The Catholic Colonization Scheme.

Catholic immigration societies are
not Il new thing in this country. But
there is new society of that order
which promises much, apparently, in
the praiseworthy line of things for
which it was organized. Reference is
made to the scheme of Rt Rev. l.. NJ.
Fink and his coadjutorin Kansas, enti-
tied 1.-The DiOcean immigration SOci-
| ety Ofthe Diocese of LcavenwJrth. II
was organized Feb. %. 1888. and since
that time has been in vigorous opera
ton 1t is a Catholic bureau, created
for legitimate religious aS well as sccu
lar ends, the sccularity being the i'm
proycmcnt in the material prosperity
of the immigrant, and not of the but
rcau. as Il corporate body, or of its in
dividual members. 1t is too late in
the settlement of Kansas to carry out
such schemes as those effected by
Bishop ireland in Minnesota. Except
out on the desert, there are no extensive
unoccupied tracts of land which might
be appropriated to an exclusively Cath
Ollie colony. But there are innumcra-
bic farms and small unreclai ned pOr-
tons of land within the reach of Cath
ole worship and Catholic schools
which offer inducements to settlers in
new country. The bureau aims to
be n guide to the immigrant in finding
such places to build home and rear
family. 1t aims also to be protect
ion to him against his own Ignorance
of values and against land sharks of
all shapes, 1t requires that all local
advertisements shall go under the re-
view of an impartial, competent,
and central board, and warns immi
grants against rclying on representa-
tions from Catholics or Others that
have not the stamp of this central au
thority. 1t is not dreamed that all
immigrants will escape imposition or
that no one will manage personal
cmolumcnt by means of the movement,
but it aims to do what in the nature of
the case can be done to show the inn
migrant, before he leaves his present
place of residence, precisely what he
will find and at what cost, and to show
him the nearest and cheapest way to
reach II chosen home in the west.
He may know what he can buy for
$500 or 81 900 or.S2, 900, what the sec
ular advantages of the neighborhood
are, and on what religious advantages
he may rely. Maps and descriptive
pamphlets are furnished to applicants,
and local boards are required to sup
ply such direct and personal informa-
ton rs may be desired. 1t is pure
ly religious and philanthropic scheme
for seeing, and in character with the
church under whose auspices it is car
ried on. That thieves and spectators
will form no rings to sell lands that no
local zealot will be baked in his at
tempt to squeeze his own particular
lemon would be too much to affirm:
and beyond a doubt the immigrant
will need his own personal astuteness
as well as the guidance of the bureau.
At the same time, it is believed he may
regard this and other associations
which act under the eye of diocesan
incumbent as meaning well by him, as
certainly as meaning well for the ter
ritorial extention OF the Catholic
church. Chicago Times.

Murderous Assault Upon a Conductor,

A desperate encounter between Con-
ductor r. L. Dunsmore, of the Chicago
and Alton, and passenger named
Powell, occurred on an eastbound train
from Kansas City Friday night. Pow
ell, who was bound for his home at
Gillian, Mo-, where he is a wcll-to-do
merchant, discovered that the train
did not stop at the station and grew
very indignant when the conductor in
formed him that according to the rules
he would be obliged to pay full fare to
the station beyond and that no return
check would be given him. After the
conductor collected the fare he passed
on and Powell followed him with mur-
derous intent, and just as Dunsmore
stepped out on the dark platform,
Powell stepped close up behind him,
and throwing his left arm around his
head, pulled it back so as to expose his
throat. At the same time he drew
from pis pocket with his right hand a
large pocket-knife and made desper-
ate attempt to cut his throat. The
conductor, thus seized unexpectedly
from behind with a strong man gar
roting him, was at q great disad7an-

tage. The train was running at Il high
rate Of speed, making foothold some
what precariouS, and the roar and the
darkness prevented him at first from
Judging Of the character of the assault
His disadvantage was increased by the
fact that one of hands is manned and
he has but Il partial use of it. Still he
was game and intuitivcly, throwing
up his good arm he managed to strike
the hand containing the knife just as
it was reaching for his throat
The effect was to change the direc-
tiOn of Powcll's thrust and the knife
sank into Dunsmorc'S cheek Just be-
low the eye. A hard pull at it made
it tear its way in 4 Semi-circular course
through the flesh, barring the cheek
bone for several inches. Dunsmore
clutchcd at the knife but missed it.and
Powell, still garrOtting him and re-
naming behind him, made another
job at his face, cutting the other cheek
in exactly the same manner. Before
he could strike again DunsmOrc, who
is muscular man, tore himself free
and, turning, made Il plucky fight
Almost as quick as thought he struck
Powell two tremendous blows in the
face with his good hand knocking him
back several feet into the open door.
The passengers by this time had come
to the rescue, and Powell was seized
just rs he was in the act Of attempting
to hurl Dunsmorc, who was greatly
weakened by the struggle, off the plat
form, and down Il high and rocky cm-
bankmcnt, along which the train was
rushing at the time. Powell returned
to the ear, and Dunsmorc, after giving
his word that he would use it only in
the proper performance of his duty,
borrowed u revolver with which he
brought the wretch to terms. At
Glasgow, Mo-. Powell was handed over
to the police, while Dunsmorc was
handed over to doctor, who pro.

