PLATTsMoUTH, Neb., May 17.-About
O'Clock last night two men got into a
fight on lower Main street. A police
man called one of the Pinkerton guards,
in the employ of the Burlington Rail
road company, to his assistance. While
the two officers were walking up street
with their prisoner they met two broth
erhood engineers named Frank bills
and Peter Rogers, who inquired what
the men were arrested for. The Pinker-
ton answered gruffly and a quarrel fol-
lowed. during which blows were eX-
changed between the Pinkerton and
Rogers and the former, drawing revOl-
yer, shot Rogers, who fell to the ground.
A crowd Immediately gathered and the
PinkertOn took to flight, closely pur-
sued. lie had gone about block when
he was stopped by crowd of strikers,
one Of whom ran into a store and re-
turned with rope. There were cries
of Hang him, hang him." and the
Pinkerton, drawing his revolver, began
firing again. One shot brought down
Frank Dills, the shot taking effect in
the thigh. and the other struck a special
officer named Carein in the leg. The
PinkertOn then escaped to the Perkins
house, which was soon surrounded by
large crowd, who threatened lynch
ing. A thorough search of the house
failed to reveal the Pinkerton, how
ever, and it is thought he escaped from
the rear of the building and left the
city. Rogers is in the most serious con-
dition of the three wounded men, hav-
ing been shot in the jaw, sthe ball pass
ing out through the chin. Capt. Pinnes,
OF the PinkertonS, brought twenty extra
men into the city early this morning.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Not New Subject, But Will Bear
Repetition.

1t is a well established fact in COM
mercial circles that it is possible to
over-produce in anything, and cOnSe-
sequently diminish the immediate de-
mand for it. and for time its practical
value to the producer as well as the
dealer. 1t is natural that farming
should be no exception to other kinds of
business in this regard, says the New
England Farmer, and Oftentimes the
cause of meager prices for GER
tain farm products may be found
in the fact that farmers have
been too eager to produce them because
somebody has ''Struck bonanza in
their cultivation. One mans success in
any business is energizing to host of
men who hear about it, and who then
strive to ape his characteristics with the
success. AS a result large namber get

such proceedings is one of economy of

wish to make speciality, let US try
something that people have not lost
their heads on and see if we cannot be
the lucky man who starts the rush in
stead of the individual who follows in
the wake. In other words, strive to be

Fearful Damage to Stock and
Growing Crops.

ST. LOUIS, May 17.-Adviccs from
that at 4:15 O'Clock this morning a
break occurred in the Sny levee at a
point about two miles below the Ham
nibal bridge, and this was followed at
GAS o'clock by a larger and more Sc
rious one above the bridge short dis
lance. The widest excitement pre-
vailed in Hannibal as well as among
the few farmers who had stubbornly
remained in the bottoms. Two hundred
men who had been engaged all night in
the work of stopping seeps and placing
bags of sand on top of the levee. to
keep the river back, attempted to close
the breaks, but without success. The
more sensible farmers had removed all
their live stock to the bluffs six miles
distant, but not afeW remained until
the moment of the calamity, conSe-
Quently they sustained serious losses.
Hogs, COWS and horses could be seen
swimming in the flood until they came
in contact with some obstacle upon
which their bodies would be mangled.
The smaller houses in the bottoms are
wrecked. AS yet no loss of human
lives is reported. The territory now

acres under cultivation. The depth of
the water is from one to twenty feet,
consequent upon the breaking of the
levee. The river is receding rapidly.
The tenants state that if the ground gets
i'll favorable condition that by the mid
die of June they can raise late
corn. The loss at this writing
is incalculable. The damage to railroad
property will be great. From Keokuk
word comes that it was thought the
worst was over, but very heavy rain
set in there this morning and as the
Des MOines river is rising rapidly there
is no telling what the result will be.
The overflow is constantly increasing,
covering more land every day, and the
water is getting deeper. Vast quantities
of water are pouring over the levee
about mile north of Alexandria, which
forms a swift current that swe ps
through the town and threatens to carry
away number of houses whose founda-
tons have been weakened by the pro-
longed inundation. Many families have
abandoned their homes and sought tenn

VIRGINIA REPUBLICANS.
Malone Has Things Pretty Near
His Own Way.

