BLASPHIJ.\IOUS MONUMENTS OF
AN INFIDEL ARE DESTROYED.
Erected in Scorn of Christianity and
Desig’ll"d to Be Impe!'ishable.
A Singular Character.
KENOSHA, Wis.—The blasphe
pous monuments erected by Lewis
Knapp in 2 cemetery here to per
petuate his hatred of all religion,
and which he often boasted would
pe “everlasting,” have vanished from
the face of the earth. Knapp was
one of the most aggressive infidels
gho ever lived, and years before his
death planned to leave behind him
the record of his unbelief. As the
pest means to do so he caused to
pe erected on his cemetery lot six
monuments cast in metal impervious
to fire, time, or the elements, metal
{nat was guaranteed to last forever.
On these shafts he had engraved the
anti-christian sentiments that gov
ermed his whole existence, sentiments
s blasphemous that many foundry
pen refused to cast them. And now
the monuments are destroyed, ground
into the dust and has disappeared
from the face of the earth.
Called All Religion Humbug.
Knapp was a ‘“‘down easterner,”
porn in New York state in 1812. He
came to Kenosha and settled here in
the early days when Kenosha was a
village, and had ideas of rivaling
Chicago as the great port of the
Great Lakes. Knapp opened a gro
cery store and prospered almost from
the first. But Knapp’s bent didn’t lie
that way. He made money. He
made a lot of it. But in the prime
of life, when the future seemed to
hold forth to him the promise of
great fortune and honor, Lewis
Knapp turned irom the ways of in
dustry and began to dream, and read
and think. In the idle moments of
life, when not engaged in weighing
sugar and coffee in the little grocery
store, he was engaged in reading the
religious histories of the world. The
religion of Buddha, of Confucius, of
Mohammed, and of Christ he studied
alike, without fear or prejudice. He
found much in all of them that was
similar, and in the christian doctrine
be fell upon that rock which has
«t hundreds of modern Bible critics
to quibbling, the matter of the im
maculate conception. From this, he
said, had sprung a structure of lies.
He called all religions humbugs, but
the christian religion he entitled
foolish. He devoted his time to ar
guing the matter with friends.
hen he should have been collect
g bills he was sneering at the di
wnity of Christ to a group of re
geptive cronies. And so his trade
Il off, the community began to look
skance at him, and old Lewis
Knapp—"“Broad Gauge'” Knapp, as
le now called himself—and the
¥orld parted company from that
time.
Monuments Were His Protest,
The monuments came as Knapp's
idea of leaving upon earth his bitter
jrotest of things and gods as they
are worshipped in the world today.
It is something like thirty years ago
fhat the first of them went up. Ken
wha at that time was a small town,
Knapp was one of its leading citi
%®ns, and nobody cared to interfere
¥ith his desire thus to decorate his
ot in the cemetery. It was to his
wife, who died in 1871, the first
monument was erected, and it was
Qf marble. Later, resolving to make
is words last forever Knapp had the
marble torn down and in its place
frected a shaft of bronze. This, the
irst of his sacrilegious monuments,
Wre the first of his infidel utter
éices, and served to make his name
own all over the country.
The religious world was stirred to
8 depths, Hundreds of protests
Oured into Kenosha, excoriating the
‘lzens and churches for permitting
ich Dlasphemous. words to be dis
blayed, of all places, in a cemetery
bere lay huried the community’s
bristian dead. Ministers protested
iZorously, but the cemetery associa
-0 ruled that the lot was Knapp’'s,
¢ having purchased and paid for it,
I}d that he could do what he wished
Ith it, provided he did not violate
h‘{“ll“s of the association.
Knapp hailed with glee the uproar
¢ had stirred up, and then applied
self to erect other blasphemous
fluments., He began to find diffi
ity at this time in having his mon-
Ments cast, Kenosha stonecutters
I foundrymen from the first had
fused to touch them, fearing the

: ,_F-!n,, Cou. . TdeTS. There one
of thHex, Ourg ‘working upon
lone of the Tatie - scriptions fell
dead from heart disease, and the su
berstitious pointed out the fact as
an example of the doom likely to
befall all others who had aught to
do with the monument’s manufac
ture.
‘ Monuments Destroyed.
In January, 1898, Knapp died.
Ten years later an appeal was made
to the cemetery authorities that the
offensive monuments be removed.
