A Matrimonial Agency Caused It.

At 4.30 o'clock this afternoon, in the parlor at the Arlington Hotel, will occur a rather romantic we'd ding. The groom will be Mir. Caesar McMurtry, 0 prominent young busi- ness man of Rison, and his bride a young lady from North Carolina, who will arrived here via the Cotton Belt passenger train. The young people formed the acquaintance of each other through the means of a matrimonial agency and by aid of Uncle Sam's postal service they plighted their troth before they ever met. The first and only meeting of the couple, before today, occurred at Atlanta during the Exposition. The young lady will join MT. McMurtry here and they will at once be married after which the couple will leave for Rison.

IEz Second Ave.

The conditions of the crossings of Fourth avenue and Main street is a disgrace to the city government. If q good street crossing is needed any where if is that leading to such public place as the postoffice. yet for over three months, in wet weather, our citizens have been compelled to wade ankle deep in mud or water to get across either of the above men, tioned thoroughfares in going for their mail. Recently several pieces of wooden blocks, about three feet apart, were laid partially across Fourth avenue, but they are so far apart and their surfaces areso round that it would take an active squirrel to jump safely from one to the other, but it would be absolutely dangerous for human being to attempt the act. In the name of deeency, let these crossings be put in proper con dition. The cost to the city will be small and if it isnot able to stand the expenditure, let it be known, and the work can be done by private sub- scription.

i SENATOR.
No One Elected to Succeed
 Senator Blackburn.
BOTH SIDES CLAIM A VICTORY.

From Next March Kentucky Will Have
 Only One Representative In the Upper
 House of the United States Congress.
 The Last Day Was without Any spe-
 Oia1 Demonstration.
 FRANKFORT, March IS. On St. Pat riek's day in the year 1896, at high noon, tho gayel fell for the last time in the joint session of the Kentucky gen. eral assembly without electing suc- oessor to Senator Blackburn.
 On motion of Hon. O. z. Brown the joint assembly eternally. foroibly, ever- lastingly and perpetually and for all times dissolved, never to meet again. The Iongmeter doxology was sung by the assembly in Q spirit of humor.
 The next session of the legislature will convene in January, 1898. Senator Blaokburn's term will expire on March 4, 1897, and from that time on Kentucky will have only one senator in congress, unless 8 special session is called and that Governor Bradley says he will not do.
 Outside of an attempt to pass a reso- lution in the house indorsing Governor Bradley's ordering out the militia the sessions.of the houses were without any special interest
 The rollcall of the assembly showed 66 members present, and when 6 final vote was called the Republicans and Democrats refused to vote, and ballot ing closed.
 While the Republicans and sound money Democrats claim @ victory in preventing Blackburn from being eleot- cd. the Blackburn men say the battle was won by Blackburn and for free sill yer.
 As soon as the joint assembly had dissolved, many of Senator Blaokburn's friends made rush for the senate oloakroom and began to shake the hand of the free silver champion. "Joe told q story and wound up by saying that he had just begun his fight"
 Arrangements were made for q meet ing of Blackburn Democrats at the opera house.
 There came near being a serious en- counter between Colonel Gather and Jack Chinn in the forenoon, but before either could pull his gun to shoot they were separated by friends.

DIED AS HE LIVED. CHEROKEE BILL AS INDIFFER- ENT TO THE WORLD ON THE sgAFFOLD
 AS BEFORE.
  With Smile on His Lips He Re- marked, 'This is a Fine
 Day to Die. ,

