STAMBULOFF ATTACKED.
Ex-Premier Probably Fatally Wounded by
 Bold Assassins.

Hold AsSaSstnSs
 SOFIA, July lo.-M Stambuloff. ex- premier of Bulgaria, was returning home last evening from the Union club, accom- panied by a colleague, NJ. Pctcoff, when they were attacked by four persons armed with rcvolvers and knives. NJ. Stambuloff received several wounds in the head and lost quantity of blood. His condition is serious.
 The assailants attacked the carriage, compelling the coachman to stop. NJ. Stambuloff's servant fired his revolver but missed the mark. NJ. Stambuloff jumped out and received immediately a cut which almost severed his hand from the wrist. NJ Stambuloff then tried to es- cape, but was followed and stabbed in the head and received d revolver shot, when he fell to the ground, where his assailants continued their stabs, badly wounding his other hand. NJ. Petcoff, running to his assistance, was also stabbed.
 NJ. Petcoff declares that he saw gen darlnes running away, as well as the as- SailantS. The shots were heard at the Union club, and the friends of NJ. Stam- buloff came and found him covered with blood and surrounded by several persons and by gendarmeS, none of whom pro fessed to have noticed where the assail- ants had fled.
 NJ. Stambuloff was taken to his house and was laid upon a sofa. The doctors de- clare that one and perhaps both of his hands must be amputated, and he may possibly die.
 While surrounded by his political friends the chiefs of police wanted to enter the house, but the wounded statesman's wife sternly forbade them to do so and accused them of complicity in the crime. She told them to search for the culprits.
 Several arrests have been made. There is great indignation felt in the city, The attack was made upon frequented street.
 It is greatly remarked now that the last number of the government newspaper or gan, Mir, violently attacked M. Stambu- loff, accusing him of being foreign spy. The outrage is believed to be tho personal vengeance of persons who suffered during his regime as premier.

Holmes Took Them Away.

When they reached tho cellar, it appeared to the detectives that something had dis turbCd the cellar floor, and arming them selves with shOvels they began to dig. 4 short distance below the surface they came across tho arm and q portion of the head of one of the little murdered girls. Fur thcr work soon revealed the entire body not only of the first, but of her sister. They were both naked, and had lain there in all probability since last October. The last trace the officers had of the children was at Detroit. They were taken there from Chicago, where they had been at- tending school. They boarded on West Congress street one week in 1894. Holmes secured possession of Alice. aged 13, first taking her to Philadelphia to identify her fathers body.
 Then he went to St. Louis and told the mother that he would put Howard and Nellie in good school in Indianapolis. This was on Sept. 2S, 1894. Mrs. Pitzel received two letters from Holmes in In- dianapolis, and acting on his advice she went to her parents home in Illinois Be- coming worried about the children, she went to Chicago, where she received word from Holmes to go to Detroit. She met him in that city and demanded the chill dren, but was induced to go with him to Toronto and then to Burlington, Vt. So far as known tho boy was never seen in Detroit.
 Asphyxiated Them In a Trunk.
 There were no traces of violence on the bodies, and it is thought that Holmes de- cOycd tho children into a trunk under some prctcXt and took them to the house. Then gas was inserted by means of tube through a small hole. The trunk, with a hole in it, neatly covered and with a strap tackled down, was found in one of Holmes rooms. The little girls when found were naked and had been buried without a cof- fin of any kind.
 No trace of the boy Howard, a lad of s, has been found, but he is thought to be undoubtedly dead.
 The St. Vincent street house has been taken possession of by the police and an inquest will be held tonight at o'clock As the crime was evidently committed in this country, it will be necessary to extra dite Holmes and put him on trial for tho murder hcre

off with such uniform vigor nor
tassel and shoot SO evenly, but in
this patch was always found the
earliest and some of the largest
ears.
In saving seed for these expert
ments I always shelled one inch
from each end of the ear and the
same from the middle, and these
were planted in separate patches
and Of considerable size. AS a
result of these experiments 1 con-
cluded that an early variety of
corn might be produced by plant
ing only butt grains, and always
selecting the earliest from these
for next years seed, and had I'M
proved greatly on my original
seed when in 1879 I unwisely dis
posed of all my seed except what
/ wished to plant, and lost it all.
That year we had no rain in the
spring to bring up corn until
April 20, when there was heavy
downpour and not enough fell on
my field to lay the dust from that
time until late in September

Selecting Seed Corn.

The question of seed corn for
next year should be settled now
by going into the field and select
ing the most perfect ears possible
from the most prolific stalks. The
ears selected should be large, even
grained, we'll filed to the very tips
and well covered with shuck, and
after selecting them keep them
separate from all other corn. 1t
is a good plan to shell as soon as
dry and put in a tight barrel or
box and cover with three or four
inches of ashes in which salt in
proportion of about one to ten has
been thoroughly mixed. This will
insure against weevil and will not
injure the germ if thoroughly dry
before putting away.
Every year also the question
comes up as to whether we should
reject the top and butt grains or
plant the whole ear. The result
of q series of experiments running
through several years along in the
seventies, about 10 per cent. of the
grains from the tip of the ears fail
ed to germinate, and of those that
did come up fully one-half were
weak and never showed proper
yigor throughout the season, tas-
selling and shooting unevenly and
from two to eight days late. The
G g-ains in the middle of the ear
seldom failed IN a single instance
to sprout. grew off evenly, tasseled
and silked well together. The
grains from the butts of the cars,
no matter how irregular in shape,
sprouted as universally as those
from the middle, bnt did not grow

Market Slowly.

The Columbia Register gives
the following good advice as to
marketing cotton:
"The weekly financial review is
sued Saturday by the banking
house OF Henry Clews & Co, New
York, says: "The yield of cotton
may be expected 20 fall considera-
bly, shori; of our largest recent
years bat- for the groMersth that
can hardly be regarded as a mis-
fortune; for, with the inevitable
higher prices, the net return to the
planters will be much hetter than
that of the larger crops which sold
SO low that virtually no profit was
made on them" But, the farmers
should remember that thou gh the
cottof crop is short, higher prices
are not "inevitable." If the far
mers will not rush their cotton to
market, higher prices will be re-
realized; but, if they glut the
market at the beginning of the
season, the shortness of the crop
will be of no advantage to them
speculators will reap the benefit
after the crop is out of the hands
Of the farmers. The Registers ad-
vice, often lterated, to the farmers
is to market their cotton as slowly
as their necessities will permit, SO
as never to allow. the supply to
greatly exceed the demand; if
they do this, buyers will soon run
up the price in their anxiety to
supply their mills with full stocks.
This advice cannot be given too
often, and farmers will find profit
in following tt. A crop of cotton
was never made more economical
ly than this years and consequent
ly a good price for it will bring
better times to most of the far
mers in the South"
