The crop report from this see
ton is disheartningi the extreme.
Owing to the dry weather there
has been less planted than usual,
and every where there is CON-
plant of bad stands both of corn
and cotton. We have had three
short crops in succession and an
other will prove disastrous to
many of our good substantial
farmers.

The Mad dog excitement, in this
vicinity, has about died out, but
the danger is not over yet by any
means. Several dogs have been
killed recently in the country

Rabies, and the disease is liable
to break out again at any time.
IT'S about time for the release of
dogs<hat were confined for go days
and all such should be closely
watched after being liberated.

GO TO COLOMBIA.
A Country Which Needs a Little
American ENTERPRISE.

American Enterprise.
WASHINGTON, May 12.-Edmund w.
P. Smith, for eight years United States
consul at Carthagena, republic of Co
lombia, but for the past two years en-
gagged in business there, is in the city.
He says that there is great field for
American enterprise in the republic of
Colombia. Electric lights. waterworks,
railroads and ice machines are particu-
larly wanted. The government is dis
posed to be liberal. Concessions will be
given to bona fide capitalists for twenty
five years, and in the case of the water
works the government will guarantee Z
per cent ON the capital invested for
twenty-five years. Emigration is par
ticularly desired, and !, in order
to introduce new blood into
the republic the government will pay
the passage of an emigrant, give him Sc
a month, 25O acres of land, COW, two
pigs, a plow, and help to build his house
and transport him free from the sea
port to the point where he desires to To-
cate. DR.. Nunez, the new president of
Columbia, who took office in 1885, Mr..
Smith says, is a wel[educated man of
broad and liberal views. and in favor of
the promotion of friendlier commercial
and social relations between the United
States and Columbia. The people have
also overcome much of the trust of the
United States, which the French,
English and Germans engendered by
endeavoring to convince the COlumbians
that the Monroe doctrine meant the
subordination of the South American
countries to the United States. Most
OF the trade of the country is controlled
by the Germans and English, whose
representatives are met everywhere,
while a traveller for an American firm
is rarely met with.

;;s: JEERED AT TROOPS,
And Six of Them Were Shot to
.-.~- Death.


BERLIN, MAY 12.-The whole garri-
son of Dusseldorf is now on duty in the
vicinity of the coal mines for the pur-
pose of preserving order among the
striking miners. About midnight last
night mob set fire to all oil factory at
Lierenfield, which was consumed. The
Mulheim and Duisberg miners have
joined III the strike. At SchlesWig
number of pit men attacked their fore
man with daggers and he had to flee for
his life. A body of infantry arrived
the rioters, who had formed into two
bodies, took refuge behind rail
way embankment and jeered at the
troops. Three times the rioters were
called upon to disperse, but they refused
to obey. The soldiers then fired into
the crowd, killing six persons, one of
them a four-year-old child. A
woman was also wounded. After
the firing the mob dispersed.
The district bristles with troops.
The first shipment of Belgian coal has
arrived here The mine owners held
meeting at Essen. which was attended
by government officials, and resolved to
raise the wages of the miners, but they
firmly decline to concede eight
hours as a days labor. En-
peror William paid a loug visit to
Prince Bismarck to-day and discussed
the mining strikes in Westphalia and
the expedition of Capt. Wissmann. The
coal mine owners and the striking min
ers have appointed committees to con-
fer together and arrange a settlement
of the dispute. At meeting of miners
at Essen to-day it was decided to cease
work in forty-two collieries tomorrow.

ON FIRE IN MID.OCEAN.
Cotton spontaneously lgnited on
the Steamer Rugia.

Cotton Spontaneously lgnited on
the Steamer Rugia.
PLYMOUTH, May 12.-The Hamburg
American line steamer Rugia, from New
York May for Hamburg, which arrived
here at 2 p. m. to-day, reports that the
cotton in her after-hOld was spOntane-
ously ignited on the night OF the Sth
inst. The fire burned fiercely, but was
Quenched after five anxious hours, dur
ing which everything had been got in
readiness to abandon the steamer. One
hundred and thirty burning cotton bales
were jettisoned. Great fright prevailed
among the passengers, who remained on
deck for fOrty-eight hours. Through
the efforts to Quench the fire the cabins
were flooded and two-thirds of the pas
sengers' luggage was spoiled. Much
praise is given the captain and crew for
their exertiOns. Two of the crew were
injured. 1t is feared that the steamers
cargo Is greatly damaged.
After the fire had gained considerable
headway some of those on board made
preparations to desert the ship, but
were prevented from doing so by the
captain, who threatened them with re-
volver. When the iron bulkhead doors
were opened the heat became so intense
that many persons were scOrched, and
the cotton bales around the passengers
luggage took fire. Casks of lard. which
formed part of the vessels cargo, also
furnished fuel for the flames. Hope
had been well nigh abandoned and boats
had been lowered to leave the threat
ened steamer, when it occurred to the
captain to try steam instead of
water against the fire. This plan
was put in execution and proved
successful. The passengers have
presented the captain with an ad
dress and the crew with various gifts
as evidences of gratitude and esteem
for their good work in the midst of the
awful dangers that encompassed them
all.

