FARM NOTES.

Farmers Institutes have done much
to arouse farmers and disseminate prac-
teal information of value.
A sharp steel rake and n good prong
hoe are good implements with which to
begin the cultivation in the garden.
The cheerful announcement is made
that the peach buds are all right yet,
and those who have trees can reason
ably expect crop of peaches this year.
If you can arrange to have yUur poul-
try ready for market a little oarlie6
than the great majorityof your neigh
bors, you can generally realize much
better prices.
Plant the garden so as to have all of
the ground occupied during the growing
season. There is no advantage in plant
ing any kind of garden seed when the
soil is wet and cold.
This is a fast age, an age of rapid
transit in all callings, and occupations,
and the farmer who follows Old-time
methods and rolls himself up in ancient
one-crop ideas will not be able to keep
up with the procession, and the biggest
thing he will have on his farm will be a
mortgage.
1t can not. be denied that there are
great differences in crops, and the way
to find out which is best adapted to q
locality is to try them. not blindly, but
by taking into account both the debit
and the credit side. This fact once de-
termined. selection of the best-paying
crops should. be, made, and the others
dropped
Sometimes it is an item to have pota-
toes for market very early. When this
is the case, care should be taken to Sc
lect piece of land that is we'll drained,
loamy and readily prepared in good
filth. Potatoes need q deep prepara-
ton and thorough cultivation in order
to receive a vigorous growth. Get q
good early variety.
There are q number Of different ways
of sowing the oats in the spring: but
whichever plan Is followed, care should
be taken as far as possible to make the
necessary arrangements in advance 50
that the work can be done early. Oats
will stand light freeze with less in
Jury than the hot, dry sun in July, and
for this reason il is important to get
the work done early.
Diversified farming gives the farmer
several strings to his bow, and in ease
one crop is failure or proves unprofit-
able he has . chance of having anoaher
that will counterbalance his loss. The
method also improves the soil. the rota-
ton of crops being Of benefit The con-
slant planting of one kind of crop robs
the soil Of certain food elements neces-
sary 10 the plant until the soil becomes
exhausted Of that particular plant food
and the land is classed as worn out"

INDIANS ANGERED.

Hostilities Liable N the Spring Because q
the Lack Of Tact IN Government Omoials
and Misplaced Public Admiration.
CHICAGO, Feb 21.-The band of Sioux
who arrived here on their return jour
ney from Washington to Pine Ridge left
for their destination last night.
Before leaving American Horse made
this significant declaration. 81 signed
the Sioux reservation ceding treaty, but
when 1 saw how the mouths of my peo-
pie were closed in Washington told
the little chief Noble that would be
no longer a leader of my people, but
would mingle with them as a warrior
in the ranks rather than lift my voice
again in behalf of the white man"
Louis Primeau, of the Standing Rock
agency and one of the interpreters Of
the party, said: In view of the last
visit and the excitement Of last fall,
know-and / am no alarmist-that in
the spring there will be trouble. At
horticultural hall, in Philadelphia,
where crowds were present to see the
Indians, the only chief who received
marked attention was Two Strike, who
is hostile and always has been hostile.
The people crowded around him, shook
his hand, showered cigarettes on him
and made the old fellow weary with
demands for a speech The men
who have stood by the govern
ment for. years saw this and
knew that they were ignored
because they were friendly. The effect
was bad and not only bad but lasting.
They speak of it to-day among them
selves and wonder why the whites show
no appreciation of the men who have
practically ostracized themselves from
their kindred for the good of the whites
and what they believed was for tho good
of their own race. honestly bolieve
that the attention shown the actual
hostiles in the east to tho ignoring of
the friendlies will work "a much harm
as the little attention shown to both
bodies by the officials 1t Washington.
Neither friendly nor hostile is satisfied
by his treatment"

The Egyptian Question.

PARIS, Feb. 21.-The Temps In a.vio-
lent article on the Egyptian question
finds additional evidences As to the van
ishing of Egyptian autonomy in the
Duke of Cambridge's reviewing the
combined troops at Abassyeh and in the
advance on Tokar. The Debats In an
equally savage utterance congratulates
England upon dealing with q .servile
khedive, but warns her that in throw
ing off the mask too imprudently she
might as well declare a protectorate at
once, adding, however, that-such viola
tions of pledges are dearer than q VIC
togy such as Tel ell Kebir.

shipped from there to the Eastern mar

horses is steadily increasing.

