HORTICULTURE.
DEW PLANT AND MOISTURE.

A few days ago we were invited by Mr..
J. l.. Chadderdon, residing at the corner OF
Fourth and Nj streets, to examine the pecu-
liar effects Of several dew plants on the mois-
tare OF soil in boxes containing them. They
are exposed on an open porch, where they
hayeno water applied since the rain, five
weeks ago. The largest Of these dew plants
was in q box almost alone. The whole mass
OF soil in that box was very moist, and earth
worms we're found luxurating in it. The
earth in.boXcs near it, containing no dew
plant, was very dry. LII a second box was
asdcw plant with a geraniam, in third a
dew plans with lemon tree, and in each Of
those boxes was a considerable moisture,
and the two plants near the dew plant were
in very thrifty condition. We can but in
fer that the peculiar qualities of the dew
pfaut enable it to absorb enough moisture
from the air to communicate it to the soil on
which it grows, and hence may be, OIL
small scale, useful adjunct to irrigation.
We venture to suggest that q practical Use
of this plant might be made by placing it
between rows Of Strawberries or near other
plants. where we wish to retain moisture,
and TO husband limited means of irrigation.

PEN NOTES ABOUT TIE FARM.
SELECTING A FARM.
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR

s.Where shall select farm ~ is the aues-
sion asked by friend. An important ques-
ton It is; for it is often the case that men
seeking home give this too little thought.
Having visited every section Of Montana,
the writer can state from his own observ-
alton that there are good locations and poor
locations in every valley; SO, in answering
this question. it is not deemed necessary to
advise as to any particular section Of the
country. Two of the most important mat
ters to be considered In selecting a farm To-
cation is the supply and convenience OF wa
ter Tor irrigation and the securing Of place
where the crops will be least liable to dam
cations are made more with the view o. Sc
curing good water priyilepes than in guard
inc agaius this most serious impeachment to
successful farming.
Ii is we'll proven that the bench lands are
far ahead of the low bottom lands for tie
production of cereals and vegetables, but
there are many advantages to be gained in
good selection in bench lands. That the
best land for crops is upon the lowest val
leys is q mistaken idea, for it is well demon
strated that as prolific crops and as great
variety can be produced at an altitude of
d.5o0 feet as in valleys 1000 feet lower. Be-
cause in Missonla county a greater progress
has been made in the growing. of tender
plants and fruits is no argument that the
lands there, though they are nearly 1000
feet lower than some Of our valleys, are bet
ter than the lands Of other localities. The
greater success in that county is attributable
to til" fact thata greater effort has been
made there, and not because the lands there
are better. for there are parts of the valleys
OF that coHHty where the early frosts are
quite as damaging as any place in the high
valleys in Gailatin or Madison counties. |

sYsTgMs OF WHEAT GROWING.


Although there can be no discount on the
advantage of thorough culture as conser-
yer OF moisture, if practiced at proper sea-
son, there is really much doubt whether, so
far as the requirements of the wheat plant,
abstractly considered, are concerned, there
is any good effect from working the soil i'll
to a loose aud mellow condition. 1t is plain
from experience frequently cited that in GER
tain localities summer fallow, deep plowing,
etc., are Of great advantage in storing up
moisture and preventing surface evapDia-
ton, and in restoring a worn surface by
bringing up rich layer from below. AS
these are facts, the abundant preaching OF
thorough culture is desirable, and the pre-
cepts are applicable in such preponderance
Of localities that the generalization which is
generally made is admissible. AS a matter,
however, of interest, we note the fact That
some wheat growers in England are taking
ground that the best condition of soil for
wheat is not produced by much working.
In fact, the system Of cultivation which
some Of them advocate resembles very much
the stubble burning and scratching-in pro-
cess which has largely prevailed in this
State, with this important exception, that
they believe in restoring fertility by top
dressing and surface manuring, while our
growers have omitted this item altogether.
1t is true that conditions here and in Eng
land are almost dametrically opposed, as
their greatest trouble of late has been an
excess of water and ours the reverse. 1t is
somewhat singular, then, Il at they should
be drifting. into something like IL system of
wheat growing which we give credit for des-
troying the productive power Of our fields,
while we are gradually introducing sys-
TEN of thorough culture in which England
has led the world, both in theory and prac-
tice This We advance as an interesting
tact, whether it be found to- have any practi-
cal bearings or not
The experience upon which we base the /
above remarks we find in the latest Issue OF
the Agricxltara5 Economist, of London. Mr..
Mechi. who is one OF the best known Eng
lish farmers, because Of his tendency to ex-
pertinent and expound, states thatSffom long
observation and experience he is more and
more convinced that loose, friabie bed for
wheat is mistake, and that compressioH or
soility is essential to the Well-doing and
non-root falling OF the crop. After relating
his own experience in the matter, lie quotes
that Of Mr.. Piper, .ot Colne, who 'neyer|

