The Best Beans.

Bean growers are not agreed as to the
best variety, Certain kinds are I'M
doubtedly better for certain soils and
methods of culture than Others, and
which kind would be the best for any
particular field cannot be told without a
full knowledge of the circumstances.
A comparatively new sort. the Burlin-
game Medium, is very early, hardy and
prolific, having been known to Weld at
the rate of forty-two bushels to the acre.
The Scotield or early marrow pea is the
most popular sort in western New York,
and is rapidly becoming so in the bean
growing districts of Michigan and the
west These are the earliest sorts to
ripen and do not require as much room
as the others, twenty-four to twenty
eight inches being the common distance.
Medium and white marrows are stronger.
growing little later, and require moro
room.
The white kidney has the largest vine
and is the latest to mature. The prolific
tree bean, which has been extensively
advertised as so uncommonly prolific, is
very late, and l have never known of a
profitable crop of that variety OF the
colored field beans, the China red eyes
and the yellow eyes are early, very hardy
and easily grown. The turtlesoup is
larger vined and late, and both it and
the still larger and late red kidney some
tunes give enormous yields, but are very
unreliable. All the colored beans at
times command very high price and
other years are quite unstable, SO that
with these varieties we are apt to lose
one great advantage of the bean crop
that is, a ready sale. Considering all
things, the early marrow pea is probably
the safest variety for an experimental
crop, says q Michigan farmer.

exact origin of the Dexter strain is some
what uncertain, but the best accepted
theory is that they have been bred in

The Dexter differs from the Kerry in
being short in the legs and somewhat
coarser in the bone. Their heads are

Selection of Eggs for Matching.

fertile, especially in regard to size. Eggs
for incubation ought neither to be too
small nor too large for any variety.
What is wanted is the average size from
the best layers of the breed desired.
Smooth, hard surfaced eggs are to be
preferred over the wrinkled ones or those
with indentations. Some of our fanciers

Be Is Charged With Completely in the
Tacoma Bank Robbery.
TACOMA, WASH, Sept. 13.-The case
OF K. V. Albertson, the Seattle attorney
accused OF concealing stolen property in
connection with the Fidelity bank rob-
berry, was called in the justice court to-
day. The defendant is a cousin of AL
bertson, the defaulter who has not vet
been caught. The charge OF grand lar
ceny was substituted for the original.
complaint.
Thomas B. Wallace, president of the
Fidelity bank, testified that on Saturday
night, August 22d, X. Albertson
absconded with the banks funds.
On Wednesday morning mes
senger delivered letter from
Albertson, in which he stated he was
short in his accounts $11 $50, and had
concluded to make it $4,000. Albertson
also took 100000 in securities, and
changed all the combinations on the
safes. The letter also contained an agree
ment in triplicate, and instructions for
Wallace to meet a man named Chandler
at Browns Point. The letter said that
the agreement in triplicate was to be
signed in triplicate before witnesses and
delivered to Chandler before 8 O'Clock
Monday morning. In caee OF refusal
Albertson threatened to burn the secur-
tiles, and reminded Wallace of the
trouble and expense the bank would be
put to if the securities were burned.
Wallace related how he went to the
place designated by Albertson and re-
ceived the securities from Chandler, and
an agreement that neither Albertson
nor Chandler were to be prosecuted was
delivered to Chandler. 1t is the pur-
pose of the prosecution to show that r.
B. Albertson prepared the agreement
not to prosecute, three weeks before the
robbery occurred, and that he was cog
nizant of the whole affair and party to
it. The case will be continued tomor-
row.

THE COURT HOUSE CLOCKS.
A Complete System Much Resembling
the "WaterburY.''

