FROM SPEAREVILLE.

Since our last writing the year 1895
has been placed in the tomb of the past
and the sunrise of 1896 has dawned on
our horizon with the bright effulgence Of
a happy New Year. May We all be en-
abled to bury with the departed year
all the errors and misdeeds thereof. aud
to carry forward with US into the New
Year the memory of all the good deeds
Of love and kindness of the past year as
an incentive to more dignifled and

POpulist Party Dead.

HOPulot AEty DcaVs
Ignatius Donnelly, leader of the
Populists, of Minnesota, has practi
cally admitted that theP opulist party
is dead. but made this queer PROPOSE
ton: "I have suggested that it would
be a good idea for all parties to meet
in their conventions in the same city
and on the same day, then aud there
to adopt their platforms and endeavor
to agree upon . candidate. In the
event of being unable to do this, I
should favor uniting in the various
states on one electoral ticket"
As to the result of the election he
said the Republicans have the best
show of winning. "There will in ef-
feet for the time being be two Demo
earthquakes, divided by their instincts
and affiliations, and in the end those
of an aristocratic tendency will join
the united opposition. The Demo
cratic party is practically dead. It
could not carry q State in the Union

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Democratic administration has
issued another series of bonds in the
sum of 500, OOO, 900, to meet the de-
plenishing gold reserve. It is called
popular loan" in the hopes that
the common people will make the
purchases with their "hoarded gold. u
This is very kind in the government
TO test the iberality and patriotism Of
the American people, but it is doubt
full if they respond generally, for in
times of distrust and hardness people
do not like to part with the yellow
metal. After all, the 'gold bugs
will get these bonds and divide the
per centage with some thrifty Dem.
ocrats.
Itlooks as though Congress might
pass the revenue bill and thus help
the Democratic administration out of
the financial dilemma, brought about
by q system of experiments. The
House bill is recommended for pas
sage by the Senate, but riders may be
tackled on to the bill which may i'm
pair its usefulness as financial meas
ure. While there is a disposition to
help the Democrats 'sout of the hole"
some of our wise legislators regard
their peculiar views of politics and
finance as the panacea for the fnan
ancial distress.

An Australian agricultural, Mr..
Krichauff, has called attention to the
fact that the potato will celebrate the
300th anniversary of its introduction into
England next year. 1t was in 1886 that
Sir Walter Raleigh returned to England
from America with the first tobacco and
potatoes, which originally grew in Peru.
Although the potato. it is estimated. now
furnishes one.sixth of the nourishment Of
the human race, for long time it was .
delicacy for the rich alone. Even at the
beginning Of the seventeenth century
noblemen paid two shillings pound for
potatoes and seasoned them with sherry.

ANInPoxrASr INDUSTRY.
More Profitable Than Grain Raising.

In the western part of Kansas thou
sands of dollars are realized annually
in the production of garden seeds for
Eastern seed houses. The amount of
this business is large, though the OK
tent of it may not be great; but few
people are aware of its Importance.
We have some statistics concerning
the production of garden seeds in the
western counties returns of the pro-
duct of previous years, and had in
tended making public mention of the
matter, but have deferred until an
other time. We, however, wish now
to mention of particular circum
stance that has come within our
knowledge in the past few days. and
of which we can youch for the correct
ness of the statement.
B. E. Blake is an enterprising seed
grower on farm near Tyron, Okl.,
seven miles south of Liberal, Kansas.
The lands in that part Of the country
are not as good as those in the Arkan
sas valley. Mr.. Blake has 300 acres
under cultivation which he devotes
exclusively to the production of melon
watermelon and musk melons.
principally watermelon. The past
season his seed crop amounted to over
81, 200 90 gross. He shipped more
than two carloads, one carload bring
ing $4,000. He is paid ten cents a
pound for the watermelon seed. D.
N. Ferry, & Co., the noted seed men
of Detroit, are the purchasers of these
seeds; and they return to the grower
the seed they desire cultivated for the
coming crop. Two other growers in
in the neighborhood of Mr.. Blake are
also engaged in raising melon seed
for the same seed firm; and they had
good success.
The crop is cultivated without irri
cation. The melons are put in a ma
chine constructed purposely for grind
ing them, and from the pulp the seed
is extracted and put in the sun to dry.
There is considerable labor attached
to the seed caring. but the returns are
so ample as to justify the outlay.
Mrs. Blake, the wife of Mr.. Blake,
is sister of A. Mcleod, of this city,
one of our we'll known citizens. From
him we gather these facts; but the in
formation was given by DR.. o. H.
Simpson, who spent some time in pro
fessional work last fall at and near |
Liberal, Kansas.
In the rearing of the watermelon
crop there is not the labor and cost
attached to ordinary farming; and the
returns indicate something very sub
stantial.
The actual cost of the production of
The watermelon seed crop is less than
81, 900. leaving net proceed of over
8, 200-a little more than $40 an acre

HERO OF THE HOUR.
COURAGEOUS ACTS OF A BIG Po-
LICEMAN.
Presence of Mind and Bravery Save
the Lives of Twenty Young
Women-Cheered BY the Anxious
Crowd.

