Mistaken fer Burglars.

The Tribune Of Reno says: The d;ities
OF a police officer sometimes throw him
into embarrassing positions, and in
hunting criminals he is sometimes taken
to be one himself. Such was the expe-
rience of our Sheriff and Constable a
few nights ago. The people who reside
in the vicinity of the Catholic church
have been troubled OF late by some one
getting into their Kitchens, outhouses
and buildings and committing petty
thefts. An individual had been seen at
times at such work and the community
was thoroughly frightened The officers
were Appealed to and few evenings ago
Sheriff Caughln and Constable McInnis
went up late in the evening to lay in
wait and capture the offender. While
stealthily stealing up the back alley in
the direction of the troubled quarter, n
man stepped out from back yard, drew
his pistol on the two and commanded
them to surrender, which they did for
the time being, long enough to disclose
their identity and explain their mission.
The man who held them up was one of
our prominent merchants, whose prem
ises had been disturbed by the midnight
prowler, and who was bent on putting a
stop to it. After the sheriff and con.
stable were released from duress they
secreted themselves and soon after were
rewarded for their efforts by capturing
colored man, a stranger in the COM
munity, who was out on foraging ex-
pedition, and who probably was the man
or one of the gang that had been dis
turbing the neighborhood.

Our washington CORRESPONDENT Sags.

A New York business man who has
just returned from trip through the
great agricultural States, says the grain
aries are literally bursting with farm
| products, for which there is no local de-
mand, and which transportation charges
make it improbable to ship 10 distant
markets. 'It is not to be wondered at, !"
he says, Sin the face of such conditions
that the agricultural people are in favor
of free silver. They are disgusted with
the present status and are willing to
risk the silver cure. Eastern people who
never get away from home seem sur
prised at the strength of the silver cause,
but if they would take trip a. far west
as Omaha they would understand the
reasons that are behind the movement.
Senator Warren, of Wyoming. Is one
of those who doesn't fancy the idea of
trying to tell his constituents why Con-
gress adjourned without acting upon
numerous bills in which they are inter-
ested, and he stated on the floor of the
Senate, when the resolution for ad journ-
ment was offered, that he would rather
sit for weeks longer, and even to lose
his vote in November, than undertake to
explain to the people of his State why
the Senate could not remain in session
and dispose of bills in which they and
other western people are interested.
Mr. Warren was in a minority-a very
small minority-and he must make
those explanations as best he may.
Notwithstanding the constant watch
ing of the Father Marquette statute by
the Capitol police, somebody has suc-
ceeded in slightly dishguring it, by
breaking the feathers from the head
dress Of one of the Indians on a bronze
relief tablet on one of the sides OF the
pedestal. The Senate resolution accept
ing the statute, and thanking the State
of Wisconsin for it, was among the long
list OF bills and resolutions which were
pushed over to the next session, after
having been acted upon by one or the
other branches of Congress. 1t is said
there was politics in the poatponement
of this particular resolution, and there
probably was.

Microbe FRrminR.


The mystery Of nitrihcation is now
30 well known that any farmer can
understand 1t. Plants live on nitrogen,
but apparently have no power to take
1t, either from the air or the soil. Here
the nitrogen bacteria get in their work.
These microbes, like atomic sponges,
take In the nitrogen from the soil and
the air, and transform 1t into nitric
acid, in which form the plant can con-
sumo 1t. A soil may be destitute Of
nitrogen, and need both that and the
microbes, or 1t may lack only the mi.
crobes. In which case a supply Of them
renders the field Immediately fertile.
Stable manure has little nitrogen, but
swarms with the germs OF microbes.
Add to a flsld where clover seed will
not catch" . light dressing Of soil
from a plot where clover thrives to
perfection, and catch OF clover seed
is almost sure to result. Why? Be-
cause the soil added Is full of the
germs OF microbes that enable the
young clover plant to avail itself Of
the nitrogen In ground and air.-Or-
ange Judd Farmer.

This Is not surprising. when It Is only

DisposinE Of Manure.

