A. McKeene, there will be a larger number of farmers' insti­ tute ineetings in Illinois the coming season than heretofore. There is to be a Central Illinois Farmers' institute In Paris, October 15, 16 and 17; a Southern Illinois Farmers' institute in Cairo, November 19, 20 and 21, and the annuel state institute in Sterling, February 18, 19 and 20, 1913. Besides these important state meetings, there are already planned local and county meetings for 254 towns covering 422 days. There will be 135 one-day, 148 two- day, and 135 meetings of three or more days' duration. The state insti­ tute has assigned sixty-five speakers and instructors who are scheduled to deliver 847 addresses. Besides these, the college of agriculture and experi­ ment station authorities will assign two speakers to each regular county institute, when they are asked for, and which, it is estimated, will bring the total number of addresses to be given by state speakers to 1,647 for the period from September to Febru­ ary ; this does not include the speak­ ers for the state meetings. Hhe attendance at local meetings last season was 176,650; this does not include the record of attendance at the six one-week short courses in ag­ riculture in various parts of the state, nor that 6f the two state meetings which were held; nor does this rec­ ord of interest in agricultural study and discussion take into account the dairymen's meetings, the Live Stock Breeders' convention, the Alfalfa Grow­ ers meetings, the good roads meet­ ings, the seed and soil special trains, all of which would swell the total at­ tendance at agricultural meetings to several hundred thousand people. Such active continued Interest in the problems of seed, soil, harvest and improved live stock in Illinois augurs well for the future prosperity of the state. Famous Minister to Talk at Fair. The Illinois state board of agriculture closed an engagement for the presence of the famous inde­ pendent preacher, Pastor Rnssell, of New York and London. G. C. Driscoll of Dayton, O., the personal represen- tstive of the ubiquitous pastor, called u^on Secretary Dickinson of the board and positively promised the presence of the distinguished divine. Mr. Driscoll did not ask for any re­ muneration on behalf of Mr. Russell. "He will not accept pay for his serv­ ices as a lecturer," remarked Mr. Driscoll, "nor are there any collections taken up. He will not appear in any place where admission is demanded for his presence. He Is endeavoring to carry the Gospel Into the hearts of thousands and tens of thousands who bel/ong to no church denomination. He is not a revivalist, but is seeking to turn the minds of skeptics and Infi­ dels into the way of Christianity by new paths. "I am glad he consented to come to the great Illinois state fair, ft>r I be­ lieve can do an Immense amount of good here. He would not come If admission was charged to hear him. The fact that a gate fee on Sundays always has been charged to the state fair, and that it would be charged if he were not present permits him to accept the Invitation. He will dellver his greatest lecture, 'Beyond the Grave' on this occasion." Pastor Russell is strictly an inde­ pendent preacher. His lecture will quicken the dormant love for the pure and the good in Protestants, Cath­ olics, Jews and Mohammedans, re­ gardless of denominational beliefs. Title and Trust Raises Capital. The Chicago Title and Trust com­ pany certified to the secretary of state an increase of capital stock of from 95,000,000 to $8,600,000, and in the number of directors from 17 to 20, and a consolidation with the Real Estate Tttle and Trust company, un­ der the name of the Title and Trust company.

Making the twenty ninth person apprehended in the crusade against adulterated milk which was recently- started by members of the pure food commission, assisted by United States marshals. E. J. Norton of Brighton Save bond in the sum of $200 in the United States district coprt to appear at the next term on a charge of ship­ ping adulterated milk. According to Information on the ease Norton shipped eight gallons of •cream from Brighton to the St. Louis Dairy cosapany of St. Lor Chester Insane Not Abused. Charges that patients la the Chester State Hospital for Insane Criminals hare been abused, choked, kicked and beaten, fed unclean food, bedded under unclean blankets and without the use of clean towels and soap were declared unfounded and without basis by Judge B. R. Bur­ roughs of the state board of adminis­ tration and A. L. Bowen, executive secretary of the state charities com­ mission. Charles Breitske was released from Chester by habeas corpus in Judge Windes' court in Chicago and May 21. 1912, printed charges against the in­ stitution. The investigation toy the state offi­ cers had been in progress since. In substance, it says that the methods of discipline at Chester are recognized as the safest and best for that class of men, many of whom have commit­ ted murder or other crimes against the person. The "choking" complained of con­ sists in placing the fore arm under the chin of a fighting patient, the attend­ ant being behind him. In this position the patient is unable to use his head and teeth in attack. Not a single patient complained that he had ever been injured or caused serious pain by these methods of con­ trol. Breitske and nearly all his patient witnesses admitted they had never been misused or mistreated. The committee says of the com­ plainant, Mr. Breitske, that he has been in this hospital three times, but has never made any complaint or charges in his two periods of free­ dom prior to his last release. His excuse for not telling the su­ perintendent, members of the board of administration and other state offi­ cers, either by letter or word of mouth, is that he could not get paper and pencil and would have been abused had he done so, yet the rec­ ords show that he frequently wrote letters; that letters making charges against the institution are often writ­ ten by patients and mailed.

