GROW RICH, EVERY FARMER.

The editor thinks it to be the wish of
everybody to grow rich, not for the sake
of the money, but for the good that can
be done with the money. Now, there
are three new cereals recently created
that will make money for the farmer.
One is Silver King Barley, the most
wonderful creation of the age, yielding
90, 100 to 116 blu. per acre in 1895, and
there are thousands of farmers who be-
1ieve they can grow $50 blu. per acre
therefrom In 1896.
Then there is Silver Mine Oats, yield
ing in 1895 2O9 blu. per acre. Every
farmer who tested it, believes $50 bu.
possible.
Then there is Golden Triumph Corn.
which produced owe 200 bu. per acre,
and $50 blu. is surely possible.
And potatoes, there is Salzer's Ear.
Hest, which was fit for table in % days
in 1895, yielding tremendously, while
the Champion Of the World, tested in a
thousand different places in 1895, yield
ed from 8 to 1900 bu. per cre
Now, in Salzer's new catalogue there
is a wonderful arrayai of new varieties
of wheat, oats, barley, rye, potatoes,
grasses, clovers and forage plants, and
the editor believes that it would pay
every farmer a thousand-fold to get this
catalogue before buying seeds.
If you will cut thls out and send il

Amenable to the Laws

Cincinnati, Feb. 2G. The United
States officers here have looked into
the matter of the correspondence be-
tween Jackson and Will Wood with
reference to the Pearl Bryan case.
and are clearly of the opinion that
both men are amenable to the law
against sending obscene matter
through the mails. Inspector Salmon,
of the p%ostotfice department, says no
action against them has yet been
taken, but he is sure Il case can readily
be made out against Wood, and they
are ready to proceed as soon as tho
matter is referred to them. The pen
atty may reach five years in the pen
itentiary. 1t is said that the state au-
thorfties will very likely take that
cours with Wood. believing that Is
the only way adequate justice ran he

ATTEMPT OF A LUNA1IC TO COMMIT
MURDERS.
Nenr Florence, Mimi, IL Young Man
BECOMES Violently Insane and Sc
Three Chfldren-Their Lives Are
sawed by the Knife Being Dull.

Tyler. Mimi. Feb. 2G.-The details
of Il horrible tragedy which took place
Yesterday six miles northeast OF mere
in the Norwegian settlement near
Florence, were reported here to-day.
While most Of the people i'll the neigh
borlOod were attending services i'll the
Norwegian church. Peter ROnning, the
twenty-ycar-oid son of Il. IL. ROnning.
IL prominent farmer. became suddenly
violently insane. First dive;ting him
self of every article Of clothing, he
seized a pocket knife and began a
murderous assault on the members of
the family who had remained at home.
Selling his nine-ycar-old brother, he
attempted to cut his throat, the cash
extending from beneath the ear down
to the center of the throat. but not
severing the i@uiular. He then seized
his thirtcnn-ycar-Dld sister and cut q;
horrible cash in the back of her head.
The next attempt was made upon the
life of his mother, but she cludcd
her assailant and ran to the barn.
Rushing from the house in Il perfect
ly nude condition, young ROnnlnS
then darted across the field toward the
house of John Myron. a neighbol', half
a mile distant. Here all were away
except a little boy and girl, who, e e
ing the wild man approaching the
house. were terrified and shut and
locked the doSrs. Ronning broke the,
door in and seized the little boy and
cut two gashes in his throat, but, as
before. did not strike the vital part.
The little girl he did not modest, but
left the house and started for the
church. nearly a mile distant. and,
entering the door, called upon the con-
gregation to come out. as there was a
man murdered down there. Conster-
nation seized the congregation and the
men started in pursuit. of the unfortu-
nate man. Young Ronning is a power
full man and made a desperate resist
ance, but was finally caught and bound
with ropes and carried home, where
his wounds and those of his victims
were dressed by Doctors Cox of Tyler
and Arneson of Florence.
Some time before being taken Ron
ming stabbed hiEself in the left breast
just above the heart. The wound is
said not to be very dangerous. He also
attempted to cut his left hand off with
an ak. The doctors say that none Of
the wounds inflicted on his victims
will prove fatal. Had the knife been
sharp there would have been fatal re-
suits with two of the victims at least.
