served. We once cut a large quantity of clover
hay when the bulk of the blossoms were fully
open, but good part of them were just open
ing. The clover lay from 10 in the morning
to in the afternoon, when it was raked and
gathered into cocks containing about 200 or
300 pounds. In that state it remained nearly
week 1t soon grew warm, but in such small
bulk it could take no harm. 1t simply cured
the moisture escaped slowly, and, when the
cocks were thrown open few hours before the
hay was drawn to the barn, the unopened
blooms were gradually unfolding. Thus it
went into the barn. There it again became
warm, but only very moderately. In the win
ter the hay was green, and the blossoms re-
tanned their natural color The immature ones
had fully opened, and were, pressed out in their
natural color, as the botanist preserves them in
his herbarium. The hay was still grass, but
dried. And it was grass when it was fed, and
1t made grass butter through the winter, and
came out of the NOV with the delicious odor
which might have spent itself over the valley
instead OF being retained in the hay had it been
exposed to the sun in the field. And this is
the way to make hay SO that it shall be cured

from their water.

Of the balance his partners paid only
$4,000 leaving a debt upon the prop

A Girl of Fourteen Takes Doss Of Paris

w [Chicago Times.]
One Of those singular child.suicides oc.
Cured at No. 81 West Washington street
on Wednesday, the victim being Maggie
Garrity, girl of fourteen years, but 1t did
not transpire that the demise was Of such q
tragic nature until yesterday, when Deputy
Coroner Mclaughlin and jury inquired
into it. The death was reported at first as
an accidental one, and the girls mother
was anxious to have, the facts suppressed,
and asked the Deputy Coroner to make the
request Of the newspaper reporters. 1t
was conclusively shown that the child had
been severely scolded by her mother, and
in fit of melancholy resulting from it de-
liberately committed suicide by taking
paris green. eE ..
DR.. A. B. Bausman testified that he was
called to attend the girl about p. M, on
the 18th inst, and found her suffering from
poison. The patient informed him that she
had taken teaspoonful of paris green for
the purpose of destroying herself, because
she felt badly on account of her mother
scolding her. The doctor gave her an
emetic and she vomlted freely. He also
ordered prescription to ailay the irrita-
tion caused by the poison and to stimulate
the brain which was acting feebly. After
leaving instructions to be sent for II the
child did not get better, he departed, and
was called again at p. M, and found her
dead.
Catherine Garrity, the mother Of the
girl, testified that Maggie was fourteen
years old, and was born in Chicago. Wit
ness arose Wednesday morning and pre-
pared breakfast while Maggie was getting
the children ready for school. Mrs. Gar.
rity told her daughter to hurry up, or else
the children would be tardy again, and
would be sent home. The mother did not
feel well and retired TO bed. At noon she
was awakened from sleep by the chill.
dren, who had come home for dinner, and
they were crying. Witness got up, and on
inquiring the cause OF their weeping was
told that Maggie had kissed them all
and bade them good.by, saying that she
might never see them again, but hoped to
meet them in heaven. The children also
informed her that Maggie had taken paris
green. Witness asked her about it and
she denied it, but afterwards admitted to
the doctor that she had taken the poison.
There had been paris green in the house
on several occasions. The child grew
worse, and her mother sent for DR.. Baus-
man, with the result above mentioned.
The jury returned a verdict that the
girl came to her death from dose of
paris green taken with suicidal intent.

The little village OF Bontonville, In tho
northern part of this county, IS hushed in
aorror over its first tragedy. A young
school teacher named VIM. Dane this morn
Ing shothimself to death, after having at
tempted TO take his life and that of his
sweetheart with poison. He had been wait
ing upon a girl, Ada Swift, daughter of
Oliver Swift, recently postmaster Of the
village, and was opposed by her parents
on account OF the girl's youth, she being
Dnly fourteen years old. Last Sunday
evening, however, they had brief inter.
view, after which both were taken deathly
sick. AS since learned, Dane had procured
two ounces Of laudanum and they had
swallowed 1t, intending to die together.
The heavy doses produced vomiting and
suicide was averted, though the girl is still
very i'll.
Dane was out again yesterday, and went
10 tho home of the girl to see her, but failed.
He talked about killing her and: himself,
and last night, at the suggestion of Danes
friends, Swift had him arrested on the
charge of attempting murder, the object
being to deprive him of his ability to injure
himself or the girl. The arrest was made
by Constable James Harmon, who, with d.
II. Crawford, decided to guard him in tho
office of Magistrate j. M. Crawford until
morning. Dane willingly submitted, was
searched and settled down in an armchair,
soon going apparently to sleep.
Soon after midnight the guards were
aroused by two pistol-shots, and caught
Dane falling from the chair, revolver in
hand and blood gushing from his right tenn.
pie. He had drawn a small revolver from
concealment in his clothing, placed 1t tohis
head and fired, the second shot proving
harmless. He fingered unconscious until
three o'clock and died. He was twenty.
one years old, oI good family and good ed.
ucation, having been correspondent for
several local papers. The writer drove
through ten miles of mud to the scene, and
gained the particulars from talks with
Swift, Harmon and other witnesses Of the
strange and sad affair. The girl will proh-
ably recover, though all knowledge of her
lovers death is as yet kept from her.