The reason for the general's hike with the common soldiers was partly a Jest and partly his wish to know the exact conditions that the enlisted men in the Illinois National Guard have to face in the field.

Washington, Aug. 5.--Directed mare than a year ago to Investigate the United States Steel corporation, the report of the majority of the commit­ tee of the house of representatives was submitted to the house Friday by Representative Stanley of Kentucky, the chairman. J. P. Morgan and his associates are held up as being bene­ ficiaries of enormous profits realized from the overcapitalization of the subsidiary companies of the steel cor­ poration and later of the corporation iitself. Former President Roosevelt is In­ dicted for making the oontrol of the steel trust absolute and is charged with being responsible for the gigan­ tic stature the trust has attained. The steel corporation is called an enemy of organized labor and is ac­ cused of lowering the condition of its employes and of contributing to Amer­ ican Industry workmen and work methods un-American and foreign to the best interests of labor. Legislation recommended by the ma­ jority consists of three bills. One, commonly known as the Brandeis bill. Is designated to give an injured party the right to begin suit to prevent or­ ganisation of a combination in re­ straint of trade. This bill also trans­ fers the burden of proof to the defend­ ant corporation to show that It is a combination within "reasonable re­ straint of trade." Another bill would provide that "no person engaged as an individual or as a member of a part­ nership, or a director or other officer, or an employe of a corporation, In the business, in whole or in part, of manu­ facturing or selling railroad cars or locomotives or railroad rails or struc­ tural steel, or mining and selling coal, shall act as a director or other officer or employe of any railroad company which conducts an interstate com­ merce business." The third bill is in­ tended to hit at the system of inter­ locking directorates and would sepa­ rate industrial from railroad business.

COLLEGE GRADUATE STEALS •150,000 IN TREASURES FROM WEALTHY CHICAQOANS. HAS JEKYLL-HYDE CAREER Social Bandit Beats Efforts of Great­ est Flotlon Writers--"Only Robbed the Rich," Is His Excuse for a Score of Remarkable Robberies. Chicago, Aug. 6.--When an exciting chase in the loop resulted in the cap­ ture of Jacob F. Guthrie of 1613 Prairie avenue Saturday, treasure worth $150,000 was recovered and a career that had surpassed that pic­ tured for any of the "society bandits" of fiction checked. Cultured, a college graduate and a former high school instructor, Guth­ rie Is charged with having surpassed Raffles, Arsene Lupin and the other creations of authdrs. Robberies in a score of homes of Chicago's wealthy residents are charged to him. Art treasures, silverware, rare books, Jew­ elry, objects of historical value and ones appreciated only by a connoiseur were his pelf. Society columns of the newspapers furnished htm with a guide to the do­ ings of the victims he selected. Ev­ ery one of the score of robberies charged to him are believed to have been planned with caution and circum­ spection, and while the police were looking for experienced robbers they blamed for the crimes Guthrie was working as an employe In the city hall--an assistant chemist In the city laboratory. When the police, after the capture of Guthrje, raided the barn and stor­ age warehouse where he had hid his booty they were astonished. It was as If they had entered the cave of the robbers that All Baba found. Paint­ ings whose value was told in four figures, costly Jewels, monogramed silverware, rare books and objects of a similar nature were heaped In pro­ fusion in the barn and were held In | the warehouse. Receipts held by Guth­ rie, and which he tried to destroy in his flight, called for these valuables. Seized by the police, they were , taken as evidence against him. When confronted with the accumulation of evidence against him Guthrie finally J admitted that he was the man sought , for a number of robberies. "I only robbed the rich," was his excuse, given half-boastingly In a way that recalled the vauntings of Robin Hood. Several days ago Guthrie had given the bank four checks which looked suspicious to the bank officials, and upon his arrival to collect the $900 that the paper represented Officer McCaffrey seized him.
