Early Fall Flowing.

The advantages of fall blowing over
the same operation in the spring are
dwelt upon by Prof. H Snyder, of the
College of Agriculture of the University
of Minnesota.
Fall blowing keeps the humus and
nitrogen of the soil 10 better condition
than late spring blowing. Nitrifcation
goes on in the soil until quite late in
the fall, and in the south the process
goes on the entire year, The change is
most rapid near the surface, where there
is plenty of oxygen from the air. In
early fall blowing tho available nitrogen
formed from the humus is near the sur
face where it does the sproutiug seeds
and the young crops the most good
With late spring blowing, this available
nitrogen is plowed under, and inert or
ganic nitrogen is brought to the surface
In old soils the process Of nitrification
does not 60. on rapidly enough to fur
nish available nitrogen TO the crop. In
a new soil the process Of nitrifeation is
liable to go on too rapidly. Deep pillow
ing and thorough cultivation aid in
notification. Hence, the longer the soil
is cultivated, the deeper and more thor.
ough must be its preparation. Flowing
must be done at the right time, prefer
ably in the fall SO as not to interfere
with the next years water supply. The
application of lime and wood ashes aids
in the reduction of nitrogen Of humus to
available forms, and prevents the forma-
ton of sour mold. Good drainage is
also necessary to nitriication in the soil
In water-logged soils the humus does
not decompose normally, but peat is pro-
duced on account of the absence of oxy-
gen. We thus see that nitrifcation.
although sometimes serious source of
loss. may be largely controlled by care

o'clock in the morning the officer turned
him around ana advised him to get ont

bic. Then Hull said he was sick, and
went into the woods tight OF the road 10y

know the man was carrying concealed

went into the woods.
HULL FIRES HIS REVOLVER.
HIS first intimation,tbat the man was
law breaker was when he heard shot
fired and then folt something tearing
through his clothing. Before no could
realize the effect Of the bullet another shot
rang in the air, but fortunately the bullet
went wide of the mark. The officer had
mounted his horse after he gave the man
permission TO go into the woods, but af-
ter third shot he quickly dismounted
ard rushed for the woods. The officer
fired one shot from his own pistol as he
ran into the woods.
The woods there are dark and thick
and there are very few houses near the
place None of the inmates of these
houses heard the shots The officer when
he got we'll into the woods saw man
and they both rolled around in the brush
Finally the man seemed to suddenly lose
his strength and the officer ran 10 the two
nearest houses and tried to awake the
persons asleep thsre-,rhe effort did not
prove successful, so Luby sent in o call
from the police telegraph box.

Hull was about go years old, and worked
in Mason's slaughter house, and the place
where he met his death is about a mile
from his home, which was near the
slaughter house. The dead man did not
bear a good character. He was in the
habit of overindulglng in alcoholic stim-
ulants, and they were indirectly the
cause of his death. 1t Is believed that he

sons arc of the opinion that, having

by the Episcopal convention Of tho diocese
Of Rhodo Island 10 the important position
Of bishop coadjutor.
Dr. Richards and DIR. MoNickar are
friends Of long standing, and the inter.
view was of tho most informal and
friendly character.
A representative Of Tn, News waited
upon DIR. Richards tbs morning with the
inquiry as to whether DIR. McViokar had
or had not decided to accept the call.
DIR. Richards stated that the matter at
the IRE ent-tims was entirely in the darls
and not only did he not know what de-
cision DR. Mcvickar would ultimately
reach. bht it was his opinion that no one
would know for 10 days or more.
"Of. course" said DIR. Richards, IA
man of the character and standing OF
Dr. MoVickar, who has been stationed
at given place so long as ho, has
formed great many attachments, and a
parting from his people would be a matter

a man worthy OF his position, otherwise
we should not want him here.

Sentiment Growing in
Republican Favor.
INDEPENDENT FEELING
In Favor Of Republican Candidate
For Mayor.
NO DICKERS WITH DEMOCRACY.

With the exception Of Wards T. and 4
but little is demanded of the taxpaying
vote in the election next Tuesday. The
council tickets of the Republican eau
cuses in the Republican wards were 40
good as elected upon their nomination,
outside of Wards and 4, and all that Ia
left for the taxpaying vote is to ratify
thase nominations
This concentrates the Interest on the
mayoralty contest and makes tho taxpay-
ing vote an unusually aggressive force
IL deciding that election. That the sem
timcnt in favor of Col. Ksndrick's candi-
dacy Is growing every day among the
taxpayers is very clear. The candidate is
strong by reason Of his record and tested
capacity. and he has voluntarily pledged
himself to promote such changes in the
taxation laws as shall relieve the burdens
now suffered while sacrificing nosac VT
the interests Of the city. Economy and
not short sighted restriction of expsnd-
itures is what is demanded, and Col
Kendrick appreciates the situation.
The political lines are sharply drawn
because of the renewed allegiance of the
Independents Republican vote to the or
ganization, inspired by the character of
the partys nonincs for Mayor. and the
sliding back into the SDemocracy of such
Democrats as have affiliated with the in
dcrcndent movement during the past
two years. The eturn of these Demo-
crats has been brought about by the ill-
concealed threat that, whereas there 10
no objection to their independence so long
as independence makes for Democratic
success, the Democratic machine will see
to IL that no party favors are available to
the party muV. amps IL their indcpen-
dence helps Republican victory. This
has been the policy OF the men now In
control o! the Democrats organization.
and was demonstrated when the Maguire
faction brought the Dorney- -McGuinness
faction to terms, giving only in return
for the sacrifice, the nomination of q
McGuinness Democrat for Mayor, who
has only the remotest chance Of being
elected.
A contrary policy has ruled In the
Republican organization. The party
leaders have neither begged or bulliod the
independent vote. They have refraincd
from making deals or dickers with tho
Democrats on the propositions advanced
by ths latter looking to combination
that would DO calculated to crush the
g1od government movement Maintaining

Money Made by n Blacksmith.

Tacoma once had a mint that coined
all the money in circulation where the
City of Destiny now stands, and it did
not require the fiat of Uncle Sam. the
silver of Idaho or the gold of Cali
fornia to make the pieces from Taco
mas mint pass current among the In
dams and the few hardy pioneers that
were blazing the path of civilization
through the forest on the shores of
Commencement bay.
Back in the early seventies, SO saws
the Tacoma Leader, the Tacoma Mail
Company, not being able to handily Sc
cure gold and silver for use in trading
with and paying off the Indian laborers
and early settlers, hit upon the novel
plan of issuing their own currency, and
to this end set their blacksmith Mt
work to fashion for them out of scraps
Of iron and brass pieces of money or.
rather, tokens, which could be used as
circulating medium. The pieces con-
sisted OF 40 and 45 cent iron tokens and
brass 81 pieces. The Accent pieces were
about the size of the present half dol
lar. The one-dollar pieces were oval
In shape, about an inch and quarter
long, an inch wide and sixteenth of
an inch in thickness. These pieces
were stamped with the figures show
Ing their value, and readily passed cur.
rent all over the country tributary to
the mill. Nearly all this old mill"
coin has passed away, but few days
ago William Hanson, of the Tacoma
Mill Company, presented a set of these
queer coins TO the Ferry Museum. In
his letter he said:
THE honesty of the people aud the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company made the use of
this money possible"
Oregon has long boasted of the "Bca-
yer" coin minted at Oregon City in the
early fifties as the only money minted
In the Northwest in the days of the
