The USE OF FERT1L1zERs.-If
proper rotation is pursued ordi-
nary farm crops can be grown in
definitely where only mineral fer
tilizers, chiefly phosphate, are ap-
piled directly to the soil. This
rotation includes frequent appli-
cations of clover as green manure.
1t has been tried on land rich in
mineral plant food for many years
without decreasing the crop of
grain. 1t would not do for grow
ing corn, potatoes or garden vege-
tables. In all of these clover alone
is too slow a manure, but for wheat
on land rich in phosphate the
biennial clover crop has been
found sufficient.
But for the great mujority of
farmers speculations as to what
can be done with mineral manures
alone have no practical value.
They are more expensive than the
supplies of nitrogen and mineral
matter that can be made by care
full feeding of the best stock. 1t
behooves every farmer to make
accurate experiments SO as to de-
termine the cost of his stable ma
nure, and if it costs more than
mineral fertilizers to either change
his stock or place more reliance on
fertilizers with clover.

Then the violet eyes overfiowed,
and Fredrica's sobs came fast
and faster, and the mother forgot
her own pain in soothing the
child.
When she was comforted and
calm again it was time for Mrs.
IACharlton to go out; so, calling
Mrs. johnson, the one help OF the
little household, to see after the
child, she kissed her many times
. and hurried away, promising to
return early.
Agnes LeCharlton was fashion
reporter for one of the large daily
papers in the city.
She had aspirations and talents
far above this work, but that was
her main dependence; she could
not afford to give up the position
that brought the necessaries of
life while she devoted herself to
more congenial literary work,
which might not find a ready sale.
Death had divorced her from
the man whom she had welded
when but eighteen years old. He
had proven unwnrthy her love,
end had killed the last remnant
of it ere he had died, three years
before our story begins. With
what was left of her patrjmony,
and what her position on the pa
DER brought, she supported herself
and Fredrica. The deep, intense
love her little daughter bore her
was the light of her life.
Fredrica was old for her years
She was her mothers companion
except when the latter was al
her work, and sympathized with
her in everything. The stories
and sketches Agnes managed tf
write "between whiles'' were 6
source of delight to the child; the
story that returned that morning
one that really betrayed talent
was her favorite. No wonder the
little heart swelled with indigna
ton at the man who had rejected
it!
AS she thought about it afte:
her mother was gone. Fredrics
came to a sudden, bold determine

financial system and policy
of the government are greatly at
fault and have contributed largely
IN bringing on the country the
present deE P condition of
affairs. Therefore, as citizens and
farmers, while we believe it to be
our imperative duty to practice
and teach and encourage a reduc-
tion in the acreage of cotton, the
raising more largely of the cereals,
the improving of our live stock
and farms and homes, the right
practicing of economy, and the
doing of any and all other things
connected with our farms and
farm work, in order to bring to
our country a more prosperous
condition of affairs, that we at the
same time, as citizens responsible
for ourcitizenship and loving our
country and homes and fresides
as we do, feel it incumbent upon
us to teach and use our influence
in correcting all other evils detri-
mental to our interests, and espe-
cially that which we believe to be
a ruinous financial system of the
government, in the best way that
can be shown to us, and to do it
with a patriotic view and desire of
bringing happiness to every man,
woman and chi Id, to every city,
town and rural home throughout
our beautiful Sunny South, and
causing this grand Southland, this
God-given heritage of ours, "the
land of the free and the home of
the brave" to blossom as the rose
and to be filled with teeming,
smiling, happy and prosperous
population.
If the farmer don't pay taxes on
the increased value of the colt
that is called tax-dodging and ras-
cality. If the phosphate man don't
pay on the increased value of his
stock that is called "business."
When the farmer finds his mule
colt assessed at its increased value
he skirmishes around for the money
and pays his taxes without word
for he is willing to bear his pro-
portionate share of the public bur-
den. The phosphate man, how
ever, hires Haskellite lawyer and
pays him what should go to tighten

These tight times are going to
prove a blessing after all; it is
now teaching US lessons in econ
omy that will be worth much to
us in the near future. For years
and years we have gone on grow
ing more and more extravagant
each year laying up nothing for
the future, letting each year take
care of itself, going in debt for
many things that we now find
that we could have done without.
A halting.point was necessary,
and now that it has come we will
certainly be benefited by the ex-
perience. Just watch our pre-
diction, after this tight squeese is

era of prosperity that will surpass

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Feb. 16.-It is under
stood that Messrs. Simpson and Watson,
Alliance members, will attend the
meeting of the Alliance here Feb. %,
with the intention of forcing a third
ticket into the field The Southern
members of the Alliance in Washington
are understood to be opposed to the
scheme, and Simpson and Watson will
go it alone. The scheme is to induce
the meeting of the 22d at st. Louis to
adopt resolution favoring the calling
of a national convention of the Alliance.

a president and vice president.

