Last Saturday, at the fremen's picnic
at the Fairgrounds, Officer William
Lehnis attempted to arrest Sam Davis
and was set upon by Dave Owens and
George Mist, his mace taken from him,
and he roughly handled generally, his
face being scratched up. On Monday he
filed complaints against the three, and
they all pleaded guilty, the first to dis
turbance and the other two to resisting
and the Mayor said in the resistance
case that he proposed to protect his Off
GERS from rOughs and he ought to give
them thirty days in Jail; but as he did
not like to take them from their work
and families he would fine them $40
and costs each, which was gladly paid,
as the men got off easy.

THE STREET COMMISSIONER.
Some of the Difficulties which this OFF
cial has to Contend With.

Some of the Difficulties which this on
cial has to Contend With.
The office of Street Commissioner is
by no means sinecure, and if possible
he has more abuse heaped upon him
than any other city official, for property
owners only see the work needed to be
done in their own Immediate vicinity,
while he has the entire city as his field
of action. This year, especially, there
is such a vast increase of all kinds of
street work that the Street Commission
er has more than he can do, and he
should receive encouragement from the
Council instead of fault-hnding, when
he asks for instructions.
Last Monday night one member arose
and said "that he thought the Street
Commissioner should know his duties,
and not come running into the Council
with his work on each night"
This comes with poor grace from a
body who are as often as not very poorly
posted in their line of duty. Speaking
with that official about the box sewer
that was ordered constructed on South
Market street, by the Valley crossing,
and for which he got tOngue-lashing
in Council last Monday, he said that he
went to Mr.. L. Buckius, of the Valley
Company, and told him that the cOmpa-
ny must put in sewer at once, or he
would put III In ana cnarge IL 10 Ine
company. Mr.. Buckius referred him to
the section boss, who said he would
put one in at once, and asked what size,
and was told not less than two feet
square. The Street Commissioner then
| left for his other duties and did not go
there again, as he said he could not be
IN all parts of the city at once. He was
ready to go with the Committee on Rail-
roads at any time, and would be glad of
their assistance in the matter.
1t is very easy to find fault, but this
officer has many things to contend with
in street matters that the City Council
and the general public are not aware of
and this is one of those cases.

Seeding to Grass in the Fall.

As rule Western farmers SOW but
little grass-seed in the fall, though the
practice is quite common in other parts
of the country In some of the Eastern
States, where there is much snow to pro-
tect the young plants, timothy is gen
orally sown in the early part'of the fall,
and it makes a good growth before the
cold weather sets in. Sometimes clover
does remarkably well when the seed is
sown at the same time. Winters in the
West are generally unfavorable to pre-
serving young grass and clover plants,
and the ground is ordinarily in poor
condition to seed down to grass in the
early part of the fall. It is often SO dry
that seed as small as that Of grass and
clover will not germinate. If the seed
sprouts, the tender stalks are often
destroyed by the hot sun and dry air.
During the past four years the practice
OF sowing grass-seed on fields as soon
as a crop of Hungarian grass or mill Ut
has been harvested has become very
general in the vicinity of Chicago, and
the best results have followed the prac
tice. The seed is sown in the stubble-
fields and covered with light harrow.
If there are seasonable rains it comes
up in a few days, and the stubble pro-
tects it during the winter. The condi-
dition of the soil in respect to moisture
is very favorable to sowing grass seed
in the West, and it is likely that much
more will be sown with fall grain than
is usually the case. If the seed is sown
on grain stubble, and the winter is fa-
vorable. good crop of grass can be
harvested next season. 1t will have the
start of the weeds in the spring and will
in a great measure keep them in check.
If grass-seed is sown without grain in
the spring, however, weeds are likely to
take possession of the ground, and to
keep it -Chic0g0 Times.

The Draft Of a Pl0w Sulky.

Why is the draft of plow sulky less
than that OF a walking plow? asks and
answers a writer in the on 3 Ftrn.er.
Simply because the plow is carried
through the soil instead OF being pulled
though. In the common walking plow
the weight of the soil upon the mold
board causes the pillow to rest upon the
bottom of the furrow. with so much adj
ditional friction. With the plow sulky
this weight is transferred from the bot
tom of the furrow, with its friction, to
the wheels, including the weight OF the
soil that is being overturned. With a
common pillow it will be noticed that the
under edge of the land side makes a
very smooth track in the fnrrow, which
can only be produced by considerable
pressure; but this disappears when the
plow is suspended upon an axle between
two wheels. Then again, there is no
piunging of the plow, going deeper than
is needed, or running to land and max
ing a wider furrow, with increased draft,
or running out and taking off oalV a
strip .yAt theseld' gof the furrow the
spfow IS hofsted ard wheeled into its
place, instead OF being dragged about;

widow was old enough to be McGinnis' moth
