Krohn about it.
.. Second Day.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Jan. 31.-The
Legislative investigating committee met
at nine a. m. yesterday and recalled T. G.
Buckley, who in reply to questions by the
Attorney General said:
81 can not give the date Of the contract
made with Barnes and Lopez, bnt it was
after the appointment Of Hiatt The con-
tract provided that Barnes. Lopez and
secret partners to my knowledge. 1 had
none. Nothing was done under the
contract because Barnes and I could
not agree. Krohn drew up the con-
tract but had no interest in it He was
not the particular friend OF the party.
Nothing was said in the contract about
Barnes taking care Of Hiatt, nor nothing
ON the part of myself about taking care Of
Richter. And desire to state here I did
not talk with Richter about coal contracts.
but did have a conversation with Hiatt !"
The witness gave full account Of the
meeting Of Barnes Keller and Lopez and
himself at Atchison, but stated that neither
Richter nor Hiatt were there. The meet
ing broke up in disagreement, because
Barnes and witness were not friends.
Krohn came in as a sort of peacemaker.

FUNNY AND FORTUNATE.

Novel Way In Which General Swain Got.
PardOned and Restored to His Office.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa novel cues.
ton has been raised from the fact that the
President ordered General Swain, an Off.
Ger undergoing sentence of suspension
from his rank, before a retiring board.
The rather startling proposition has been
advanced by some of those versed in mill.
tary law. that the effect of the action of
the President in ordering General Swain
before retiring board was to pardon him,
and that consequently he is now again de
jure the Judge Advocate General of the
army. 1t is held by those that q suspend
ed officer has no rank or status in the
army during his term Of suspension, and
therefore an officer suffering sentence Of
suspension from rank can not be brought
before retiring board. II he has no rank
he can't be retired, for il retired it must
be on some rank. 1t is claimed as undeni.
able, that while the President, of course
did not 50 intend it. his action operated as
q pardon, and must SO be regarded.

SWEET potatoes.

What a Large Cultfvator Has to say
About Their Value Food Cor Stock.
Those farmers in the West and South
who raise grain and stock should GER
tainly raise sweet potatoes to feed their
stock in connection with grain. Aside
from their, fat and fesh-forming ma
terials they exercise a cooling infu-
ence on the system, materially reduc-
ing the chances Of disease. From three
to six times as many bushels per acre
can be grown as of corn, thus making
them the cheapest TO raise They can
be easily grown on almost any kind of
soil where water does not stand at any
time, but on low land the ridges should
be made quite high. and pants of the
Golden Queen and Red Bermuda set at
least two feet apart on the ridge. The
above kinds are the most productive
and are excellent varieties for the table.
A large cultivator says that fed with
corn-one-third potato and two-thirds
corn-to hogs, and given nothing but
water to drink, they increased in
weight much faster than others which
had their feed of corn supplemented
with the milk and Stops from the
kitchen. The analysis of sweet potato
shows 6a2 per cent of starch and 14.S
per cent. OF sugar, which il proof
enough of their value as food prod
uct.
At this time, more than ever befc-e.
the profits of the farm depend upon
the economical methods and in its

all kinds OF, farm produce makes it

USES OF INSECTS.

New Theories Advanced by Prominent
New jersey Entomologist.
George d. Hulst, entomologist of the
New Jersey Experiment Station, holds
to the opinion that injurious insects
after all are not an unmitigated evil.
They make production little mora
labOriOus, he says, and add to the
chances of financial success for the
careful man. We have yet much to
learn about insects, and how to deal
with them; but we are advancing. A
knowledge of the life history of every
insect is needed in order to show US at
what stageof its existence-egg, worm
or caterpillar, chrysalis and perfect
insect-wes can take it at its great
est disadvantage. Of poisonous
remedies the arsenical prepare
tons answer the purpose for leaf-eaters

pyrethrum kill by contact A mixture
of the two kinds. however. Paris green
or London purple with kerosene emul-
sion or pyrethrum, secure two chances
to kill, and will be found most effective
in many cases. - -
Mr.. Hulst also states that We need
stricter laws. or stricter- enforcement
of existing laws, against the destruction
of birds The demands for material
for decorating female head-gear have
done more to strip the. country of our
song birds than the quarrelsome nature
of the English sparrow. Among useful
insect-eaters Mr.. Hulst names toads.

