Selecting Sweet Corn for Seed.

The largest aud finest ears of corn
true to name should always be selec-
ted for seed. In growing corn for
market, leave two rows-the last two
always for seed. Give the same cul-
tivation to all. In saving corn for
seed, both yellow, white and sweet,
we find it best to top each kind, SO
the ears can dry out more thorough
ly, and when dry, select the best ears,
and put each variety carefully away
by itself on the upper barn floors.
Some careful oultlvators brade the
husks, and tie two ears together and
hang them up, to remain through the
winter. Those stalks having two
ears each are the best to choose from,
selecting the one nearest the ground,
if possible, having the characteristics
of its kind. In walking through
quite large patch of sweet corn in
August, grown by a trucker, | was
surprised to find so many stalks with
two ears each. He informed me that
abundant manuring and careful cul-
tivation were given, and for many
years most rigid selection of the best
ears for seed. Large, fine ears of
sweet corn are always in demand,
and a dozen ears of sweet corn can
be grown on few feet of ground. 1t
is profitable crop to grow. Save
the best of it for seed.

4 Mans Throat Cut and Head Shot
Away at Glen Ellen.
SANTA Rosa. July 2d-At about IL o'clock
last nighta an alarm was given at the Sheriff.
Office Deputy Sheriff Groshon answered
the call, and was informed that there had
been a murder committed mt Glen Ellen,
in this county, and that the murderer was
in town at a certain saloon. The deputy
proceeded to the saloon, where he met
man named Tom Wilson, who confessed
to having killed, that afternoon, man
called Crazy 10" who formerly lived at
Petaluma.
"Yes, killed him." said Wilson TO the
deputy. Il Just cut his throat from ear TO
ear, and thenshe said for me to finish the
job, so | got my gun, placed it as his nose
and blew the whole top OF his head off. :"
Wilson, while frankly admitting his crime,
did not assign any reason for it.
When taken to Jail by the deputy be
said: "Oh. that is nothing l have killed
a hundred men," "Where?" asked the
deputy. "Oh, in the Indian war;" was the
answer. The murderer is a Swede, about
80 years old, and has ranch near Glen
Ellen, where the tragedy took place.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
SANTA Rosa, July 2d.-A murder, whose
fendish and diabolical cruelty is not para
lelled in the criminal annals of Sonoma
county, was committed at Munn's Canyon,
near Glen Ellen, last night. A Swede
named Tom Wilson, IS years Of age, killed
his companion, called Crazy Joe, by cut
ting his throat aud afterward blowing the
top of his head off with shotgun. The
murderer gave himself up, and was brought
to the county jail near midnight.
When the Associated Press correspondent
saw Wilson this morning he learned the
following story
1t appears that the murderer and his vic
tim had been drinking wine together on
Charles Jobnson's ranch up in the canyon,
and both had been carousing two or three
days until they were on the verge of deli
rum trsmens or some other satanic aber-
ration of the mind, when quarrel ensued.
Crazy Joe" kicked Wilson on the side
whereupon the latter rushed at him with
an open knife, but intended only to cut Joe
in the face, but the knife fell across his
neck and cut his throat from ear to ear
The wound WAS sufficient in itself to pro-
duce death. Joe cried out in his agonies
for Wilson to kill him quick.
Wilson, with a cruelty of the intensest
precision, walked deliberately TO the house,
where he procured shotgun and came
back to the dying victim, and placing the
muzzle between the contorted and blood
stained lips, fired. The charge blew the
anterior portion of the skull in fragments.
After the deed was committed Wilson
asked Charles Johnson to go for q Con-
stable. Before The Constable could arrive
Wilson became impatient and walked to-
ward Glen Ellen, and meeting TWO men
asked them TO bring him to Santa Rosa.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
Chronic Rheumatism Cured.

Robert G. Eldert, Valley Stream, n. Y,
writes: Il am boatman, and upwards of
sixty years of age. l have suffered Sc
verely from rheumatism of the lower part
OF my back. My back ached without ces-
sation, and at times 1 thought l would be
paralyzed. [ procured two Allcock's Po-
rous Plasters, and put them across the
lower part of my spine. In twenty-four
hours al pain had ceased. At the end of a
week put on two fresh Allcock's PIasters,
wore them ten days, then took them off,
and washed my back with little alcohol,
which removed every trace of the plasters.
1t is now three months since the plasters
cured me, and 1 feel very much stronger
and better than ever before"

England Will ASK Tor a New treaty with
Japan-The Samoan Treaty.
LONDON, July 2d.-In the House of Com
mons this evening the Speaker read mes
sage from the Queen commencing to the
House the granting of an extra provision
to Prince Albert Victor of Wales and the
Princess Victoria of Prussia, On the occa-
sion of their marriage.
Labouchere gave notice that he would
oppose any votes of money for the Prince
and Princess if they were proposed before
the Commission On Royal Grants was APP
pointed.
In the evening Sir James Ferguson, Par.
liamentary Secretary 10 the Foreign Office
in answer to an inquiry stated that the new
treaty between Japan and Mexico had not
yet been ratified. The treaty between the
United States and Japan, which was
signed on February Goth, would go into
force February IL, 1890.
The Government, he said, would shortly
begin negotiations with Japan with the OBJ
ject of securing for England equal priv.
leges with all other countries. In relation
to the treaty agreed upon by the Samoan
conference at Berlin, he said it would not
be proper to divulge any of its provisions
until it had been ratified by the United
States Senate. The statement, however
that England had agreed to retire from her
position as one of the three protecting
powers at Samoa and act only as an UNI
pire between the United States and Ger
many, was unfounded.
