For several years we have handled Gar
den and Field Seeds vely extensively and
have deYoled gOodlY share of our time TO
studying their various features, so that now
we are not hoasting when we claim little
knowledge about them. We have tried TO
find out what seeds are best for our neigh
borhood and where to buy good seed. How
well we have succeeded remains for vou TO
hnd out. We have aud are yet trying to
hnd out how we can double and treble our
last seasons sales and have devised several
plans TO do 1t; one is-tO get good seed, of
course, and from responsible parties, An
ether is-to sell cheap and give good hlea-
sures; and still another is-tO get YOU lust
what you want iu tho quickest possible
time and charge you nothing for packing,
freight, ste., Ouly list prices ia catalogue

Attorney Fisher had lodged comnIaint
against him In Squire James J. Boyle's
court and a warrant was issued chargIn0

massive stone prison he was Immediately

and OF the large crowd who thrOnged the
Justices office he seemed TO be the least
concerned. He still maintains that the
shooting was purely accidental, and in the
complete absence of all motive, there is no
evidence Of anything contrary. Something
may develOpe othOr than what is now on
the surface which will put different light
on the affair. This journal has followed
up some of the reports IN circulation, In
regard to quarrel and threats he is said to

THE DEAD BODY
called at che house during Friday, Satur-
day, Sunday and until the hour OF inter
ment on Monday, when the last sad rites
were performed over the remains and the
dead girl was placed beneath the clay, end
ing the first act in the frightful tragedy
that awakened I,ehighton and the sur
rounuinRs to state Of great excitement.
PUBLIC OPINION
IS divided on the question of whether The
tragic affair was the result of accident or
not, though from the evidence of the peo-
pie before the corOneI's jury and the state
ment OF the boy, no motive has been adj
duced TO show wilfulness on the part Of the
accused. There are

THE ROOM.
A representative of the CARBON ADvo-

iiagram of the room, as found below. The
hairs on which the young lovers sat occu-
'ied an alcove formed by the table in front
md the cupboard on the right side, leaving
earcely enough room for the two chairs.
he cupboard is an oddly shaped one being
bout two and half feet wide and probab-
four feet high. According TO CampbelPs
tory the girl was shot while they were In

citing up and moving from their seats, the
hairs would necessarily be pushed back
gainst the wall. The head Of the deaa

THEY couLo nor WAIT.

In announcing last week that the lady
managers Of the Worlds Fair were
liable to burst forth in violent state Of
discomfort II the gentleman managers
should ever stop quarreling long enough
60 give them a chance, we had nothing en-
which to warrant such prophecy except
general information.
We are not acquainted with the per.
sonal characteristics OF the peculiar
idiosyncrRsies, the trials. ambit, ons or pet
diseases Of single lady in the lot. We
do not know whether the majority OF
them look best In a room with blue, pink
or neutral tinted walls, or whether they
are prepared to appear in poetic creations
Of delicious decollete, or whether hav-
ing arrived. as sIinsteis. at a certain
age with decided tendencies to scrawney
augularity, they prefer the prudish pre-
cautions of hgh-neeksd and long
sleeved gowns
We have in fact no information about
their dispositions, the kinds Of dogs,
birds or flowers they affect, whether they
dabble in Browning or babble about
Tolstoi We do not even know what
shades they wear or whether being the
Wives Of rich pork packers they wrap
themselves in generous confusion OF all
the colors at once to step into the asst on
ished presence Of the less successful
abattoir aristocracy as a personifed edi-
tion the seven hued rainbow.
But wo did know that the Lady
Managers were women. Hence Il Is not
strange that we should risk the predic-
tion that there was liable to be an erup-
tion.
There has been an eruption. But, ali

agent at Chicago. who has dealt with the
event 50 tenderly, so considerably and
so affectlonstely that it is mellowed and

