Sowing Oats.

How to grow a maximum crop of
oats on land rich enough to produce a
big crop of corn is still conundrum
perplexing to the minds of manv
readers, including the writing hereof.
says the editor of Farmers Review.
We cannot afford to lei the land down
in fertility BY successive crops of corn
so as to make it poor enough to raise
crop of oats. The rich soil raises
a heavy growth of straw and down it
goes when the first heavy rain or wind
comes Result light crop of grain
and twisted mass of straw, difficult
and expensive to harvest Now. both
good crop Of straw and maximum
crop of grain is absolutely necessary
in cultivation on farms where stock is
kept to consume all the crops. Where
the grain is sold off cheap land, the
owner as rule. cares little for a good
crop of straw; but where it is a desid-
eratum how can it be obtained9
Practice differs very considerably as
regards Bthis subject Perhaps the
most common method of oat cultiva-
tion is to take several crops Of corn
off the same land and then cultivate
the oats in on the fiat with corn
cultivators and seed the field down to
clover and timothy at the same time.
The farmers that follow this plan say
that oats must be got in deep to do
we'll and they do succeed in growing
q pretty good crop of oats There
are however. at least two objections
to this plan: |. The soil has been
allowed to go too long without a grass
crop, for clover does best on rich soil
and makes such soil much richer. thus
enabling the man who manures for
clover to keep up and even improve
the fertility of his farm. 2. The soil

Immense Salaries Paid Ofcials of the

HURON S. D., Special, April
30. - The examination of Alliance
Hail association, which was refused
certificate of authority by Auditor
Taylor on account of mismanaye-
ment and unjust discrimination in the set
tlement of losses, shows wonderful state of
affairs. AS to amounts paid out to officers
directors, etc., the following are few SAM
pies: The amount OF $10,931.35 paid to S.
u. Cooley as secretary is meagre compared
with the sum of over ST., 600 paid to Alonzo
Wardall as president. The record says
that Mr.. Wardall drew from Fidelity

$l2, 324. A; from Alliance dues S243. SO;
total $l7. 334. Ii for five years "services' as

DEFINING TO DIE.
The Notorious Wife Murderer
Found Guilty by a Jury in
Melbourne.
HE is Roasted by the Judge and
Then Sentenced to Be
Hanged. "

MELBOURNE, May 3.-The trial of Deem
Tns for the murder of his late wife, former
ly Miss Mather of Rain Hill, ended to-day
with verdict Of guilty. and he was
sentenced 10 be hanged. -
Deeming turned white and trembled
when the judge turned toward him and
passed upon him the sentence OF death.
The judge said that in all his experience
with criminals he had never seen such a
consummate wretch as the prisoner. He
spoke Of Deeming's shameless effrontery
during the trial, and remarked that the
jury ad rightfully ignored the prisoners
clownish attempts to prove himself ire
sponsible. AS the judge pronounced the
words, ito be hanged by the neck until
dead" Deeming gasped and toltered, but
recovered himself enough to nod with as
sumed indifference. He then sank back in
his seat. The audience in the court room
applauded the verdict and sentence. Deem
ing was then taken back to prisou.
The crown counsel contended that there
was not particle of evidence of the in
sanity Of the prisoner, and he said that the
jnry ought to dismiss all such nonsense
from their minds. At this point Deeming
interrupted the crown counsel. 1t was not
the law. he said, but the press that was try
ing him. If he could bring himself to be-
lieve he had committed murder, he would
plead guilty rather than submit to the gaze
ofthe crowd IN the court room, the ugliest
race he had ever seen. Some of the wit
nesses against him had deliberately lied.
Whatever he could say would be disbe-
lieyed. His witnesses had been kept out Of
the way People had sworn to seeing him
where he had never been in his life. No
time had been allowed him to communi-
cate with his witnesses i'll England and
India. For weeks together he had suffered
lapses Of memory. In his own mind he
knew he was not guilty.

The Chief Clerk Mentioned for the Posi-

WASHINGTON, Special. May 3.-Col.
Charles w. johnson, chief clerk OF the
United States senate. will probably be made
secretary Of the Republican national con-
vention at Minneapolis. He has already
received such recommendations from men,
bers Of the national committee as will prob
ably secure for HIM this place. Members
ofthe committee who have already written
and assured him Of their support are
Payne Of Wisconsin. Clayton of Ar
Kansas, Conger of Oh1o HYDE of Mas
sachusetts, Brady of Virginia. Fess-
enden of Connecticut, Evans of Minnesota
Hooker OF Vermont, Cheney of New Hamr-
shire and PinchbacS of Louisiana. Be-
sides these he has received cordial assur-
ances rom tour members of the national
committee who are mem bers of the United
States senate. as we'll as the Republican
senators 10 whom he has spoken on the
are in favor Of his selection Tor the place
and are doing what they can for him.
Aside from the national committee and
senatorial endorsements, the following
from Maj. Mckinley, who heads the Ohio
delee alton, is significant:
Oeply 70 your IaVOr OF Il prl 70, beg to saw
that think your se:ection for secretary OF the
convention would be all admirable one, and
WOULD be glad to render you any service can in
that direction. .'ll
IN Jo11SsoN's FAVOR.
One Of the reasons why Col. Johnson
would be we'll fitted for the position is his
wide acquaintance with public men and
his valuable knowledge OF all parliament
ary affairs and situations. He would be of
great assistance to the epresiding officer, both
because he weuld know at sight every prom
inent man in the convention. and beinp
1amentary way on any occasion that might
arse instantly without any consultation or
consideration. Besides this, Col, Johnson
has sufficient voice to be heard in the con-
vention hall, and, having tried the capacity
OF the exposition building, where the con-
vention Will be held, knows that he can
make himself heard in every part OF it. AS
reading clerk he will be success in the
convention. AS the convention is TO be
held IN Minnesota the people of that state
Will be gratitled to have one of her citizens
selected tor this important position. One
member of the committee has raised the
question as to whether it would be advisa-
bic to select Minnesota man for secretary
IN view of the TACT that the convention
is held in Minnesota; but this has
little weight. as there will be assistant Sec
retaries and assistant reading clerks
chosen from outside states. BUTT seems to
De very proper thing to select man like
Col. Johnson for chief secretary of the con-
venlon lor the reason above stated. Mem
bers OF the national committee were verv
favorablv impressed with the admira bic
statement Col. Johnson read before the
committee when he was urging upon them
the selection of Minneapolis as a place OF
holding the convention. So far there has
been no other application Tor the place and
there is no doubt that Col. Johnson will be
selected secretary of the national conyen-
