Uses of Straw,

At one of the late institutes the
question was asked: What kind of
straw is good foe bedding pigs, store
hogs, etc., in winter? There seems to
be a prejudice in the minds of many
against the use of straw about pig
pens. If intelligently used any OF our
straws are of great value, and we get
away with the big pile of it to gocd
advantage far better than to let it rot
down in the field or to burn it. As
an absorbent in pig yard and pen it
becomes a valuable article, and on
heavy clay lands this strawy manure
can be used to great advantage, while
on our own sandy lard We receive
great benefit from it. Far too many
farmers claim that they cannot raise
clover. A liberal application Of such
straw manure will convince the most
skeptical of their error. But it is the
abuse of straw in pig pens and yards
that causes the opposition to it. to pile
it IN pens and let it become filthy,
damp-nay, wet-then pile on moro.
until the arising gases commence to
show in the i'll health and uuthrift OF
swine. 1t ought to be the fall and
winter harvest. From so to 100 swine
ought to get away with an immense
amount of straw if it is timely renewed,
to the great advantage Of the pigs, the
farm and the pocket.

1t is the honorable privilege of the

queens of the earth whose influence,
centered in the right royal home

And so, with our trusting faces

we as active, earnest women of today
do our part, each in her own individual

WEARY OF LIVING.
AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY
THE ARSENIC ROUTE.
Mrs. Jesse Bradfeld, Weary of Exis-
tence, Takes Large Dose of Fow-
ler's Solution-Is Only Saved
With Difficulty.

A sad affair took place at the home
of Jesse Bradield on South Fourth
street last evening when Mrs. Brad
field attempted to take her life. The
woman. has been i'll for some time and
DR.. Gish had prescribed Fowler's So
luton of arsenic among other things.
Family affairs have been hard for her
for years; her husband has been mixed
up in several difficulties and funds have
been low. Lately he threatened to
leave her and take the children. With
it all she lost spirit and desired release
from the cares of life.
During the evening she took large
dose of the arsenic and, it was thought,
some other drugs that were in her
room. In about an hour her condition
became alarming and DR.. Ross was
sent for post haste. On his arrival he
gave her an emetic and by midnight
had succeeded in reviving life IN her
weakened body. This morning DR..
Steelsmith was in consultation and as
the patient was considerably stronger
they agreed that she would get along
all right, unless other complications
should set in.
She is resting somewhat easier this
afternoon and apparently now has &c
desire to enter the mysterious realm
to which she came so near last eyeH-

CHICAGO, May 4.-B. P. Hutchinson,
of the board of trade, whose disappear
ance from Chicago caused sensation,
is again around his usual haunts.
He left the train in. the suburbs
and going to a boarding house
eluded reporters until after the
morning papers had gone to press.
Then he came down town to his little
sleeping apartment in the rear of his
business Office, Yesterday morning he
was up bright and early and by s
o'clock had, as customary with him,
cooked his own breakfast. Then he
made the circuit of a few favorite sa-
looms and chatted with the bartenders
while parta4ing of his liquid refresh
ment
When asked why he left the city in
such mysterious manner, 'Old Hutch"
replied, 81 am 81 years old and guess 1

asking anyone's permission"
Hutchinson was in company with his
son and friend The son says his
father will probably not resume busi-
ness for the present but will take a
long trip for his health.

much better aspect than was first sus-

The Governor of Mississippi Not in Favor
of the Scheme.
JAcKsoy. Miss, May SIN reply to
a reouest from the Weber county ALI
snce asking for his views of the sub
treasury plan, Gov. ]. NJ. Stone, who
has been frequently and tavoraoly
mentioned as the successor OF ex-Sena-
tor WalthaIl. has submitted letter IN
which he says: ''The proper 1unction
of government, as understand 1t, Is to
protect all in the full enjoyment OF
their rights by administering equal and
exact iustice to all and imposing as few
burdens as possible, equally distributed,
and then leaving every individual to his
own efforts for success and happiness.
Government has no wealth to bestow
and when it undertakes to dispense
favors it always has favorites and gives
to them at the expense OF tho.e not
favored. It must be so from the very
nature of things, for it has to take from
some to give to others.
$50 far as the sub-treasury IS IN
tended to supply an increase of money,
it promises nothing good to farmers
who above all others, will be the VIC
TINS of any initiation which will disturb
values. They need for their welfare a
currency as steady and stable as them
selves The traders and spectators
those looking oat for deals and corners
can riot amid the excitement OF specu-
Iative values and fluctuations from dis
turbauce of the circulating medium.
The farmer and laborer stand short OF
even chances in that condition OF
things. The promise OF opportunity to
obtain money at low rate of interest
by depositing cotton and getting an ad-
vance OF so per cent of its value is, l
think. 2 deiusion and snare"

since for raising row over domestic

Vicente Perez Rul, Mexican barber

The coming of Kill Nye has created
quite a stir among all classes of theatre
goers and there is no doubt but what the
celebrated William will make his initial
bow in San Antonio to very large audi
ence.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat, speak
ing OF Nye's lecture said: The great
wit fairly talked the audience silly, and
old and young folks alike gave vent in
shriIl, merry tones. His eve is full of wit
and humor and his manner in private con-
versation is reserved, but his every ex-
preston carries with il q iOcose air, and
his action, when interested, would COM
mend itself to the possibilities of Plautus.
He speaks in q moderate tone, and never
loses that comical mOnotony of expression
which aggravates his hearers to con-
tinued mirth, from slight smile at sight
OF him, a giggle at his first word; and a
may be, as common plate glass windows
will generally stand without breaking.