have good stock. but he must build up
reputation for his stock and himself.
His stock may boot the very best kind,
and yet if he has not been able TO build
UP a reputation for honesty and fair
dealing. he will find it somewhat DIM
cult to build up a good trade.
Its not only necessary that he should
own good stock. but he must be able
to make and breed so that the offspring
that he may secure win not only be OF
fully as good quality as the parents,
but he must be able to still further
transmit these good qualities to his Off
spring., The appearance of his is not
always . :, criterion: of this. and
this is. one reason why it
is so necessary to deal with
only reliable parties. The purchaser
of improved stock, generally makes an
Investment that he expects to be profit
able. Nearly all kinds of breeding
stock are sold at prices considerably
above the average market prices. con-
sidering every thing else to be equal,
except IS for breeders. ..,-.. 8. ..s..@.s.
In determining question of this
kind the reliability and honesty of the
breeder. becomes a very Important
item, as it is the purchasers principal
reliance for securing good breeding
stock. And the breeder who has start
ed out with the intention of securing.
or rather of building up trade. must.
be honest with his customers, or in a
short time he will find himself unable
to make sales at any thing like fair
price. A reputation for honesty is at
the foundation of success with the
breeders. and if any thing like last.
ing business is secured it is abso-
lutely essential. 1t is true that occa-
sionally a breeder will be able by sharp
practices to seemingly make a success
for some time, but he is certain to be
overtaken at last; while on the other
hand. reputation for honesty and fair
dealing will grow. and the longer the
better. so that the reputation. or the
name itself, will be quite an item.

WILD DISORDERS.
Regulators Terrorize Village In Ohio and
Wreck Houses.

Regulators Terrorize a village In Ohio and
Wreck Houses.
MANSFIELD, O., Jan. 2S-A year ago
last October w. 81. Reynolds, editor of
the Ashland Times, was shot and killed
by James Mason, and he and his brother
Calvin were indicted for the murder, but
were acquitted. February %, 1888, the
Chesrown brothers, we'll -to-do farmers, in
struggle for the custody of their father,
resisted the execution of a writ of habeas
corpus and shot and killed Constable
William 81. Kelly and Special Deputy Jacob
HOidert. Four of the brothers, Elias, Wes-
Icy. Adam and John, and Mervin, the son
of Wesley, were jointly and separately
indicted for the murder of each. Elias,
who confessed to firing the shots that
killed the men, was first tried foe the muir
der of Kelly and acquitted of the charge.
The indictments against two Of the others
were nollied and the rest were admitted to
small bail on the remaining indictments.
Between one and twelve O'Clock Friday
night the village of Jeromeville, whore the
murdered officers lived, was occupied by q
body of mounted men and footmeIs, who
took complete possession and begah firing
guns and revolvers and ordering every
body off the streets. The regulators were
disguised in every manner, many
wearing white coverings owe. their
face. The houses of William, Nc
Co1man and Nathan Eddy, two well known
outspoken sympathizers of the Chesrowns,
on the main street Of the village, which
were old tructures, were soon torn 10 the
ground, the mob meanwhile keeping UP
continuous firing Of guns and yelling iiks
50 many demons. sf.
The mob was intent upon wreax:1g
vengeance upon McColman and his wife,
whom they threatened to hang, but they
succeeded in making their escape.
Another, citizen whose sympathy ~as
with the Chesrowns was chased out Of the
village. The identity of none of the zeero-
bers of the mob was discovered but they
are supposed to be of the villagers, mae
tenths of whom were friends OF the muir
dered men. tssttsf $3.50
Foiled in capturing those most obnoxious
to them the regulators started post haste
for the house of John and Adam Ches-
rown, several miles away, but the latter
had been appraised in some manner of the
approach Of the mob and when the Iatter
reached the Chesrown farm their intended
victims had made good their es-
cape. Saturday morning written notice
