PopuiIs,s Take a New Tack.

BTRMIEGHAH, ALA, October 1.-THE
Populists have taken new tack in their
effort to get recognition in the appoint
meut Of election managers in Bullock
county About ten days ago they had the
Probate Judge and clerk arrested for APP
pointing Republicans instead Of Populists
to represent the opposition to the Dem
ocracy. At Huntsville they have now filed
an appeal application before Judge Bruce,
OF the United States Court, praying that
the appointing board Of Bullock county be
required TO vacate the appointments here
tofore made in certain precincts, alleging
that in some precincts the Peoples party
has no representatives and that in others
the managers are democrats. Judge Bruce
set next Saturday for hearing of the
application for mandamus and cited the
defendant official 70 appear at that time.

Fk1gMoNr, W. VA, October 17.-Short!y
after two O'Clock this afternoon IRE broke
out in the third story Of the BarnsvlIe
Wooden Mill, located one mile northeast
Of here. and although discovered at once,
the large stock of manufactured goods,
consisting of fannels, yarns, etc, and
machinery, and building were consumed
with the exception Of some stock and
several valuable machines located on the
first floor.
The loss will be about 1000, insured in
tue Nichols Agency of this place for % ,OOO;
The company is composed principally OF
Fairmont business men.
The mill was burned about five years
ago, after which it was rehtted with the
latest machinery. The -four mill about
20 feet distant was saved by hard work
through the efforts Of the West Fairmont
Shaft force Fairrlout citizens and mum
Der of active schoolboys. II is thought
that the company will not rebuild, as the
bulk of this seasons trade will be over
before they can get ready for business.

passed two hours calling on friends and
bidding them an aifectonate farewell, say

O'Clock In the evening he proceeded to the
residence of his father, George Layne, and
called him out IN the yard. He stood some
moments before his father and then sud

placed it to his right temple and fired. He
fell forward into the arms Of his agonized
parent, whose shrieks aroused the neigh

MIR. BLAINE AT OPHIR FARM

The "PIumed Knight" has finally
been dragooned into making speech
for the Republican party-for Harrison
and, strange to say, he.made it at the
home OF his ancient enemy, WHITELAw
REID, who in September, 1872, said Of
his present guest:
Mr.. Blaine's record in railway matters
grows darker as it is examined. 1t may be
nobody's business how he has become a
millionaire on conSreSsmau'S pay but 1t
is the business of his constituents and the
country 10 know how the Speaker Of the
House of Representatives came into this
rich railway speculation.
1t was a foul accusation that WHITE
LAW REID made against Mr.. BLAINE.
The circumstances of the case have
never been explained. Mr.. BLAINE is
now Mr.. Reds guest.
Politics makes strange bed-fellows.

a STUDY OF RooTs.
The Habits OF Garden Plants Investigated
by Scientists

~ aLAEAAAsA1s
An interesting investigation Of the
root habits Of certain garden plants
was made at the Geneva station by
digging a deep trench alongside Of
each specimen TO be examined, and
then gradually and guardedIy washing
the earth away by a spray of water
through hose.
The following result appeared in the
case Of the Eclipse beet, one of the tur-
nip-rooted class, which grows largely
above ground:
The tap-root was traced nearly two
feet. Branches started out from this
at intervals during its entire length
no roots appeared above the tap-root.
The branches were traced distance Of
two feet horizontally from the tap
root. The hbrous roots were very ten
der and delicate, and though not very
numerous, extended over an area of
about twelve square feet. They often
extended upward from the branches,
and in some cases appeared to reach the
surface of the soil
The root system of the carrot, either
in long or short varieties, is compare
lively small The tap-root soon Ia
pered into a mere flament, which ex-
tended downward but about sixteen
inches
The horizontal roots seemed to ex-
tend little more than a foot The
fbrous roots started chiefly from the
tap-root, though a few had their orisin
near the base Of the fleshy root. These
extended both deep and shallow, some
reaching the surface of the ground and
others sinking into the soil as deep as
the tap-root
Onion roots are more concen trated
than those OF most other crops raised
in the garden. They extend about ten
inches in depth and about the same dis
tance horizontally.
The greater part Of the roots seemed
to be beneath circle of eight inches
in diameter, the stem of the plant be
ing in the center There is no tap
root. The roots that start out from
the base of the bulb are very numer-
GUS, and these give rise to very many
branches
The latter, however, do not subdi-
vide, and are usually quite short.
In the case of an early cabbage
which showed decidedly less extern
sive system than caulifIower-the roots
were traced to depth of about twenty
inches and p i4stance of eighteen inches
on eithc. side. The main root was
quito thick for distance of about six
inches, below which it divided into
many roots which tapered for short
distance and then became fibrous, ceas-
ing TO taper
The fbrous roots in the upper layers
of the soil were not numerous, and
some appeared at a considerable depth
Such studies as these are of practical
value to the farmer, and serve to show
the Importance of rich and well cult
waited soil, sub-soiled, for root crops, or
Of planting in a soil that is easily pene
trated to a considerable depth by roots.
Andrew II. Ward, in Boston Globe.
