The Herald, last week, heard of the

little in names, and put in some who
were not apostles, but in the main its

FEEDING WHEAT.
Report by the Kansas Board OF Agricui-
ture Saws 1t Is DecidedIy Profitable.

Report by the Kansas Board of Agricui-
ture Says 1t Is Decidedly Profitable.
Farmers can not fail to be interested
in an elaborate and able report just
published by the Kansas State Board
of Agriculture on the advantages and
disadvantages of wheat as food for
farm animals. The conclusion reached
is that, at the present price Of wheat,
there is decided profit to be gained in
feeding wheat instead of corn.
In order to get at the truth in this
late phase of the ucheap-wheat prob
lem, the Secretary of the Kansas state
Board of Agriculture recently sent a
carefully prepared list of questions to
1000 wheat growers, stock growers,
feeders and dairymen, and after edit
ing the replies found himself in pos
ses sion of 400 very useful contributions
on the subject. From the answers and
estimates of these 0bservant and prac-
tical men he compiled the following
interesting conclusions:
OF, the n, ,S27 ,523 bushels of winter
and spring wheat IN sed in Kansas in
1893 there has been used as feed for
farm animals 4,059, 223 bushels, or Iii.
per cent. When fed whole, especially
to hogs, 25 per cent. of the wheat
grains are swallowed unmasticated and
go through the animal undigested-a
shameful waste. Yet three-fourths OF
the men reporting, representing fifty
coInties. state that. pound for pound,
wheat is superior TO shelled corn
for fattening hogs-even with the
one-fourth waste This superiority Is
estimated vaiously at from to IS per
cent, the average pla ing the superb
ority of wheat over corn at 10 per cent.
AS to how much live pork may be ex-
pected as a fair return per bushel of
wheat fed to hogs, the average of all
the answers is eleven pounds. 1t is
also of interest TO note that the cost OF
raising bushel Of wheat in Kansas
ranges from 56t cents. where an acre
yields only 10 bushels, down to 26
cents where an acre yields 35 bushels.
The Secretary sums mp his conclu-
sions thus: Under existing conditions
wheat has become very unusual and
important factor in the grain feeding
OF all classes OF farm stock. 1t is su-
perior to corn in producing healthful,
well-balanced growth in young ami
mails. Mixed with corn. oats or bran,
IL is much superior to either alone for
working horses. Fed to COWS it Is far
and away ahead of corn as a milk pro-
ducer. For swine it gives generous
results, but Is used at a disadvantage
when fed whole, especially without
soaking. For cattle the clear wheat is
rather too carbonaceOus unless mixed
with corn or oil cake.

The decrease In 1898 and 1894 of the
number of Immigrants coming to our
shores is attributed to cholera in 1893
and to the panic for 1894 1t will be
seen from the above that while the
immigrants from Austria Hungary,
Poland, Italy and Russia were about
one one-hundredth OF the number from
the United Kingdom, Fiance, Germany
and Scandinavia in 1869, in 1880 they
were one-tenth and In 1894 nearly equal
to it. There are now 100000 per-
sons of foreign birth in the United
States, and over 2l l,000,L00 of foreign
birth or parentage.
Statistics have also been prepared
showing that 4 i per cent. OF our for
eign born population are settled in

like these will be presented to the

The Louisville and Nashville across

eight coaches we'll loaded with pleas
ure-seekers, a large proportion of them
being women and children, pulled out
on time. AS the train approached the
crossing of the Northeastern tracks
Engineer Hanley brought his train to

He then gave the signal to 60 ahead
and proceeded across the tracks OF the
Northeastern.
The East Louisiana train CARRYING
excursionists to points in st. Tam

tracks and, with a wild shrek from
its whistle for down brakes" it
crashed into the sixth coach Of the
Louisville q Nashville train. The col

engine was derai!ed and buried its
nose several feet in the soft mud. Pas
sengers on the + asst Louisiana train
were injured except for the shock
of collision. Not so with the coast ex-
cursion, however. Just before the
iron monster struck the coach several
OF the passengers saw it coming and a
panic ensued. There was wild rush
to escape from the dc omed coach, but
before one OF the passengers could
reach either platform the approa hing
engine had struck, and the coach, with
its living freight, was hurled from the
track into the ditch. Women and

while men fought their way blindly
for some escape from the coach.
Seats were torn up and hurled in
every direction by the force of the
collision, AID after the first wild panic
had subsidized there were heard piteous
means from different quarters of the
wreck, telling OF painful injuries. The
greatest indignation and anger pre-
vailed among the witnesses Of the col
lision against Engineer Simpson, who
had ruthlessly disregarded the law re
quiring him to stop and had caused
the frigbtful wreck. Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that Simpson had
esca ed to the swamp.