RARE BOOKS.
Some Ancient Tones In Iowa-0ne Which
Dates from li70.

Dutcb lIOlh lfiV'
Mr.. Maxwell. state librarian. showed
a LcadCr reporter yesterday couple
of old books. About 1870 X. Pynson
had an "Abridgement des Livrcs An
males ct Reportes Cases en- lie Ley de
Angleterre' printed for him. There
is no title page. The book appears to
have been compiled by n. Statham,
and is digest of English law decis-
ion, chrOnologically arranged under
various divisions, but without much
order otherwise. The eases are CLEAN
ed from the Year books, running from
Edward |. to Henry VII. The type re-
sembles manuscript somewhat, and
has face something like the back
handed script of the typc-foundcrics.
Nearly every page contains numerous
manuscript additions, very neatly imi-
tating the type in which the book is
printed, and several manuscript pages
are inserted before the "tail. piece OF
the book. There are nearly five hun
drcd pages in all, and one would have
to be an excellent Latin scholar To
study the book with any satisfaction.
Another volume in the state library
respectable for its great age, is one
printed by Henry Smythe, at Temple
Bar, London, in the 37th year of Henry
VIII, or 1916. The title-pagc is in
Latin, and the contcnts-a law die
tionary-in the same tongue. The
type is old text. The following is "a
brief declaration of the table to the
readers
"Whcnsocvcr you be dcsyrous to

The COsmic Disturbance.

The fearful cyclones which have al

tion recall the prophecies of four and
five years ago. 1t will be remcm-
bcrcd that the approaching almost
simultaneous conjunction of the plan
cts in 1881, and the nearly contempor-
ancous pcrihclion passage of the great
planets Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune,
formed the basis of the most melan-
choly predictions. 1t was said that
storm, Hood, and earthquake, with
war, pcstilcnce, and famine, would
visit the purturbcd earth in more ter
rifle forms than any hitherto known to
man. The scientific world laughed to
scorn the vaccinations, and perhaps
wisely, if they were based on the
astronomical phenomena. At any
rate, it was shown that the world had
passed phenomena very similar, and
more than once, without any globe.
wide catastrophe, or any geodetic dis.
turbance worthy of especial notice.
But what shall be said? These dire
prophecies, and within the period
assigned to their fuliillmcnt, have been,
in Il sense, fulfilled. The earth has
been swept by storms in great number,
terrific in aspect and result, and hith.
erto exceptional in human experience.
Floods of uncxampled dimensions have
visited Europe and America, The
globe has been shaken as never before
in the memory of man, land and sea

so much in the fact to justify the

One thing is clear. The professional
astronomers may have been right in

Most farmers have Il few horscradish
roots growing in the grass, one of
which they dig and CRATE when they
want condiment to use on meat nj
the spring. They are not aware how
the roots are improved by cultivation.
A correspondent of The Country Cen
tlemdH writes about its culture as fol-
lows: This crop is one of the most
important raised by the market-garden-
ers living near the large cities and
villages, and with them it is generally
grown as second crop, succeeding
early cabbages, cauliilowcr, or beets.
There is hardly anything raised that
pays better when successfully cult
waited. The soil should be heavily ma
nured, deeply plowed, and made fine
by repeated harrowings. The land is
then marked in rows two feet apart. If
early cabbage is to be the first crop.
The cabbage should all be planted be-
fore commencing to put in the horse
radish, which is done by taking light
crowbar, and making holes six or eight
inches deep in the middle of the rows
between the cabbages, eighteen or
twenty inches apart. Into these holes
the sets are dropped so as to have the
tops two or three inches under the sur
face; the earth is then pressed against
the set so as to fill the hole. The
reason why the sets are put so far
under the surface, is to delay the
coming up of the radish until the crop
of cabbages has been taken off, or the
cultivation of them has ceased. If the
sets should start to grow and interfere
with the cabbages, the tops may be
cut off twice with the hoe. This does
not injure 1t at all, as it starts up
again freely. After the cabbage has
been harvested, one good hoeing will
generally suffice, as the leaves quickly
cover the ground. Early in Novem-
ber the roots can be dug (or left in the
ground until spring. by first plowing
deeply as near to rows as possible,
then using spading fork to free them
from the soil. tits prepared for sale by
cutting of the green tops and small
rootlets and washing the roots clean,
when it can be marketed, or put into
pits and keep over the winter like
other roots.
