Second crop seed potatoes arc good,
as we well know. The next best seed,
says The Farm Journal, is that grown
from last years seed planted so late
that they do not fully mature before
frost stops growth. When to plant de-
ponds on latitude, climate and variety,
but many who cannot keep tubers in
good condition that have been grown
from April and May paintings may sue
coed if they viii plant this month The
main difficulty is to got good seed at
this season. The resulting crop may be
small, but the seed thus grown will
have strong vitality.

WHEN POLLY TAKES THE AIR.

A little wicker basket rolls
Along the pavement walk,
And at the sight the young and old
Begin TO laugh and talk
ANA wave fair hands and kisses throw
And cry: "LoolS hcrel" "see therei"
"This way it comes!" And all because
Sweet Polly takes the air.
The newsboys run and shout with glee
And follow on behind.
The coachman and the footman gaze
As If they had mind
To do the same. The good old priest
Stands still with solemn stare
AS down the shady avenue
Sweet Polly takes the air.
And all the while sweet Polly sits
In dainty gown and hat
And smiles on one she loves the best
Her pretty Maltese cat
And softly COOS, when pussy purs,
without Thought or care
How all the town turns upside down
When Polly takes the air.

THE MURDERER FOUND.
He was out of Sorts Because he was not
Acceptable to the Parents.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, April ga
special to the Leader from Akron,
Ohio, says: The Tallmadge muir
derer has been found. Smith, the
recently discharged hired man of
the Stone family, has confessed to
the crime. Detectives Doran and
Decelle, of Cleveland, who have
been employed on the case, arrested
John Smith in Tallmadge last
night and reached this city short
ly before 10 o'clock. Smith is
about 81 years of age and came to
Summit county nine months ago,
going to work for Mr.. Stone. Two
weeks before the murder he had a
disagreement with Stone and left
him. Smith was much enamored
Of Flora, the youngest daughter,
and his attentions were distasteful
to the family. Flora was the only
one of the family not injured by
the murderer and the morning af-
ter the murder she stated that the
voice of the murderer sounded
like Johns"
The day following the murderer
Smith was subpoaned to appear
before the coroner. Upon exami-
nation he denied all knowledge of
the murder. The two detectives
became convinced that Smith was
the real murderer and went to
Tallmadge. They took Smith to
the Stone house and for six hours
kept him in the sweat box plying
him with questions. The man
doggedly insisted that he never
committed the murders, but at
seven o'clock he broke down and
said eff l murdered them l don't
know it," This served as start
ing point to the detectives who
wormed a partial confession from
him. His story Of the manner in
which he made his way from room
to room in the house agrees with
the details already published. He
would give no reason for the crime
but there is only one conclusion
and that is that it was done for
the purpose of assaulting Flora
Stone. His home is in Turin, n.
Y. He says he is only II years of
age, but is evidently 3 or 4 years
older. When Smith had conclu-
ded his story the detectives put
him under arrest. He made no
protest when told he was in GUS
tody and did not appear to be
much excited.

A Close Vote in Tacoma.

TACOMA, Wash, April 9.-The
result Of the vote for mayor is in
doubt. A. V. Faucet, citizens can
didate, has two majority on the
face Of the returns from 26 pre-.
cincts and unofficial returns from
the other nine. The city clerk
opened the returns Of the 26 pre-
cincts when an objection was
raised and he decided not to open
the others. The result cannot be
told until Thursday when the can
vass will show the vote. The vote
is so close that it is certain the side
losing after the official canvass is
made will take the matter into the
courts and ask to have the ballots
recounted.

A Voice From the Elect.

New YORK, April "a dispatch
20 the Herald from Valparaiso,
says: Federico Errazuriz, presi-
Dental candidate. elect Of the coali-
tion convention, replying to dis
patch informing him OF his nomi-
nation, said that the difficulties Of
the economic situation in the coun-
try was exceptional. Sources OF
production wero seriously endan-
gered and business was paralyZed.
1t was very difficult to put into
effect commercial transactions OF
any kind. The government, he
thought, should aid private enter
prises with public funds to tighten
the situation. Senior Errazuriz
said that the rumors of interna'
tional complications were I'M
founded. There were treaties in
force for the pacific solution Of all
difficulties. and arbitration was
always possible. He would, he
said, If he could, realize all the
hopes Of the liberal party in the

TURKISH Explosions.
AGREEMENT ARRIVED AT BETWEEN
TURKEY AND RUSSIA.
Retaliatory for the Action of the Powers
Proposing to Squadron Sal
Onica Bay.