BOSTON, June 10.-William Graham,
a big strapping policeman of the south
end precinct is the hero of the hour in
Boston. He was passing along Wash
ington street when off duty at a time
when a fire broke out in big five
story block and his presence of mind
and bravery saved the lives of twenty
young women.
Plumbers at work on the third floor
had carelessly left lighted candle
close to the woodwork and the fire thus
started spread with great rapidity and
there were nearly forty men and
women employed in Woods Printing
office and their escape by way of the
stairs was entirely cut off by the
flames. They crowded around the win
dows on the Washington street end of
the building. Their only chance to
escape appeared to be to jump to the
ground eighty feet below, the firemen
not having reached the scene. Then
it was that Patrolman Graham rush
ed into the adjoining building and go
ing to the third floor climbed out upon
the broad stone sill of the window
nearest to the burning building. That
brought him TO within a few feet OF
one of the windows, which was filled
with frantic women. He told them to
creep along the sill and he would res
cue them. 1t required a, large amount
of courage to hang over the street with
the only chance Of a footing of about

all over the country and that this
summer will bring a horde of pros
pectorS hither from all over the west.
Mr.. Bone is an old placer miner from
California and will keep his weather
eye open for sands that pan. The three
gentlemen will remain in these parts
at least a month and if nothing turns
up to hold them, will go to the Tintic
country If they make a strike, how
ever, they are able to command enough
capital to work the ground UP into a
fortune for each.
Sam Newhouse and Sam Godbe came
down to Richfield last Saturday night
and with Charles Lammersdorf drove
on UP to the Sewer mine Sunday
morning. The first two gentlemen rep
resent the great English syn
dictate which secured an option on.tfe
Sewer last June. Mr.. LammerSdoTf
owned 100000 shares, the controlling
interest in the property, and sold it at
so cents per share TO Mr. Goddess peo-
pie, who have paid SAL 900 of the pur-
chase price. That l1aves $1,000 yet
due on the mine, and in addition the
new company will have to pay interest
on the money for nearly d year and
will remit for all amounts expended
in. the interim by Mr.. Lammersdorf
come to nearly $4,000, and the time for
payment is June 18th. The matter is
so arranged that if full settlement is
not made Charles Lammersdorf will
still control the Sewer.
William Dodge, one of southern
Utah' veteran prospectors, was a Rich
field visitor a few days ago and was
seen by an Advocate reporter. For
the past seven years Mr.. Dodge has
been with the Sewer people and prob
ably knows the ground as we'll as
anyone else. He says the present
prospects for that property are bright
er than ever before and that a great
boom is in store for the district. The
company has not yet quite finished
blocking out the great ore bodies, hav-
ing still some fifty feet to run. AS
soon as that task is completed the
force will be increased and a busy
summer put in on the great mine.
Mr.. Dodge has some prospects of
his own from which he expects good
| things. One is the Golden Eagle and
Utah and later location is the Way
Up. They are situated a little less
chan a mile southwest of the Sewer,
and surface assays have shown from

Rio Grande Western Y ait the mouth
of Sewer canyon, and began work on
their contract last week. On Sunday
they inspected the route of the proposed
line and came upon boulder weigh
ing about three hundred pounds which
| they, being prospectors. at once recog-
nized as gold bearing quartz. A close
examination disclosed free gold in mug
gets as big as pinheads and the rock,
a yellow quartz, is very like the ore
found in the Sewer district. From its
smooth appearance and because it diff
fers materially from the mineral for
nation peculiar to the immediate vi
cinity in which 1T was found, Messrs.
Whitford and Pattison are of the opin
ion that the yellow quartz has been
washed down the canyons from some
distant spot.

DIR SHORES HOME AGAIN.
Has Been to California For Two
Weeks on Important Mining Bus


Dr. G. w. Shores returned home
Tuesday evening from California, hale
and hearty, after a two weeks visit
to the Vanderbilt mining district.
where he went to inspect the famous
Barefoot mine and other properties,
which are owned by T. G. WINNER OF
Payson, and other PaysoT parties.
The doctor reports the district as a
great one, and found many valuable
prospects there. The country is hard
to work, however, and not much is be
ing done at present, owing to lack of
money, as most of the properties be-
long to prospectors.
The Barefoot is proclaimed as a YER
liable bonanza, and is doubtless des-
tined to make all the owners rich
some day. It is now working on d
small scale, having five-stamp mill
which is turning out a limited amount
of bullion each month. The parties in
terested are very reticent over de-
tails, but the above was CLEANED from
the doctor, and the general opinion is
that this property is a more valuable
mine than they care to acknowledge.
The doctor was glad to get home
again, and says there is no place like
Utah after all. Many people, he says,
are inQuiring about Utah climate and
our resources, and there is likely to be
a large influx of Californians here this
summer and fall. Many have ex-
pressed themselves as pleased with
the plans for the Midsummer carnival,
and anticipate attending it.
