La crosse Tor trial. The complain
ant is his first wife. Sarah Carrigan,
whom he married last June, but who
has not lived with him. Two weeks
ago he married Fife Carlisle of
Brownsville.
An unknown man was found by
the police back of the opera house at
Brainerd with a cash from ear to ear,
but not deepenough to be dangerous.
In his hand was a razor, with which he
had attempted to take his life. The
man was unconscious from the loss
of blood and the effects of whiskey.
A railroad ticket from Tacoma to
Chicago via Ashland was in his pock-
etbook. His name is supposed to be
George Seibert.
1t is surmised at st. Cloud that
the letter reporting the suicide of
John Plum, the murderer of the
widow Kometisch at Freeport, and
the finding Of his body by Anderson
of Eagle Lake Todd county, is a
fraud. It is suspected now that it
was written by Plum himself. tt
was written at Dagget's Brook,mai
ed at Brainerd, and Anderson gave
his address as Eagle Lake. No one
by that name is found there, and as.
Plum started in that direction it is
probable that he visited those local
tiles and used an assumed name.

against only one COW on hay. This
comparison is a startling one, and
the difference is too great to be over
looked. No matter what the cost of
hay or ensilage may be, in the first
place, the proportion of eight or
nine to one represents sums that can
not be rcconciled.

Keeping Seed Potatoes.

I
IF the seed is kept in barrels in the
cellar it may be poured over from one
barrel to another; but after all the
main point is to keep the temperature
down to low figure. There has
been some talk in the papers lately
that 400 was low enough, thatit was
not wise to let them get any nearer
to freezing. I would keep them as
cold as 33o to $40, providing of
course, that the cellar was well
enough built so that there could be
no danger of it freezing during cold
night. just as near freezing as you
can and run no risk would be my
motto. | have planted hundreds of
bushels that had been kept at a tenn
perature as low as above mentioned
for months and all grew finely. In
| case of a sudden cold snap potatoes
will stand a freezing temperature or
even lower for a short time. / have
| planted some that were exposed to q
temperature of 29o for d short time
on purpose and they all grew all
right. But when the mercury gets
below $50 during a very cold spell
one had better be on the safeside and
warm up the cellar a degree or SO. A
little oil stove does this nicely in a
short time and just enough and no
moreif one is Watching.-T B. Terry,

- Stock Faadipp
Bulletin No. A." of the Minnesota
Station, gives an account of some
short feeding tests, which can only
be considered as preliminary to
| further work under more satisfactory
conditions. These experiments in
dictate that even the most Watery
form Of ensilage, i. e., ensilage from
coarse Southern corn which cut thir-
| ty-fve tons to the acre, can be COM
pared with fine timothy hay nearly
in the proportion of 2k to i for mich
COWS. The COWS relish ensilage with
grim better than moistened hay
with grain This is not proof
that ensilage is more digestable. but
it is evidence that it is more palata-
BILE and, palatability and digestibili-
ty are somewhat intimately connect
ed. Timothy hay seemed to favor
the production of fat in cows, while
ensilage favored the production of
milk. With a warm stable the warm
ing of drinking water did more harm
than good, but as the water given to
one lot stood 90 and to the other
032 the tests are of less value than
they would have been had the water
of the first lot been alittle cooler and
of the second lot little warmer AS
we observed at the outset, short
feeding tests, hastily arranged, can
prove little. These, however, are
interesting as indicating lines of ex-
! perimerltations which ought to bring
results of practical value to every
/ farmer.