CONsTANTINoPLE, April Sit
now appears, according to a semi
official statement, that the Turkish
government bases its action in ex-
polling or allowing the expulsion
by the local authorities of Bitiis
of the American missionary, Rev.
Mr.. Knapp, on an understanding
reached between the porte aud the
United States Minister Terrell. 1t
is added that it was agreed be.
tween the government and Mr.. Ter
rell that Mr.. Knapp was to leave
Bitlis April LIST, but as the mis-.
sionary took no steps to depart, the
local officials OF Bitlis politely in
vited him to leave. At that time
United States Charge d'Affaires
John w. Riddle had no official ex-
plantations on the subject.
Mr.. Knapp has left Diarbekir
for Alepho and from there, unless
the plans of the Turkish govern
ment are interfered with, the
American missionary will be Gin
vited" to 60 to Alexandretta so he
may embark upon a steamer there.
1t is generally believed here that
the expulsion Of Mr.. Knapp Is only
the first step taken by the sultan
in the direction of the expulsion Of
all Protestant and Catholic mis-
sionaries, as we'll as the agents Of
the American Red Cross society
from Armenia.
There are several reasons given
for this movement, but the affair
may be summed up in the state
ment that there is no doubt that
Russia and Turkey are alarmed at
the effect of the work OF mission
aries in Armenia and elsewhere,
and that it has been decided that
they are to be expelled under some
excuse or other in order to make
way for the priests of the Russian
church.
This is believed to be the basis Of
an understanding (or secret treaty.
arrived at between Russia and
Turkey, when the fleets Of the
powers had assembled in the bay
of Salonica, and the question OF
coercing Turkey by display OF
naval strength before CONSTANT
nople had been almost decided
upon.
PARIS, April 9.-Considerable
irritation against Turkey has been
aroused here by reports from Con-
stantinople and London that the
sultan has decided to eXpel all
Roman Catholic and Protestant
missionaries from Asiatic Turkey.
Newspapers have taken up the
question as one directly and
strongly affecting Christianity and
as calling for prompt and effective
action.
LONDON, April 9.-All newspa-
pers here give prominence to re-
ports OF meeting yesterday OF the
Armenian relief committee, pre-
sided over by the duke of Argyle,
to protest against the proposed ex-
pulsion from Bitlis, Turkey, Of Pro-
testant and Roman Catholic mis-.
sionaries.

Bike Men at an Election,

MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, April 9.-One
Of the novelties brought out by the
elections here was the "bicycle
vote" 1t is figured that the wheel
men have majority of the council
and that there is now no passage
OF an ordinance that will be hard
on riders. At present there is no
bicycle ordinance in force in this
city, but it is conceded on all sides
that one will have to be passed be-
fore the riding season opens. In
some OF the wards the wheelmen
took an active part in the cam
paign and worked against alder
men who had shown a disposition
not to be fair with the men who
ride wheels. In all these cases, it
is said, they were successful and
helped to retire the Objectionable
members.

Canada Takes the Orees.

HELENA, Montana, April o.
Finally, Canada has taken official
action in regard to Cree Indian
matters, and the present outlook ia
that all Crees in the United States
will be deported within the next
four weeks. Gov. Richards has re-
ceived letter from A. 7. Traiget,
commissioner of Indian affairs for
the northwestern territories Of the
Dominion Of Canada, that his gov
eminent was willing to take charge
OF all Cree Indians requesting that
the same will be delivered him not
later than May l. AS matter OF
International affairs. Governor
Richards sent the Traiget commu.
nication to Secretary Olney with a
request that he accept the Cana
dian governments proposal. This
Indian matter has been under con-
sideration since 1885 when Mr..
Blaine was secretary Of state. He
made special efforts to have
the Indians deported. The Cree
Indians are charges OF Canada,
having no reservation Of their own.
They roam over the country, dirty
and shiftless and have spread
smallpox all over Montana several
times. The northwest contains
thousands Of them.

Japan, Russia and Oorea.

