BisMARcHs SUCCESSOR.

Won Caprivi Appointed to Succeed the Iron
Chancellor-More Gossip as to the Resig-
nation.
BERLIN, March 2O.-General Won Ca
priv, commander of the Tenth army
corps, has been appointed Chancellor of
the Empire, to succeed Prince Bismarck.
It is announced that Herr Won
Boettcher will become President of the
Prussian Ministry and that Count Eu-
lenburg, Governor of Hesse Nassau, will
succeed Won Boetticher as Imperial Min
lister of the Interior. Count Herbert
Bism arck, who persists in resigning his
post of Imperial Foreign Minister, will
be assigned to an ambassadorship.
Ministers Herrfurth and Won Mays
bath have resigned, the latter because
of Prince Bismarck's support against the
increased demand for strategetic COM
munications.
General Won Caprivi's duties as Chan
cellor will not, however, include the di-
rection of the Foreign Ministry as during
Prince Bismarck's Chancellorship.
1t is stated that the Emperor William
intimated his intention to abolish the
Office of President of the Prussian Min
istry, which proposal Prince Bismarck
stoutly opposed. The disagreement be-

to come at that hour. Shortly there
after the Chancellor formally rendered
his resignation.

FARM NOTES.

One-third cornmeal and two-thirds
wheat with skim milk makes a good
ration for poultry.
Grass is an important item on the
farm, and in system of rotation, from
one-third to one-half the acreage of the
farm should be in grass.
The State Agricultural College is en-
deavoring to introduce Kaffir corn into
many parts of Western Kansas believ-
ing it to be a more profitable crop in
those sections than corn and wheat.
Crop-expert Prime says: s'The low
prices of farm produce have certainly
awakened the farmers to their economic
condition and they begin to realize more
than they ever have done that they
must plant other crops.''
A correspondent of the Nebraska
Farmer says: In growing sweet corn a
supply for as long time as possible
should be secured, and while this can be
done by repeated planting, better plan
is to use two or three varieties, one
early, one medium and one late, and
then less planting will be necessary.
In order to obtain the largest possible
| quantity of honey the bee-keeper at the
beginning of the season should examine
every hive, and, when the flow COM
| mences should take out from the brood
| nest every frame except those filled
| with brood. These should be placed in
the center of the hive. and plain (divi-
| siOn) boards on each side.
String beans for use while green NAV
be planted as soon as danger of frost is
past, or before, if care is taken to protect
the young plants on chilly nights. The
term ''string," however, no longer APP
plies to the best variety, which is now
| stringless- The early bunch beans
are beautiful yellow, and not only de-
| sirable cooked as a vegetable, but also
make pretty and appetizing salad. Z
| Did any of our farmer readers eve r
stop to think that basket of eggs,
which can be carried by a ten-year-old
boy, will bring more money in the mar
ket to-day than load of corn? It is
true; and the sooner our farmers realize
that the money is in the chickens and
| pigs, and not in 14-cent corn, unless
realized through this medium, the
sooner will they lift the mortgages on
their farms.-Riley (Kan.) Regent
If the ground for your garden has been
we'll plowed in the fall, in many cases it
will not be necessary to pillow it again
A good cultivator will stir the surface of
the soil sufficiently, with the exception
of the root crops, such as beets, satisfy,
parsnips, ETC., the roots grow near the sur
face, and the fertilizer, if applied, should
be near the surface. In good garden,
! however, it will be best to have the soil
rich to the depth of from eight to twelve
| inches.

ANOTHER COLLAPSE.
The Scene of the Indianapolis Calamit
Again Visited.

The Scene of the Indianapolis Calamity
Again Visited.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 2O.-About
one o'clock yesterday afternoon the
wall of the Rocker block, adjoining the
burned Bowen Merrill building,
crushed down on top of the ruins of
Monday evenings fire. For time the
widest rumorS of disaster were afoat,
and before they were set at rest large
portion of the city's inhabitants had
thronged into the adjacent streets and
alleys. After full investigation, how
ever, it was learned that but two men
had been hurt, though many had mar
row escapes. Those injured were but
slightly hurt.
After the crash Mayor Sullivan in
spected the ruins and ordered that the
front wall of the BOwen-Merril1 build
ing be torn down. This was done and a
half hour later the Becker building, a
narrow fOur-story structure, occupied by
a notion store, fell down in heap.
Then the flames broke out again in the
ruins and up to ten o'clock had not been
wholly extinguished, though a flood
of water has been poured into
the piles of wreckage. There is,
however, no fear of further loss Of life,
though the three story stone front build
ing occupied by George w. Sloan, drug
gist, is regarded as unsafe and there ara
fears that the dry goods house of II. p.
WATSON may also succumb.
Snowstorm in New York.
NEW YORK. March 2O.-Snow began
falling heavily in this city about $50
o'clock yesterday morning and fully
seven inches of snow fell. AS conse-
quence traffic was greatly impeded.
The mails were late in their arrival and
ferry traffic was hindered to a great de-
gree. All wires south are Frustrated by
the storm and there was no communica-
ton south of Baltimore by the Western
Union Company during the day. The
snowstOrm was the cause of a collision at
the Grand Central depot of the New
York Central railroad. Engine No. 8
was drawing train from the new wing
of the depot and was taking it to the
yard. 1t had got outside the depot to
a switch when engine No. 10, coming
down the same track, crashed into No
8 and the train of coaches. Fireman
Whitehead had both his legs cut off be-
low the knee and he, will probably die
John McGovern, fireman on the other
engine, was injured, but not severely.
A Game of Hide and Seek Going On in the

