BADLY BEATEN ZIP

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 2S.-Dctais of
the assault upon Congressman Dinsmorc
at Englantinc have been brought to this
city by a gentleman who claims to have
been at the speaking, which indicate that
the affair was much worse than reported.
According TO this authority, four men
made wanton assault upon the con
gresham and beat him terribly, his eyes
hcing gouged, his face badly scratched
and his leg broken before his ASSISTANTS
could be pulled off.
Mr.. Dinsmorc had finished his speech
and taken his seat, and Sean Ian, popu-
list, was addressing the crowd. In the
course of his speech Seaman called Dins-
more liar, whcreupon the congressman
struck Seaman in the face. Immediately
four of Scanlan's friends attacked bins
more and knocked him to the ground.
While some beat him with fists, others
kicked him in the ribs and jumped on
him with heavy boots. Mr. DinSmorc
was powcrlCss against the assault, and
before his friends could get to him he
was almost inscnsiblc. A physician
dressed Mr.. Dinsmorc's wounds and he
was taken to Clinton. where he will he
confined TO his room for several weeks.

THE supreme court having held in a
ThurstOn county case that "unpaid
taxes constitute a part of the cash as
sets of the county until the lien of the
tax has been merged into a sale of the
property" there ought to be a substan-
tial advance in the pnce of county
warrants in all counties Of the state
which have not exceeded the legal limit
of their Indebtedness under this con-
struction of the law. There can be no
question as to the real value of such
warrants. The trouble is that there is
very little ready money for the pur-
chase of them by the residents of the
counties where they are issued, and
eastern buyers deal through warrant
brokers, bankers and spectators to
whose interest it is to force the price
down as low as possible. The general
or county fund warrants of this county
ought to find ready sale now for at
least ninety-five cents on the dollar.

Mixing Clover and Timothy Seed.

Almost all farmers seed with mix
ture of clover and timothy. But 1T Is
much better to SOW each of these seeds
separately than to mix before sowing
Timothy is lighter the bulkier IN pro-
portion to its weight. Its seed cannot
be thrown as far with the seeder or by
hand as can the compact clover seed:
The latter with the seeder can reach lo5
feet on each side when clover seed Is
sown. With timothy seed not more
than nine feet on each side, and it Is
better not to rely Oh more than q feet
or fifteen feet in all. When the seed Is
mixed it leaves blank space of six
feet where no timothy seed falls, or else
strip of six feet wide where the clover
seed has had a double seeding. Either
of these makes the field look badly:
An even growth, both of clover and
grass, helps to keep the weeds down,
and it also makes the land richer for
future crops.

ONCE more THE ISLANDER desires to
call attention to the effort which few
public spirited citizens are making to
organize county immigration society,
or board of trade. 1t will be noted that
the meeting called for that purpose by
Mr.. Tucker, the San Juan county
member of the state immigration board.
is to be held tomorrow, March 8. in
stead of Saturday, as first called, i'm or.
der that farmers and merchants from
any section of the county may be able
to attend and return the following day.
The advantages to be derived from an
organization to promote settlement and
development ought to be apparent to
everyone and no argument should be
necessary to induce wide awake and
progressive citizens to attend the meet
Ing tomorrow.

A CORRESPONDENT signing himself
San Islander" writing to the What
com Blade, from Friday Harbor, under
date of February 81, seems inclined to
encourage the placing of another
steamer on the island route in the in
terest of the merchants of the Bay
Cities. In our judgment such encOur-
agement is ill advised and misleading
and altogether unwarranted by exist
ing conditions of trade and travel. The
two steamers now on the route are able
there is to do at present, and until there
is very material increase in the
amount of freight and passenger traffic
between the islands and the Bay Cities
third steamer could only be operated
OH the route at ii cons. derable loss. 1t
is not to the interest of the steamboat
men to take advantage of the people of
the islands or of the Bay Cities, by
making their freight and passenger
charges excessive, and until THE Is
LANDER is led to believe that they are
doing this, or it appears that they are
unable to properly handle the business
offered, we can offer no encouragement
to third steamer. We have already
stated, however, that we believe it
would stimulate travel and be COLI
venience and a saving to many people
if the steamers would issue communal
ton family tickets at reduced rates, as
it is customary for railroad and steam
boat companies to do in the east. The
suggestion is not offered in spirit of
criticism, though we have no hesitancy
is criticising when there appears to be
good cause for it.

Not since she allowed Columbus to die
in chains in dungeon has she de-

the pages of her history are crimson
