AFTER 25 YEARS
Two Lost Daughters Turn up and De.
mand the Property Lett by
Their Nathan


A peculiar case has come mp by way of
Alliance. Mrs. Hattie Glen and Mrs. Emma
Eckroad, of Baltimore Nd, appeared at
Alliance Saturday hunting for their mother.
Mrs Ferrington. Jud Lewis was consulted
andIhe said she died in 1889. The Baltimore
women said they were her daughters and were
looking up her estate. Mrs. Ferrington's
right name was, Mary A. Furney. She was
the daughter of a Ravenna man and married
man named Honeywell, who died leaving
her $40. Then she married an Alliance man
named Furney, After his death she came
to Canton and died in 1889. By her Honey
well union two daughters were born who early
LETT home and were never heard of later.
After Mrs. Furney's death DIR. Maxwell,
then in Canton, was made administrator and
later j. n. Ramsey, of North Market street,
was given the charge.
Mr.. Ramsey settled up affairs and had S225
left.
The women from Baltimore with Jud Lewis
came to Canton Monday. They found the
final account had not been filed in the probate
office and then they hunted up Mr.. Ramsey.
Mr. Ramsey showed doCuments which told
that one Ida Van Nostran, of Pittsburg, had
appeared shortly after Mrs. Furneys death
and claimed to be the only living heir. The
estate was paid to her.
1t is also stated that Mr.. Ramsey holds a
deed for $4,000 worth of land in Michigan in
the name of Mrs. Furney. The women who
claim to be her daughters by the first husband
and who have not been heard of for 20 years
say they are determined to have the value of
the property left.

LAID TO REST.
Appropriate Obsequies in Honor Of the
Late Lamented Rev. Peter
Herbrnck.

The last sad rites over the body of the
late Rev. Peter Herbruck were performed
Tuesday afternoon under the direction of
Rev. +. Strassner. At 80 p. m, private
services for the family were held at the
late residence of the deceased, and consist
ed of singing, praying and short address
by Revs. Strassner and Gloss, of Wads-
worth.
After the private services, the body was
taken to the Trinity Reformed church by
eight pail bearers, chosen from the minis
try of the Reformed church. At the
church, services were conducted by Rev.
Strassner and were of a simple though
touching nature. Rev. Strassner read the
nineteenth psalm, after which Rev. Ken
dig, of Chicago former pastor of Trim
ity church, led in prayer.
Rev. j. A. Keller, of Hartville, repre-
senting Central Synod and St. Johns
classes of which the deceased was a
member, then spoke Of his pleasant rela-
tions with the same.
Rev. DIR. Willard, of Akron, represent
ing the Ohio Synod and TuscarawCa
classes, within whose bounds the deceased
lived and of which his son, Rev. Emil
Herbruck, is member, spoke of the gen,
eral work Of the church, and told how In
every one of its departments some benefit
had been received through labors of the
deceased.
Rev. Bauslin, In behalf of the city pas.
tors, extended sympathy to the bereaved
family and pointed out how much good
had been received by city and church
through the unceasing efforts of the de,
ceased. The services were then concluded
by the reading of memorial of the de

New Onion Culture.

Fourteen varieties of onions were
tested at the Michigan station. 1t is re-
ported in a bulletin from this station
that quantity of Prize Taker onions
were transplanted with very satisfactory
results. The method is to be recon-
mended where extensive truck farming
is carried on or where superior quail.
ity Of onions is desired. General truck
growers may find the method profita-
BILE, since at present prices only the
grower who succeeds in raising q very
large number Of bushels Of first class
onions to the acre can hope to grow the
crop profitably. None of the new vari-
cites is equal to the old standard kinds,
and for the main crop Red Wethersfeld,
Yellow DanYers and Southport White
Globe are still to be recoinmended. In
the northern part Of the state or on
cold, mucky soil Extra Early Red sue
ceeds best, and because of it's milder
flavor it is sometimes preferred in other
localities.

