Successful Arid Farming.

After many farmers had moved away,
broken spirited, from the lands they had
taken up in western Kansas and other
parts of the semiarid belt it seems to
have occurred to the mind of some one
that possibly there might be a method
of agriculture adapted especially to these
very lands, method which would sue
coed without artificial irrigation. The
originator of this idea, Mr.. H. W.
Campbell of Sioux City, Ia, began ex-
perimenting He finally developed
plan which seems to be as follows:
First, the top soil is pulverized fine to
the depth Of three or four inches. Then
this fine soil is plowed under and turned
into the bottom of the burrows, where
the seed is to be planted. The burrows
are eight inches deep. The seed is then
planted. The earth Immediately above
the fine soil in which the seed germi-
mates is next packed close and hard above
it. After the seed termination the top
soil is regularly cultivated once week.
The loose earth at the bottom of the
furrow makes good soil for the seed to
sprout in. The firmly packed layer of
soil above it keeps the moisture about
the roots. Again the constant harrow
ing and pulverizing of the surface soil
to the depth Of two inches enable the
plant to get all the benefit Of dew and
top moisture
This plan Of culture requires more
steady work than farmers have been ac-
customed to give their crops, but the.
result is richly worth it. The railroads
Of the semiarid belt are establishing
model farms, with the view to demon
strating that the dry country may be
turned into blooming, prosperous crop
raising districts. The farmer cannot
work so much land as he has been here
tofore accustomed to at least half work,
but what he does cultivate yields better
returns. # agriculture can be made in
dependent Of irrigation in the semiarid
belt, this will be great good news to
millions.

DR.. BEAMOUTH'S DEATH.
Coroner Finds Natural Causes Pro-
duced 1.-THE Dead Mans Life.

Coroner Brayton was called upon yester-
day to investigate the death of Dr. F. A
Beamouth, colored man who kept SAN
itorium on North Senate avenue He found
the death return made out properly and
learned, also, that two physicians had made
an autopsy and that death was from nat
ural causes. The death excited some sus-
picion, and some of Beamouths friends
started the rumor that he had been poi
soned. There seemed to be some mysterious
incidents connected with the mans life and
death. He died at the sanitorium, attend
ed by the matron and nurse and physi-
clan. AT the same time his wife was living
a domestic in the family of Charles ~
WhitSett.
After Beamouth died she claimed the
body, and this caused good deal of COM
ment, as the colored people and acquaint-
anceS of Beamouth did not know that he
had a wife. Mrs. Beamouth has been known
by the name of Anna Bee She says she
married to Beamouth in Chicago in
that he had another wife living in the
name; that she did so, and even went so
far as to go to Danville and begin suit for
divorce. Then, she says, she learned that
he was intending to marry another woman,
and she dropped the case.
BeamOuth was about forty years old and
native of Jamaica. He had a suit pend
ing against the State Board of Medical EX-
aminers and Registration to compel the
board to grant him a physicians license.

CIVIL SERVICE AN INDIGNlTY
So Stigmatized by Major Anderson
Post, G. A. II.

Major Anderson Post. No. 1863, G. A. r..
has elected the following officers: H. C.
Jordan, commander; James Robbins, S. v.
c.; w. B. Furgason, J. V. c.; Joseph
Burke, M. D., surgeon; Rev. E. w. McIn-
tosh, chaplain; Zack Landers. Q. D.; A. J.
Miller, Q. M.
The following resolution was passed:
Whereas, Under the civil-service law of
the United States, as at present admins
tered and enforced, it is impossible for an
old soldier to secure an appointment in the
administration of the government he helped
to save and perpetuate, by reason of the
fact that, no matter how well qualified he
may be, he is disbarred on account of his
age, while we at the age prescribed by
civil service were fighting for the life of the
Nation.
And, whereas, Civil service is inimical
to the best interests of this country; has
been tried and has proven a failure; is de-
cidedly unjust and distinctly un-American;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That Major Robert Anderson
Post, No. 500, G. A. r., Department of In
diana, most respectfully and earnestly
urge the members of Congress for
the State of Indiana to work and vote for
the repeal of this great iniquity, that is d
blotch upon our statute books and a dis
grace to a free government"

BALTIMORE, Dec. 14-What may posi-
bly, prove to be the last annual convention
of the Federation Of American Pigeon Fan
ciers was held here to-day. No resolutions
looking to cessation were adopted, but it
was clear that a majority of the delegates
present intended to affiliate with the Ma
tional Association of American Homing Pig
con Fanciers at its annual convention to
be held in Philadelphia on Dec go. The
principal point of dissenson is the displace-
ment of Charles H. Jones, of Philadelphia,
by John Shepherd, of the same city, as
recording and racing secretary, in the cleo
ton of officers at the stockholders meeting
i'll Jersey City yesterday. The convention
to-day was apparently harmonious. The
only amendment to the racing rules pre-
scented was offered by W. r. Knell and
was to the effect that there was no neces-
sity of stamping the registered number on
the primal feathers of a bird which carries
a seamless band. After some debate it
was adopted After various complimentary
addresses the delegates adjourned to the
banquet hall. After the banquet a number
of papers were read.

THE CHICKS IMPATIENT.
Couldn't Wait to be Hatched on
Scheduled Time.

The attendance at the poultry show yes
terday was large for the ming day, and
those who wandered up and down the long
alleys looking at the fine specimens of blood
ed chickens were we'll pleased with the ex-
hibits. The chickens take up all of the
floor space in the big hall. They are ar
ranged according to varieties. In one cor
ner-taking up nearly one-fourth of the
space-are the Light Brahmas, the largest
collection of this variety that has ever been
seen in the State. In another part of the
hall are the three classes of Plymouth
Rocks, the Wyandottes and other American
birds Then grouped together are the
Langshans, the Cochins, the Polish. and the
Leghorns.
Just now the stage is the center of at
traction. The chicks were rot long in fol-
lowing their elders Monday evening the
first little fellow pecked his way out of his
shell and it was not long before hundreds
were following his example, and by yes
terday morning half of the eggs in the in
cubators had Matched out. This was not
according to programme, but it could not
be helped. 1t was intended that the chick
ems should be Matched out at the rate OF
about 400 a day, but they have upset all
calculations by getting in on the first day
of the show. Last night fully 1900 chicks
were grouped in the artificial breeders, and
the noise of the chickens in the other parts
of the hall.
The judges began working last night. but
when the show closed for the night they
We're not through with the first class, the

high, and several specimens which had been

Barker, Thorntown, Ind, and James A.

Plainfield, has his exhibit of St. Bernard
dogs. He has always exhibited at the poul-
try shows, and while no premiums are Of
fered for dogs he is making his usual ex-

year. There are several tickets in the field
