The Company Said to Have Re-

Preparations Being Made for the Fourth at

"A Fight in Prospect.

L1vMasroN, May 22.-[Special. COM
mittee representing the Cokedale miners
has drawn up statement of the miners
cause and forwarded it to the executive
board Of the Knights of Labor. The min
ers expect to receive reply from the board
next Tuesday and will abide by the decision
several propositions to the company but all
of them have been rejected. First, they
proposed TO allow the company to select
an arbitration committee of three from the
business men of I4ivington and pledged
themselves to abide by the decision of the
committee. This proposition was rejected
by the company. The next proposition
which they made, and which was likewise
rejected, was to work at $1.10 for q long
ton, and the last effort the men made to
compromise the matter was last Monday,
when they made the proposition that the
company select from three to five men and
the miners would select like number.
The company was then to place the men
selected by the miners. and they would
place the oompany's men, in the
mines. The other men were to be
excluded from the mines and the
men selected were to work three
days. At the end of that time their work
was to be averaged, and if it was found that
they could make wages at the new rates
proposed by the miners the men would 90
to work. If not, the company would pay
the men who made the test 1925 per day
for their services. This was not accepted
by the company.
Sheriff Templeton probably understands
the situation more thoroughly than any
man in Livingston. He says that not one
of the miners goes armed, and that the only
armed men in the camp are the deputies
from Helena. The sheriff has the conf
dence, respect and esteem of the miners,
and should there be an outbreak at the
camp he could quell it in less time than a
dozen armed deputies.
Charles Acklewyer, who was arrested
in Cokedale, has been released, the county
attorney having nolle prosecuted the case
against him.

Yellowstone Park Bill-After the Vacant
United States Marshalship.
WARRINGTON, May 22.-[Special. The
Yellowstone Park bill, which not only en-
larges the park, but grants the riRht-of-
way through one corner of it to the Mon
tana Mineral railway, is said by the men
having it in charge to be sure of passage
through the house. There may be some
opposition in the senate.
The Montana republicans are having
great scramble over the Office of United
States marshal. The delegation are re-
ceiving petitions and papers of candidates
by every mail, and some are enforcing
their demands by telegraph. The candi-
dates are Frank Doud, of Great Falls, A.
@. Botkin, of Helena. and Judge Dingevon,
of Butte. The latter city also has several
other candidates who may secure the plum,
but at present it is liable to 90 to one of the
above mentioned. The man will probably
be the choice of Sanders and Carter. Post
masters appointed: H. White, Fort Custer.
The bill granting to the state of Montana
the Fort Ellis military reservation will be
amended SO as to give the state the build
inRs and grounds sufficient for camp
ground for the militia. The building is
wanted for barracks.
One city in Montana will be given a pub
lie building and the prospects are that
Helena will draw the prize. The Butte bill
is so far down on the list that it will be I'M
possible to reach it, even if two days are
granted for the consideration of the public
building bill.

Two F1nlAnderS At Misaou1o Have .
Bloody Alteration.
MHsouLA, Mont, May 22-[Special.1 J.
About o'clock this morning two Fin
landers, August Aldo and Henry Mylly, got
into an alteration at the California hotel
saloon. They were both drinking. Mylly
asked Aldo to treat, and upon his refusal to
do 90 began to abuse him. Mylly struck
Aldo several bows in the face, whereupon
Aldo felled his opponent to the ground.
The barkeeper then separated the men, but
Mylly was determined to fight and asked
Aldo outside, which he declined. Mylly
then left the house, but soon afterwards re-
turned. Aldo was standing at the bar
drinking when Mylly entered. without a
word of warning he drew large pocket
knife and struck Aldo terrible blow, and
then turned and made his escape through
the rear door. There were six or seven
men in the room at the time. The bar
keeper gave chase. but the fugitive was
soon lost to sight in the darkness.
The wounded mans injuries are Of seri-
GUS nature. The cut extends from the mid
die of the base of the neck to under the ribs
on the left side, and thirteen inches in
length, laying bare the ribs and exposing
part Of the lung. Aldo is lying in critical
condition. The doctors attending him be-
lieve that his injuries will not prove fatal.
Deputy Sheriff Houston started out after
Mylly this morning and arrested him near
Bonner this afternoon. He was brought in
on to-nieht's train.
The hearing in the case Of Engineer Mar
tin has been postponed until Monday.
Judge Evans this afternoon rendered his
decision in the case of the state against Joe
Davis. the pawnbroker, who was arrested
for not keeping proper record of tho ar
ticles bought by him or on which he ad-
vanced loans. Davis was fined $25 and
costs. 1t is said that he has been running
a hard joint here. The city council at its
next session will in all likelihood revoke his
license.

McGintOck Missing.

BUTTE, May 22.-[Special.l THE friends
of Alex. McGintock arc becoming alarmed
at his continued absence and fear that he
has met with foul play. Mr.. McGintock
came to this city from Pony last Tuesday,
having recently sold a mine in that camp.
The last seen of him was Tuesday night,
when he was going about the city with
number of friends. As he did not show up
the next day, nor again this morning, his
brother asoame alarmed and notified the
police, and he also sent a dispatch to Pony
to learn if by any chance the missing man
could have gone back without leaving word.
At O'Clock this afternoon no word had
returned and his whereabouts are still
mystery. The police are doing all in their
power, but SO far have been able to find no
clue to his movements after Tuesday night.

