In the world. Its ties are OF solid ma

A Seattle Man Kills a Cougar.

On Sunday last Charles Acklen, of Seat
tie. who was visiting the family of James
Fdner, near South Bend, came across the
track of a cougar. On Monday morning
they started out to track the animal up,
and if possible to secure his hide. They
finally located the gentleman, but on ac-
count of the terrific storm which was rag

The Cordage Octopus.

New York, Dec. 26.-The purchase of
the machinery and cordage works of John
Good. located at Ravenswood and Brook
lyn. has been effected by the National
Cordage Company in everything but
technical details. The works are valued
at s.. 100000. The purchase of these works
means the acquisition OF some valuable
patents and another step toward virtual
control Of the industry.
Henry c. Kelly, large dealer in cordage
and ropes, said:
AsI understand il, the National Cordsge Com
uanv has not bought John Goods plant Ii
simply paid him subsidy to shut down. The
price paid, | believe. by the National Cordage

Any one, if dressed neatly and in cor

best society. Seldom are two ladies

all through the parlors are dresses OF every

Therefore, seeing it is not alone the
most devoted or extravagant votarles of
fashion who can secure an entrance to the
circles of the best society, would 1t not be
wise for ladies, young and old, TO try the
experiment of dressing less extensively

The Religious Desperate Surrenders to
Save His Daughters.

MOBILE, Ala, Dec. 26-An artillery de-
tachment of the First regiment of state
troops left here early this morning en-
route for the house where the Sims party
is fortified in Choctaw county. Sheriff
Gavina, on Christmas morning, sent to
Bladon Springs for cannon. When Sims
heard of this preparation to blow his
stronghold to pieces he looked at his
women folks and his heart misgave him.
He began to parley with the sheriff. At 3
o'clock he said he would surrender if the
posse would do him no injury, and if the
posse would protect him from mob
violence. \ meeting of the posse
was held, which lasted more than
two hours. There was great excitement
and much diversity of opinion. At first
the proposal of Sims was fatty refused.
But the fact that there were women in the
house was strong point in favor of mercy
TO the inmates, and the thought of shoot
ing with cannon into q house harboring
women was so repugnant that it overcame
the wild longing for the blood of the men
outlaws. So az last the terms of Sims were
accepted. At 80 the Sims party laid
down their arms and came out of the
house. The posse was astonished to see
that instead of seven desperate outlaws
there were only two men and boy-Bob
Sims, Thomas Savage and young Savage.
a nephew of Sims. Four women,
Bob's wife and three daughters, came out
also. The men were at once ironed and
placed in a wagon. The women were
placed in second wagon under guard. At
3 o'clock the procession started for Butler,
the county seat of Choctaw county.
While the posse in charge of the party
was en- route to Butler last night, a mob of
Choctaw county men oyerpoW cred the
guard and hanged the three men, Bob
Sims, Tom Savage and young Savage. 1t
is reported that another of the Savage bows
was hanged at the same time. This is adj
ditional to John Savage, hanged on Chris
mas eve.

ESSENTIAL TO GROWTH.


Some of the Advantages of Applying Lime
to the sail.
Lime is an essential to plant growth,
but only small quantity is required,
and it is rarely necessary to apply for
this especial purpose.
The principal advantage in applying
lime to the soil is that it tends to make
the plant food already in the soil avail
able. Wheat requires considerable
nitrogen to make the best growth and
yield, and lime applied on the majority
of soils tends to make this essential
element available. 1t can often be APP
piled to land intended to be sown to
wheat with profitable results, but to
keep applying lime and getting rid of
the nitrogen in this way often proves
injurious to the soil in the end, especial
ly if no material is applied that con-
tains a good per cent. of nitrogen to
take its place.
! Lime is also valuable for decompos-
ing vegetable matter in the soil. One
Of the best plans of using is to apply
broadcast before plowing under clover
or other green crops, especially if the
land is to be seeded to wheat.
On stiff clay soil lime can often be
used beneficially, helping to make it
more loose and friablc.
When used as fertilizer, or rather
to help make plant food in the soil
available, it should be applied broad
cast over the surface after plowing and
then worked into the soil with a har.
row or cultivator a short time before
sowing the seed.
In some cases lime may be applied to
land intended to be sown to grass. i
is also valuable for cabbage and corn
especially when "a good application o
fresh, coarse manure has been given
Just how much can be used must be de
termincd by the condition of the sol
and the cost of the lime. Prairie
