FARM MORTGAGES.
The First Adequate and Comprehensive
Report Ever Made on the Subject.

Report Ever Made on the Subject.
We begin at last really to know some
thing about farm mortgages and the
burdening Of American homes with
debt. Census bulletin No. SO gives the
first adequate and comprehensive report
ever made on tho subject, and that re-
port retutCs statements that have been
made and accepted Here arc tho facts
as CLEANED from tho bulletin alluded to
by the New York Word
There are about /, $50, 900 farm fam
lies i'll the country. Only about 900, 900
Of them have any mortgages at all. And
these mortgages. as clearly appears,
represent for the most Part energy and
thrift rather than impovcrishnlent.
They are mortgages given for deferred
payments in purchasing land or for cap
ital borrowed to enlarge operations
Less than per covt of all the mortgages
represent borrowing for expenses or be-
cause of poverty. The rest represent
profitable business enterprise.
This mortgage Indebtedness lies al.
most wholly north Of the Potomac and
Ohio line. New York farms are mort
gagged for $l3S, $50, 003. Those of Iowa
carry burden Of little more than
800, 600, 600; those Of Illinois, a triflo
less. In Pennsylvania and Kansas the
figures fall to about $13, 600, 900, in
Ohio TO $40, 600, 600, in Michigan to
$G4, 900, eco, in Wisconsin to :s55, 900,
600, III Missouri to $53, 900, 900, in No
braska to S.;47, 600, 900, in California to
SAG, 600, 600, in Indiana about the same,
in Minnesota to &37, 600, 900, in New
Jersey to $50, 900, 600, South Dakota
SIS, 600, 600 and Vermont and Massa-
ohuSot.S 81 900, 600 each.
Among the southern states West Vir-
ginia heads the list With IS, 600, coo

1t has been ascertained by an extend
cd series of experiments that rye and
winter wheat will germinate in soil the
temperature of which is as low as 80
degrees. Barley, oats, flax, clover and
peas will sprout at 85 degrees. The tur-

CULTURE OF THE POTATO.
A Summary of the Leading Points In Fer
tilizatiOn For This Tuber.

A Summary of the Leading Points In Fer
tilization For This Tuber.
The key to the highest success in po-
tato culture is abundant fertilization
with just the right sort of plant food
gross feeder. The potato can maintain
it's rank and hungry foliage and produce
big crop of fine tubers only nnder ex-
cesslve fertilization, giving the plant
an unstinted supply of the food just
suited to it. The result of 53 analyses Of
the ash of the potato (tubers) gives the
average of potash which it contains as
60 per cent, phosphoric acid II and
sulphuric acid Gls per cent. 10 produce
the potato crop in it's perfection potash
is required in larger proportion than
either nitrogen or phosphoric acid. A
study of 60 reports of the largest yiolds
of potatoes grown for the prizes offered
by American Agriculturist, in Ia differ
ent states, gives some very interesting
results.
A summary of tho leading points in
fertilization for tho potato gathered
from these experiments makes it appear,
first, that coarse, fresh stable manure is
not good fertilizer for potatoes Yet
this does not imply that it is worthless
for this crop At the same time, if used
for the potato, it must bo applied in a
fine, decomposed condition, spread Oh
the surface the fall before the crop is to
be planted, thoroughly worked into the
soil and supplemented at planting time
by from 500 to 1,2OO pounds of com
mercial fertilizer or complete manure
Second, fall manurins is generally a
good preparation for the potato crop,
but not without tho application in
spring of wood ashes, lime, plaster or
commercial fertilizers. Third, some cX-
perienco with ones soil and with differ
ent fertilizers is necessary to the best
results. II one knows from previous ex-
perimcnts whether his soil be lacking
in potash, nitrogen or phosphoric acid
it will only be necessary to supply the
element wanting. OF these three indis-
pensable clements the soil may be def
ciont in only ono or two. The practical
value Of soil experiments is tho guide
they furnish to subsequent cropping.
Fourth, ODo thing seems to have
been settled-in nearly all instances
commercial fertilizers or comnlete DO
tatO manures furnish the best and most
direct food for the crop III most cases
and in the cheapest form and almost
invariably produce tho largest yields
This statement anplics only to manufac-
tured fertilizers or homo mixtures OF the
highest grade, as none Of tho contest
ants was foolish enough to use low
grade goods, which for tho potato as for
other quick growing crops are often the
most extensive in the end though cheap

SENSATION OF TACOMA.
An Alleged Shortage in the
Accounts of a PoStoffice
Employe.
San Francisco Inspectors Have
Been Called Upon to Make an
Investigation.

