Sprouted. Potatoes.

1t is well known that seed potatoes
which are stored for late planting
often become soft, while much of their
nutritive matter Is exhausted in de-
veluping the sprouts which must be
broken off in planting. The first sprout
is always the strongest and thriftiest,
but it often happens that these sprouts
have to be removed several times be-
fore the potatoes are planted. and
each time some of the vitality of the
tubers is lost. A comparative test was
made by Prof. TAFT at the Michigan
experiment station last year, when
two equal lots of potatoes We're taken,
one being left in the cellar the other
spread in Il dry. well lighted. moder-
ately warm room. On April 20 both
lots We're planted side by side and the
plants from the unsprouted seed came
up first. looked the best throughout
the season. and produced greater
amount of potatoes and n greater pro-
portion of large ones with fewer ILL
shaped tubers. OF course. it hardly
needed an experiment to demonstrate
the superiority of unsprouted seed.
but since no one can afford to grow
anything but the very best crops it
would seem to be worth while to take
every precaution to prevent sprouting.

Protecting Melon and Cucum her
Vines.

The worst enemy the cucumber,
squash. pumpkin, and melon vines
have is the little striped beetle. 1t
not only eats the pulp from the under
side of the leaves, but destroys the
stalk, and If the soil is loose 1t eats
the stalk below the grotnd; there
fore 1t is difficult matter TO fight 1t
with Insecticides. For n garden where
less than two dozen hills are planted,
tho safest and cheapest way to pro-
tect the vines is by n covering of mos
quito netting or cheese cloth, cut into
pieces Is or 20 inches square. These.

first dipped in oil and wrung as dry
as possible. Now take a piece of No.

little striped beetles. Cucumbers can
thus be protected until they send out
laterals, and even IL the vines press
against the top and sides it does not

OUR DRINKING WATER.
1t Is Filled With Impurities in Every
Part of the Land.

New York City on a recent day consumed
n, 900 900 gallons of water. At least one mill
lion gallons of impurities were contained IN
this quantity. 1t is, therefore, not surprlElngl
that the question of purity of drinking water
has invaded the business Office. Rich men
who are yexed by slight physical ailments, OF
who are the victims of nervous troubles, are
not slow to discover that there is danger In the
water cooler. Many of them have their water
boiled and chilled by refrigeration before they
will drink it. Others have in their private
offices jars of mineral waters Many bank and
railroad presidents are particular about hay
ing the water they drink free from poisonous
germs. People who would avoid the dangers
which arise from water impurities at all tines
should make practice of taking little pure
whisky each day. Even should germs have IN
yaded the system this will effectually destroy
them. 1t will keep the blood free from faint
and in healthy motion.
Great care should be taken, however, to have
only pure whisky, and it should be remem-
bered that there is but one acknowledged pure
medicinal whisky, and that is Duffy's Pure
Malt. 1t is not like other whiskies 1t is palat-
able strengthening, nourishing, and does just
what is claimed for it. Do not permit any one
to convince you otherwise.

BRIBERY At SACRAMENTO,
Grand Jury Investigation of
Charges Made by City
Trustees.
They Claim They We've Offered
Money to Secure the Award
of a Contract.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April Is. = The
Grand Jury to-day began an investigation
of the charges made by several of the City
Trustees, to the effect that they had been
offered brides to award contracts to a GER
tain pump company. The investigation
was based upon statements published in
the Sunday News of yesterday, and which
are admitted by Trustees Devine, Davis
and Kent. The officials refused to divulge
the names of the party who attempted to
bride them, upon the ground that, as the
proposition relied upon was made to each
individually, without other witnesses, it
would be idle to say anything.
1t was nearly a quarter of century ago
when the Holly Pump Company sold a
pump, with a capacity of 100000 gallons
daily, to the city, for $4,000. The COM
pany's bid for a 5000, 600 gallon pump this
year is only S12, 800, and it is claimed that
considerable sums were divided among
certain parties at the time the former con-
tract was awarded.
The Grand Jury has been looking into
all these matters and has secured consider
able information, but whether it is enough
on which to base an indictment is, sof
course, not known

SAN D|EGAHS FLEECED.
CONSERVATION Caused by the
Departure of a Trance
Medium.
Scores of People Found to Have
Contributed Their Gold to
His Golfers.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, April 15.-Great con-
sternation has been caused in certain
circles over the continued absence of
the trance medium. Peter West. All
sorts of rumors have been flying since
Saturday, when he failed to appear
from Escondido, where he went to spend
two days. Among the reports circulated
was one that lady. widowed against her
will, had paid the medium $500 in jewelry
and cash to seek out her recreant husband
and the $4,000 be took with him.
Investigation showed that scores of peo-
pie, mostly women had been voluntary
patrons of the medium. A constant stream
of visitors called at his apartments,
and at the close of the day the
seer would call in man living
in the house to assist him in counting his
money. Vests income for the first three
days he opened up business here was $500,
and he received steadily from $50 to SIS
per day.
President Rogers of the spiritual So
ciety read letter from West at Sunday
nights meeting, in which the seer said
that he must go to Denver to rescue
the young man Harry Waite, who
was in trouble, and asked for the
prayers of the brethren and sisters in his
mission, stating that he would be back very
soon. The members of the society firmly
believe that their hero will return.

