MEEKER, COLO, SATURDAY, APRIL 15 1893:

done very quickly with sprinkler, hay
ing the wheat in a bin or wagOm-box.
Let stand over night what you wish to
SOW the next day.
In the spring of 1854 my seed wheat
was smutty aud 1 sowsi twenty acres
without using vitriol or anything else,
then sowed forty acres rom the same
seed which doctored with vitriol by
dampcning it with the solution in a
wagonbox and let it stand over night
The result WAS not q shead of smut
could be found in the fcrty acres thus
treated, but the twonty acres not
treated was almost rui;ed with smut.
Others whom know have not failed to
exterminate smut by d mpening their
seed with blue vitrio diluted, The
point which l wish to show is that it is
not necessary to soak he wheat, but
use the much more speedy and easy way
of dampening the wheat which is just
rs eifectual in killingthe smut.

Colonel Shepnrd,s Kindness.

The late Colonel Elliott F. Shepard of
New York is gratefully remembered by
the congregation of the First Presby-
terrain church of Lafayette, Ind. He was
trainbound in that city one day, and on
inquiring his way to church boy
pointed out the First Presbyterian and
incidentally remarked that it was to be
sold for debt. This influenced Colonel
Shepard to attend services there, and he
dropped SEQ bill on the contribution
plate After the services he made the
acquaintance Of the pastor, and before
leaving the city he deposited with him a
letter which he enjoined should not be
opened until the next Thursday evening
prayer meeting. This letter contained a
check for $500. With this as nucleus
the congregation lifted a debt of some
thing over SO, 6,000.-Indianapolis News

Reform In Liquor Trnfiic.

On and after May 10 next licenses is
sued to storekeepers in this city to sell
liquor not to be drank on the premises
will cost 5000 year instead of $50 as
heretofore. The new rate, which applies
to those whose sales aggregate less than
$1,000 year, was agreed upon by the
excise board on Tuesday. It's adoption
is a salutary, practicable and proper
measure of excise reform.
1t is salutary because it will tend to
restrict the evil of surreptitious drink
ing in grocery. provision and drug stores
which are patronized by women, and in
which the charge for liquor is added to
the cost of household commodities.
1t is practicable. because it will aug
ment the city's excise revenues without
a corresponding increase in the number
of saloons or in the amount of liquor
sold.
1t is proper, because it will do away
with the unfair distinction which has
heretofore existed between ordinary sa-
looms where liquor is sold openly and
stores where the same article is sold pri-
vately.-New York Sun.

Lime Juice and the Pole.

We are glad to be able to state that,
warned by the fate of the Mares expedi-
ton, DR.. Nansen Zas determined to carry
with him an ample supply of concen-
trated lime juice in his arctic expedition.
Notwithstanding the angry feelings
which We're aroused some years ago by
Dur demonstration that the failure of the
Mares expedition was largely due to the
neglect of the lime juice ration and the
consequent outbreak of scurvy in the ex-
ploring party which was aiming at the
north pole, it is now an accepted axiom
that the north pole will never be
reached without lime juice" SO that the
concentration of that requisite to econo-
mize space and carriage will be matter

A rsmr,.. over Rocking chairs.

Boston is much stirred over the re-
fusal Of the commissioners of public in
stitutions to accept present Of rocking
chairs for the aged and infirm pauper
women at Rainsford island A fund Of
800 had been subscribed by private be-
nevolence, and the chairs had been
bought and shipped to the island but
the commissioners would not let the old
women have them, and they remain on
the wharf The mayor of Boston, who
appoints the commissioners, wrote note
requesting them TO accept the chairs.
The commissioners still refused, and re-
ferred the matter to the common coun-
Gil. The common council voted unani-
mously in favor Of accepting the chairs,
and the aldermen concurred with only
one dissenting voter.
Strong pressure was, however, brought
to bear upon the council and aldermen
by the commissioners. Some of the
aldermen were taken down the harbor
TO Rainsford island and came back re-
porting that there was already one rock
ing chair for every three women, and
more chairs would be n needless luxury.
The result was that the council and
aldermen were induced to reconsider
their vote and refer the whole matter to
the committee on public institutions,
which means shelving it indefinitely.
The insolent and unreasonable beha-
vior Of the commissioners is understood
to be due to a grudge against Mrs. Alice
N. Lincoln, who was active in raising
the money for the rocking chairs, and
who has aroused the ire of the commits
sioners by previous efforts to better the
condition of the paupers and to reform
certain abuses which have caused the
loss of more than one life.--Boston Wo-

The litigation between the United

appeal respecting the use to which
shall be put the church property es-
cheated by the courts decision ut q

lie policy. When the property was
declared forfeited the court directed
the Utah supreme court to fix the
charitable uses to which it should be
put That court rejected the PROPOSE
ton of the government as TO the use
which should be made of the fund from
the property, amounting toabout $780,

piled to the support and aid Of the poor
members of the Church of Jesus Christ
and Latter Day Saints and to the build
ing and repairing of houses of worship
for the members of the church. The
United States has appealed from this
decree, asserting that it would prac-
tically permit the property to be de-
voted to the same purposes for which 1t
was formerly held. Yesterday the SUI
preme court, with the concurrence OF
both parties to the suit advanced the