ten reform and industrial organizations
have notified the executive committee
of the so-called third party conference
TO be held in st. Louis, beginning
Monday next, of their intention of
being officially represented. Nearly all
railroads have given one fare for the
round trip rate, and a very much larger
attendance is expected than was at first
anticipated. The total number of ap-
plications for hotel and boarding house
accommodations exceeds 5000, and tel

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The narrow escape
of the government from defeat yester-
day in the house of commons, on
Thomas SextOn's proposed amen dInent
to the address to the crown, declaring
that the imperial parliament had shown
itself unequal to the task of legislatlng
for Ireland. is the sensation of the day.
The Liberals are wild with Joy and the
Conservatives are almost dumb with
dismay. One hundred and seventy-nine to
15S were the figures which defeated Mr..
SeXton'S amendment, and the air this
morning is full of rumors of approach
ing dissolution. The Conservatives, it
is admitted, even in their own ranks,
are badly demoraliZed party, and they
will go into the battle of the general
election with almost certain defeat star
ing them in the face. On the other
hand, the Liberals will strip for the
fight with an almost certain victory as
Sured them, and they are just itching TO
be up and doing. Nothing short of a
miracle or complications with some for
eign power can now save the Tories
from an utterly crushing defeat.
The Conservative press is groaning
with agony. The Times reproaches the
government whips for 'allowlng'' the
majority to fall so low and intimates
that this state of affairs is likely to dis
courage the UniOniStS; but those who
saw behind the scenes last night say
that the government whips strained
every nerve, using the strongest threats
possible. that of refusing the party sup
port at the coming election, without be-
ing able to muster more than179 10 vote

DENVER, COL, Feb. 16.-Gov. Boies'
failure to mention silver in his speech
at the Greystone banquet here short
time ago has been severely criticised
In many quarters, and has caused much
comment. A dispatch is alleged to have
come from Gov. Boies' home, Des
Moines, TO-, last night, saying that the
governor was not TO blame for ignoring
it. and that he was requested by a COM
mittee from Denver not to touch upon
the subject.
The item gives as a reason for this re-
quest that Boies, who is we'll known
silver supporter, wished to gain Eastern
patronage by apparently taking a posi-
tion against silver, while it would be
understood by the Western Democrats
that he was in reality strong believer

on the matter if he desired 70.

with the Democratic association. He
thought this Should be considered at the
meeting of the executive committee of
the North Star ASSOCIATION to be held in
Minneapolis today.
Mr.. Lawler also opposed the Moody
resolutions. He thought 1t would be

was in progress to secure the cOnSOllda-

mittee and the party be accepted and placed
on file with the secretary of this committee.
and that we recommend that members of
said North Star association be welcomed to
the Democratic association. i'll accordance
with the rules and regulations thereof.
To this Mr.. Moody made very vigor-

Bowen. of Duluth; Senator Mayo, of
Rochester; G. l.. Baxter, of Perham,
and ex-County Attorney F. w. Lyon, of

Mayor Winston first spoke, calling the
attention of The committee to the
fact that the North Star assocla-
tion had adopted resolution in
structing the committee to confer
with the state central committee
and arrange to work in conjunction
with the state organization. He said
that he was present to state that the
North Star association is ready to act

that the North Star association can
readily be brought into conjunction

Durant, of Saltwater, also assured the
committee of the fealty Of the North

committee. The association recognized
the authority of the state central COM
mittee to direct the efforts for organiZa-
ton as being the central power of the
party. The North Star association
now has forty clubs, with membership
of nearly 5000, and it is theis Vish to

of the committee be returned to the del
egateS Of the North Star association for
the interest the members had manifest
ed in the political work of the party.
Chairman Campbell opposed this, say
ing that it was not yet apparent that
any thanks were due the North Star as
sociation. The resolution under which
this committee was acting had been
adopted at meeting held in
June. 1890, and this was the first effort
that had been made to fulfil the task,
while the work of organizing clubs had
been going actively on all over the state

Campbell asserted, had been rather to
ize it.
Mr.. Schafer's motion not having re-

Mr.. Moody offered the following:
Whereas, The North Star Association Of

GOLDBERG A FIREBUG.
A Bad Man Nabbed by the Winona
Police

WINoNA, Minn., Feb. 16.-The most
daring act of incendiarism ever at
tempted in this city was perpetrated
last night by NJ. Goldberg, a Jew. and
proprietor of The Fair store. A system
of barrels filled with straw and sat
urated with Oil and connected with
wicking, also dipped in oil and reaching
around the store, was set on fire by
Goldberg with the intention of burning
up his entire stock of goods. A police
man saw the fire soon after it started
and turned IN an alaIm. Goldberg saw
he was caught and fled, but the officers
pursued and caught him, placing him
in jail. The store is located in the
heart of the business portion of the
city. and a fire would have done many
thousands of dollars of damage. The
attempt was the most daring ever seen
here, and the store was visited by hun
dreds of business men today, who
viewed the fire trap. as yet unmoved.
Evidence was taken for the prosecution.
Goldberg did the same thing at La
