contracts made for furnishing limo to
farmers. Preparations arc also mado
1or working numerous deposits of
mari, somo of which havo been tenn
porarily abandoned. Chalk is in de-
mand, and machines are in operation
for crushing it. In somc cases con-
tracts have been made with transporta-
ton companies for carrying it long
distances and in large quantities
The employment of lime for agricul-
tural purposes has been exceedingly
limited in most parts of this country
for various reasons. In the New Eng
land states the amount of limestone
was small and was poorly distributed.
That which did exist was difficult to
quarry and very hard to pulverizc. 1t
required to be burned before it could
be used, and the cost of transportation
rendered lis employment expensive.
In several Of tho states tho soil origin
ally contained so much lime that the
application Of it was unnecessary.
This was the case in Kentucky and
Tennessee. Chalk beds are somewhat
uncommon i'll this country, and those
that do exist have not been worked. A
few farmers in nearly every state have
used lime Ill some form, and have been
well satisfied with the result. In sew
eral of tho southern states lime is pre-
pared for agricultural purposes in 4
very simple manner. \ pile of logs
and brushwood Is made, thin pieces of
stone placed on top, and a fire started.
Tho result is Il mass of quicklimc and
ashes. These are 'cartcd of to the
fields and scattered sufficient time
before crop is planted 10 give the
lime chance to Stake. This method
of forming lime is prac,.cal whenever
fuel is cheap aud limestone is in the
immediate vicinity. 1t may not pay in
most of the western states to purchase
lime for applying TO land at the price
that builders pay for il. 1t is often the
case. however, that farmers can obtain
limo that has been wet or Looome air
slaked at nominal price. With this
they can experiment and ascertain its
value for producing grass, clover, and
cultivated crops. In most countries
the use of lime becomes necessity
after growing crops have removed from
the soil one of the most essential clc-
ments of plant nutrition.

DRESSING TIE HAIR.

The latest Partisan fashion for dress
ing the hair is to have it cut very short,
as it was worn in the early part of this
century by Mime. Rccamcr and Queen
llortensc. At fashionable reunions in
Paris the hair is arranged in this way,
and has bands or wrcaths of natural
flowers. Bands Of diamonds and brace
lets of precious stones are also placed
Hat against the hair. Some ladies
adopt the ScVignc coillurc. This style
IS very appropriate with toilets of vel
ours frappc, brocadc, and damask, with
very long trains. Queen Marie Chris
tine has also arranged coill'ure after
designs of the eighteenth century, and
tn" novelty has already met with con-
siderable success. The hair is divided
into three parts. The first forms small
curls over the forehead; tho second is
rolled back, and the third forms tuft
in the shape of q crown. The hair is
sometimes taken back of the forehead.
Curls are again worn in the back of the
neck, but only with low-ncckcd dresses.
Many young Parisian ladies powder
their hair.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Oct. 1O.-Argument
by counsel in the JacksOn-Sherman murder
case began in the circuit court yesterday
morning and was closed this morning by
has shown that the orchard and premises of
ceived the fatal shot, has for years been
subject to the raids of pilfering boys; that
the defendants father has lost heavily and
been greatly annoyed; that the defendant
for years had been in the habit. under in
structions of his father, presumably, of
watching the orchard with a loaded gun.
The defense also succeeded in establishing
the fact that young Sherman, the deceased,
had in his hands at the time he was shot a
gun, and that knowledge of this fact and
fear that the deceased was going to fire on
young Jackson, caused the latter to shoot.
Up to the hour of closing the arguments
and charging the jury the court room has
been packed with eager spectators, many
of whom have been ladies and friends of
the respective families of the deceased and
the accused, both of whom are old and es-
teemed residents of the county. Sympathy
has been about equally divided during the
trial. The youth of Jackson, who is only
20 years old, coupled with the supposed
fact of his having been under instructions,
and the further undisputed fact of great
provocation, has won him much sympathy.
The jury was charged at noon and on the
opening of court at 2 o'clock it rendered a
verdict of not guilty, which was received
with applause. The result of the trial is
very unsatisfactory to many.

