RR,sToL. Tenn, June 6.-The awful
tragedy of Pound Gap, near the Letcher-
county (Ky.) line, is still fresh In the
minds of the people. Ira Mullins;
though an outlaw, was murdered IN cola
blood. The perpetrators OF the heinous
crime are about to be run down, and ere
this week draws to a close they will IN
ali probability be looking from behind
the prison bars, unless the outraged
community swings them to the nearest
limb. John Moss, the well-known Of
ficer OF Wise county. is now on the trail
He SAYS that instead OF three or four, as
was at first reported, there are about
twenty-five Of the murderers. They are
ali scouting through the country evading
the officer. They do not forget to carry
Winchesters, pistols. and Bowie'knives.
They know Moss will take them.

A REMEDY FOR CLUB ROOT IN CABBAGE.

EDITOR NATIONAL Tribune: l wish to
answer the question asked in your last issue by
Mr. L. NJ. McKelyey, GFayhsmton, Pa, in re-
gard 10 the cause Of club root in cabbage aud a
remedy for tho samB. The cause is an insect in
the ground For years tried 20 raise cabbage
in my garden, and applied all the remedies /
could to prevent what We called club-foOt cab
bagc. They were Of no avail until discovered
one myself and that is 20 put ON 4 good coat OF
ashes wood, of course) before blowing, and
another coat after plowing before setting
tho plants. The frst year see that tho ashes
are Gell mixed in the dirt around tho plant, for
this kills the insect. I.eached ashes can be
used. l have not failed in raising a good crop
of cabbage since / commenced using ashes,
which are also good fertilizer.-F. w. SLATER,

NEBRASKA.

The wheat in this section Of country never
looked better or moro promising than Ii does
now. The snow remained on the ground for
the most part Of January, aud the ground being
very damp the wheat grew right along. The
acreage is greater than for many years-in fact
we never had so much Winter wheat sown be-
fore. No good signs for calamity hoWlers hero.
