THE DALLAS BURGLAR

Last night about IL clock a negro
with what intent is not known, entered
the sleeping apartments of the family of
| Mr.. Payne, who resides in the vicinity
of the coal chute and the Texas and Pa
cific railway in East Dallas. The first
intimation the inmates had of his presence
was when Mrs. Payne, who was sleeping
with her husband, placed her hand over
the bed railing and it struck the head of
the negro, who seemed to be on his knees
bESthe bedside. Mrs. Payne screamed ;,
atsdthe scoundrel ran, carrying with him
bs8fF. Payne's pantaloons as he leaped
through the door. Mr.. Payne was on
his feet in an instant, but having no
weapon he could only give chase, and
that he did without hesitating. The ne
gro proved much the fleetest, however,
and outdistanced his pursuer. In going
from the door to the gate with the panta-
looms the watch fell out, but he managed
to secure the small change in the pockets.
After getting a few steps from the gate
and seeing that Mr.. Payne had nothing
with which to defend himself, he turned
around suddenly and began firing. The
screaming of Mrs. Payne had attracted
Marshal Beeman and he was approaching
the house when the negro fired the first
time. AS he drew nearer he says he saw
a party taking deliberate aim and he
thought the mark possibly was mad
dog, and he called to the darky to
know what he was shooting at. The
marshal was dumbfounded when for
reply two balls came whlzzing
right close to him in quick succession.
The shootist, who, it seems, emptled his
pistol with these and then subsidized by
dropping out of sight behind an embank-
ment. Capt. Beeman made a close
search for him without success, and he
then went home and got his dogs. They
followed the trail well for some time, but
finally lost it CD Live Oak street. The
negro is described as being five feet ten
inches high, weighs probably one hun
dxed and fifty pounds, and wore dark
SIT of clothes. His balls took no effect.

RoBBING A NIGER.

81 East night Hugh McDougill reports that
as he was walking down the Central rail-
road track towards South Dallas, and
when he had reached point about one
fourth of mile south of the oil mills, a
white man met him and without any
warning whipped out from his boot leg a
very long pistol, the muzzle of which he
planted square in McDougill's face, and
told him to shell out. There seemed to
be no alternative there at that lonely spot,
and so McDougill allowed the robber to go
through his pockets. He took a watch
and nine or ten dollars in pocket change
and quietly went on his way.

The SCHOOL BOOK LAW.
Bids Coming In-ActiOn OF the Marion
County Board.
From the Daily OF MAY q

From the Daily OF MaY2
The county board OF education met yesterday
in annual session, but on account of the delay
of the state board of education in the matter OF
the new schoOl-book law it adjourned TO meet
again upon the first Monday of June, by which
time il is expected that the state board will
have decided upon some plan of action.
The fact was developed yesterday in the dis
cussion upon the matter that all the trustees
composing the board had been favored with
circulars by Van Antwerp, Bragg Il Co. OF
Cincinnati, but judging from the remarks
dropped by the recipients the Cincinnati
b use is not likely to succeed in its schemes
tn the Marion county board. If il had rep
resentative at yesterdays meeting he did not
make mis- presence known. Although the
time OF a number OF the books used in the
county schools is now ont, the board deter
mined not 10 take any final action in regard TO
their renewal until the June meeting. The
new law seemed TO meet with favor in the eyes
of the majority of the trustees.
Supt Flick is now engaged in arranging for
the enumeration of school children, which is
coming in, and will be completed in few days.
The reports thus FAR received show decided
falling off in the out townships but consider
able gains in Center township and the suburbs.
In West indianapolis especially there has been
q great increase, the enrolment this year being
eco, whereas last year il was only 425. Two
new schools houses of four rooms each are 10
be erected there. Gains are observable along
the gas belt where mains ere being laid and
wOrkmen employed in so doing. The decrease
in the out townships is attributed by Mr.. Flick
70 the advent of improved farming machinery
and the consequent falling off in the number
of farm hands. Many of the tenement houses
IN this district are now empty.
The great interest that is taken in the new
school-book law is shown by the manner in
which the state superintendent Office is flooded
with inquiries concerning it. The inquiries
come by the hundred. Atty.-Gen. Kitchener
has decided that the schooI-book commission
ers may demand bond of the contractors for the
faithful performance Of their contracts. Among
the seekers for Information are twenty-five
prospective bidders on the contract for supply
ing books to the Indiana schools. 1t will be
remembered that during the time the school
book question was before the legislature the
representatives OF the trust were vOciferOus in
their assertions that no bids would be received.
Like good many other statements of the lob
byists this has proven false.