TACOMA, WASH, May THE Post
Office Inspectors at San Francisco have
been sent for by local authorities to in
vestigate an alleged shortage in the &C
counts of the postoffice here.
Postmaster A. B. Case draws $500 sal
ary and is now in Yokohama on pleas
ure trip spending part of it. Since his de-
parture, and for some time previous, one OF
the stamp clerks, Eustace Drum, nephew
of Henry Drum, chairman of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee and
Deputy Collector of Customs here, has
been spending more money than usual. 1t
was ascertained that in one week he was
over 500 short in his accounts, and an in
vestigation showed that the total amount
young Drum has not accounted for was
between $40 and $3.50. He was discharged
by Assistant Postmaster Stocking, but re-
instated few days ago after his uncle de-
posted with Uncle Samuel his note for
the amount of the deficit. The Drums are
very prominent here and the young mans
escapade has been kept quiet.
Assistant Postmaster Stocking denied to
the CALL correspondent to-day that there
is any deficit but did not deny that note
is on deposit to cover shortage. 1t has
been suggested to the San Francisco In
spectors that the office be investigated
from top to bottom.

SAN DIEGO CASE DECIDED.
A Ruling in Which the Power
to Fill Vacancies Is
Defined.
The Supreme Court Affirms the
Lower Courts Judgment in the
SWeet-Ward Case.

SACRAMENTO. CAL, May THE Su-
preme Court to-day affirmed the judgment
rendered by the Superior Court of San
Diego County in the case of A. II. Sweet
and has declared him to be the District
Attorney of said county.
In January, 1898, NJ. L, Ward was elected
District Attorney of San Diego. He quail
fed and entered upon the duties of the
Office. At the general election held in No
vember, 1894, and during Wards term and
incumbency, William Darby was elected
to succeed him. Darby qualified on No
vember a, and died on December of the
same year.
Section 90 of the county government act
of 1891 provides that "all elected county
officers shall be elected at the general cleo
ton to be held in November, 1892, and
every two years thereafter, and shall take
Office at u o'clock NJ. of the first Monday
after the first day of January next succeed
ing their election. All officers elected un-
der the provisions of this act shall hold
Office until their successors are elected or
appointed and qualified"
Section $40 of the political code pro-
vides: every officer must continue to dis
charge the duties of his Office, although
his term has expired, until his successor
has qualified
Such was the law when Ward was
elected and when the question in itiga-
ton arose.
After Darby's death, and on the I'd day
of January, 1895, the old Board OF Super
visors, as then constituted, appointed
Ward to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Darby, and upon the day of his
appointment Ward qualified in due form.
At o'clock P. NJ, on January 7, 1895,
the personnel of the Board of Supervisors
having changed by the outgoing of two old
and the incoming of two new Supervisors
at noon of that day, the board as then con-
stituted declared vacancy to exist in the
Office of District Attorney, and appointed
A. II. Sweet to fill the same during the
term for which Darby had been elected,
and Sweet qualified. Upon Wards refusal
to surrender the Office Sweet brought suit
to oust him.
The decision as rendered by the Supreme
Court is as follows:
First-That vacancy arose in the Office
of District Attorney, by reason of the cleo
ton, qualification and death of Darby.
Second-This vacancy existed at and
after noon of the 7th day of January, 1895,
and not before.
Third-The attempt of the first Board of
Supervisors to fill the vacancy on January
was in excess of its power and void.
Fourth-That the vacancy was properly
filed by the existing Board of Supervisors
at o'clock of January 7.
1t is claimed by some well versed in the
infricacies of civil procedure that this de-
cision will have decided bearing upon the
case of Stewart Menzies vs. Nose Gunst
for the Police Commissionership of San
Francisco, tending to affirm Governor
Budd's appointment of Menzies.

