Murderou, Convicts.

distressing homicide occurred at the
state sylum for insane criminals in lOni0
the other morning. Olaf Algren is among
the inmates who are counted as dangerous,
and has hithcr o developed strong homic-
dial TENDENCIES. He has three times at
tempted 10 take his own life, and once
mangled himself in a horrible manner, but
reco, cred. He is usually kept in restraint
and when not so confined l. In charge of
keeper. 1od.y he was taken out for air
aud exercise in charge of Attendant Clark.
Agren, as he p ssed the kitchen. asked TO
be allowed TO 90 in and get drink This
Clark permitted, and though against h
instructions, allowed Algren to pass in
alone while Clark remained in the door.
The cook and several patients were in the
kitchen A large carving knife lay on the
table which Algren seized and attacked
patient named James L. jackson. The
latter started to run, but was overtaken
near the butler door by Algren, who plung
ed the knife in % Jackson's back, penetrat-
ing the heart. jackson fell dead on the
stairs. Keeper Clark, the cook and the re
naming patients then succeeded in disarm
ing Algren
The same " another assault occurred
in the PRISON proper,
IN the furniture department agreat many
prisoners are employed who are necessarily
allowed the freedom OF several rooms, aud
over whom the most yig.lant keeper cannot
keey a constant eye.
Taking advantage of this liberty a con
Wet named George Deweignt, a l0-year
man. sought TO settle at the point of knife
"a difference that had existed between him
anu "a convict OF the name Of Charles Stan
Ley.
Aiming himself with knives used in his
department of the factory he stealthily
passed through the engine room and into
the finishing APP 1T ments. lnluiring OF an
inmate where Stanley was he was directed
TO the varnish room. AS he approached
Stanley him coming with knife, and
unobserved slipped behind some stock,
leaving his co workman, Jamer Meany,
STOPPING over pail OF varnish.
Dewelght crcpt up behind him and think
ing he was the man he sought to murder,
pouuced upon his back and stabbed him
twice. Meany stru g.ed from his grip. As
he arose TO run the matdened man stabbed
him the third time in the left side Of the
head The blade Of the knife penetrated
the or.fice of the ear and broke Oft near the
handle. The wounded man ran out of the
shop into the yard, closely pursued by his
assaiant.
one OF the keepers Of the shop heard the
disturbance and attempted TO enter the
room. but was knocked down by Deweight
as the two men (Meany and Deweight)
rushed out Deweight then turned and
drawing second knife, held the crowd OF
convicts, who were attempting TO arrest
him, at bay until second keeper appeared
This man dealt him blow that brought
him to the ground.
The wounas Of the unfortunate prisoner
were dressed by the prison physician, wnC

The weekly crop bulletin for the week

total rainfall was 80 below the average.
The amount of sunshine has been above

ing crops has been beneficial. Corn has
made rapid progress. Haying is well
along, and is about finished in the southern
section. Wheat harvest has been COM
menced in several southern counties, but Is

Cutting Glover.

Whether grown for hay or for seed,
it is important that the first crop
should be cut reasonably early,
as soon as the first he DIS begin to turn
brown, says writer in the Practical
Farmer. IL delayed, as is often done,
there is more or less risk that the
weather will not be sufficiently favora-
BILE TO induce a good growth. and in
consequence the plants failed to make
good start to grow again before the
hot, dry weather sets in. A few days
Of hot, dry weather after cutting off
serious by Injuries, il it does not kill out
the clover and in consequence the sec
ond growth is not as good as it other
wise would be.
While if cut reasonably early and a
good start TO grow is secured so that
the ground is shaded, the plants will
stand considerable drouth and yield u
better crop of seed or larger yield OF
hay at the second cutting or 20 turn
under as green crop for manuring.
In addition 10 this there will be less
loss in handling. If the plants are
allowed TO get too ripe there is a larger
loss in ndlng. As the ripened
leaves and stems break of very easily.
So that whenever the heads are in
full bloom, and a few are turning brown
they can be cut and cured. Too many
make mistake in curing clover, and
allow it to get too dry before moving
away or stacking.
There will be n less loss in handling
and better quality of feed secured il
clover is not allowed TO get too dry.
When the weather is such that the
clover can be cut. it will pay to get
stored under shelter reasonably early.
and if the weather is bright and warm
clover can be cut in the morning and
he hauled in and slowed away late in
the evening. and make hay of better
quality than TO allow it to get too ripe
and then cut, put up in cocks and LEI
cure two or three days; and it should
be an item TO secure not only in good
condition but in such a manner as 10

Stock then should be kept away from
the clover until after the plants make
good start TO grow, as TO turn the
stock in too soon will keep the plants
down so that it will be difficult il no,
impossible to derive the full benefi,

A mass meeting OF citizens was held in
Johnstown, Pa, the other night, for the
purpose Of denOuucing tho methods of DIS
posing Of the relief fund. Resolutions de-
failing their grievances were adopted.
Many representative men Of the place are
unable 10 see where all the money already
