THE PLOT DISCOVERED,
Attempt to Destroy the French
Ironclad CarnOt Frustrated.


Toulon, July 14.-The authorities of
this port are investigating what appears
to be the attempt of an anarchist to de-
stroy by fire the new French ironclad
Cornot, which was launched yesterday.
Full details in regard to the alleged plot
ere not obtainable, as the investigation
is not complete. But the following facts
seem to have leaked out in spite of the
precautions taken to prevent their pub
lication:
Just previous to the launching of the
ironclad one of the dock yard officials
discovered smoke issuing from the hold
Of the vessel. An alarm was promptly
given, and it was found that the fire had
only just started, and therefore it was
easily extinguished. The flames had been
started in manner which leaves no
room for doubt that it was plot to de-
stroy the ship. A large bottle of turpen-
tine had been en,ptied over the wood
work in the hold a manner we'll cal
culated to cause a rapid spread of fire.
Near the bottle box of matches was
found and several burned matches We're
around the spot where the flames burst
forth. 1t is reported that one of tue
dock yard workmen, suspected Of being
an anarchist. was shortly aftcrward ar
rested and confessed that he and two ac-
completes planned to set fire to the Car.

Terre Haute, Ind, July 14.-A south
bound Evansville & Terre Haute freight
train was wrecked under peculiar circum-
stances in the yards of the road in the
south part of the city to-day. Attempts
wer made before the train started to
prevent the engineer and fireman from
taking out the train. Failing, the strik-
ers left in anger. Fearing trouble, Supt.
Corbett and Roadmaster Thompson went
out on the locomotive, watching the
track for Instructions. The locomotive
passed a switch in safety, but it was
turned under the moving train and over
turned two cars cars. An explosion fol-
lowed, and it is believed dynamite was
used Men were seen running from be-
hind tool house near the strikers. No
one was hurt by the wreck.

Evening Muscular under the direction
Of Ben F. Kelley, the trapper who es-
corted the Carlin hunting party out of
the mountain Businesses last fall, which
left this city June 6, returned unexpect

of the river banks and surrounding coun-
try for a distance of several miles in the
various directions from the spot where
the unfortunate cook was deserted by his
companions. Not a single trace of the
missing man could be found, nor was
there anything to indicate that he had
wandered from the camp where he was
left. The Kelley party encountered
many hardships on the trip but stuck
faithfully to their task until hope of
finding Colgates bones had to be aban-

old man persisted near the spot where de-

A Tragedy Resulting From the Great
Strike.
st. Paul, July 16-Charles E. Leonard,
clerk of the Omaha road, shot and in
stantly killed Charles J. Luth, Great
Northern switchman, in the Laborers
HCme, corner of Rosabel and Fifth
streets, at GAO o'clock Saturday night
The tragedy was the direct result of
Luth's attempted interference with Leon
ards arrangements with Mrs. Mary Han
sen, the proprietor of the hotel, to fur
nish board for some new railroad men.
The switchman struck Bert Nash, as
sistant ticket agent for the Omaha road,
and turned with uplifted hand toward
Leonard, when the latter drew a revolver
and fired four shots, all of which took eff
feet. He gave himself up to the police
Immediately and was taken to the cell
trail police station, where he is now con-
fined. The shooting Was an outcome Of
the strike troubles. Luth was ore of the.
strikers discharged by the st. Paul &
Duluth road some time ago, and has
since been employed by the Great North
ern. He was an active member of the
American Railway union. ~.

Science in Poultry Raising.

So much has been said and written
Of late years in regard to the care Of
poultry that it would seem that the in
dustry might now be reduced to a sci
ence. Entirely too much Of the various
farm products put upon the markets
are really unfit for human food and are
detrimental to health because they have
not been produced in harmony with
science and the natural law. No other
marketable product shows this more
than the quality of poultry found in
the markets. We quote the following
item from the Progressive Farmer: The
flavor Of eggs depends very much on
the kind Of food given to the poultry
When hens are fed largely or almost
exclusively on milk, the yolk is lighter
in color, the white has a milky look
and the whole egg is watery and less
firm in texture than those laid by grain
fed hens. The taste Of the egg is also
affected, being insipid and unsatisfac-
tory when boiled or poach ed and less
fine for cooking purposes even. There
is no use in saying that the idea of the
Nuillty VI llAC CSSS -UclIS 1ulucuCCu ny
the food of the hens is a mere whim,
since it is a well known fact that the
eggs of fowls kept in the neighborhood
Of the sea and fed almost entirely on
fish-taken as they come, embracing
the strong and oily as well as the
more delicate sorts-have ''an ancient
and fsh-like" taste, if not "smell," and
eggs coming from those regions sell
for less in the market in some instances
than those coming from districts fur
ther inland. The reasons why hens fed
on Stops Of milk, ETC., are able to give
no better eggs to their owners is be-
cause the .'old, old story" is repeated in
their case You demand the ''ta1e Of
brick Of your servants but you give
them no straw to make them with.
Curd hardly comes under the head Of
milk and there is little danger of hav-
ing it in large quantities to cHer to
your fowls. It contains all the best and
most nutritious portions Of the milk
without its Objectionable water quail
tiles. But the true feed for laying
fowls is one-third or e-quarter In
dian corn, ground or otherwise, and
oats or wheat, together with milk or
whatever scraps from the house are
obtainable and as much green vegeta-
BILE food as they will eat; and with
these combined and fed properly your
eggs will be Of the true gold and silver

Wheat and Flour.

Comparatively few persons are aware
Of the remarkably large increase in the
worlds wheat acreage during the past
twenty years. Within that time the
production Of wheat in this country
has risen from 23O, 100000 bushels. the
yield of 1878, to 611,7S0,O0O in 1891.
During the same period a tremendous;
increase has also been made in the
worlds supply by the enlarged acreage
in India, and the opening up Of vast
wheat belt in the Argentine Republic
The fall in price of wheat within ten
years has been 35 per cent, but it is
evident that the cost of production has.
also been greatly decreased by the
opening of vast areas of new and cheap
lands in the West and the introduction
of labor-saving machinery. While it
is conceded that there is no profit in
raising wheat at the present market
price, it is reasonably certain that the
dollar a bushel mark will never be
reached again unless in case Of crop
failure of large proportions extending
all over the world. Experts are of the.
opinion that there is more money in.
raising wheat at so cents bushel at;
the present time, than there was at:
$1.1O per bushel in 1883.
1t is suggested, in connection with
the marked decline in wheat prices
during the past ten years, that prices
of flour have not been correspondingly
reduced. This is a mistake, as the
grade Of -four which sold in 1888 for
1913 a barrel, when wheat was $11O,
now sells for $500, with wheat at IS,
cents. These figures show a fall in.
wheat prices of 35 per cent and in flour
of nearly so per cent, which indicates.
that improved methods have reduced
the cost of flour to a point below the
level naturally to be expected from the
fall in wheat prices.

by our best farmers, viz: Rotation Of
crops, application Of commercial fer

Too many farmers are content to go-
on year after year practicing antiquat-
ed methods, always growing the same
crops in the same way, using out of
date and inferior tools because. they

change it is made by guess. To change
crops, tools or methods all at once is
not the thing as rule because in
that case we have nothing by which
comparisons mag be made and posi-