Geo. Dempsey, an Old and Inoffen-
sive Miner, Found Dead in
His Cabin.
The Indications Are That He Was
Brutally Beaten to
Death.
Conflicting Stories Told Regarding His
Death-Alex McGintock Disappears
From Butte Tuesday.

BUTTE, May 22.-[Special. The dead
body Of Cleo. Dempsey was found in his hut
nea Fealy's station sometime yesterday in
terribly disfgured condition and with al
most every attending circumstance pointing
to his having been foully murdered. Word
was not brought to this city till last night
and then the messenger said there was q
man out there who was very sick and would
probably die. This report was made to the
county physician and he ordered Under
taker Sherman to 90 after the man at onoe
and bring him in, dend or alive. This was
done, but the undertaken was not able to
reach the old mans cabin till nearly mid
night. When he went in he found the old
man stretched face downward upon straw
mattress in the middle of the floor, having
been dead evidently for hours, il not days,
and having no light but poor candle and
the surroundings being very poor. He de-
termined to wait until his return to investi-
gate.
Arriving here this morning he found to
his surprise that the body bore every ap-
pearance of the unfortunate mans havings
been beaten to death. The face and head
were one mass Of what appeared to be
bruises and the knees we're broken and swol-
len in frightful manner. 1t was also evil
dent that he had been dead much longer
than had been claimed by the man who
had brought in the report and by the neigh
bors, as his eyes were gone and the body
gave other evidence of disintegration. It
was owing to this fact that the county ply
sician refused to say, after his first exam
nation, what the cause of death was, though
he said it looked very much like foul play.
The coroner was notified and after examin-
ing the body started the sheriff after the
necessary witnesses and the inquest will be
held as soon as they can be procured.
Dempsey was an old and inoffensive
miner, working placer claim near the
cabin in which the body was found. So far
as could be learned to-day he had neither
enemies nor money sufficient to
tempt a man to the commission
of such crime as his murder.
The passenger who brought in the word Of
his illness, stated that he was dying of cry
sipelas, and it is barely possible that the
marks upon his face have been made by
that disease. The suspicion of the coroner
has been aroused, both by the appearance
of the body and the conflicting stories thas
have been told regarding his death, and he
will sift the case to the bottom.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.


Cultivate Less Land and Cultivate Il
Better.
The one thing to be done now to make
the cotton States the richest people in
the world is to bring their lands to tho
highest possible state of cultivation; to
cultivate less land in cotton and culti-
vate 1t better; put the balance in grain,
grass, fruits and other food and stock
crops Be sure to make what is wanted
to make home comfortable and happy
and the hocks fat and frisky. Then
the cotton, two bales raised where .
half one is grown now. will pay the
taxes, buy the clothes and other neces-
sary articles with some money left to
invest in better stock, better barns and
better dwellings. No other country on
earth can produce cotton like the South.
The whole face of the earth has been
tried by the English and other gov
erhments without obtaining satisfac-
tory results. The ten Southern States
hold q monopoly upon the great
est OF all fiber plants, and yet they al
low the spinners and spectators of Liv-
erpool to dictate the price Of every crop
before the seed is planted. The whole
fault lies with the cotton producer. He
keeps himself poor trying to raise cot
ton At English prices, to buy food for
himself and beast and he is bound to
sell 1t the price fixed, whilst If he raised
his own food and provender, his own
cattle and hogs and horses, he could flx
his own price or hold until the price
suited him. American cotton is SUI
preme, and It Is in. the power Of the
southern people to make it the great
American gold mine. In the National
Farmers' Alliance and Industrial Union
there is great hope for the accomplish
ment Of such result. Education, or
gsnization and cooperation are its OBJ
jects, and through it the South can
breathe the hope Of . glorious future,
il the purposes are steadfastly pursued.

surface soil else the wheat would have
gotten 1t. While did not know where
this nitrogen came from. knew it did
not come from the subsoil through the
tap roots, or from the atmosphere
through the pores in the leaves.
For the last four years have had the
gall" and the ''impudence' to beard
the lion (science) in his den (the agri-
cultural press), and every attempt to
smoke me out only drove the scientific
man to the woods to return no more.
have never doubted science, but I
doubt the knowledge of natural law by
scientists. For want of this proper
knowledge scientists have not known
which end Of the plant took in the food.
For two years past have studied nat
ural science with this end in view.
Here it is in ''nut she'll" More than
nine-tenths Of all the plant food comes
from the air. 1t is condensed during
the winter and driven down into
the soil by rains. Soil protected
by mulching is kept from pack
ing by the winter rains and therefore
forms the best receptacle. This loose
surface will not admit the pores coming
clear to the surface. When the sun
warns up the soil sufficient for evapora-
ton the air is filtered through this loose
soil the same as water through filter,
aud only the pure air escapes. If the
surface, however, is firm enough for the
pores to come through, all these gases
pass back into the atmosphere from
whence they came.
We have learned to handle these
gases with much more ease than Mr..
Edison has electricity. Our mistake in
the past was in trying to ,rowd these
two gases in the plant at the wrong end.
If we wish to grow spring crops we
should only loosen up few inches Of
the surface, so as to retain these gases
near the surface, and by no means sub
soil. II the soil is loose deep the gases
will be carried too deep, for when the
plant needs them. they will be sub
merged.
II we wish to grow summer crops,
such as cotton, sweet potatoes, tobacco,
ETC., the deeper the soil and subsoil
can be opened up during the fall or
early winter the better for it II only
the surface is stirred the gases will be
used up in making excessive STALKS or
vines before fruiting time; but the sur
face must be kept loose SO the tubes or
pores can not come clear to the surface.
