MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
white Caps.

MERIDIAN, May 1.-THE report of
the killing of Lewis Land, Of Kemper
County, reached this city today 1t
seems that a number OF men in the
western part of the county have been
playing the part of regulators, or White
Caps, and in several instances came
down into Lauderdole County and
whipped numerically parties whom
they thought needed punishment. In
most cases the victims were negroes,
and their last trip last Sunday night
was to the house Of 4 negro named An
derson, who lived near the line of Ne
shoba County.
The news leaked out that the party
first tried to get Anderson out of his
house, but he doubtless expected the
visit, as he barricaded the doors and re-
fused to show himself. They then at
tempted to break down the door, and,
failing in this, fired the house, after
telling Anderson's wife that she could
leave. When she did so he ran out and
fired into the crowd, killing Lewis Land
and, it is said, wounding two Others
whose names have not been divulged
The negro made his escape in the ex'
citement of the moment and has not
been heard of since.

THE MINE DISASTER.

Further Particulars Of the Calamity at
Ashley, Pa.-The Assistant Boss Respon-
sIbIe.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, May 1.-THE work
of attempting to rescue the imprisoned
miners at Ashley was interrupted by a
heavy rush of gas at three o'clock yes
terday morning, but at seven o'clock it
was deemed safe to resume the efforts,
and large party OF rescuers entered
the slope and commenced work upon
the cave beyond where three men were
found Thursday night. They soon broke
through and rushed into the chamber
beyond where, in the semi-darkness,
the men stumbled over yielding bodies.
A close search revealed six blackened
corpses near the opening, none of them
recognizable. Further along at various
places were found thirteen other bodies,
all more or less burned, but most of them
could not be recognized. The sight was
so horrible that two or three of the
rescuers tainted away.
When the news of the finding OF the
bodies became noised about scene en-
sued around the mouth of the slope
which will never be forgotten by those
who witnessed it. A strong guard OF
men held back the women who pressed
forward madly to enter the mine.
Half an hour later four men appeared
bearing a body on stretcher. The
women tore away the blanket, but only
saw blackened and charred remains.
Other bodies were brought out as fast
as possible and at noon all but six OF
those who we're in the mine when the
cave in occurred had been found. These
bodies were conveyed in ambulances to
undertaking rooms and prepared for
burial. The excitement pervaded every
part Of the town, and the streets in the
vicinity of the moTyue were completely
blocked with people, many of whom
came from other towns.
At one o'clock two more bodies had
| been brought out and search for others
was going on. The body of Michael
| Henry, known to be under an immense
pile of debris, may not be found for
several days. John Allen, the assistant
| fire boss, who fired the gas, is in
great agony. His face and hands
were but slightly burned, but he had in
|
Froine and Robert W. Roberts, the men
rescued, are in a critical condition. 1t
is believed they will also die.
General Superintendent Phillips in an
interview said: The men lost their
lives through the negligence of AS
sistant Mine Boss Allen who insisted on
relighting his lamp in the presence of
large volumes of gas. Had he not done
so the men now dead could all have been
rescued alive as there was good cur
rent of air going through the chamber
where the men had taken refuge after
| the cave in had taken place."
Many of the bodies have no heads,
others are entirely nude and most Of
them are mangled and disfigured.
At eight o'clock last evening all
operations at the mines were aban-
doned. There are yet six men in the
fatal chamber.

RILEY WON.
The Great Kansas City Horse Wins the
kentucky Derby.


LOUISVILLE, KY, May 15.-The feat
ures of the opening day of the spring
meeting of the Louisville Jockey Club
were the great crowd, some very lively
though not particularly heavy betting,
and the mud. And then the Kentucky
Derby was run in the slowest time on
record. The nearest approach to it was
in 1883 when Leonatus ga!loped away
from Drake Carter and the rest in 2:43.
The Derby was the third race on the
programme and Riley won it because he
was long way the best horse started.
None of the other five could touch him
on that muddy track.
There were six starters, as expected.
Riley, with Corrigan's green and white
cleaning fresh and clear, was the first
to show on the track, with Murphy up,
and was received with tremendous
cheering, meant as much for the rider
as the horse, Then came Prince Fonso,
with Overton up in orange and black,
followed in order by Palisade, with
Britton in the Melbourne stables blue
hoops and white cap; Bill Letcher, with
Allen up; Robespierre, ridden by Fran
els; and Outlook, ridden by Breckin-
ridge. Letcher and Robespierre were
greeted with rounds of applause.

