A Mob Listens to Reason.

MARLIN, Sept. 29.-[Special. about
$3.50 o'clock this evening an armed mob
of about seventy-fve men rode into
town, and surrounded the Jail, and de-
manded Miles Bass, the murderer of
old man Cisco. Their demand not being
acceded to, they made an Intellectual
attempt to batter down the door with
sledge hammers. During this time armed
men guarded all approaches to the jail,
aud the crowd was only kept back at the
muzzle of guns. Judge Stuart and others
approached the leaders and coun-
seled them to let the law take it's course,
and finally prevailed upon them to
withdraw from the Jail and abandon
the lynching Of Bass. An Of
the killing of Cisco was wired the HER
AID a few days ago, since which time
Bass has had an examining trial and
his guilt fully established. Excitement
runs high, and many predict the return
of the mob tonight. 1t is safe to say
that Bass is in an uncomfortable posi-
ton and fully alive to his peril.

Farmers Accounts.

Every farmer should understand
enough of business to know the cost OF
all his productions; should be able to
tell the cost of an acre of grain, so that
when he sells it will be possible for him
TO determine the profit or loss, as well
rs be workman. Everybody. is com
planning of the hard times, and none
more so than the farmers, for prices are
low, and, unfortunately for Californi-
ans, we have not learned to bring our
expenses down to correspond. and TO
raise our productions up to paying
profits over expenses. The greatest ex-
pense we have is interest on borrowed
money and there is hardly farmer to-
day who is not in debt for his capital.
and which must be paid. whether or no.
That takes one-third of the grass crop.
The next is the waste in family and
barn; this leak can be easily remedied if
taken hold of in time. The last-which
Is never censidered-is the loss of fer
tility with every crop. Times will be-
come still harder unless these especial
expenses are curtailed. Many farmers
will say that the land will werr out
naturally. and we cannot make it paw
all the time. The Old World teaches
us that the yield can be increased BY
by feeding the land and by proper cult
walton so that we can double the present
returns.-N. j. ECeRjng Post.
