CLARKE'S OBSTINACY.
Once More Jailed, the Counselor
Secures a Writ.

Counselor Alfred Clarke was once more con.
tumaclous yesterday when brought before
Judge Levy and questioned concerning his
estate.
Pursuing his tactics Of the other day, the
counselor refused to answer any OF the ques-
lions put to him by Warren Olney, the attorney
for the assignee. Asked il he had conveyed
any property away TO anybody. II he had
bought warrants from policemen, and in fact
what he had done with his property since the
filing OF a petition in involuntary insolvency
against him, Clarke merely replied IN this wise:
"To that question. may IL please your Honor,
We say thai Alfred Clarke refuses TO answer
on the ground that by so doing be might be
seriously preiudiced in the case OF criminal
proceedings being taken against him."
AT last boIh attorney and Judge got tired,
and OlDey asked Judgf Levy 10 commit Clarke
for contempt Of court. Judge Levy consented,
and ordered Clarke to b kept in the County
Jail until he consented to answer the questions
put to him. Frank Nj. Stone. Ciaike's attOr-
ney. WAS allowed until P. NJ. TO prepare the
papers for a writ Of habeas CORPUS.
This was done, and yesterday afternoon
Clarke sued out writ of habeas corpus before
Chief Justice Beatty OF the Supreme Court
The Chief Justice granted the writ, feturnabIe
tomorrow morning, and fixed Clarke's bail at
$500. Later in the afternoon Superior Judge
Seawell approved a bond and Clarke was re-
leased from custody.

SEEKING REVENGE.
Claus SpreCkels Making
Things Lively.
He Opens on Lilienthal for Disclosing
Secrets Regarding Litigation AT.
fecting the Hawaiian Company.

Claus Spreckels was never baked in his life
until in the recent suit brought against him by
his son, c. A. Spreckels.
The results OF that injunction suit. with its
involved millions, is known. Claus Spreckels
and bis sons, j. d. and A. b. SDreckes. do not
now own dollar OF stock In the Hawaiian
Sugar and Commercial Company.
In consequence there is war in the air. In
commercial and business circles generally 1t is
common gossip that Claus Spreckels threatens
to ruin Phil Lilienthal and others instru-
mental in defeating his plans about the great
sugar company.
he has opened on Lilienthal by Transforming
all his banking from the AnglO-Calforna
Bank TO the Nevada Bank. He has done this
IN such an unusual and OstentaIiOus way as TO
attract general comment in the business CON-
munity.
Ii is no unusual thing these days to see in the
Clearing house a check of Claus Spreckes writ
ten on an ADglo-Californa Bank blank, over
which Is stamped in red letters "The Nevada
Bank" This advertisement is. of course, di-
rect slap at LienIhal. president OF the former
bank.
SpreckeS is that he believes that it was Lllien-
thai who disclosed the fact that the suit to
1oIecl0se the mortgage against the Hawaiian
Sugar and Commercial Company was about TO
be brought in the Sandwich Islands. This gave
the opportunity to G. A. Spreckels and the
other stockholders 10 get In restraining order
Just before the departure OF the steamer for
Honolulu which was TO carry the papers out OF
the country. Mr.. Lilienthal was trustee of the
stockholders and hence necessarily cogniZant
of the suit, and be was compelled 10 protect
the bond-holders.
Manager p. n. Liiienthal Of the Anglo-Cali.
fornia Bank was seen yesterday by CALL re-
nOrter md said: "Yes, il Is true that Mr..
Spreckels has changed his bank. As TO his
reasons / cannot say. 1t is mans privilege TO
0 as he pieases In these matters. AS 10 what
he may say or threaten 10 me. there is no ac-
cOun ing for a mans actions or words"

