A Reminder of a Redwood County
Murder and hanuinu.

Horace Greeley Perry editress of
the St. Peter Journal in the last issue
of her excellent and spicy little sheet.
has the following romance regarding
Redwood county murder and hanging:
An amusing incident occurred at
Redwood Falls during the Rose muir
der case. Bill Erwin was defending
the man who was accused of killing
Moses Lufkin, who had opposed the
m arriage of his daughter Miss Grace
to William Rose,a good looking young
cowboy fresh from the western plains.
Being in this district Judge Webber
sat upon the case. During the course
of the proceedings, Judge Webber
found it necessary to call the great
criminal lawyer back to the facts of
the case, as he was rambling outside
of facts and figures. Erwin arose
slowly, and cast an inquiring glance
at the Judge, then at the jury, then at
the people assembled. After the house
had been hushed to perfect stiffness
he wheeled his tall form back to the
jury, then fixed his eyes on the Court
and strikinga tragical attitude, the
lion reared: "May it please your
Honor, God made man. God made
my client and by the grace of God 1
am here to protect him. Erwin was
not interrupted again. Rose was
hanged, however, and one day while
visiting at Tracy, we drove out to the
place where the pretty romance ended
in that awful tragedy. The Rose cot
tage is just across the road from the
graveyard, where Moses Lufkin, Will
Rose and Grace Lufkin are buried
1t will be remembered that Grace
committed suicide after her lover had
been sentenced to die for killing her
father. So the three are resting in
the same little cemetery which stands
in full view of the boyhood haunts of
Will Rose and the girlhood days of
pretty Grace Lufkin. Roses little
buckskin pony was feeding near by
and the picture to us was sad one
indeed. QAfter the execution of Rose,
his aged mother and little sister came
into town some six miles with a wag-
on and drove home alone with the
body in the darkness.

THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1895.

occurred in the basement. where a
large kerosene oil tank is located.
Just what the causeof the explosion
was no one seems to be able to say.
Mr.. Schmahl, in an adjoining room
up stairs, was the first to discover the
blaze, and running down stairs, dis
coved the explosion. Half crazed he
rushed into the fire and was jerked
out a few seconds later by some OF
the clerks. He was horribly burned
about his neck, the back of his head
and hands, the latter being the most
severely burned by reason of his hav-
ing held them over his face, and thus
preventing the face from being badly
burned. Mr.. Schmahl was i'm
mediately taken to the drug
store of Schmahl & Co.'S where
the burns were dressed by DIR. Finn.
He was afterwards taken home.
In the meantime the flames spread
with lightning-like rapidity. The
burning oil was volcano for it's path.
1t issued up through the floor through
the side of the grocery department of
the mercantile establishment and up
through the second floor of the frame
building. The fire alarm was given,
and firemen at dinner and other citi-
zens responded with lightning speed.
The hose carts and hook and ladder
trucks we're rushed to the scene OF
action, hose was coupled on to ada
cent hydrants, and in less than fifteen
minutes four streams of water were
playing on the burning building.
The fire was quick to spread, how
ever, and soon found its way through
the one door leading into the dry
goods establishment, and up through
the roof into the windows of Hotel
Francois. The firemen did all in their
power to prevent its spreading into
the brick building, but it went like
finder and although the water sent
forth into the new and on to the old
building had a great effect, fire got
into the dry goods department sutfi-
cient to make the goods almost an
entire loss.
The frame building was doomed
from the start. There was no posi-

