{ THE poll by the st Louis Republic OF
the 103 members OF the Illinois assembly
who. on the final ballot for United St4tes
senator at the last session OF that body,
cast their votes for John NJ. Palmer. has
resulted in securing an expression from
81 of them. This lacks but two OF
majority. and the vote is lsree enough
aud decisive enough in its character to
indicate the controlling sentiment of the
body. The vote. 100. is representative
in it's character, its total being one more
than the number of legislative districts in
the state. nearly al of which are repre>
tented in the poll. Put in tabular form
it shows the following results:

Smut in Oats and Wheat.

Bulletin % of the Kansas experiment
station gives the result of experiments to
prevent smut in oats and wheat. The
amount of smut in oats in 1891 in the
fields about Manhattan was about 53i
per cent, as shown by actual count.
Potassium sulphide was as effectual in
preventing oat smut as the hot water
treatment previously recommended. 1t
Fan be used at the rate of one pound in
twenty gallons of water, the seed to re-
main in the solution twenty-four hours,
Or use about twice the amount and re-
move the seed at the end of ten or twelve
hours. Treatment of the seed with hot
water or with potassium sulphide both
prevents the smut and increases the
yield. The loose smut of wheat was con-
siderable in 1891 on some of the plots on
the college farm. Fifty-four trials with
various fungicides did not furnish de-
risive evidence favorable in any case.
Spraying spring wheat, barley and
oats with flowers of sulphur, potassium
Bulphide, chloride of iron and Bordeaux
mixture, singly, at intervals of about
eight days, from April 81 to July 9, had
apparently little if any effect in pre-
venting red and black rust. Spraying
corn plants with Bordeaux mixture,
chloride of iron or potassium sulphide
did not prevent the development of corn

Raisel Flower Beds

RAISED beds, as a rule, are not admis-
Hble III flower garden. The introduce
ton of so many new plants into summer
bedding arrangements has made the
elevation of any particular bed or beds
merely question of planting, and any
attempt to raise them much above the
ground level by irons, wire, woodwork
Or other devices has an artificial appear
ance quite out of character with the
natural beauty of a garden, especially
when the floral display is at an end. In
the pleasure ground, however, the case
is different, and the removal of a tree
whose decay has made it dangerous to
life and limb is oftentimes the prelude
to raised bed. A few feet of stump
left IN the ground, the soil broken up
and surface roots removed, a few cart
loads of fresh soil and the bed is ready.
Many things present themselves as
suitable for the planting of such beds for
q summer display, Can ary creeper, HUI
mulus japonicus and Cobea scandens
ranking among the best on account of
their rapid growth. If, however, the
first planting of such bed is to be per-
manent affair almost all of the climbing
roses will be found suitable. So are the
varieties of R. polyantha and Rosa in
dica, and if few plants are placed in
such proximity to the stump as to allow
sufficient shoots to be directed around
and over it to clothe it nicely, the bed
will quickly present furnished appear

cooP FOR EARLY CHICKS.

1t is 4 feet long, 21s feet wide and
21s feet high in the center. 1t is made
from q inch boards. One side is made
of glass so that the sun will keep
the chicks warm, although the weather
may be very bad. The door is made
to slide upward when opened There
is also small door for the chicks
to go in and out at their leisure. This
is convenient coop for chickens hatched
in cold weather, because it can be turned
SO the suns rays will fall directly on it.

somewhat Of a burden to ex Congressman
Neidringhsus. May ID, 1891, MIR. Neid-
ringhsus stated in an interview that he
would have his great tin-plate factory
ready for turning out Anne rican tin-plste
in merchantable quantities by July, and
that he expected to make not less than 500
boxes q day by that time. He did not
say next July" or "the coming July"
but just July" When July" came he
was still not quite ready. That was
nearly eight months ago, and when called
on two weeks ago the big tiu-plate fac
tory was going to be in full blast ''inside
Of two weeks" The other day the two
weeks were up and the reporter called
around fully expecting to find that the
production of tin-plate in st. Louis was
an assured and indisputable fact, and he
found the propristers unable to accept an
order for 10 tons Of tin plate to be filled
in 10 days because the factory was mot
yet quite ready" to be run On full capsc-

Arthe urgent solicitation Of his friends

ATthe urgent solicitation Of his friends,
not only of Douglas county. but through
out Illinois, where he is well and favor
ably known, William B. Brinton, of Tus-
cola, who has for several years been
treasurer Of the democratic state central
committee, has decided to submit his
name to the state convention to be held
at Springfield, April 81, for the office Of
state auditor, and the outlook at this
writing is that he will have little OPPOSE
ton in the convention, as the democratic
leaders and the papers of this state APP
pear to accord him the place, and regard
his nomination as foregone conclusion.
Mr.. Brinton, in his capacity of general
agent Of the Moline Wagon company has
travelled through the state ever
since 1874, and has been q regular Wis.
iter to almost every town and city in it.
In this manner he has been able to form
wide acquaintance, and he has q per-
sonal acquaintance with more people in
Illinois than perhaps any other man.
This gives him great advantage in a
campaign, and he would no doubt secure
Q great many votes on the strength of this
acquaintance. AS member of the SUBJ
committee Of the state executive commit
tee ON doubtful districts in 1890. he rem
dsred material services to the party. and

Cold Frames.

