Startling Statement Regarding the Recent
RIut in Lcadyilie.
DENVER, Col. Oct 1j.-It has devel-
oped that instead OF eight men, as first
reported, having been killed at Lead
vile during the attack upon the Coro-
nado mine, three weeks ago Sunday,
the actual number killed was so. In
addition, as many men were serious
ly and many fatally wounded.-
This information was furnished by a
member of the staff of the state
militia. The publication of his name
would result in his dishonorable dis
charge. He was among the first to
reach Lcadville, after the destruction
of the Coronado, and his position is
such that he was enabled to learn
beyond n doubt that actual number of
union men killed was 80.

Soil MOiature.

Prof. W. D. Gibbs, at the farmers convention, in Ohio, made the state ment that it requires 1,200 tons of water to make an acre of corn. He urged the systematic saving of the natural moisture of the soil by eradica- ton of the weeds. They act as so many pumps to bring the moisture to the surface and evaporate it. He showed that the natural moisture of tho earth is easily exhausted by inn proper methods of cultivation; that ire Quent level and shallow cultivation furnishes a mulch at the surface; that while loose soil will hold in solution twice as much moisture as compact soil, yet if the entire soil surface be loose it will soon exhaust the subsoil of its moisture, because, being loose. it parts with moisture rapidly under the suns rays, and, being loose, has not so great capillary power to bring the plant roots the moisture of the SubSOil

 The president paid no attention to Mir. Vest, however, when the Missouri member suddenly changed his tactics by declaring his desire to make q par liamentary inquiry. This appeal was not lost on the president.
 '"The gentleman from Missouri will state it," he said, ignoring Mir. Peffer and Mir. Sherman.
 ''I believe I was addressing the Sen ate, and had the floor," said MT. Vest, ''but it seems that I have no longer got it. If can't get 1t any other way, I rise to parliamentary inquiry to find out how lost it."

Comfort for Crows.

The simplest, cheapest and most effec- tive remedy I know of is to feed them, says the New England Homestead. AS soon as the corn is planted, scatter about two quarts of shelled corn thinly over the whole piece, and this amount will be sufficient whether it Is a half acre or ten. Every evening repeat the operation, using one quart. Do not put up any scarecrows, twine or anything else to notify the crows that you have corn planted ready for them. The crows will not dig up the ground or pull up the younger sprouts if they can get 1t without this trouble. From a peck to a half buShel will be sufficient to feed them until the crop is too large to pull.