GOOD ADVICE.
NJ. r. Greeley Writes an Interesting
Letter to the Dakota Farmer,

NJ. r. Greeley Writes an Interesting
Letter to the Dakota Farmer.
Mr.. Editor: Eggs but 3 cents a
dozsnnasaakaiarmer to the writer
the other day; "and do you still advise
me to raise my W eggs?" This
came from IA farmer who buys his TO-
matoes, sweet corn, pickles, raspber-
ries, pumpkins, etc, because he says
they are so cheap, cheaper than he can
raise them. The prairie grass burns
until it endangers his buildings, still
he buys his beef. The neighbors sell
his wife butter and nearly every year
he buys the potatoes for his family.
On a Milwaukee train last week a
farmer showed us his little book OF
sales for the summer and fall. Out
side OF his wheat, corn, oats, fax and
barley he had sold $40 worth OF butter,
taken 5000 for beef, s176 for pork, $s7
for eggs, and nearly Il hundred dollars
for berries and truck from his garden,
But this was not all. This was not the
worst of it. He said that all the ber-
ries, nearly all the beef and pork, and
a goodly share of the eggs and butter
had been taken by neighboring farm
ers. Most OF them had paid cash for
it, but some he had trusted.
How long, oh, how long will this class
OF farming be continued? We meet
farmers almost every day who under
stand VI banking laws to a dot; who
Il talk protection or free trade as
clear as u bell; who can tell to a year
when Europe will be plunged into the
bloodiest war OF history. But they
are surprised to know that raspber-
ries grow in Dakota. They can not
immagine how Il flock Of hens can pay
Il store bill, or how butter and cheese
has made more farmers rich than all
the legislation on earth. Tell that one
year with another five acres OF po-
tatoes and garden will support an Or
binary family; that ten years out OF
the past twelve the price OF potatoes
in Dakota has exceeded the price OF
wheat; and that it is no trick to raise
200 or more bushels Of them to the
acre; and they will think you are Il tit
subject for an asylum and likely tell
you so.
| WITCH oic SSlS idIu up Ou Il uuN-
dred acres out west he promptly runs
in debt for another hundred. II Il
half section won't pull him through he
rents a section, and so on till money,
muscle and. credit are exhausted and
then, II the soil is not also exhausted,
another takes it up and completes the
outrage on nature.
At first, of course, this to some ex-
tent had to be done. and ut first, too,
there was some money in it. But the
day is ut hand when another kind Of
farming must supplant this, and in
some parts the change can not be made
too quickly. Some Of our lands are
already exhausted. They are foul
with many kinds Of weeds, and are too
light to be seeded to any Of the tame
grasses. II a farmer intends to make
ahome Of a piece Of land he should
not abuse it, no nor than he would
abuse his wife and children. He
should look after it carefully, and
shift as many as possible upon things
which may be made to return some OF
its departed fertility.

GRAVES DECORATED.
An Appropriate Observance Of Mem

Col. Arthur b. Linn Of Canton Delivers
the Address Of The Day In the
u. E. Church.

There was not a very large crowd on
hand to participate in the programme
for the observance of Decoration day.
The weather was quite sultry and the
roads dry as a door knob. Every
zephyr sent forth puffs of dust, caus-
ing an uncomfortable sensation to
passengers on the way to town.
Main street was nicely decorated
with flags and bunting in commemora-
ton Of the day.
1t was l O'clock when the marching
forces were fully organized and ready
for the cry Forward" Ex-Mayor
Comfy, astride a fiery steed, finally
gave the order to march and the
column presented an impressive up
pearance. The drum and fife corps
led the van, followed by the militia,
under the guiding hand Of Capt. Joe
Reynick. Then came the uniformed
rank K. OF P. with their helmets
crowned with a bunch of scarlet. The
hoary-headed veterans OF the civil war
came next and finally the citizens on
foot and in carriages.

THE LOYAL DEAD,


In speaking Of Memorial day, SC
dear to the hearts every soldier who
fought for and under that tricolored
emblem of liberty, equality and
justice-the red, white and blue-we
a do no better, perhaps, than quote
teer soldiers, the lamented Gen.
John A. Logan: LET us ut the APP
pointed time gather around their
sacred remains and garland the pas
sionless mounds above them with
the choicest flowers Of springtime; let
us raise above them the dear old flag
they saved from dishonor; let us in
this solemn presence renewO our pledges
to aid and assist those whom they have
left among us, sacred charges upon a
nations gratitude, the soldiers and
sailors widow and orphan"
No more do they hear the boom of
distant guns, announcing that the van
guard have met the enemy. The tedi-
Gus marches by day and by night,
under burning Il and over dusty
roads, and through almost impossible
quagmires are ended. No more do
they suffer for water to quench a burn
ing thirst; no more do they charge the
lines in the bloody conflict and witness
the awful mi of carnage among
their comrades such as we're witnessed
at Shiloh, Nicksburg, Chickamauga,
Perryville, Franklin, Atlanta, Gettys-
burg, Anteitam, Fredericksburg and a
thousand other hard-fought felix's. The
last tattoo has sounded flights out"
and they sleep well. May a grateful,
loving and patriotic people ever honor,
cherish and revere their memory.
There are sixteen graves in the GEM
etery belonging to veterans OF the late

answered the final roll call. Two Of
them-James Brookins and Joseph L.
Collins-are buried in other fields:
