WAYS OF THE PoPULIsrs.
McKei<han Comes to the Front in a
Petty Police Court Case.

FeJIy FOl1Ce court ease.
From the Philadelphia Press.
Washington, Aug. 1.-THE people of the
country win eventually learn the char
acter of the men whom the populists are
sending TO congress as alleged represen-
tatives.
The demagoguery of Kyle, Allen and
PETER has been explained so frequently
that little attention is paid to ANYTHING
they say or do, and now comes w. A.
McKeighan, of the Fifth Nebraska dis
trict, a special lieutenant and friend of
Senator Allen, who figures in a common
police court case, which to say the least
does not reflect credit on a congressman.
He brought about the arrest of Frank T
Hall, former employee of the Senate, on
the charge of larceny of q brush, comb
and towel from the Senate.
An investigation showed that a woman
named Mrs. Ella Morris had a towel in
her possession bearing the Senate mark.
which she said Hall had given her. The
towel was discovered by a detective hired
by Mcheighan. The woman had lived in
Mckeighan's house and had been an at
tendant on his grown daughter She had
previously been friend of Hall, and Nc
Keighan claims that the latter had been
attempting TO compromise him in some
way.
The result of the arrest would Indicate
that the woman was more in evidence
than the alleged stolen property. Hall
held two of her trunks, in which the al
legged stolen property was found and
which McHeighan's detective got posses
sion Of. The case has excited considera-
Bile comment and the conduct of Nc
keighan in mixing in it, even if he is in
nocent of any blame, increases the dis
gust which the actions of most of the
populists arouse.
AT the trial to-day nothing was found
against Hall, and he was discharged

As the result OF the analyses Of $50
samples Of soils. the Minnesota station
has issued bulletin Of which the fol-
lowing Ii = summary:
!. The continued cropping of soils To
grain crops only without any system Of
rotation or other treatment Is telling
severely upon the original stock Of half
decomposed animal and vegetable mat
ters, and nitrogen. Soils which have
produced grain crops exclusively for ten
or fifteen years contain from third To-
a half less humus and nitrogen than
adjoining soils that have never been
plowed.
2 Soils which have been cropped
until the organic matters and humus
have been materially decreased re-
tain less water and dry out more
rapidly than when there is large
amount OF organic matter present In
the soil.
s. Soils which are rich in humus
contain larger amount of phosphates
associated with them in available
forms than the soils that are poor in
humus
=. Soils which are rich in humus and
organic matters produce larger
amount of carbon dioxide that acts as
a solvent upon the soil PARTICLES and
aids the roots in procuring food.

MANFRED with well rotted manure, con-
tanned nearly quarter more water
during a six weeks drought than the
other half that received no manure.
9. The supply Of organic matter in
the soil must be kept up, because it
takes such an important part, indi-
rectly, in keeping up the fertility of
the soil. A good system OF rotation. in
GLIDING sod crops and well-prepared
farm manures will do this. and will
avoid the introduction and use of COM

Z. A rotation of crops will soon DO

composition of some of the soils and
the corresponding sub-soils. especially
those in which the surface soils are
richer in phosphates and nitrogen
while the sabsoils are richer in potash
and lime. by means of rotation. the
full benefits Of the strong points OF both