It was denied. Then appeal was
made to Mr. Knapp’s brother, a
prominent attorney of Chicago. The
brother finally consented to the de
struction of the monuments, where
upon the members of the cemetery
association entered upon a solemn
contract to this effect: The monu
ments were to be broken and crushed
to powder. Each member was to
bury his share of the dust, “‘either
underground or in midlake.” So
that it could be said that the sacri
legious monuments of Lewis Knapp
no longer existed upon the face of
the earth.
The compact was fulfilled to the
letter. The shafts were tipped over
and broken into tiny bits. Not a
single letter remained whole. Then
each of the authorities took his
share of the debris, placed it in a
barrel, and at the dead of night
buried it—nobody knows where but
himself. Kach burial was made se
cretly by each of the men upon whom
the responsibility rested. None
knew what any one was doing but
himself. Even the whereabouts of
the poor dust of what once were
proud monuments is wrapped in mys
tery.
SENSATIONAL WERE SCENES
Not Since the Sully Boom of 1904
Has the Like Been Witnessed.
New High Record Made.
NEW YORK.—Not since the Sully
boom of 1904 has the New York
Cotton Exchange witnessed a more
sensational scene or a more spectacu
lar rise in prices than occurred Fri
day with the announcement of the
government crop report. With the
galleries crowded with visitors from
the south, augmented by friends and
relatives of operators and other in
terested spectators, the market soar
ed to a new high record for the sea
son with gains of more than $2 a
bale over yesterday. Both the May
and June options touched the high
mark of 15.80, both gaining approxi
mately 42 points over yesterday’s
close.
500,000 Sales Sold in Last Hour.
Bull brokers prevented a more
violent advance, as they had dis
tributed heavy selling orders every
five points up from 15.55 for May
and July. ‘they sold enormously,
supplyving the demand of shorts and
also the inrush of buying orders from
Wall street, Chicago and southern
operators and the local and New Eng
land dry goods interests. The mar
ket continued in an excited state up
to the close, with estimates that
500,000 bales had changed hands in
the last hour.
Great Rush of Buying.
It was 2 o'clock when the news
came from Washington that the gov
ernment estimate was 10,038,000
bales, the smallest crop since 1903.
Immediately there was a tremendous
rush of buying. Orders poured in
from the world over, and prices
jumped from 20 to 30 points on the
first transactions. Last trades made
just before the report was announced
were on the basis of 15.50 for May
delivery, the next sales were made
at 15.70, an advance of $1 a bale.
This was followed by tremendous
trading both ways and by rapid fluc
tuations. A break of 15.65 followed,
then came the rise to 15.80. July
cotton fluctuated along the same
lines, while March reached 15.60 as
its high point and closed at 15.40.
Below Expectation of Bulls.
The government estimate is about
200,000 bales below the prediction
of the most sanguine of the bulls,
and the action of the market natural
ly followed. Sixteen-cent cotton so
much talked about was not realized,
but the market came near it. s
It now remains to be determined
whether the federal estimaters have
underestimated the yield as has been
the case for the past ten years. Dur
ing that time the crop has been un
derestimated each year at from 500,-
000 to 600,000 bales.
these places throughout the state,
as all of the places in towns of less
population than stated above will
have to close their places of business
after January Ist. Then, too, it is
probable that the high license will
cut out a big figure in the number
of places that are operated in Geor
gia another year. -
The dog tax, which is expected to
be a farce, as all dog laws have been
heretofore, requires the payment of a
dollar per head on each _dog, and if
it is not paid the ‘‘dog catcher” will
be at liberty to get busy and take
the dogs in charge and hold them
until the dollar is paid or his days
of grace are forfeited.

AMERICA'S BIG BANK ROLL
IS $14,106,000,000 ACCORDING TO
THE MONETARY COMMISSION.
Interesting Facts and Figures About
the Country’s Banks, Both
National and State.
WASHINGTON, D. C.—The mon
etary commission, «of which Senator
Aldrich of Rhode Island is chairman,
is preparing an exhaustive report of
its investigations into the financial
resources of the country. Its com
pilation is designed to show the ex
act condition of banks at the close
of business on April 28, 1909,
Practically every incorporated bank
in the country furnished the com
mission a report for its investiga
tion, and a large number of private
institutions also provided data. The
compilation comprises the most com
plete and comprehensive information
relating to banks in the United States
ever printed. The banks reporting
include 6,839 national banks, 11,-
319 state banks, 1,703 mutual and
stock savings banks, 1,497 private
banks and 1,097 loan and trust com
panies. The total resources of all
these institutions are more than
twenty-one billions of dollars.