CoVarInC EnaIlape.

The best covering is one that is cool
and moist while at the same time ex-
Guiding air the best. Many have used
very successfully green or even wet
weeds and grass. This soon rots suffi-
ciently to form an almost impervious
stratum over the surface Usually about
two feet Of tramped damp green ma
terial is used. 1t is expected Of course
that this will all rot down into a soft,
Shiny mass. If the heat is very great in
the silo, which it is likely to be if the
material put in is rather dry, this COW
ering may become fire fanged and dry
instead Of rotten. The object Of using
water and trampling ensilage is to cause
better solidifcation, thereby excluding
more air than if left unwet and un-
tramped and to arrest the heating Of the
material.
Ensilage appears to be better if it
heats after being put in the silo, but
this heating should be arrested in a
short time, or it will produce mold. As
to the quantity Of water, that should
depend altogether ON the character of
the material put in. Only Judgment can
direct this matter. If the corn is quite
immature, there should be no occasion
for watering it, If it is mature and dry,
then it would bear considerable water,
especially at the surface There are nc
exact experiments as yet which indicate
what method should be practiced OF
what material should be used in cover,
ing q silo to secure best results. .-Coun,

THE MODERN CORN BINDER.

Its Use and the Manner of Operating II
as Described by American Agriculturist.
The great American money crop is
corn. A loss or partial failure Of sim
gle crop amounts toa calamity. Ma
chinery for preparing the ground, plant
ing the seed and cultivating the grow
ing plant has been improved upon, but
the one great drawback is the lack Of q
practical implement for husking stand
ing corn. This has not yet appeared.
However, the same object is being par
tally accomplished in somewhat
roundabout way by means Of the corn
binder and the combined husker and
fodder shredder All corn cannot be
busked by this plan, as ii necessitates
cutting, shocking and running the cured
fodder through the husker, but improved
corn binders have made this practice
more common than would have been
possible few years ago. The greater
appreciation for corn fodder and its
wide use have created demand for
better corn harvesting machinery.
Several firms have produced corn
binders which are on the market this
season. These operate on practically the
same principle, differing in hstails of
construction. The machine is drawn by
two horses and cuts one row at time
The stalks are cut off near the ground,
or about 18 inches above it, and carried,
standing on end, in an upright position,
to a modified form Of the ordinary bar-
vester binder and bound in bundles,
common binding twine being used. The
bundles are then discharged to one side,
leaving room for the machine to pass in
cutting the next row. 1t can be adjusted
to short or tall corn and tilted up OF
down in order to pick up fallen or lean.
ing stalks. The bundles are shocked
much as are wheat sheaves.
Sorghum, Kaffir corn, Milo maize
and similar forage plants have been
successfully harvested with the corr
binder. II ordinary shock corn is dc.
sired, begin cutting when the blades
have begun to turn, which in centra,
latitudes during an ordinary season i:
about Sept. to 10. Place the bundles
in good sized shocks, taking care not tc
make them too large if the weather il
damp and cloudy. When they have
cured sufficiently, haul to the barnyart
and run the fodder through a huskel
and shredder. The ears will come ou
nicely cleaned, the leaves and stalk
torn and broken and in excellent condi
tion for stock feed.
This material was used extensively
last season because Of poor hay crol
and scarcity Of grain and was highl!
praised. If the crop is wanted chief!
for the fodder, cut the corn greener, pu
up in smaller shocks and when curet
run through the shredder. The shredded
fodder had better be stored in the hay
NOW or hay shed. 1t can be stacke'
out Of doors, but the stack must be vel
topped out with slough grass or som
material which will shed the rain. TIL
machine is also widely used for cuttin
ensilage corn.

SEED BED FOR WINTER WHEAT.
How TO Grow First Class Wheat Crop.
From Corn stubbIe.