THE BULL THAT FAILED.
Il Grizzly Bear Who Did Not Come to
Time In MeEic0.

LAREDO, TEX, April 15.--The fight be-
tween the California grizzly Ramidan and
the Mexican fighting bull Panther took
place to-day as advertised, in the bull-ring
in New Laredo, Mexico; but though it
pleased the crowd, it was not much of a
fight after all. Great CONSERVATION was
caused once when the bear, being pursued
in one of the corners by the bulls mad
rushes, proceeded to climb out over the top
of the cage. The people made a rush for
the top railing, and had not the bear, fail
ing to get over the barbed top OF the cage,
quietly gone down the way he went up
many would have jumped down twenty
five feet to the outside.
The bull was fine animal and was the
aggressive party throughout. When the
bear was first let through the trapdoor
the bull Immediately made terrific as
sault, and the bear, completely dunn
founded, took q sneak several times
around the ring. Finally the bull made a
plunge on the bears short ribs, greatly
embarrassing the grizzly. Though the
bull, under much prodding, renewed the
attack some dozen times the bear failed to
show fight excepting in about three in
stances.
The crowd seemed to enjoy it and their
shouts could be heard for mile away, but
as a fight it was failure. The style of the
combatants was entirely different. The
bear is the same that fought the lion "Par-
nell" on April /, but the cage was much
enlarged for this event, being thirty feet
in diameter, perfectly round, and fifteen
feet high. Anything with bull in it
pleases the Mexicans, and fight of great
interest will take place in Monterey, Mex
leo, next Sunday, when one of the best
fighting bulls is going against lion in the
same cage. After the fight the bull was
very lively. 1t is reported that the bear
died an hour after as the result of his pun
ishment.

MACEO WAS THE LEADER
He Will Probably Be Garroted
as Punishment for His
MiSdeedS.
in Cuba Is Reported
to Be at an End for the
Present.

HAVANA, CUBA, April 15.-Maceo was
the leader of the rebel forces with Gomez
during the last revolution. Though but a
youth he achieved considerable distinction.
AT the outbreak of this revolution Maceo
landed at Baracoa on March 81. With him
were following of the officers of the rebel
army: Brigadier-General Flor Crombet,
General Jose E. Maceo, Colonel Augustine
Celreco. Colonel Patrice Corona, Frank
Agramonte, Pedro Duvergar, Jose Marti,
Juan Justicer, Joaquin Sanchez, Jorge Es-
trada, Adolfo Pena, Domingo Guzman,
Jose Palacin, Jesus Maria Santana, Alberto
Boy, Luis Carmel, Manuel Ganda, Juan
Limonta. Isadora Noriega, J. L. Jarvey,
Silverio Sanchez and Louis Soler.
Maceo's fate is known in advance It
would have been far better for him if he
had been killed as was Crombet, than
brought to Havana and put in the old
MORO Castles gloomy prison. He will be
kept there some time and then possibly be
given mock trial. 1t is certain he will
be garroted. 1--WE have no need of Campos
and his troops now" said Spanish officer
when he heard of Maceo's capture and
Crombet's death.
Consul-General WllllamS is preparing for
an early departure, and Vice-Consul
Springer assumes the duties of the office at
once. Calleia, captain-general of Cuba,
who is in supreme authority until the ar
rival of Campos who by the royal proc
lamation is commander whenever he lands,
confirmed the capture of Maceo and added
that all of the filibustering is nearly at an
end. Calleja was highly gratified that the
revolution had been put down without the
aid OF Campos' troops.
"When the Americans see how easily we
can crush the rebels here in the island
without the aid of the home troops or with
only few of them, you will realize the
amount of anarchistic sentiment here has
been exaggerated greatly" said Calleja.
"Tell your people," he added, "that Cuba
is loyal to Spain and Spain has never op-
pressed the island as reported"
Resuming the discussion of the battle at
Palmerito Caileia said that he had official
information concerning the capture of
Maco and the killing of Brigadier-General
Flor Crombet. Also he had news that the
Spanish loss was little, while the rebels
met with overwhelming defeat

GREAT MEETING TO-DAY.
Enthusiasm and EloquenCe
Were With Difficulty Held
in Restraint.
A RECEPTION TO STATESMEN.
Handshakings That Lasted Two
Hours and We're Finally Crowded
Into a Narrow Limit.

