Rohbtors. Train robbers in Missouri ire: e given a backset early Tuesday morning which they will never forget as long as they breathe. It was the neatest job ever done in the whole history of Missouri banditry, and it was all planned more than three weeks ago. The' attack wai made by a band of four masked men on the Denver express of the Santa Fe, carrying an express car with considerable money in it The train was flagged about three-quarters of a mile east of Go. in, a little town in the northern part of Missouri, and before the robbers had time to board it a volley from ten Winchester rifles belched out flame and lead into their very faces. Panic-stricken, the robbers flea to tho woods, with a posse of Sheriff's men and rai road detectives in hot pursuit The story of tho robbery and tho clever way in which it was balked reads like a romance. Three weeks ago, then, the officials of the road i eeeived word that the Denver express was to ho held up and at once began preparations to give the robbers a warm reception. The express train is the finest and fastest train that runs on the road of tho Santa Fe. It leaves Chicago every afternoon at 5 o clock and travels like the wind after it gets out into the open. It carries the Wells-Fargo express car to the West and this car is always loaded with treasure. Being in f 11 possession of the plans of the robbers, tho officials were in readiness to greet any demonstration of lawlessness with a shower of lead. Eight armed deputies, together with Sheriff Saling of Scotland County and City Marshal Byrnes of Memphis, Mo., were stationed on the train to welcome the bandits. Engineer Prescott was instructed to stop the train as soon as it was flagged, hut, unfortunately for.him, he did not act quickly enough to suit the robbers, one oi whom shot him, the ball striking him in tho shoulder and producing a severe wound, which, however, will not prove dangerous. At this juncture the Sheriff and deputies opened lire, and the robbers beat a haity retreat, breaking for the woods, where their horses were tied. All the while tho officers were shooting at the fleeing men, but only one shot took effect and this did no better than to wound onj of the men. A gray horse was killed and another was captured, while the four men *et off on the other two animals, ’ollovved by the posse.

SLAUGHTERED BY JAPS.

Sixteen Thousand Chinese Soldiers Killed or Wounded In Hattie. Details of the battle between the Chinese and Ja; anese forces at Ping Yang show a decisfve victory for tho .laps and the utter rout ot the Chinese. The battle was opened at daybreak by a Japanese cannonade of the Chinese works, which was continued without cessation until afternoon, the Chinese responding. The work with the heavy guns showed good practice. Tnc firing continued at intervals during the night, and in the meantime two Japanese flanking columns had formed a cordon around tho Chinese. At 3 o’clo. k Sunday morning an attack was made by the .lapanose columns simultaneously and with admirable precision. The Chinese were completely taken by surprise an! were thrown into a panic. Hundreds were cut down and those who escap d death, finding thomselves surrounded at every point, broke and fled. Some of Viceroy Li Hung Chang’s European-drilled troops stood their ground to the eastward and were cut down to a man. Tho Pong San column, swarming over the defenses in front, completed the rout. Half an hour after the attack was opened the positions at Ping l ang were in possession of tho .lapaneso. It is estimate! that 20,000 Chinese soldiers were engaged in tho batt e. The Japanese captured immense stores of provisions, munitions of war, and hundreds of calbcs. The Chinese loss is estimated at b ,000 killed, wounded, and taken prisonors. Among those captured by the Japanese are several of the Chinese commanding officers, including Tso-Fung, commander-in-chief of the Manchurian army, wht was severely wounded. The Japanese loss is only thirty killed and 270 wounded, including eleven officers. Mo3t of tho casualties among the Japanese occurred during the first day’s fighting, and very few were the result of tho night attack.

SLICES OFF A SECOND.

World'* Record* Smashed on the Hoosier

Track. World s records went a glimmering over the Terre Haute track, which holds -all but two of the fa test three heat 3 ever paced and fastest two-vear-old pacing record. The exc.te’ment was at fever heat when the starter announced that Robert J. wou d go to beat his own record, 2:024. Geers was u i behind the pacer and at the second trial the word was given. The clip was so fast that the pacemaker fell behind, the first quarter being done in 301 seconds. Up then he went at even a faster gait and he was at tho half stretch in l:ooS. Down the third quarter unbeaten the gelding came like a whirlwind, and he was at the pole in 1:30*. It was almost impossible to restrain the pent-up enthusiasm. With two or three gentle 1 fts Robert J. passed under the wire in 2:014 and pandemonium broke loose. Men shouted themselves hearse, and women waved handkerchiefs and parasoh. There were cheers for the hone, fer the rider, and for his owner, Hamlin. Geers was lifted from the sulky and carried up the stretoh on the shoulders of his admiring f,r.ends. In the free-for-all pace, John R. Gentry broke the stallion pacing record, doing a mile in 2:037. There was great disappointment over the failure of Alix to lower her record of 2:04. She failed to do'-so by a half a second. Carbonate beat the two-vear-old record. covering the distance in 2:09. Jf e Patchen endeavored to beat the stallion record of 2:03t but the best he did was 2:04. Directly tr ed to lower the two-year-old pae ng record, but only did 2:10.

FROSTS ARE NOW FEARED.

