MILWAUKEE, Nov 15.--The detectives
have captured William Puak and Jim Black,
beloved to bc tho assailants of August Grothc,
tho street car driver who was shot by masked
highwaymon while defending his money box
Sunday night. Puak is known as 'Texas
Bill" He is only about 90 years old, tall,
slender, and bcardless, but is said to bo u
desperate character. He has led wild,
rowing life, passing his boyhood and
youth III western Iowa, Dakota, and
the territories. Whom years old he ran
away from his homo in iowa, and made his
way TO Milwaukee, stealing rides on trains.
After that he went west when 10 years old,
and became a cowboy, passing his life among
months ago he returned TO Milwaukee,, and
since then has been tho terror OF the lower
part of the city. He dresses in the garb Of u
frontiorsman, wearing tho typical broad
brmucd sombrcro and belt and rcyolvors.
Tho stories told by the detectives Of Puaks
lawlessness are many, and his life has been q
round of adventures and excitement. He is
snid TO DO veritablc daredevil. Detectives
say that q week ago hc made an attempt to hold
up passenger train in the suburbs ofthe city,
presenting two rovolvers at tho engineer, or
dering him TO stop. The train passed, and he
opened fire at tho moving coaches, empty

fords the only missing link in tho chain of

The AustrnIinn Turr.
san Francisco Chronicle.


Tom Mcclellan arrived from Australia by
the last steamer and gives very discouraging
accounts of tho lack of interest taken in trot-
ting in the British colonies. He states that
racing is the favorito sport, and that fields of
twenty to thirty horses are of constant occur
renee and that thousands turn out to witness
the running contests whereas the best days
trotting will not attract q corporal's guard,
and the most ardent bookmakers will not open
n list on the result. He corroborates the
opinions of those who have studied the mat
tor, that the Australian horses show great
speed, with an extraordinary capacity for
packing up weight over q long distance, and
he says that the betting there is on the most
colossal scale, and even of those among
the public who cannot afford TO
wager largo sums there are thousands
who take number in the sweeps on the
various events. This is q kind of lottery
that the government does not suppress. The
form is very simple A well known book
maker opens $1,000 sweep on the Melbourne
Cup, and when the numbers are all taken the
Dames of all the horses are placed in an urn,
the remaining numbers being represented by
blanks. These numbers are then drawn and
the amount of tho sweep is divided among
the holders of the three horses that are placed
first, second, and third in the races, after the
deduction Of o certain percentage. These
tickets are sent for from all parts of the colo
nies, and even few find their way to this
coast Among these lucky holders is George
Johnson, now residing at Olympia, w. T.,
who had ticket in q recent sweep of l.. j.
Miller, of Melbourne and he drew the winner
to q net value of about So, ,4S0, this represent
ing $4,000 sweep, the remainder going to
the second and third horses. He seems to be
lucky at the game, as he won about s., 500 on
another event about year since.

An Arkansas Dog.
Edrly County NetUs.


One day last week our reporter overheard
colored man, w. Cook, who lives some five
miles below Blakoly, telling merchant in
this place that he had the best dog in the
state. He said it was worth fifteen bales of
low middliug cotton. In proof of this he as
serted that tho dog had treed 1856 coons this
fall, all of which were captured by Bill, the
dog not lying in single instance. Bill says
he has carried home 179 fox squirrels as re-
membrance of his industrious hound. Four
teen deer's horns adorn Bills residence, all
on account of the sagacity of his unerring
purp. Twenty-three wild turkeys have COB
bled their last time, all because Bill's faithful
long-eared animal discovered their feeding
place. One hundred and ninety three pos
sums have been carved for Bills Sunday din
ners owing to their inability to hide from this
wonderful dog. Cat squirrels innumerable
attest to his value as a trailer. Nineteen
catamounts have made their last raids upon
the farmyard, thus attesting to his remark-

Robert Bruce adyicog from Chicago yoster.

Robert Bruce advices from Chicago yoster-
day states that the grain markets opened
frmer and advanced about half cent all
around, then became dull, and prices receded
below opening figures The cable was firm
on wheat, but weaker on corn in Liverpool
Tho English country markets were turn
dearer, while on the continent trlhe ad
vance was established. The receipts do not
increase as was predicted, notwithstanding
the fine weather for hauling the past ten days.
The reported decrease in the visibly supply
(Which we don't believe) quite counteracted
the bear" feeling that was gaining Wednes-
day and Thursday and now it is said tho
agricultural bureau will show in their Novem-
bor report of the wheat crop decrease of
nearly 20.000,000 from their October estimate,
viz: 400,000,000 against 417,000,000 The
Canadian (Ontario) crop is stated to be only
100000 bushels this year against 100000
last year, and it is believed they will bc i'm
porters TO the extent of 100000 bushels, in
stead of exporters as formerly. The run OF
hogs show n marked falling off, being only
$4,000 to-day against $4,000 yesterday, and
$4,000 the day before. Trading in provisions
has been very active, and spectators rather
incline to tho "long' side. We note an ad-
vance 10 cents per 100 in pork, and "a in lard.

More Grass.

Pastures are too limited in number
and extent. Too much land which can
never be properly cultivated is lying.
idle, or raising crops of pestiferous weeds
to have the seeds blown over the land
devoted to crops. The pastures are
never too large, but they are nearly
always overstocked. There is greater
ignorance in the proper management of
the pasture and more neglect OF its re-
quirements to make it profitable, than
probably any other branch of farming.
In our dry and hot summers it will not
do to have pastures cropped short. The
grass must be left long enough to form
shade and mulch for the roots Besides
the leaves OF trees and the blades of grass
are their lungs. and limited growth is
made of roots, body or branches If they
are constantly robbed of leaves and
blades. 1t is positively necessary for a
good and prolific pasture to have enough
OF it so that the grass will be long, and
then it will be thick, tender and succu-
lent.
Clear out your hazel brush, your
rayines, fence rows and all of the waste
places ON the farm, and SOW them TO the
tame grasses. There has been published
an abundance of advice by learned men
of experience as to what kind OF grass
seed to sow on special soils and locations
If you have not been spending your idle
time the past winter in running TO town,
but in studying your business and plan
ming for greater success in farming, you
are now well informed Just what kind of
grass seed to SOW and when to SOW it.
But if you do not know these things, get
the grass seed at random-any kind or
all kinds, and sow it as you did your
wild oats, recklessly and prodigally. and
| it will be the beginning of wisdom with
you.
Some of You complain of high taxes.
And vet probably you have been paying
taxes for twenty years on some OF your
land. which by your neglect has not been
| Welding you cent of income. Any one
travelling through any part Of the coun-
try can see ON almost any farm many
acres of waste land. which if carefully
sowed to grass would yield large profit
per acre as the best pillow land. And II
il permitted to lie idle. and the pillow
land is scratched over yearly to raise
money to pay taxes on land which has
never yielded cent to the present own.
er and never will.
But we trust our appeals will have
some influence ON those who are not toe
old in perversity. Sow more grass seed
have more fortune. and not particularly
have more stock. but better ones Toi

but manage better and watch more care
