woman's life. A twelve-year-old boy, how
ever, who also witnessed the crime, threw
a big stone az the brute aud IL inflicted an
ugly cut behind the ear. This, however,
was the only attempt at interference.

MADRID April 5.-The police arrested
Frenchman named Devat Just as he was en-

ing. He had excited their suspicion by his
efforts 10 avoid observation and by holding
with great care a bundle under his arm.
When arrested he tried TO thrown down the
bundle but was prevented. he was taken
TO police station, where the bundle was
found 20 contain dynamite bomb with
fuse ready for lighting The Frenchman
said that he had placed a similar bomb in
the lobby entrance, but evidently the fuse
had gone out. An examination Of the lobby
resulted in the discovery Of the bomb be-
hind pillar. Each bomb contained about
six pounds Of dynamite, enough to have
wrecked the whole building
In the Frenchman's papers were found an
anarchistic proclamation containing this
statement: Everything enjoyed by the
rich is created by the labor of the poor The
wicked system Of modern society prevents
worldngmen from possessing what they pro
duce Whatever the form Of government,
the rich seize the power aud rob the poor,
and no party dares TO oppose them. As the
laws serve only 90 protect the rich in their
plundering let us help ourselves. Let US
attack the rich with all conceivable means
with fire, knife and poison. Ownership is

Plans for Destruction.
Other papers contained the details OF
plans 70 blow up with dynamite the cham
Der, the senate, the palace and the opera
house, as well as several municipal build
ings. The police think that the plots were
laid by anarchists in Paris in collnsion with
members Of the Mano Negra in Spain, and
that Devat was sent to lead in the execu.
ton, as he knew the country, yet was not
known to the police.
A Lisbon anarchist named Ferreirn was
caught lurking near the parliamentary
buildings at the time of Devats arrest and
was taken 20 the same police station. He is
thought TO be Devat's accomplice. Besides
several incendiary pacards he had a plan OF
the palace and the senate chamber The

blow up these buildings Ia accordance with
the plans of Devat.

vator. These are the implements that do
the work, each farmer paying so much per
acre for the work done II is no unusual
thing to there see the steam plow tearing
the land into pulverization to the depth
of from twelve to eighteen inches: indeed,
thorough breaking to the depth of twenty
four inches is no uncommon thing. BY
such means the German farmers make
their crops entirely sure; whereas, without
q resort to such means, they would have no
crops at ALL With such preparation the
rains go into the ground instead Of running
of to the nearest streams as II does here,
or, for that matter, anywhere else where
shallow preparation is the rule.
Let atownship of our West Texas farm
ers try this German plan, and l am ready
to vouch for it that they viii have no cause
to complain of drouths. Let them employ
only improved machinery to DO their work;
and in the case OF costly machinery, as
steam plows and the like, let them club to-
gether and make one machine fill the re-
auirements Of the township. Such course
would clearly prove to them that farming
can be made TO pay better than any other
known calling. A. RAwLIN.
Mar1enfeld, Tex.
The Germans certainly well know how
to do it. At New Braunfels,. in Comal
county. we have seen them fairly tearing
the bottom out of their lands at the prepar-
alton for crops, and we never heard any
complaint of damaging drouths there;
neither did we ever hear of any German of
that fiouushing settlement so much as
throw out hint to the effect that farming
could not be made to pay in Texas.
