Jan. 81, ostensibIy ON coasting trip,

and was quietly at anchor in this bay.
The reason for the search was the be-
lief of the customs officers that the Al
calde was chartered by friends of the
Hawaiian revolutionists to meet the
suspected schooner Fl. G. Wahlburg,
now held here, far out TO sea and take
from her certain refugees from Hawaii
and such property that might incrimin-

schooner.
Think the story Fishy.

his story sufficiently suspicious TO
justify them in keeping the Alcalde
under close watch pending the result Of
the government investigation. They

Wahlburg far out to sea and took her

NEARING THE CLOSE
Congress Enters Upon the
Last Week of It's Le-
gal Existence.
USUAL CRUSH HAS BEGUN.
Many Exciting Scenes Prom
ised I'm the Battle for
Precedence.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.--The house
has entered upon the last week of its
session and the usual crush which char
acterizes the closing hours of every ses-
sion of congress has begun. Under the
rules the last six days of every session
are suspension days and members recog-
nized may call up bills and have them
acted on under suspension OF the rules.
There are 331 public bills ON the calen-
dar. 217 of which must be considered in
committee Of the whole and ia on the
regular calendar. In addition TO these
there are over 500 bills on the private
calendar. OF course only very insig-
nificant percentage of these bills can be
passed, but the press for precedence
win be terrific and
Many Exciting scenes
are almost sure to occur. 1t is quite
probable that several night sessions will
be held and it is almost certain that
congress win remain i'm continuous ses-
sion from Saturday until Monday next,
ON which day congress expires by lmita-
tion at noon. The regular appropriation
bills are unusually well advanced so far
as the house is concerned, only one, the
deficiency, being enacted upon, and it
will go to the senate. The two which
are considered dangerous, that Is,
liable TO fail or be vetoed, are the sum
dry civil and the diplomatic and con-
sular. To the former the senate com
mittee ON finance has reported an
amendment requiring the secretary OF
the treasury
no Advertise for Bids
in case of another bond Issue. To the
diplomatic and consular, the senate has
added amendment for the Hawaiian
cable. If these provisions prevail
despite the protest of the house it is
thought that President Cleveland may
veto them. The committee on Pacific
railroads Is pressing for an opportunity
to secure a vote ON the funding bill as
amended and the committee ON publ &
buildings is equally insistent upon it's
demand for chance to settle the ques4
ton of the printing Office site which has
been hanging fire for several years. As
o whole the week promises to be both
interesting and exciting.

OLE STOPPED TRAFFIC.

War slsetween . Hills Farmer and the
Illinois Central.
HILLS, Mimi. Feb. 26.-A merry war
is on between the Illinois Central rail
road and Ole Qualley, owner of land
adjoining the Central depot. Last year
when the depot was located the COM
pany contracted for.a street from the
depot TO the adjoining town site, but
failed TO settle for the same. Saturday
Qualley erected gate across the street,
locking IT with paddock and log chain,
stopping the carrying of mails and all
other travel. As there is no outlet from
the depot except over Qualley's land
matters are somewhat complicated and
long litigation will probably be the
result.

CREATING MUCH CONTENTION.

Expulsion Of q California Professor for
Heresy-His Beliefs.
BERKEIEY, Cal, Feb. 26.-The ex-
puIsion of Professor Charles Woodwork
and student, Maxwell, from the First
Baptist church for heresy is creating
much contention in this university town.
The charges against Woodworth were
that he had stated in writing that the
HlDls contained many errors of history
and geology, and that "the Trinity is
only three of the many manifestations
OF God. " Woodworth maintains that
Christ was born of two human parents.
The professor had also said that ''the
death OF Jesus like the Jewish sacrifices
only saves symbolically, and that "the
fail 81 man was not from true holiness,
but from childish innocence The lat.
ter S6s saant involved the question OF
evolution, to which Woodwork firmly
adhered as good method of reasoning,
both for science and Christianity. Some
OF the members of the church arraigned
against Professor Woodworth say they
viii take the matter before the academic
senate and the board of regents of the
university, arguing that if man is unfit
because of his heresies, to teach Sunday
school he is not proper person to in
struct the students of the university.
To this Professor Woodwork says
that to eliminate his teachings at the
] University Of California, they must
eliminate lscience and put in ortho lox
cler2ymen of the old school, who will
teach as truths traditions and legends
that are no mors valuable except sym
bolically than the myths and legends of
ancient Greece.

Two Year Three Crop Rotation.

Following is a report of a successful
:rial Of a three crop rotation in two years
en the University farm at Columbus. O..
a crop of clover was cut for hay about
Juno 10 last The land was plowed
June 1915, put in good condition and
planted TO corn for fodder and ensilage.
The corn was cut in September, giving
a yield Of about 8 .,stons per acre. The
land was easily put in condition and
sown to wheat. In this case an old clover
sod was the starting point, but it could
as we'll have been l-year-old crop. II
it Is dcsizod TO continue this rotation,
clover can be sown next spring i'll the
wheat
1t Will be noticed that the ground is
plowed but once for the three crops. One
objection t. the plan is that this plow-
ing comes in "a busy time and when the
weather is often hot The time of plant
ing Is late, bat not too late to secure a
good crop for ensilage or dry fodder
Generally little cultivation after the
corn has started would be necessary. II
there should be a failure to secure a
stand of clover corn could be planted
earhsr in the spring.
Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1895-08-09
Sowing Fed Glover.

Red clover seed is usually sown IL
tho spring. If sown very early, severe
frosts afterward may destroy the young
plants. If sown later, there is some
danger that dry weather may come on
before tho young plants have become
well rooted. 1t is safer TO SOW as soon
as danger Of severe freezing is past.
Sowing on late snow is liked much
10y many, as the snow helps the sower
t. secure uniform distribution of tho
seed, and as it mclts tho snow helps
carry the seed into the soft surface. 1t
is usually difficult TO at once harrow or
roll the soil if the seed is sown early
because of tho moisture. If seeding is
delayed, or If the surface is dry enough,
light narrowing or rolling is desirable.
1t is assumed the soil is III good condi-
ton
If the ground is in good condition, 10
to - pounds per aero should be an
abundance Of seed. If the ground is not
we'll prepared it may be we'll to SOW
more, expecting a considerable percent
age Of the seed not to grow. We like
the plan of twice sowing-sowing half
the seed and then cross sowing with the
other half This helps to secure a more
even distribution Of the seed. The
young plants should DO allowed to get
fair growth before they are cut or
eaten off, and at no time the first season
should they be closely pastured
