1t is said that many of the support

wormy and badly affected with dry
rot. The same is also true with much
of the political timber through out

Mr.. Gilman and his friends are
working earnestly and perhaps des-
perately to secure for him the guber-
Material nomination. Much as we
dislike to admit it, we can not help
thinking that at the present time, lie
is in the lead and the prospects good
for his nomination and election.
Many prominent politicians in the
state seem to think otherwise and
state that he is already defeated. How
ever, the friends of good government
and reform legislation should be on
the alert if they wish for the next
governor, a better man than Gilman.

Some men claim that they can
raise a colt as cheaply as they can a
calf and to far greater profit. A
farmer can, at least, keep one span of
mares and raise couple of colts or
so year with very little expense aud
his mares will do large amount Of
work besides. Especially Is this true,
if he has warm stables and is SO stu
ated that he can have the colts foaled
in the fall or early winter, and we be-
Iieye such colts will make better
horses than those dropped in the
spring: There are many sound argu-
ments in favor of winter breeding,
both of cattle and horses.-Monte-

FARM NOTES.
Eggs by Weight.

1t is annoying to the breeder OF
blooded and fine fowls to find, vixen
he offers for sale eggs nearly twice as
large as his neighbors, that they bring
no more per dozen than do the small
Ter ones. Also, the consumer is often
vexed to find that he must pay the
same price to-day for dozen weigh
ing a pound and half. Besides, an
egg from we'll fed fowl is heavier
and richer than one from common
towel that is only half fed, so that
weight compared to size is an indica-
ton of richness. Thus eggs of which
eight will weigh a pound are better
and richer than those of apparently
the same size, of which ten. are re-
quired for pound. Of course, with
eggs at four and five cents a dozen and
hundreds of dozens have been sold IN
past years at these figures), it is not
much matter as to the size; but when
the price ranges from twenty-five to
fifty cents per dozen, it is a matter
worth looking after. 1t is high time
that this old style of selling and buy
ing eggs was discontinued. 1t is
relic of the past, and reminds us of
the time when dressed hogs sold for
dollar each without regard to size,
and were dull sale at that. Insist
upon it, then, you who raise poultry
and eggs for market, that the price
for eggs shall be so much per pound,
and then it will be some inducement
to farmers to raise q better class OF
fowls, and all will get what is their
lust due.-American Rural Home.

DAMAGING TpsT1MoNY
ElloIted In the Maxweil-PreIler Murder
Case-The Prisoner Cornered on
All Important Points.

ST. Louis, May 27,-Maxwell took the
witness stand this morning, and was cross
examined. The prosecution cornered him
In statement after statement, and utterly
demolished the story he told yesterday.
He stood convicted by himself of decep-
tion, fraud, forgery and lying, habitually
lying TO his nearest friends TO feed his pitt
full vanity and to gain his ignoble ends.
Without blush, with an unconcern which
is not 40 marvellous as 1t is monstrous, he
admitted TO lie after lie nailed TO his rec
ord. His testimony to-day compared with
that OF yesterday may be summed up
thus He says. ~ killed my friend
by accident and yet saw him die un-
der his own hand without call for help.
He says: ut was my friend, who had help
ed and cheered me, that killed by acci
dent, " and yet robbed him Of his
and horror" and yet he stripped the body
and forced 1t into a trunk; he slept in the
room with IL and left IL to rot in conceal
ment. He says: ~ loved my friend and
mourned for him, and yet. he mercilessly
drew the scalpel across his breast and
was so dazed with terror and
sorrow that / did not know
what was doing and yet he could talk Of
fast women feed his vanity ON monstrous
lies, wear his clothing, spend his money on
jewelry and on wine and women, ant gloat
over his deed while pretending TO mourn
for his friend. He asks the public and the
jury TO believe his story Of accidental kill
ling, In the light OF robbery, lust and
lying Contradiction after contradiction
has condemned him in the eyes OF every
one. Brooks remained on the stand
until four O'Clock, when Mr.. Martin, OF his
attorneys, went ON the stand to testify as
TO his correspondence with Mccullough,
the detective, who went into the Jail and
wormed a confession out of the prisoner.
Mr.. Martin swore that he had no wrong mo-
tives In the matter A number OF expert
witnesses are yet 10 be examined, and IL is
expected that the case will go to the jury
next Tuesday.

WITH A NOISE LIKE THUNDER
The Whole Interior of Mill FallssIn-
A Loss OF Hundred Thou
sand Dollars.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, May 2s.-Last
evening terrific noise was heard in the
Valley City Mills On investigation it
proved to be the giving away of the over
oaded floors. The whole interior of the
nuge structure fell into the basement, and
large portion Of the contents was soon
swept away by the mill race out into the
Grand river, leaving the lofty mill like an
empty egg she'll There were stored in i'm
mense bins in the second, third and
fourth stories of the mills be-
tween 1900 and 10000 bushels of wheat
and about thirty tons of bran, all weighing
500 tons. In the western portion of the
building was the milling machinery of the
most improved and costly styles, portion
of 1t having been put in but a year ago, at
an expense of $4,000. All this plunged down
into the basement in the general destruc-
tion. The timbers and machinery in fall
ing broke through the west side of the
building, facing the river, making gap
in the wooden walls fifteen feet wide and
twenty to thirty feet high A smaller gap
was also made in the wall on the east side.
The damage Is estimated at from SS0,00O to
100000. The mills were insured to the
amount of s50,000, but the insurance is
worthless, as ii only covers damage by
fire. A new mill will be erected at once.
The disaster occurred by the timbers yield
ing in the first story and forcing the up
rights, the whole came down.