DENVER, CoLo., April 15.-An immense
throng tonight congregated at the Brown
Palace Hotel to greet the two champions
OF silver, ex-Congressman ]. G. Sibley and
General A. j. Warner, and to extend to
them hearty welcome to the State. The
rotunda of the hotel had oeen profusely
decorated with flags and plants, while over
the entrance, where the guests of the
evening were standing. had been draped
with two large American flags joined at the
top by large shield made in imitation OF
the silver dollar. Each gallery of the seven
floors was crowded, while the floor of the
rotunda was packed by eager people of
both sexes, all anxious to do homage to the
SCARED veterans of the silver cause.
AT 8:15 P. NJ. the First Regiment band of
the Colorado National Guard announced
the approach of the guests. Their appear
ance was greeted by burst of applause.
Governor Mcintyre introduced the two
gentlemen whose coming had caused such
an outpouring. Ex-Congressman Sibley
was the first to respond to the introduction
and while, as he said, it was not an occa-
sion for speech-making, still he could not
refrain from saying few words in regard
to silver. He stopped himself, however,
before he had fairly entered into the sub
ject, and invited all his hearers to attend
the great meeting to be held tomorrow.
General Warner followed, and in few
words thanked the audience for the recep-
ton and the enthusiasm displayed. Both
speakers seemed so full of their subject
that it was with difficulty that they re-
Trained from making lengthy addresses.
After the Introduction a line was formed
and the crowd filed by the two gentlemen
to shake their hands. There was such a
jam that single line could not be main
tanned and the people blocked up three
and four deep. AS Mr.. Sibley remarked,
Everything that Colorado does she does
with rush" For over two hours the
handshaking was continued, and when the
exhausted statesmen retired every one who
had the patience to wait had the pleasure
of pressing the hand and receiving pleas
ant word from two of the foremost states
men in the country.

NOT MERCHANTS OF BOISE
Chinese Make False Entry to
Gain Admission to North
ern Ports.
One of the Culprits Is Captured and
Other Arrests Are to Be
Made.

BOISE, IDAHO, April 15.-Deputy United
States Marshal John Hunter returned to-
day from the Sound, having in custody one
of the Chinese recently arrested there for
trying to gain admission on fraudulent GER
titicates that they were merchants. This
Chinese is the only one of the lot who was
ever in Boise, though their certificates
represented them all as Boise merchants.
1t is thought the prisoner may have taken
certificates to the Chinese, but the princi-
pal expectation of the officers is that he
can be induced to tell who manipulated
the fraud.
The whole matter has been turned over
to the Federal Grand Jury, which is now
investigating. The stories told by differ
ent ones concerned are very conflicting
and if some are found to be true others
must be branded as false by the same
proof. 1t is difficult to see how all can es-
cape trouble with the Government.

SAN JOSE, Call. April 15.-George P.
Smell, manager of the Hotel Vendome,
swore to complaint before Justice Dwyer
this morning charging John and Henry
Harris with beating the hotel out of a
board bill. The HAIRLESS, as reported in a
dispatch to the CALL yesterday, came here
about a week ago and ran up a board bill
of $51. The men also rented bicycles at a
local agency, and after returning one of
the wheels left the other as security for
bill of drinks. The two men succeeded In
doing the town up to the extent of about
500 and left for unknown parts Friday
morning.
This afternoon Chief Kidward received
word that the two men were stopping at

rant has been forwarded to San Francisco,
and they will be arrested and brought back

FOREoLOsURE SUIT BEG UN.
an Action an Which San Jose Insurance
agents lire Made Parties.


agents IRE Made Parties.
SAN JOSE, CAL, April 15.-Mary c..
and Robert Green have commenced suit
against Emma L. and f. C. Dubois for the
foreclosure of mortgage OF 500, with in
terest at 8 per cent. Wooster & Wilton,
agents of the North British and Mercantile
Insurance Company, are made parties to
the suit, in that it is held that $3.50 insur-
ance about to be paid the defendants was
secured to guarantee the payment of the
mortgage.
Francis Myers loaned the defendants
5000 with interest at per cent on May 1,
1892, and at different times the loan was
increased to 1910. AT the death of Myers
in 1894 Mary G. Robert inherited the mort
gage in question and later became the wife
of Nathaniel Green. 1t was the under
standing when the mortgage, which COW
cred house and lot in Bradlee's addition,
was executed, that the defendants were to
keep the house insured in a sum sufficient
to cover the mortgage at their own
expense.
The house was destroyed by fire last
week and the plaintiff wants an injunction
to stop the payment of the insurance
money, as not more than $500 could be re-
allied from the sale of the lot

named Clausen, who returned home with
him. Clausen happened to be passing
Conrad's residence last evening about
o'clock and knocked at the door. There
was faint response from Conrad that he
was sick and could not get up to open the
door.
Soon after the police were notified and
the patrol wagon was dispatched to the
scene. Conrad must have died soon after
Clausen left his residence, for when Officers
Hamburg and Anderson knocked on the
door at o'clock there was no response.
The door was broken open and Conrad was
found dead in bed
