Rocky Ford farm and garden tracts
are better property than gold and silver
mines. Owning them you will not get
rich as fast as the few fortunate ones
who "strike it rich," but you'll be several
hundred per cent better off than the av-

He is ALIVE YET.
Miller Williams, of Aberdeen
sends a bullet into his lett
Temple. 1t is thought he
will live but a few hours.

This city was greatly shocked last
evening when it was informed, by
telegraph, that Miller Williams, Of
Aberdeen, had just shot himself and
could survive but short time.
Williams had rooms on Main
street and about nine o'clock in the
evening his landlady heard a pistol
shot followed by heavy breathing.
She at once located the room and on
entering found him lying on the
floor with a pistol on one side of him
and looking glass on the other.
About twenty-five letters addressed
to different parties were scattered
around him. The pistol was 80
calibre and the ball entered the left
temple
As usual in such cases various
rumors as to the cause are rife. The
current one in this case is that he
had been Tilted by young lady and
had grown Respondent over the turn
of affairs. Some say he has been
out of employment for some time
and had grown melancholy.
At eleven o'clock to day he was
alive but it was thought impossible
for him to live but few hours
His brother, Geo. Willirms living
east of town, was wired of the affair
last night and left on the early train
this morning for Aberdeen.
Williams is we'll known here
having clerked in the Vinkle house
in 1887 and 1888, after that was
three years at the Kennard, Aber.
deem. He has been deputy county
auditor of Brown county for a time
and was promised the position again
but failed to get it which probably
added to his trouble. He had also
been collector for a machine oompa-
ny and is at present treasurer of the
Aberdeen Modern Woodmen camp.
His books and accounts with that
society are al! right. He was to have
been installed last evening us Vener-
able Counsel of the Aberdeen camp.
The affair is u great shock to his rela-
tives and friends here.

YOU CAN CONQUER Them.
Expert Testimony Oh some of our
High Rollers. This method has
been tried and is not found want
ing.

Our genial friend, j. H. Denning,
called on us this week, and while
conversing we hit upon the Russian
thistle question. Mr.. Denning in
formed US that a friend of his on the
west side plowcd four acres of laud
last spring fitted it as for crop, har-
rowing thoroughly, and fenced it in
to his pasture, This land was soon
covered with a thick growth of this,
ties, and the stock fed on
these in preference to the best prai
RE grass. The thistles grew steadily
through the entire season, kept green
after the grass had Drowned, and af-
forded an abundance of feed. The
land thus prepared, it is estimated,
furnishes three times as much feed
as the same area of prairie. Mr..
Denning thinks tho way for our farm
ers to handle their land is to fence
their farms and then plow in the
spring and harrow down one field for
use as pasture. This leaves the land
level, it holds the moisture, and al
lows the stock to Craze close to the
ground and thus keep the thistles
small and green. BY this method
they do not absorb much moisture
and leave that field in splendid con-
ditior for a crop the following spring.
The next year another field could be
treated likewise, and SO on in rotation
over the whole farm. The advan-
! tage of blowing is that this gets rid
of all the old thistles, produces a
ranker growth in the new crop and
allows the stock to Craze close to the
ground. Mr.. Denning has expert
! ! mented and finds if properly handled
a field thus treated, or cropped to
corn or potatoes, enough moisture is
stored up to produce a crop almost
any year. We have heard many the
cries advanced as to the best metood
of handling the Russian thistle but
the one advanced by Mr.. Denniug
appears to us, the most feasible. and
profitable of any. By this method
every farmer gets full use of his land.
None of it has to lie idle undergoing
a course of summerfallowing, and
also allows each man to diversity
and keep a large number of stock on
a comparatively small farm. Has
any one better method of handling
the thistles? Next, say on.

Transcontinental Rates.

ST. PAUL, Jan. Att is rumored
that the general freight agents of the
transcontinental roads will hold meet
ing in this city some time this week for
the purpose Of making reduction in
rates to Northern Pacific coast points.
A the present time the Northern roads
cannot compete with the Southern
roads on freight to these points.
Freight can be carried to Northern Pa
ciac points by way of California cheaper
than if carried direct. This is the
reason that the Northern roads are de-
termined to make much lower rate
than those in effect at the present time.