From Corn Stubble.
This year, ON account Of drought in
many sections and consequent grass and
clover seed failures, there will be large
breadths of stubble lands broken for
wheat. When stubble land is TO be pre-
pared, other tools than the plow should
go to the field at the beginning. Before
starting the pillow the harrow, drag and
roller should have attention and be put
In shape to do the best work when need
cd. They should be ready to hitch to
without annoyance or loss Of time. The
plows should have jointers or drag
chains to put all stubble and weeds out
of sight. Then, to make the most of the
moisture in the soil when first turned
up, the plow should be followed with
the roller, working down before noon
what has been plowed during the fore
noon, and late into the evening the
blowing of the afternoon. This work
can even be improved by following the
roller with scantling drag. This latter
will I'll up all holes and smooth down
uneven places left by the plow.
The farmer does not like to be both.
cred changing the team from the plow
TO the other tools and back again and
regards the plowing as first and most
important. More often IL is equally inn
portant to conserve the moisture in the
soil Sometimes the expected rains
come, often they do not. II the soil is
cloddy and worked directly after the
plow, the moisture is retained in the
soil otherwise II is lost and the farmer
is compelled to wait for rain OF seed his
land in improper condition. 1t should
ever be borne in mind that wheat needs
a solid seed bed underneath with fine
surface. II the land is in proper condi-
tion to plow, not too wet, the farmer
need have no fear that no will get it too
solid by continuous working. The plow-
ing should be done as early as possible,
and plans should be laid to give the
land as frequent workings as possible
The seed bed cannot be too solid under
meath nor too mellow on top.
Since it has been demonstrated that
first class wheat crops can be grown
from corn stubble, a few lines as to
how they are secured will be in order
here. The corn should be grown on clo-
yer sod or land made rich by manures
and should have frequent and continu-
GUS cultivation. The corn may not need
so much, but it is a necessary prepara-
tion for the wheat to get all it needs in
the way Of food from the soil Level
cultivation for the corn will be found q
great advantage when wheat seeding is
to be done. Care should be taken not to
have this seed bed too loose. Shallow
working tools will be best in it's prepa,
ration. One or two inches Of the surface
cannot be made too fine, says the author
Of the foregoing in The Prairie Farmer.

In the Cornneld,

All farmers agree that the time to cut
corn is about when the grain is glazing
and when the stalk is yet green, and
that, too, before frost. For the most
part ten hills square is about the gener-
al size for shocks While all will en-
deavor to do as much work in q given
time as is possible each one will en-
ploy different methods in SO doing
A hundred hills make very good shock
one that will stand and keep well,
writes an Iowa Homestead correspond
ent, who tells that he once had an Ohio
man cut up lot Of corn for him in such
a manner that the shock rows stood 80
or 40 rows apart. They were so thick in
the rows that they touched each other,
On every two hills stood shock, and
it was carried in from 90 rows on each
side. The object of doing this work In
this way was to have the ground as
clear as possible to put in winter wheat
He also cut up some 80 rows between
shock rows which were by 30, He said
that it required but little more travel
ing to do the work in this way than did
the old fashioned ten hill square meth

A BIG sTRlKE BREWING.
Labor Organizations Likely to Tie Up the
Wabash Railroad System.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 25.-A local paper
declares that there is a big strike brew.
ing ON the Wabash railway which
threatens to tie up the entire system
from Toledo to Kansas City. The paper
adds:
"For several weeks past the company,
through its officials, has been quietly
ferretting out the members Of the va
rious Brotherhoods In its employ, and
one by one they have been discharged.
The reason given has usually been in
competency, drunkenness, bad record,
or other causes equally as good, but the
discharged employees had no recourse.
1t is claimed, however, that majority
Of the men discharged were released
because they are members Of the Broth
erhoods Of Locomotive Engineers, Fire
men, Order Of Railway Trainmen, Rail
way Conductors, or the Switchmen' q
Mutual Aid association. These five Or
ganizations, it is said, will demand their
reinstatement or tie up the road.

