Everything pointed to suicide. but when
an autopsy was made it was found that
Bright's disease had been the cause of
death. This puzzled the doctors not lit
tie, as it was thought that the initials -.
j. H." were those of the deceased and that
be committed suicide. The supposition was
that be had taken opium when first found,
but not taking sufficient to cause death had
rallied from the effects after being taken to
the hospital, and that during the night he
again took a dose of the drug. which it was
thought he had concealed about his person,
when dose had fatal effect. His story of
finding the revolver was discredited. it be-
ing thought that he had it to finish the Job
in case the drug did not work.
Coroner Evers has been very assiduous
in his endeavors to find the identity of the
man. and accordingly sent out pictures of
the deceased to all who might know any
thing of the case.
In the memorandum-book was written

Jose; that he was a Mason and went by
the name OF Andrew Como. The Chief OF
Police also wrote that Como was from
Missoula, Mont. at which place he had
relatives and property. 1t was also stated
that Como had money in some bank, but
of this Coroner Evers had no evidence, no
handbook or certificate being found on his
person.
The Coroner has sent WORD to the au-
thorities at Missoula. but is still very much
mystied at the letter written by -. j.

world last farewell.
The question now is, Who is u. J. H.?
Railroad Matters.
The residents on the south side Of Broad
way feel that they are very much hurt in
their business and inconvienced bv reason
of not being able to get off the Seventh
street local except on the north side of the
train. A petition asking for change is
being circulated and generally signed by
people residing below Seventh street.
Attorney Baker of the Southern Pacific
was in the anteroOm of the council
chamber on Monday night, but did not
get an opportunity to express himself. In
an interview yesterday he said that the
railroad company was perfectly willing TO
pay reasonable license tax on each of the
thirty-five cars used on Seventh street, but
thought that SO per year, the same race
as is charged for streetcars, was sufficient,
ard if this rate was fixed, Mr.. Baker said,
the railroad will not claim the right to do
a streetcar business on the ground that
they pay a municipal license. 1t was this
that City Attorney johnson feared when
he advised the Council not to place the tax
at SO per year.
Work of1the Supervisors.
Among other things done yesterday By
the A Alameda County Supervisors, the con-
tract for building the annex to the Hall of
Records was let to the FOrtin Brick Com
pany. The bid of the successful firm was
S29, The bonds of the contractors was
fixed at $500.
Most of the day was taken up by the board
in cou sderation of the Livermore road.
This road Will extend along the Rio del
Vale into the valley and town of Liver
more. and the question of building it has
been before the board for over two years.
After hearing the testimony of numerous
residents in the district TO be affected the
whole matter went over to November l3.
to which date the board adjourned.
Big Tax Receipts.
On Monday Tax Collector Rosborough
turned over TO the County Treasurer the
sum of S136,602 Al, this sum representing
the tax receipts up to that time.
The amount will be Immediately appor-
toned among the various funds and re-
lieve the depleted condition of some of
them.
The excess of taxes collected this year
over last at this time is 500. sos OF.
This is partially accounted for because
of the higher rate of taxation this year
than last, being 20 cents in excess, and also
because the outside districts are reporting
earlier than last year.
Buried Here.
The remains of Miss Mile r. Glow tho
Oakland teacher who died while on the

For TIE FLORIDA AGRICULTURIsT.
Peanuts and P ecans.

Peanuts are of exceeding value as
Florida crop. The plants either for hay
or for improving the soil have great
merit. The nuts properly cooked and
eaten with salt are not only wholesome
luxury but are also one OF the cheapest
articles OF food. Where there is any
doubt regarding the truth of this state
ment test will remove it.
Freshly cleared pine land makes this
crop to perfection; exhausted land makes
buIls-c 4lled "pops"-but little fruit.
Potash is needed.
Why is it the peanut is SO little used
in the making of oil? The writer of this
does not pretend to say. But if the oil
from the peanut is nearly equal to that
from the olive-and it is very much
superior to animal oil for health-Why
should not our whole South be supplied
with it in abundance. Why growl about
hard times when acomfortable existence
can be maintained on peanuts alone (?

