DEATH OF 4 FAMOUS GANDER
He Was Decoy lowl Noted for the Sue
cess of His Methods.

He Was a Decoy Ioyl Noted for the Sue
cess of His Methods.
The sad news of the death of old
| ''Mingo" has come to the gunners along
the line of the Old Colony road, and if
he was only gander he had host CT
friends, says the Boston Globe. He has
been at Widgeon point at the lake now
for more than thirty years and was one
of the wisest and most deceptive birds
that ever decoyed the northern wan
derer from his journey to the guns Of
the sportsmen.
Old Mingo gained his name many
years ago from the remark of one Of
! the gunners who was shooting over
him. 1t was about the time of the
bloody revolution in San Domingo. The
old chap was struck by stray shot,
and the gunner picked him up and took
| him into the pen with all the solicitude
of true sportsman. There was blood
on the gunner's hands and tears in his
eyes, and from that day the old chap
island on which so much blood was be-
| ing split.
| When the other decoys were unable
| to entice the northern strangers from
their course, old Mingo was tried, and
he seldom if ever failed of attracting
their attention and gaining their good
| will, for the time being at least.
Whether he had peculiar tone to his
voice or whether he was professional
''masher" will never be known, but his
record was second to none along the
shores of that sportsmens paradise, and
| the gunners had all the game they
wanted if Mingo could catch the atten-
| ton of the geese.
After his long and faithful service
old Mingo seemed to know just how to
work and when to put in his very best
efforts. His ideas of enticing the geese
seemed based on principles which were
on a good foundation. He seldom
failed, and the old fellow has made
| money for his owners and lots of sport
| for the best gunners in the county. Ii
| there was tenderfoot in the SHOOTING
| camp he was cautioned to look out and
not hit Mingo, but he at last fell vic
tim to the gun of an amateur who was
| somewhat excited
Mingo was owned by Thomas Arnold,
of North Arlington, and Mr.. Arnold
| says that if man should have offered
him two hundred dollars for the bird it
would have been no temptation to him.
| Mingo was just what he wanted, and
the most knowing bird in the county.
The gunners gave Mingo a Christian
burial, and he now rests in grave dug
for him near his happy hunting ground.

movable motors is in use during the win
ter for furnishing power for brewery
and distillery located near one of the
farms.
The employment of electrical power
IN farm work has several advantages
over the use of portable steam engines.
The motor cars are considerably lighter
and are easier to transport from one
place to another. There is no hauling
of coal and water required, and no
time is lost in firing up. 1t also re-
duces the danger Of setting fire to
grain stacks and barns.
In this country, where there are so
many small coal mines, many of which
are not large enough to be recognized
as railroad shipping points, it is sug-
gested that similar plants, not only for
agricultural, but also for smaller in
dustrial purposes, might prove practic-
able and profitable for the small man
ufacturers and farmers of the surround
ing district, as well as for the coal
miner,

ELECTRICITY IN FARMING.
Description OF a Plant Successfully OPP
Grated in Austria.


Grated in Austria.
During the summer OF 1694a new and
successful attempt was made to intro
duce electricity for power transmission
in farming, and the result has been SO
satisfactory that it is worthy of wide
attention.
The experiment was made in Aus
tria. The plant consists OF central
station operated in connection with a
planning mill, located near the center of
the estate. From the central station
two power circuits of a total length OF
about six miles are operated. One Of
these furnishes current for a grist
mill, a farm and dairy. The other
circuit supplies two separate farms.
At the grist mill, which is ordinarily
run by water power, the motor is
used only at such time of the year
when the water power is unavailable.
At the dairy there is a 10 horsepower
motor running pump and different
smaller appliances. At each of the
farms is IL horsepower motor mount
ed on movable truck and built over
to protect it against the weather. This
motor is moved from one part of the
farm or field to another, wherever
power is required for running thresh-
ing machines, pumps, straw-cutters,
etc. Along the edge of the fields is
placed the electric circuit, consisting
of bare copper wires supported on
glass insulators. BY means of fex-
ible cable the motor can be connected
up at any part of the field where its
service is required.
When, in the fall, the threshing is
finished the motor cars are brought
back to the farmyards and used for op-
Grating irrigation pumps. One of these

make the crop if the water can be llus-
banded until time OF need. This can
be done by breaking up the hard :. j.
soil, SO as to enable it to hold greater
quantity of moisture. This will 90 no
good, however, unless there is outlet
beneath for the surplus water 10 pass
away. Stagnant water is death to the
roots of most kinds Of valuable crops.
When a field is undetermined, one
thorough subsoiling will keep the soil
deep and moist for many years. The
frost penetrates a drained soil, and
this keeps it's particles from running
together in a solid mass, as soil does
when water is allowed to become stag
nant in it.