RAGING RIVERS.

Damage BY Floods at Pittsburgh and Other
Polnts-People Driven From Their Homes
and Much Property Destroyed.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 19-At I
o'clock the current in the Allegheny
river reached 50 feet II inches and be-
gan to slowly recede.
With nearly every iron mill flooded
and closed down, railroad tracks
washed away, squares upon squares of
streets flooded to the second story and
thousands of cellars filled, the direct loss
by the flood can not fall short of $780,
600. The poor living along the river
have suffered so greatly that appeals
for aid have been issued by the mayor
of Allegheny. The greatest losses Of
course fall upon the down town whole
ments on Pennsylvania avenue, where
fully three miles of cellars are flooded
to the floors and goods damaged beyond
repair.
A special from Johnstown says: 1T
Is found that the foundations of many
houses arc undermined and loosened,
entailing great loss The bones of a
flood victim were found at the point
yesterday, having been washed up by
the waters. They were taken to the
morgue and then inferred in the 'un-
known plot at the cemetery. Street
cars are running again, and it is ex-
pected that the Cambria works will re-
sumo operations to-day. The most seri-
Gus loss is now felt to be the destruction
of the bridges and the different sections
of the city have no communication by
wagons or transfer. The towns below
this city are still in great distress,
while the farming communities are
heavy losers"
DAMAGE DONE IN KENTUCKY.
CATLETTsBURG, KY, Feb. 19.-Tho

In the Evansville mine recovered the
bodies of Larry Reed, Harry Ball. Mike
Smith and John Bullock in Balls Breast
yesterday afternoon. The four unfor-
tunate victims had evidently lived for
ten or twelve days. The space in which
they were found was seventy feet above

DEADLY DAMP.
Coal Mine Horror From Nova
Scotia.
ONE HUNDRED and TWENTY DEAD.
Identification of the Victims BY Sorrowing
Friends and Relatives-Most Deaths
Due to Choke Damp-An I'm
accountable Explosion.

HALIFAX, n. S, Feb ga frightful
explosion occurred in the west side OF
the east slope of the great Spring Hill
coal mines, the largest in Nova Scotia,
Saturday afternoon and the loss of life
was frightful, it being almost certain
that seventy men and boys were killed.
Twenty mine bodies had been recovered
up to nightfall. Those brought up
dead are: William II. Turner, Herbert
Armisha, Ernest Benbridge, James
McIrerier, Allen McKinnen, Laugh
lin Mc-Kinnen, Arthur Ander-
son, r. A. Sherlock, Andrew
Carmichael, James johnson, John
McKinnon, Richard Dawson, John
Boyd, Matthew Collins, Roy Mcdonald,
Samuel Muclle, Jerry Murphy, James
McEvry, Davis McEvry, John Bretliffe,
Edward Smith, James Sharpless, John
Carmichael, Joseph Tatersall, Willie
Brown, Phillip B. White, Thomas
Holet, David Watt and William Mckee.
The work of recovering the bodies is
being pushed forward.
Many of the bodies taken out are al
most unrecognizable. The dead are
being identified by Borrowing friends
and relatives amid heartrending scenes.
In the family of j. Armishaw three
sons are dead and that of Fred Carmich-
acl loses three and that of McVay two.
The injured are being cared for and
everything possible is being done for
them. Doctors from ParrsborO, Am
herst and Oxford were telegraped for
and arrived promptly to render neces-
sary aid for the alienation of the suffer-
ing. Many of those wounded are badly
burned. Only partial list of the in
jured is obtainable now.
The death of most of those brought
up is attributed to choke damp. Some
are not disfgured and look peaceful in
death. Many of the dead and those
missing leave large families.
1t is known that after a thorough ex-
animation of all the pits few days ago
the workmens committee expressed
themselves satisfied with the excellent
condition of the workings. Depety In
spector of Mines Madden also inspected
the pits and found no indication of gas
in the locality where the explosion took
place.
Manager Swift is among the missing.
All hope of saving the lives of those
In the mine has been abandoned. In
quiries are pouring in from all quarters
from anxious relatives of those en-
ployed.
Later-The effect of Saturdays disas-
ter at the great Spring Hill mine is now
felt more accutely. The work of recov-
ering the bodies was pushed forward
and the searching party entered the
mine at II o'clock Saturday night. A
number of bodies were taken up and
yesterday the work went on steadily.
The dead We're brought up more rapidly
and it was expected that most of the
bodies will be out of the pits by to-day
except those who are buried beneath
the falls of roof. The total number of
dead is now placed at III. Two of those
injured died last night. They were
Willard Carter and Joshua Mcneil.

