Rare Birds CaDtured,

Thousands of migrating birds were
passing over Cedar Rapids, Ia., when
they encountered terrible rain and
thunder storm, and, attracted by the
electric lights, gathered about them on
the streets and attempted to fly into the
stores. AS consequence, over 1000
birds fell dead in the streets from coming
in contact with the wires and glass
fronts. A great majority of the birds do
not inhabit the region, and some very
rare specimens were captured alive and
Gagged. Among them was a red poll
warbler, one of the rarest birds in the
United States. This bird nests in Mani
toba and Alaska in the summer, and in
the winter goes as far south as the Car
ibbean sea. Over fifty different species
were found.

Cutting Mixed Grass.

Common red clover ripens before timo-
thy, and where they grow together yoa
must comprise the time or take an aver
age. The clover should be cut just as
most Of the heads are beginning to pass
out of blossom, which will be about the
time that the seeds in the heads of timo-
thy are mostly forming but not ripening
1t is, however, better t, little too
early with the timothy zoo late with
clover. AS some days mast elapse be-
tween the first and the last cutting, some
judgmentmust be exercised to reach fair
average OF time. Country Gentleman.

Future of Raat Supnr.

The beet sugar industry is looming up
in our country. In our large territory
and great diversity of soil and climate
there are, no doubt, large areas just suit
ed to their successful culture, and as
these favored sections are brought out
by experiment the production of our full
supply of sugar at home, as in France
and Germany, will be only question Of
time. The number of acres of beets
grown for sugar, the product and value
will be included in the returns Of the
new census. Indiana Farmer.

BLAIR's BILL IN CONTEMPT.
The Senate Weary of 1t, but Its Au
thor Irrepressible.

WASHINGTON, March 12-The Senate
showed its contempt for the Blair bill more
plainly than ever to-day. Senator after
senator on the republican side to-day told
Mr. Blair that the Senate was weary of it
and wanted to hear no more of it, but to
vote upon it, and so get it out of the way of
more important matter. Mr.. Blair, still
protesting that it was more important than
any other BILL finally agreed to let the
Senate off with vote a week from to-mor-
row. Five speeches, not counting another
by himself, are to be made meanwhile.
The discussion made the Senate and the
galleries laugh. Senatorial dignity seems
to have permanently disappeared. There
is little reason to doubt that unless there is
a great change in what Mr.. Blair calls 1.-The
headwaters of the senatorial system" the
bill will be defeated. Apart from the OBJ
vious objections to it, it has been actually
talked to death by its author.
The feature of the day in the House was
the sharp prohibition versus high license
debate on the Oklahoma bill, which ended
in compromise which will maintain the
present exclusion of liquors from that
country until the first territorial legislature
meets. The growing strength Of tue prohi-
bition idea on the republican side of the
House was very striking. Most of the pro-
hibition orators were republicans.

surances given by the state bureau of i'm
migration that while no contract will be

after their arrival. The bureau submitted
an inquiry as to whether sit will be viola
tion of the law to land parties who pay
their own passage. with such a
statement made in advance" Sec
rotary Window says in reply:
''While the department does not undertake
to determine questions of law or fact upon

this case there is no hesitation in expressing
the opinion that the proviso in section 5 of

from its operation persons employed
strictly as personal or domestic servants
was intended to apply only to servants
who should come into this country
with their employers. Without attempting
to pass upon the action of the bureau

attention to the language of the first section
of the act referred to. Partial. or special,

TAULBEES FATAL WOUND
INSTANT DEATH ESCAPED BY THE
SIXTEENTH OF AN INCH.

a Portion of the Orbital Plate and
the Petrous Portion of the Tenn
poral Bone Fra ctured by the Ball.
An Abscess at the Base of the Brain
the Cause of Death.
WASHINGTON, March 12.-The autopsy
on the remains of ex-Congressman Taulbee
was held to-day. The ball was found to
Inward, fracturing portion of the orbital
plate. Thence it went toward the brain
fracturing and splintering the petrous
portion of the temporal bone The ball was
found imbedded in bone and dura mater.
INSTANT DEATH NARROWLY ESCAPED.
Further penetration of the sixteenth OF
an inch would have probably resulted in
instant death. At the base of the brain a
large abscsss was formed. and that was the
immediate cause of death. Other Assesses
were discovered, and the brain and mem
branes were much infamed and congested.
The position of the ball was such that it
could not have been extracted with safety
to the patient, even had its exact location
been known.
THE INQUEST'S PRINCIPAL WITNESS.
The inquest into the shooting was held
this afternoon shortly after the autopsy had
been completed. The principal witness was
Samuel Donelson of Tennessee, ex-door-
keeper of the House. He was walking arm in
arm with Mr.. Taulbee when suddenly Judge
Kincaid appeared on the landing of the
stairway close behind. Mr.. Taulbee's face
was turned partly toward Judge Kincaid
when the latter exclaimed: "Mr. Taulbee,
you can see me now.n The
deceased turned still further toward
Judge Kincaid, when the latter
fired one shot. The rest of the story has
been many times told. Other witness es
added nothing to what has been printed.
The verdict of jury was that Mr.. Taulbee
came to his death from a pistol wound,
the pistol being held in the hand of Charles
E. Kincaid, il the United States capitol
building Feb. 28, 1890"
At the conclusion of the inquest Judge
Kincaid was committed to Jail to await the
action of the grand jury.
The funeral of Mr.. Taulbee will take
place tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock from
Zurhorst's undertaking rooms. The Ken
lucky delegation will act as pail bearers.
