Covering Seeds; The proper cover

posted in the drill or row, has much TO
do with the success Of the crop II, in
covering, the seeds are buried so deep
that the germ Che little plant within the

Though the seed may have been perfect.
ly good there will be no crop. Among
the various devices for covering seeds in
the field, one Of the best is made Of
strong, tough timber, one inch thick,
about eighteen or twenty inches long,
and six inches wide, slightly curved un-
derneath. This board may be attached
TO any common single one-horso plow
stock, by using the same heel bolt that is
used for fastening on the plow steels.
When the soil Is fine and free from rocks,
stumps, ETC., this board covers beautiful

cotton seed or corn has been dropped or
sown. II the soil be Of tenacious ma.
ture and liable TO bake or harden after
rain, it is not best to use this board, but

The following article forcibly illustrates
the necessity of proper punctuation. 1t
can be read in two ways, describing
very bad man or very good man, the re-
suit depending upon the manner in which
1t is punctuated. 1t is well worth the
study of all, and particularly young prin-
ters:
"Ie is an old and experienced man In
vice and wickedness he is never found in
opposing the works of iniquity he takes
delight In the downfall of his neighbors
he never rejoices In the prosperity of his
fellow creatures he Is always ready to as
sist in destroying the peace of society he
takes no pleasure in serving the Lord he
Is uncommonly diligent In sowing discoId
among his friends and acquaintances he
takes no pride in laboring to promote the
cause of Christianity he has not been
negligent in endeavoring TO stigmatizc all
public teachers he makes no effort 10
subdue his evil passions he strives hard
to build up Satans kingdom he lends no
aid to the support Of the Gospel among

evil adversary he pays great heed to the

An Impressive Charge.

In the course of his charge to the jury
on murder case an Idaho Judge said
"In making your decision, gentlemen,
please bear in mind that the deceased
was reaching for his hip. pocket when the
prisoner blazed away at him. The Terri.
torial statutes, you understand, gentle
men, allow one mao, when he sees an
other MAKE this motion. to produce his
gun and begin the bomoardment. To be
sure, it has been proved that the de-
ceased was reaching for his handkerchief,
but that makes no difference; the law
does not recognize any such movements.
The very fact that he was carrying a
pocket-handkerehief while he was 10
Idaho shows that he was an unfit mem
Der of our Territorial society. Please
carefully weigh all of these important
facts before bringing in your verdict"

An order has been issued from the general
freight department of the Chicago, Milwaukee

A Deadlock.

The traffic managers of the Chicago roads
met in the Omaha offices yesterday after
noon and wrestled until nearly 5
o'clock, vainly trying to arrange
east-bound freight rates. The Wiscon-
sin Central, Burlington d Northern and
Minnesota 81 Northwestern roads are fight
ing the transit system established by the
lines penetrating the wheat country. Ac-
cording to the stipulations of this system a
car of wheat is billed say at Fargo to Chi
cago. The owner has the right to stop it
at any intermediate point, but its equlva-
lent in weight must be sent to Chicago over
the same road. This naturally causes the
lines that terminate in st. Paul and Mime
apolis to object. They argue that il wheat
from Dakota points billed to Chicago is
held at Minneapolis to be ground, the owner
should be given the privilege of sending it
East over any line that he may choose
This would give the roads terminating here
an opportunity to bid for the business.
As it is now it is virtually beyond their
reach. The meeting yesterday resulted in
deadlock. Two reports. one favorlng the
transit system and one anti transit, were
submitted, but no conclusion could be
arrived at, and after debating and arguing
| until they were tired out, they adjourned
till next Monday, when the general man
ayers of the competing roads will meet in
Chicago for the purpose OF settling the
difficulty if possible.

EAU CLAIRE, Oct. IA. j. Hayward,
The Hayward Sawyer county, capitalist,
whose successful speculations on the Cog

entered at the local United States land
office, on the vacant government land in
town So north, range 10 west, Barron

Democratic candidate for congress, has also
lust purchased or leased all the land he
could obtain in the same town. Mr.. Hay
ward has secured about seven hundred
acres and Mr.. Bracklin two Or three hun

the fact that what promises to be one of the

R1ItcheIl,s HUNDRED Successor.

A rumor is afloat in railroad circles that
Division Superintendent S. j. Collins. OF
the Prairie du Chen division of the Chi

transferred to the Kansas City line on its
completion, and that j. 81. Dancy. now as

been stated on what is claimed to be good
authority in Chicago. that Maj. Bond. the
new director and first vice president OF the
Chicago. Milwaukee & ST. Paul road. will
be elected president of the road at the
annual meeting of the directors next June.
The report, however, is not generally cred
tied by the friends of Mr.. Mitchell. 1t is
stated that President Mitchell is about to
retire from active service and the affairs of
the company will be managed by Maj. F.

