American farms will produce big ¬

ger and letter crops and return more

millions in revenue to the farming in ¬

torests this your than ever before in

the history of the country All kindsof crops wheat corn oats hay andsmaller gialn and produce stapleshave progressed to tho stage where

this prediction may be made withscarcer the slightest chance that thetiDal official figures will disprove ito

correctnessRailroad officials and statisticians

of agricultural departments in the

various states of tho graiu producing

region givo their personal and official

guarantee that the year 1005 is to be

the banner year in farm prosperity Iftnere is a dissenting voice anywhere itis drownea out by the clamor of

optimism that comes from IllinoisIowa Kansas Nebraska the farSouthwest the Pacific coast and thewonderful spring wheat crop of the

NorthwestQuiteas much to the point if not

oven more in casting up the ledger

of prosperity is the prospect that thoprices compared with the hugeness

of the production will be higher thanthey have been since war times An

Juggling of Tobacco StatisticsVery Beneficial to the Trusts

AntiTrust Man Now in Bureau

I Washington D U Aug 22Adrnitting to all intents and purposesthat tha American Tobacco Trust limis

had the bettor view of the statistics onthe production of tobacco SecretaryWilson today appointed Joseph Killebrew a special agent on tobacco to be

attached to the Bureau of StatisticsKillobrew is not a neutral He is amember of the Dark District Assoclation the organization which has beenfighting the Trust with every weaponon which it could lay its hands Killebrew was appointed first because heis an expert on tobacco and secondbecause he represents the producers intheir fight with the Trust His salarywill be only 1000 but tho mere tactthat they are to be represented in thedepartment service will pleaso thetobacco growers Killobrew is fromClarksville Montgomery countyTenn His postoffice however IK

Outline Todd county KyFor a year or more they have been

charging that the statisticians whocompiled the tobacco statistics for theDepartment of Agriculture have beenbiased in favor of the Trust The re-

ports¬

put out by them were of such abearish nature that but a little morethan a year ago certain grades of to ¬

bacco had fallen to half a cent apound and a cent for certain othergrades was princely wealth

Since the organization ot the DarkTobacco District Association tho fightmade by the producers has forced theprice of the lowest grades up to threeand four cents the Trust has notbeen able to increase its prices accord ¬

ingly as it long ago put them to thehighest notcn consumerswould pay

Remarkable Mathematical Tricks

In the last report made by the Bu ¬

reau of Statistics the work of the pro ¬

ducers association was knocked intoa cocKed hat by the most remarkablemathematical tricks over performedeither in or out of a Governmentoffice They have just conic to lightand show that the making up of theOtton statistics was not the onlypeculiar trick performed in the Bureau

ofStatisticsWhen

the associate atotiticlan came to make up the acreagereport for Madison Washington andSimpson counties in Kentnokyhe se-

cured the services of a woman clerknot employed in the Bureau of Stallstics In tne course of her wore shohad occasion to multiply 117 by 102

She set down tho result as 179 8U4

giving it as the acreage figures forMndison county In getting the acreage for Washington county it was-

her tusiness to multiply 115 ny 200She gave 207245 as the product InSimpson county the figures to bemultiplied were 2U8 by 100 whichshe sot down as 203100 Tne resultwas a tenfold increase in the acreagefor the three counties

Panic Among The Growers

Wiion the report came out therewas such a panic in the tobacco district that prices fell until some onecalled attention to the fact that thereport was ridiculous on the face ofit that it would be ridiculous even ifit were not a fact that the membersof the association had decreased theiracreage onefourtb from the year be

fore When that was done prices roseagain but in the meantime theTrust buyers had bought hundreds ofthousands of pounds at low prices