PETERSBURG, Va, May 17.-Dele-
gates to the Republican state conven-
ton began to gather in the Academy of
Music just before noon and promptly at
that hour, the building being about two
thirds full, Gen. Malone came upon tn
stage from the rear entrance. His ap-
pearance was the signal for an outburst
of applause, which the general, how
ever, failed to notice. A few minutes
after, Hon. John S. Wise, the leader of
the opposition to Mahone's unit rule. ap-
peared in that part of the dress circle
allotted to the Third district, and was
also greeted with applause. The no
ticeable feature OF the convention was
the great increase in the number of
white delegates, some of the
districts being almost entirely rep
resented by them. At 1890
O'Clock Gen. Malone stepped
to the front of the stage and was greeted
with tremendous and enthusiastic APP
plause, which continued several min
uteS and which was interspersed with
rounds upon rounds of cheers for
Blaine, Sherman, the unit rule, the Re-
publican party, etc. When quiet had
been restored Gen. Malone, after ac-
knowledging the mpliment, proceeded
to address the convention. 1t was
nearly midnight when the committee
on credentials reported. The delegates
at large are Johh G. Watts, of Laze-
We'll; S. Brown Alien. of Augusta; A. H.
Harris of Dindwddie, and Gen. Will
lam Malone, of Petersburg.
Electors at large-Col. William Lamb,
of Norfolk, and Frank S. Blair, of
Wythe. The unit rule at Chicago and
the continuance of the present plan of
organization was adopted. The plat
form pledges fidelity to the party,
arraigns the Democratic party as false
to its professions and as guilty of long
list of shortcomings, particularly on
the subject of the ta1iff, the surplus,
the civil service. the Blair school bill,
and its foreign policy, and it
calls upon the voters of the
state to assist in putting the Repub-
lican party into power in order that it
may do the things which the Democrats
have left undone as above. 1t calls on
Virginia'S representatives, in congress to
maintain and extend protection, remove
the tax from tobacco and fruit and OBJ
tain liberal provision for the rivers and
harborS of the state. 1t declares Vir-
ginia a Republican state.

concerned, and that it matters little
what kind of food is used so long as it
is pure, of good quantity and properly
prepared. The healthy stomach will
turn it into good blood. This, it will be
seen, is similar utterance to that of
Dr.. Austin Flint, recently quoted, only

Her ROYAL Bath.

The princess of England whose COM
pleXion is not only the finest, but who
has best stood the wear and tear of time,
takes her morning plunge regularly,
and in water fairly cold, but she is
particularly careful to promptly make
use of the flesh brush, using gloves of
moderate roughness rapidly over the
surface of the body, and, finally, the
rough towel in a quick, general rub,
occupying both for the bath and this
massage, if one may call it such,
twenty minutes in all. At night the
same lady's bath is prepared tepid and
of distilled water, the admirable ad-
vantage of which is not properly under

ter is removed from distilled water, so
that it is absolutely pure. 1t costs about
II cents per gallon, and can be used, a
quart at time, for aquick sponge both,
with admirable effect, especially when
combined with little glycerine and
rose water.

ADVICE ABOUT EATING.
Eminent Doctors Smashing Some
Old Superstitions About Food.

u.
Mail and Express.
Some recent remarks by DR.. James G.
White, professor of dermatology in Har-
ward university, are directly in line
with an article published only few
days ago in these columns on the sub
ject of sensible eating. There is, of
course, no subject concerning which
people need information more than
they do about eating, and there are very
few subjects on which more ridiculous
notions are eXtant. Zone mans meat
is another mans pOiSon' is an old and
mankind have ideas of diet that are
formed from the experience of other
people, and these ideas are very common
ly absurd. Dr.White disposes of some of
these notions by the authoritative ut
terance of a thorough scientist. For eX-
ample, he touches On the old wives
fable that butter in liberal quantities
will cause children's faces to break out
with "butter Sores" He declares, what
intelligent people have long known,
that good butter uncooked is perfectly
harmless food so far as the skin is con-
cerned, and he might have gone much
farther, for the Limitation was unneceS-
sary. He says, however, that the notion
alluded to probably came from the fact
e that the use of impure butter in food
otherwise indigestible, may have dis
turbed the stomach and produced i'm
pure blood in some cases. 1t is more
likely to have come from the efforts of
parents of limited means to curb their
children's indulgence in an expensive
dainty 1t is certain that much of the
prejudice against candy came from this
particular cause, though with candy as
with butter, the prejudice is entirely
justifiable in reference to adulterated
and impure grades. Nothing is more
common than to hear parents tell their
children that eating candy will ruin
their teeth, but it is most likely to be an
utterance dictated by economy. At all
events, no educated dentist will indorse
the statement.

