PROF. SHAW'S EXPERIMENT

Prof. Shaw, of the State university
is trying the experiment of feeding
l6 sheep upon an acre of land which
has always been supposed to be capa-
BILE of feeding but two through the
season. His process is to divide the
acre into quarters which are sown to
rye, sorghum, rape and other succu-
lent cereals. The sheep are turned in
to one section and when that is eaten
off, they are turned into another, and
the first section is allowed to recuper-
ate. After the rye has been cropped
off couple of times, it is cultivated
and corn drilled in thickly. The sheep
are kept in good condition and.sthe
Professor claims that by this process
the mutton is improved and will
equal that of the English fed, which
is said to be the best in the world.
Besides this the ground is in better
condition in the fall than insSthe
spring, and after few years of such
treatment will produce better crops
than it would before. The experiment
will prove of great benefit to the
farmers of the state, for while it is not
to be expected that any farmer in
general will be able to keep as many
sheep to the acre as Prof. Shaw's test
will show may possibly be kept by
giving the matter close attention,
yet by following the same line the
farmer may be enabled to greatly in.
crease his number, and if he is there
by able to feed half that number tC
the acre he will have greatly increased
the source of income from his farm
The success of this scheme will dc
much toward making Minnesota g
great mutton producing state.

TORE CITY CONTRACTS.
T. r. Coughlan Takes Everything il
Sight, Including Hickory Street.

Sight, Including Hickory Street.
Bids were opened this afternoon by
the board of public works for the curb
ing, guttering, grading and macadam-
izing of Hickory street from Front to
Second streets, and for furnishing the
city with 5000 cubic yards of crushed
stone.
The only bid on the Hickory street
work was one by T. R. Coughlan of
81, 1888 for the work complete. The con-
tract was awarded to him. The engi-
neer's estimate was 81, $40 on somewhat
different specifications. The city will
donate the use Of the road roller and
the fuel required to run it, to try its
power at such street work, and the O.
S. Kelly Co.'S expert has agreed to run
it. 1t is intended to make sample
block of this improvement.
Two bids for crushed stone were re-
ceived as follows:
WEB. Craig
In quarry on wagon, SlO5 per yd.
On street within reasonable distance,
S1.2S per yd.
T. r. Coughlan-
In quarry, 80 cents per yd. On the
street, S1.l5 per yd.
The contract was awarded to Mr.
Coughlan. The question arose as tC
where the council intended the stone
to be used. but nobody knew. Some
body suggested that it was to bt
spread out and rolled over to give the
street roller exercise. AS nobod.
knew where the stone was to be useC
there was some question as to whethe
the contract ought to be awarded, o
the bids simply reported to the coun
Gil.
The bid of John Mccall on tn
Cherry street sewer was rejected, ant
it was agreed to readvertise for bids
to be opened July 18th.

HE VOTED FOR THE CRIME.

Senator Stewart, who is now one of
the leading advocates for the free
coinage of silver at 16 to 1 ratio by
this country alone, voted for the act
of 1878, and defended it at that time.
The Minneapolis Journal also quotes
him as saying in 1873:
81 want the standard gold, and no
paper money not redeemable in gold;
no paper money the value of which is
not ascertained; no paper money that
will organize gold board to speculate
in it,"
And speaking on resolution in the
senate to instruct the finance COM
mittee to report bill providing for
the convertibility of treasury notes
into gold or per cent bonds, Senator
Stewart said:
''By this process we shall come to a
specie basis, and when the laboring
man receives dollar it will have the
purchasing power of dollar, and he
will not be called upon to do what is
| impossible for him or the producing
classes to do, figure upon the ex.
changes, figure upon the fluctuations
figure upon the gambling in New
York; but he will know what his
money is worth. Gold is the universe.
standard of the world. Everybody
knows what gold dollar is WORTH.
| And Senator Stewart was large
"gold bug" until silver began to tum
BILE through overproduction and his
silver mines needed help, so he adopt
ed the theory that the government
should take and pay for the product
of the silver mines in this country
Since then he has been silver bug.

This is the Sentence On.Miss Purdy s
Assistants.

The examination of VIM. Morrow,
James Greenbush and Severn Hegger-
ness. on the charge of assault in the
second degree upon Chas. l.. Puroy'
the brother of the young lady whom
Heggerness insulted on the street.-the
other evening, was set for this morn
ing. Miss Purdy and her young lady
companion were in the court room,
accompanied by the formers father
and brother, as witnesses in the case.
Hughes Bros. appeared as attorneys
for the defendants.
AS no injury had been inflicted IN
the assault, County Attorney Bene-
dict concluded to allow the prisoners
topleadguilty to the charge OF assault
in the third degree. This they all DID,
and they were then ordered to STAND
I'D and the court addressed some re-
marks to them. He said that there
had been great deal of disturbance,
loud and boistrous conduct, by some
of the Young men of the city. lie
did not lay it all onto the prisoners,
however. They had participated IN
the violation of the law against the
peace and dignity of the city. They
had regulations to maintain, and so
has the city and the latter can only
do it by having law abiding citizens.
The prisoners were young men and
had started out on poor road TO
reach the top of the ladder. They
were naturally kind hearted boys,
but they allowed drink to get the bet
ter of them. He charged them to
leave drink alone and, insisted that
they should leave the paths which
they had been treading. He did not
intend to be severe in sentencing
them.
Each of the three parties was fined
800 and the costs, to be equally divld'
ed among them, or in default of pay
ment they were to be committed to
the county jail for forty days.
Greenbush was unable to pay his
fine and was committed to jail.
