Murder at East Grand Forks.

The Grand Forks Herald gives the
following particulars regarding the MUIR
der of Justice Woods of East Grand
Forks: Officer Murray was standing
some 200 feet from the east end of the
bridge, when he heard a shot fired some
where up street. He went at once to in
vestigate and soon found the form of
Judge Woods lying upon the crossing
diagonally across from G. Madson's store.
The officer carried him to the city hall
and at once sent for a doctor, DR.. Irwin
responding. He found that Mr.. Woods
had been shot, the ball penetrating fairly
into the ball of the right eye. In his
opinion the case is absolutely beyond
the reach of human help, his death be-
ing only the question of an hour or two
at most. He was un~conconscious when
found, and will remain 80 until the end.
The theory of the police in the matter
it doubtless the correct one. Mr.. Woods
had quite a sum of money on his person,
and this fact must have been known to
some one who ATTEMPTED to rob him as
he was on his way home. Mr.. Woods
revolver was lying on the ground beside
him but every chamber was loaded, lead

The Phosphate Fields of Florida.

The old sources of supply of phosphate,
South Carolina, Canada and the West
Indies, have probably all reached the point
of maximum production, and it is to
Florida that the world must look for it's
increasing wants. What untold riches lie
under the soil of the Peninsula State may
be imagined from the fact that one of it's
richest tracts of phosphate land is 1000
miles square. Over most of this land the
thickness of the deposit varies from three
to thirty feet or more, the average being
about ten feet.
A cubic yard of the crude stuff will wash
out from 600 pounds to half a ton of clean,
dry nodules, and a recent survey has Civ
en- the contents of a single section of land
(640 acres) at 100000 tons. An acre of
phosphate land, if the deposit be only three
feet deep, will contain 1910 cubic yards of
stratum, yielding 1,600 or 1900 tons of
clear phosphate nodules.-New York Tele-

Uses of Old English Gravestones.

Old grave slabs are sometimes to be seen
used up in u old churches in an odd
manner, showing that our forefathers, in
these instances at least, had but small re-
gard for relics of the kind. There was one
fine slab, with a handsome cross incised
upon it, observed cut into lengths and
made into a water table, to throw off the
rain on the roof of Alnwick church. An
other in the same edifce may be seen made
into the Intel Of q clerestory windew. In
the south aisle. of Morpeth church another
y made into q Intel.
In Middleton church, Teesdale. there is
another example of similar economy. A
portion of the shaft of a cross carved with
Saxon ornament was made into the stem
of a font, dated 1864, in Rothbury church.
In this way many fragments have been
handed down to us that might otherwise
have disappeared altogether. -Gentleman's

OFF For the Bad Lands,
Clerk,

Archie Currie and Clarence Price left
for a ten days hunt in the Bad Lands
Monday. They we're dressed in the
height of fashion and no doubt will cap
ture many deer. MI. Currie wore a
broad white hat trimmed with a gold
band. A corduroy block coat, lined with
horse-leather, covered his Appolonic
form. His pantaloons were tucked into
a pair of aristocratic yellow top-boots.
Mr.. Price could not afford the yellow
boots, but had a pair Of stout brogans-
we'll BACKED. Above the shoes was
arranged a pair of brown over
alls, not over three sizes too
large, which we're very becoming.
His shirt was common and his vest he
got out on the farm. Above and outside
OF this was a black leather coat-with-
out fringe. His hat was Of a dark shade
OF yellow. He carried a gun. They
promised many friends to bring each
some large game chiefly deer and African
bear. Clarence told a friend he could
buy four at SIS apiece and Archie would
buy as many more. The scene at the
depot was pleasant until the governor
appeared with afidavits for them to sign
promising not to kill all the deer, as it
would save legislation on that point

Competitive Pulls at Fairs,

We breed draft horses for work, heavy
work, and the horse that can pull the
greatest load and walk the fastest with
it is the horse we want. If in awarding
premiums at fairs competitive tests were
required, and if in the great majority of
these tests the Percherons came off vic
tors, it would argue that the Percheron
formation was best in the draft horse.
If the Shires were victorious it would
indicate that that type was preferable.
So with the Clydes or Belgians. But the
method of judging heavy horses at pres
ent is no real indication Of the superior
ity Of the breeds, nor does it in fact prove
one horse superior to another for all
practical pnrposes.-4Cor. Breeders Ga,

