The iron frames were twisted as though
they were of the very smallest wire, and
will be useless.
The new and unoccupied residence of
Burt Mcdonald was blown down. striking
against the residence OF William wing
and narrowly escaped killing two little
children that were in the room playing.
The storm did much damage to the
state university, and blew off the entire
roof of the adjoining dormitory. letting
the rain drive full into the four-story
building. Two hundred students were in
the building, many of whom fled Cor their
l:.eS when the roof was carried away.
The roof was carried 100 yards, lighting
on and crushing the roof of a cottage in

Good Soil For Grape Growing.

r. L. James in Massachusetts Plough
man: My experience is that grapes
grown on poor soils do not and
will not pay the grower. Good
results always come from good
soils. l have seen lands naturally
poor brought to a state of fer
tility where they produced large
and profitable grape crops. This was
accomplished by supplying the soil
with the necessary elements of plant
food, such as nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash. If any of these valuable
ingredients are lacking, the soil on
which the vines grow cannot produce
good Yields.
Then a fertilizer containing about 8
per cent of phosphoric acid and 10 per
cent of potash should be applied at the
rate of about 700 pounds per acre. or,
instead, an application of $50 pounds
of muriate of potash and $50 pounds of
potash Some growers prefer to use
sulphate of potash instead Of muriate
of potash, as they claim it produces a
better quality of grapes. The two
salts are of about the same compost
ton, and if sulphate of potash is used
the quantity recommended above may
be applied.

RIVER BULLETIN.
Special Information Issued by the
Chief of the Weather Bureau.

Washington, March 2S.-The follow
ing special river bulletin has been is
sued by the weather bureau:
The crest of the flood wave is still
at Cairo, which shows "a stationary
gauge reading five and ne-sixteenth
feet for the past four days.
There is great danger yet to come
from the flood in the region from
Helena southwark to, New orleans.
The river VIII continue TO rise for
al least ten days in the region from
Helena southwark to Vickshurg and to
rise during a longer period from Vicks-
burg southwark.
IF no break occurs before, levees will
be subjected to the greatest strain
about April 10 in southwest Arkansas,
western Mississippi and in Louisiana.
Should the levees break the result will
be one of the most disastrous floods
ever known.
Weather conditions now indicate ad-
ditional heavy rainfall in the middle
and lower Mississippi valleys, which
will materially intensity the food con-
ditions.-
Those living in the districts over
flowed in former years should be on
the safe side and transfer stock and
movable property to places of known
safety while there is yet time

THERE WAS TROUBLE.
Scenes Attending an Official Func-
ton at ST. Joseph. Mo.

ton at ST. Joseph, Mo.
st. Joseph, Mo-, March 2S.-Coroner
Richmond attempted to hold an inquest
over the body of Mrs. James Payne, who
died suddenly about O'Clock last night,
after having retired in the best of health
a few hours before. Rumors of foul play
started in the neighborhood led to an in
vestigation. When the coroner started to
move the body to the morgue. the hus-
band and family of the dead woman re-
fused to allow him to do so. posse of
policemen and deputy sheriffs was sum-
moned- The house was entered and the
remains placed in coffin. When the
bearers started for the door, the crowd of
negroes began to force their way in, and
a nand-to-hand conflict ensued, in which
razors and clubs were drawn by the col
ored contingent and guns by the officers
Payne was knocked down in the act of
clubbing an officer.
The big guns carried by the officers fin
ally intimidated the mob, and the body
was taken away. Such was the feeling
among the friends of Mrs. Payne that it
was feared there might be attack on
the morgue. and a squad of policemen
was kept on guard all afternoon.
In view of the rurnors of foul play and
the opinion by the coroner in his investi-
cation. it is possible that d search war
rant will be issued in order to go over
the premises. The colored people say no
man shall enter the house again. and if
any attempt is made to search the place,
the officers anticipate trouble and possibly
bloodshed.
The family of the dead woman say she
was subject to severe coughing spells and
that during one of these she Strangled to
death? They threaten that if a post
norton be made there will be bloodshed.

Plant Trees.

A treeless home left open to the
broad glare of a summers sun and to
the unobstructed sweep of our wintry
nor westers is not the most pleasant
thing in the world to contemplate.
The most pertinent thing about it is
that it is a circumstance altogether
uncalled for. The views shown in
this connection aptly illustrate what it
would require whole columns of words
to describe. 1t gives emphasis to the
old lesson TO make hay while the sun
shines. Plant trees today and sit in
the shade tomorrow. Beautify the
home. and at the same time add con-
veniences and necessities. The cost is
small, the final result IS great.

going out all day, and gorged at the
high bridge and at South ST. Paul. AS

ice is becoming rotten and will break
away probably during. tho night. Lake
Pepin, the arm of the Mississippi at

it is expected to break up during the

north are rising and there will be a
considerable further rise here. How

lieved the water will go up more than
four feet more here.

New York, March pa Herald
special from Jacksonville, Fla. says:
The dynamite cruiser Vesuvius weighed
anchor at 4 O'Clock yesterday after
noon, and steamed down the river,
leaving six of her men on shore on
leave. That the vessel was in a hurry
is apparent from the fact that several
visitors were on board when a telegram
was received. Word was passed around
that all visitors must leave at once as
the vessel was going down to the St.
Johns bar for rife practice.
Reports from Fort George, at the
mouth of the river, last night, state
that the Vesuvius crossed the st. Johns
bar and headed to the southwark un-
Ger full head of steam. Her destination
