Fall p]asturing Winter Grain.

Some of our Western exchanges are
giving opinions about the effect Of fall
pasturing winter wheat. We have
seen wheat that made too heavy a
growth in the fall. which was mater
tally benefited by %pasturing with
sheep while the ground was dry and
before the frost had injured the feed.
Sheep are better for this than any 9TH
er stock. They are light III proportion
to the size of their feed, and their
trapping over light, porus soil makes
it compact. Then, what they eat off in
the fall is only what would be u con-
slant drain on the root whenever the
weather is mild. The wheat grower
wants a large growth in the fall main
ly to get a vigorous o If the top
growth Is cut or eaten Off the roo is
none the worse for tie fact.

The Second Wedding Gown.

What is the correct wedding dress for
a widow bride? asks Lady ViCi,t Gre
vile, n literary belle of London. Shall
she compete with her virgin sisters and
wear white, Or must she cen take
refuge in cool gray, soft lilac or ccru-
lean blue? Hitherto white has been
tabooed as the color of innocence, to
which the widow, guileful as she is
supposed to be. dares no longer pre-
tend. Now, however, we have changed
all that. A fashionable woman, marry
ing for the second time, wore white
satin trimmed with sable at her we'd
ding the other day. The charm is
broken and other brides will follow

The heaviest losses in feeding stock
that is being fattened are sure to re-
suit from feeding in excess. Always
leaving the appetite not wholly salts
fled is the rule for the best success.
Then the food given will be better di-
geSted, and the most will be made Of
the nutrition that it can furnish. Much
depends on skill in feeding to get tho
best results. With a properly dIversi-
fled ration, including some %succuTent
and less nutritious food, more can be
digested than where the more concen-
trated forms of nutrition are given.
Fattening hogs, for example. ought to
have some roots, and a daily ration
Of fine wheat middIings with or be-
fore their corn ration. They will eat
quite as much corn with this as with
out it, and will digest 1t better.

Washington, Feb II. - BY the de-
cisive vote OF SO to % the senate voted
to inaugurate the project Of laying a
cable from the Pacific coast to Hawaii.
An amendment to the diplomatic and
consular appropriation bill was made
giving 100000 for beginning work on
the cable and authorizing the presi-
dent to contract for the entire work,
estimated to cost $4,000, O00. This was
the first practical result coming from
the intermittent Hawaiian debate,
lasting more than a year, and renewed
with intensity the past week in con-
nection with the proposed cable. The
debate Of the last few days has shown
that the lines Of division were practi-
cally the same as those heretofore eX-
listing OF all issues Owe Hawaii, the
Republican senators urging closer re-
~lationship by cable and ultimately by
annexation, the Democratic senators
as a rule contending against the cable
or other entangl'ng alliances with Ha-
wall. But this party division had
notable exceptions during the debate
and was emphasized in the final vote.
Six Democratic senators-Morgan,
German, Hill, Butler, Call and White
voted with the twenty-eight Repub-
licans and three Populists, constituting
the majority, for the cable. One Re
publican senator - Pettigrew - and
twenty-foTr Democrats voted against
the cable. All absent Republicans and
two Populists were paired for the
proposition.
The house in committee Of the whole,
by a vote of 124 to 50, voted t place
individual clerks Of members on the
annual salary roll at the rate of 800
per month. These clerks now get 500
ptr month during the session Of the
house, The annual attempt to strike
out the appropriation for the civil
service commission was made, but did
not assume a Serious phase, and was
d~efeated-32 to 20. ,

OId-Time Methods.
MUCH INDIGNATION AROUSED
lie Legi lattve Report In Favor OF Less-
ing the Penitenttsry VIII Prob
ably Prevail.

