OF leading capitalists are said TO be the

being the alleged bcnefciaries pnd
custodians OF immense sums Of money
which are in and about Missouri Val

heiress. Keen detectives have been
working on the case for several
months, and IL was alleged by the Brc-
sees prior TO their sudden disappear

evidence had bccn completed that

A MINNESOTA TRAGEDY
A Dcspondent Mother Shoots Her
Children aud Takes Poison.

A Faribault, Mimi, special of Jan
10th to the Pioneer Press says: One
of the most shocking tragedies that
ever occurred in this county took place
at the residence of James Mcneil, Jr.
near Cannon Lake. Mcneil arose
about five o'clock and went into the
kitchen to build a fire. Mrs. Mcneil
slipped out after him and locked the
door, then went back into the bed
room and took revolver from the
children. Mcneil heard the shots and
tried to 90 to the bedroom but could
not get in. He then started around
the house aud went in the front door
and met his wife coming from the
kitchen, where she had chased the
acid and took some herself. The little
girl evidently struggled very hard
with her mother, as her face and hands
were covered with the acid. One child
died instantly and one died about 10
o'clock in the morning. The little
Oauy tiilOO "OOhS oli, was SuOL
through both lungs, but at last reports
was still alive. The woman and little
girl to whom she gave the acid are
also alive and may live. Mrs. Mcneil
gives as a reason for the terrible deed
that she had been sick and had no hope
OF getting well and wanted to end her
saiferings at once. Mrs. Mcneil is a
daughter OF Edward Hollister, OF Hop
kins Station, Mimi. The attending
physician says unless Inflammation OF
the stomach sets in the woman and
little girl will probably live.

cB-Apply here before ordering elsewhere.

In tho early days of the country
when the roads We're made and the
houses built on the highest hills that
were passablc for teams, people got
the habit of working on the wet, rocky
soil of the hills aud in time came TO be-
lieve that the level, sandy soil was
nearly worthless; and that faith has
in many cases been adhered To too long.
The wet, heavy soil is better for grass
but on hundreds of farms that we
know the stone walls that were built lust
to get rid of the rocks represent more
dollars in labor than the farms with
all their improvements would sell for
now, While sandy soils that are near
ly free from rocks with half this
amount of labor expended on them in
applying muck or clay aud the same
amount of manure the wet farms have
had would produce better and surer
crops of everything but grass. In some
locations sandy soil is more apt TO DO
affected by frosts, but there are varie-
ties of crops adapted TO nearly all To-
cations, The idea that manure teaches
through such soil Is supported by and
originated with the fact that the soil
Is loose and porous and the roots of
the first crop can go all through IL aud
get all they need, and consequently
the effect of manuring does not show
as many years as on soil where tho
roots cannot penetrate SO freely.
II costs much less TO handle farm
on dry land, rs IL can be worked earlier
in the spring aud sooner after rain,
and there is less hurry and lighter
team will do the work, Ono blowing
of such soil will pulverize il rs much
as two will the wet, heavy soil, and il
is the same with other operations, so
that onc-half of the labor may he

onghly pulyerizod should he plowcdiu.
There Is no danger of loss by teaching,
and ms there IL no cold water TO stop
the roots they viii 20 as deep as the
plow does.
On dry soils corn and potatoes should
be planted in burrows little below
the surface so that what killing up is
needed TO steady the stalks and cover
small weeds, will make the surface
level. AT least we have had the best
success with level culture on such soil
When the waves of immigration and
appreciation again turn to New Eng
land the rocky hillside on which two
of three generations of farmers have
spent their time digging rocks, will be
used largely for pasture, and the fine
arts of farming will be practical on
sandy soil.

A STRANGE STORY.

