Maslin,s whereabouts.

L. W. Maslin, who went East some time
ago to lecture on the beauties of California.
and TO more particularly present the claims
of FL Dorado, Placer and Sacramento
counties. is wrestling with grangers in
Iowa. From a dispatch received from him
yesterday it appears that on the preceding
night he had lectured to an audience of
500 in Mason City. and the night before
that 10 400 people at Charles City. In
Minnesota Mr.. Maslin was not received
with the warmth that he has been in Iowa,
and the people in the neighborhood of
Minneapolis care less about the Pacific
coast than do those of the Buckeye State
Mr.. Maslin has a large amount of printed
matter with him, and being so thoroughly
posted on matters pertaining TO California,
his lectures, illustrated by stereop,icon
pictures, interest all who hear him. The
press throughout the West where he has lee
tured, give synopsis of his remarks, and
assist in advertising the points of his mis-
sion.

THOSE COUPONS AGAIN.
Judge Il o. Beatty Corrects Some Misre-

EDS. RECORD UNION: The report of the
Bee as to proceedings before the Board of
Trustees last Monday seems to me to re-
quire some notice at my hands. Mr.. Porter
is reported as saying That it was strange
Judge Beatty had not accused ex-Treasurer
Poorman with having paid about S2O0, 600
during 1928 and 1874, as be had not can
ceiled the coupons, leaving it to be done by
Auditor Hickman, who used star-shaped
stamp or punch"
this language. If he means by this that
Poorman paid the coupons that fell
due ii January, 1872, January, 1873 and
January. 1874 and failed to stamp the
same, leaving Hickman to stamp them.
then he is entirely mistaken. Poorman
never paid a single coupon of either of
those years. A small portion of those
coupons We're paid by Mr.. Chamberlain.
The remainder, about three-fourths of them,
were paid by Mr.. Porter himself, and any
suspicion against the Treasurer for neglect
to punch would not rest on Mr.. Poorman' s
shoulders, but his own.
If, on the other hand, he means that the
older coupons which fell due in previous
years, but were not paid until 1872, 1873
and 1874, were unstsmped until Mr.. Hick-
man stamped them in 1877, then he proves
point that he has been heretofore vehe-
mently denying. S me two weeks ago he
brought in his coupon book TO prove that
all coupons heretofore paid were regularly
stamped as paid and that it was not worth
while to make an order against paying the
undoubtedly stamped and could not be
again preseated for payment. Yet he sub
sequeutly admitted that the coupons of1S60
part OF those of 1861 and 1862 were not suf-
fciently stamped or cancelled until Hick
man stamped them in 1877. Now he asserts
that $1,000 OF the coupons (of what par
ticular date do not know, but not later
than 1874 had to be stamped by Hickman
in 1877. Again Poorman was not Treasurer
in 1872, bat only took Office in the spring
of 1878. During his term of office not more
than $4,000 in coupons were redeemed.
Somebody else must have been negligent
besides Poorman.
This. think, settles the proposition that
in early times, before coupon books were
purchased, at least three of the Treasurers-
Bird, Poorman and another-(and whethe,

Information That VIII i'm All Probability
Surprise Many Farmers.
':How long are potato roots any
way?" can not tell. but judging from
analogy, should say that in fine,
rich, mellow soil under favorable con-
'ditions, they grow five or six feet
long. The person who pulls up hill
of early potatoes while the tops are
green, and shakes off the earth may
suppose he has got nearly all the
roots, but such Is by no means the
case. The same is true of onions. /
once had an onion bed on a hill side
garden, the soil of which was a fine
sandy loan. The bed was about four
feet wide. the onions about full-grown
and the tops still green. There came
a shower in the night and stream ran
down over the bed until the surface
dirt was all washed away and the roots
were left bare. extending unbroken in
every direction. and generally remain
ing in the place where they grew. In
the morning when i visited my garden
to see the havoc that had been caused
by the rain, was surprised. beyond
measure, to find that onion roots were
SO long. Some onions that stood near
the middle of the bed had pushed
their roots in both directions to the
outside of the bed; in other words,
their roots were extended two feet on
all sides. I would not believe it if had
not seen it myself. 1t is the common
opinion that the roots of trees extend
about as far out in the ground as the
branches project out above it; but the
truth is that they extend much far
Their. I have seen large trees, as well
as willows. and alders, washed out by a
food in the creek. and in every case
the roots were more than twice the
length of the branches. The person
who buys trees from the nurserymen
may think he obtains about all the
roots with the trees. but he does not
get one-haH of them From what I
know of c.her vegetables, I believe
that potatoes of vigorous growth send
out roots three feet in every direction
where they are not opposed by some
impediment, and that If there is richer
soil or manure within four feet of
where they are planted they viii start
for that the first thing, and reach it in
a short time. The man who manure.
one row OF potatoes and leaves the
next without any manure as an expe-
riment, to find out the value of COM
mercial fertilizers, makes as great a
mistake as the one who put his money
into a contribution box, thinking it a
savings bank. If you manure one row
of potatoes, the next row will steal
part of the manure unless you inter-
pose an impossible barrier of boiler
plate or chilled iron.-Cor. Rural New
Yorker.

At this moment q bright object cleaned
IN the face Of Austin Wentword. Then
came fash and sharp report A deadly
bullet grazed the cheek Of the mechanic.
On the instant the two men closed in q
desperate struggle for the mastery twas q
struggle that might end only in the death
OF one OF the twain. It was lucky for
troubled Grace Penroy that she did not see
the conflict
Wentword seized the Captains wrist and
attempted to wrest the revolver from his
grasp. Feeling that to lose the weapon
meant doom to himself, Captain Starbright
chung to it with the tenac,ty Of desperation.
And thus the two men went to the
ground.
Over and over they rolled in the grass.
Captain Starbright felt his grip on his revolv-
or weakening. It was torn from his prasn
and then a terrible weakness swept his
being.
s'Mercy!'' he gasped, as he felt the knee
Of his antagonist against his breast and saw
the cooked and cleaning weapon in the
hand of his maddened rival.
"Mercy to such as you-neucrr'
Then Austin Wentword thrust his vean-
on in the face OF his enemy and was on the
point of pressing the trigger when a hand
touched his shoulder.

"Who are you! Why do you interferer'
demanded Wentword. in an angry tone,
glazing menacingly at the new conner.

Captain Starbright was now on his feet,
regarding the person who had saved his life
with grateful curiosity.

tered the Captain.
"Once, I believe"
81 can not, however, call to mind the
time"
ssNo9 A few days since; just at the foot OF
Lone Hollow"
The memory of the time and the note of
warning flashed swiftly into the brain OF
Captain Starbright. He was naturally puz-
zled. Before he could question the young
hunter further Austin Wentword raised
the captured revolver, fired it in the AIR till
every chamber was empty, then flung the
weapon at the feet Of his rival
"There is your revolver, Mr.. Starbrlght,' u
growled the young mechanic. 81 will meet
YOU at another time when no friend IS near
to take your part"
Then Wentword turned and hurried swift
" away.
81 will meet you, hotspur," sneered the
Captain, angrily. He snatched his revolver
from the ground and moved as if to follow
his enemy. The hand Of Fingal detained
him, however.
