The Verdict.

Judge Brown as coroner, together
with jury of six citizens, repaired
yesterday morning to the scene Of the
mysterious death OF J. Rockert, which
occurred on DIR. Byall's sheep ranch
ON Cow creek. The camp where the
deceased was lying and where he died
Is about eleven miles from the home
ranch. The body was duly examined
and after the examination of the two
witnesses, Mr.. Byall and ID. NJ. Castle
berry, and jury returned verdict Of
death from natural cause. The sub
stance Of the evidence given by the
two witnesses Is as follows: On Thurs
day night the sheep (which had been
in the care Of the deceased) arrived. in
the vicinity of the home ranch, ac-
companied only by one dog. This
was very unusual occurrence. The
sheep were corralled and ID. NJ. Castle
berry was dispatched to Rockert's
camp to discover the reason Of his alb
sence. The deceased was discovered
by him to be dead. 1t being then 8
o'clock at night nothing could be done
until the next morning friday when
he came to town and notified the cor
oner. There was not the slightest
reason to suspect foul play, the COM
posed appearance of the dead man,
who lay with his arms folded across
him, was plain proof that he had died
probably without struggle. On the
arrival Of the coroner and jury at the
camp yesterday morning one of the
dogs belonging to the deceased was
found laying across his body carefully
guarding him against all intrusion.
The faithful animal. Notwithstanding
that there was plenty Of food within
his reach. had plainly not eaten any
thing since the deceased's death, and
it was only with the greatest difficulty
that he was dislodged from his posi-
ton. The body was brought to town
and given over to the care of the
society Of the A. o. H., Of which order
the deceased was q member. At their
instigation DIR. Lebcher made q post
norton examination Of the dead man
aud gave as his opinion that death
had resulted from Inflammation OF the
right lung. The deceased was man
So years old and was born in Tippe-
rary, but no further clue to his private
affairs could be gained. He will be
buried to-day by the members of the
society Of the A. o. H. In the Roman
Catholic cemetery.

A Good Move By the Northern Paela

A Good Move By the Northern Pacific.
The Northern Pacific railroad COM
pany have at last decided to build
stock yards on the reservation at q
distance Of about one mile from the
railroad bridge. This will make them
about one mile from the main line,
and will necessitate spur being built
from the new yards to the track. The
decision on the part of the company
will prove to be source Of great salts
faction to those who do their shipping
from this point and will probably be
the means of causing much greater
number Of stock being shipped from
this point. For long time the COW
men In the surrounding country
have endavored to prevail upon the
railroad company to change the
location of the stock yards on account
of the many inconvenience with
which they are beset In driving stock
to the present yards. The new loca-
ton will do away with this fault to q
great extent, and this being the case
1t sto be hoped that they will be liber-
ally used.

Attention, Buyers.

Perhaps but few people know that
there lie "a branch clothing house here,
Of one Of the largest factories In New
York city, but such is fact, and the
I X l. clothing house Is an homer to
the Yellowstone valley. While
strolling through the city taking
items, We naturally were attracted by
the immense stock of goods kept by
that firm, and people have no further
necessity to send back east for any
thing In the line Of mems. boys aud
childrens' clothing. Shirt waists, over
shirts, white shirts, underwear, SELF,
Schwabe & Co.'s boots and shoes,
Stetson hats in all styles and shades.
and In fact everything belonging to q
first class city store, and at such
prices that we are forced to admit that
we are no longer in the west as far as
high old prices are concerned and
which other firms still demand, for
goods Of similar kinds. II Is not Of
prices alone that we wish TO make
mention, but of the fine class of goods,
especially in clothing, equal in every
respect to tailor made goods, they can
certainly sell them as low as any
house in Chicago. to say nothing Of
houses In this section. We were
shown white shirts, underwear, neck
wear, silk handkerchiefs, as fine as
taste and money can procure, and who
does not know the celebrated boots
and shoes Of Selz, Schwabe & Co., Of
Chicago, or J. B. Stetson's Hat? In
fact we could use almost unlimited
space in enumerating the many now
elites kept by this firm, for whom we
predict grand future. For with such
advantages as they possess all others
must yield in time. People will find
it to their interest to look them over.
Everything has . plain mark. The
members Of the firm treat everyone
alike and we trust that our advice
will govern all the buyers of goods in
this line to 60 the 1 X L store, corner
Of Park and Main streets, for what
they should require, that Is II they are
desirious Of buying first class goods at
away down eastern prices. =

A Detectives Successful DeCOy.