feeders usually average. Wheat

feeders usually average. Wheat
should be coarsely ground with few
oats to help digestion, and whenever
you feed heavily on grain, some kind
OF roughness must be fed or your hogs
will fail in appetite and thrift. I was
told by the land agent when 1 came
to this country that there was no hog
cholera in this country, which was
true enough, for there we're no hogs,
but once get as many hogs in one
place here as exists in central Illinois,
with the same conditions existing, and
there will be hog cholera enough. To
sum up the matter of hog feeding,
| will here give few short rules for
feeding, pre-supposing of course, that
the previous hints on breeding and
raising have been followed. First, a
fattening hog does not need as much
exercise as growing one, therefore
he should be shut in closer quarters
to get fat and lazy. Second, these
quarters must be kept clean, dry, we'll
ventilated and warm or shady as the
weather may be, for an absence of
these conditions is a great cause of
hog cholera. Third, all food given
must be in sound condition and made
as digestable as possible so that the
hog may not only eat large quantity
of food, but digest it. Fourth, the
hogs diet must be varied as much as
possible SO as to keep up the appetite
and healthy condition. Fifth. In
addition to the above, he must have
access to plenty of clean water and
some kind of roughness, for an ex-
elusive grain diet will ruin the diges-
tive power of any hog in few weeks
The chewing of this roughness causes
more saliva to pass from the mouth to
the stomach and aids in digesting the
starchy parts of the food. Sixth, have
charcoal and salt within the hogs
reach all of the time; if you cannot
get wood charcoal, feed a little soft
coal. or char some whole corn. These
things are anti-septics and aid di-
gestion. Seventh. Feed all your
ground feed in troughs, and ear corn
on a floor, but never in the dirt. Do
not have your ground feed too sloppy,
only soak it enough to become soft,
not sour. Eighth. Do not use the
same piece of land for hog yard more
than two or three years without
change. Fence in new yard and
pillow up the old one, plant it the first
year to mangels, the second to pota-
toes, and as soon as your potatoes are
off level the land and SOW to rye and
the following spring it will be ready
again for hog yard.

men, with the aid Of citizens, did all
in their power to save the contents,
but the fire had made such inroads
that the goods saved were badly dam
aged so far as money value is con-
cerned.
The fire was under control by one
o'clock and at 2:3O the firemen rolled
up the hose and put the hose carts in
their respective houses.
J. M. Huntington, who was with
Herman Schmahl at the time the fire
was first discovered, said that as soon
as Herman arrived at the top of the
stairs leading to the basement he
yelled fire, and jumped down into the
basement, which was then seething

ing up through the basement entrance
and Mr.. Huntington considers it a
miracle that Mr.. Schmahl was ever
got out alive. He rushed to the door
and gave the alarm. He said the fire
spread with mercurial rapidity, and
he wonders ed that it did not commit
greater ruin than it did.
For a long time there was prob
ability of the fire spreading to the
adjoining building west of Hotel
Francois, but the excellent work of
the firemen kept the flames from 60
ing through the building and blaze
never peeped on the west side. In
fact the goods and chattels of board
ers located in the west rooms were
uninjured and the boarders came out
smiling after the fire was out.
The total loss on the contents is in
the neighborhood of $4,000, the
goods invoicing that amount last
February, when Mr.. Schmahl caused
an invoice to be taken for the trustee.
The frame building was not worth
over $1,000, and the loss to the brick
structure is in the neighborhood of
one thousand dollars. The contents
of Hotel Francois we're damaged from
one to two thousand dollars.

Diversified FARMING,
BY JAMES ARNOLD.

In summering a lot of hogs, care
should be taken, that at all times they
have plenty of clean water for drink
ing, and also shade. If your hogs
can. have an occasional wallow in the
summer, they will greatly appreciate
it, but it is not necessary unless they
are lousy, and even then dilute
carbolic acid, lone teaspoonful
to one hundred of water,) we'll ap-
piled will clean them all off. Keep
your hog house free from lice. This
can kbe done by lime washing &C.
casional]y, and this wash should have
little carbolic acid in it. A good
shade may be made out Of a few 16
foot common boards. Take a few
fence posts and set on the north side
of your south fence, about three feet
from the fence posts, nail some short
bits of 2x4 scantling across from the
fence to your posts, rafter-like, nail on
your Is foot boards, allowing them to
lap one inch to carry off the water in
rain, and you have cheap shade.
Having brought our hogs through in
the pasture till from the first to the
middle of August, it is now time to
begin to fatten them. They must be
gradually brought to full feed, or
you will clog their appetites, and in
jure their digestion. Old grain is
much better to fatten with then new.
The bacon which fetches the best
price is the British Yorkshire bacon,
and is fattened on ground barley,
shorts and boiled potatoes, and for
the last four to six weeks mainly on
hog peas. This manner of feeding
gives firmness and flavor which places
it on the market above that fed en-
tirely on the more starchy grains.
The farmer who has the largest
capital and can buy or hold over his
old grain for early fall feed for fatten-
ing, is in the best position for making
hogs profitable, for he can have his
hogs ready for market earlier when
the price is best, and pigs born the
previous September ought to weigh
from 800 to $50 pounds at from IL to
IL months old. Much has been writ
ten in the last six months about the
wonderful properties of wheat as hog
feed. Chemical analysis shows wheat
to be inferior to corn in fat forming
properties, though slightly superior
in flesh forming matter. and after
feeding several hundred bushels last
fall I think favorably of wheat as hog
feed, but I do not consider one trial
enough to prove anything.
A very good return from bushel
of whole corn is eight pounds Of pork

LOUIS NAPOLEON,S MARRIAGE.
His Search For Wife Before He Was
Welded to Eugene.

