INTERESTING BULLETIN TO BE IS
SUED SHORTLY.
EXPERIMENTS MADE nv THE AG'RI-
CULTURAL, STATION IN nERKE-
Ley AND ELSEWHERE.

WHEELING, August l6,--Col. p, p.
johnson of the State Agricultural Sta
ton at the State University, arrived
in the city yesterday on his way back
to Morgantown after an exhaustive
study Of the wheat growing interests
Of certain localities OF the State, The
result of the Colonel's observations
and experiences win be embodied in
bulletin which will shortly be issued
from the Agricultural Station. To
q reporter he said
.'0ur experiments have been in the
direction of improving the yield of
wheat by the use Of fertilizers, and the
experiments have been Of a very salts
factory and interesting nature. The
State, under provisions Of the recent
law, rented several acres Of land in
Berkeley, Gpshur, Wood and Jackson
counties, and has there been making
experiments. The result will be work
ed out, and viii be published in q bull
letin for the information Of the farmers
of the State. One thing has been
pretty conclusively shown, and that is i
the figures given are correct. Roane
county farmers had better use their
land for something else than wheat.
One mans yield only averaged -four
bushels to the acre. He went to work
and, by using nine dollars worth Of
fertilizers to the acre, he got the yield
up to thirteen bushels. That dom
pay, Of course. II is case Of wonder
derful Improvement at ruinous cost
One Of the best yields Of wheat report
ed was by Mr.. Clark, who plante'
twenty acres on the river bottom jus
below New Martinsville, in Wetzt
county. Two or three acres didn't d
well, but off the remainder we got ii
hundred bushels, or an average o
thirty bushels to the acre. The yiel,
Of the Garden farm, Aye hundred an,
two bushels on twenty-three acres o
land, is fine crop. The New Ma,
tinsville yield was grown on gronn
newly cleared, and where all the con
ditions were favorable, but othe
farmers have done nearly as well. J"

THEY MAY STRIK E.

PITTsBURG, Pa, August 16.--About
thirty Baltimore and Ohio telegrap1,ers,
members of the Order of Railway Tele
graphers, met i'd this city yesterday
and will be in session for three days.
the principal objects being to formu-
late new schedule of salaries and re-
arrangement of railroad telegraphers'
working hours, the schedule TO be sub
mitted to the general order when it
assemblies in national convention in
the latter part of September. The
only point determined as vet is that
the minmua salary, shall be $50 per
month. The present rate is about /
cent an hour more than section hands
are paid, and when the responsibility
of the operators work is compared with
that Of the section hands the difference
is regarded as being absurd. The
Order of Railway Photographers has no
special grievance against the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad and the re-
quest for better wages and less hours
of services viii subsequently be made
to all the railroads in Narth America.

POSTAL LAW ABUSE.
One Kind of Postal Law for Democrats
And Ansaher Kind fsr Republicans.

One Kind of Postal Law for Democrats
And Aneaher Kind fer Republicans.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Aag. TO-
The State of West Virginia is being
flooded with an alleged supplimeeft
called g Reciprocity and Protection, :"
which is being given circulation form
ed in Republican local papers as a sup
plement.
. Reciprocity and Protection claims
to he regularly issued newspaper,
entered as second class matter in New
York city at the post office of that city.
1t also claims to have regular sub
seription price Of one cent per number.
The alleged newspaper contains a few
advertisements, but is made up of
Republican political matter. At least
one of the papers circulating in West
Virginia which have been sending out
this campaign literature for the Ad-
ADMINISTRATION, is,owned, edited and pub
lished by Postmaster in an adjoining
town in Ohio. No Postmaster has had
the courage, honesty and integrity to
put a stop to the circulation of this
campaign stuff at regular newspaper
rates, but when n Democratic neEspa-
per was offered at the Postotficein this
place containing the New York World
supplement, which contains no.adyer-
tisements. it was refused admission to
the United States mails at pound rates,
by the Postmaster heie. When the
Reciprocity, aud Protection paper was
shown him he admitted it was unlaw-
full to send it through the mails at
regular newspaper rates. but he will
not look up the paper which sends it
out, although he knows well enough
and has been informed that it is being
done daily, and doubtless knows that
one of the editors is postmaster him
self. for fear Of the displeasure of
.
Wannamaker and Harrison. Accord.
ing to this postmaster, who it IS to be
presumed is authority, the postoffees
of West Virginia and the machinery Of
the Government is being daily prosti-
tinted, and the laws daily violated in
the interest Of Harrison. By his action
81 -.
this postmaster virtually says that
there is one kindofpostallawfor Demo-
Gratis and another sort for Republicans.
This is one of the most outrageous
abuses of the postal laws conceivable,
but it would appear from the recent
interference in National aud State Con-.
yentions By the officeholders and the
limited States Marshals and their depu
t;es that the machinery Of federal
courts which are in the hands of such
men would only be used to protect and
defend the violations instead Of pun
;shing them, and that an appeal to the
statutes would be useless. y

