Plant More Fruit Trees.

For one person who hos planted out all
the fruit trees that he should, there are
probably half dozen who have not yet
planted one-half that they should. If you
live convenient to the railroad you should
grow fruit to ship in fresh state. If you
live considerable distance from the rail
road you should still grow plenty Of fruit
for home use and to dry. The business Of
drying fruit is a very profitable one when
properly managed. There must be more

Lucern Under Irrigation-A wonder
full Growth

The Bakersfield Californian reports the
following result in irrigating a small field Of
lucern near Delano. Three years ago, when
the alfalfa was first seeded in small field
which he has the yield was about one ton to
the acre, but it has kept on increasing until
this year the product is really marvellous.
After cutting, the alfalfa grows from
inch TO ~ inches a day, and when cutting
time comes around, it takes four horses to
pull the mower with ease. The record thus
far this season is this: April, 2 tons per acre ;
May, "a tons; June, 3 tons; July, 24 tons
August, "a tons; September, tons-a total
thus far of 1415 tons per acre, with at least
two more cuttings, and probably more, to
hear from. Its growth has been so rapid
that it is now cut every twenty days or
thereabouts There are thousands of sores
in that vicinity which if irrigated, will yield
just as well as the land in question. This
alfalfa is sold to sheepmen and others, and
brings about IS ton.

Blocked Their Game.

The Republicans of Wyoming
cooked up q nice little job to count in
a sufficient number of their candi-
dates for the Legislature to control
that body and elect the successor of
Senator Warren. But on Friday of
last week John E. Osborne, the snc-
cessful Democratic candidate for
Governor, went before Notary Pub
lie, took the oath of Office and pro
cseded TO the Governors Office and
issued proclamation to the people
calling upon them to recognize him
as the legally elected Governor.
On Saturday Amos w. Barber, who
claims to be Acting Governor, issued
9 proclamation in which he claimed
that Orborne's conduct in assuming
the powers of Governor was wholly
without warrant of law. Governor
Osborne issued counter proclama
ton to this in which he charges
that there is ample evidence of
conspiracy to count out the lawfully
elected members Of the Legislature
10 the interests Of n certain Republic
can candidate for the United States
Senate and in order for the conspiracy
to succeed Il is necessary that per-
son friendly to the scheme shall hold
the office Of Governor at the time the
canvass of the vote is made.
The people or Cheyenne, the Capt.
al, are in sympathy with Osborne in
his efforts to prevent the larceny OF
the Legislature and hundreds of
them stand ready to take up arms in
defence Of his authority.

County Official Paper.
WAR CRY OF MICHIGAN'S
SOLDIER

II learned during the civil war to
tell what section Of the country reg
iment was from by hearing it cheer"
said Col Sol Hilligoss. "Of course it
was easy to distinguish the wild
Rebel yell from the deep toned cneer
OF the Northern legions, but each of
these had we'll defined variations.
Draw a line from Boston to San
Francisco, from that city through
st. Louis to Richmond, Va, and
from the latter city to New Orleans,
and run the whole gamut of the
American battle-cry, from the deep
bass OF the far North TO the sharp
treble of the extreme South. The
war cry Of the West is a compromise
between the deep-chested Yankee
cheer and the thrilling Rebel yell. 1t
more nearly resembles the awful war
whoop of the Sioux than anything
else can think of, and is appalling in
its intensity and ferocity. The cheer
Of Maine regiment makes you think
of the old Morse sea kings. 1t rolls
and reverberates like salvo of artil-
lery. A Virginia regiment does not
cheer, it does not shrek. Its war cry
is the sharp, short terrifying growl #
the bulldog before he closes his jaws
on the throat OF an enemy. The yell
Of a Louisiana regiment strikes the
ear like the scream of panther or
the shrek of shell; but when an
Iowa or Michigan regiment gives
tongue you think that the portals CT
hell have been forced-that Lucifer
and all his attendant horrors are
loose upon the land. 1t is the incar-
nation Of ferocity, the apotheosis of
terror. -Globe-Democrat.

Rev mond for the murder OF Nine Della,

ouer is acquitted. Nine. Raymond
was fashionably dressed when she ap-
peared for trial but plainly showed the
sad effects which the, tragedy has had
upon her. She related how when she
surprised her husband and his para
mour, she saw Nine. Delaporte-Lassl:
monne sitting on bed in the room and
saw the woman look at her in an utterly
unabashed manner, as If to say: Your
husband belongs to me-" The witness
said that this exhibition OF wanton
brazeness was more than she could en-
dure and in q ft OF uncomfortable
frenzy she sprang upon the despoiier OF
her happiness and killed her.
After securing the evidence OF NJ.
Raymond, who did not once look in the
direction of his wife while giving his
testimony, the case was given to the
Jury, who acquitted Nine. Raymond OF
the charge of murder against her. The
prisoner was much affected.
The crime with which the prisoneS
was charged was committed in this
city on May 21st last, and was the re-

