Saving in Little Things.

AS a people we have not learned to
save. We have yet to learn the art from
those who are still oultivating the lands
used by their grandfathers, on the other
side of the water. Necessity may some
day teach this nation TO look after little
things. A truck farmer, from his culls
and refuse, may feed as much stock as
does neighbor from the entire product
of a like tract.
The using Of tools does not wear them
out 80 rapidly as do rain, rust and eX-
posure. Because one has no fine barn or
nicely built shed he is not excusable il
he does not care for his implements of
industry. He who will not provide some
sufficient makeshift will never see the
day when he will be able to put up the
good buildings.
Throwing away the "seed end" Of
potatoes has been advocated on the
assumption that one thus reduces the
tendency to produce small tubers. Ex-
periments have not justified such prac-
tice. In any event, before so doing q
farmer should make a test by planting
clusters of the eyes by themselves and
noting the result.
The gardener often grows two or three
crops from the same land in one season.
This is economy, for he manures so
highly and cultivstes so thoroughly for
the first crop that the soil is filed with
plant food which would be wasted away
If something were not planted to gather
lit up. Thus many Of our fields might
produce late crop OF something better
than chick weed. Wisconsin Agricul.

closely, and If this Is done through the
early part of the season the seed crop
will be heavier from the late growth
than any other manner of handling It.
The sheep can be fairly credited with
this profit.
It takes food to make wool as well
as to make flesh. If growing sheep
only, or mainly, for wool, it is just as
necessary to feed well az though the
main object was mutton. A sheep
kept on starvation Eations, even part
of the time, will not yield q good fleece.
In ordinary circumstances no farmer
should neglect feeding a certain num-
Der of sheep, If for no other reason
than to consume and to convert into
manure the roughness which would be
otherwise wasted. All coarse fodder
is more valuable for manure after 1t
has passed through an animsl.-WiS-
cOnSin AgriculturiSt.

It has been found impossible for divers
to work at so great a depth OF water as
the Pewabic is in, and some years ago q
well-known diver, Pelig, WAS killed in an
attempt to raise the steamer, The bell
to be used is built Of steel Of one inch in
thickness and is six feet in diameter and
eight feet in height. 1t weighs $4,000
pounds and is made to resist great pres

40 Raise . Long LOst Steamer.

Another attempt is to be made to raise
the copper-laden steamer Pewabic, sunk
in Thunder bay, Lake Huron, thirty
years ago, in 180 feeS Of water. The at
tempt is to be made by the American
Salvage & Wrecking Company, Of this
city, which has secured the right to use
the patent diving bell invented by w.
G. Smith, Of this city. At meeting Of
the stockholders Of the company last
night in the Office Of w. H. Starkweather
it was reported that last week a success
full test Of Mr.. Smiths patent had been
made in 90 feet of water in Milwaukee
bay. 1t was said that there will be no
trouble in working in water at a depth
OF from 200 to 300 feet. 1t was reported
that the company had secured an option
from the Chicago underwriters owning
the Pewabic agreeing to allow the com
pany 60 per cent. Of the cargo when de-
liyered at the docks at Alpena. The
company decided to accept the offer and
will issue an extra list Of stock TO fit out
an expedition which is to get to work at
once.
The Pewsbic was sunk in q collision
with the Meteor thirty years ago. The
copper cargo is valued at about 100000.

The New York Sun puts 1t this way:
"The PrOhibitionists have captured
most Of the issues ever issued, and yet
they are plning for more. 1t is strange
that they haven't discovered that
there is q President In bicycles. He
may be too busy too appear this year,
but he Is more certain than fate. He will
be full of good feeling, and his calves
will be benedlctiOn. All the wheels
In the country will keep time with him.
All the spheres Of heaven will sing
campaign songs for him. He will be
elected unanimously. His platform
will be encouragement to Wheelmen.
His stockings will be more interesting
than rsinboWs. His face will be calm,
and as regular as an infants breath.
He will put the whole Supreme court
on wheels. The Drys have more In
dustry than ingenuity"

For the past several weeks we have
been inQuiring among POpulists Of
this county as to their choice for Gov
ernor, and from all the information
we have received, we believe that four
flfths of the members of our party are
in favor of Col. W. A. Harris or some
other good man. The party has no
fight on Lewelling, but it Is not con-
sldered advisable to nominate him and
thereby place the party In q defensive
position. Whether the delegates from
this county are instructed for him or
not, we believe they will cast their
votes for the nomination of Col. Harris
for Governor. COncOrdia KanSan.

Sheep on the Farm.

Sheep will both feed and clothe a
man, which is more than can be said
Of other farm animals. Many level.
headed farmers still believe In the
poor, despised sheep, despite the low
prices Of recent years.

Exporting Flour in Sacks.