Queer stories About its Introduction into
Russia and England.

When potatoes were first introduced
into Russia by Mr.. Rowland che
exact date of the introduction Of tho
tuber into that henighted country be-
ing subject of controversy, but us
ually set down at lT9D the people
would neither plant nor touch them.
They declared them to be the devils
fruit, and that they were given TO His
Satanic Majesty on his complaint to
God that he had no fruit. God told
him to "seareh the earth for food .
Whereupon he fell to digging in the
earth and found potatoes growing
therein.
A similar legend seems to have OBJ
tanned credit among the staid British,
ers in Bcrwickshire, England. In that
shire the introduction of potatoes is
popularity attributed to Sir Michael
Scott, once known all over Britain as
1.-THE Wizard Of the North Z Accord.
ing to the story, Michael and the devil
formed copartnership and took the
lease Of farm on the Mertown estates,
called the "Whitehousc. Michael
was to manage the farm; the devil the
the capital; the produce was to be di-
vidcd in the following manner;
The first year Michael was TO have
all that grew above the ground and the
devil all that grew beneath the surface.
The second year shares were to be dr.
yided in just the opposite way His
Satanic Majesty, strange to say, was
badly beaten by the willy Michael, for
that parsonage, with true Scottish force
sight, sowed all the land TO wheat the
first year and planted all In potatoes
the second. So the poor devil got
nothing but stnbble and potato tops.
How these absurd legends originated
on one seems to know, but the fact re-
mains that the peasants Of Russia and
England even to this day frequently
allude to potatoes as Devils Fruit. /"

ing Highlanders in bright Scotch
plaids, with battle axes and spears.
Mrs. Jenkins began her work eight
years ago. II is said that the shading

BUFFALO STRIKERS.
THEY RESORT 10 EVERY FORM OF
LAWLESSSESS.
LOADED FREIGHT CARS BURNED
RY HUNDREDs-P.i PASSENGERS
HELD Up.

BUFFALO, Aug. l6. -Thestrike Of the
switehmen on the Erie, Buffalo Creek,
and Lehigh Valley railroads, which is
equivalent to the combined Reading
system in this part of the country, is
no longer simple demand by body
of organized workingmen. II has
grown from that to a reign of terror,
aud acts Of criminal lawlessness are Of
hourly occurrence.
The mail trains out Of Buffalo on
the Erie have been stalled, and are
lying this side of the burned cars IN
the Lehigh yards at William Street.
The tracks are so badly warped that
the trains cannot get over them. The
mails will be transferred to other roads.
This places more serious aspect on
the strike, and the Government has
been notified
Freight trains and passenger trains
have been thrown from the tracks,
switchmen's houses have been burned,
coal trains have been started down the
immense trestle of the Lehigh and
Reading roads and have been crushed
at the bottom of the incline into a
twisted and broken mass and for two
nights the eastern sky has been blood
red with the glare Of incendiary fires,
and hundreds of freight and refrigera-
tor cars have been destroyed by the
torch of the firc-bug.
Every passenger train which has
come into the city over the lines affect.
ed by the strike has been held up by
the strikers, and the passengers sub
jected to searching scrutiny. They
have been asked where they came from
and where they were going. If on,
looked at all like nottingham he wa,
made to give full and complete &C
SQUIRT Of himself.