A brief analysis of the resources
and liabilities shows loans of $ll,-
373,000,000; investments in bonds,
etc., $4,614,000000; due from banks,
$2,562,000,000; cash on hand, in
cluding $809,000,000 in gold coin
and certificates amounting to $l,-
092,000,000; capital, $1,800,000,-
000; surplus and profits, $1,835,000,-
000; due to banks, $2,484,000,000;
deposits, $14,106,000,000, including
government deposits and oiher lia
bilities of $870,000,000.
Of the deposits $6,956,000,000 are
subject to check, $4,926,000,000 are
savings deposits, $1,212,000,000 are
on time and $625,000,000 consist of
demand certificates.
The total deposits in these banks
on or about June 30, 1909, were
$13,595,000,000 credited to over 25,-
000,000 depositors, ranging from $1
upward. Nearly fifteen million de
positors held savings or _time ac
counts. The average rate of inter
est paid on savings accounts is 3.55
per cent. and 3.10 on other savings
accounts, ;
Over 40 per cent. of the banks pay
no interest on ordinary deposits.
The number of banks has more than
doubled since 1900, and the commis
sion’'s report includes 1,145 more
than were reported to the comptroller
in 1908.
WATERING 600,000 ACRES.
Largest of All Irrigation Schemes Is
Planned By the Government.
Engineers are now engaged in the
Sacramento valley on the largest of
all the schemes planned by the gov
ernment. Its ultimate object is to
control the flow from a watershed of
over 4,000 square miles, and to im
prove the two great rivers in Cali
fornia. When the task is completed
over 600,000 acres of rich land, at
present dry and sunbaked during
eight months of the year, will have
been brought under irrigation, and
large areas of bottom land, at pres
ent subject to annual overflow and
great destruction by the floods, will
have been reclaimed. The work will
involve the control of sufficient wa
ter power over the greater part of
the Sacramento valley, which extends
for 150 miles from Mt. Shasta to San
Francisco bay, and at its widest part
reaches about 100 miles from mount
ain range to mountain range.

from this conference which recom
mended the acceptance of the SO
- ‘“‘tainted money.” The posi
tion of Dr. Anthony on the matter
was widely commented on, and his
opposition to the the acceptance of
the fund caused the friends of Dr.
Hinton at St. Luke church to come
to his defense in the controversy,
which became quite spirited for a
while. It is said that it was due
large to this incident that Dr. An
thony was transferred at the end of
the year to another charge, notwith
standing the fact his ministry here
was a success in every particular.
It was with greatest regret that the
members of the church gave him up.

the controversy here having passed

Y
THAT WAS FISHING SOME
SIX HUNDRED TROUT AND BLACK
FISH CAUGHT IN ONE HOUR.
How a Slippery Old Duck Saved Him
self. Watermelons and Vegeta
bles Plentiful in November.
Editor of The Dawson News: A
party came to the Thanksgiving
“blowout,” and went out to Bal
last Cave, and in about four hours
fishing with hooks and lines caught
600 trout and black fish. This is
the largest number that has ever
been caught here by any party in
that short a time. Ballast Cave is
where the big ships that come in
from foreign countries to load with
lumber and unload their ballast, and
is within sight of Lanark, only about
five miles out, in deep water.
When we came here, in May, La
nark was considered the poorest
fishing point on the coast. It was
truly the place “everywhere spoken
against’” as a fishing and hunting
point. But it is not that way now.
It has been fully proven, and only
needs to be intelligently advertised
that this is far the best fishing point
on the west coast.
Slippery Duck.
I am sure the originator of the
expression “slippery duck’” had some
experience very similar to that which
I had a few days ago. I was out
fishing in my boat when a large duck
came feeding near enough to get a
shot at him. Promptly at the crack
of the gun he turned over, showing
every sign of being dead. We rowed
up to pick him up, and when within
about ten feet from him he made an
extra effort and went under the wa
ter. We stood looking for him to
come up to shoot him again, but
when he did come up it was near
a hundred yards from where he
went under. We gave chase, but
he soon gave us the dodge and got
away.
Duck shooting is fairly good here
now, and will be fine when the
‘weather gets colder. We have duck
almost every day, and make no
special effort to get them. We us
ually kill all we want before break
fast, and when we get enough quit.
We have never tried to see how many
we could kill, because we have no
use for them. We usually kill from
two to five daily. Yesterday we
killed four, besides other birds, of
which there are a great quantity.