DULUTH, Oct. 10.-The steamer Guideo
Pfster ran aground on Minnesota point
below the lighthouse between 10 and
and IL o'clock tonight. She came up
from Buffalo in the tow of the Rome, as
did also the schooner Red Wing. Two
tugs went down the lake about seven miles
to meet them and the tug Williamson was
successful in catching line from the Red
Wing, which was brought into port all
right, but the tug Paige did not succeed in
catching the Pfster, and the latter drifted
until she grounded as already given. At
the present writing (12:3O) she is beating
on the shore, but she will probably be taken
off tomorrow without sustaining any great
damage unless the storm increases. She
has 1,200 tons of coal. During the whole
day a strong northeastern wind has been
blowing and the lake has been very rough,
but the entrance to the harbor is so good
that unless there were bad Seamanship
somewhere the Pfister would have got in
safe. The Dove, which left Duluth for
Two Harbors on its regular trip this morn
ing, did not arrive until late in the after
noon, owing to the storm, and she did not
attempt to return. She now lies
in the docks at Two Harbors. Supt
Wrenshall of the Northern Pacific road
was here yesterday and will Immediately
begin the building Of new docks for that
company near the present warehouse. The
Northern Pacific has bought from the Du-
luth Improvement company property upon

being taken by the improvement for the
new system of slips, of which full account

HUDSON, Wis, Oct 10.-About two
weeks since Dan Page, well known young
man of this city, showed unmistakable
symptoms of insanity and at his own re-
quest was taken to the state asylum at
Mendoza. He had been sick for some time,
and was troubled with the thought that he
was going to die. Thursday telegram
was received stating that he had escaped
from the asylum. He was without money,
but managed to get through on the trains,
arriving Friday afternoon at North Wiscon-
sin Junction, from which place he walked
to his brother-in-law's, about half mile
distant. The preceding night he rode on
the platform of Chicago & Northwestern
mail car, until discovered by the engineer,
who took him in his cab, appreciating his
condition. When he reached Elroy he kept
himself out of sight of the railroad men
who might know him, for fear of being sent
back, and took train manned by strangers.
Friday night he came down town. and was
seen about 1 o'clock. Later he went to the
house of James Conavan, Jr., where he
slept soundly for some hours. He got up,
and. refusing breakfast, went out, after
bidding Conavan goodbye. and saying he
would not see him again. He was seen
IdleT ny d 10Y ucdT Iilo IulIu WdIu ScuOOl
house walking about eXcitedly. He sud-
denly took handkerchief out of his pocket
and tying one end around his neck and the
other to a limb of tree, threw himself for
ward on his knees. The alarm was given
and he was cut down, but not until he was
apparently dead. When he regained con-
sciousness he was raving. and had not the
precaution been taken to bind him securely,
somebody would have been hurt. He was
with difficulty got to the county Jail, where
he now is. He labors under the impression
some one has given him poison, and will
take no nonrishment for fear of fatal eff
fects. He will probably be returned to the
asylum. Page was at one time police
man here and made a first-class officer, and
is well known throughout this whole sec
ton. His brother, George, is now confined
in the Mendoza insane ASYLUM.

the most successful one in the history of
the club.
The st. Paul Lawn Tennis club has now
membership of forty-nine, and this num-
Der is fast being increased. Arrangements

BLUNT, Dak., Oct. 10.-The Methodist
Episcopal church conference for the Da-
kota mission is in session at this place,
Rev. Bishop Cyrus d. Foss, presiding.
Bishop E. G. Andrews is also assisting in
the work. The babyhood of the mission is

unanimous vote. Educational affairs are
receiving careful review by COM
mission of the ablest men of the
conference, together with Bishop Foss
and the presiding elders of the districts.
Bishop Andrews is chairman. A new open
corporation must take its place with new
directors. Mitchell will win, it is thought,
if the citizens will furnish half section of
land and building free from incumbrance.
Others bids and offers are ready. This
question and its solution are the leading
topics of the session. The missionary col
lectiOns for the year will exceed in amount
the most sanguine expectation of the elders.
All benevolences have been carefully
looked after. Watertown. Oak, will be
the seat of the next session. A. r. BOggs
was elected secretary.

Lacrosse Championship.

Yesterday there was a postal card re-
ceived from one of the Chicago lacrosse
players, saying that they expected to be
able to take away from ST. Paul on Satur-
day, Oct. 10, the championship lacrosse cup
that was won and is now retained by the
prowess Of the ST. Paul Lacrosse club, but
as there has been no challenge received to
date, and as Oct. 10 is the last day of the
season on which challenge is of power, it
is probable that no game will be played un-
til next season, and the cup will not be en-
dangered by being contested for between a
team that has had practice for month
and one that has been practising continually
the whole season.
