Tumbling Mustard a Pest. American farmers may Ih> confronted With anoiher troublesome weed somewhat similar to the Russian thistle in its destructive ex tert unless immediate steps arc taken to cheek the further progress of tumbling m. stard. Tumbling mustard has been most obnoxious in the Canadian Northwest provinces during the last five yeais. ami recently has Uva reported from nine dittcrent localities in the United Suites. So far the weed has been wntioed to a small area in this country. It is especially likely to In* contained in timothy sc;m!, a large proportion of which is grown in tin- Si.nn Vat ley of the eastern part of South Dakota. The weid has not yet infested this va! ley. but the statement is made that if it should spread in these tields for two consecutive years it would pndsibly ruin the timothy-s^vd industry of the entit" section. United Stat h XV bent Export*. Statistician Eord. of the Treasury Department, has i«een asked by a Chicago inquirer if tin wheat brought into the United States trom Manitoba and shipped out again * included in the year's total exm>rls. According t > the Chicago party th— is an important propo"'tH»n, mid he advam । s th • statement t! a. the wluxit brought in from ncros* th< border during the last fiscal year aggregate 1 lO.iKHUrm to l.*».otH>,<hhi bushels, against next to nothing in previous years, and that it is of value to the trade to know all about it. Mr. Eord say- the Manitoba mid Canadian wheat is kept separate from United State- wheat, merely going through the country in bond ami not Ising included m the year's total of ex port. According to rhe treasury figures the total is omy a little over bushels anyway, instead of over lO.thhi. IMM*. as stated by th-- Chicagoan. Manitoba wheat, if it went into our home consumption, would have to pay 2<> p-r cent, duty, equal to about S cents a bushel. Exports for the year in wheat and corn aggregate 125,(>00,’i00 bushel*, against 143,900.(KXi bushels two years ago. Production of Petroleum.

Newell Cla: s. ag' 1 N“>. was pi. ke 1 up uucimsescis where he had fallen unattended and alone in his humble home at Ravenna. 0., fhur-Jay. Death relieved his sufferings. Mr. Clark was at one time n leading business man of Northeastern Ohio. at. 1 was pres’lent of the first Natiouai Bank "or thirty years. Jie was swindled into buying a gold brick, ami lost all of his fortune in buying worth of bond from a banker in New York, which, It is alleged, proved to be worthless. He Ims ben dejM'ndent upon charity for several years. He had just returned horn? from New York, whore he began a suit forSW ! >,OOU damages against the banker. Commanding officers of Chicago police stations tire now wondering to what extent they will be asked to assume the custody of money belonging to the business houses after banking hours. The example set by Cap*. Shippy of the Woodlawn district in taking care of the day’s receipts at the Coliseum Gardens is being followed by many who fear raids from robbers. Almost every police station in the city has a fireproof safe, and it has for many years been the practice of building and loan associations to keep their books, money and papers locked up there. Speaking about the matter, Captain Shippy said: “It has not been the custom among business men of my district, but 1 will accommodate them in any manner possible.” George Rimell, who for years held the championship of England as a crack shot, Bud whe was three years the champion

He then came to this country, where he was defeated by Eogurdus. After which he went to St. Louis ami began the manufacture of patent medicines, in which business he was tnceessful. Several weeks ago he hud a quarrel with a tenant, a fortune teller named Mme. Maric Frick, during which she struck him on the head with a shoe. She was arrested, and is serving a sentence of one year in the workhouse. Himel! has not been well since, and diet: of nervous prostration. He was an intimate friend of Buffalo Bill. The St, Louis police department is mystified over a sensational murder that occurred Tuesday night. A phaeton containing three mon and n woman drove up to a saloon. No. 2200 Washington avenue. One of the men and the woman alighted and entered the saloon. Sitting dow n to a I ible they ordered refreshments, and w'.ile the waiter was gone to till the order (he i-hols tired in rapid sue-ees-iun were beard, and the strange man wus seen rushing from the saloon. The woman, who was well-dressed and goodlooking, was found lying beside the table, dead. Most of the bullets had taken effect ami her loath was almost instantuneous.

Dr. Blumenth.il, first assistant professor at Leyden Germany, will publish a scientific repo: - on the treatment of lockjaw by serin which the medical fraterlook forward to with the greatest interest. Dr. Blumenthal gives the following extract from his article: “I have discovered, and show by numerous examples, why the serum has failed in the treatment of eases of lockjaw. Lockjaw poison clings to the spinal tissues with such tenacity a . to defy neutralization by serum. The experiments conducted prove, however, that if. while the lockjaw poiaon is circulating in the blood, scrum is injected the poison is destroyed.” The Italian brig Diadem, Swedish bark Svea, and Norwegian bark Johan Ludvig were blown ashore in Pensacola Bay. off Mobile.

A 3 rea . BMr r Onicl ils Worried. A Mnshington special to the New York M orld says that Subtreasurer Jordan of Aew York has privately informed the xreasury Department that much of the goal that has been withdrawn from the treasury reserve through his office has non taken by individuals for hoarding, and he has intimated to the department that such withdrawals are likelv to continue during t!i<> summer nnd fall. This feature of the gold situation gives the 1 rcasury Department much uneasiness. 1 he reserve has been reduced to $98,420,as a result of the withdrawal Monday Os s(>.»< ,390. Os this amount $375,990 was withdrawn f>r export, while the other $282,500 w its taken out for hoarding. If there had been no withdrawals since the date of the last bond issue the gold reserve in the treasury would have stood at $172,(197 .H.’S.

The greater portion of the labors of Mr. Breckinridge, Minister to Russia, during the last year, ns revealed by the published foreign relations of the United States, seem to have fouowed an instruction from the State Department to protest against the practice of th?

At this point where the publication closes he was obliged to bluntly inform the Russian Government that the United States । oubl not acquiesce in the operation of such foreign tribunals in the 1 nited States. Mr. Breckinridge’s presentation of the case was formally approved by Seiietary 9]my, Another im|M>rtant subject <-onsid<T«*l was the absolute insistence of the Ru*sinn Government upon it* rights to punish any Russian w ho falls into its power after Incoming a citizen of th,> Unite !
