THE MILITIA BILL.

The militia men of the city are very
much pleased over the pass age of the
militia bill by the lower house of the
legislature. 1t is now thought there
will be no difficulty in getting the
bill though the senate and that the
militia feel that they have been re-
cognized by the state authorities.
They believe that in the future it
will not be so difficult for them to Sc
cure fair appropriation and that the
time is coming when the National
Guards will be given the credit they
deserve. The bill appropriates $780,
600 of which $4,000 goes to the
university, the balance being devoted
to the support of the militia force.

At five o'clock yesterday afternoon

of the weapon. The heavy load of
shot entered his side, broke three
ribs. tore a CHASTITY hole, and cut out
his heart and lungs, pieces of which
were found lying on the ground near
at hand.
A coroner's jury was summoned, as
soon as the news reached town, and
went to the scene. An investigation
of the tragedy was made, but the YER

PREFERRED DEATH TO HUMILIA.
TON.

Mrs. George W. Miller, wife of a
young farmer who resides two miles
north Of Sweet Springs, committed
suicide by taking large dose of ar
senic, Monday night. No reasons are
assigned for the deed. except that she
was victim of circumstances over
which she had no control. Last No
vember, while walking from the city
to her home, she was brutally assault
ed by negro man, and the affair had
weighed heavily upon her mind ever
since. She was at that time unmsr-
ried, and aged about 19 years. Her
maiden name was NiDas. The negro
who assaulted her was arrested and
placed in the county Jail at Marshall
to await the meeting of the grand
jury. Yesterday was the time set
apart for the case, and it is supposed
Mrs. Miller could not reconcile her
self to the necessity of submitting her
evidence, and rather than endure the
embarrassment, committed suicide.
No other cause is advanced for her
wishing to die.

GONE WITH A HORSE.
William Hoffman Steals q Valu-
able Animal and has Left for
Parts Unknown.

Two months ago a young German
named William Hoffman, with wife
and two children, arrived in Sedalia,
in search of work. He happened
upon Col. w. B. Riley, proprietor
of Hotel Riley, who paid 81
freight bill for him at the Union
depot and also found him work, the
German being a good house painter.
Riley also rented him a residence in
the western part of the city in which
to live and things were going along
smoothly until last Thursday,
when Hoffman sent his ladders and
household furniture to Dresden, secret
ly, and shipped them from there to
some point west-probably Kansas
City. Mrs. Hoffman and her children
also suddenly disappeared. On Fri
day Hoffman bought a spring wagon
in Sedalia and disappeared with a
valuable horse belonging to Colonel
Riley's son. The last seen of him
was Friday afternoon by farmer who
resides in the Dresden neighborhood.
The alleged thief, together with an
unknown man, was seated IN the
wagon drawn by the stolen horse, and
was headed toward the west.
Colonel Riley says that HOf-
man worked the scheme very
cunningly aud thinks that he is a
natural born rogue, although he was
an industrious and superior work
man.
Hoffman came from Indiana to Pc
oria, Illinois. He did not stay very
long in the latter place, when ne re-
moved to SeGalia under the circum-
stances stated above. Riley offers a
liberal reward for HOffman's capture.

Mrs. B. Segerson on East Third

For while it was thought the little
girl was dead, but a physician was
called in and her life was saved. Mrs.
Jefries is quite sure that
the children were poisoned,
accidentally, but from what source
she declined to say certainly, to the
BAzOo representative, who called to
see her this afternoon. The little boy
and girl had almost entirely recovered
and were playing about the house.

RUN OVER By AN ENGINE.
This morning, in front of the Union
depot, a fine bird dog was snuffiIg
around on the track, when a switch
engine from the yards came bowling
by at a rapid rate of speed. The low,
narrow platform attached to the front
of the engine caught the dog
aud lifted it up bodily and
threw it Immediately under the loco
motive. Instantly and instinctively
the dog crouched as close to the ground
as possible and the locomotive passed
clear over it without doing the animal
the slightest injury. The escape, even
for dog, was simply miraculous, and
was witnessed by at least one hundred
people.