A clerk named Stevenson, Oc-
cupying a responsible position in
Buffalo, was bounded by the Guar
antee Company of North America
for $4,000. lie was short in bis ac-
counts and skipped to Canada
The company resolved to bring
him back, and the plan adopted
was as novel as it was ingenious.
Grove, bright young Irishman,
was sent to make Stevenson's ac-
quaintance, and was with him near
ly a month before an opportunity
presented itself where the defaulter
could be enticed to venture near
the line. Exactly in the centre of
the Detroit River is an island,
which the boundary line divides.
Grove arranged a fshingexpedition
with his associate and the two men
were to row out in the river, fishing
during the trip. Before starting,
however, Grove found the boat
they were going to use, and boring
a small anger hole in the bottom,
fitted in a tight wooden plug. Full
of glee and Canadian rum, Steven
son procured the fishing tackle, land
little dreaming that he was leaving
his retreat for the last time, rode
out on the rIppling river. When
nearing the island Grove made a
ruse of searching for something in
the bottom Of the boat and pulled
out the plug. OF course the men
must either drown or 60 to the
as the boat was rapidly fill
ing with water. They pulled to-
ward the little patch of ground and
reached it just as the boat sank

consciously walked over the bonn.

when Grove covered him with
a six.shooter and signalled an Off

shore. When Stevenson saw how

resigned himself and quietly re-
turned to Buffalo, where he was

Consumers Must be Producers.

How can we have a nation of
consumers unless we are at the
same time a nation of producers 7
Consumers who do not produce are
of no benefit to society, are only
pests like the aristOcracy Of Europe.
And then one can not be a cOnsum-
er unless he produces or steals
Otherwise where would he get the
money to buy? All the men en-
gagedin our wooden and other in
dustries are consumers, every one
of them, but they are also pro-
ducers. If you destroy the in
dustries in which they are now en-
gagged, in the interest or foreign
manufacturers and wOrkmen, these
men will DO consumers of other
peoples products if they can obtain
the money to purchase them. If
they can not, they can go to the
almsbouse and consume the pro-
ducts of their neighbOrs, taxed to
support them. That is the only
possible issue of Free Trade, un-
less the wOrkmen Of the United
States are willing to work for the
wages paid to the pauper tOilers of
Europe. In Free Trade Belgium,
where the starving workmen were
shot down by the military the other
day, these wOrGmen make only 30
and 40 cents a day. They never
see meat; the only substitute there
for is a little horse sausage thrice a
a week, which they do not have in
quantity even to eat, but
useit as a "relish" or seasoning for
the black bread on which they live.
This has been proven in the govern
ment investigation Of the condition
of these people, If the products Of
these forty.cent-a-day paupers be |
admitted duty free into this coun-
try how long can the American
pay his workmen two
dollars day ~. \. Tablet

When 10 Plant clnants.

The autumn of the year, about
November, is the best time for
planting out young currant and
gooseberry trees and at the most
they should not be more than three
years from the cutting, or, if older
than this at the time of planting,
they should be cut back a little to
strengthen the growth of the new
wood. But, to be more in order,
it is perhaps Of the cuttings them
selves that we should first speak.
In the wane Of the year, choose
some good straight young shoots,
healthy and well-grOwD, of about a
foot in length or little over; and
from The part that you are about

soil, cut carefully out all the eyes
and buds. as this will afterwards
serve TO prevent suckers growing

MANFRED will do admirably we'll for
your young cuttings. Take care
TO plant them firmly in, but not in
a too sunny situation. BY the end
of the following summer they will
have sent out some two or three
good shoots. By the end of the
first year, that is to say, about |
November, prune the young shoots
slightly back, and in two years.

tination, though they can stand

such a dripping season, there was
an immense growth of grass, but
the season has been the worst pos
sible for curing it. The early
mowings, clover and orchard grass
have been damaged or ruined.
Perhaps this may direct the at.
tentiOn of farmers to ensilage, as
a much less precarious way of say
ing such valuable and perishable
forage as clover.
There were very few reports on
cotton and peanuts, as will be seen
in the tabular statement. The
prospect for fruit is not good, es-
pecially for grapes and peaches
injured by continued wet. Such q
season has not visited us in half a
century, and lis to be hoped will
never recur.
Cattle and other farm stock have
done well.
But believing as do that there
will be a short corn crop in Vir-
ginia and that good feed for cattle
and horses will be very scarce
much of the wheat and oat straw
damaged by mould would urge
upon the farmers the policy Of
securing everything in the way of
forage that can be made available
and putting it away safely for
winter use. If there is any bright
straw, rick it carefully or house it.
Gut and save all the coarse hay
possible, and the aftermath, and
corn, fodder, millet, pea-vines. The
last make the finest hay that can
be-botter than choice timothy. 1t
will all be wanted.
And before concluding | would
commend the advice given by the
Corn Exchange, "to
thresh no wheat that is not per-
fectly dry. Wait Keep waiting
until the straw and grain get bone
dry! When prices are low and
dealers careless about buying, it is
then most necessary to be particu-
lar about the order in which pro-
duce is brOupht to market.

