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
sulphide, 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
smut.

THE poll by the St Louis Republic Of
the 1913 members OF the Illinois assembly
who, on the final ballot for United St,tes
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
a majority. and the vote is lsree enough
and decisive enough in its character to
indicate the controlling sentiment of the
body. The vote. TOO. is representative
in its 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:

Raised Flower Beds.

Raised beds, as rule, are not admis-

hon 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

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, 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, Cal ..ry creeper, HUI
mulus japonicus and Cobaa scandens
ranking among the best on account of
their rapid growth. If, however, the
first planting of such bed is to be per-

AT the urgent solicitation of his friend,

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
rame 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 opposi-
ton in the convention, as the democratic
leaders and the papers of this state sp-
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.,
itor 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
. 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
dered material services to the party. and

No. 10 Monroe street, Hoboken, toppled
over at noon today and seriously injured
Fred Mackenzie one of the workmen.
who died afterward at st. Mary's Hos
pital.
The house, which is an old. weather
beaten building, was being raised prepar-
atory to being repaired and refitted. The
screws were put under it sometime last
week. and this morning early the men
began the work of raising it. All morn
ing they worked surrounded by crowd
of watchers. mostly children, from the
neighborhood.
At twelve O'Clock, just as the men be-
gan preparing TO leave for dinner little
boy shouted Look out; she's falling"
Then the Mortified spectators saw the
structure slowly settling to one side. AT
once the cry was repeated LOOK
out, the house is falling. The children
and men in the streets scampered away
from the toppling building and the men
coats and dinner cans, which were IN
the place and then, when all
seemed out, the house continued
settled on one side as il it's supports were
sinking into the ground until at last. the
balance being lost, 1T toppled over en-.
tirely and fell with loud crash into the
empty lot at the side of st. Joseph's s
Church.

AT first it was thought that no one was
injured, but means from the place con,
vinced Sergeant Tanning, who twas near,
that all was not right, and hurried
search in the fallen structure was made,
and Fred Hackenberg, one of the iaborers,
was found lying in one of the rooms In
the lower story unconscious. The ambu-
lance could not be had as 1t was up at the
Court House with prisoners, and so Ser
geant Tanning hurried out and impound-
ed the first vehicle handy, which was one
of John Mullins furniture trucks, upon
which the unfortunate HackenberR was
taken to the police station.
DR.. Simon pronounced his internal IN
juries serious aud sent him to st. Mary 8

ported.
A THOROUGH WRECK.
The house Is a pretty thorough wreck.
The side is knocked in, the windows are
all smashed, and it is entirely useless as a
structure now. The financial damage Is
not great, as the house was old and
empty and q mere she'll.
The men about the building would give
no information about the accident, and
the cause of the catastrophe is given as a
broken jack screw.
No arrests have been made for criminal
carelessness, and it Is as vet impossible to

MISSING ] Ohm Il. DOYLE
His Body Found in Newark

Interest in Bay
01l1le.

Yesterday morning the body of John
Fl. Doyle, of No. 12O West Fifth street.
Bayonne. who disappeared on February
20, was found near the Newark Bay
drawbridge OF the Central Railroad
Doyle had served on the petit jury of the
February term, and on the Gay he dis
appeared had drawn his money for jury
service and started tor home. He TOOK
the horse car, after reaching Bergen
Point by train, aud, the driver stated.
alighted at Avenue G and Fifth street.
which was the nearest point to his home.
That was the last seen of him alive
The theory of murder was advanced by
his family. and the police made every
effort to trace two men whom the driver
had noticed when Doyle left the car, and
who endeavored to hire boatman to row
them them to Staten Island later in the
evening. The boatmen refused and they
walked up the shore.
NO trace could be found of the men or
Doyle, and as weeks passed his family
gave up all hopes of finding even his body.
he was ber of several organizations
ID Bayonne, who would pay no insurance
unless proof of death was established,
and reward was offered for any Inform
alton. but with no avail. The west side
OF the bridge Is in Union county, and the
body was taken in charge by the Eliza
beth police. The body was badly decom-
posed. A summons to serve on the jury
bearing Doyle's name, was found in a
pocket. and was the first clue to his iden-
tity. The remains will be taken to Bay
onne today for interment. No marks OF
violence could be found owing to the state
of the body. Mr.. Doyle's eldest son Is on
the police force in New York. He wss
fifty-four years of age, and conspicuous
figure In Bayonne, where he had resided
for years.