THE SCHOOL BOOK BILL.

Jefferson City Tribune.
The house committee text book bill
was again under consideration yester.
day. One of the amendments adopt
ed by the senate was rejected, and in
the opinion of many it was the most
important of all. This amendment
provides that in the event the commits
sion is unable TO make an advantageous
contract for five years with some
school book publishing house, arrange
ments may be made for compiling a
series and contract with some che to
print the same.
If the senate recedes from its
amendment the commission can choose
between two issues accept some bid
offered, or leave the matters as they
stand. But if this feature of the bill
is not eliminated the commission will
be armed with power to either make
a satisfactory contract with some
school book firm or compile a series.
1t seems altogether reasonable that the
senate amendment should be retained
even if for no other purpose than to
strengthen the very object of the law,
viz. to procure cheaper school books.

IN TIE DAIRY STABLE.
Floor and Watering Trough Arrange
ment at Wisconsin Experiment Farm.


L. Fl. Adams, superintendent of the ex-
pertinent farm, made the following report
on the arrangement of the stable and
methods Of tying, at one of the Wisconsin
farmers institutes. He said:
I'VE have had experience in several
methods of tying at the station, but none
have given such success as the stanchion.
There are opponents to this system of
fastening cattle, but all things considered,
| know of nothing to replace the stanch-
ions with at the present time. The floor
represented in the diagram is the same as
the one in use at the experiment station
farm, and has been for three years. In
putting this floor into our stable We took
out plank floor with four-inch drop be-
hind the cows; it was unsatisfactory. Our
cows would get dirty in spite of liberal
bedding. This matter of bedding is q
point that we must spend thought upon
if We wish to cut down the expenses of
dairying. With the floor represented here
there is no absolute necessity of using
bedding for the sake of cleanliness. There
has not been forkful OF straw litter of
any kind put on that door in three years
time, and there is not tag of manure on
the flank of one of the cattle.
This floor is six feet wide. and we can
drive right in with team and wagon and
load the manure from the cutters on either
side directly into the wagon. This floor
that the animal stands upon is about fifty
four inches wide. This watering trough
IS made of two planks, one ten inches wide
and the other twelve, spiked together, and
the bottom OF the trough is on a level with
the floor on which the cattle stand. The
The Seattle post-intelligencer. [volume] (Seattle, Wash. Terr. [Wash.]) 1888-1914, 1891-11-23

trough has an incline of one inch to every
twenty feet. which is sufficient to carry
the water entering this end 10 the other.
There is an outlet At the other end 20
which the water runs after the cattle have
finished drinking. Feed is given to the
animals in this same trough. The drop is
twelve inches from the stats down to the
bottom. Whatever urine is on this floor
goes right through and Is taken up with
an absorbent that is thrown between the
joists which support this hoor. The solid
part of the excrement is left along III this
drop. COW in urinating will drop the
water farther forward than she viii the
solid part of the manure, so that IN clean
ing out it is not difficult il the manure is
out here.
For an absorbent we use horse manure.
The horse stands over the cows and the
manure is pushed through hole daily
down into the basement staole where the
cows stand. and distributed along these
cutters. and il takes up the liquid and
keeps the manure OF the farm all together
where il goes ont. If, as have explained,
the urine passes through these Stats, YOU
can readily see how the COW lies down on
4 dry door."
When questioned on the use Of bedding
Mr.. Adams said he would prefer 10 have
the COWS bedded where there was the ma
terial for il, but many daiTymen utilize
the waste products of the farm 50 closely
that they do not have material for bedding

People in the East weee in the habit of
seeing celery trimmed as shown at the
right of our illustration, and we have
learned to like the way. especially as the

any other part of the plant. The Kalama-

AT the left of illustration. This 10 us looks
like mutilation, and we think the
growers make mistake. II may take a
little longer to trim the roots of with four
