An old man name,3 Gain died at Ne

An old man named Cain died at New
ton on Saturday morning, who was re-
markable in many respects. He was 80
years of age at the time of his death, but
his hair had not begun to turn gray
He was never sick in his life, and until
within the last few years his step was as
elastic as if he was still in his YOUTH
His death was not the result of old age,
but came from cold which he caught
while at work around the barnyard. He
was never SO we'll off that he could dis
continue labor or enjoy these little lux
uries which are necessity to age. One
of his sons has been horelessly insane
for years and the old man took charge
of the family and worked every day up
to the time of his death. His vigor and
endurance were the wonder of every one
and were his circumstances such that be
could receive the attentions which old
age demanded, he would reach 100 years.
At 20 he was as robust and youthful as
ordinary men at the age of 40.

A NUMBER of Manitowoc county dele
gates met by chance in front of the post
office on Monday afternoon and it was
feast of reason and flow of soul for
some time. John Carey was one of the
number and was at his best, full of anec-
dote and humor. Schmitz took hand
in and acknowledged he was Irish. 1t
was decided that Dennis of Sheboygan
should not be recognized as Irish and
finally Carey insisted he was the only
Simon pure Irishman in the whole dele
cation, whereat Mich. Murphy felt that
he was sure of victim for the Oshkosh
asylum. Will Rahr intimated that if he
were shaved and ''f1ed up he would
pass for an Irish delegate and thus give
the Emerald Isle a majority in the con-
gressional convention. The boys all
agreed to go on "big one' if they could
''fetch Villas" at the convention and
have their own candidate to vote for at
the special election. After making it
"Vilas for four weeks" if necessary they
dispersed.

Mr.. Villas had solid delegation from
first class men, just such body as one
would like to entrust with his interests.
It must be gratifying to Mr.. Villas who
left here years ago under the impression
that Manitowoo county was ungrateful,
to return comparative stranger to the
men in power ana find that they recog-
nize in him man deserving of leadership
and support.

The Chronicle errs in its classical love.
The Pilot might properly typify the
beautiful Venus, barring her infdelitv.
as indeed the Northwestern may aptly be
compared with Vulcan. But there was
nothing illicit in the embraces of Vulcan
and Venus, and in this respect The
Chronicles allegory is at fault. Each
paper must search elsewhere for yoke
fellow.

IT Eaust be by some dispensation of
Providence that a number of boys did
not get into the river on Sunday. They
were determined to walk on ice which
was breaking up and the lads would rise
and fall with the waves. The movement
of the ice made the dangerous position
a novelty. The parents of those boys
should ''paddle" them a little when they
hear of indulgence in such foolhardy
escapades.

REPORTS from winter wheat regions
are to the effect that in most places the
crop went into the winter in good condi-

has been some winter killing. The acre
age is not at all in excess of that of 1885.
though the condition of the crop is some

CONSIDERABLY feeling against Sheboy-
gan county exists because of its treat
ment of Mr.. Villas in the matter of the
congressional nomination. He had no
purpose to enter the contest if there was
to be any protracted strife, and in fact
yielded to the solicitations of friends.
The assurances of Sheboygan decided
him. They pledged him the county
without opposition and knowing that his
own county could be relied upon he en-
tered the contest only week before the
convention was held, feeling certain that
these counties united would settle the
affair by few ballots. But Sheboygan
went squarely back on its pledges after
having been largely instrumental in in
ducing Mr.. Villas to stand for the nomi-
nation. If this is not duplicity what is it?

Market Gardening.

A sensible writer in Practical Farmer
saws the great point in market gardening
ls 10 raise early crops at the least cost.
When this can be done the profits are
GOOD and the business a paying one. The
early crops can only be secured by work
early and late, regardless Of the weather.
The cost of producing crops must be less
ened by the use of improved implements,
thorough manurlng and judicious use Of
every foot of land.
The selection of land for market gar
den is also an important consideration in
the matter of success or failure. ProX-
unity to market is of the first Importance
and a suitable soil the next. AS much
manure is produced in the city stables
ana as it will have to be carted to the
country, 1t is economy for the gardener to
truck his own produce TO the city and
bring back load OF manure. Early Vege-
kables will as a rule thrive best in edeep
handy soil; it will warm up we'll, and by
generoUs fertilizing will have advantage
bver heavier soil of equal fertility in the
maturity Of crops grown on it. The soil
mould be deep, thoroughly pulverized
md free from etagnant water. Soil that's
ret and cold late in the spring is useless
or market gardening unless it can be
emedied by thorough drainage. In a
compact heavy soil the tiles should be
learer together than in a loose sandy soil,
tut IN both cases they should be laid
veil out of the reach of the frost and the
Blow.
The first step to be taken in preparing
hesoil, if a shallow one, is to deepen it
" pIowing to the depth of or 10 inches
n the fall an foltgwing this with su b.
Ioiling pillow. At(IT it to remain over
winter, subiecsf . the action of the frost.
In the spring the ground should be thor
Sughly narrowed and a heavy coat of
manure we'll plowed in. A good crop to
urther improve this soil and render it fit
Tor market gardening is potatoes, and if
the pillow and culhvators are kepttO work
all summer the soil will be kept in pref
.ty fair condition for early crops, but it, will
take two or three years to bring it up to its
best state. An abundance Of well-rOtted
manure will also keep up the fertility of
the soil and produce good paying crops.

In late case where it appeared that
shipper of goods by railroad had for Is
years paid excessive rates of freight With
out objection the New York Court OF APP
peals held that the shipper could not re-
cover the excess. The court said: ''The
common law duty Con the part OF railroad
cOmpanies) does not preclude special
contracts between railroad corporations
and shippers regulating the freight
charges; and where, as in this case,
freight has been carried for long course
OF years at the schedule price, the shipper
making no objection and no inquiry as to
the reasOnableness OF the charge and
where it was his interest to object If the
charge was unreasonable, he must be
deemed to have assented to the charge as
reasonable and to have voluntarily waived
any objection thereto, At least the re-
ceipt by the company Of the freight at the
tariff rate under such circumstances has
no element of eXtorsi0n."
