The Resignation Of Prince Bismarck 40
cepted by the Emperor OF Germany-GOs-
sip AZ to the Cause Of tho Trouble.

Tho Resignation Of Prince Bismarck 40
cepted BY the Emperor OF Gcrmany-Gos-
sip as to the Cause Of the Trouble.
BERLIN, March 19.-It is officially an
nounced that Prince Bismarck's resigna-
ton of the Chancellorship has been &C
cepted. Announcement of the accept
ance, was withheld by the Emperor
because the Constitution did not
admit of an interregnum in the
tenure Of the Chancellorship, and as the
choice of successor to Prince Bismarck
was beset with difficulties, his Majesty
deferred his acceptance until he could
finally decide whom he should appoint
as Chancellor.
All the members Of the Prussian Min
istry resigned at the same time Prince
Bismarck rendered his resignation.
THE Reichsanzeiger makes no allusion
whatever to the resignation of Prince
Bismarck, while the North German Ga
zette prince Bismarck's organ) pub
lished the reports concerning the resig-
nation of the Chancellor, but made no
editorial comment on the subject.
The National Gazette says: 1.-THE
gratitude toward the restorers Of Ger
many that is filling the hearts of Ger
mans at this critical time proves that
Prince Bismarck will long be regarded
as the personification of Germanys
growth and prosperity"
The National Gazette believes that
Count Herbert Bismarck will remain in
Office. 1t says that the Prussian Minis
try has not resigned.
The Tageblatt attributes the resigna-
ton of Prince Bismarck entirely to his
disagreement with the Emperor's policy
of social legislation. The boerse was
only slightly affected.
Prince Bismarck declined an invita-
ton to the court banquet given in honor
of the delegates to the labor conference
in the picture gallery of the Schloss.
The censorship which was established
over kilograms was continued until two
o'clock yesterday afternoon, after which
time all dispatches were allowed to pass
as formerly. The resignation of the
Prussian Ministry was merely formal
act, customary upon the resignation OF
the Prime Minister, but it is reported
that the resignation of Count Bismarck
and Herr Won Maybech were seriously
rendered and may be accepted.
Herren Richter Goldschmit and other
Freissinnige deputies were invited to
the court banquet given on the part of
the Emperor, which is unprecedented.
1t is stated that Prof Hanel and Herr
Quenil (Freissinniges) will enter the
Cabinet as an earnest desire of the EN-
peror's to legislate for the people.
1t is reported Prince Bismarck became
incensed at the action of Herr Hinzpeter
in composing the labor rescripts without
consulting him. 1t is also asserted that
the Chancellor recently had dispute
with Herr Won Boetticher, whom the
Emperor favored, and also differences
with the Emperor on colonial matters.

FARM NOTES.

One-third cornmeal and two-thirds;
wheat with skim milk makes a coed
ration for poultry. M
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 more profitable crop in
those sections than corn and wheat
Crop-expert Prime says: ''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 a time as possible
should be secured, and while this can be
done by repeated planting, a 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 filed
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 may
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 ap-
plies to the best variety, which is now
stringless. The early bunch beans
are beautiful yellow, and not only de-
sirable cooked as vegetable, but also
make pretty and appetizing salad.
Did any of our farmer readers eve
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 a load Of corn? 1t 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

of the root crops, such as beets, satisfy,

UNTERRiFIED KNOBBERS.
Forgetful of the Past They Break Out
Again.

Again.
OZARK, Mo-, March 24-According to
very reliable information just received
from Douglas County the Bald Knobbers
are reviving their late methods of ter
rorism in that locality.
March 4, John Dalton and John K.
Plumb, two prominent citizens of Walls
township, Douglas County, were visited
by an armed band of men claiming to be
Bald Knobbers and ordered to leave the
county March IS. The Knobbers served
on each a written notice to leave by the
time specified, threatening the direst
vengeance in the event the order should
not be obeyed. 1t was dark when the
Knobbers made their call and Dalton
and Plumb could not recognize any Of
the band.
On the night of March Samuel
Plumb, who lives in the same height or-
hood, received similar visit from the
Bald Knobbers and was warned to leave
the county. AS the raiders were leaving
they fired volley from their Winches,
ter rifles and revolvers. In the morning
a number Of bullet holes were found in
the logs of the building. Had the house
been an ordinary frame building the
bullets would have made pepper box
of the front wall.
The next outrage committed by the
Knobbers was the burning of the house
belonging to William Murray, near
Ripple Ball. Murray had recently
bought the place, but had only moved
one load of goods into it. House and
goods were burned.
Dalton and the two Plumbs are still
at home, and say they mean to stay and
take the conseq uences of disobeying the
orders of the Knobbers. They are
all men of good nerve, and
will be ready to give the Knob
bers a warm reception should the
latter return to execute the threat
ened vengeance. The whole affair is
creating quite a sensation in Douglas
County, and more trouble is appre-
hended. The Bald Knobbers were very
strong in Douglas County when the
reign of terror reached its climax, near
Chadwick, in the Edens-Green massacre,
but the organization every body sup
posed had been disbanded long ago.

Ten Sections Burned Over Near Wlchitl

Ten Sections Burned Over Near Wlchfea,
Kan.
WICHITA. Kan, March pa prairie
fire started Saturday night in the neigh
borhood of the Rollins farm, twelve
miles northeast Of this city, and rapidly
spread before the high wind that was
blowing from the southeast. Yesterday
morning the fire was beyond control and
was burning every thing in its path de-
spite the combined efforts Of all the
farmers that could be mustered to fight
tho flames.
The grass was about ten inches long
and as dry as finder and burned so rap
idly that the fight was confined to saw
ing farm buildings and not attempting
to stay the spread Of the flames.
The house of William Ford, situated
about three miles from where the fire
started, was the first to be burned, and
it, with all the farm buildings, was to-
tally destroyed. From there the fire
travelled westward, spreading to the
north and south, and covering, at six
o'clock last evening, territory OF ten
sections, in which every vestige Of grass
Was ucSbTOycus duu lOuK Aoi !" houScS
and the barns, stacks of hay and straw,
and cribs of corn were burned.
No lives have been lost and so far as
has been learned no livestock was
burned. The country covered by the
fire is thickly settled, and the houses in
the line were only saved by strenuous
exertions of the farmers who plowed
burrows and threw up the dirt around
the buildings to stop the progress Of the
fire.
At six clock last evening it was esti-
mated that not less than $1,000 loss
had been suffered and the fire was rag.

driven by a wind which was approach

fine farms to the west of the line of the
fire and much uneasiness is felt over the
casualty. Water is very scarce, and, un-
less rain comes soon, the fire will make
a clean sweep to the Colorado line. All
the livestock in the threatened section
has been removed from the path Of the
fire and back fires are being started all
along the line in the hope of staying the
flames