STOCK ITEMS.


In fattening stock, grass can be used
to help, but the proportion should be
much less than in feeding for growth.
In fattening stock for market, when
1t can be done without too much incon-
venience, it will be best to keep the
young stock separate.
II the hogs must be kept confined, in a
majority of cases it will be found best to
cut rye or clover and feed them regu-
larly; better health and thrift can be
secured.
The successful stock-raiser must know
how to breed, feed and market to the
best advantage. In order to be able to
realize the best profit, each is i'm
portant-
Losses of range cattle in Nevada were
very heavy the past winter. Whole
herds were wiped out in some cases and
many were cut down from seventy-five
to ninety per cent, says the Chicago
Drovers' journal.
Breeding mules, like breeding horses,
can be made most profitable by only
breeding the best. The cost of service
is the principal item of expense, while
good sire will make a considerable
difference in the quality.
If young pigs are permitted to run
with the fattening hogs, and even If
they have in addition the run of good
pasture, they will not make so good a
gain nor prove so profitable as pigs that
are fed less grain during growth, and es-
pecially so long as they have plenty of
grass or clover.
1t is difficult to give an exact ration
for feeding animals ofany kind, as there
is so much difference in their require
ments that what would be overfeeding
with some would be an insufficient
quantity with others. The proper guam
tity is that which, with grass or clover,
is necessary to keep in a good thrifty
condition. Less than this is loss and
more than this is a waste.-Exchange.
Approach the young horse as you
would approach foreigner who does
not understand a word of your language
and as you would approach deaf man or
an inattentive boy. He can hear better
than you can, and is never inattentive
to any new sound, so that shouting and
whipping will only hopelessly confuse
and alarm him, and render it impossible
for him to give you the calm attention
and placid obedience you want to in
sure.
Generally there is little danger OF
overfeeding the stock on the farm un-
less it be the young, growing stock; and
the greatest danger of doing this is in
the summer, when the stock are allowed
to run together and some are being fed
to finish for market. With the majority
of stock, at least, grass is the cheapest
and best material that can be used to
secure growth during the summer; but
it should not be depended upon entirely.
Some grain or other material should be
supplied in addition.-St. Louis Repub-
lie.

A NEBRASKA DECISION.
Elevators May BE Erected on Railroad
Property BY Private Parties.

Elevators May BE Erected Railroad
Property BY Private Parties.
LINCOLN, Neb., May 15.--About a
year ago the Farmers Alliance at Elm
wood, Cass County, applied to the Mis-
elevator on the company's right of way
at that station. This the comrany de-
MED. The Alliance applied to the
State Board of Transportation for re-
lief. The board heard the case
and after deciding among other
things that an elevator was an
appliance necessary for the shipment of
grain and that the granting of the right
to erect elevators to other parties and a
refusal to grant the request of these
com plainants was an unjust and un-
reasonable discrimination, ordered the
company to grant the complainants a
site for an elevator.
This order the company refused to
obey and Attorney-General Leese APP
piled to the Supreme Court for writ of
mandamus to compel the company to
obey the orders of the board.
The Supreme Court granted the writ
yesterday. The decision is justly re-
garded as an important one, as it settles
the question of the power and jurisdic-
tion of the Board of Transportation over
this class of cases. 1t also settles the
rights of the people to erect elevators
at the company's stations and to be ac-
corded equal shipping facilities with all
others. This was test case on which
the fate of fully dozen other cases in
various parts of the State depended.