Across the Arctic Ocean ut Two Miles a Day

The objects from the Jeanette drifted
in three years from the New Siberian
islands to the west coast of Greenland. If
we assume that they required one year for
the drift southwark from latitude 80 dogs.
north, on the east coast of Greenland, only
two years remain for the rest Of the jour
ney, and this requires Il speed of no more
than two nautical miles in every twenty
four hours. This does not seem too high a
rate when we remember that the Jeanette
drifted at the same speed during the last
half year of her drifting, and that in the
last days before she sank she drifted at a
much higher speed, which sometimes
reached even eight nautical miles every
tw~enty-four hours. 1t cannot therefore be
considered improbable that we should
reach open water on this side of the pole
within W years after our start from the
Siberian side, and if we take provisions for
five years We may consider that we have
an ample margin.-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen in
Forum.

able journal. The veto was published at
the time and no exceptions were taken
to the reasons given for the veto by the
Independent, nor does it discuss those
reasons now, but simply refers to the veto
as the e by which the farmers were
deprived of advantages in shipping their
wheat, when the fault was in the bill
itself, as the governor clearly pointed out
in his veto. The assumption now made
that the bennett bill was the same. in
all essential points as the law passed by
the South Dakota legislature and now
in operation in that state is untrue. The
object Of the two was substantially the
same, but there is quite a difference in
the manner of reaching the object.
The South Dakota law provides that the
railroad commissioners shall determine
whether a proposed warehouse is need
ed, and if so shall select the location,
serve notice on the railroad company,
and the circuit court shall appoint APP
p%raisers who shall determine the dam
age, and the applicant shall pay or ten
der the amount to the railroad company
before any right to enter upon the prem
ises shall accrue to the applicant, and
the right is reserved to either party to
appeal to the courts from the decision of
the appraisers. The South Dakota law
preserves the right of eminent domain,
which is indispensable in such case, and
in all cases where the lands of one party
are to be taken and appropriated to pub
lie use. The bennett bill ignored this
fundamental and %inalienable right and
proposed to to take and appropriate to
the use of another for warehouse pur-
poses the land of a railroad company at
a uniform annual rental of one dollar.
This provision of the bennett bill in
volved the same question upon which
the supreme court Of Minnesota declared
the law of that state of 1885 u%nconstitu-
tional, and Governor Burke would have
done the state and the farmers an injury
if he had approved the bill.

Bee keeninY.


In a bulletin on bee keeping, issued
from tho station of the Rhode Island
Agricultural school at Kingston, Mr..
Cushman says: "Bees are poor property
in crude and impracticable hives, but in
those well adapted to their purpose give
a good return for the time and money
invested. Bee keepers who have taken
the time and trouble to study the bust
ness have succeeded with practical hives,
easily opened, in which the combs are
straight and even, allowing of quick ex-
animation with little disturbance of the
bees.
"They unite weak colonies in the fall,
feed them if in want of winter stores,
and in winter give protection from wind
and prevent loss of heat by an outer
case, with packing, or by comfortable
quarters in the cellar. Extra stores are
supplied in spring, and, if needed, amore
prolific queen, and by various means ex-
tensive breeding is induced, to get a
large army of gatherers and comb build
ers before the honey harvest.
IF no more swarms are wanted breed
ing is discouraged during the honey
flow, and swarming is prevented by one
of several methods; and the large army
of workers use up their short lives in
storing honey instead of raising bees.
The crop is removed, a young queen
given in place of one whose hest powers
are used, the remaining bees are allowed
honey enough for winter. and raise
enough young to keep up their strength
unit! spring. This is followed year after
year, whether the season be good or
poor, so when the harvest comes a good
crop is insured.
Improvement in yield in some sections
is due to the planting of Eastwood trees
in private grounds and along roadsides
for shade. Nothing in this country equals
Eastwood bloom for honey production.
Alsike clover, now more generally
planted on heavy soil in connection
with or in place of red clover, is also
gradually increasing III bee p%asturage,
as well as the farmers crop OF cattle fod-
der. Bees may obtain the nectar from
alsike bloom, while they are unable to
reach that in the blossoms Of the first
crop of red clover. Buckwheat, usually
a profitable crop aside from honey, may
be planted to still increase the supply of
bee food, though it does not always yield
honey"
MI. Cushman emphasizes the impor-
lance of starting with a good hive and
sticking to it, SO as to have one kind only
in an apiary. thus making possible dou-
bling, dividing, changing combs of brood
or honey, tiering up, etc.