Farm and Home Notes.

The children should have part OF the
garden and should be taught to cultivate
it. They will love it if some flowers
form part of their planting.
When setting strawberries in spring
cut back the roots one third with a sharp
knife; this starts new fbrous growth
quickly. Let the soil be rich and deep
Tens Of thousands of acres in the South
ern States that at one time produced a
bale Of cotton are now covered with
millions of vines and peach ard pear
trees.
When strawberry plants are received
and it is not convenient to plant st once,
let them remain in their packing of moss
out under lree or shady place in the
light.
No orchard, whether young or III,
should be allowed to grow heavy crops
of grass every year be tax en- off, Grow
ing clover and letting it rot on the
ground is a much better plan.
Ground bone and muriate Of potash
are the kinds OF fertilizers that the orch
ard needs, and if you will give it plenty,
each tree will bow and thank you. 1t
will do more than that, it will flourish
and bear fruit.
Lettuce may be sown at any time, as
it will grow if sown in the fall. When
we'll started thin out the plants to six
inches apart and they will then cover
the ground, and be much better b IN if
allowed to grow thickly.
In setting out new beds of raspberries
or blackberries cut back the canes to
about six inches above the surface OF
the soil. Throw all the strength in the
plant and get a good sturdy cane this
season for next years fruiting. Plant
as early in the season as possible, while
plants are dormant.
Any one can have all the grape vines
he, wants without cash outlay if he will
only strike as many cuttings as he has
room for vines from some grape vine in
the neighborhood. These cuttings should
be taken IF before the sap starts and
buried until the ground thaws out,
when they should be planted by bury
i g them so as to leave only one bud out
of the ground Nine out of ten will
grow treated this way.

A Propltious Start.

An industry that should have been de-
veloped long ago in this subsequently,
since an active agita ton Of the subject
began at least as far back as lSS6-has
now gotten very fine start and bids fair
TO become great wealth builder. This
is the business of canning fruits A
factory is now in successful operation in
in Key West, but the greater portion OF
the fruits put up for the market is said
to come from Cuba and others of the
West India Islands and keys.
But the greatest impetus given to the
new industry is the recent organization
of a stock company in Chicago with
$50, 900 capital for the raising and can
ming of fruits in Dade county, a tract Of
1872 acres Of pineapple land near Juno
having been bought for this purpose. At
the head Of the company is Colonel
George r. Davis, director general Of the
Worlds Fair and the other officers are
men Of almost equal prominence IN Chi
cago. Every dollar Of the capital ha S
been paid in in cash and active opera
tions have already begun on the land.
1t is an almost anomalous condition Of
affairs when preserved and canned fruits
such as pineappltS, pears, peaches,
plums, etc, are 50 universally consume d
able sale, tens Of thousands Of bushels of
these fruits go to waste in Florida every
year 1t is simply the isolation Of the
products from the great distributing
markets Of the world. Capital will not
go where the existing conditions will
necessarily tie it up and prevent profits.
and vegetables would have been lead
ing industry here dozen years ago if
the means had been provided to get the
product out of the State cheaply to the
great market centers. The investment
now Of $50, 600 in the Lake Worth cOun-
try by Chicago capitalists is only the
direct and the Immediate result of the
promise Of early rail transportation to
that section.
This company will find the new bust
ness prOfita ble-and scores of similar
fruit raising and canning plants will be
in operation in year or two. From now
on there need be no waste in the fruit
business, if properly managed. And the
vegetable crop can be saved from des-
truction in the same way. All this
means not only the saving Of Il value
which has heretofore gone to waste in
this State, but the bringing Of outside
capital here in great quantities.
Our policy toward the new industry
should therefore be one of the most lib
eral and encouraging possible.-Times-
