TOO MANY SPARROWS.
The EngIisi, Bird Is rsot Even Favorite In
His Own Home.

The English Bird Is Rot Even Favorite In
His Own Home.
It appears that the datested English
lite in his own home across the water,
where his habits have been mere caro-
fully noted.
In the course of his paper on wild
Birds, Useful and Injurious" in the
Royal Agricultural society's journal,
Mr.. G. f. Archibald says: ''The sparrow
has received an overlooking measure Of
abuse from farmers and gardeners, and,
notwithstanding all that has been urged
in its favor by enthusiastic advocates,
there can BE- little doubt that it deserves
large share of the vituperation Be-
slowed upon it. The keynote to the SPAR
rows character is to be found in the
deiusion under which it labors that
corn growing is carried Oh for its es.
pecial benefit. Grain is undoubtedly the
mainstay Of the sparrow. This it OBJ
tains in the fields at seedtime, when
sprouting, III the unripe, milky condi-
ton, and when fully 1latured. At this
last named period quantity of grain is
wasted by being shaken out on the
ground by the birds, in addition to the
amount actually consumed. At this
time, too, numbers of sparrows which
live for the greater part Of the year in
towns ere tempted to visit the field,
their grinly appearance proclaiming
their usual haunts.
''In gardens the sparrow finds full
scope for its destructive propensities in
devouring peas, of which it is very fond,
as well as a few gooseberries and cher
ries. In the most mischieyous way, too.
1t pulls to pieces the flowers of the
orocus, dahlia, primrose, polyanthuss
hepatica, hcartsease, wistaria, the shoots
OF pinks and carnations, the pods of the
labcrnur and the blossom of fruit
trees. 1t also does considerable damage
60 beds of young radishes and lettuces,
besides levying toll on the grass seeds
sown on lawns. On the other hand, it
must be freely admitted that the spar
row does great deal of good.
"Among the pests destroyed by the
sparrows are wireworms, daddy long
legs, weevils from peas and beans,
aphides, caterpillars of various kinds,
housef1ies, blue beetles, black beetles
and white butterflies. In some districts
choviss, otherwise known as Maybugs,
occasionally Go immense damage, and
at such times spar-ows have been seen
with their mouths crammed full of
them. The quality Of weed seeds which
the sparrow cats must also be placed to
its credit, fur in this way is helps to
suppress such Objectionable plants rs
charlocll, corn bind weed, goosefoot,
knotgrass, huttercup, dandelion, chick
weed and dock"

REGARDED POLITICAL.
The Arrest of Governor Waite Fails
TO Cause Any Excitement at
Denver.
CHARGED TO REPUBLICANS,
Who in Turn Say 1t Is a Fight Be-
tween the "White Wings" and
POpulists.

DENVER, Aug. 30.-The arrest of Gov
ernor Waite and officials of the police
department on charge of OBTAINING
and opening a letter intended for ex-
Police Matron Tikens has not caused
much excitement, being generally re-
garded as mere political move. Pop
ulists who are working to prevent the
denomination of Waite declare that Re-
publicans who desire to have the gov
ernor renominated, believing he will be
the weakest candidate the Populists can
name, caused arrest for the purpose Of
arousing sympathy for him in his
party and stampeding the convention.
On the other hand, the Republicans
say it is purely political fight between
the Cleveland white Wings Democrats
and the Populists The letter in ques-
ton was enclosed in an envelope and
addressed police Matron, Denver"
and it was opened by Matron Dwyer.
Waite Highly Indignant.
Governor Waite created scene in
the commissioners rooms. He was
highly indignant and when Deputy
United States District Attorney Rhodes
stepped toward him with extended hand
the governor met him with a cold stare.
Governor Waite pleaded not guilty,
claiming he had not opened the letter,
but that its contents had been read to
him.
The hearing of the case was set for
next Thursday and it was suggested
IL a

WHEAT AS ANIMAL rood.
A Bulletin ON the Subject Issued by the
Agricultural Department..

sAAS
Agricultural Department..
WASHINGTON, Aug. S0.-A bulletin on
wheat as an animal food, has been is
sued by the agricultural department
It was compiled by Mr.. d. E. Salamon,
chief of the animal industry bureau Of
the depar tment, and is in response to
inquiries as to the value of wheat for
growing and fattening animals, sug-
gested by the important change in the
comparative prices of wheat, corn and
oats. The bulletin advocates the use
of screenings and imperfect wheat as
animal food, and placing of only the
best wheat on the market. A statisti-
cal table shows the near approach
chemically of $3.50 pounds of wheat to
German standard ration for growing
from to IL months of age, and the
fact that 331s pounds of wheat comes
much nearer the feeding standard for
fattening cattle than docs the same
quantity of corn. Equal parts Of wheat
and corn should, however, prove better
for fattening animals than either of
these grains alone. For growing an
imals corn is plainly not So suitable as
is wheat or oats.
Wheat Superior to Corn.
When wheat and corn are the same
price per bushel, says the bulletin, it is
preferable to feed on wheat and sell
corn. First, because wheat weighs z
per cent heavier than corn; secondly
because wheat is weight for weight an
equally good grain for fattening ami
mails and better for growing animals;
and thirdly because there is much less
value in fertiiizing elements removed
from the farm ON corn than in wheat.
Wheat should be fed at first in small
quantities, and when possible be mixed
with some other grain, and care taken
to prevent any one animal from getting
more than the quantity intended for it.
Precautions are especially necessary
when wheat is fed to horses.
The best form in which to feed wheat
is to roll or grind it into a coarse meal.
From Canadian experiments it appears
that wheat exceeds corn i'll feeding
value, while in South Dakota corn was
found to exceed wheat.

CURED late last night in front Of ALT
Ashland avenua One man was in

injured. The dead and injured are

broken in three places; Patrick Cassidy,

How the Trouble Originated.
At 4117 Ashland avenue Mrs. James
Cook has a saloon on the first floor and
the Dunworth family reside OH the sec
ond floor. The Dunworths had a ledger
named John Marshall, who was too de-
liberate in paying his rent to suit them.
On Sunday Cassidy, q brother of Mrs.
Dunworth, attempted to collect the
rent by force and was badly beaten by
Marshall Later Cassidy and Marshall
resumed their fight, and the latter, who
had with him several friends, chased
Cassidy into the street. The fight was
warming up nicely when John Dacey,
friend Of Cassidy, came along. He
had a revolver and tried to shoot Mar
shall, but his weapon would not work.
Mrs. Dunworth then came to the rescue
of Dacey and Cassidy with some paving
stones. Just at this time Ray and Dom
ahan came along in buggy. just
how they
Became Mixed in the Fight
nobody knows, but they were in it as
soon as they saw it. A paving stone
hurled by Mrs. Dunworth struck Ray
at the base of the brain and broke his
neck. He also received stab that
would have proved fatal had the paving
stone been less effective.
By this time dozen men were in the
fight on each side and fists, knives, re-
voivers, clubs and stones were all in &C
tive operation. A call was sent for the
police and just as they begun to arrive
a strange man, with Donahan's assist
ance, put the body of Ray into the
buggy and drove away. After going
several blocks they discovered that Ray
was dead, threw the body into the
street and Grove away. The police ar
rested half the neighborhood and carted
the wounded to the hospital.
