Gen. Mahone's Conference.

There were over 400 Malone republicans
10 Petersburg last night In attendance upon
conference called by Gen. VIM. Malone,
az chairman of the republican State commit
tee. The conference was held at the Ii
brary Hall, and among those in attendance
were Col. w. G. Eiam, Congressman
Bowden, Congressman Brown, ex Congress.
man Bowen Mr.. Pat McCau, Judge Henry,
Dr.. R A. Wise, Mr.. s. Brown Allen, Mr..
Jos. II. Walker, Mr. John Dickey, Mr.. Joel
Campbell, ex Congressman w. E. Gaines,
and many other prominent republicans of
the State. The conference was presided
over by Gen. Malone, who made brief
speech on opening the meeting. Capt. Asa
Rogers acted as secretary. General Ma.
hone expressed much pleasure at seeing
such large turnout of the republicans Of
the State and said that it showed that the
republicans were wide awake to the
work before them When he said that there
was only one republican party in the Stale,
and that he would never recognizs the
"kickere," there was storm of applause.
Ia told his hearers that the conference had
bean called for work, and not for play. He
then asked that the counties be called for
reports, beginning with Accomac. At IL
the call of the counties was still in progress.
The cal gave rise to number of spee ches,
in the majority of which Mahone's cardi-
dacy for the governorship was strongly ad
vocated. There we're some who spoke 10
favor of Col. Lamb. and others who favored
Park Agnew, but the drift of the mbj )rity
was In favor of Malone.
The meeting was held with closed doors.
and no one was admitted but those entitled
to seats in the conference. Every county in
the State was represented with but one or
two exceptions. The object of the gather
ing was to hear expressions of opinion as
to who are the best men to nominate az cam
didates for the State ticket. The conference
will in all probability be in session for two
days, and will be followed by meeting OF
the republican State committee, all the
members of which are in Petersburg.
LATER.
Shortly after u o'clock the conference
finished its business proper. which was elm.
ply to confer as to the condition and best
interests of the party. The State commit
tee to-day will fix the day for holding the
State convention and apportion the tele.
gates. The State committee also met yes
terday and were In conference at the Gen.
erals residence during the day.
Among those In attendance from this city
were Messrs. D. A. Windsor, R. T. Lucas,
G. S. Dearborn and others.

Methods OF Procedure That

'They talks, and they talks, and
they talks" said captious member of
of the Long parliament of England.
''and they don't do nothing"
Which. as he intended to tell the
truth but did it awkwardly, will pass
for fair criticism of the present legis-
lature of Minnesota. Sixty calendar
days will have elapsed this week since
the session began. and nothing in par
ticular has been accomplished. Private
bills be the score have been passed, but
only few important general measures
have been touched, and the calendars
and general orders of both houses are
loaded down with bills not acted upon.
One of the strong criticisms passed
upon the house of two years ago was
that it talked too much, but the present
body cannot escape from that, nor of
the charge of filibustering to an extent
that is waSteful OF time. Almost any
trivial matter is sufficient to provoke
debate that ofttimes lasts for two hours,
after which there is speedy adjourn
ment. All important work is being
crowded down to the last days of the
session, when the chances are that it
will be left out altogether.
For curiosity's sake the GLOBE has
kept time check on the members of
the house for the last two weeks end

Terrible Deed Of a Woman at
Helena.
Special to the Globe
HELENA, Mont. March 3.-Joseph
Anderson quarreled tonight with a
woman known as Lizzie Anderson, with
whom he had been living for some time
on North Warren Street, this
city. Several times during the
early part of the night the
police attracted by the disturbance they
created, cautioned them to desist.
About 10:30 the woman seized burn
ing lamp and struck Anderson on the
back of the neck with it, SCATTERING the
glass and deluging Anderson with coal
Oil, which instantly ignited. Anderson
ran out of the house, his clothing
ablaze. No one went to his assistance
for several minutes, but finally hack
driver passing took one of his laprobes
and wrapped it about Anderson, extin-
gushing the blaze. The Injured man was
taken to the hospital. His burns will
probably result fatally. He was an old
stage driver in the days before the rail-
road reached this place. and had a rep
utation for having fought road agents,
who then infested the country. The
woman was arrested.

ened and fed night and morning. with
light feed of long hay at noon. will keep
cattle in good condition, in fair flow of
milk, and pay good percentage on the
labor of preparing the food, thus leav-
ing the bulk of the hay for sale at re-
munerative prices, says Kate M. BuSick
in the Jersey Bulletin, and ADDS: AS it
may be of interest to some, mainly on
the score of simplicity and economy,
will give my method of preparing feed.
My corn was cut and cured before
frost, without drop of rain
having fallen upon it, and was
in consequence in the best pos
sible condition. Supplying myself with
the best power cutter l could find. /
hired a traction engine for one day at
$3.50, cutting sufficient during that time
to feed twenty-five head of stock six
weeks, one-third of the cnt being q
mixture of wheat straw and timothy. /
had constructed of heavy plank box
eight feet long by three feet wide and
two and two-thirds feet high, with a
tight cover. At night the cut feed
mixed with bran, ground oats and
corn and cob meal, is placed in the
box, salt added, sufficient boiling
water turned over the mass to
thoroughly moisten and the lid
closed down. In the morning each
animal receives just what it will eat up
clean. The box emptied. is filed again
the same way and the contents allowed
to steam until time for the evening feed.
In this way the shortcut cornstalks be-
come Softened, removing all danger of
the cattle's mouths becoming sore. On
warm and pleasant days the cattle are
turned into the yard, where they nibble
at the straw stack or fodder rick or lie
down and chew the cud in perfect con-
tentment. The hitherto despised straw
and fodder with the ground feed
affords better balanced ration for
milk and butter than the best of hay
alone, and at the same time allowing
the bulk of hay to be sold at SIG per
ton. Not only do the cattle and horses
relish this prepared feed, but it would

mess of the warm, soft mash on win
ter's morning, licking it up clean and
ready at night for more. Later On /
shall add a modicum of Oil meal and
cottonseed meal to the ration, as the
weather becomes colder.
On the same subject Fancey E. Fuller
says in the Farmers Advocate" Dry
fodder corn is not used for milk pro-
ductiOn to the extent that it should be.
When cut and steamed and fed with
bran and shorts, it makes a most ex-
cellent and cheap food, and the knOwl-
edge of its merits should be more thor
Oughly disseminated throughout the
country. When it cannot be steamed,
IT run through cutting box and damp
ened, it has almost equally beneficial re-
suits.

The Musical Advance.

The second number of the Musical
Advance has just been issued, and is
fully up to the high standard estab-
lished by its initial number. The paper
is treating musical matters largely from
scientific standpoint, and is not merely
a retailer of gossip and odds and
ends. The current number con-
tains a valuable paper by DR.. John
L. Fulton, the st. Paul oculist,
and aurist, upon the physiology of hear
ing, a treatise upon the elements of
music, rules for composition, and an
other interesting feature, a lesson in
vocal culture and plain technique. A
department is also devoted to literature,
in which versifcation, prose and dram
aturgy are to be considered scienti-
fieally. A treatise On society small talk
is now running in the paper, which con-
tains many valuable hints and aids to
conversation
