Feeding Fall Pigs.

The most convenient and the easiest
way to feed fall pigs is to give them
whole new corn. While this is true,
it is a most hazardous way to start
them, for they are liable to come to
winter quarters burned out, lacking in
vigor and digestive powers, which
makes it exceedingly probable that
they will go through the winter with
out paying gain.

No succulent food is more greedily
eaten by pigs at any age than beets.
They may be fed any time from the
first trimmings during the growing sea-

They are especially valuable as part
of the winter food for breeding sows,
and some beets should always be saw
ed for that purpose.

while they threw wide open the doors of
emigration, acted on the theory that no
race of people could come to this country
and dominate the Anglo Saxon. The right
of local self-government was inviolate.
Black men had the ballot, and he would
not wish to deprive them of it because it
pie of the South should be let alone,
and when such men as Hack
worth and Schulze were put out they
should not be put back upon the people.
If he had to say how the race question was
to be settled,' he would repeat what the
senator from Ohio (Sherman) was repre-
sented in a newspaper a few days ago to
have said, and that was TO let the people
of each state attend to the matter them
selves. If that was not Senator Sher-
mans opinion it was his (Ooke's). If
the people of the south we're
let alone, if no aid aud comfort were given
to the agitators who disturbed the public
peace in that section, the race question
would be settled quicker than was sup
posed. The negroes would divide in pol
itics, and would not be solid. The whites
would divide and not be solid, and peace
and prosperity would come in that way.
At the close of Senator Coke's speech

TYLER, February 1S.-Cnlonel Eddy,
general manager OF the International and
Great Northern railroad, arrived in the
city to-day to confer with the new receiv-
ers, Messrs. Bonner and Finley, of this
city, wto have qualified and will take
immediate control. The facts of the case
that threw the road into the hands of a
receiver early this month are: Jay Gould
filed a suit in the district court of this
city for $996,99O for money paid out in
1888 to meet interest on the COM
pany's bonds. The company's attor-
news last Monday attempted to
confess Judgment, but the attorneys for
the other parties claiming damages for
INJURIES, asked leave to intervene for their
clients. The court granted leave subject
to exceptions. Others were filed later
and prayed for the appointment of re-
ceiver, saying that the indebtness claimed
by Gould was fraudulent, that he was try
ing to get the advantage over other cred,
itors. 1 he Missouri, Kansas and Texas
was one of the interveners and claimed
that Gould's suit was fraud, and that the
International and Great Northern COM
psny was insolvent and asked for the ap-
pointment of u receiver. The case was
heard before Judge McCord Saturday, and
after argument by different attorneys the
court overruled the motion to strike
out the interventions, and receivers there
upon were appointed. The following cir
cular was sent out tonight by Receivers
Bonner and Finley and General Manager

OMAHA, Neb., February 19.-For some

pose of Furnishing the guilty parties. A
man named C.'M. Clay was waited upon
and taken in charge by the committee.
His friends obtained writ Of habeas cor
pus from the presiding judge in neigh
boring county. The sheriff refused to
serve the writ and the Judge telegraphed
Governor Thayer for the militia. The
governor, however, refused, holding the
Judge had no authority to act. Another
of the supposed thieves, man named
Stewart, rode out of Springview Thursday
night. Saturday morning the horse re-
turned without his rider, aud Stewart has
not been seen since. Twenty men have
been notified to leave Keya, Paha county,
within the next twenty-four hours. It is
feared Clay and Others will be lynched be-
fore the leaders of the committee can be
