gees from Spring Valley, arrived in this
city tonight, and the reports they give of
the colored people of that place have in

widow. and since the attack made by the
Italians on the colored men at Spring Val

she believes that both We're killed.
Mrs. Dixie has heard nothing from her
husband since that time and thinks him
dead. Both women say. in spite of state

not been exaggerated. They say that the
colored women and children were assault

MISSOURI CONVENTION
The Silver Element Captured lt-Bimet

Pcrtle Springs, Mo-, Aug. G.-Free silver
has conquered in Missouri as it did in Hi
nois, and the fears expressed late last
night and early this morning that there
would be strife and turmoil in today S
convention were borne out by the facts.
The so-called gold or "sound money" ad-
herents were so overwhelmed by the supe-
rior numbers of the silver forces that they
made but very faint effort to stay the
onslaught of the white metal men.
Bland said in opening the convention
that the Democrats met to adopt resolu'
tions for the free coinage of silver, to Sc
lect a State committee which would be
in sympathy with the popular Will, ana
how well his prophecy was carried ou'
the result of today's convention shows
The report of the committee on permanent
organization, which practically SHOWS un,

unanimously: that of the resolutions com
mittee for unlimited coinage ut III to l.
regardless of any foreign nation, was car
ried with hurrah and expedition seldom
seen in any convention, and furthermore
men were selected to nominate delegates
favorable to silver to the National Demo
| cratic convention in 1896. As whole
the friends of silver are happy, and con
CALCULATIONS are in order.
The convention was 1OrnnallN cdlleu ~

who made few remarks which had ten

NEW CARDINAL POPPY,
A Pretty Flower Which Lends Richness
of Color to the Garden.

Of Color to the Garden.
Each year sees distinct advance
made in the production of new and
more beautiful varieties of our stand
ard flowers The pansy, the sweet pea
and the poppy have in recent years
been each particularly fortunate in
the results of the attention which has
been bestowed upon them. I have
raised many of the newer varieties
IF these three flowers during the
past season, and have been high
ly gratifed with the beautifully
colored blossoms that have ap-
peared. Particularly gratifying have
been the results in the cultivation of
new sorts of pansies and peoples. The
most beautiful variety of the latter
that has made brilliant color in the
garden has been the new cardinal
poppy, an illustration of which is
given herewith. The color is the beau
siful combination of cardinal and
white, while the form is decidedly
handsome, perfect head being
formed that is decidedly ''feath-
cry" in appearance. 1t is de-
,ided acquisition to the list of peoples
md deserves to be widely cultivated;

TO MAXI a HOTEED.
Subject in Which Every Farmer Should
Be Interested.

Be Interested.
A hOtbed of convenient size for the
farmer may be made as follows: The
frame may be 16 inches high at the
rear and IA inches in front from the
level of the ground, and covered with
sash of any desired size. The boards
are nailed together at the corners,
fastened to 2x3 inch scantling, but
gardeners first make a pit, l foot deep,
and use d frame "a inches at the rear
and % inches at the front, according
to the kinds of plants to be grown. The
height at the front, however, depends
on the width of the bed.
Fresh horse manure, free from lit
ter, is generally used. 1t is the fer
mentation of the manure that creates
the heat. If the manure is too loose
it may create heat more rapidly than
desired. 1t is better to mix the ma
nure in a pile, allow is to heat some,
and then turn it over and well mix it
again before using it in the hotbed.
Having trampled the manure firmly
cover with rich dirt to which has been
added onefourth it's bulk of fine, we'll
rotted manure. There should be no
Jumps, stones or pebbles in the hotbed.
If necessary, sift the dirt The thick
ness of the dirt should be about
inches. As there will then be about
a foot of space between the dirt and
the sash (the hotbed being "a inches at
the rear ample air space will thus be
cd ho Loo
up quickly and is slow sprinkle the bed
well with hot water, first adding a
small quantity of air-slacked lime to
the water. If too much heat is gen.
Grated use cold water alone. When the
heat reaches about 60 degrees plant the
seeds in rows, but more warmth will
be required for the young plants
later on.
The frame should be well banked up
with dirt to prevent the effects of the
frost The object should be to main
tain as even temperature as possible.
On clear, warm days the sash may be
raised slightly in order to admit air
during the middle of the day, but this
will depend on many circumstances.
The better plan is to hang thermom-
eter in the hotbed, and to visit it ire
quently. As the heat from the manure
decreases the weather will become
