A PROFITABLE CROP.
a Hint to the Progressive Farmer of This
and Adjoining Counties.


Why do not the farmers Of Ben
ton county grow more beans? That
it is a profitable crop, under proper
conditions, has been amply shown
by the success of the farmers of
central New York, who have been
making a speciality of it for many
years. Although the crop can be
grown throughout almost our en-
tire extent Of territory, yet we i'm
ported last year nearly 81 ,O00,O 900
worth. If the farmers of West
Tennessee would put in enough
land to make good the deficiency
in our home supply, and to afford
some slight surplus also for export
Mexico and South America being
large consumers it would with
draw say 100000 acres from other
crops, which would in time have
the effect Of stimulating the prices
of other products, the supply of
which would be thus decreased.

WILD LIFE OF THE WEST.
Rustlers and Cattlemen Carrying on Dead
g. ly Warfare.

Rustlers and Cattlemen Carrying on Dead
Iy Warfare.
BUFFALO, WYo., April 13.-The strife
between the rastlers and the cattlemen
is war to the death. For several days
there have been reports of at
tacks on ranches held by tie
rustlers. Now the particulars of
fight at the I. A. ranch have just been
received. The first information In Buf-
falo of the intended invasion by the cattle
nj en- was a letter received from Douglas
by Sheriff Angus of johnson county, say
ing that a special train of armed and
mouted men had pafsed through Doug
las, unloading at Casper. The informa-
ton was soon circulated among the rust
lers and small cattlemen, but they had
little time to prepare to defend them
selves, for the invaders arrived soon af-
ter and commenced operations
by at once attacking what is known as
the K. G. ranch, in which men suspected
of being rustlers were living. Early on
the morning of April 10 q ranchman
named Smithy, living on the north fork
of Powder river, heard firing at that
ranch. He rode rapidly in that direction
and discovered that the invading cattle
men had the house surrounded and that
desperate fight was going on between
them and the inmates. He at once rode
to Crazy Woman and started half dozen
men to the rescue, after which he got
fresh horse and came to Buffalo. Here
he informed Sheriff Angus of the fight,
and the latter Immediately gathered a
posse and started for the K. G. ranch,
where the battle had been fought, arriv-
ing there about daylight ON the morning
of April II. The cattlemen, however,
had done their work and left, for when
the rescuing party reached the K. c.
ranch they found the house burned and
the dead bodies of the inmates, who
were discovered to be Nate Champion
and Dick Ray, half burned in the ruins.
The cattlemen then started toward
Buffalo, and the rustlers organized and
went forth to meet them. The cattle
men learned of the advance of the rust
lers and took shelter in the T. A. ranch,
13 miles from Buffalo. About o'clock
Monday morning, the rustlers reached
the ranch and surrounded the invaders,
and at daylight the latter opened fire up
on the besiegers. Shots were exchanged
all day long, but the number of killed
and injured cannot at present be learned.
The cattlemen, with their horses, are
safely barricaded inside the ranch build
ings, but one of them escaped through
the attacking party, presumably on the
way for reinfOrcementS. The results of
the days battle at the T. A. ranch are 10
yet unknown.

VIII Leave the Shakers.

ALFRED, April 13.-It is stated that
James H. Pender and his sister Lettie
have left the Shaker settlement, with the
intention of severing their connection
with it. Mr.. Pender stood next to Elder
Vance in the community, being the sec
ond trustee, and had charge Of all
of the real estate. He was, a
short time ago, elected president of
the Springfield Creamery Association.
No man in community will be more
missed than he. The only reason given
for his withdrawal is that he will marry,
and in order to do this he must renounce
Shakerism.

ENDORSED CLEVELAND.
But All was Not Peaceful Among the
Pennsylvania Democrats.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 13-The Dem
ocratic State Convention was held here
today. Congressman Biltzhoover, tenn
porary chairman, in his speech paid a
glowing tribute to ex-President Cleve-
land. The speakers references to Cleve-
land and Governor Pattison were receiv-
ed with cheers long continued. One in
diyidual in the gallery shouted, HWhat's
the matter with Hill?'' but only groans
and Kisses followed the mention of the
name of the New York Democratic lead
er.
This afternoon the anti administration
lists to the number of IA left the meeting
room, owing to the action of the majori-
ty in seating representative from the
43d senatorial district. The committee
on credentials seated all the administra-
ton delegates and ignored the claims of
the 'santis.'' The minority report stated
that no statement on behalf of the con-
testants had been allowed, and declared
the contested seats vacant. The minori-
ty report was defeated, and the regular
report adopted.
The platform pledges the fealty of the
party to the principles declared by the il
1ustrious founders of the party and ex-
emplifed by Jefferson, jackson, Tilden
and Cleveland, 1t declares for economy
of local self government, honest money,
genuine civil service reform, liberal but
not reckless pensions and the abatement
of useless taxation. 1t demands reform
of the tariff laws, declaring that the Nc
Kinley bill ought to be repealed. 1t en-
dorses Governor Pattisox and strongly
favors the nomination Of Grover Cleye-
land as president. 1t directs the dele
gates to act as unit, the action to be
determined by vote of the majority of
the deletates.
Delegates to the national convention
and Presidential electors were chosen.