Among the Electricians.

It is stated that the only part of an
underground line that will not main
tain very high insulation during
storms is the part that is exposed fol-
the purpose OF making connections.
A novelty in the application of elec-
tricity to musical instruments has lately
appeared in Germany, by which move
ment OF electromagnetic changes the
timbre of the tone.
Lightning has already been known to
strike overhead electric-light wires and
discharge itself through the dynamo to
earth, to the imminent danger of the
machine.
1t is proposed to furnish the city of
Montreal with light and power from a
point seven miles distant, at the head
Of the Lachine Rapids, in the River st.
Lawrence.
In an electric road the power the en-
gine develops is directly in proportion
to the work being done, whether one
or a dozen cars are in the circuit.

TO RAISE PIGS.
Some Hints Gathered by the Agri-
cultural Editor of the Des
MOineS REGISTER.

Some Hints Gathered by the Agri-
cultural Editor of the Des
MOines Register,
The pig crop is an important one on
the farm. How best to succeed in rails
ing pigs, can be gained by careful ex-
perience, and by reading the successful
practice of others. The writer's exper-
ience taught him that it required more
constant care, and intelligent observa-
ton, to raise good crop of pigs, than
for any other branch of business on the
farm. And it is useless to read the
plans and practices of others, if you do
not propose to sacrifice any of your ease
and cOmfOrt-if you do not propose to
wake up and throw off your lethargy
and Indifference. But we give the ad-
vice of DIR. G. II. Grimmell.of Jefferson,
Iowa, whom we know is successful:
First, quietness about their quarters,
as few visitors as possible outside of
persons in charge; feed for dam for
first few days nothing but little bran
and water; nice clean bed of hay, but
pigs therein, but sufficient for comfort.
with good sunlight on warm days, and
good ventilation, clean troughs and
good hygienic surroundings. with good
grass lot to run in and out; pen to be
occupied by dam: have pens and lots so
as to only admit those of the same age
to the same run.
Increase the sow's rations as the pigs
increase in age by giving ground oats.
bran and small portion of oil cake, till
the SOW supplies milk for the litter,
never feeding any sour Swill to sow, as
that will impair the young pigs diges-
tive organs of the stomach, and you will
have diarrhna, white sours, as called,
from the deranged condition by the fer
mentation of the sour swill, through the
sow's milk.
When the pigs are large enough.
commence to encourage them by feed
ing in separate trough, from the dam,
sweet milk, soaked corn in small guam
ties and oats, and as soon as they will
take good hold of same, give them
liberal supply of ground oats, bran, oil
cake and soaked corn, never losing
minute to see if they are just loose
enough to be good, hearty eaters, and
at six weeks old, by that time have
them learned to do without the dam,
which turn out, and leave them their
old quarters to run in and out at will,
then feed them just what they will
eat clean from one feeding till the next,
and increase on feed as their appetite
increases and digest the same, never
allowing their feed to become sour.

PLANS FOR CRIME.
Cowardice and Fear of Thieves
and Burglars.