ENsILAGE FOR THE DAIRY.
Some Opinions Of Experimenters
Given at q Wisconsin Institute,

Given at a Wisconsin Institute.
d. F. Sayre, of Rock county, spoke on
the growing of corn. He prefers to
pillow second crop of clover under in
the fall, blowing four to five inches
deep and tapping or shingling the fur
rows. In spring, as soon as the ground
is thawed and dry enough, he burrows
two or three times before planting, at
Intervals of a few days.apart, to fine the
soil and kill all terminating seeds of
weeds. Also once or twice after the
corn is up, with fine steel-toothed har-
row. This, with work with two-horse
cultlvator, gives good crop free from
weeds and without hand hoeing.
John Gould, of Ohio, said that for
many years in the West men saved only
the ears Of corn, wasting the stalks or
rou&hage. We have begun to find the
crop of stalks rightly saved to be worth
as much per acre as the corn. The
early advocates of ensilage advised to
raise corn for fodder alone, the other
extreme; planting or sowing the corn
very thick, not forming ears at all, cut
ting while immature and putting in the
pits. But corn is a grain plant, and is
worth most for ensilage if planted in
drills three and half feet apart, with
kernel every twelve inches, using
using about eight quarts of seed per
acre. This lets the sun in, to warm the
soil and mature the ears. Two-thirds of
the corn crop, he said, is the gift of the
sunshine and the atmosphere; hence
give both chance to get in their work
in maturing the crop. Cut and store in
the SilO just as the ears begin to glaze.
An acre of ensilage, in his opinion, will
carry as much stock as two or two and
half acres of good meadow hay. Ex-
periments at the Massachusetts station
show that corn fodder properly planted
and matured is worth four times as
much per ton for feed as if thickly
sOwn and cut while immatured. He
prefers the large Southern or "B. and
w." corn for ensilage. 1t withstands
drOuth better than our smaller Northern
varieties.

THE BRINE METHOD
To Clean Seed Wheat-An Old and
Successful Method

ouCCSS51 III neIuOu.
FOUNTAIN, Mimi, May I'm looking
over the Farm Notes in the WEEKLY
GLOBE of May 8, noticed few words
about pickle for wheat before seed
ing. 1t did seem strange that it should
be thought new or strange thing to
do, for this method my husband fol-
lowed over thirty years ago on farm he
owned, but we did not reside on tin
fact, never used the farm only for wheat
and corn until he sold it. At seeding
time very strong brine was made in a
half barrel tub--that is, a barrel sawed
through the middle-and the strong
brine served for double purpose, one
to remove any and all seeds of weeds
OF oats that might be mixed with the
wheat, which very strong brine Will
surely bring to the surface, from which
it can be skinned off with a
large skinner containing small holes.
The skinner was made to order.
A good skinner can be made by taking
an old milk pan and with small sharp
pointed nail drive holes through the
bottom of the pan, or anything that will
take the stuff from the surface of the
brine, after the wheat has been repeat
edly stirred up to let the refuse rise. If
the brine is strong enough it never fails
to clean seed wheat perfectly. The re-
suit? Well this process was used every
season, and sometimes the seed laid on
the barn floor-a week once-sometimes
three or four days after being washed
on account of arain falling and prevent
ing the sowing being done as antici-
pated when the washing began. Some
times the wheat began to SprOut, al
though repeatedly turned and worked
over with grain shovel-and this was
another thing Lonesome fresh-burned
lime was treated to just enough water
to powder the lime, and this fine lime
powder was very carefully spread over
of lime on it; the shovel was used al
most every hour most vigorously and
the results never failed of good clean
crop of No. wheat.
