Cotton Culture.

ED. INDEX: 1t seems that a good
many take an interest in cotton culture
and seek information on this subject.
AS your valuable paper furthers any
thing beneficial to our county, l wish
TO satisfy all questions through your
columns, and thereby answer all letters
and postals addressed to me in regard
to cotton. The result OF my expert
ence, so far, is above all my expecta-
tons. My cotton is as good, if not bet
ter, than l have seen in Tennessee,
Alabama and parts of Mississippi.
Some 1 planted the last days of April,
and it is so rank, heavy and full of
bolls, that good many stalks lean to-
ward the ground and must be sup
ported. In order to support the stalks
the ground should be laid by like we
do with corn. AT the same time. |
planted three rows of different seed
from the first, but covered it too heavy
and had very poor stand. So the
5th of June, plowed the ground over.
replanted and in six days the cotton
was all up and is now almost as high
as the first planted. In order to give
the bolls longer time to open and in
crease the crop, it should be planted
during April, if not before. Next year.
l will plant the first row of cotton as
soon as danger from frost is over and
then one row every two weeks after the
first planting, until the middle of May,
and then watch the result
The culture of cotton requires little
more work than corn and for a start,
can be done with small harrow, cul-
tivator and heel sweep to lay the
ground. After one or two years ex-
perience, when advisable, the proper
implement should be used. The pick
ing is more expensive than gathering a
corn crop.
Ground which was in wheat, oats
or rye last year or this year and
the green weeds plowed under, will in
sure good crop in even an extremely
dry season. One acre of cotton like
my first planted row will yield two 500
pound bales. The seed can be sold to
oil factories. Fifteen hundred pounds
of raw cotton will make five hundred
pounds of lint cotton and one thousand
pounds of seed; but a good quality will
make six hundred pounds of cotton and
nine hundred pounds of seed.
In the agricultural report of Kansas
for 1884, yOu will find $50 acres were
planted in cotton in some southeastern
counties which averaged $1,000 per
acre, while the corn only averaged
S9.l3 per acre for the whole state.
From time to time 1 will report to all
interested parties.

Mrs. Cleveland was recently asked
for an expression of her views as to the
prOpriety of women's signing the tenn
perance pledge. Here is her answer:
The subject to which you refer and
ask my advice is one in which your own
conscience must dictate the wisest
course for yourself to pursue. You
have better opportunities for knowing
how you can do the most good, and, it
seems TO me, that should be the stand
ard by which we women should settle
all our great questions in life. 1t rare
ly occurs that woman needs for her
self the restraining influences of tenn
Terance pledge; but if by placing our
selves under the obligations of such an
organization we can better help our
fathers. brothers, lovers and friends,
think there should be no hesitation in
the matter. / know something of the
Good Templars, and that they do much
good work. 1t is quite certain you can
do no harm by casting your lot on the
side of temperance, and you may do
much good. L do not consider it a
small matter by any means, and l am
glad you asked me the question. 1t is
encouraging to know of every sister
who wants to add her strength to the
cause which, happily, some day will rid
our land of ruined men and broken fam
lilies. Very truly yours,

emption days" ere this. :. We under

ANOTHER MEXICAN OF

! 1NOIHER MEXICAN OUTRAGE.
Now that the Cutting case is off of
the boards, that other Mexican outrage
will demand attention. Ie has been in
correctly termed the ''Rasures Case,
but the name Of the murdered man is
Francisco Arresuris. who declared his
intention Of becoming an American cit
izen in 1888. at Eagle Pass, Texas. On
the night of July 2G. 1886, he was ar
rested by the sheriff of Maverick coun-
ty, Texas, and Immediately turned over
to the state rangers of COahuila, who
incarcerated him in the city Jail, he be-
ing charged with horse-stealing. The
next day, Arresuris appealed to the L.
:. consul, +. ID. Linn, for protection.
Linn inquired Of the sheriff who made
the arrest, his authority. The reply
was that il was made on warrant is
sued by the judge of Maverick county,
and that Arresuris was delivered to the
Mexican officers in obedience to that
warrant. The consul then applied to
Capt. MondragOn for the prisoners re-
lease, but that officer. who is a captain
Of the rangers, absolutely refused to
comply with the request, and the next
day secretly ordered that Arresuris be
shot. His order was executed. The
consul then demanded the body, for
the family of the deceased. 1t was dis
inferred and the arms found TO be pin
Toned To the sides and the prisoner
blindfolded. The Mexicans claimed
that Arresuris was killed while at
tempting to escape. 1t afterwards
turned out that Mondragon and Ares
urls had a grudge against each other of
long standing, and it is claimed that
the charge Of DEMONSTRATING was with
out foundation, and only tIumped up
that Arresuris could be arrested anddC-
livered TO the Mexican authorities.
The blame is not alone with Mondra-
gon, either, for the sheriff of Maverick
! county turned over the prisoner with
out authority, 10 extraditiOn papers
having been prepared and served Tn
him. This would appear to be the case
more properly calling for investigation
by the United States government than
the Cutting case.