When Secretary Wilson Investigatedthe matter he came to the conclusionafter seeing the figures for Simpsoncounty that the clerk had simply snldown oae cipher too many That theory would not hold in the case of theother counties because the sooallecproducts of the multiplications boreno sort of relation to the true pro-

ductsNo Explanation Asked

The clerk who made these mistakes is away on vacation and theSecretary has refused to recall her totoll bow it comes that she made amistake in those three counties Hesaid that had the error been made by

a man dismissal would have been theoutcome of the matter for him

FIRE DESTROYS TWO HOUSES

EaSndTheIn Condition of Negro

t7 Hall May Cause Big Fire

The small dwelling and the blacksmith shop at the foot of First streetwere destroyed oy fire Friday afternoon The dwelling was occupied by

huitna Higdor colored who savedmost of the contents Jacob May whooccupied the blacksmith shop lost Illsbellows but saved moat of his toolsThe two buildings wore the propertyof Mrs Mary J Miller The lirecaught in the dwelling trom a dofeotlvo flue and burned for sometime before the heat set fire to tie shopwhich was close by There was noinsurance on either building

Mr May got the firo partly undercontrol at its incipiency but iiblazed up again and got such head ¬

way that it was soon seen the property could not be saved It is thoughtthat J U Nolte Bras warehousewhich is diagonally across the streetand perhaps other buildings mighthave been burned if tho wind had notbeen blowing in the opposite direction

Some years ago Mr Mays residenceon the south side of Houston streetwas destroyed by fire and it is thesecond time his blaoksmithing busi ¬

ness has teen burned out The dweling has been on fire sevrenl times inrecent years and has narrowly escaped destruction Both buildings werein the direct path of the big fire otMarch 18 1001 and among the tewstructures that escaped The dwellingwas formerly a storehouse and wasone of the principal stores manyyears ago-

Apropos of the fire Friday severalbusiness men have been heard to re ¬

mark that the condition of the twostory frame building on water streetowned by the United Brothers cfFriendship a colored organizationis such as to be a menace to the safetyof the whole eastend of town They havenoticed that the outside chimneys areleaning to one side and in a very dan ¬

gerous condition and say that the building is very apt to catch fire at anytime If a wind is blowing at thetime they predict that the large tobac-co

¬

factory on the loft will catch fireand start a blaze that may sweep theEast Jind

The city council would do well atits next meeting to order the U BF lodge to put their building in Dropcr condition

How Yellow Fever is Spread

Stage 1The mosquito Stegouiyiafasciata species with a natural craving for fever impregnated blood bites ayellow fever victim and absorbs one ormore germs of the disease

Stage 2Ior twelve days the yellowfever germ rests in the mosquito stom-

ach¬

undergoing a gradual process ofmultiplication and development

Stage aAt the end of the twelfthday the germs migrate in slow proces ¬

sion from the stomach in the salivaryglands and from there to the very tipof the mosquitos biting organ seekingan avenue of escape

Stage JTbe mosquito thrusting itsbiting organ into the flesh ofa humanat feeding time allows one or twoyellow fever germs to escape into thehuman blood vessel from which themosquito is drawing blood

Stage sEach liberated yellowfevergerm the moment it finds itself de ¬

posited in a human blood vessel be ¬

gins to exude a deadly toxin or poisonIt also goes through a process of devel ¬

opment and shortly becomes the parentof a colouy of minute yellowfevergerms which migrate from blood ves ¬

sel to blood vessel until they are final ¬

ly distributed throughout the systemStage OThe offspring germs devel ¬

oping and becoming parent germs intheir turn give off an ever inereaciugsupply of the deadly toxin so that thehuman victim gradually succumbing toits baneful effects falls ill

Stage 7Tile final stage Theblood of the human victim becomes soimpregnated with the y llowfever germsanti their exuded toxin that he developsa case of yellow fever in its most pron-ounced form If while in this condi ¬

tion he is bitten by a Stegomyiamosquito the mosquito will absorb sev ¬

eral of the yellowfever germs whichwill be ejected later into the blood ofother human beingsNew YorkAmerican
