Hartly Clifford, the Milwaukee
young man who shot Capt. Pugh, of
Racine, last year was sentenced to the
penitentiary for life by Judge Bennett,
at GAINESVILLE, on Monday. The poor
boy wept like child, and when his
sorrowing mother was mentioned by
the kind hearted judge, Clifford shud-
dered and almost fell to the floor.
Whiskey and gambling have in this
case sent brave man to his grave,
sent real smart boy to states prison
for life, and broke the heart of a fond
mother. The lesson ought to be
branded into the brains Of many young
men who are starting out on career
of smartness, but it probably will not
be. If they could, as they sit about
the gambling table, see the dead
Captain Pugh, the weeping mother Of
the murderer, and the handsome boy
handcuffed and shackled, on the way
to the living death that awaits him,
and could realize that they are taking
the same road, they might give gamb-
ling and drinking the shake, and go
into more respectable business

Our readers will notice in the above
article that Judge Bennett who presid-
ed at the last session Of the circuit
court in this city, has been called upon
to perform another sad duty-that of
sentencing a second young man to the
State penitentiary for life. The
Judges words to the prisoner before
giving him his sentence were undoubt-
edly similar to those he gave Marvin
NJ. Fenner, whom he sentenced for
life in this city the 10th inst.

Ihave examined the sample of
your Saskatchewan Fife wheat and i
pronounce it the finest in quality Of
any sample I have ever seen; and !
trust you may be able to scatter some
of it along our line Of road, where we
have elevators, as we are highly in
terested in the farmers raising
nothing but hard Fife, and that the
best. Yours truly,

AS will he seen above, the General
Manager of the n. p. Elevator Com.
pany, thinks it 4 good thing for the
farmers to SOW hard Fife wheat;
but when they have raised it, lie does
not think it good to call it anything
but Soft wheat, and pays them accord
ingly. During the time that concern
has been purchasing wheat here. they
have never graded i bushel of wheat
received here by them as hard, al
though some wheat bought by them
here has graded No. lizard, atDnluth.
N ow no doubt it is q nice thing to
have the farmers raise hard wheat
and buy it for soft, and also to mix it
with other wheat of a poorer grade.
and thus make more on the whole,
and then claim that the wheat goes
off grade. For further particulars we
refer him and his Company, to Geo.
Van Inwegen of Hastings, late Grain
Commissioner of the Northern Pa
cific Railroad.