When the ground is dry. corn requires
a heavier and firmer covering, SAYS the
american AgriculitTis 1t is sometimes
said that the later the planting the heav-
Ter and firmer should be the covering; but
this is true only so lar as it holds good
that the later in the season the drier the
ground. Sometimes the ground contains
more moisture in May than in April; then
the May covering should be the lighter
and looser. Generally, however, toward
the close of the planting season the ground
has lost so much moisture that not only
should the covering be heavy, but u may
we'll be compacted by a stroke with the
hoe or even by tramping upon it. If
the planting is done with two
horse planter, the runners are properly
set to go deeper, and the firming action
of the wheels is not disturbed. In fact, if
the ground is unusually dry, it is adj
visable to go over the field with a heavy
roller two days after the corn is planted.
termination has not yet reached the stage
where the displacement of the earth by
the roller viii prove injurious to the corn,
while this displacement will kill myriads
of weeds that have just started near the
surface. fused early enough, roller is
good weed-destroyer II, on the other
hand, the ground is damp, as it is
most likely to be early in the
season, less covering is required,
and the covering should not be
compacted with the hoe or foot Ii the
planting is done with two-horse planter
the harrow should follow close after, to
loosen the covering compacted by the
wheels. The amount and density of the
covering should also be modified by the
character of the soil. A light, loose soil
therefore one that dries out rapidlv-may
well be compacted above the seed when a
heavy, clayey soil should be kept loose
and the covering OF the former should be
heavier than the latter. The general
principle is that the covering should be
sufficient to keep moisture about the seed,
but not of a character to retain an excess
of moisture or To shut out the warmth of
the sun; and the shallowest covering that
will secure the essential conditions of
termination is the best.

self-Blanohing Celery.

The new golden self-blanching celery
and the white plume are by many persons
regarded as Identical, but this is mis-
take The white plume is a sport from
Crawford's haIf-dwarf, and like many
other sporting characters it appeared in
several places the same season. The
golden self-blanching is a sport from the
Sandringham, and appeared in two or
more places the same season. The differ
ence between the two is as marked as is
that OF the parents. The Sandringham
being the richest in flavor, has impaired
that quality to the ''sport," which makes
the golden self-blanching the better of the
two. While both are good and very
beautiful. neither is as good without
earthing ND as with it. For tenderness
and favor earthing is a necessity.

Cabbage After Early Potatoes.
American AQricuIturist.

To get good crop of cabbage after early
potatoes, it is only necessary TO have good
strong healthy plants to commence with.
To obtain such, SOW the seed in drills, not
less than one foot apart, and thinly in the
row, the last week of May or the first
week in June. One ounce of seed will
produce 1000 plants. and if properly cul-
tivated on good soil will produce the best
plants in thirty days or by July first. After
digging, the potato patch should be freshly
plowed, and the soil thoroughly pulver-
lied My plan is then to open burrows
four feet apart and apply 500 pounds OF
some good fertilizer per acre in these rows,
covering with corn coyerer, and set the
plants three feet apart on these ridges.
Cover them deeply, even if the leaves are
partly covered. Should the soil be dry or
a dry spell be likely to follow. tramp
around each plant after setting. 1t is best
TO lift the plants With digging fork rather
than pull them from the seed bed, espe-
cially if at all dry. Last year / sowed
both fat Dutch cabbage and caulifiower
seed on June l, had fine plants to set out
June % and had both cabbage and cauli-
flower ready for market Sept. %.