Storing Irish Potatoes.

The conditions for keeping potatoes
are very simple. These conditions, as
briefly stated by Country Gentleman,
are "a uniform, cool temperature in a
place that is neither too wet nor too
dry. In an ordinary cellar where the
temperature can be kept at about 40 de-
grees and where no water soaks upon
the flow, they can be stored ten feet deep
and in any quantity. If the bottom is
damp, it should be covered with Stats
raised three or four inches. The above
statement covers all points to be OBJ
served in the construction of q store

But P1unges Them Into the Quagmire
UP to Their Nedks and Then Leaves
Them FIoundering.
Columbus, o., Sept. 24.-The republican
state executive committee, which has become
badly frightened at the uprising Of the people
against the last legislature, is now endeavoTing
to explain way its corruption, extravagance
and salary grabbing.
To aid in this Chairman Kurtz called on
John r. Malloy, clerk Of the house, to dem
onstrate that the last legislature saved the
people Of the state $4,000.
Thereupon Mr.. Malloy proceeded to give the
figures, which proved the contrary, but by
which he attempts to show the saving claimed.
The figures, however, contradict the claim
Mr. Malloy says that the total cost of the
legislature for 1894 was s16s; 178 30 and its cost
for 1895 was s92 1886 or SIS 94O,3 ,3g less than for
1894, a saving Of S75, ,940.32.
1t is true that the legislature in 1896 only
cost the taxpayers s92, ,236, but 10 was not in
session, IL did nothing, its members earned
nothing, and yet the people had to pay s92,.
230 for nothing. Therein lie the objections
of the people to the performances of that legis-
lature.
Mr.. Malloy's figures show no saving at all.
The session of 1894 was the costliest Of any in
the states history by $4,000 while s02, 1886,
nearly the average cost of session, was
drawn from the treasury in 1895, where there
was no session and no pretense Of a ses ion.
The 10th general assembly of 1902 1893, was
the costliest legislature up to that date. 1t
held two sessions. The cost of these sessions
are given in the report of the auditor of state
on page 8 for 1892 and page s for 1898. 1t was
as follows:
For the year 1S92...... ....... ...".S137 SIS 90
For the year 1893 S93.."................. 132, 81
IOtal..... S27O, l1204
Now let us take Mr.. Maloy's figures for the
one session for 1894 1895 and see how they
compare, as follows:
For 1894 Zone sesson) n).",.."........$ $16S, 176 80
For 1895 (no session ..........."... 92, ,238. 0C
Total..."""..""......... $3.50, ,412. 81
That is to say, the one session Of the 71st
general assembly cost within $4,000 as much
as the two sessions of the 10th, while the cost
of that legislature was $50, 600 in excess OF any
of its predecessors.
Mr.. Kurtz also took alarm at the enormous
increase in the past three years in the cost Of
carrying on the small bureaus about the state
house. The bureau of workshop inspection
for instance, has been increasing at the rate Of
over S11 900 year.
The republican chairman called on the Ohio
State Journal to explain 1t away. 1t did il
more uniquely than Mr.. Malloy explained the
legislature grab, 1t admitted the annual in
crease, but said it was owing to the increase o
salaries, and the creation of new offices!
That is precisely the bill of complaint which
the taxpayers of Ohio have against the Re
publican leaders. That is why they are goinl
to turn them out on the 5th of November.

A Seasonable Hint.

"The saying will bear repeating, "
says writer in the Iowa Homestead,
"that the farmers in the corn belt
should feed hay to supplement their
corn fodder, instead Of using little
corn fodder now and then to exc out the
supply of hay. The corn fodder should
be primary and not secondary in the
line of forage for stock. That implies
that it should be harvested and cured
with as much care as is exercised in
saving the hay crop. The stover con-
tains more than one-third the value of
the corn crop"
