Notes,

The best fruits and the best vegeta-
bles are the most profitable, the same as
the best stock and the best grain give
the best returns to the grower, and it is
only by having products of good quail
ity that the best profits are possible at
the present time.
If the hot bed or the plants in the
window are kept warm, there is always
more or less danger of insect pests get

damage.
In places where they will not be
molested by stock, grapevines can be

II the cows have been fed literally on

A good assortment Of ornamental
trees, shrubs and flowers add not only
beauty but value to the farmers home.

repair.
Trees planted for d-break should

A handful of wood ashes applied
around each blackberry cane, will be
found very beneficial as fertilizer.

YOUNG LINCOLN DEAD.
me Unfortunate Youth Saccumbs 70 III

The Unfortunate Youth Succumbs 70 HI
LONDON, March 6.-Master Abraham
Lincoln, son Of Mr.. Robert Lincoln, the
United States Minister, who has been
suffering for long time from blood
poisoning, arising from a malignant
carbuncle on the left side below the
armpit, died at seven minutes after
eleven o'clock yesterday morning.
During the morning the lad was in q
comatose condition. He refused to re.
tain nourishment, and the doctor stated
definitely that his death was only a
question Of a few hours. He suffered no
pain. Mr.. Lincoln and his family were
at the bedside Of the dying boy from
early in the morning until he died. He
passed away quietly.
The following account Of the lads i'll.
ness is authoritative:
He went to Versailles to study French,
and had been there about two months
when he began to feel vaguely indis-
posed. This feeling lasted for about a
week, when, on November 6, a large
carbuncle developed in few hours on
the left side under the arm, both left
arm and hand at the same time becom.
ing greatly swollen. His parents were
sent for, and on their arrival from Lon
don, twenty-four hours later, they found
his condition as above stated, except
that the arm swelling was somewhat di-
minished. Next morning the local ply
sicians made an incision in the carbun-
Gle, and it was thereafter treated with
great care with poul tees and antiseptics
until November IS, when an alarming
indammatory and febrile condition set
in.
An operation was performed by dis
tnguished Paris physicians, and there
after the wound so made was carefully
treated. The patient continued to take
and digest nourishment perfectly we'll,
but notwithstanding this he began to
lose flesh, and the wound, instead of
healing at all, became unhealthy.
Finally, it was deemed expedient to
remove the sufferer to London whore he
might receive attention from the famous
surgeons Of that city, and this was
accordingly done on January II.
The patient was at once placed
in charge of DR.. Maclagan of Cad
ogan Place, London, assisted by DIR.
Jones and DR.. Thomas Smith, surgeon.
The lads trouble was not limited to the
outside of the chest wounds, but ex-
tended inward, interfering materially
with the movements of the ribs on that
side and causing also an effusion within
the chest, which effusion increased to
such an extent that on February 20 the
patient was in imminent danger of being
suffocated. BY this time the emaciation
had greatly increased. Desperate OPP
erations were resorted to by the sur
geons, but without success.

CONGRESSIONAL FORECAST.


Il
What the Senate and House Have In Hand
and What h Expected.
WASHINGTON, March 10.-The uncer-
tainty surrounding the disposition Of
the questions raised by the recent re-
consideration Of executive session mat
ters makes it impossible to forecast with
any degree of accuracy the work Of the
Senate for this week.
Senator Dolph's committee will to-day
resume the Interrogation under oath of
members Of the Senate respecting their
connection with 'leaks" in the past, and
the report Of the discoveries may pre-
cipitate another discussion similar to
that of last week. So much of the time
of the Senate was taken up with the dis
cussion that the Blair Educational bill
was not disposed Of, and it still heads
the calendar as unfinished business A
very general feeling exists in favor Of
closing this debate this week and to take
q vote on the bill if possible. Mr.. Evarts
will close the debate in support Of the
| measure.
The report of the Committee on Priv
ileges and Elections on the Montana
case is likely to be made this week, but
the debate that must ensue will not
begin until the Blair bill is out of the
way. CagEH li-tot7 uFf
The Urgent Deficiency Appropriation
bill will be reported from the Committee
I on Appropriations this week.
Senator Stanford will offer resolu-
ton to-day instructlng the Finance Com
mittee to investigate and report upon
the expediency and desirability Of the
Government loaning money upon real
| estate mortgages at nominal rate Of
interest, one or two per cent per annum,
retaining the right to call in q certain
proportion of the loans when occasion
demands. - ~ ..s.
In the morning hours the Oklahoma
Townsite bill may be considered and
further progress made in the execution
of the order to dispose of public build
ing and bridge bills on the calendar.
The work of the House this week will
probably be devoted principally to add
ing new stars to. the National flag. The
District of Columbia Committee will oc-
cupy to-day in the disposition Of meas
ures relating to local affairs, and after
that the Oklahoma bill will be taken
up and passed upon finally, as far
as the House is concerned. Then,
according to notice already given.
the Territories Committee will present
for the consideration Of the House the
bill to admit Wyoming as State of the
Union, and this will be followed by the
Idaho bill if any time remains.
The Committee on Elections desires
to call up the contested election case of
Mudd VS.. Compton, from Maryland, but
will only do so, according to present
management, if it can be done without
Interfering with the Statehood bills al
ready mentioned.