Why Mr.. POWdeHy Never Looks Around.

81 never answer or look around
when a man speaks to me or calls
my name from behind,D said Mr..
7. V. Powderly the other day.
"You may think this odd, but the
fact is | haven't time. am so fol
lowed and worried that if stopped
every time | am called should not
have time enough to attend to my
legitimate duties. People want TO
see me and talk to me on every
possible subject, and most of them
have something to say which is of
no possible interest or Importance
to me, either in my official or pri-
vate capacity. Generally they want
to get from me an endorsement of
some scheme or article in which
they are interested, and all sorts of
inducements are offered. A short
time ago it was necessary for me to
be absent from home for several
weeks on business of the Knights
of Labor. While | was away my
house in Scranton was over-run, as
usual, by callers, who loosened the
hinges of the gate, wore ont the
front door step and ruined the dis.
position of my family. Most of
them, when told / was away, quiet
ly went away themselves. One
fellow, however, who was agent
for some kind Of soap or starch,
wouldn't believe my folks and es-
tablished himself Oppositemy house
which he watched every day for
over a week in the vain hope of
getting a recommendation from me
that might have some weight in in
Producing his goods among the
hundreds of thousands of members
of our order. Finally, on one Sat
urday night he gave it up and lett
Scranton on an evening train. On
a later train that evening | arrived

capped the soap man."-Phila. Press.

Farm and Household.
WASTE IN FENCES.

A contributor of the Home and
Farm says that during the last
twenty years he has greatly re-
duced the cost of fencing on his
farm, and has come to the conclu-
sion that half the money spent for
fences is wasted. He has saved
the most from reducing the amount
of inside fencing. His farm con-
tains ninety acres, and he has
thrown sixty acres of it into one
field, and has not turned an ami
NAL ON 1t for twenty years. The
writer says al have found it cas-
Ter to keep this land up to a high
state of productiveness than it l
had pastured it. rely largely on
clover to fertllize it, and in most
seasons, by not pasturing after
harvest, | can get as heavy a growth
of clover as those farmers who
pasture their young clover after
harvest do in tine following June.
I consider that this land grows
three crops in every two years, for
get one OF corn and one of wheat,
and a clover crop which grows
after the wheat crop is cut, and
which / believe to be worth, ON an
average, as much in proportion to
cost as the grain crops. | find
this land is improving under this
rotation. This idea that all the
land on the farm must be pastured
and every fence made hog-tight,
has cost our farmers millions OF
dollars" This writer recommends,
if the farmer wishes to have some
clover pasture, or to pasture a por-
ton of his large field, that he get
a good portable fence like that
advertised in the Ne'o ENGLAND Far
mer). With this he can temporari-
ly fence off portions of his field.
Glover managed in this way will
not only benefit the land more, but
also will furnish more feed than if
always kept cropped short. The
best grasses for early pasture are
blue grass, orchard grass and red
top. These all start early, and
grow rapidly in the cool, moist
weather of spring; they are not
much injured by tramping, and
will bear heavy stocking early, if
the stock can be tdrned off as hot,
dry weather approaches, and this
will give them a chance to grow
up again for tall pasture. The
portable fence gives an Opportuni-
ty to fence off portions Of the pas
ture to have a chance to grow
while the cattle are feeding on
other portions, or on some corner
of clover patch.
To the farmer who has always |
kept his farm fenced In permanent |
fields, the plan seems difficult, but
any one who tries it will be pleas
ed with it, and would not 60 back |
to the fence plan if he could do it |
at no expense. The work of keep |
ing fence-rows clean and fences in |
order, and the loss Of the use of
land occupied by the fences, foot |
up quite an item of Improbable |
expenditure on a farm in year, to |
say nothing of the money invested
in the fences. "On a small farm
like mine / find it cheaper to main
tain but two permanent enclosures
and not overstock my pasture, and
always grow an acre or so Of fod-
der corn and a good pumpkin
patch, so as to be prepared to give
a little extra food on the pasture
in case Of a drought. Speaking,
then, from long experience, advise
every farmer to try part of his
farm without fences, and see if the
difficulties which he fears are not
largely imaginary