Quite a number of building lots
were sold Thanksgiving day, and we
expect soon to see a number of new
cottages built. This is one of the
great needs here—furnished cottages
where a man can bring his family,
or fishing and hunting parties can
come and rent a cottage and stay
a week or two at a moderate cost.
I am sure this hindrance will soon
be remedied.
Watermelons Middle of November.
A great many people ask me about
truck farming. My opinion grows
stronger every day that this is the
finest place in the country for truck
farming. Celery, cabbage, watermel
ons, beans and all other vegetables
and fruits would grow here in great
abundance.
My next door neighbor, Mr. R. K.
Beachamp, spent the month of Sep
tember at his home in Blakely.
While away some watermelon seed
that had been dropped in the yard
came up, and on his return, the first
of October, the vines had run all over
the yard, and were load with fine
melons. There were enough on these
few vines to supply the neighbors
until November 15th with fine de
licious melons. The atmospheric
conditions seem to be peculiarly
adapted to fruit and vegetable rais
ing.
In my next letter I may tell you
some of the wonderful things con
nected with the history of Lanark
lthat have never been given to the
world before. J. W. STANFORD.

{PREPARING FOR FARM CENSUS.
4,500 Reams of Paper For 9,000,000
| Copies of the Schedule.
A Washington dispatch says active
work commenced Friday on the
preparation of the nine million copies
of the schedule to be used in taking
the census of agriculture April 15th
next. The schedules will be printed
and ready about the first of the year,
although they will not be placed in
the hands of the 45,000 farm enum
erators until the usual time before
the enumeration date. It is believed
there are nearly seven million sep
arate farms in the United States,
each requiring a separate schedule.
The schedule is printed on both
sides of a single sheet, thirteen inch
es long and sixteen inches wide, of
white paper, 26 by 32 inches. There
is at three-ineh-wide column of in
structions to enumerators on both
left sides of the sheet, so that it can
be cut off after the filled-in schedule
has been returned to the census bu
reau. This makes the schedule
smaller in size and better adapted
for handling in tabulation than pre
‘vious schedules. A separate book
‘of instructions to enumerate supple
ments the schedule information.
The nine million copies will con
sume 4,500 reams of paper, which,
counting 52 pounds to the ream,
will make a weight of 234,000
pounds. The charge for printing, in
cluding the cost of paper, will le
$13,000. The schedule is so stand
ardized that it will feed on the per
fecting press used at the government
’printing office, which makes 9,000
revolutions per hour, and prints four
\schedules each revolution, or a prod
uct of 36,000 per hour, as against the
’old flat-bed presses used on the 1900
schedule with a speed of from 1,260
to 1,500 revolutions per hour. It
‘will take about three weeks to print
'them with the press running sixteen
‘hours a day.
DOWN TO A POSTAGE STAMP
There Are Men in Hard Luck Who
Try to Get Cash For the Lit
tle Squares.
The clerk at the stamp window of
a branch postoffice in New York
pushed back a 5-cent stamp that had
been offered to him.
“Sorry,” he said. ‘“‘You can’'t buy
a 2-cent stamp with that. It’s
against the rules.”
The man who had tendered the
stamp looked disappointed, but went
away without a word, and the clerk
turned to a friend who had been
lounging near the window.
“You'd be surprised to know,” he
said, “how many people try to cash
in stamps here. Some want me to
buy them back at their face value,
others want stamps of 2 lower de
nomination, like that fellow. But
I've never had a man ask me for
two 5-cent stamps for a 10, or two
2’s and a 1 for a 5. They all want
to realize a few cents in actual
money.”’
~ “That’s queer,” said the friend.
““‘Can you explain it?”
~ “They’re down and out,” answered
;the clerk. ‘“‘They dig up some old
postage stamps they've been carry
}ing in their pockets for weeks, per
haps, and try to raise enough on
them to buy a frankfurter and roll
or a loaf of bread. I know what
I'm talking about, because I got act
ual proof on one occasion. A fel
'low came to the window on a cold
night last winter. He wanted to buy
a postal card, and tried to pay me
with a 2-cent stamp. [ was going
ito turn him down, as the department
instructs me to do every time, but
he seemed to be so anxious to get
that single cent back in change that
I took it out of my own pocket and
gave it to him,
‘“He hustled away and I.forgot all
‘about him. The next morning I hap
"pened to see him on the bench in a
“)ark and couldn’t resist asking him
if he used the postal to write home
to his girl. He gave me one look,
‘and say, I was sorry I had tried to
crack such a bum joke! I did my
best to make amends by buying a
‘breakfast for him, and he told me
the story of that stamp. It seems
that he had been reduced to 4 cents
and a 2-cent stamp. There's a place
where you can get a big bowl of
soup with coffee and bread for 5
cents, but they wouldn’t accept the
stamp there, and he’'d been trying all
the evening to raise at least 1 cent
on it to make up the price of a
meal.”’

