,sFEcIAL TELEGRAM TO TEE DTsPArcH.i
SOMERSET, March 1S-Quite a stir was
caused in the County Commissioners othce
to-day, when an expressman walked In
with a package addressed to sheriff Good,
C. o. D. $50" The package, which was
from Alderman Bopp, of Allegheny, and
contained two ropes for hanging the
Nicely boys, had been first taken to the
Sheriff, but be refused to put up the 500.
The Commissioners did some tall kicking
in receiving and paying for the ropes, stat
ing that they might not be needed.
The Nicely cases have cost the county up
ward of s., 600, and there is a great d:al OF
growing among the taxpayers. As result
the Commissioners are exceedingly careful
as to all bills that might cause etill further OBJ
1ections This has led to the Commissioners
giving notice to the Sheriff that If he maintains
a death-watch over the prisoners. they VIII not
Obligate themselves to see that the bill is paid,
and it is expected the death-watch will be dis
continued after to-day. Meanwhile the ropes
have not been paid for. but will likely be taken
in, as their absence might make 1t very awk-
ward on the Commissioners at the proper time.
The filing of judgment in Greenso1rg
against A. A. Nicely, father of the Nicely boys,
by A. II. Coffroth, one of the attorneys, has
caused great deal of talk. and the question is
often asked, what did the men do with the
money they took at the time of the murder?
1t is also asked what new move will be made in
behalf of the condemned men, as Judging from
the movements of their counsel here something
sensational is expected.
A dispatch from McKeesport says: A. A.
Nicely, of Ligonier, father of the condemned
Nicely boys in company with the wife of Joe
Nicely paid a mysterious visit to this city last
evening and was closeted a greater part of the
night az the Hotel White with a strange gentle
man. Mr.. Nicely refused TO be interviewed,
stating that he had been summoned to Nc.
Keesport by an anonymous letter, the writer of
which said he had something of great import
ance to reveal to him. Nicely and his daughter
in-law took an early train this morning for
their homes and nothing definite is known of
what transpred. 1t is believed there is another

Deem and Shallow Cultivation of Corn.


Bulletin No. IA of the Missouri eXper-

report on experiments with corn made
in 1890. In these experiments trial Of
deep and shallow tillage gave an in
crease of over fourteen bushels per acre,
or q per cent of the entire yield, in ia
vor OF shallow tillage in 1889, and near
ly thirty bushels, or 30 per cent OF the
Weld in 1890. The implement used for
shallow tillage was made expressly for
this experiment, and has number OF
knives running an inch or more under
the surface. looseniug the soil and eff
fectually destroying the weeds in its
path, but not lifting the soil sufficiently
to cover the weeds in the hill unless
quite small.
The Illinois experiment station at
Champaign has made similar expert
ments, in which the average increase in
favor of shallow tillage was nearly eight
bushels per acre for a period OF three
years.
The Ohio experiment station has con-
Quoted similar experiments, using Gull
tivator not so we'll adapted to the pur-
pose as the one described, but with the
result also in favor of shallow tillage.

The Troublesome Alliance.
The following is from an Ohio cor.
RESPONDENT to the New York Press:

The farmers alliance, which the democracy
believed would be powerful ally in tn cam
paign, now turns out TO be quite as dangerous
an element to them as the republicans. This is
due to the fact that the alliance or as they call
it here, 1.-THE peoples party is crowding the
financial question in season and out of season.
The half dozen women which this new organi-
cation has travelling through the state lectur-
ing at farmers's picnics deal almost exclusive
ly with free silver and do not seem to see any
other question in the fight. In fact all their
speakers, and they have a number of tn m can
vassing the state are pressing the seductive
cry of more money upon every audience they
address.
The Press correctly sizes up the stu
alton. The battle cry of the peoples
party is more money; the politicians OF
Ohio are learning that they cannot COW
err up this question with tariff dust, and
there is not the least doubt that one
party would be as glad as the other to