DIVERSIFIED FARMING.
Why 1t Pays to Raise Grass, Grain and
Stock Together.

The growing Of grass and grain and
the feeding Of them out to stock on the
farm go well together. 1t is an item to
grow the largest crops of grain and
grass and to market them so as to re-
ceive the most for them. The manure
from the stock is needed to keep up the
fertility of the soil in order to grow
good crops, and selling the crops in a
more concentrated form of meat, milk,
butter and wool secures a better price
than if sold in market whole. Both
manure for fertilizing and better
prices for the grain and grass can best
be secured by feeding what is grown tc
good growthy animals until they are
ready for market and then selling.
1t has been said over and over the
larger the growth and yield of the
crops the more stock it is possible to
keep and feed and the more stock fed
the more manure secured and the more
manure the richer the soil and the bet
ter the crops. But nearly every farmer
OF experience knows that even with
the best of management it is difficult,
IL 1oG 1LilPOoolDIc, W save d SuluCleut
amount of manure from the stock that
can be fed with what is grown on the
average farm to keep up the fertility
1t can be made the principal depend
ence, but in majority of cases if the
land is built up, green manuring, using
commercial fertilizers, or purchasing
feed so as to keep larger number of
stock will be necessary.
The growing of variety of crops
and the feeding out to different kinds
of stock not only offers better oppor-
tunity to keep up the fertility of the
farm and secure better prices for the
products, but it materially lessons the
risk of failure and gives more steady
income, while what is grown can al
ways be used to better advantage
and the stock be ted and prepared for
market at less cost.-N. J. Shepherd,

of her speech Nine. Modjeska said
81 shall not dwell upon the develop

They (the Russians) have laughed to
scorn the belief that there ever was a
Polish nation. They have restricted,
if not wholly prohibited, the use Of
our language. Under such conditions,
could there be any organized effort

1--WE have had a constant struggle
for independence. An unholy alli-
Jance was formed to crush out our
country. rob it of it's free government
and destroy our institutions. The

destroyed Poland, but her women
have stood guard at the gates of their
country, 1t, was, she who preserved
patriotism and honor in spite of ST.
IBERIA, and what is worse, the lash, to
the everlasting disgrace of the Rus
sian government. Our enemies make
a mistake. if they think they have de-
stroyed us. AS long as Polish
woman lives, Poland will live. We
may have .merited punishment for
our frailties. God knows, may be
we have. We have heard much of
the Roman and Spartan mothers.
That is well; but 1 hope the world will
hear more of the Polish mother

HIS WIFE BETRAYED HIM.
Sensational Scene in An Express
Robbery Case.

4 Robbery Case.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April A.-Con-
siderable of a sensation was caused in
the law office of Fox & Moore this
afternoon while Mrs. Charles A.
:Ketcham, wife Of the man suspected
of robbing the Adams Express com
pany of $4,000 in 1892, was giving her
deposition in the matter of the rob-
berry. Ketcham, who was under the
influence of liquor, forced his way into
the Office, and would have killed his
wife had he not been overpowered
and thrown to the floor, where he
was pinioned and then taken to the
police station.
The Wells-Fargo Express company.
which was the original carrier of the
two packages containing $50 900 stolen
from the Adams Express company be-
tween Cincinnati and New Orleans
sued the latter company to recover the
amount which it (the Wells-Fargo)
had made goood to the shipper. Com
promise negotiations were proceeding
and Mrs. Ketcham's deposition had
just been read to her preparatory to
her signing it. The paper not only
charged Ketcham, who was the mess
enger of the Adams company when
the robbery occurred, with the rob-
berry, but entered into details as to the
manner in which the robbery was
committed and the money concealed.
Ketcham received an inkling of his
.wffe's deposition, and it was to pre-
vent her signing the document that he
tried to kill her. The suit of the Wells
Fargo company is to be withdrawn.
and the Adams company agrees to
some compromise, the terms of which
are not known here Final settlement
has been made in st. Louis.

