has fifteen acres of this and had
already-July 15-cut two crops.
while the third was just ready for the
machine. Mr.. Kruger finds a ready
market for his hay at SIS to $40 per
ton. Mililotus alba, or Bokarra clover,
ne hnds too coarse and woody, but
sows little among his alfalfa for the
sake OF the aroma it imparts. Esper-
settle or sanfoin has not proven sue
cesstul thus far, but he is prosecuting
his experiments with it on various
soils.
Italian wheat is the best winter
grazing crop he has ever been able to
lind. Says that it grows very rapidly
and has the heaviest foliage of any of
the cereals, barley not excepted. He
has raised barley for the past twenty
years and his average crop has been
thirty-five bushels per acre. His crop
this year is forty bushels. After try
ing several varieties he has settled
upon the six rowed winter as the best,
but thinks that fresh seed should
often be procured, and always from
the north, as it seems to rapidly dcte-
riorate in this latitude. One great adj
vantage which he claims for barley
over corn is that it is never infested
with weevil to any troublesome eX-
tent, and can be kept over from one
year to another without loss.
Root crops are by most people con-
sidered Improbable for feeding pur-
doses, but Mr.. Kruger is of differ
ent opinion, and usually raises sew
eral acres of beets for his cows. This
year he has six acres, mangels or
sweets, long reds or sugar beets, and
later will put in several acres of ruta-
bagas. He says that planted early
beets get good start before the sum-
mer drOuth sets in and hold ON well
until the fall rains set in, when they
renew their growth, and before frost
reach size which makes them a
most profitable crop. Fruit appears
to do we'll wherever he has planted it,
and apples, pears and grapes are
scattered around in different localities
on the farm.
Along a wet weather branch
through his farm Mr.. Kruger has un-
dertaken to prove that the farmers of
these high rolling prairies can raise
their own fuel, and to that end has
planted a miniature forest. He be-
gan with cottonwood eighteen years
ago, and recently cut tree Of that
age which was sixty-siX feet
in height, furnishing log twen-
ty-seven feet long, thirty inches
in diameter at the butt and
eighteen inches at the top. He has in
creased his varieties from time to time
until he now has beside cottonwood,
catalpa, box alder several varities of
oak, elm, ash and maple. These trees
are not planted in rows, but jumbled
up in natures own lovely confusion
and will soon form complete jungle.
There is scarcely farm in this whole
section that does not contain similar
piece of land which can be used for no
other purpose, and might be made to
produce all the fuel needed on the
farm,

ST. LOUIS, Aug. ia dispatch
from Little Rock, Ark, says that ].
l.. Bay was arrested at 1:3O this after
noon on warrant sworn out by State
Treasurer Morrow, charging him
with larceny of 100000 of state scrip.
Bay is clerk employed by the bonds
men to investigate the books of de-
faulting eX-Treasurer Woodruff.
Great excitement was caused by the
arrest. When the legislature adj
iourned the joint committee left two
boxes with state securities which they
had examined and found to be cor
rect. Morrow claims that Bay has
broken into another box belonging to
the state and extracted there
from 100000 worth of scrip
that was cancelled about two years
ago and which was put in the boxes
left here by the legislative committee.
Bay was taken before a justice of the
peace and gave bond in the sum of
$4,000 for his appearance September l.
John G. Fletcher, j. HI. Mccarthy
and Dan Zones, who are on Wood
rufus bond, went his security.
The warrant was sworn out by
without consulting any of the
of the state board. The ar
rest was great surprise to Woodruff
and his bo9dsmen, who say that the
securities placed in the box by Bay
are only those that constitute vouch
ers held by Woodruff.

DENIsoN, Tex, Aug. 17.-At an
early hour this morning a girl about
eighteen years of age was found lying
in an alley in the southwestern part
of the city, racked in the terrible pain
preceding child birth. Her name was
learned to be Ida Hatfield.
She has been resident of Denison for
the past eight years and is the daugh-
ter of soldier. She has been en-
ployed as a servant by a prominent
family until it was learned that she was
enciente, when she was discharged.
Since then she has been going from
place to place without a home. The
city physician was called to attend her
and she was taken to house to pre-
vent her dying in the streets, as she
was very weak from exposure. The
author of her ruin is not known.

SHERMAN, Aug. H.-Aunt Lottie
Perry, an old negro woman, died Sat
urday night in this city at the age of
ia years. She had been blind for
many years, except few days about
year ago, when all of a sudden her
vision was as clear as child's. The

The Fourteenth Century was the
age of thought, but if there is one
characteristic more tE an another
which distinguishes the Nineteenth,
it is that which makes it the remedial
era.
The discovery of remedies and of
means of alternating human suffering
have gone on until it sometimes seems
there is little left for the doctors to do.
Undoubtedly kind nature contains
somewhere an antidote for every
physical ill if it only can be found.

will relieve any pain by acting imme-
diately on the part afflicted, and the
nerves in which the torture is located.
THE ingredients that enter into it's
composition are fluid extracts of ar
MICA, oil of camphor, chlorodine and
magnetic fluid combined with rare
essential oils. The properties of these

together they form combination that
is wonderful in it's effects upon pain
no matter what it's origin, whether it
be from wound, bite or sting, an I'LL

of the liniment is none the less imme-
diate and powerful, and by absorption

short while was taken i'll and at II

started in search OF the alleged ira
drcer of his wife's character and meet
ing him on the street proceeded 10 ap-
ply the whip vigorously TO Douglass
body. The latter backed away from
his assailant, calling on him to desist,
he (Douglass) was armed and would

and showing pistol. Williams then
closed with Douglass, throwing his
arms around the latter's body. when

it against Williams body fred. The