Mr.. Anthony Shoe Is clerk In a coal.
oil factory at Allentown, Pa. Some little
time ago he was so unfortunate as to lose
the amialle Mrs. Shoe, who, before she
died, laid especial emphasis upon GER
tain ante-mortem instructions to the eff
feet that she was not to be buried under
any circumstances in the family lot. Mrs.
Shoes prejudice against this particular
burying- ground was based upon the fact
that the lot aforesaid was uncomfortable
wet, being frequently flooded with water
when the river happened to be unusually
high. So strongly was Mrs. Shoe dis
posed to insist upon obedience to her
wishes in this matter that sha
solemnly declared before she took
her departure to another and
presumably a better world that il
the damp cemetery did receive her re-
mains she would "spook" her husband and
children. Nevertheless she was buried In
the objectionable graveyard, and, In full
fillment of her promise she has been en-
gagged ever since in making existence as
wretched as possible for her IN
happy spouse. She makes night

and hovers over the cribs of the children

ing them out of their wits. The annoy
ance became at last so serious that Mr..
Shoe appealed the other day to the police,
and he SAYS that if they can not do any
thing for him he will have TO dig the old
woman up again and plant her in drier
spot, where she can rest peacefully in her
grave.

a candidate for probate judge in our
corner of the county. 1 should not be

The Coldwater Star came out, last
week, printed with blue ink, on tinted
paper. The occasion was a celebration
of that papers entrance upon the third
year of its existence. 1t took occasion
to give the town and county general
review, and write up the history of the
leading business men. Such issues of
a newspaper are of immense advantage
to the community where they are pub
lished, but the labor and expense
generally fall heavily upon the pub
Usher. If the publisher, in this in
stance, has made no money, we hope
he has accumulated lots of ''honor.' .

Poor old Harper! On the Goth of July
special election was held at Harper,
resulting largely in favor of issuing
$4,000 in 6 per cent. twenty year bonds
to fund a debt of $4,000, and for inter-
nal improvements. Before the bonds
could be issued an injunction was serv-
ed, and on Wednesday the attorneys
argued the case IN chambers before
Judge IIeTrick, who dissolved the in
junction. The mayor and council got
together Friday night, before new in
junction papers could be served, and
signed and sold the whole $50, 900 in
bonds to the Harper National bank, at
their face value. Fearing further de-
lay, the cashier left in the night, with
the bonds. At two O'Clock on Saturday
morning the officers, with the lnjunc-
ton papers, arrived, and served them
on each member of the council, and
each city officer. Attorneys are divided
as to the legality of the bonds, and the
opposition Say that should the bonds
now be beyond their reach, they will
fight them for the full twenty years, en-
joining collections of any taxes that
may be levied for either interest or
principal. 1t is claimed that Kansas
City firm is the real buyer.

From a conversation with Senator
Vest, published in the Kansas City
Times, we note this: MIR. Cleveland is
opposed to silver, aud wants to retain a
large surplus of gold in the treasury
for the redemption of greenbacks. We
are now collecting from the people, In
excise and tariff taxes, nearly $50, OOo,-
COO annually, more than the government
needs for any purpose, and have at the
same time Sl36, COG, 600 in 8 per cent.
bonds out, which can be called in and
paid off at any time. The 500, ZOO, 600
in gold reserve is held to redeem green
backs, yet there have been only about
SIS 100000 in greenbacks redeemed In
gold since January l, 1879, when specie
payment was resumed. III an ordinary
business man should conduct his pri-
yate business in the way the treasury
is conducted, he would be considered
fool by any merchants exchange in
the country"

The Chicago anarchists are in bad
row of stumps, certain. The jury that
had their case in charge, last week
found seven of the number guilty of
murder, and assessed their punishment
at death; and the eighth one they found
guilty of murder, and assessed his pun
ishment at fifteen years Imprisonment.
Those to be hanged are, August Spies,
Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, A. r.
Parsons, Adolph Fisher, George Engle
and Louis Lingg. The one who re-
ceived the light sentence was Oscar
Neebe. A motion for a new trial has
been made. The Chicago police now
say they have 500 other anarchists I'M
der surveillance, and will either have
them hanged or imprisoned. LET no
guilty man escape" is the motto for
this age of strikes and dynamite; and
1t is gratifying to see that wide-awake
Chicago is making the right start.

A Soldier Oddly BefrIcnded.

At one of the receptions of newly in
augurated Governor of Der State, the late
Mrs. Pendleton discovered q young staff
officer whose shoulder-straps, made by a
country tailor, had been placed length
wise on his shoulders instead Of crosswise
His novel appearance was exciting ridi-
cule and laughter, when Mrs. Pendleton,
to whom the Young man had just been in
troduced, took him by the arm and pro-
posed promenade With great tact she
withdrew him from the tbrong and then
told him quietly of his oddity In dress.
He shot out Of side door and in twenty
minutes was back again with his shoulders
properly decorated, when she smiled her
approval, and, taking his arm, made the
round of the floor with her pro:ege. She
was a woman who was always doing such
little acts, unnoticeable, but powerful in
their influence on the subjects of her re-
gard.
