A MlscREANr.s WORK.
The Burning Of Trostle and Wreck OF 9
Santa Fe Train Charged 20 IncondlArlsm.

| The Burning Of Trestle and Wreck OF
Santa Fe Train Charged 20 IncendAArlsm.
WICHITA, Kan, Feb. 18.-The SAINTS
Fe train which left Wichita at seven
O'Clock yesterday morning was in charge
Of Conductor John Landon with Road
master Peters riding in the engine cab.
At S:04 o'clock, just after leaving Green
station, Peters saw smoke arising from
the track some distance ahead, but NJ
piles Of burning ties had been noticed
at several points along the road no ut
tention was paid.
Just before reaching the trestle five
miles south Of here, which is 100 feet
long, Peters cried out: my God, the
trestle is burning" and he and Engineer
Ward and Fireman Jacob Benfer leaped
from the engine.
Peters was on the wrong side, and the
forward car caught him. After q half
hours work his mangled remains were
chopped from under the debris. His abb
domen was crushed and his bowels pro-
truded, presenting horrible sight. He
died almost Immediately upon being
taken out
Wand alighted on his head and
sprained and wrenched his neck badly.
Benfer had his left leg broken. Elk
press Messenger w. ]. Clark was injured
in the right shoulder.
The passengers were more or less
bruised, but none seriously hurt.
Various explanations are given as to
the origin of the fire which burned the
trestle, but it is the prevailing belief
among the railroad men that it was the
work of an incendiary done in revenge
or in the hope of securing booty in the
confusion and excitement.
William L. Carlton, farmer living
near the scene of the wreck, discovered
q lamp on the trestle just before he saw
fire, which he supposed to be burning
prairie grass, and Sunday afternoon a
suspicious looking tramp had inquired
particularly as to the time of the pas
sage of the Santa Fe trains. The Off
GERS have a description Of the fellow
and are looking for him.
The loss to the Santa Fe will be quite
heavy, as four cars were smashed up and
the engine is mass of broken iron.

Phenomenal Rains and Floods In Queens
land, Australia.
SAN Francisco, Feb. 1s.-Reports
from Northern Queensland, received by
the Sydney steamer, show that floods
have devastated that colony, before
which the recent California floods are
dwarfed. Between December % and
January . 40 inches, or over four solid
feet, OF rain fell at Cardwell, and at
other places the rainfall was nearly
as heavy. At Normanton the
railway was nine feet under water. At
Croydon mails were carried in boats, and
relief parties were sent out to rescue
settlers who had taken refuge in trees.
The worst fatality was reported at Glas-
tonbury Creek Ordinarily this is q
shallow stream, but in consequence Of
the heavy rain it came down in solid
wall of water twenty feet high. Three
houses were washed away and acres un-
der cultivation along the banks were
flooded, resulting in great damage. A
prospector, named Coomber, with his
wife and three children, were living in
house on the river bank. The house
was washed away and. the wife and three
children were drowned. Coomber
saved himself by clinging to q tree
through the night, where he was found
bruised, dazed and exhausted on the
following morning. On Eel river over
twenty people lost their lives in one
small district and it is expected many
more fatalities will be reported.

The Jersey Cow.

Iwish, says writer in the Breeders
Gazette, to say q word about the Jersey
cow as a butter COW. They are not what
most farmers want on account Of their
size. / believe they are the greatest OF
butter cows from the amount OF milk
they give, and have so proved them
SELVES in public tests. In 1887 at the
Iowa State fair Jersey COW owned by
Charles Holmes in public test with
several other COWS gave in one day 20
pounds Of milk upon which she won first
premium over all breeds, and several
Holstein- Friesian cows gave on the same
day 6S to 20 pounds of milk. The fam
Gus COW Mink was beaten in public
test ON the Iowa State fair grounds by a
Jersey cow. Ii We would deal fairly and
give every breed its due the Jersey COW
Is not to be scoffed at. One thing is true
al Jersey COW and that is there is no
need of a spy-glass to discover the cream
on her milk, which can not be said Of
some other breeds. The Jersey does not
need to be fed milk to produce butter
fats
have read of herdsmen being seen
GDeding cows milk to produce butter
Enk but I am Of the opinion that they
1abored under a mistaken idea; my OBJ
1erVation is that milk produces more
milk, but of much poorer quality. And
Il believe those public and private tests
are not Of any value whatever to the
general public, and have tendency to
make rogues Of once honest men.