aged Oeeupants Nearly sufocnted.
Fire broke out in the Hotel Kirkwood,
northwest corner of Third and Shipley
streets, early this morning and, although
for time the destruction of the build
ing was threatened, by prompt sction
the flames were extipguished before
much was consumed The FIRE started
In the heater 6ue In the basement Of the
house, and the flames burst through the
hoor of the sitting room above, to a
closet. This gave them complete access
TO the third story floor. The blaze here
was stronger than at any point, owing TO
the draft from the burning passage. In
che fourth story, directly over the fire.
| the heat was so intense and the smoke 30
thick that the doors and windows we're
warped and blsckened
Samuel Darlington. a machinist at the
works Of the J NJ Poole Comany and a
boarder at the hotel was the first one to
discover the FIRE and the occupants of the
building owe their lives TO his prompt
action. Mr. Darlington's room was on
the third floor front. A crowd of men
standing on the corner below. kept him
awake until after midnight by loud talk
ing aud laughing. AT 2 90 o'clock he
awoks after brief nap, and realized that
| the room was filed with smoke He at
FIRST thought that s)n e5ody had left a
lighted cigar In the room and arose and
turned up the light. He saw
In an instant that the smoke was pour
| ing in the transom over his door, and
bursting through the hall way he alarmed
| the household BE discovered that a
safe escape could be made by the stair
way and announced this fact at the door
of each room.
The other occupants of the house were
| O. j II Beckett, the proprietor, Mrs.
Beckett and child, Mira Thompson, Harry
| Bowers, Matthew Mes and a colored
| porter Bowers and Mics were on the
fourth floor, and when they were thor
| oughly aroused their eyes were almost
blinoed and they were choking with the
strong smoke. Mics fad to the fat roof
in the rear of the fourth story hallway,
and Bowers CROPPED his way down the
stairway, although almost suffocated
| with the smoke. The other occupants
with great difficulty, and with but q
scant supply OF clothing escaped.
An alarm OF fire was struck from box
%, and part of the Fire Department
was on the scene in few minutes. The
fremen acted with great pPecaution and
by doing so saved much valuable prop
erty. An investigation was made before
any water was applied A squad OF
rational hosemen then ran into the
building with two lines Of hose, one OF
which was taken 30 the fourth story
They were both attached to plugs and
about fifteen minutes after the water
was turned on there was not spark II

ciously all the time and the damage BY
water was very light.
The damage by fire amounted TO about

A DESPATCH from Kansas Citg makes
the interesting and hopeful announce
ment that J. a. Mckay, the Farmers
Alliance candidate. who was elected
Judge Of the Judicial district composed Of
Barber and Comanche counties, Kansas.
never studied Law, never was admitted
to the bar, never was IN the court In any
Official capacity. His alliance will send
him to Ann Arbor to study law for sixty
days and prepare himself for the bench.
That viii present another difficulty in the
fact that q lawyer cannot be member
Of the alliance. II he becomes lawyer he
must be dismissed, II he does not be-
come lawyer he will likely not make g
very satisfactory judge. even to the
farmers themselves But this compli-
cetiOul shows the danger Of crank legis-

elected in 1888 the same fellows said the
tariff question was settled. The tin plate
cry had been part Of the Republican
campaign, 1t has been the cry Of the
Mckinley people in Congress; Pres
ident Harrison can veto any
bill TO disturb the new duty on
on tin; the Senate has been fixed by the
Republicans to last ten years, and yet.
with all of the favorable conditions ex-
tending over six years the tin plate fas
tories are not to be started. Why? We
had free tin; We had three fourths Of the
home market, we had the advantages of
freight we had a high protective tariff
on the steel plates on which the tin Is
laid, we had the machinery, the
capital and the men who were
anxious to invest in and run the
the mills. Why were they not started ?
The only reason that can he urged Is
that the simple labor Of dipping the steel
plates into the molten tin was not protect
ed. Tin ore was free, the steel plates were
protected, there was a duty OF one cent a
pound on tin, and nothing by any possibil
ity unfavorable to the manufacture OF
tin here, except that the projection was
said co be 100 per cent. too
low. Bat In any event tie tin
factories had four years OF protection at
over two cents a pound assured and a
market consuming 100000 worth Of tin
per day. Why did they not startG They
said chey we're ready. They were lying.
They never Intended to start. They ex-
pecttd to realize more money on galvan-
lied iron. The amount Of money they
asked the consumers per year, $40, 600, 600,
would have bought out the whole tin
business in Wales.
