A TOPEKA FIRE.

The Large Printing and Publishing House
of George w. Crane & Co., Totally De-
stroyed.
TOPEKA, Kan, Feb 23.-The George W.
Crane printing establishment, the largest
publishing house in the State, was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday morning at six
O'Clock, being the most destructive fire
which has ever visited Topeka.
The fire was discovered by the engineer.
BY the time the fire department arrived
the central portion of the building was on
fire from the basement to the third floor,
the elevator shaft having afforded a hue
for the flames. 1t was several degrees be-
low zero at the time and bitter gale was
blowing and although the entire fire de-
partment Of the city was out they could
do nothing to check the flames. In less
than an hour the establishment was burned
to the ground, but by effective work Of
the fire department the adjoining build
ings were saved.
The building owned by Owen Keith,
was erected about a year ago and was the
finest block in the city. The loss is $40,- :
000, with $24, 1000 insurance.
The Crane Company's loss in stock, ma
terial, law books, presses, type, etc, Is
about $225, 900, with an insurance of $50. :
600.
In the vault on the first floor are stored
the electro plates of the Kansas Supreme
Court report and other legal publications,
which are valued at $75, 600. The vault can
not be reached and it is impossible to tell
what the injury is to these plates, but if
they have not been melted by the intense
heat the company's loss will not be SO
heavy.
1t is claimed there was not a spark of
fire in the building, and the old theory OF
spontaneous combustion is the only ex-
PLANTATION that can be given.
The total insurance was ,000 which
is held by the Westchester, of New Hamp-
shire; Fireman's, Of Dayton; Northwest
ern National, of Milwaukee; Geruania, of
New York; Anglo Nevada, of California;
Concordia, Of Wisconsin, and Fire Asso-

FARM NOTES.

1t is not a good plan to mate all the
breeding hens too early, especially
when there is q considerable ncmber OF
young stock, or until the steadiest Ana
best laying hens can be determined
OF the $4,000. 600 or more of cattle in
the United States, Texas is estimated to
have 4,72I,053, the value OF which
reaches the sum of S66. 518, $50. There
are more cattle in Texas than in any
other State. but in value New York,
Illinois and Iowa lead. y
Every farmer is interested in good
roads. None but experienced road
overseers should be selected, and the
tax required for road repair. If properly
applied, is money we'll invested. Good
roads save valuable horses and avoid
loss of time by the farmer.
Most every farmer is aware OF the
fact that sheep must be fat to make
the best mutton, but few conceive tbs
idea that properly and well-fed sheep
produces more and better wool than
one poorly fed and cared for. Wool is
product from feeding. just the same
as fat or flesh. and the flock should be
fed and managed with view to wool
growth. and that OF fine quality.
The disposition of swine is to pile up
in cold weather, and the warmer we can
keep it underneath them the less liable
they are to do this, and unless they can
be prevented from doing it TO o great
extent disease is much more liable 70
break out among them.
1t is too early yet for spring pigs
The young pigs are easily stunted by
severe cold, and unless they have q
very warm place but few Of them win
survive. The brood SOW must also be
fed literally while nourishing them
April is soon enough for the spring pigs.
As to the quality of food to be fed we
cannot lay down rule. If the swine
are in the fattening stage they should
have all they viii eat up clean. II they
are growing animals they should have
enough to keep them steadily growing.
In no event should they be overfed.
II the fruit trees are split by frost .
good plan Is to heat grating wax.
spread ID over piece OF muslin and
place over the wound. tying in place
with strips of the same material
wrapped around the tree The strip
covered with wax should be sufficiently
large to entirely cover the wound.

Isge student Ends Disastrously.
NEW MIDpLETowN, Conn.,, Feb "a
About midnight Thursday the inmates OF
the North College building at Wesleyan
were aroused by an explosion which shook
every beam and rafter IN the building and
called to mind the blowing up OF the Park
Central at Hartford. The report could be
heard in every quarter Of the town. The
explosion was caused by a dynamite bomb
thrown by some foolhardy student in the
fourth hoor of the building. 1t shattered
doors and windows, tore a hole down
through two floors and knocked out sever
al yards of plastering. n observatory
hall the same outrage was perpetrated,
only with greater effect The halls Of both
buildings are filed with plaster. wood,
glass, etc, in such quantities that it seems
impossible a dynamite cartridge could
have made such havoc
The worst feature of it all is the ncci-
dent 10 N. c. Hubbard, son of ex-Con-
gresham Hubbard, of West Virginia.
After the explosion in North college,
young Hubbard ventured out of his room
to ascertain the cause OF the racket He
was no sooner in the hall than he saw
small missile lying on the floor near the
door and picked it up. 1t was a dynamite
OF DOmu duu IL
ploded in his hand. The palm Of his right
hand was terribly lacerated, his eyes
badly cut and pieces entered his abdomen.
1t must have exploded with terrible force,
as it threw fragments of his flesh all
around. When the injury to Mr.. Hubbard
became known several physicians were
summoned and they deemed his condition
so serious as to warrant his removal to
the hospital at New Haven, where four
fingers of the injured hand were ampu-
tated. 1t is barely possible that his hand
may be saved.
The college officials promise that IL the
perpetrators are caught they will be
handed over to the State authorities. Most
of the students are inclined to place the
responsibility on members of the fresh
man class. For a great number of years
it has been customary for the freshmen to
usher in Washington's birthday with some
peculiar piece Of deviltry, and each class
was striving to outdo the other in the OBJ
servance of the custom. On Wednesday
morning President Vlan Week gave the
students a very earnest talk on the OBJ
scrvance of Washington's birthday. He
told them the faculty had no objection to
n dlgnifcd observance of the day, but
cautioned them against doing any thing
