Rev. 8. L Condo, n Presbyterian min.
later at Rockford, has been preaching
against charity balls In much the same
strain that has characterized the utter
ances Of certain ministers In this city, but
with different results. for the ball there
was brilliant success. This SO offended
some OF his congregation that they got up
petition asking for his resignation.
Last Sunday he created a sensation in his
church. While reading from chapter Ia
Philippians he fell forward az IL In d
faint. Several of the occupants of front
pews sprang forward to his assistance,
but before they could reach him he raised
up and explained that the passage which
he had read came in so pertinently in
connection with the request for his resig-
nation because Of his opposition to the
recent charity ball that 1t overcsme him.
Having made this explanation. he asked
II there were any present who would like
to have their names removed from the
petition requesting his withdrawal.
No one seemed disposed to EN- brace the
opportunity so unexpectedly presented,
and the services continued In the usual
way. The minister's opponents insist
that he was not Ill and that the affair was
simply scheme to awaken sympathy
with a view to. securing a new hold upon
the congregation.

DIRTY DICK OF DUBLIN.

The Irish World dubs Richard Piggott,
the would-be spy and informer against
Parnell in the famous suit against him
based upon the London Times publica-
lions, as Dirty Dick of Dublin. Piggott's
confessions seem to render the Worlds
appellation especially fitting. 1t has
been charged-and the accusation fits
with "Dirty Dicks" Infamous character
that this man has been carrying on
trade in indecent photographs and re-
sorting to other practices of the vilest
description. All for money! For money
he went to Dublin Castle and there sold
whatever he knew Or could invent
against Irish patriots. For money he
has resorted to forgeries which figure In
the Parnell Commission. But he piled
his infamous vocation in this instance as
long as there was hope of reward, and
when that was gone, scoundrel that he
is he turned upon those from whom he
had received blood money, as it were,
and By his confession brings upon them
the contumely their perfidy merits. 1t
is pity, indeed, if immunity from the
penalty of outraged justice was the price
of Piggott's divulgencee, but such is
most likely the case.

PERTAINING TO AGRICULTURE.
subsoiling and Farming.

w. F. Hayden in Winfield Courier
This is not practiced among the farm
ers of Kansas very much. This IS one OF
our most important industries. The bone
and sinew of the land have been in this
country near ten years. Observe closely
the growth of all kinds OF crops during
that time. Many failures OF some OF the
crops almost every year since the spring
of 70, is it rainfall or manner OF cultiva-
ton, and what is our remedy to be sue
cessful? l farmed thirty-three years on
farm east of the Blue Ridge in Virgin
ia, in the tobacco country. Corn, wheat,
rye and oats grow well when well cult
waited. In my Judgment deep blowing
is the best in any country. Subsolllng
and deep blowing is prra7ctlced a great
go at it is heavy sering pillow, strong
team, plow raised to eight inches deep,
follow the sering pillow with heavy coui.
ter ten inch point two inches and half
wide. Follow with this coulter each fur
row as deep as the team can stand the
draft. This will draw the water from
the surface and cause moisture to raise
in dry weather, stands wet or dry sea-
sons better. Land that is plowed deep is
easier cultivated. Seeds OF weeds and
grass turned under deep will not trouble
the growing crop as much as shallow
blowing. Don't think the insects are as
bad. Fight insects and work when the
crop commences growing.
The farmer that plows deep,
Has corn to sell and keep.