Reception I'm New York.
The reception given by the irish Ma

was productive of some results never
dreamed OF by its originators. In the
heart of the meeting, and while all
eyes were turned upon Mr.. Blake as he
stood upon the platform delivering one
of his most impressive speeches, a
stoutly built, frowsily dressed man
walked swiftly around the back OF the
front tier of boxes until he reached
the last one nearest the platform and
to the left Of the pr scenium arch. In
his hand he carried dn old. bulky,
green gingham umbrella, which he
seemed TO hold with peculiar tender
ness. Outside the box he stopped,
hesitated moment, and then enter
ing, took chair in a corner nearest
the stage. The old man left in
minute.
1t might have been a minute or two
later when sharp cry from the wom-
EN- in the box, resounding through the
house, startled everyone from their
seats and stopped the speaker. At the
same moment there leaped out gush
of fame ana smoke, and then followed

Restrict Immigration.

Restrict Immigration.
The restriction OF immigration is q
subject that has been more or less aim
lessly discussed for many years; but
now at length movement has been
started that will take practical steps to
remedy whatever defects exist In the
system. The new organization is named
the immigration Restriction League.
Its object Is to advocate and work for
the iurther judicious restriction OF i'm
migration. 1t will issue documents
and circulars in all the States, and in
every way try to stir up pub ic opinion
to the necessity of some action. The
league will by no means advocate the
exclusion OF immigrants, either OF
laborers or other persons OF
fit them to become citizens. 1t
will endeavor to be practical
working body, aiming to place before
the people all facts showing the need
of further regulation and restriction,
in the hope OF bringing about some re-
form in the pre- :ent system, OF what
ever nature it may be. 1t is signifi-
cant that foreign born citizens are
likewise interesting themselves in the
movement, and the leagues member
ship includes many prominent German
Americans and Irish-Americans. The
labor organizations. led by Samuel
Gompers, are preparing to second the
new Organizations propaganda, as it
is directly in the line of the contract
labor law and other legislation in
which they are concerned.
The League is strictly non-partisan
and non-political. The central head
quarters are in Boston, and the Chair
man of the Executive Committee is
Robert Dec. Ward. 1t proposes three
remedies. 1t would insist that each
foreigner desirous of settling here
should pay money tax. should have
certain educational qualifications, and
shou d at the port OF embarkation have
secured consular certificate, attest
ing his fitness to become citizen of
the republic. From carefully prepared
statistics it is evident that we are
getting the undesirable emigrants,
while South America, Australia and
even Africa are attracting those whose
labors a especially desirable in the
upbuilding of new countries Such
conditio of affairs the league hopes
to reverse, and with su object in
mind it will have suitable measure
introduced into the next Congress.
The league has collected valuable
statistics illustrating the e e'eriorating
process of immigration during the past
twenty-five years. Here are some
figures that are instructive:

At Washington Court House, Ohio,
three men were killed and about a

from lynching William Dolby, colored.
Dolby assaulted Mrs. Mary G. Boyd,
aged 55, at PARROTS station q week
ago, and was captured at Delaware,
Ohio, and brought into court at WASH
ington Court House. He pleaded guilty
and was sentenced to twenty years in
the penitentiary. An angry mob gath
cred about the Jail after Dolby had
been identified by his victim, and
Sheriff Cook called to his assistance
the local militia company. This ac-
tion increased the fury against Dolby,
and Gov. Mckinley was appealed to
for additional assistance, and troops
from Columbus were sent, Col. Colt in
command.
The mob surrounding the Jail and
court house attempted to take Dolby
from the officers when removed from
the Jail to the court house for trial,
but were kept at bay by the free use
of bayonets and dubbed guns. When
brought to the court house Dolby
broke down. While bringing him from
the Jail the mob charged and almost
succeeded in getting him. Henry
Kirk, the brother-in-law of the as
saulted woman, was knocked down the
steps and badly bruised Another man
was bayoneted through the finger,