Louis Napoleon had not the faintest in
tention Of making the handsome Spanish
girl his wife either in the near or remote
future. If proof of this were wanted, it
would be found in the fact of his having

royal princesses during the period-the 10

wife was nothing to it. The dowager
Duchess Of Baden (Stephanie de Beauhar-
nais), the Duke of Leuchtenberg (another
relative on his mothers side) and Don
Francis d'Assisi, the husband of Isabella
of Spain, were successfully but fruitlessly
appealed to by him to provide him with a
spouse. Finally, just a month before the
public announcement of the emperOrs be-
trothal to Mile. Eugene de Montijo, he
applied to Prince Hohenlohe for the hand
of Princess Adelaide, and week later the
queen and Prince Albert were still dis
cussing letter from Prince Hohenlohe on
the subject.
The new emreror's offer was kept pro-
found secret at the time, at the urgent re-
quest of Prince Hohenlohe himself, who
feared that the prospect of being empress
of the French might prove too dazzling for
his daughter, while he, her father, was in
no way fascinated by it. From his point
of view, the proposed union was not desir-
able. He had misgivings about the settle
ment and objected, moreover on the
ground of religion and morals. The queen
herself did not oppose the alliance, al

specialist in the city, man who follows
another odd and systematic calling-the
dealer in peddlers' supplies.
The "street fakirs" who are employed
by the "boss fakirs' are corralled mainly
in the Bowery lodging houses. AS a gen
eral thing they do not make any deposit
for their goods. They are consigned to
them on trust, and though it is undeni-
ably true that many of them are hard
characters it is a rare occasion that they
do not turn up to render an account of
their sales. The "boss fakir' always
counts upon securing the return of his
original outlay and profit besides. This
profit he shares with the street fakir in
equal parts deducting, however, % cents
a day for the use of the pushcart.
The profits on street novelties vary
widely. Sometimes huckster makes as
high as $40 or Sl2 day. Again it may be
but dollar or two, and sometimes the
"boss fakir" has to advance Il small
amount to carry his salesman over the
night. If the return has been considerable
$40 or S12-the street fakir' sets about
spending it in the Bowery dives. He won't
work again until reduced to his last cent

If it had not been so, the red white and

THE WESTERN FLATBOATMEN.
Not Always Deserving the Reputation That
Was Given Them.

was NINeh 4heIs
General Veile in defending Abraham
Lincoln from the often published state
ment that he was a flatboatman in his
young days, seems burdened with the ter
rible fact, as he will have it, that those
boatmen were of low grade as to morals,
drunkards, etc. The general has no right,
in truth, to make those statements as to
the character of tho 1atboatmen of the
early days Of the river settlements. 1t is
a gross libel upon the general character of
the early settler. There were drunkards
among the early settlers the same as now
but they were not among the bOatmen, for
the very good reason that they could not
be relied on in time of need in case of
storms, wind or any other emergency.
The very reverse of the character which
General Veile would give to those boat
men was the fact. Many prominent farm
ers would send their own produce several
uniting to fill "a boat, or merchants and
other men would buy produce, fill a boat
and send it down the river in sober hands
Christians of all grades, even to the
preacher, operated hatboats. One preach
er, l remember, ran those boats even as
long as Lincoln is said to have run on one
and raised a family of boys who nearly all
did the same running the most of their
lives, while many such boatmen rose from
that humble calling to be steamboatmen
even to captaincies. The late Captain
David, who recently died in Madison, had
his start on a flatboat more than 90 years
ago. This little story about one of the
best citizens whom Vevay ever had may
show just how near "drunkard" got to
being q flatboatman. George G. Knox
was, first of all, Methodist and tenn
perance man, and at first wool carder,
then a stealh flour miller, and lastly a
hatboatman, at least so far as loading a
boat at the Vevay wharf. He had no pa

hold of fellow to help him load his boat
who soon developed the whisky in him so
strongly as to cause the good man to pull
off his coat, throw it on the ground and
say to 1t, "Lie there, Methodist, until
thrash the whisky out of this fellow"
And as he was large and stout he so wal

experience before any steamboat floated

it in my very early youth, and he lived to

on fatboats to New Orleans and walked