The most incxcusable Of all waste
ful, negligent habits on the part Of the
average farmer is the matter OF dis
posing of the manure which accumu-
lates about the barn and stables. II
must be taken care Of and hauled out
to tho fields and pastures, sooner or
later; then why not do 1t before its
most valuable fertillzing properties are
lost? Prompt attention to this matter
not only promotes comfort and gives
m appearance OF cleanliness and thrift
but the gain In the average farm will
be sufficient every year to pay the
wages Of a good extra farm hand the
year round. II Is not worth onc-hnlf
as much when left to leach and waste
around the stable as 1t would be II
hauled while fresh upon the fields. On
most farms the winter presents the
most economic time for hauling ma
nure. and the pleasant days Of winter
can be put to no better use. The roads
are good. the teams unemployed. and
the farmer himself has plenty OF time
for his work.-Dcnver Field and Farm.

An Italian Murderer at Brooksldo Hides
In y Cave.
Florence, Colo. Feb. 1G-The foreign
coal miners settlement at Brookside,
Coal Creek and neighboring towns, are
greatly excited over the murder OF
John Bruso by Martin Piacino, at
Brookside last night, and the chase of
the murderer by bloodhounds to-day.
Today's version Of the murder proves
1t to have been a most cold-blooded
deed. Italians and Austrians had BEEN
drinking at what is called the Half
Acre all day. and several fights had
taken place.
Some time late In the afternoon Mar
tin Placlno and John Bruso had an a.
tercation, in which Placino got worsted.
He went over to the town and got his
six-shooter, purchasing cartridges for 1t
at the store. and then started back.
At the outskirts of town he came across
Bruso In an Italians house. Going In,
he went up to Bruso and, placing the
weapon at his side, fired, killing him
almost Instantly.
After shooting his companion he
turned upon him and beat him over the
head with the gun until 1t was an un-
recognizable mass Of bruises. He fled
Immediately toward Coal Creek.
Word was telephoned Sheriff Blythe.
who Instituted search early this morn
ing and the murderer was located In the
Mollie Gibson coal mine, three miles
south OF this point. having been traced
to the entrance Of the mine by blood
hound from the state penltentiary. The

POTATO GROWING.
A New Method of Potato Raising De-
acribed.

New Method of Potato Raising De-
acribed.
A friend In the far South calls my at
tatocs, which, according to report In
the Horticultural Cleaner, is practiced
by Mr.. Ford of Texas. To tell the
truth, hardly know what to think Of
this new plan. Mr.. Ford manures
heavily with cottonseed and COW ma
nure, and also irrigates a little, and
claims to be able to raise six crops In
a year, and heavy yields In each crop.
"The secret Of my potato growing" he
says, ''is that l grow the potatoes be-
fore plant them, and dig the pota-
toes plant" A crop Is made In from
four to six weeks. Triumph. the great
early potato for the South, Is the first
choice; Early Rose Is twenty days
later. The new scheme is as follows:
The seed potatoes are put in old bar
rels or small boxes, and stored In tho
"sprouting room" This Is done about
six weeks before time for planting
hem out In the open ground. The
'sprouting room" Is kept warm, II
necessary, by means OF stove or
oven. The potatoes soon begin to
sprout, and in from four to six weeks
the young potatoes will be the size of
peas, or OF the right size for planting.
The barrels or boxes are then knocked
to pieces. and then contain q mass of
roots and sprouts and myriads Of little
new potatoes. The numerous roots
hold the whole mass together. This
seed Is carted to the field. and In
planting. n handful of the mass u
broken on and dropped In tho furrow,
and another handful eighteen Inches
not more than forty nor less than
twenty Of these little potatoes to the
handful planted in each place. II
there Is enough rain, Mr.. Ford says,
every one of them viii make fine,
large potato. But 1t takes manure to
grow them. and after rains he puts on
li0lid manure In addition to the ma
nure already In the soil. The manur-
Ing governs the yield.
II will not be necessary to refer here
to other details OF this novel plan.
That potatoes can he started under
glnss and successfully transplanted to
the open ground. even after they have
already produced little sets. have re-
peatedly demonstrated In my own
practice. and II may be possible to
grow extra early potatoes In n manner
somewhat on this plan. At any rate.
! shall make an earnest attempt to do
II tho coming season.-T. Greincr In