PARIS, July 1.-THE work of search
ing for the bodies of those who lost
their lives in the terrible disaster at ST.
Geryais Les Bains, Yesterday morning,
was continued to-day The bodies Of
those already recovered are torn and
mangled most horribly. When the
glacier slid down into the Bonnant, on
which mountain stream, the Gervais
Les Bains, is situated the current was
damned and the water rose rapidly be-
hind the huge wall Of ice. Finally the
pressure became so great that the dam
was broken and roaring, grinding and
crushing, the immense volume OF water
and tremendous masses OF ice started
down the ravine. Many Of the victims
were overtaken in their sleep and in
stantly swept into the torrent where
they were drowned and their bodies
afterwards mutilated by the floating
debris or by being crushed.
OF the fifty.seven employees in the
baths only nine were saved alive, and
seven of these are severely injured. At
the hamlet OF Bionyssy, which was
swept out of existence by the sliding
glacier, thirty-five persons were killed.
Arrangements are now being made for
the funerals, and subscriptions are be-
ing raised for the sufferers.

chester, England, arrived in Washing
ton this evening to oppose the passage
by the senate OF the free tin plate bill
commonly known as the Shively bill.
Mr.. Jarrett vigorously attacks Mr..
Shively, and says that the latter only
secured its passage in the house by mis-
representation. He says that tho argu-
ment made by Mr.. Shively was that the
tin plate manufacturers had not kept
their word to the effect that they had
promised to supply the american mar.
ket by this time il the Mckinley bill
was passed. No such promise was
made, Mr.. Jarrett states. The most
they claimed was to supply one-third
OF tho homo consumption within six
wears, which he would consider a great
Accomplishment in behalf oil home in

duction OF the Shively bill has been in-
furious to the country, as it has been
tho chief cause why moro lin plate

PARxERsBuRe, W. Va, July 19.-At
noon to-day E. Ward Clouston was put
behind the bars in the Wood county
Jail. He was not Jailed last night, but
was only left in the custody OF the
sheriff. He is at last where he has
made the mitimus in many a case for
others. He appeared before Judge
Boreman to-day, Clouston's bondsmen
having given him up, and was placed
under bond. Failing to give ball, he
was taken to Jail and ordered to receive
the same treatment as other prisoners.
He is in bad fix, and his friends, If he
has any loft, can we'll feel for him.
Meanwhile, 7. Hill Marshall and his
lost soap box are the talk of the hour
in connection with the case. Ciouston
now denies that he took the box OF pa
pers, or that he knows anything about
them. He didn't burn or destroy them,
for he didn't have them to burn, he
says.
The two poor colored men, jackson
and Webb, say they are innocent OF
any wrong doing in the matter. People
are asking, is it Democratic scheme

Gladstone Narrowly Escapes Defeat in
Midlothinu-As ickly NJ jority.
LONDON, July 13.-Considerable de-
preston was caused in the Liberal camp
by tho announcement this morning OF
the result of yesterdays election in
Midlothian, Mr.. Gladstone's constitu-
ency. 1t was known that Colonel Wau-
chope, Mr.. Gladstone's opponent, had
been working hard to reduce MIR. Glad
stones majority. Every means was
adopted by the parties to get voters to
the polls. Old men who lived too far
from the polls to walk and invalids
were taken in vehicles to all the polling
places.
As the day wore on 1t was seen by
the leaders of the Liberals that Mr..
Gladstone was losing ground and that
the Liberal Unionist candidate was
polling far heavier vote than antici-
pated. This led to redoubled efforts on
the part OF the Liberal committee, and
the result was that a heavier vote was
poiled than ever before known in the
district. The registered electors in the
Midlothian division OF Edinburghshire,
which Mr.. Gladstone has represented
in Parliament since 1880, number IL, 1856,
and the polling list shows that II 900
of them cast their ballots.
The result shows great change in
political sentimentin Midlothian. Hith-
erto the district has been looked upon
as belonging to Mr.. Gladstone, and his
canvasses have been regarded as cover
ing the entire country in the interests
of the various candidates Of the party
rather than Midlothian alone. Mr..
Gladstone's actual majority this year Is
600 votes This lisa pitiabie majority
when compared with the previous elec-
tons. In 1855 Mr.. Gladstone received
a majority Of 1851, and at the last gem
eral election OF 1885 the district was re-
garded Us such a Liberal stronghold that
the Unionists did not run candidate.
The Conservatives and Liberal
Unionists are in high glee over the re-
suit. They say that il anywhere in
Great Britain campaign Of education
has been carried on 1t has been in Mid
lothian. There Mr.. Gladstone in his
numerous addresses has explained, as
fully as he explains anything, the real
intentions Of the Liberal party. They
hold that the announcement Of to-day
shows that he has signally failed in
winning supporters to his home rule