ABOUT LAWNS.


/ How to Mako Thorn and How 20 Take
Care OF Thorn.
In the formation Of q new lawn II
would be difficult says Popular Garden
ing, to say which was the more favor
able time, spring or fall. as much de-
ponds upon the character Of the season.
II fall Is selected. the earlier the sowing
can be done after the usual summer
droughts are past the better-say the
very last Of August or early September.
The first work is to get the ground
graded according to the location, or the
fancy Of the owner. The whole should
be plowed we'll and evenly.
II the subsoil is at all hard, let o sub.
soiler follow the surface pillow.
Harrow until the whole surface Is
smooth. Use only the best and clean
est seed that o reliable scotsman can
sell you. A quart will SOW about three
hundred square feet, and from FIVE to
seven bushels will be required for an
acre. II possible never use stable
manure on lawn, as there is always
more or less weed seed in it. The best
possible fertilizer to use in the beginning
is heavy dressing of ground bone say
from one to one and one-half tons per
acre. This will not only start the new
growth we'll, but will last for several
years. Ground tobacco stems is the
best top dressing that can be given, and
used each season in connection with the
bone dust in the beginning will insure
strong, even growth.
The only way to get rid OF the trouble
some weeds is to cut them of below the
surface as fast as they appear.
The renovating Of an old lawn that
has been worn out by neglect or other
cause is generally unsatisfactory work
unless the whole is torn up and treated
as II new. But II this can not be con-
veniently done old lawn may be much
improved by running over with light
harrow or rake, stirring the soil as much
as possible without injuring the roots.
Then about half the quantity Of seed
recommended for new lawns should be
sown and the surface again lightly
stirred and thoroughly rolled.
Moving should be commenced as soon
as the grass has made growth Of two
or three inches in the spring and con-
tinued every week or ten days until
growth stops in the fall. When moved
often there will be no need OF raking of
the cut grass, but If rake is used it
should be with blunt teeth so as not to
injure the roots. 1t is good plan is
any case to roll lawn each spring, an
this firms the soil when the frost has
loosened it and leaves the surface
smooth.

Opening In Series Of Resolves.
ARKANSAS CITY, Kan, Feb. 18.-The
Highland Opera House was crowded
last night with citizens who had as
sembled for the purpose Of memorable
ing Congress upon the necessity Of inn
mediate Legislation providing for the
opening of the Cherokee Strip to white
settlement. Stirring speeches were
made by Prof Murray, Judge James
Christian, Judge McIntire and ]. G.
Davenport, and the following resolu-
tons were adopted:
whereas, The Cherokee Strip was granted
to the Indians mostly as a highway to the
game OF the plains; and
whereas, They have long since abandoned
{ for such purpose, and
Whereas, Judge Brewer, Of the District
Court Of the United States has judiclally de-
cided that said Cherokee Indians have for
felted all right to the use Of said highway,
and
whereas The United States Government
has generously offered q donation OF s1.25 an
acre for said lands, which the Indians re-
fused; therefore,
Resolved, That we favor the immediate
passage Of the Perkins bill, which declares
the Strip open to public domain or home
stead settlement only and providing for Q
commission to determine and settle all
claims, II any, which the Indians have
thereto.
Resolved, That we believe this sentiment
10 shared by citizens as q mass, except few
individuals who are personally Interested In
the cattle business and In land speculation.
Resolved, That We hereby call upon our
representa- YES In Congress, who expect our
further support at the polls, 70 do all In their
power for the opening OF this country to