Charges of Fraud in the Manage

CHICAGO, April 24.-William S.
Gould has filed a bill in the circuit
court in which he makes charges of
mismanagem against the officers of
the Western Bank Note and Engrav-
ing company. He also makes charges
against the president, c. c. Cheney,
and Francis A. Riddle, the attorney OF
the company, saying that they have
defrauded the stockholders OF the COM
pany out of $4,000 by a real estate
transaction. Gould. who is the treas
urer of the company, AYERS that when
he examined the books of the concern
after entering upon his duties he found
that the account of the outgoing
treasurer Charles Chapman, :. was
overdrawn by $4,000. He asked Chap
man for an explanation, and was told
that the other officials of the concern
had taken about $4,000 apiece out of
the business and he had taken the
same just to keep his account even
with theirs. In conclusion, the COM
plainant declares that the assets OF
the Western Bank Note company are
being diverted to Cheney's account in
the st. Louis Bank Note company, and
he asks for an injunction which will
keep the money where it belongs.

GROVER DISTURBED.
Disposed to Intervene to Secure
Leniency for Nicaragua.


Leniency for Nicaragua.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, April PA special
to the Republic from Washington says:
The president is much concerned over
the situation in Nicaragua. Secretary
Gresham, this morning, after inter
viewing Sir Julian Pauncefote, the
British ambassador, and the Nicara-
guam minister, DR.. GuZman, drove out
to Woodley, and laid before President
Cleveland the latest phase of the In
demnity trouble. One by one the men,
special meeting was convened shortly
after noon. The outcome of the dis
cussion is understood to be that the
administration is disposed to use it's
good offices between Nicaragua and
Great Britain, so far as it consistently
can.
President Cleveland feels that as
matters now stand the United States
can do nothing except to request Lord
Kimberly not to force settlement of
the indemnity in a summary manner,
but to permit a sufficient time to elapse
in order that Nicaragua may emerge
from the controversy without preju-
dice, to the national dignity.
1t is understood that Secretary
Gresham communicated with Sir
Julian Pauncefote on this subject to-
night. If the British foreign office
shall agree to the suggestion of the
president the incident will probably be
closed within the next fortnight by a
compliance on the part of Nicaragua
with Great Britain's terms.

NO FUNDS FOR THE SCHOOL,
Leland Stanford University May
Be COnDeiIed to Close

,
Be Compelled to Close.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, April "a
The Bulletin this evening says: The
teachers at Stanford university are
looking for positions in other univer-
stiles on the impression the universi-
ty founded by Leland Stanford will
soon close it's doors. They fear the
college will close because there is no
money in the Stanford estate to pay
for it's maintenance, the estate being
tangled up in a suit with the United
States, which is going on in the fed
eral courts. The probate court has no
power to use the funds of the state to
keep the college on a firm footing.
Some time ago the estate began to sell
the brandieS and wines that have ac-
cumulated in the wineries of the eS-
tate, and the money derived from the
estate was to be used in defraying the
expenses of the institution. Mean
while all the expenses of the univer-
sity have had to be betrayed from the
private income of Mrs. Stanford. Just
as the Stanford properties were being
put on firSt-class business basis
Attorney General Olney started his
big suit for S15,OO0,000 against the STAN
IOib OSldle. his ndu the effect of
checking proceedings in probate look
ing to a speedy distribution of Senator
Stanford's estate and tying up things
generally. 1t was this, so it is said.
coupled with the previous feeling of
unrest that has prevailed to a greater
or less degree ever since the senator's
death, that stimulated some of the
educators to seek openings elsewhere.
and set in circulation the report the
university is likely to be closed for a
season
When asked as to this matter TODAY
MT. Lathrop said: It's all this gov
eminent suit. If it succeeds, it seems
seems inevitable that the university
must be closed. AS it is, it has tied
up the estate in probate and prevented
distribution of the estate, so that it
may seriously embarrass us. We are
pressing the suit and wish to have II
determined as early as possible IF
must be remembered the university
cannot pay its own expenses. for the
institution IS free. The board from the
department manages to paw it's own
expenses, but that has nothing TO do
+ with paying the professors. There are
now somewhere near LOO students
connected with the university and
ABOUT 10 men in the faculty."