DEATH FROM EXPOSURE.
The Crew of the c. G. White
PeriShed After Reach
ing Shore.
Another Schooner Reported to Have
Been Wrecked at Kodiak Dur
ing the Late Storm.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, May T.
Mail advices from Kodiak, Alaska, re-
ceived to-day give further details OF the
wreck of the schooner C. G. White of San
Francisco in a gale and snowstorm on
April IA. One letter says eleven lives were
lost, and another places the loss at seven
teen. Captain Isaacson, after the White
struck rock, drifted ashore on a piece OF
wreckage and died an hour afterward from
exposure. Every man but two reached
the shore, and the cold, chilling blasts oi
the gale and the binding snowstorm
caused the men to die on the beach.
On the third day, when a party of ma
tives came along, six of the survivors were
taken to Kodiak on the schooner Lescoi
for medical treatment. Their limbs were
frightfully swollen necessitating amputa-
ton. Three others remained at the scene
of the wreck until schooner could return
with assistance.
The vessel is a complete loss, the hull
being ground into splinters. 1t is not
known at Kodiak how many sealskins she
had, but it is belived her catch amounted
to fully fifty sea otter and 100 sealskins
all OF which were valued at $4,000. 1t wa:
impossible to get list of the dead from
the survivors who reached Kodiak on &C
count of their weak physical condition.
In the same gale the schooner Kodiak OF
! Iktalik Island, twelve miles from kodial
Island, went ashore and will probably
prove total loss. All of her cargo hac
been landed except twenty-five tons, which
was gotten ashore after the wreck in &
damaged condition. The crew reached
shore safely, except the captain, who had
his leg bruised.
Advices from Ounalaska state gale
prevailed generally along the coast and
was the severest known in the history ot
Alaska. No other fatalities were reported
At Yakutat the following sealing schoon
ers were in port: Aurora SO skins, Bea
trice l2O, Maud S. 245, and Helen with II
skins
In addition to the wreckage reported in
the CALL dispatches as having been found
in the possession of Indians on Charlotte
Island, the medicine chest and several
other articles from the steamer Montserrat
were found by T. Patchion, who was in 8
small schooner on Etallne Island, Clarence
straits, February 2S. This wreckage
drifted fully 700 miles to the northwest
through narrow passages and among num-
erous islands from where the two collier:
are supposed to have foundered off Cape
Flattery A copper-plate from the medi-
cine chest was brought here by Captain
Wallace of the steamer Topeka.

SEATTLE'S BOGUS LORD.
An ImperSonator of Lord
Sholto Douglas Comes
to Grief.
Compelled to Disclose His Real
Identity In Order to Have a
Bank Check Honored.

SEATTLE, WASH, May IA bogus
Lord Sholto Douglas has been in this city
ever since the arrival of the American
Gaiety Company, but his real identity
was not made known until to-day, when
he applied to Dexter, Horton & Co. IS bank
for $500. He goes under the name of R..
Wyndham, and is a smooth-faced young
fellow with fine English swagger and a
face that at once recalls the picture of Lord
Sholto as printed by the CALL.
The supposed scion of nobility followed
the Gaiety Company to the Hotel North
ern, engaged the best suite of rooms to be
had, and startled the clerk by carelessly
throwing several hundred dollars in gold
and silver across the counter, remarking:
Look after that till tomorrow" He had
an air OF deep mystery and pocketful Of
coin. For the men of the company he
bought champagne, and the women he
entertained daily at wine dinners.
He was voted jolly good lord, and en-
couraged the report that he was the true
Sholto, fleeing to Puget Sound from his
tormentors.
Wyndham told the people of his ex-
periences in Bakersfield and in England
and abhorred the mention OF Lord Alfred
Douglas trouble in connection with the
Wilde case.
TO-DAY he had to draw on San Fran
cisco bank for money, and in order to have
his draft honored had to disclose his real
name. Then it was discovered that he
had been playing false role, and Seattle
society has not yet recovered from the
shock.

rUIARE SUPERVISORS YIN.
RoIdorer Of1ctats to DrdtC the Same

Salary as Those NelCiy Elected.
vIsALIA, CAL, May Judge Jacobs
OF Kings County presided in Department 2
of the Superior Court to-day in the place
of Judge Gray while the case of S. NJ. Gil
liam, Supervisor, VS.. e. NJ. Jefferds, Au-
ditor, was being heard. In this case the
plaintiff demanded a writ of mandate COM
manding the County Auditor to draw war
rants on the county for $50 for each OF the
months OF January, February and March,
1895, as salary of plaintiff as Supervisor
and Road Commissioner of Tulare County.
The writ of mandate was granted by
Judge Jacobs.
This decision will settle the question Of
salaries OF Supervisors 1t was contended
by the Auditor that only the two Super
visors elected last Noyember-Gr -Grimsley
and Ellis-could draw the salary of $50 a
month, beginning January 1, 1895 as pro-
vided for in law passed by the Legisla-
ture Of 1898. Supervisor Gillian held that
the law increased the pay of the three Su-
pervisors-Henderson, Twaddle and Gil
hsm-who held over. The decision given
to-day gives the three holdover Supervisors
the same salary as the newly elected ones.