FoRT SMITH, March l7.-"Gherokee Bill'' died as he lived, with an ap- parent utter disregard for death. He had smile upon his face and pleasant greetings for familiar faces in the large crowd thathad gathered to witness his execution. He coolly stood upon the gallows and waited the end. The drop fell at 2:20 o'clock this afternoon, and precisely ten minutes later he was pronounced dead. The hour had been set for 11:30, but at the request of Cherokee Bill's mother it was postponed that he might see his sister who was ex- pected from Fort Gibson. He slept well last night and rose at 6, whist ling merrily as he dressed himself for his last hours on earth. Members 0f the press and other privileged per sons crowded around the jail corri- dogs during the day but the doomed man paid little heed to them, spend ing his time with his mother and an old negro woman who knew him from childhood. After an affection ate leave taking of his mother short ly before o'clock he remarked that he was ready to go at any time The jail was cleared and five minutes later the side door opened and he was brought forth handcuffed and shaekled when he remarked: "This is a pretty good day to die. look ing at the sky. On the scaffold he was quite serene and while he did not make an address he chatted pleasantly, ,and as the black cap was drawn over his head remarked: "The quicker it's over with the better itfS4sy These were his last words. Jailffuard Golf sprung the trap and Bill's, neck was broken by the fall. Therf was nota sign of a struggle, the heart ceased to beat in ten min ntes and he was lowered into his coffin. The remains were taken to Fort Gibson on the K. and A. V. train at 3;30 o'clock.

Protect the River Bank.

The city or county authorities should at once take some steps to protect the river bank in rear of the court house. A large pool of water stands in rear of the court house yard and this water must percolate into the river which will cause the bank to cave rapidly. This matter should receive atten- tion immediately.

Thousands Of them he cannot fool at all;
and the condition Of the farming COM
munity on that line is becoming better
and stronger every day. The party lash
does not have the significance that it
once did, and-let no one lose his breath
now-this country will see a good level
headed, intelligent farmer President Of
the United States inside of 25 years.
Politics is becoming such an uncertain
element, that the political parties will
be driven to seek the help of the farmer
by naming one Of his class. There is
nothing so wonderful about this pro-
phecy. AS business men, as men Of affairs,
and as politicians In the best sense, there
are thousands Of farmers who rank
among the best men that the country
has. 1t is not because competency has
not existed among farmers that Presi-
dents have not been selected from them,
but the reason is that the city and town
rings have had cinch on a good thing
and held to it. The farmer is looking
up, as sure as you live.-FGrmerS' Voice

Garden Irrigation.

The value Of irrigation for gardens
has been found to pay even when there
Is reason to expect a sufficient rainfall
for ordinary purposes by the expert
ments made Ot the New Jersey Exper
iment Station.
The product of a plat of irrigated
beans was nearly three times as much
as the average of nine similar plsts
not irrigated. The water was supplied
by the city Wsterworks of New Bruins
wick, and cost $2703 per acre, and
notwithstanding this fancy price, the
investment paid profit of 100 per
cent. Irrigated peppers were about
equally profitable. The benefit of irri-
cation was less marked on tomatoes
and egg plant, but the tests were be-
gun too late to produce best results.
Mulching was beneficial to egg-plants.
Spraying with Bordeaux mixture ef-
fectually checked leaf and fruit blight
of egg-plsnts. The mulched plants
also showed much less blight than
those not mulChed. Irrigation greatly
benefited turnips, except on land in
tested with club root fungus. On
these, irrigation increased the viru-
lence of the disease and produced in
jury. Celery was more largely
benefited than any other crop, by irri
CATION, the product of the irrigated
plats bringing eight times as much as
that of the non irrigated plstg. Rows
treated with Bordeaux mixture for
blight and rust produced the best
yield in both the irrigated and non
irrigated plats.-Wt Wisconsin AgrtcUl-

There is hardly any question but that
the gait of the horse is largely inhu-
enced by the driver. This is especially
the case with a young horse that is
being trained to drive or work. If the
young horse, when being first trained
to work, iS put In the hands of care
less, slow driver, the horse will soon
acquire this kind Of q gait, and If al
lowed to continue under this kind Of
treatment for any considerable time q
habit will be formed that will be hard
to overcome. A slow trailing gait is
really harder for a horse. A moderately
quick walk, either with load or when
empty, exhsusts an animal less than Q
snaiPs pace.
Another item should be considered,
and that Is when o horse is allowed to
fall In slow gait he becomes aged
and incspacitated long before his nat
ural time; his joints and sinews be-
come stiff and contracted and he Is
soon incapable Of properly performing
the work he should naturally be able
to .do.-NebraSkG d Farmer.