CABINET GOSSIP.
The Pacific Coast Certain to Be Repre-
sented-New York,s SouahbIe

The Pacific Coast Certain to Be Repre-
sented-New York's squabble.
WASHINGTON, December 2d-The impress
sion is constantly gaining ground that Gen
eral Harrison will give the Pacific coast a
representative in his Cabinet This belief
is strengthened not by anything General
Harrison has said, but rather from what he
has not said. The President elect has prob
ably expressed himself with greater free
dom TO Senators Allison and Spooner than
to any of the distinguished visitors who
have called upon him at Indianapolis since
his election. To neither of these gentle
men has he said anything about the per-
sonnel OF his Cabinet, but both are of the
opinion that General Harrison will recog-
nize the Pacific slope in q manner TO graf
ify the Republicans of that section. Gen
eral Harrison is not unmindful of the
splendid battle fought by the Republicans
in California, Oregon and Nevada and Of
claims which the coast has to be repre-
sented in the next Administration.
The fight over New York's representa-
ton in the Cabinet is waxing so warm
here that not few Republican politicians
are willing 10 predict that the Empire
State will have either two members of the
Cabinet or none at all. Mr. Cleveland has
kept two New Workers in his Cabinet
MI. dlICnliu anu MI w nltDey-Dut Ii IS
hardly to be presumed that with the Vice.
President elect from New York, General
Harrison would give two Cabinet places 10
residents of that State.
Ex-senator Plat, backed BY Vice Presi-
dent elect Morton and influential members
of the Republican party in New York City,
asks TO be made Secretary of the Treasury.
He requires General Harrison to turn
down ex-senator Warner Miller, who, as
the Republican candidate for Governor of
New York in the last election, sacrificed
his personal wishes for the benefit of the
Republican Electoral ticket If Harrison
appoints Patt to a Cabinet office he will be
denounced by Miller's great personal fol-
lowing in the country districts in New
York. If he selects Miller in preference to
Platt, the latter's following in New York
City will be up in arms against the Admin
ministration.
Senator Plumb, of Kansas. said to-day
that he heard in New York yesterday that
strong opposition to Platt, headed by Cor
nelius Bliss, was organizing in the Union
League Club.
Californias chances for a Cabinet posi-
ton after March 4th may depend very
largely upon the settlement of this war in
New York, as. if two members of the Cab
met are selected from the Empire State,
there will be one less position to be given
the West.

The Cost of smoke In London.

Professor Chandler Roberts estimates
the weight of the smoke cloud which daily
hangs over London at about fifty tons of
solid carbon, and $50 tons of carbon in the
form of hydrocarbon and carbonic-oxide
gases. Calculated from the average result
of tests made by the Smoke Abatement
Committee, the value of coal wasted in
smoke from domestic CRATES amounts, upon
the annual consumption of five millions of
people, to e2,257, 800 The cost of carriage
on this wasted coal is calculated to be
e26S, $50, while the unnecessary passage of
about 100000 horses through the streets
in drawing it add seriously to tie cost of
street cleaning and repairing. Then there
is the cost of taking away the extra ashes,
943, 900 per year. Summing it all up, the
direct and indirect cost of the wasted coal
may be set down at e2,600,000, plus the
additional loss from the damage done to
property, caused by the smoky atmosphere,
estimated by Mr.. Chadwick at e2000,000,
the whole aggregating e4,600,000, or S23,
100000.

Culture Leads to simple Dress.

A marked feature of our times is the in
creased simplicity in dress. In spite of an
occasional monstrous whim that gets en-
bodied in style, both the habits of ladies
and gentlemen are more quiet and less pre-
tentious than fifty years ago. Mems busi-
ness suits are on pattern brought down
to absolute economy in expense and fitness
for work. Nor are dress suits character
lied by any of the superfuities of the last
century. Clergymen have given up not
only the wigs and bands and cooked hats
of hundred years ago. but the tall hats,
the invariable black and the white tie of
fifty years ago. The Judges no longer
wear scarlet, faced with velvet. Wigs,
stocks, powders and pomatums are less and
less important. A gentleman of 1900.
when he went abroad, must appear in
satin embroidered vest, a wig and satin
small clothes, with white silk stockings.
Culture does not lead in the direction of
elaborate adornment of the person.-G Globe