A Complete System Much Resembling
the "Waterbury."
The vital electric current seems to
have very little effect on the moribund
clock system in the new court house.
When the contract for the building was
let, it was proposed to run the large col
lection of dials by wind; that is, q
pneumatic system was bargained for,
but the supervisors did not consider this
q successful invention, and paid $500
more for electricity. That $500, so lar
seems to have been dead loss, to say
nothing Of the original cost.
The contractor for the clock system
has had two men at work on it for a
week, but they have not yet succeeded
in finding out why the ''wheels don't go
round" 1t was the intention to run
the big tower dial from the central
machinery in the supervisors room, as
well as all of the other smaller dials
about the building. But so far, the
supervisors clock is the only one
that goes, and that doesn't go very
we'll. The electric wires are all buried
in the walls of the building, and these
are "crossed." Just how they are to be
uncovered does not appear. The cleo
trician who is now operating on the
building has great hopes OF getting the
interior sy tenn working ''in time" but
he shakes his head obviously when the
big tower dale are mentioned. He does
not recommend that people who want
to catch a train should set their watches
by them.
Yesterday, if wayfarer in the build
ing had watched the dials carefully he
might have seen the hands get move
on themselves occasionally, take good
start, and then-stop. They spent the
larger part of the time stopping. This
does not apply to the tower clock it has
never done anything else but stop since
il was erected.
The order for the bell in the tower has
been countermanded. The supervisors
did this because they did not wish to

Mrs. Davis wants Her Money

New YORK, Sept. IA suit will be
begun tomorrow by Mrs. Jefferson Davis
against the, Robert Beford Publishing
company and Edward Lange, for al
legged violation of a contract with Mrs.
Davis to publish the memoirs of Jeffer-
son Davis. The contract provided that
the publishers should bear the expense
and pay Mrs. Davis royalty of 121s per
cent. Prior to the time for the first
settlement, Belford transferred the con-
tract to the Belford company. The ac-
counting then showed Mrs. Davis's per-
centage to be $4,000, which she says has
not been paid. The publishers claim
inability to pay at present.

NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-At the time of

His wife identified one OF the charred
bodies as that OF her husband,
and buried it. She also received $1,000
from the mayors relief fund. Yesterday
to her JOY she received message from
Halifax announcing that her husband
was alive and well. On the day of the
accident he fell by the wayside, and
when he came to his senses he found
that he had shipped on sailing vessel
for Halifax.

A NEW TORTURE.
Hans Olsen Will Not Allow His
Enemy to Sleep.

Hans Olsen Will Not Allow His
Enemy to Sleep.
John Griffin, switchman employed
in the Southern Pacific yards of this
city, and Hans Olsen, his next-door
neighbor, are not on very friendly terms.
The men live on San Fernando street,
near the corner of Sotello, and Griffin
sleeps in the daytime. Recently Olsen
became more bitter than usual against
Griffin, and he determined to get even.
His plan was to purchase fish horn and
blow it throughout the day in room in
his own house right next to Griffin's
sleeping apartments. The scheme
worked to perfection, andthe switchman
put in all the time when he should have
been sleeping, cursing the Norwegian
and his horn.
Last Saturday Griffin had Olsen ar
rested for disturbing the peace. When
the latter appeared in the police court
he carried his invalid wife in his arms,
and go worked on the sympathies of the
court that be was allowed to go for
month on his good behavior.
The first thing Olsen did when re-
leased was to buy hand organ. The
organ took the place of the horn, and
has been going steadily at the Olsen
mansion nearly ever since. When
Griffin heard the soothing strains of
annie Roonie' and other similar mel
odies come floating through the cracks
in the thin board partition he was Wild
new warrant was sworn out and Olsen
was again taken back to jail yesterday.
Griffin, hollow-eyed and weary, saw his
fiendish enemy safely behind the bars
and then went home to rest. He lay
down in bed and prepared for a good,
hard sleep, but he had scarcely touched
the pillow before Zone, Two, Three,
Balance With Me" came forth from the
organ. Mrs. Olsen was at the crank.
Griffin now wants the woman arrest
ed also, but as the district attorney is
in grave doubt as to whether an offense
is committed when man chooses to
play the hand organ in his own castle,
he will await the outcome of the case
against the husband before issuing more
warrants.
