NATIVES TORTURED.
HORRIBLE Cruelty Practiced
Spain i'm the PhfIIinDines.


WICHITA, Kan, Dec. SC. H. Dav-
idson, prominent banker of this city,
has received a letter from his son,
the Imperial Japanese guard, who is
stationed at Formosa, telling of horri-
bic cruelty practiced by the Spaniards
towards the natives of the PHILIPPINE
islands, who are now in revolt against
their oppressors.
Young Davidson rendered distin-
guished service to the japanese gov
ernment during the recent war between
that country and China, and went to
the Philippine islands recently to inves-
tigate the condition of affairs there and
report to the Japanese government. He
found that the natives and half-castes
were being subjected to the most cruel
tortures known to history, and their
condition was so pitiable as to excite his
deepest sympathy but he dared not, he
says, make known the real facts while
on the islands. The methods of torture
invented during the inquisition are re-
sorted to in wringing confessions Of
treason from suspects, and he declares
that 5000 suspects have been arrested
and thrown into foul prisons and dun
geons at Manila.
Mr.. Davidson describes the death Of
fifty-nine5z unfortunates who were
smotheredGin the "black hole there.
There Isl a. large underground pit in
Manila with an opening above. -Four
hundred were thrust into 1t at one
time, and the opening closed. The air
was soon exhausted by the imprisoned
wretches who, for breath Of fresh air
fought each other like demons. Their
cries and pleadings failed to move the
hearts of the sentries. and the fifty
nine were smothered. The excuse Of
fered by the officials for this outrage
was that it was raining and the open
ing was closed to prevent the prisoners
from getting wet.
Mr.. Davidson goes on to tell of va
rious forms of punishment inflicted
which he says tsis aided by torturing
machines actually used in the days of
the inquisition, and which are preserv-
ed at this time in the monastery of st.
Augustine at MANILA

FOREIGN FINANCIAL.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8-Eyening Posts Lon
don financial cablegram: President Cleve-
lands message is favorably regarded here
but following the distinct lead of the New
York markets, Americans were lower today.
Ihere was no pressure to sell here and the
close was above the lowest Other markets
were idle and depressed before the general
settlement, which will commence tomorrow.
The last account in the year is usually dull
and featureless; consols u per cent lower.
There is renewal of the talk of gold ex-
ports in Germany. Home rails were fiat be-
cause of labor troubles. Mines were steady.
The settlement shows bear account In
to raise sterling loan here or issue treasury
bills early next year. Paris and Berlin
markets were weaker.
WALL STREET TALK.
A rumor that Omaha common would be-
converted into Northwest at rate of two shares
to one is circulated again.
The fear is expressed In Wall street that
lower prices may be brought about by the
constant introduction of bills looking towards
the recognition of Cuban revolutionists.
In Manhattan a slight advance took place
on declaration of the regular dividend and the
issuing Of a fairly favorable statement Of
earnings.

PEARL BRYAN,s MURDERERs.
New Trial Denied to Jackson and
WaIling.

FRANKFORT, KY, Dec. 8.-The
court of appeals has refused a new
trial to Scott Jackson. The opinion
covers also the appeal Of the attor-
neys for Alonzo Walling, who must
die The grounds for the appeal were
that the judge erred In his Instructions
and that the sheriff erred in not allow
ing admission except by ticket, and
that the evidence was insufficient.
The opinion was prepared by Judge
Hazelrigg. 1t now devolves on Gov.
radley, after receiving notice of the
Judgment Of the court of appeals from
the clerk, to fix the day and hour for
the execution. There is said to be no
ground for carrying the case to the
United States supreme court, and the
governors warrant for the execution
of Scott Jackson must issue. The law
requires q. judge in sentencing Grim
inal to allow not more than ninety nor
less than twenty days after sentencing.
The only restriction upon the COVER
nor is that he shall not appoint day
earlier than that appointed by the
court. That day has already passed.

FINDING THE LEAK.

~. Product of the Fields Pays the Mud
or Stony Road Tax.
Time spent in marketing farm prod
nee is dead loss.
This loss falls on the crop produced
nv the farmer. The dappled fields of
Green and golden wheat know 1t and
tbe corn leaves whisper 1t to the lazy
pumpkins yellowing in autumn sun.
They know that against them will be
charged all the time of horses and men
and all the wear and tear of vehicles en-
Moved in transporting them to market.
They know that If the road to town is
very bad and but half load can be
marketed in twice the time required for
marketing full load with good road,
a will all count against them when the
years business Is finished and the books
are balanced.
They know that production and con-
sumption are the great contending
factors of the farm. Horses and men
are consuming the crop while they are
producing it. The consumption of it
does not end until it is exchanged for
It's cash equivalent. The fewer the
number of horses and men, the less the
amount of time employed in producing
and marketing it, the more there will
be to credit to the worth of the crop.
The mud tax, or stony-road tax, or
the steep-grade tax is assessed against
the product of the fields.
If the farm isn't paying investment,
the "why?" should be looked into.
The farm. itself, may show profit.
The miserable road to market may be
the Improbable part of the business.
Roads should be so made that loads can
be hauled to market when fields are too
wet to work.
Quit charging the fields with the great
loss of time, the broken vehicles, the
WORKOUT horses and the many other
Ills occasioned by poor roads.-Good

Catching Files on of Cattle.

A machine for catching flies off the
backs of cattle, and SO afrording the ami
mails relief and comfort, has been invent
ed by farmer in Madison county, Ky.
The fly catcher is kind of covered pen
or passageway, through which the ami
NAL must walk to secure relief. "A few
feet from the entrance there is cupola
or dome in the roof of the passageway,
made of glass and arranged as n fly
trap. Beyond this the passage is dark
ness. The animal walks through the
machine, and just as it passes under the
dome and enters the darkest part set
of brushes sweep off the flies, which
naturally rise into the lighted dome,
and the steer passes out at the other
side free of flies. The flies are retained
in the dome trap. The inventor has ex'
perimented with his machine, and finds
that the animals soon learn the value of
the machine and know enough to walk
through the machine when the flies be-
gin to bite. The device has been pat.
ented.

GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Too much or too severe pruning is al
ways more or less weakening, especially
II continued year after year.
In pruning trees of any kind it is bet
ter to leave one strong branch or limb
than two or three weak ones.
The only remedy FOR black rot is to
cut off and burn immediately all
branches that show any indication of
the disease. -, q
- Cultivate your Young and small fruits
the same as you would any other crop
on the farm from which you expect to
realize profit.
In setting out grape settings, plant
IN dry. low soil, so that only the top
bud will be exposed and then mulch
with straw.
When selecting the trees take those
with the roots large and strsng enough,
and then top light enough to do away
with the necessity of stalking.
BY leaning the trees a little to the
southwest when they are set out, sun
scalding may be largely avoided, as the
top will partly shade the trunk.
The sooner now that red and black
raspberries, blackberries, currants and
gooseberries are set out the better.
Early planting induces stronger root
ing.
A young, tender tree cannot grow
without good care and attention. A
tree is strong and hardy when it is old
and its roots are well established, but
when young 1t must be attended to.
Trees should always be. set about as
deep as they stand in the nursery or
two or three inches deeper to allow for
The settling of the soil.--St. Louis Re