DUN'S REPORT.
Signs of Reaction In the took Market-En-
couraging Reports From Most Cities
business Failures

Signs of Reaction In the took Market-En-
couraging Reports From Most Cities
Business Failures.
New YORK, May 17.-R. G. Dun &
Co. S weekly review of trade says: The
stock market has rushed ahead until it
has absorbed all the money within reach
and now some signs of reaction appear,
with little selling by foreign holders.
Substantially the same phenomena have
been observed in wheat and corn and in
the market for pork products. Each has
at command limited amount of money.
When that supply is absorbed, whether
by accumulation of stocks carried or by
advancing prices, reaction is natural.
The tendency of prices during the
past week has been downward. Wheat
declined cents on sales here of only
$4,000, 900 bushels, corn ia cents on
sales of -, 500, 900 bushels, while oats
are steady. The trade begins to COM
prehend that inside of thirty days a new
crop of wheat will begin to come into
the market and while winter wheat is
certain to be short the reports from
spring wheat States indicate great in
crease in acreage and good condition.
The reports from most cities are al
most uniformly encouraging. At Phila-
delphia in the leather and boot and shoe
trades there is activity, while the wool
manufacture is hindered by apprehen-
sion of higher prices, and spinuers take
for immediate wants only. This is true
of Boston also The prices realized at
the recent fiannels auctions here have a
depressing influence. At Chicago dry
goods sales exceed last years and
payments are fair, but the clothing
trade is dull and the fact that
bank clearings are larger than ever
before finds explanation in speculative
activity in the grain and pork markets.
st. Louis reports good trade and sup
plies of money equal to the demand,
while at Pittsburgh trade is rather dull;
at Cleveland fairly active, causing some
monetary stringency; at milwaukee,,
only fair; at St Paul, improved by re-
cent rains in the Northwest where
drought began to be feared; at Kansas
City, rather quiet, and at Omaha good,
with easy money.
The monetary situation at New York
has not been altogether satisfactory.
The foreign trade of the port is more
satisfactory than was expected, showing
an increase over last year of 81, 900. 600
in exports for half of May-more than 40
per cent.
The business failures occurring
throughout the country during the past
seven days number 212 as compared
with 200 last week. For the correspond.
ing week of last year the figures were

FARM NOTES.

Plan to bring out the resources of tho
iarm to the best advantage. Make every
part pay.
piled to the soil the better and more i'm
mediate will be the effect.
1t is not good plan to set out forest
tree taken from dense growth. Select
those grown in an open space.
If not possible to haul out all the ma
nure in the yards or lots, pile it up care
fully, in order to prevent loss.
Let the cultivator follow the harrow
as soon as possible; stirring the soil
frequently and thoroughly is the prin-
cipal item in cultivating.
On many farms it is quite an item to
get the cultivated crops in a good con-
dition before harvest, and if this is
done every advantage must be taken.
The farmers in this vicinity who have
unmortgaged farms, and whose checks
are as good as gold, raised their crops on
the farm, and not on the store-steps and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS (Kan.) Repub-
lican.
If newly-set trees are to be mulched,
the better plan is to keep them we'll
cultivated until the first of June, at
least, and then apply the mulch. This
will aid materially in retaining moisture
in the soil
Ducks and geese are great foragers;
if they can be allowed the run of good
pasture or the grain fields in the summer
after the crops have been taken off they
will make the best part of their own
living, and will pick up much that would
otherwise go to waste.
Many Ohio farmers find that by ap-
plying commercial fertilizers at cost
of three dollars per acre to their wheat,
in the fall, they are able to secure an in
crease of from ten to fifteen bushels per
acre. Cannot this be done in the West
as we'll. The increased yield is largely
proft.-Exchange.
The farmers who are not in debt are
not complaining about hard times.
There is more money in hogs at IS. so
with corn at Is cents than there was in
hogs at Sc and corn 40 and SO cents. One
man made 500 month last winter feed
ing just one car load of cattle. There
is no trouble about a man making
money on corn if he puts it in the right
kind of cribs.-Hiawatha (Kan.) World.
In an average season or when it is dry,
level cultivation will give the best re-
suits. But where it is wet, and especi-
ally if the land is naturally moist, it
will in many cases be advisable to hill
up, using the diamond plow and run
ming reasonably close to the plants.
This not only affords good chance for
drainage, but also allows the sun to
more thoroughly warm up the soil
around the roots.-St Louis Republic.