HOPEFUL FARMERS.


Kansas Agriculture Has Coed Prospects
For the Year q 1880.
| TOPEKA, Kan, March 5.-The Kansas
Farmer prints . carefully prepared re-
port-the first the season-from nearly
every county in Kansas, made up BY it,
special correspondents on the last day
Of February, as to the condition and
acreage Of growing wheat, the oondit ton
of livestock, as well as the local market
prices Of wheat, corn, oats, cattle and
hogs.
These reports show an increased acre
age in every county, ranging from to
80 per cent, except in the counties Of
Brown, Doniphan, Woodson, Meade and
Nemaha, and the last two counties re-
port decreased acreage. The most
notable increase, however, is
shown in Western Kansas, where the
increase is from double to five times the
acreage of last year. In the northern
counties of the State there will be an
increased acreage Of spring wheat.
Some fears were expressed that the
recent cold snap may have injured the
wheat somewhat, but the only wheat
winter-killed up to March was in spots
on bottom land. The Hessian fly did
some damage in Wabaunsee County.
Present indications are that Kansas will
produce from the increased acreage the
largest wheat crop ever known in the
history Of the State, as the fall and
winter had been unusually favorable
until the recent cold spell, which was
general over the State.
Livestock Of all kinds is generally in
splendid condition and free from dis
ease of any kind excepting few cases
of hog cholera, which has abated.
Farm horses are generally in better
condition at this season. Feed is cheap
and abundant wherever stock is being
full fed for market.
The local prices for corn, wheat and
oats are hardly equal to the cost
OF production, consequently more
full feeding Of stock is be-
ing done than ever before in
order to secure better prices for corn.
The local prices Of livestock are low
and cattle are lower than ever known,
and the supply Of cattle will be reduced
as consequence of the continued de.
preston in beef cattle prices
There has been an increased fall of
snow and rain in Western Kansas dur
ing the past fall and winter and the
farmers feel hopeful as to good crops

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 5.-William
II. Pope, teller of the Louisville Nation
al Bank, trusted man of good habits,
who was received in the best social cir
cles of this city. is gone. His absence
at the bank yesterday morning at first
excited no suspicion, as it was supposed
he was at his sick sisters bedside or in
the country detained by the flood.
When no word was received at 1890
o'clock President James S. Pirtle, Vice.
President j. d. Leech and Cashier W. S.
Parker became somewhat suspicious.
They opened the vault and hasty ex-
animation showed that about $50, 600
was missing. The missing money was
all in large bills. All the bulky gold
and silver coin and small bills were left
intact. 1t will require careful exam
ination to state the entire amount that
Pope took with him.
Pope is native of this State and is
thirty-eight years old. His father, Wall
lace Pope, resides eight miles out on
the narrow gauge railroad. He entered
the bank in 1881 as clerk and was rap
idly promoted. He was thought to be
''close." He had been leading a DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde life for some years,
as many of his boon companions are
aware. At his room he was unusually
quiet.
The only articles missing from his
room were Bible and a prayer book,
which he must have taken with him. At
a room on Jefferson street he frequently
gave wine suppers to young men of his
class and fast young women. He
gambled and was known as sucker"
He frequently was drunk at night, but
he was always at his desk promptly in
the morning.