A new feature in the flour industry
has developed recently in Spoksne's 8
trade with Guatemala. The flour is
now packed In lOO,ponnd sacks, and,
thus packed, is admitted free Of duty
to the ports of that country. Millers
in Spokane have pushed their inter
ests in Chill and Guatemala until the
volume Of business transacted Is now
quite important. This trade is In.
Gressing rapidly and will soon assume
large proportions. Ships load with
flour and lumber at the various Puget
Sound ports and return with cargoes
Of coffee and cocoa.

CREDIT OF KANSAS.
Which Hurts 1t Most, the Pop Courts or
the ThlevIng Attorneys Who Prac-
tlce in Them?

the ThleVlDg Attorneys VINO Prac"
tice in Them?
A few years ago, when the Anthony
Loan & Trust Company was doing
business in Anthony, they made q loan
to F. NJ. Evans on real estate, and the
mortgage was subsequently sold to
John S. Smith of Massachusetts. In
1893 the mortgage became due, and
through the Eastern agents was sent
to J. r. Hammond of Anthony for
collection. We are told that Mr.. Evans
paid the mortgage of $500 to Mr.. Ham
mond in July, 1893, but that the latter
gentleman or some of his colleagues in
the case failed to report the collection
or send in the cash. Instead of that
he or they reported that they couldn't
get a foreclosure proceeding through q
Populist court. The Eastern investor
knew Mr.. Evans to be a safe man and
the loan to be q good one, and was
cOntented to let the case take its turn
and was not worried about his security.
A similar case was a loan to Henry
Peters. On the payment of $3l8 inter
est and back taxes to ID. B. Williams,
the holder of the mortgage In Mssss
Chusetts, Peters was to have an eXten.
sion of his loan in the year 1894. But
in this case, as in the Evans case, the
money has not yet reached the rightful
owner; and the non. payment was again
credited to the "POp court" About
this time this man Hammond was
editor of a Republican newspaper in
Anthony; he was a Republican Con.
gressionsl committeeman. He was
particularly severe on the Populist
court; had much to say about repudi.
ators; preached honesty and integrity
In his paper, and we presume he is still
doing 1t in his Republican paper at
Van Buren, Ark.
But the tide has turned. The East
ern men who have blamed the Popu.
list Judge 30 severely have just found
out that the Judge was not to blame,
In at least two cases, and we can tell
Of several more; but that their own
party employees have been bowling ca
lsmity and stealing their money, and
now they are calling on Mr.. Hammond
for settlement.
We would like to ask our Republi
can friends If these Republican editor
lawyers stsnd-up.for Kansas fellows
have been doing much toward estsb-
fishing the credit of Kansas with our
Eastern ereditorSp Why, dear reader,
these two cases, and there are others,
have done ten times as much to hurt
our credit as any act, resolution or law
that can be laid to the POpulist party.
We ask our Republican fellows to quit
bowling reputation, and throwing
stones at the Pop court until you have
cast aside the thieves and lying leaders
In your own party. If you have any
thing to say In defense Of this man

black cap was drawn over his head.
Sheriff Hardy waved his handkerchief,
the lever was pulled and Thiede was
dangling in the air.
There was a convulsive movement of
the limbs, the fingers twitched and
then DR.. Wright placed his finger on
the pulse of the right hand, while DR..
Brown did the same with the left, and
DR.. Penrose timed the pulsations.
The drop fell at 10:991a. At 10:47 the
pulse Of the victim was beating at an
81 rate, and at 1O:4415 had risen to 96.
At 1915 the rate had increased to 100,
and this continued for the space of
thirty seconds, when it suddenly fell
to 10S. Two and one-half minutes la
ter it was beating at so, and from that
time decreased until 10:541a he was
pronounced dead, the time being four
teen minutes.
THE LETTER READ.
AS soon as the doctors had
pronounced Thiede dead, C. o.
Whilltemore, the county attorney,
mounted a small box and an
nounced that he would read the let
ter which the dead man had given him
with the request that the same be read.
The letter was as follows:

THE PROCESSION.

Shortly before 1890 the spectators
passed from the Jail office into the
basement and up into the jail yard,
where they took their positions. They
were all deeply impressed with the
solemnity of the occasion, and con-
versed in low tones until 1887, when
Sheriff Hardy appeared at the base
ment door and said: Stand back
now, gentlemen"
A moment later the procession, head
ed by Rev. Gillian, entered the yard.
Thiede walked between two deputies,
and was surrounded by officers. The
prisoner was escorted under the scat
fold and took his position on the little
platform, where he stood as straight as
an arrow and glanced over the specta-
tors. His face was very pale, but his
attitude was firm. County Physician
Wright took his position on the right

devoted himself to writing the letters

The execution of Thiede in the
county court yard made yesterday
day among many for the morbidly
curious. The small boy was there.
likewise was the large boy, and all of
them got off thirsty. In vain did they
climb the high fences and get up
among the foliage and cover all kinds
of sheds and hay lofts. Twenty-Five
feet of lumber fence and ditto Of black
screen stared them from either side.