Omaha March PA Bee special from
Lincoln says;
Testimony taken by the joint com
mittee appointed by the house and SEN
ate to investigate the condition and
management of the state penitentiary
was submitted today. The fact seems
TO have been pretty clearly established
that some form of punishment inflicted
at the penitentiary is unnecessarily
harsh. The investigation also brought
out the fact that the favorite form of
torture at the state penitentiary con
sisted of placing the convict in the dark
cellar with his hands handcuffed and
drawn up toward the back of his neck,
with rope first passed around his neck
in such a manner that every effort made
by the man undergoing the punishment
to lower his hands from the painful
elevation drew the rope so tightly be-
hind his neck that suffocation would
ensue.
THE committee then recommended
that this form of punishment be dis
pensed with. This recommendation
seems to have been neglected to some
extent, but a new mode of torture has
been brought into prominence. The
convicts are handcuffed to rope The
other end of the rope is passed over
pulley in the ceiling and the convict is
hauled up until he can barely touch the
floor with his toes. He is left in this
position until he is either sufficiently
punished or faints away. In the latter
case he is let down and a bucket of
water thrown over him to revive him,
and he is then conducted back to his cell
or cot in the hospital.
MANY persons testified to these facts
and the committee reported in favor of
system of leasing the penitentiary,
which will probabaly be adopted"

NEGRO INSURGENTS RISE IN CUBA
Declare That the Whites Are Powerless
70 Free That Country.

New York. March A.-A special to a
morning paper from Nassau, New Prov
ldence, says: Additional news continues
to be received from Cuba of insurgent
victories in the east. The latest and most
startling yet received is that CUTLER Mon
acadia. the negro leader of a band near
Guantanamo, is one of the few men who
want to turn the revolution into a race
war. 1t is also reported that Monacada
surprised a large detachment of Spanish
troops near Guantanamo recently and
completely routed them. In this battle
it is said 200 Spaniards were killed and
wounded. This was followed by cruel
and inhuman treatment of the Spaniards
by Monacada's forces. There was but one
white man in Monacada's detachment
After the battle he ordered this man to
leave camp, saying the whites had failed
to free Cuba in the last war and now in
dependence would be secured by the ne
groes Monacada's idea seems to be to
make another San Domingo OF Cuba.
His attitude is deplored by the sympathiz-
ers of the revolutionary movement.

Next National Election Means a
Battle With Gold Bugs.
THE FINANClERS KNOW IT
Plan OF Campaign Formed by Whit
NJ. tai Leaders In the Greet
struggle.

Chicago, March 22.--The Record says
center next year and silver will be the
dominant issue for the presidential
campaign. This statement was made
by a man who is recognized as a lead
ing factor of the silver propaganda and
it was conceded by number of con-
sentative financial men to be the only
logical conclusion which could be drawn
from series of recent events. A plan
of campaign has been laid out which
will bring the leaders of the silver prop
uganda from Denver to Chicago and al
ready the boast is made that "silver
will split the republican and demo-
cratic parties and that the Allegheny
mountains next year will be the great
divide which separates the yellow At
lantic coast from the white Mississippi
valley and Pacific coast"
The plan contemplates an arbitrary
demand on both national conventions,
for 1t is said that the silver men of
both parties have arrived at a perfect
understanding in the matter; that
plank for free silver coinage at ratio
of 16 to l, Independent of other COM
mercial nations, must be placed in the
platforms OF the respective parties"
According to the Record, If either or
both conventions refuse to be dictated
to by aggressive silverites, the silver
delegates will withdraw and an indie
pendent silver party will be formed with
headquarters in Chicago. The choice
for the leaders of this political enter
prise is Congressman j. C. Sibley of
Pennsylvania, democrat; second
choice falls upon r. p. Bland of Mis-
souri,, a democrat; w. J. Bryan of Ne
braska, democrat; Senator Teller of
Colorado, republican, and Senator Jones
of Nevada, republican. 1t is taken for
granted by the silver men that organ
lied labor and the peoples party will
combine with them to form the silver
party and they have expressed a will
lingness to accept governmental con-
troll of transportation provided that this
modification of plank 10 is made a sub
ordinate issue to free silver.
