An Agricultural Discovery.

A new forage pant, the Idaho Coffee
Of agriculture. This wild pea grows
luxuriantly on the the lava deserts Of
the Snake river basin, and has been All
important element in the pasturage Of
the Regions to which 1t is indigenous.
The seed was gathered aud the plant
was cultivated first in the Wood river
valley aud later in Colorado. From
both sections come the most flattering
reports. The plant is All annual, with
the qualities of prolific and early
growth; and it possesses in larger de.
gree than any known crop the quality
of resisting drouth. It is like the
clover family in n much as 1t feeds
upon the gases of the atmosphere and
does not tax the fertility of the soil tor
humus pulveruleuts. In fact It brings
to our silacious soils what Is needed to
assist in ripening them tor the resist
ence of drouth,
The mode of culture adopted for tins
new crop is similar to that of the corn
family. The grains a,e very nutri.
cious, ana are most satisfactory when
ground or cooked for food. The yield
is double that OF corn with a feed value
even greater for equal " light aud
bulk. The fodder is equal in fat pro-
hucing matter 10 the best clover hay
and it is the ideai batter producing
plant. 1t promises To revolutionize
farming in all the sub-arid districts of
the great west. This discovery is u
remarkable adaptation of means to
ends. There have been millions of
acres of farming iand developed i'm the
past quarter of ~ century that be'onA ed
to geological formation SO radically

The extra session Of congress
seems imbued with the proper
spirit. The tariff bill has passed
the house in less than two weeks.
Let the senate be equally active
and the country will save thou
sands of the great deficit that IS
piling up daily. Common sense
and business promptness will soon
put the nation on basis of paying
debts instead of creating more.

time, to the production OF one kind
Of crop Such a system exhausts
the fertility of the fields. and
natural pests come, as agencies in
the economy OF nature, to balance
and equalize the bounties of mother
earth, For this reason, if no other
farmers should study crop rotation
But the more practical reason of
remuneratlve price shoulc be
governing influence ofgreater force.
At this time any one of dozen
products OF this valley is selling
for. not only a remunerative price.
but for high price Hay is sell
ing for twelve dollars ton. None
can plead surprise in this instance.
The price for this most easily
grown crop has always been high
IN the winter and spring in Lewis
ton. The farmer within reach of
this market cannot be acquitted Of
the charge OF neglect. There is
not an acre of arabic land within
reach of Lewiston that would not
produce profitable crop of hay of
some kind every year On the
dryest land in the valley rye crops,
of all average of three tous of hay
to the acre. have been cut for ten
years in succession without resow-
ing, the aftermath producing abund-
ant pasture and volunt, er seeding
every fall Even the native bunch
grass. if protected from summer
pas,urage, will yield more than a
ton to the acre every year And
there are the cultivated grasses for
the scientific farmer. Mr. Scho-
field. from one acre of alfalfa, fed
a horse and a COW all last winter
and sold S4S worth of hay, What
excuse can the farmer plead that
will acquit him of neglect.
Onions, just now, are three cents
a pound in this market. One acre
at this price would support a family
Butter is shipped into this valley
The stale surplus of distant mark
cts finds consumers here, where
crops of roots, hay and grain never
fail. and where farmers complain
of hard times. This is an eco.
nomic paradox.
There are different branches Of
stock business which a:e neglected
in this valley The breeding O
hlooded stock has not received due
attention. The cow market i:
good in this city. Grade m:lct
cows find ready buyers at all sea
sous at high figures. A good COW
can be grown on our cheap pas
ture lands with out expense othe
than pasturage. The rugged hill
sides all produce crops of nativ'
bunch grass that cure in the sum
mer sun and retain their nutritiv
properties all winter. Every acr
of this land produces grass equal il
feed value to ton of hay; an,
it is gift of the virgin sod withou
the cost of harvest. A full bloo'
Jersey. worth a hundred dollars
can be grown to mature COW with
out pound OF feed other than tn
wild grasses of the hills. Thes
hills only await the enterprise t
fence and protect them to yiel
their wealth to the man who grasp
the offered opportunity.

BAD GANG REMOVED BY A MOB OF
LYNcHERS.
Five White Men Swung Up in an Indiana
TOwn-They Were Tough
Lot.