II. Unnecessarily Imprisoned.

A Baltimore paper OF the 18th con-
tains story about Robert Garrett
that has set the town agog. 1t says
that the eX.president OF the Baltimore

straint, and is practically prisoner
in his own house, and then continues.
He has with him three muscular male
nurses accustomed to dealing with de-
mented persons, or with those who for
Interested motives are considered such,
and under the eyes Of one of these Mr..
Garrett passes his days and nights. OF
course it is scarcely probable that Mr..
Garrett is subjected TO the horrors of
lunatic asylums, yet in person rest
ing under the suspicion OF insanity,
the slightest act is construed to assume
n phase of the disease. Recently Mrs.
Garrett asked her husband TO drive into
town from Uplands. This was the re-
sponse: TO be watched like n pick
pocket; to be bounded like thief by
one of your hirelngs." In the posi-
ton he occupies at present, even sup
posing him to be perfectly sane, Mr..
Garrett knows that he Is absolutely
powerless. What motive could there
be TO keep sane man guarded as a
lunatic? .'What motives may there
not be to hold in subsection man with
millions? Who knows and in this case

CLOSE A FAMOUS CASE.
Phelps Perrin's Fate Now Rests
With a Jury.

Special to the Globe
ASHLAND, Wis, March 15.-The court
room was literally packed this after
noon to listen to the closing arguments
to the jury in the now celebrated Hur-
ley bank robbery case. Every available
seat in the court room was taken, while
q large number stood up during all of
the afternoon session. A large number
of ladies were present who seemed to
take lively interest in the proceed
ings. Attorney Lennon, OF Hurley,

All the important points in the evidence
were gone over and laid before the jury.
He was followed by Judge Cate. Tears

this great crime. Perrin himself was
visibly affected at its close. he tried to
converse with his friends in his usual
jovial tone, but his voice was weak, and
a tear tricllled down his cheek when the
Judge pictured to the jury the grief of
his wife and parents if he Should be

him of ungentlemanly, unprofessional
and unprincipled conduct III trying the

plea was masterpiece of logic and

UDiOnist Caldwell Secedes From

LONDON. March 15.-The secession of
James Caldwell, Unionist member of
parliament for the st. RollOx division of
Glasgow, flom the ranks of the govern
ment party is serious blow the
ministry, but his action has caused
little or no surprise. For some time
past he has been wavering, and his final
announcement that lie is "unable to
swallow the government whole" is no
more than many of his political asSO-
ciateS have expected. Mr.. Caldwell
states that ii is not his intention to join
the GladStOnianS, but merely to place
himself In position to act independents
upon any of the vital questions pending.
In spite of the fact that the South Pad
dington Tories have repudiated Lord
Randolph Churchill in consequence of
his attack upon the government and
the repeated demands made by unau-
thorZed persons and newspapers for
his resignation. it is certain that even
the most indignant among the members
of the ministry will hesitate to advO-
cate bis taking that step at present.
On the contrary the conservatives are
seeking to avoid an issue in that or any
other constituency fearing the result of
an election soon aft the report of the
Parnell commission. and the action of
the government thereon. The policy of
the government is to permit some inn
pOrtant legislation to Intervene between
the acceptance of the report, which ac,
ti0n is virtually an Endorsement of the
course taken by the Times and an ap-
peal to the people.

Miners Quit Work IN the Face of
Falling Market.


LONDON, March 15.-The fact that
the strike of the miners occurs concur
rently with a falling market is as
disadvantagpous to the strikers as it
is fortunate for the mine owners,
most of whom are glad Of the oppor-
tunity to limit the output which the
temporary cessation of work will afford
them. In this state of things only the
universally of the strike, and the unai-
nimity OF purpose among the men can
save the miners from defeats. and the
efforts of the leaders will be devoted to
proOnging the struggle beyond the
limit of tue masters endurance. Never
thelesS the situation is serious. The
gravity of the crisis is realized fully by
the conductors of other great indus
tries, and their alarm Is well-fOunded.
The factories at st. Helen'S have
given notice to their employees that for
the present the mills will be run OH
short time, and there is reason to fear
that the greatindustries OF Birmingham
will shut down till the prospects become
brighter. The outlook for Lo don is
better than that confronting most OF
the provincial cities and towns, and yet
the present or prospective effect of the
strike upon the metropolis seems to be
light. The coal dealers OF London. fore
seeing the danger. have ordered
largely from abroad, and tfeir supply
is merely question of securing trans
portatiOn and discharging facilities.
The men throughout the country are