EXPERIMENTS OF “SHOOTING
THE SOIL TRIED IN KANSAS.
Three Thousand Saw the New Means
of Lossening Earth. Many Plan
to Use System in Fields,
Farmers in the vicinity of Pitts
burg, Kan., are greatly interested im
the scheme of using dynamite ter
loosen up the subsoil of fields being
prepared for cultivation. Three
thousand persons watched a demon
stration of the system given on the
grounds of the Manual Training Nor
mal school at Pittsburg a short time:
ago.
gDr. Willilam Hamm of Vienna was.
the first to recommend the use of ex
plosives in agriculture. His idea was
that the lowest strata of the soil
could not be reached by any of the
agricultural implements now in use.
To demonstrate the feasibility of the
idea a number of interesting experi
ments have been conducted by ag
ricultural departments over the
United States, among them that con
ducted by the Kansas department a.
few days ago.
A Gardener a Convert.
The demonstration at Pittsburg
was so satisfactory that many farm
ers are planning to follow up the
scheme on their farms as soon as pos
sible. Henry Brinkman, a gardner of
Pittsburg, means to dynamite his
ground this winter and have it ready
for the spring crop. If all the farm
ers who are talking of trying the
explosives in farm work really make
the attempt it will soon be a com
mon occurrence at Pittshurg to drive
out in, the country and see farmers
“shooting” their ground as steadily
as if they were following the plow.
The place of demonstration on the
manual campus was a piece of
ground .00 by 280 feet. One-half
of the shots were fired by battery
and the other half was by fuse. The
dynamite was in stick form and a
quarter of an inch in diameter. It
contained 25 per cent. of nitrate am
monia powder. The sticks were
placed twenty-five feet apart, and the
holes were drilled to a depth of
three feet. The shots fired by the
battery seemed to give the best re
sults, seemed to shake the ground
better and leave it in a better condi-~
tion, as the wohle surface of the
}ground was shaken at once.
Each Shcet Leaves a Reservoir.
The soil was thoroughly pulver
ized for a distance of six feet fre
each shot. 'Cfi*fiksvrS%Wfi“fl;rg
tion from the shots, showing that the
exvlosives had left fissures in every
direction under the ground as “rl{
as on top. . .
It is estimated by those who have
experimented in this class of ground
culture that each shot leaves a reser
voir where several hundred gallons
of water can collect and furnish
moisture from the bottom instead of
receiving all of the moisture from
the top, the water thus carried into
the ground feeding the roots or what
ever is planted much more readily
than if all the water came from the
surface. The ground that was ‘“shot’”
at the Manual Training Normal
school will be planted in trees and
shrubbery.
HOOPER ALEXANDER GETS PAY.
Warrant Reads “Contract By Former
Governor Hoke Smith.”
A warrant for $2OO has been
drawn on the state treasurer in favor
of the Hon. Hooper Alexander for
his services in a case, instituted by
Controller-general Wright against
the Georgia Railway and Banking
Company, arising over a matter of
disputed taxes. Mr. Alexander has
drawn $250 from the treasury before
as a part of his fee in the same
case. Mr. Alexander was employed
in this case and a contract entered
into with him cn behalf of the state
by former Governor Smith on the day
before he relinquished his office as
governor.
It is seriously questioned that
Alexander, being a member of the
legislature, could legally accept em
ployment by the state, and on the ad
vice of Attorney-General Hart the
warrant giving the treasurer author
ity to pay the money, reads ‘‘as per
contract entered in to by Ex-Gov.
Hoke Smith.”’

lariat as it is to rope a Texas steer.
This opinion is shared by ‘“‘Mike’”
Loveless of Capitan, N, M., and
“Jim'® Owens, of Fredonia, Ariz.,
two of the best ropers in the west,
whom Mr. Jones has selected to ac
company him on the trip and share
in the profits that he expects to reap
when he returns with a shipload of
wild animals that have fallen vie
tims to his prowess with the lasso.
As a fitting farewell on the eve of
his departure Mr. Jones is to be ten
dered a banquet at Delmonico’s to
morrow night, at which the menu
will include buffalo steaks, bear