GUTHRIE, 1. T., March 2O.-Word has
been received in this city that the SOL
diers were encamped on the Howard,
eight miles southeast of Guthrie. It is
reported that the soldiers will move
northward to-day and that an officer,
who was in a position to know what was
going on, said: ''Our orders are to clear
the Strip of boomers" This confirma-
ton of reports caused terrible rustic
in colonists' camps Men mounted
ponies and were off like flash to warn
the poor settler who had traversed
many q mile with his all in a wagon to

LINCOLN, Neb., March 19.-Messrs.
Morrison and Veasey, of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, at eleven o'clock
yesterday morning began their investi-

number Of prominent citizens from all
parts of the State, some to make COM

to see and hear. All the roads in the
State were represented by attorneys
and prominent officials. Railroad
Commissioner Smith, of Iowa occupied
prominent position among the spectat-
ors, and was an interested listener.
Chairman Walker of the "Gentlemen's"

the proceedings, while five shorthand
reporters and a dozen newspaper men
attempted to record the proceedings.
The first witness examined was J. A.

STOCK ITEMS.

IT the horse is subject to collie, give it
little salt and ashes on its grain once
a day and feed more oats and less corn.
Beef cattle that are ready for market
when two and half years old as rule
pay the farmer more profit than if they
must be fed until nearly four.
There are few farmers that can afford
to bread poor horses The difference
between good horse and a poor one is
too small in cost and too great in value.
Early maturity is an important item
in the cattle as well as the hogs, and
while breeding is an important item, the
breed must possess the ability to grow
rapidly and mature early if the proper
food is supplied.
There are few scrubs that will bear
pushing any thing like as we'll as any
one of the standard breeds; and the
longer the time required to feed or the
larger quantity of feed required to fat
ten is that much towards lessening the
profit.
1t costs more to regain pound of flesh
lost than to produce it, as the loss OF
flesh indicates something wrong in the
condition of the animal All classes OF
stock should be kept thrifty, with a
view of constant increase and early
sales.
A farmer who would not sell his hogs
at So. 10, butchered them, and reports
having received more money for the
lard than he would have got for the hogs
at the price given above. Is there les
son in this for our farmers?-Marysville

breed you have-in your own estimation.
There is doubtless difference in merit
but any of the improved breeds are good
enough. Feed either one of them well
and take good care of it and it will do it
self proud.-Western Rural.
Because a grade pig is well-formed,
and gives evidence of being superior
hog at some day, do not attempt to use
it for breeding purposes, if a male, as it
will not transmit uniformity to its prog
eny. The only way to improve swine
at the lowest cost is by using pure-bred
males.
When the colt has been taught to let
you mount him without any nervous
ness or Impotence take him out into
the yard or shed where you have been
leading him and mount him there, let
cling him stand still with you or walk, as
he pleases. If he stands still five min
utes after you have mounted him Sc
much the better. but very few, if any,
colts will do that.
The Germans have saying which
literally interpreted means: There is
gold under the foot of sheep" Now,
what is meant by this, is, that when
we'll attended to sheep-husbandry is
very profitable. There are two har-
vests. SO to speak. viz, harvest from
the sale of lambs and harvest from the
sale of wool. Besides these sheer
greatly enrich the pastures. They dis.
tribute their fertilizer all over.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 19.-Some
time ago James b. Matney, one of the
wealthiest farmers and business men in
the county, owner of large Touring
mill in the country, received several
anonymous letters stating that if he did
not put $500 in tin box and deposit it
at the foot Of a certain tree on his land
his mill would be burned and all his
stock poisoned. Yesterday Matney de-
posted a tin box with few cents in it
at the tree designated. He then watched
for the fellow with a shotgun and when
he approached and began looking for
the box Matney fired, soaring him away,
after he had discovered that it was one
of his near neighbors, Louis Curd, who
was financially embarrassed. Last even

Meeting of the Cherokee Livestock Assoc
citation at Caldwell, Kan.
CALDWELL, Kan, March 19.-The
Cherokee Strip Livestock Association
met here yesterday in annual session.
The meeting was called to order at two
o'clock by Vice-President Charles 81.
Eldred, of Medicine Lodge. A few
minor matters were disposed of and the
board of directors of last year were re-
elected by reclamation. The board
afterward reelected the old officers.
From good authority it is learned that
the cattlemen accept the inevitable with
good grace and are preparing to move
by October 1. The proper officers have
been instructed to pay the Cherokees
the rent from July until October 1.
The fact of the many fires of late on
the Strip was discussed and it was de-
cided to draw up a memorial to Presi-
dent Harrison asking for protection
from a repetition of these acts.
