A packed house greeted Neil
Burgess in "Vim." "Laugh and
grow fat" be a true saying, then
those present will have to take
some medicine this morning in or
der to reduce their flesh to be-
coming weight. Such shouts and
roars OF laughter seldom, if ever,
echoed through a theatre as were
kept up continuously for three hours
last night. 1t was one wild wave
of hilarity from the rise until fall of
the curtain. The revolving stage is
an ingenious piece OF mechanism,
rejecting great credit upon its in
yentor, Mr.. Burgess.-Sacramento

An index registers the number of

right.
His glasses are cut Brazilian

THE cRosMAN CASE.
PUBLIC SYN PATAY EN-.
T2RELY WITH THE
ACCUSED.

q Conspiracy.
There does not seem to be any
one in town who believes that Max
Grosman committed rape on the
Grey child, or attempted to. Al
though the charge was one
of the blacklist that can be made
against a man, on the day following
his arrest the bail of IS 900 was
promptly furnished by the following
parties: Blumenthal & Cohn. Jacob
Tobriner, Jacob Klein, Walter
Cbedic and Daniel Corbett. These
men came unsolicited after investi-
eating the facts in the case, and
went on bis bond.
- WITNESS FOR GRosNAN.
VIM Lenberg, the man who
drove Grosman to his store, makes
. strong statement in his favor. He
said that Grosman got out of his
buggy when he saw the child at the
door, and let her IN, and told
Lenberg 10 wait outside with the
horse. The door was left open
while the child was in there, and
she was not there over a minute
and q half, when she came out with
small bundle in herhand containing
q pair of corsets she had purchased
for her mother. AS she came out
she wore 3 smiling face, and her
manner showed no evidence of her
having been made the victim of
criminal assault. She tripPed cut
smilingly and started up the street.
Grosman was not in the store with
her any longer than would have
been necessary for him to have
taken o pair of corsets out of box
and done them up.
A gentleman who was passing at
the time partially corroborates this
statement.
CONSIDERED AS A CONSPIRACY.
The affair is generally looked up
on as a conspiracy to injure Gros-
man. The mother of the child had
owed him $40 for some time, and
he had called at the house on the
same day that the assault is alleged
to have occurred.
1t is also claimed, that the assault
was made by another party, and
the child is trying to fasten it on
Grosman. His bondsmen believe
him innocent, and made an investi-
CATION of his case before going on
his bond. They are perfectly salts
fed OF his innocence, and say that
enough will be shown on his pre-
liminary examination to fully estab
lish it.
He has retained Messrs. Coffin
and Edwards as his attorneys, and
the two gentleman are busy collect
ing evidence.
Five years ago Grosman had a
large store in Galveston, Texas, and
it was destroyed by food. He
was then worth between forty and
fifty thousand dollars.
After his loss he came to this
city and began life again at the /
foot of the ladder as a peddler. and
carried his goods from house to
house. During his stay here he
has paid his debts regularly and
dealt honestly by his patrons.
Several Jews Of Virginia City,
who had known him for years,
came down on Sunday and offered
him money or any other assistance
in their power.
At the present writing public
opinion in this city is wholly with
Grosman. The case will come up
before Justice Witherell on Thurs
lay next at 10 O'Clock In the morn
ng.

FARM NOTES.

It is stated that great many Kansas
| farmers contemplate sowing alfalfa this
spring.
Hunt up the old plows that have been
laying around the fence corners for several
months, and get them into shape for spring
work.
To enrich land that is poor we must have
manure, or its equivalent in vegetable mat
ter, or apply plant food in some shape to in
duce the growth of vegetation.
Onions are often put out in the month OF
March, as they are hardy and endure quite
a severe frost. The sooner they can be put
out and made to rapidly grow the better,
as they do not make rapid progress after
the beginning OF warm weather.
Farmers report wheat looking unusually
well for this season of the year and pros
poets good for full crop Tame grass pas
lures are in fine condition and will furnish
ample feed for stock as soon as the ground
gets solid enough to admit of cattle being
turned into them.-Garnett (KaH.) Repu6
kcan.
Old settlers tell us that rain In February
means big crops Of all kinds. With the
moist weather in the early part Of Feb
ruary and the steady down-pour of rain
Saturday, which continued nearly the en-
tire day, we think we are safe in saying
that 1888 will be one of prosperity to our
farmers. RusseU Kan Journal.
Mr.. 81. Stailey. of Chloride. N. NJ, sends
detailed statement of the record Of Black
Mary, fayorite hen, last year. Her first
brood Of chickens appeared February and
5, and her fifth brood came the 18th day of
November. January 25. 1888, she left her
fifth brood and began laying The pullets
Of the first brood commenced laying June
25-four and one-half months old; the fourth
brood began to lay at five and six months
old. They were Brown and White Leg
horns.-Kaasas Farmer.
The Office of the air-tight fruit jar may be
enlarged to preserve eggs as well as fruit
As soon as the eggs are collected put the
jars into hot water, and when thoroughly
warm, SO as to rarity the air, put the eggs
in the jar, the pointed ends upward, and
put the jars into hot water, and pack them
with paper or netting, to prevent break
ing; then close the jar before taking it out
OF the water II the work is skillfully
done and the jar is tight, the eggs will keep
for months and be as ft for the breakfast
table as the day they were laid.
Farmers must be educated up to their
business, and the training should begin
with them as boys. II is certainly bad
practice to defer the faginning of farm
education until they are men. True agri-
cultural progress depends upon the knoWl-
edge OF ths why and wherefore, upon the
application Of true principles in connection
with practical skill and experience. Prac-
tical knowledge can be acquired on the
farm but the life and ambition OF n hoy
should not be crushed out by keeping him
at constant toll. He at least should be
given every opportunity for thorough COM
mon school education. The mind, as well
IS the farm. should be cultivated.