THE MINERS MEETING.
A Large Assemble -e-Lanbert Mol
inelIi EIactsI Recorder.

Pursuant to call, the miners of the dis
trict assembled last evening at the Court
house for the purpose of e~lccting a Mining
Recorder for the ensuing year. The inter-
est Of the miners in this subj Get was evil
denced by the immense thropg present,
the building being crowded to its utmost
capacity. Promptly at Z o'clock the meet
ing was calIel to order by Dcplty Re-
corder G.. j. Scanland, who proceeded to
read the petition OF the miners asking for
an election. On motion Of Mr.. Cassidy
Colonel Thomas Taylor was called to the
Chair, and Mr.. p. stanton, of Rnby Hill,
chosen Secretary. Then followed a long
discussion on various points and side
issues, the meeting finally getting down to
its work by resolving to go into an election
for Recorder then and there. 1t was Or
dered that the Chair appoint Judges and
Clerks, and Messrs. j. T.. Jones and d. j.
Aston were named as the former, and
Messrs. Ben. c. Levy and j. Webster
as the latter. The voting was by
ballot. and the polls were kept open
two hours. There were three candidates
in the field, viz: Mr.. Lambert Molinelli,
Mr.. Il. J. Butler, and Mr.. Frank Robbins.
The canvass was spirited, some tall rust
ling being done by the friends Of tie re-
spectiye espirants. There were poIlcd 620
votes. Of which Molinelii received 1885,;
Robbins 1876; Butler 81; Moliaelli's major
ity over both, rs. There was an excess of
seven ballots over the number Of names
taken down by the clerks, which the cam
didates agreed in advance should be divided
equally between them in case the result
should be affected thereby. The contest
throughout was a friendly one, and the re-

THE REPUBLICAN RALLY.
They Hold n Council ON the street,
ana are Advised by Messrs. Muir
uhy. Taylor and Wren.

With a blast from the bugles Of the Eu-
reka Brass Band the Republicans gathered,
last evening, between two bonfires on Main
| street. General Conner was elected Presi-
dent, and with a couple dozen of Vice
Presidents, to keep up the stamping and
enthusiasm on the stand, they started off
by introducing Mr.. Murphy IA Republic
CAM.
Mr.. M. A.. Murphy, candidate for Attor-
ney General, stated that he was opposed to
the immigration Of Chinese; the Demo-
Gratis brough. them over TO California; the
ticket upon which his name appears was no
bonanza ticket; he had but little to say, as
there were other and more able speakers to
follow, and be sat Town without n sign Of
applause.
Colonel Taylor was now called out, and
he proceeded to speak at more length and
to far more purpose than any Republican
speaker has attempted before a Eureka au-
dience during this campaign. He endeav-
ored to show how much more solid was the
Republican State platform than was that of
the Democrats; he figured up that there
were five dishonest Democrats to one Re-
publican; the Democrats had got a little
hold in the United States House of Repre-
sentatives, and the first thing they had
done was to snatch every crippled soldier
by the nape of the neck and flip them out
Of every public position they occupied; the
Southern State, a paper published some
where ~ on the Mississippi river. had
said, in bold type, that the negro had no
right to vote and the Democrats were
ready to swallow such bosh-forgetting
that there was a Fifteenth Amendment.
The Colonel told some funny stories, which
were feebly applauded.
Mr.. Wren now came forward upon the
stand, and started off with a half-hour
talk about the financial situation Of the
country; said there were but very few
issues between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, but the subject of our finances might
be considered the main one, and i resolved
itself into one of the two propositions,
whether the people Of Nevada would have
Democracy, with its initiation and rags,
with nothing to redeem them; or Republic
canism, and good hard gold and silver.
Mr.. Wren closed with an appeal to General
Conner to rally his boys around the flag
once more, to vote for the Republican
ticket on the 5th of November next.