A Rocky Time Ahead

In regard to the meeting to be held by
the general managers in Chicago next Mon
day, the Chicago Herald has the following
to say:
Next Monday one more gigantic effort will
be made by managers interested in North
western business to organize gross money
freights and passenger pools in that territory.
Oct ii is the date to which the last meeting
adjourned, and preparations are being made
for the event. The preparations on the part
of officials are, of course, confined to their
efforts to make no other engagements for
that day and the two or three days to follow.
No efforts have been made to remove the
stumbling blocks which were the cause OF
the failure of the recent attempt to organize.
When the meeting opens it will be at the
place where deliberations last ceased. The
question of milling in transit" will be as
forbiddlng an obstacle as it ever was, while
the question OF pooling the business of the
Lake Superior lines will rot have simplified
itself in the slightest degree. The bear feel
ing which became manifest after the failure
of the last attempt to agree on these
points has become greatly intensified in the
Intervening period. and one after another the
magnates are becoming pessimiSts. The few
who still express hope of success are the
ones who manage to keep the light of flicker.

Convicted OF Abduction.
Special to the Globe.

Op0cldl 10 Cne UlODt-
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, Oct. I'm the cir
cult court this afternoon Martin Cannon
was convicted of the abduction last March
of Nellie Goldsmith for purposes of prosti-
tuition. The conviction, which is the second
of this kind in this circuit, was under the
special statute of 1882, providing from one
to ten years in the penitentiary for the
abduction of girl under 16 for such pur-
poses. Cannon had enticed the girl to take
a ride with him, and when outside the town
coerced her by threats and by displaying a
revolver, to accompany him to a bagnio
near Chippewa Falls. Judge Bundy
charged the jury that evidence of the girls
previous bad character, if any, must have
no weight. and also that the defense must
have proven conclusively that the age of
the girl was not within the limit named by
the statute.

Wood will visit every town in the district
and make a thorough canvass. In, an inter-
view with your reporter to-day, a leading
Democrat of this city stated that he GER
tainly believed Mr.. Woods prospects were
bright, and that the vote he would receive on

somebody. Ames' prospects are growing
brighter daily, and he will certainly receive
many Republican votes here. 1t seems TO be
a foregone conclusion that he will be trump

him to regret that in form all men are not
created alike He takes a sensible view OF
life, and very naturally refuses to hustle,
only at such times as are necessary. ANA
these occasions very seldom creep into the
life of E. T.
He is one of the old time traffic men in
the Mississippi Valley, and was an en-
plOye on the Mississippi steamboats, almost
before railroad had been laid INTO 81.
Paul, but several years ago he lett steam
boating and became commercial traveller,
following that vocation up to the time that
he became connected with the Duluth
road. The boys tell a story on Dodge that
they claim is true in every detail, and if So,
it speaks well for his precautionary prln-
ciples.
1t was a few years ago. and one day E.
F. found himself on board of steamboat
bound for Reid's Landing. On the boat
were several of his friends, among them
an old river captain whom he had known
years before. This captain was fOnd OF a
clever joke, and being on terms OF warmeSt
friendship with Eldridge. he kept his eye
peeled for an opportunity to WORK Oh gay
on him. He tried all the old chestnuts
but Dodge refused to bite, and 1t looked as
if he would make the trip without gettlng
caught. They had arrived at Reid 5 Land
ing and were swinging around to make the
shore, when, as usual. the steamboat began
to blow the mud out of her pipes, and the
roar of the steam as it pours into the water
is horrible sound. This was new one
on Dodge. In the days when he was steam
boating there was nothing OF the KIND
known on the river, and when the steam
began tohiss, he turned to the captain with
half-frighented look. The captain saw his
chance, and assuming look OF terror, he
yelled: ''She's goin ter blow up. Fur
Gods sake jump"
Dodge had his grip In his hand. ready to
step ashore when the boat should land, but
he didn't wait. He gave one leap,sand
struck neck deep in the river. He houn-
dered around awhile, and climbed up the
bank. when he turned and looked back to
the boat. When he saw the captain
and a dozen other friends pounding
their legs frantically and laughing like
lunatics, it dawned on him that he was the
victim of a joke, and gritting his teeth he
shook his clenched fist at the crowd on the
boat and yelled: Laugh, laugh, On you,
if you want to, but l can knock the saw
dust out of any cross-eyed galoot that
yelled jump, and don't you forget 1t"
1t took E. f. several months to smootn
out his ruffled plumage and bring hlmself
to speak with the captain, but he got there
at last and now enjoys telling the joke as
much as do his friends.