London Spectator.
The public hardly realizes how very
much of the safety of the ordinary citi-
zen depends on the carefulness, the
sordidness, the calculatingness of crime.
or course that is Characteristic OF
crime which renders it more difficult to
expose; but then that, too, is
characteristic which render it rarer and
more exceptional. Ii the whole GRIM
lnal class is willing to take what we
may call "pOt shots'' at plunder and
violence, whenever it occurs to them
that they have a chance Of plunder, or a
chance of preventing detection by
could organize would be in any
degree equal to their work.
The reason why they are all equal to
their work is that we can generally
count OH the criminal classes cOncen-
tratlng their efforts on reasonable
chances of success. If they once get. as
class, as reckless in attempting crime
as the Muswell Hill burglars, we can not
conceive how the police could engage
successfully skirmishers whose tactics
would then be so incalculable. Hither-
to the representatives of order have
justly counted on the timidity, the
cOwardice, the general discouragement
of their foes. But if they should ever
be unable count OH that, it the fear of
society once disappeared. ore greatly
dwindled in the unsOcial class, worst
of all ii ever that fear should be
replaced by contempt for society, the
number of points of attack would be
multiplied SO enormously that all the
rashness with which the attacks might
1,f,y do sn
safe for enormous increase of their
number and range. Suppose that all
the cheats-who are, of course. crimi-
nails at heart--could divest themselves
of the fear of the law, and, in cOnse-
quence, became robbers, where would
society be? And yet the cheats are
bothing but robbers at heart restrained
ny the fear of consequences. II the
levity which was shown by the Muswell
Hill burglars ever took possession OF the
great army of impostors and rOgues
so. that they suddenly swelled the
ranks of the more violent criminals, no
machinery of justice of which we
know anything would be equal to the
emergency. 1t would break down as
completely as the ordinary machinery
for feedingu country would break
down in regular famine. and we
should see the meaning of a moral
anarchy. That is why we do not
think any sign of genuine levity in the
criminal class trivial matter. If it
extended, as we hope and trust that it
will not, it would be one of the most
serious of social symptoms. 1t would
mean collapse as fatal OF the proper
means of OverpOwerlng crime as
there would be of the proper means
of conquering disease, in case the num-
Der OF sick people were suddenly multi.
piled by ten, and in case the great ma
jority of them should be disposed to
not pay the smallest attention to the or
derS and prescriptions of the brave lit
tie army of desperate doctors.

THE YOUTHS DRESS SUIT.
What the Young Boys Shout.
Wear Upon Festive Occasions.

What the Young Boys Should
Wear Upon Festive Occasions.
Clothier and Furnisher.
In the general leaning toward finery
in mems attire, the youth has not been
forgotten. Since the advent of ssLittle
Lord Fauntleroy" the latitude of chill
dren's dress in the decorative sense has
been widely broadened, and now
the formal tendency of the time has
naturally resulted in the introduction
of q dress suit for boys. The idea is
capital one, and it is only marvel that
such a move was not made long ago.
The effect of distinct form of full
dress upon the youthful mind is certain
to be decidedly beneficial. The influ.
encet of a regulation attire upon a
growing boy cannot be otherwise than
q positive aid to good breeding.
The youth finds himself arrayed in an
entirely different garb from that of
everyday wear, and uncOnsciOusly a.
sense of decorurn in keeping with the
occasion properly takes possession of
him. He does not become prig by any
means, but he lays off the rOughness of as
sociatiOn with his fellows, and assumes,
perfolce, gentler mein toward the
misses he meets at the children's recep-
tiou. The children's party, while the
jOyOusnessO of childhood should dominate
the festivities, should be training
ground in a well-defined way of man
ners, calculated to affect and shape the
department of the participants in the
days to come. when they are to be full
in the whirl of social life.
The boys dress suit is made of fins
black broadclOtl, and consists of coat
with n0tch-lapel collar, rolled low, a
in the regulation swallowtail. At the
waist line the coat stops short, and is
cut off square all the way around, being
shaped closely in at the back. The
especially correct vest is of white
silk, single-breasted and with four but
tons, cut in the same shape as the mems
dress vests, but trifle higher, to show
only two shirt studs. The knee
breeches are of the same material as
the coat; the stockings are of black
silk, and patent leather pumps, with
broad silver buckle, complete the en-
Semble.
The youth may wear his full dress
suit at dancing school; at children'S
parties, either afternoon or evening; at
garden feteS in summer; indeed, upon
every occasion when the young miss
turns out in silks and tarlatan. The
prevalence of late of having children as
ist at wedding formalities has put the
youth who sauntered up the aisle hold
ing his little sisters hand. she being ar
rayed in the daintiest of costumes, and
he in ordinary boys attire, out of keep
ing with the ceremonious aspect Of the
rest of the bridal picture.
The youth need no longer be reck-
oDed a nondescript in dress amid the
inO y,1n vryI,f ,fnt, nvrk r,c
go along until the proper age when he
shall emerge from his short dress-coat
to adopt the swallow-tail, and his ex-
pefience will enable him to don that
garment, which so few wear with re-
Quisite grace, with a facility which
shall mark him to the manner born.