Interview with Mrs. Cayanaugh

Interview with Mrs. Cayanaugh.
Mrs. NJ. G.. Cavanaugh returned from
Cheyenne by last nights train. She was
Immediately called upon by a representa-
tive of the SENTINEL DESTROYS of obtaining
the result of her trip. She states that
Bob (her husband) was greatly surprised
about the whole thing. He claims that his
departure with Miss Ross was purely acct
dental, and that no improper intimacy ex-
listed between them. The detective en-
ployed in the case informed Mrs. Cava-
naugh that Bob had a ticket for Denver,
while Miss Ross was booked. for Cheyenne.
Their baggage was shipped in the same
way. He also ascertained til, ! I icy occu-
pied separate berths on the train. Bob was
detained by the Sheriff at Cheyenne on the
telegram sent from here, but was never
lodged in Jail. Miss Ross was also kept
under the official eye. A close search re-
vealed 500 in the possession OF Miss Ross,
and a larger sum, including some min
ing stocks, on the person Of Robert,
but not nearly the amount attributed
to him. He surrendered to Mrs.
Cavanaugh the mining stocks and all the
money he had, save $50. The truth
seems to be that Bob had been gambling in
stocks without the knowledge of Mrs. Cav
anaugh and had lost most of her money.
1t was for this reason, he states, that he
determined to leave Eureka for a time, not
having the moral courage to frankly own
up to his bad luck. He thought he would
go away for a while and write back the par
ticulars. His destination is Leadville,
Colorado. He was to have continued his
journey on the same day Mrs. Cavanaugh
left for home. Miss Ross was still in
Cheyenne and expected to remain there.
In explanation of the Battle Mountain trip,
Bob says they preferred going down to
meet the East bound train to remaining
over several hours in quiet Palisade. He
informed his unfortunate. wife that he
would return to Eureka in about a month
and try to make everything light.

SHOOTING.
A Man Tries to Escape from an OH
Ger and Gets Shot.

About 8 o'clock, last evening a man
named Joe Obiston-whose nationality 1t
was hard to distinguish, as he talked both
French and Gcrman-who was creating
q disturbance in Mendes' beer hall, got so
obstreperous that Mr.. Mendes started for a
warrant, and ordered Thomas Arrivy to
arrest the man. Tom says he took the man
along to the Jail door. and as he stopped to
put the key into the lock his prisoner
bounded away. Arrivy took after him, or
dering him to halt, and when in the rear OF
the Jail the man turned and tried to get off a
gun, swapping IL at pretty close range. Tom
then fred in the air a couple Of times, at
the same time doing his best to get hold OF
his man. Again the man turned and tried
to fire, and then Arrivy thought 1t was
about time to stop the mode of warfare OF
lodging when this mar was trying to shoot
him: SO he pulled down, and after that
there was q couple of shots fired and
Obiston was carried into the Jail, with a
eun-shot wound in his left side, just below
the heart.
DIR. Bishop examined the man imme-
diately, and recommended his removal to
the hospital. From what we could learn,
the wound is not dangerous, although it
may turn out to be a very serious affair.
Obiston was resting quite comfortably at
the last reports.