New YORK, April ga dispatch
to the Herold from st. Petersburg
says: The troubles Of which there
have long been rumors are matur-
ing in Corea. According to tele-
gram from Vladivostock to the
Novoe Vremya, the last news from
Seoul says that the Coreans are de-
termined to exterminate the Japan
ese, holding them responsible for
the murder Of the queen. Bands
OF men have been organized to
threaten the Japanese factories.
Japan has sent warships to Gusan
and other points on the coast.
The Novosti says that Japan
should by this time know Russla's
feeling in regard to Corea, that
while she does not wish to be there
herself, she will not permit any
other power to be predominant in
the "hermit kingdom" The king,
SAYS the Novosti, is perfectly fit to
rule and when restored to the
throne the Russian troops will re-
tire.
Meanwhile great military activi.
ty prevails in japan. The army lie

ORAzED BY LOVE.
A Physician Kills His Sweetheart and
Tries to Destroy Himself.

Tries to Destroy Himself,
COLUMBUS, Ca, April IA spe-
cial to the Enquirer-Sun from Tai
bottom, Ga, says:
One of the most fearful tragedies
in the annals of crime was enacted
here Sunday night when DR.. w. S.
Ryder, a prominent dentist, shot
and instantly killed Miss Sallie
Emma Owen.
Ryder had brought Miss Owen
into town from her home, about
ten miles out, that afternoon, and
left her at the home OF Mr.. J. II.
Mccoy, in Talbotton. Later in the
evening, about 9 o'clock, be re-
turned to Mr.. McCoy's with a
double-barrel shotgun, stepped to
the door, and fired at Miss Owen,
who was sitting in the parlor with
Hon. A. p. Persons. The shot was
fatal and death was instantaneous.
The mailman then fired the other
barrel Of the gun at Mr.. Persons,
but only a few small shot struck
him, and his injuries were not Sc
rious.
1t is supposed that Miss Owen
had rejected DR.. Ryder's suit that
afternoon, and that he was mad
with jealousy. After the desperate
deed the doctor took an ounce Of
morphine, and terribly gashed his
throat with a pocket knife In an
effort to kill himself. He was ar
rested and is now in the Talbotton
county jail.
All the parties are members Of
the most prominent families in the
county.

OOUNTERFEITERS CAVE.
A Very Interesting Den and Bogus Coin
Found, but no Crooks.

BRISTOL, Ind, April 9.-Two
deputy United States marshals are
taking turns watching a lonely
island in st. Joseph river in the
northwestern part Of Elkhart coun-
ty on which a subterrane8n coun-
terfeiters' den has been found. The
cave was accidentally discovered a
few days ago by two boys, who
while boating on the river had
landed on the island. The subter-
ranean chamber is about % feet
square and Is feet high. 1t was
we'll stored with small saplings
and plants. A door on either side
opened into two smaller rooms.
Immediately under the hollow
stump was sort Of furnace which
got its draft through the entrance.
Double hunks for eight people were
ready, and on table were dishes
and cooking utensils. Against one
side Of the wall was work bench
and under it in a chest were COM
plete set OF counterieiters'tools. In a
sort OF cupboard were found piles
Of spurious gold and silver coin in
all stages OF preparations. Eagles
and half eagles and silver dollars
were the principal denominations
manufactured. The coins repre-
sented face value of little more
than $4,000. The agents Of the
government who have visited the
place say the workshop was evil
IDENTIFY that Of men of genius. The
process of manufacture was to cast
the metal, then plate 1t with genu-
inc silver or gold and afterwards to
run it through the dies and milling
machines to give 1t the clear cut
angle which marks good money.
There was found in the cave the
pocket book OF William Crum-
packer, a wealthy man living near
by, who was murdered about a
year ago. His murderers have
never been discovered. Among
the other articles found was a
package OF papers which has been
identified by Alfred Salisbury, ex-
postmaster of Bristol, as papers
that were stolen from the post
office. AS soon as the discovery
was made the representatives Of
the United States, at Grand Rapids
were notified and also the author
tiles Of the treasury department Of
indianapolis. Two representatives
Of the Indianapolis Office were sent
here to watch the place day and
night, but the discovery could not
be kept a secret and the members
OF the gang have not reappesred.
For the last eighteen months
agents of the treasury department
in Indianapolis and Washington
have been in cooperation to dis
cover where the counterfeit money
found in circulation in Indiana
and Michigan was being manufac-
tured. They have missed some
we'll known counterfeiters for some
time, and they now have no doubt
that these men have been living in
this underground cave undisturbed
and pursuing their nefsrlous call
ing unsupported.