OTTAWA, OFT, May 27.-In addition to-
the 500, 900 already voted this season for
the protection OF the fisheries against the
intrusion OF American fishermen, the Gov
ernment last night asked Parliament 10
make further grant of $4,000 to enable
them to make the service more effective.
In the House of Commons to-day Hon. Mr..
Foster Minister of Marine, in reply to a
question, said that six steamers and SIX
schooners are being fitted out to protect
the Canadian fisheries. The instructions to
the masters of these vessels are to cruise
around the coasts to protect the inshore
fisheries from the encroachments of the
toreign fishing vessels, especially those OF

HERR MOST GUILTY.
An Anarchist Who Will Have a
Grievance Now,
And Learn Something of the Law He De-
nounces.

New YoRK, May 2s-Herr Most was
brought to court this morning handcuffed
to thief His associates, Schenck and
Braunschweig, were with him. The court
room was crowded. Most looked very saw
age and scowled viciously at every person
his eyes fell upon. 1t was said that he was
greatly annoyed at the spread of the state
ment which the official journal of the So
cialistic party has been giving publicity to,
that for years he MOST was in the
pay OF the German Government, and
that his presence in this country was
for the purpose of destroying
the labor movement here. Adolph Schenck,
one OF the prisoners, took the stand. He
stated that he understood that the object
OF the meeting was to advise the use of
arms against force, that il blow should
be struck against them they should strike
back. The purpose OF the meeting was also
TO protest against such action as had
been taken in st. Louis, when hired
deputy sheriffs shot down men and
women. The meeting was that of
the International Mems Rifle Club.
The witness said he was an Anarchist.
He knew the meaning of the word. Just
now he believed in the Government of the
United States. 1t suited him, but IL did
not suit every person else. Witness did
not place Most and George Washington on
an equal place in governmental affairs.
The prisoner Braunschweig took the stand
and said that he was at work when arrested.
When he entered the meeting Most was
speaking, and when he mad finished the
witness spoke In German for ten minutes.
In his remarks he declared that the pres
ence OF police ut workmen's meeting in
free America was s'shame. He never
mentioned anything OF bombs or
guns. He did not know whether he was an
Anarchist or not. He agreed with a great
many OF Most's sentiments as published in
Freiheit. 1--WE say openly we despise NOR
ality so-called,n read the Prosecuting At
torney from the Freheit "Do you agree
with that sentimentlr mo, we want to
keep morality said Braunschweig. The
witness did not believe In robbery, arson
and murder, and said that he was not in
sy mpathy with those who would use force.
But when man was hungry and his fami-
" starving, he must do something,
The defense declared that this ended
their case. Surprise was expressed that
Most did not take the stand. Most
then addressed the jury in his
own behalf. The jury then found
the whole three guilty Of the charge in the
indictment = misdemeanor = and recon-
mended Schenck to the mercy of the court.
The prisoners will be sentenced ON Wednes-
day next.

MAXWELL ON THE STAND.
He TestInes In His Own Defense In Refer
ence to the Death of Proiier.

He Testihes In His Own Defense In Refer
ence to the Death of Proiier.
ST. Louis, May % The defense opened
to-day In the MAXWELL Preller murder trial.
Al ten o'clock Mr. Fauntleroy made the
opening statement for the defense and at
It's conclusion the prisoner went on the
stand and gave u detailed description o'
his meeting Preller, and tho latters death
under the administration of chloroform,
His testimony was given naturally, and
a lawyer would pronounce him cap
ital witness as far as the beginning
of his testimony displayed his abil-
ity. As the story progressed the strain
under which he was placed only showed
itself in dry lips and damp fingers, and
when he called particular attention to
himsalf by stating that he was no more
nervous at certain time than he was
while speaking, no one could say that 1t
would be noticeable in casual glance.
Stripped of its verbiage, his statement
amounted TO this: That he and Preller
were good friends, ard that they met in
St Louis by agreement to take trip
20 California together; that he
undertook TO perform adelicate operation
upon Preller with the latter's consent, and
that he died while under the influence Of
chloroform.s He was horror-stricken and
began TO drink heavily to drown his
trouble. He packed the body in the trunk,
took all the money Preller had and fed to
California. His eccentric actions there
after ha attributed to the excessive use of
liquor. The Testimony was substantially
the same as his confession published here
tofore He was on the stand up to six
O'Clock, when court adjourned.

DROUGHT IN TEXAS.
Cattle Dying In Forty Eight Counties
Grain Crops n Failure.

ofhh Ofops
FoRT woRTH, Tex, May 97.-The unpre-
cedented drought throughout North and
West Texas continues, Reports received
from forty-eight counties in the dry sec
tion show the crops to be almost entirely
a failure. In many counties there will
hardly be corn enough raised to re-
place the seed, while in others the wheat
and oats crops are entire failures.
The Oldest settlers say that this is the
longest drought this season known in the
history OF Texas, In most counties there is
no grass at all and stock water is getting
very scarce. The range is not las good now
as II was in February last. In regard to
the mortality pf cattle sonvthe. trails and
the great ranches Of the West little that is
authentic can be obtained. Reports agree,
however, that the plains are covered with
dead carcasses, and that hundreds of head
are dying daily OF starvation and thirst.
Many herds are too weak to be driven TO
water