Versailles, Ind, Sept. 15.-An
awful story is connected with the
hanging last night of FIVE of the most
notorious characters in all Southern
Indiana, Lyle Levi, Clifford Gordon,
Bert Andrews, William jenkins aud
Henry Shutter, Jr The victims were
confined in the Ripley county jai
charged with burglarizing the village
store at Correct, this county, Satur
day night.
A mob of several hundred men. un-
masked, rode into the town from every
direction, stormed the Jail, took the
prisoners out and hung them till dead
from the limbs of an elm tree, hun
dred yards from the Jail.
Public sentiment seems to be with
the mob, and though an investigation
will be ordered, it is not thought that
it will ever amount to anything. 1t
will hardly be possible to get a jury
in the county that would not have
on" or more of the lynchers on it
and, of course, no convictions could
follow. Gov. Mount sent the deputy
attorney general here tonight to in
vestigate the matter. and that officer
will be here several days. He can
fnd plenty of people who saw the
mob, but none who will admit that
they recognized any of its members.
The governor also telegraphed that
he was determined to enforce the
law against the lynchers, but his
dispatch excites nothing more resious
than derision.

\ Singular Coincidence

The window of the room in which
the late David Lee Johnson was lying
upon his death-bsd was shaded by a
large peach tree. Wednesday after
noon just as the sufferer breathed his
last, this tree by some Gnaccountable
means was split apart, the limb that
shaded the window falling to the
ground. 1t was not weighted down
with fruit, there was 40 wind blowing
and no reason can be assigned for the
occurrence. To say the least, it was a
very singular coincidence.

Take Action at Once.

The city authorities of Hopkins
vile should be aliye to the fact that
the trains are crowded with refugees
fleeing northward from the yellow
fever districts of the South. 1t is
more than likely that some of these
may come to Hopkinsville Other
cities are keeping a strict watch aud
every passenger from the South who
stops here should be required to give
an account of himself 1t is only a
days ride to fever infected towns and
while quarantine may not be re-
quired just yet, still the eyes of the
city authorities should be kept wide
open The appearance in the city of
one case Of suspicious fever would do
iucalculable harm to the fall bust
ness and strangers should not be al
lowed to enter this city at all from
the fever districts While other
cities ale taking prompt action let

YELLOW JACK Is HERE
LOWER HALF OF MISSISSIPPI INFECT
ED AND PEOPLE PANIC STRICKEN.
The Capital city DepopuIated and the Dis
ease Spreading to Many Towns.

Jackson, Miss, Sept l5.-All the
fears Of the citizens of jackson in re-
gard to the sickness prevalent at Ed
wards have been realized. DIR.
9 uiteras, the Government expert,
has confirmed eleven cases of yellow
few r, and says there are many sus-
poets. First, the cases were reported
as malarial fever, tbeD, after a time,
they became dengue fever. Another
wait, and then they were pronounced
suspicious, and finally declared to Ee
the genuine yellow jack. During all
this time The disease has been spread
ing rapidly at the rate Of FIVE or six
new cases daily, until there are now
forty cases in existence at Edwards.
The evolution OF the disease from
malarial to yellow fever was such
that the people now regard dengue
as simply more convenient term
than yellow fever.
Only one death from yellow fever
was reported yesterday, but the APP
pearance OF new cases at different
points greatly increased the alarm in
the Southern States. The most strin-
gent quarantine regulations exist
throughout Alabama, Mississippi and
Louisiana. Local traffic on the rail
roads in Mississippi has been almost
suspended. Refugees are going
North in large numbers. The Gulf
States are panic stricken, despite the
fact that as yet the cases are not nu-
merous and the percentage Of deaths
very small
A decided and complete panic has
prevailed in Jackson all day. Every
body who could has left town. The
business houses have closed aud the
newspapers have suspended publica-
ton and closed their Offices. Jack
son has a population of 10000 peo-
pie, and two thirds of these have de-
serted the city.
BETTER REPORT FROM NEW ORLEANS.
New Orleans, Sept. l5-At .he close,
of the days investigation by the
Board of Health, at 6 o'clock this
evening, the fever situation, so far at
least as New Orleans is concerned,
was considered to have materially inn
proved and there wac less anxiety
than at any time since Monday
among the health officials, encourag-
ing them to believe that by no means
had they lost control of the situation
and that it was quite within the
range of probability to expect that in
a short time the superior quarantine
and sanitary methods employed. will
prevail and crush out the scourge.
INCREASE AT OCEAN SPRINGS.
The rain and stormy weather there
since Saturday has had the effect of
the number of cases at
Oceans Springs. Conductor Johnson,
Of the Louisville e. Nashville railroad,
who was just preparing to get away
to Cincinnati, was stricken to-day, to-
gether with three others. One new
case was reported at Biloxi this morn
ing. 1t is that of Rev c. F. Emery,
pastor of the Methodist church, max
ing three in that family; yet there ex-
listed in Biloxi forty nine cases. OF
these nineteen were yellow fever, six
were suspicious and diagnosis as to
thirteen was reserved. There have
been no deaths at Biloxi.