Missouri Pacific repair shops and round
house in the Cypress yards, together
with eighteen large locomotives, were
destroyed by fire last night The loss
will aggregate s175, 600, principally on
the engines.
Only one freight engine was saved.
When the firemen found it useless to
try to save the round house and ma
chine shops they turned their attention
to small frame building occupied as
IN office. A force of men under the di-
rcction of Night Foreman Joseph Pea
body carried all the books and papers
of any value from the building TO
a small house a few hundred feet away.
The office building was damaged by fire
and water to such an extent that it will
have to be torn down. The blacksmith
shop, a small building on the north side
Of the round house, was also partially
destroyed
The machine or repair shops was a
frame structure one story in height
covering an area 50xS0 feet In this
building all the machinery used in re-
building engines was located The loss
on this part including machinery, was
about $40, 600.
The round house was also q frame
structure and was large enough to ac-
commodate twenty-one engines The
stalls were all filed with the exception
of two and the yard men were just get
ting ready to run two engines in them.
OF the number in the house were four
switch engines three new passenger
and eleven freight engines. The freight
engines were of the mogul and consol-
idated patterns and were all sixty ton

RIVER DISASTER.

High Water Causes the Wreck of Steam
boat at Cincinnati-lWOP Passengers Killed
A Brave BOatman to the Rescue.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 1S.-About o'clock
last night the steamer Sherlock. of the
Cincinnati and New Orleans line, under
command of Captain Mcintyre, backed
out from her wharf and started down
the river. She had aboard from thirty
to thirty-fve passengers and q crew of
fifty to sixty men.
The river was high and the wind
strong, and as the steamer approached
the Chesapeake 4 Ohio railroad bridge,
nearly all the passengers were on deck
to see how near the boats chimneys
would come to the bridge. Their curl
osity was soon changed to terror, as
they saw the boat apparently at the
mercy of the wind and current
In a moment, with terrible crash in
the darkness, the boat struck the stone
pier of the bridge and was utterly help
less.
James Pickett, Of the Kenton County
Boat Club, who was on the Kentucky
shore, saw the boat, instead of going
toward the wide center span, move
toward the Kentucky span, where the
current is. 1t seemed to be unmanage-
able and was too close to the pier, and,
to his horror, he saw her strike about
the wheel house on the Kentucky side
of the pier. She chung there for a short
time and gave distress signals.
Pickett manned boats with what help
he could command and went to the help
of the distressed passengers. He sue
ceeded in picking of six women and
seven men, following the floating vessel
as she left the pier and fioated down the
angry river. He says that he saw some
of the crew swimming ashore. He saw
two on a raft of three boards, and he
thinks he saw many struggling in the
water
1t is now known certainly that Mrs
Mclean, of Pittsburgh, and her grand
daughter, little Margery Brown, of
Pittsburgh, we've the only ones of
twenty-one registered passengers lost
OF the nine unregistered passengers,
whether all are saved is not known. II
is believed every one of the official crew
was saved.
In respect to the cabin and deck crew
there is a painful uncertainty. Persons
are reported escaping to shore for quite
a distance along the river in Covington.

Sherman's Remains.

New YORK, Feb 1S.-The family of
General Sherman yesterday decided to
allow the friends of the hero and the
veterans who fought with him an OPP
portunity to view the body. For this
purpose they set apart yesterday and
to-day from 10 q m. to 4 p m. for that
purpose.
The General looked quite natural in
his last sleep. There was but a slight
discoloration and the face was but lit
tie swollen. On the black lid of the
casket was folded an American flag, on
which rested the Generals hat and the
gold hilted sword aud scabbard pre-
scented to him at the close Of the war by
the State of New York.