Recent Rain* Improve Corn end Revive Future* in Many Section*. Tta# reoent rains have benefited late corn in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Illinois, Missouri and Kansas, but were too late to be of benefit to early corn. In Wisconsin, Minnesota and lowa the greater part of the crop has been cut. North Dakota reports corn free from danger from frost, apd .n Illinois much will be beyond danger in from ten to fourteen days. In Mississippi much injury has resulted to corn from heavy rains, while hot winds and dry weather have proved injurious in Kentucky. The week has been favorable for cotton in the Carolines, Tennesses and Texas and the crop is slowly improving in Georgia, but heavy rains have proved injurious in Florida, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Picking has been interrupted by rains in Alabama, Mississippi, and Texas. Louisiana reports t-hedding general and prospects less favorable than last week. The tobacco crop is practically secured in New York and Pennsylvania, and is bei: g saved in good condition in Maryland. Cutting is progressing slowly in Kentucky, where the crop has suffered from hot and dry weather. Plowing for fall seeding, which has been greatly delayed on account of drought, has progressed rapidly in those States where good rains have fallen. Frost caused some damage in New England. Frosts also caused damage in Idaho and Montana. Killing frosts have visited Minnesota. Reports as to the condition of crops made by the dilectors of the different State weather services of the United States weather bureau are as follows: Illinois— i'emporature above normal sunshine below aud rainfall above. Ratufall well distributed and unusually heavy In northeast counties. Corn Improving and much will he beyond dunger from frost In ten to fourteen days Ground In excellent condition; some rye up aud looking well. Indiana—Good rains, especially In northern portion, revived pasture* and put soil In good condition for plowing. Corn maturing fast: some safe from frost and much In shock.

LANDSLIDE IN MAINE.

Pine Tree State Gives a Republican Majority of Fully 37,000. Returns from tho Maine elections show that tho estimated majority of ;i7,000 for Cloavos and tho other‘Republican candidates was not exaggerated. Tho Republicans carried both branches of tho Legislature, electing a solid Senate, which two yea s ago stood thirty Republicans and one Democrat. A Washington dispatch says that tho overwhelming Republican victory was a surprise to everybody. Tho Democrats expected the State to go Republican by about 20,000, but even the Republicans did not look for such an unparalleled victory. Tho Democratic managers say, however, the effect will, in tne end, bo of groat advantage to the Democrats in the approaching eloction. It will serve to stimulate thorn to groator energy ior tho final struggle. The oariy election in the State of Maine has always had a marked effect on the general result. J awronco Gardner says: “I think that tho eloction in Maine of a Democratic Governor in 1881) defeated Hancock for President. Tho Republicans were aroused to a sense of a sense of tho danger thut confronted them, and from that day forward internal differences wore remedied, and the action of tho party was harmonious. ” The Republicans regard the result as the biggost victory they have achieved since the birth of the Ropub lican party. The total vote for Governor, which two years ago was 1.'10,000, is reduced by In,ooo or 20,00!), but Republicans claim that Cleaves’ vote will reach noarly 70,0 H).

PRESIDES OVER LAWYERS.

Jams* G. Carter Elected President of the American Bar Association. At the recent meeting of the American Bar Association at Saratoga. Jame 3 C. Carter, of New York, was

elected president. Mr. Carter is one of the most eminent members of the bar in the metropolis. He was born in Lancaster, Pa., in His preparatory education he received at the Derby Academy. ■ Hingham, Mass., and immediately after graduation entered the Harvard Law School. In 1853 he was admitted to the

bar, and he is recognized everywhere as one of America's greatest lawyers. As counsel of the United States before the Behring Sea arbitration tribunal at Paris his success was the crowning effort of his many brilliant achievements. He has always taken an active interest in politics. Frank Dalton shot and fatally wounded James Risdon near Rockford, Mo., during a quarrel over a young woman, who was engaged to both young men. Dalton escaped and has not been arrested. Ip we would be truly Christ’s disciples we must abide in his word.

The young man had just been admitted to practioe at the bar. He sat within the bar Inolosure, speculating upon the chances of clients coming to him, by mistake or otherwise. He heard his name spoken, and started to his feet “Mr. De Novo, the prisoner at the bar is unable to employ counsel. Will you defend him)'* “Certainly, your honor. May I retire with him for a few moments’ consultation?" “Yes; and give him your best advice. " A hardly perceptible sneer curled his honor’s lips as he utte e 1 these last words, but the young man did not appear to notice it Motioning for the prisoner to follow him, he pass d into the other room. The door was closed, and for ten minutes the lively clatter of many conversations filled the courtroom. Then the young man sti oiled into the room and dropped into a chair. Tho crier proclaimed, “Silence in the court-room.” His honor gazed upon the young man and said: “"Are you ready to prooeed?” “Yes, your honor.” Dr. “Where is the prisoner?” “I really don’t know.” “What:” “I’m sure I don’t'know. " “Mr. De Novo, will you explain what you moan by this most extraordinary oonduct?” “Your honor told me to givo him the best advice I oould, I believe?” "Yes, sir.” ‘May it please the oourt, whonl consulted him I found ho was guilty, and had roally no defense whatever. So, in pursuance of your honor's so kindly meant suggestion, I advised him to drop out of the window and make himself as scarce as possible. 1 presume, in faot I know, that he , toll* wod tho first part qf my advire, and I boliove ho will a’so,observe the rest of it.”

In a certain part of Poland It Is tho custom for people to marry whon very young. A Yankee who had visited that country was giving his Impressions in a manner characteristic of his kind.