Hronek, the Chicago Anarchist, Must Go
to the Penitentiary.
CHICAGO. December 2d.-At the conclu-
sion of the arguments in the Hronek dyna-
mite case last evening Judge Collins at
once charged the jury. The Judges charge
was quite lengthy, and its reading occupied
fully half hour. At ten minutes past 9
o'clock the jury retired. At twelve min
utes to 10 O'clock the announcement was
made that the jury had agreed
The verdict was handed to the Clerk of
the Court, who opened the paper and read ::
" We, the jury, find the defendant guilty
as charged in the indictment, and fix his
punishment at twelve years in the peniten-
tiary."
A friend leaned over Hronek during the
delivery of the verdict. He looked up
with a pleasant smile and said "Ich
verstene." His face betrayed no evidence
of disappointment or fear.
WILL HAVE A WHOLESOME EFFECT.
CHICAGO, December 2i-The verdict of
the jury in the dynamite case, at late
hour last night, sentencing Hronek to
twelve years in the State Prison, seems to
fully establish the constitutionality of the
Act of July, 1887, providing penalty from
any improper use of dynamite in expert
menting with or teaching others how it
could be used
The defense in this case sought to prove
that the dynamite came into Hronek's
hands before the passage of the Act The
general impression prevails that the de-
cision Of the jury in this case will have
wholesome restraint on dynamite plotters,
and that the backbone of anarchy in this
city is about broken

WASHINGTON, December 2d.-Presideut
Cleveland's annual message will be sent to
both houses of Congress tomorrow i'm
mediately upon the receipt of the. usual
notification that they are ready to receive
any communication he has to make. No
delay is anticipated in the organization.
1t is more than probable that the reading
of the message will consume the first legis-
lative day, as il is understood 10 be of un-
usual length. The report of the Secretary
OF the Treasury will not be sent to Con-
gress until Tuesday.
THE FIRST WEEK OF CONGRESS.
The programme for the week in the SEN
ate will depend upon the result of the
meeting OF the Committee on Finance
called for Tuesday morning. If it is then
decided to take up the committees revenue
measure and the Senate's substitute for the
military bill, pending at the close of the
last session, its consideration will preclude
tie possibility of another bill coming to the
front until it is disposed Of 1t is the ex
pressed desire Of Senators Morrill,, Allison
and Sherman to push the measure to
vote, so 1t seems probable the bill will be
taken up.
H. Dy any posslolllty, the revenue bill
should not come up, the probabilities, of
course, of legislation are rather vague. The
bills most likely TO receive prompt atten-
ton, with the least opposition, are those for
the admission of North Dakota, Montana,
and Washington Territories into the
Union.
The special order for Tuesday, at 3
o'clock, is the Union Pacific funding bill,
popularly so-called.
Tuesday and Wednesday in the House
will probably be devoted to the consider
alton of bills on the calendar in what is
called the consideration morning hour"
the privilege of calling up bills resting
with the Committee on Indian Affairs, and
the pending measure being that for the
settlement of claims of the Old Settler
band Of Indians.
Thursday is the day fixed by Democratic
caucus resolution for the consideration of
the direct tax bill, but it is still matter of
surmise whether or not the caucus pro-
gramme will be adhered to.

A MUSICAL STAR.
Romantic Story of a Rising Young Cali
fornia Singer Abroad

LONDON, December 2d.-The success of
Miss Josephine Simon, of Oakland, Cal,
as a concert-singer, is something remarka-
able. She is looked upon by musical peo-
pie, critics, and those high in society and
authority as sort of infant prodigy. The
managers advertise her as the fifteen-year
old prima donna from San Francisco. She
told an interviewer that she was born in
Brooklyn, N. Y, in 1873. She is a girl
with very short waist, and fresh pleas
ing face. Her wonderful mezzo soprano
voice made the great Albert Hall ring, aud
her Scotch melodies were so pleasing that
the audience almost buried her in flowers.
Already romantic stories are being told
about her 1t is said that her father was
poor butcher in Oakland, who. baakrupted
himself in his efforts to give his daughter
musical education. He was forced 10
leave the town between two days to escape
his creditors, and wandered disconsolate.
Then the talented girl came to his rescue.
She had already begun winning fame and
money with her voice, and she not only
helped her father to cross the ocean to her,
but sent message TO his creditors to the
effect that she would pay every cent of bis
debts
