Mr.. w. B. Thompson, one year ago

past spring had the hay cut. He is
Wen pleased with the crop, and has
the following to say regarding his
experience
'On the goth Of August, 1891, I
planted one-cighteenth OF an acre in
crimson clover. The land had been
well prepared. No effort was made to
cover the seed as 1 had no roller. An
early rain soon brought up the seed
and the plants grew rap.aly. The soil
was rich and the clover stood the un
usually severe winter remarkably well.
Ihe clover furnished good pasture for

price in the old days Then it dropped
to one-twelfth and finally when comrc-
tltlon was sharp got down to one
twentieth. When cotton was 10 cents
that paid 50 to 81. 80 n bale. One gin
ner now proposes to gin bale and

 The Times says: When the bulletins of the New York Times announced yesterday evening that the Defender had won the first race of the America's cup Associ- ated Press papers were trying to make the thousands who stood in and around Printing House square and Park row believe that the Valkyrie had such lead that the nations hope had no chance for realization.

THRIY-FNE MEN DOOMED TO DEATH
The Fire in the 0sceola Mine Is Thought to . Have Been the Work of an h.

Houghton, Mich, Sept. s.-It is now positively known that thirty-five doomed men are entombed in the Osceola mine with no possibility of recovering their bodies until the fire Is extinguished, which may not be for months. It is the opinion of some of the oldest employees Of the mine that the fire was the work of an incendiary. All of the doomed miners might have escaped had they needed the warning, as Captain Edward. who was the first to detect the fire, dis patched messengers to every slope where the miners were known to be working.
 Captain White descended with Anton Eycsk, who had left his father in a lower level but Eycsk lost his head, and find ing him unmanageable Captain White abandoned him to his fate pushed to- ward the south workings of the mine and reached the surface in safety the only one of the party In No. 1 to escape
 Twenty of the thirty-five are married men, and most of them have large fam flies.