and is Now Besieged in Its sTurn-Regular
Troops Called Out.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-A telegram
was received at the War Department this
afternoon from Brigadier General Brooke
at Omaha, Neb., transmitting this tele-
gram from Col. J. J. Van Horn, Of the
sth Infantry, Fort Mckinley, Wyo.:
''Your telegram Of this date, referring to
the President S order to furnish sufii-
cient force to cooperate with the Cover
nor in suppressing the disorder, has just
been received. Three troops of cavalry
will soon start for T. A. ranch, the scend
of the disturbance, About 80 men
known as regulators and supposed to be
in the employ of the large cattle OWNERS
left the vicinity of Casper about the 9Th
inst. and proceeded to a point on the
north fork of the Powder river, go miles
from the Post known as K. C. ranch,
where ON the 9th they killed two men
and burned the ranch. This body of
men are now as I. G. ranch, about 16
miles from the Post, ON the north fork of
the Crazy Woman, where they
are strongly entrenched and defending
themselves against sheriff's posse COM
itatus, who have them surrounded. The
wagons owned by the regulators were
captured by the sheriffs posse. They
contained ammunition, dynamite and
personal baggage. One Of the teamsters
says the expedition is .officered by Major
Wolcott, Frank Canton and Fred Hesse.
The entire country is aroused by the
killing at K. c. ranch, and some of the
best citizens are in the posse"
The cause of the trouble in Wyoming
seems to have been in the first place dep
relations alleged to have been commit
ted by class of men called rustlers up
on the cattle of the large owners. 1t was
to prevent round ups by the rustlers that
the armed expedition against them was
undertaken, 81 cattle owners being said
to have aided the formation. Col. Van
Horns despatch indicates that this re-
sort to armed force by the cattle men
has not won the sympathy of law abid-
ing citizens who take the part of the
ruStlerS.

NOT FOR MODERN WARFARE
Antiquated Weapon Used Against the
New Navy.
OBJECTOR HOLMAN. BEATEN In A
PARLIAMENTARY BATTLE.

Maine Members in the Fray-One Adds to
the Objector's Alarm by Proposing
More Ships-The Senate Asked to Con-
tinue Existing Chinese Laws--Mr.
Dawes Denies a Story About the In
dians-The Raum Investigation.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The House
today went into committee of the whole
on the naval appropriation bill. There
was no obstruction to the easy progress
of the bill until the item for the increase
of the navy was reached. Then Mr.. .Hol-
man of Indiana raised point of order
against the clause authorizing the Presi-
dent to have constructed by contract one
armored cruiser of about 5000 tons dis
placement, of the general type of the
New York, to cost, exclusive of arma-
ment, not more than So, 100000.
Messrs. Boutelle and Dingley of Maine
and Herbert of Alabama argued that the
point was not well taken. They cited
decisions made by Speaker Carlisle and
by chairmen Cox, McCreary, Wellborn
and Butterworth on the same point, in
which they held that such point could
not be sustained. 1t had been held, they
contended, for 20 years that PROPOSE
ton to increase the navy was in contlnu-
alton of existing work, and therefore in
order.
After debate, the Chair said if the
question was an original one, he should
be Inclined to regard the point as well
taken under the provisions of rule q.
But as analogous questions were decided
in former congresses, the Chair was con-
strained to overrule the point of order.
Mr.. Holman then moved to strike out
the appropriation for the new cruiser.
Mr.. Boutelle of Maine moved to amend
the paragraph for the increase of the ma
Wy by providing for two fast, sea-going,
coast line-of- -battleships of displace-
ment of about 10000 tons, at cost not
exceeding $4,OoO,O00 each. Pending ac-
ton, the committee rose and the House
adjourned.

flee, who made the affidavit that in 1888,
under Gen. Black, the call slips OF Maj
niger and 81 sher, with Representative
Cooper signature attached became SO
numerous that they were thrown in the
waste basket, testified that the affidavit
should be modified so as to apply to
Commissioner Tanner in 1889, and not
to Commissioner Black. Mr. Gitt testi-
fed that towards the close of Gen.
Blacks administration, the congressional
calls gave such trouble that Gen. Black
issued a general order directing that no
attention be paid to congressional slips
where they were signed by some one
other than the member himself.
Mr.. Gitt gave it as his opinion that the
congressional privilege had grown to a
great abuse. He thought, however,
there was little prospect Of it's discontin-
uance as the soldiers thought their Con-
gressmen should interest themselves in
their claims.

ever since MI. Cooper's election to Con-

departmental matters and Mr.. Cooper
had attended to them for him without
compensation being offered except as
concerned $25 the witness had sent to
Mr.. Hersey through Mr.. Cooper which
Mr.. Cooper returned at once. An i'm
portant admission was obtained from the
witness by Mr. Enloe, the witness ac-
knowledging he had written the letter
enclosing the $25 to Mr.. Cooper at the
suggestion of Special Examiner Green
walt, of the pension office, whom Com
missioner Raum had sent out to investi-
gate the matter. Mr. Greenwalt said the
Office suspected that Hersey was calling
up cases under Mr.. Cooper's name, with
his knowledge, and selling the informa-
tion and that Mr.. Cooper was party to
