Notes.

Iowa farmers are offered cents pound for
heir butter, provided 1t is of extra quality.
An Indiana farmer has II pound colt, which
is perfectly formed and well ng.
Strawberries were profita6W shipped to Bos-
ton this year from southern Illinois.
California is the great bee state IN four
counties there are 500 bee farms and - annu-
al product off these farms Is between 4,oou.o0o
and 5000, 600 pounds of honey.
The strawberry patch must not be neglected
after fruiting any more than before it, II the
largest produetiveness is expected for next
wear. Clear up the rows.eo that the runners
which will now put forth may find place for
roofing. These young plants may afterward
be removed 10 a new bed, which in this way
can be formed every second year.
The Country Gentleman says: "There IS
iron enough in all soils to neutralize the arsen-

of any poisonous combination after IL enters

for potato Beetles as it is less likely to be inJur-
ious TO the user than when used dry, with

Reagan's Bill and the Monopolies.

New YORK, Jan. 27.-The passage Of Mr..
Reagan's bill by the house and the tone OF
several messages by western governors, in
dicates that the war against railroad corpora
tions has not ended. The situation invites
serious consideration in the public interest.
Before this interference began, the railroads
had been reducing their freight rates beyond
all precedent. The Chicago and New York
grain rate in 1865 aud 1866 ranged between
SO cents per 100 pounds, the highest, and 43
cents, the lowest, for the two years. By
1876 it had so fallen that 40 cents was the
highest, and IS cents the lowest. The average
in 1865 and 1896 was SO cents In 1876 it
was 90 cents, but the decision of the United
States court confirming the Granger laws,
which previously had been resisted by the
com panies as unconstitutional and invalid,
was expected by western producers to cause
great change in rates. It is a fact, how
ever, that since 1877 the reduction has been
much less than il was prior to that time.
Under the pressure Of necessity and feeling
compelled to defend themselves at any cost
the trunk lines adopted the pooling system
and have since laborcd with some measure
of success TO restrain the competition which
had previously reduced rates with such rapid
ity Accordingly. during the year 1884, 30
cents was the highest rate and Is cents the
lowest but the latter lasted but very short
time only, and the average of the year was
about % cents. 1t does not appear, there
fore, that legislative interference has resulted
benefcially TO the people, but it has wrecked
Il great many companies, and now threatens
TO wreck good many more.

the Judge dissolved the injunction, ordered
the records to be returned to Old Ashton,
aud instructed the county officers to
carry on the duties of their offices
at that place. When the issue as it now
stands Is scrutiniZed down to the facts
it wilt be found to have essentially the same
features that it did at that time. 1t will be
found that the perfdy that is charged upon
Representatives Day, MISSIONER, Miller and
others from this district is neither more nor
less than an issue that has been forced upon
these gentlemen since the election by the
very treachery of the Redield fellows them
selves. The county seat is now located on
eighty acres of farm land away from any
railroad station, the railroad towns being so
evenly distributed over the county that no
town has the power to obtain majority vote.
Two elections have been held without effect
ing removal. The construction of county
buildings cannot be delayed much longer.
The taxpayers throughout the county now
look to the legislature for such settlement Of
the county seat question as may seem equit-
able 10 that body. The Red6eld sentiment is

SHELDON SAFE.
News Received by Gov. Crittenden that
He is Safe in England.

NE is Dale Ill Euglduu'
KANSAS CITY, Jan. 27.-A jefferson City
dispatch from the Times CORRESPONDENT states
Gov. Crittenden has within few days re-
ceived letter from the British minister at
Washington informing him of Alfred Shell
don's arrival in England alive and well.
Mr.. Sheldon, who was resident of this city
and member of the Blue Springs Mill COM
pany, disappeared mysteriously on the night
of May 4, last. He was said to be short
$40, 900 in his accounts, and one theory was
that he had been kidnapped and was held
III til wealthy friends in England should make
up the deficits. Another theory was that this
was ruse on Sheldon's part to get away. At
the request of the British government,
through the state department at Washington,
Gov. Crittenden took active secret measures
for investigation of the case, and the rescue
of Sheldon If kidnapped as alleged. The
correspondent gives the following account of
the affair, which he asserts is from reliable
source:
On MAY 4tt, about midnight, two men
came 10 Sheldons house in buggy, arrested
him on a pretended warrant and took him
away. They were joined by two other men,
and the prisoner was carried TO place near
Blue Springs, and detained at camp in the
woods for several weeks. His captor mean
while compelling him to write to his friends
for money. The men demanded SO, 900.
At length one night member Of the gang
promised secretly to release him. The man
then took him to railway station near, gave
him SO and left him. Sheldon took the
train at the station, but the narrative does
not state where he went from there. The
conclusion is that Sheldon's captors were
| pressed so closely by the detectives that be-
coming alarmed they released their prisoner.
Sheldon's wife, who remained some time in
Kansas City, is now in England. Rumors
have arisen from time to time in this city
that Sheldon had been seen in various parts
of the state in disguise, but none of them
have been verified. The intelligence from
jefferson City at last establishes the fact that
! Sheldon is now in England.
