Soon after Miss Bailey had taken
charge OF the school, stranger ap-
peared at Purcell. He gave his name
as Bullard, and began paying atten-
tions TO Miss Bailey. Some OF her
friends warned her to keep away from
the man, but she refused to send him
away. He would go away frequently
for week or two, but always re-
turned to see the girl.
One day Bullard was at Miss Bailey's
school when Dan Spars, ii deputy Uni
ted States marshal, rode up. He rec
ognized "Bullard" as Doolan, and
started 10 draw his revolver. but the
outlaw drew his first and forced the
officer to dismount, and handcuffed
him. Then he said he wanted 20 re-
form. but the deputies would not lei
him.
Miss Bailey, who witnessed the inc,

Agricultural Chemistry.

Chemistry as the handmaiden of agri-
culture has achieved a wonderful sue
cess. Fertilizing the fields has not only
become a well understood business, but
is an exact science. There are methods
of recovering waste products and utiliz-
ing heretofore useless matter. 1t is
known what is required to produce the
best potatoes and other crops, each one
having supplied to it the chemical ne
cessities of its existence. Land, sea and
the elements are taxed to furnish tho
constituents necessary to the best growth
Of vegetation. 1t would have been q
surprise to our ancestors had they been
told that there are common plants which
derive very small portion of their SUBJ
sistence from the soil, but are fed from
the air and water; therefore, to under
stand the theories of drainage, rainfall,
evaporation and absorption are matters
Of the utmost moment. To nothing does
agriculture owe such a debt as to sci
ence, for by its means the waste places
of the earth can be made productive, and
by the introduction of new chemical ele-
ments malaria! and unwholesome soils
are made fertile and transformed into
healthy ard agreeable dwelling places

THE false pre,ense tariff hill q, N

The false pretense tariff bill OF the

tee is not n Mckinley measure.
Speaker Reed took care to see that

sible--but it Is as radically wrong as
the measure against which the PEG.
pie protested when they elected
Grover Cleveland and repcdiated Nc.

worthy. however, that the one item
against which the republicans pro-
tested so vigorously in the act of
1891, coupling all sorts Of allegations
with the cry OF the influence Of the
sugar trust. is left entirely un.
touched. The bill as whole is