Cold frames have much the same form
Of construction as hotbeds In the cold
frame the finely pulverized soil is warm
ed from the heat of the sun received
through the glass covering, which also
excludes the cold night air from the
terminating seeds or tender young
plants. In the hotbed the heat is mainly
derived from the fermenting manure in
the bottom. This, with the solar heat
added, is very forcing, and it requires
daily attention and frequent waterings
TO get the best results from a hotbed.
In the south the cold frame will usually
meet all the requirements for early
forcing. Geld frames are frequently
covered with coarse cotton cloth instead
of the more expensive method of sash
and glass.

WANTS TO BE ASSIGNEE.
A Man Who Is Already Mixed Up in Iron
Hall Bank Affairs.

PHILADELPHIA, September 2.-At the
hearing today, of the application of A.
E. Stockwell for confirmation by the
court as assignee of the Mutual Banking.
Surety and Trust Company, known as
the Iron Hall bank, Assignee Stockwell
admitted being indebted to the bank on
a personal note for $1,000. He explained
that he was not liable to the bank for a
$4,000 note, made by himself as trustee
and secured by first mortgage of $19.-
600 on his property in Camden. He said
the money was loaned to parties forming
a corporation to manufacture a porce-
lain electric insulation of which the pro-
moter was J. H. Benton. The money
was placed in his hands to be turned
over to the corporation when formed.
He was aware that the property was APP
praised at only $4,000 by the Mutual
Banks appraisers, but he believed it
ample security for the amount loaned.
Mr.. Stockwell admitted that he had been
counsel for the Mutual Company for
over year, and for Cashier Hayes to
some extent during the same time. He
had also acted as counsel for the Iron
Hall in resisting two sick claims. He
denied that he was general counsel for
the Iron Hall.

New YORK, September 2.-Ex-Senator
J. Sloat Fassett. of Elmira, who has been
staying at the seashore during the sum-
mer, was at the Fifth Avenue Hotel yes
terday afternoon. Mr.. Fassett is on his
way to Maine to take in the campaign
there He will begin his work there on
Monday unless he is called upon to take
the stump earlier. Gov. Mckinley of
Ohio was expected to speak at Old
Orchard tomorrow, but he has been sud-
denly called to Ohio on account of some
difficulty in regard to extradition papers
that have been issued for horse thief.
The Maine people were telegraph
ing all day yesterday for Mr..
Fassett. Senator Fassett expects to re-
main in Maine until the close of the
state campaign there. He will speak at
Winterport, Skowhegan, Bangor and
other places within the next few days.
'tWhat do you think of Commissioner
Peck's report on the operation of the
Mckinley BILL" a Tribune reporter ask
ed the Senator yesterday afternoon.
"What do I think of it? Well, I won
der why Peck did not get Frank Rice,
the secretary of state, to handle his
figures for him, and who he did not let
Isaac II. Maynard know that he had left
the report somewhere in his office. In
that case the report would have been
juggled, or it never would have been
made public. 1t is a great Republican
document, nevertheless, and it ought to
have wonderful effect in this campaign.

around it, but I see that the calamity
howlers and the Mugwumps are making
desperate efforts to do So"

AN ENTERPRlslNo AGENT.
He Borrowed From His Employees and
Others Until He Lost His Job.


GARDINER, Me-, September 1.-The
American Express Company has been
having serious trouble with an agent in
one of the neighboring Kennebec
bezzler to the 3mount of between 5000
and $780, He began his stealings some
time last April. His method being to
collect on C. o. D. goods, put the money
in his pocket and fail to enter the trans
action upon his books. In the same man
ner he would receive money for
articles forwarded G. o. d. and keep
it, instead of paying it over to the owner.
When overhauled he was short some $400,
and this he attempted to return to the
company. In various ways, all of which,
as afterwards proved, were not exactly
business like, he raised the $4OO, and
turned it over to his employers. He was
allowed to retain the agency. But short
time had elapsed. however, when another
peculation turned up. This time check
for $214 had been sent through the ex-
press to be cashed by Hallowell party.
The agent got the money on it but in
stead of forwarding to East Livermore,
| used it to meet q portion of the $400 of
his previous embezzlement. He was
then removed from the ageucy, but re-
Gently more of his dishonesty has appear
ed. 1t was discovered that he collected
500 from lady for the company, and
kept the money; in another instance.
stole $14, and in still another, which has
come to light within week, $s. He has
succeeded in procuring money enough to
make the whole amount good, with the
exception of $40 or $50 The representa-
tive of the company looks for more losses
] to turn up.
