The width of Rows.

In planting corn, cotton, potatoes,
and, in fact, all horse-hoed crops, the
rows should be placed far enough apart
to permit the free use of improved
tillage tools, and close enough to enable
such tools to thoroughly work the en-
tire space between rows without an
extra passage to 'cut out the middles."

Guard Against Overlooking.

1t is an easy matter for a poultry
raiser to overfeed his fowls. If flock
has the privilege of range the farmer
need give hardly any food at all if grass,
seeds and insects are plentiful, yet
some who are really careful of their
hens feed three times day, under the
belief that the more food the greater
the number of eggs, and endeavoring to
secure as many eggs as possible they
get the hens in a condition that in
capacitates them entirely. Heavy feed
ing of grain is at times an advantage,
such as during extremely cold weather,
but the food must be regulated not only
according to the seasons, but also in
accordance with the condition of the
hens.-Dakota Field and Farm.

Grace Lease Hurt.

New YORK, June 22.-Grace Lease, the lit
tie daughter of Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Lease, of
Kansas, was painfully injured while riding BIZ
cycle last evening OH Sherwood avenue.
The girl is visiting friends at $40 Mott ave-
nue.. After dinner she went out alone on her
wheel. She proceeded without mishap to One
Hundred and Sixty-fourth street. There she
met cab going at rapid pace, and to avoid it
she turned sharply to the side of the street.
She evidently became confused, for she fell from
her wheel almost under the wheels of the cab.
The driver reined up his horse at once and leap
ed to the ground to assist her. She was unable
to walk, and he put her in his vehicle and took
her to the home of her friends.
The family physician was summoned and
found that the girls right knee-cap was frac-
tured, and it will be several weeks before she
will be able to walk.

ENGLISH royalty costs the taxpayers of Eng
land over $40, ooo, 900. No one is able to tell
how much our royalty costs our people, because
we have so many kings. England's royalty,
originally, was self-mposed. Everywhere,
royalty imposed itself at the point of the bayo-
net In America, royalty is imposed at the
point of capital. In Europe, WORKOUT families
are royal. In America, the man with the dollar
is royal. We talk whole lot about education,
and we accord learned men certain amount OF
honor, but it is the man who accumuates
wealth who is looked up to. This is an abom-
ination and ought to stink in the nostrils of all
self-respecting people. Mind is above money,

the man who grasps wealth. Give us MAIL

railway. The law required the Union Pacific
to deposit certain percetage of its gross earn
ings in what was termed sinking fund.- Great
ed for the purpose of enabling the government
to protect itself from loss, in case of proceed
ngs taken by the owners of the first mortgage
bonds. The road has allowed the interest pay
ments to lapse on these first mortgage bonds, or
some of them, as is asserted for the sole object
OF enabling the first mortgage bondhoders to
institute foreclosure proceedings, sell out the
road under the first mortgage, and defraud the
government of all its rights as second mortgage.
Senator Harris's resolution instructs the
president, to, at once, have paid from the treas
ury, from this sinking fund, enough to pay for
all bonds which are in litigatson, thus prevent
ing suits by the first mortgage, which he is law
fully allowed to do, under existing law now in
force.
After quoting the law, the senator's resolu
ton reads as follows:
"That it is the sense of the senate that the
president should, in strict accordance with the
above-quoted statute, direct the secretary of the
treasury to carry out the provisions of said Act
amount liens, mortgages and membranes on
said railroad by paying the sums lawfully due
in respect thereof out of the treasury to the
holders of prior liens, and direct the secretary
of the treasury thereupon to take control and
management of said railroad and all the prop
erty, real and personal, in any manner belong
ing thereto; or if that shall not be deemed the
wiser course to pursue, that the president should
direct the attorney-general to take such steps
and proceedings in the courts and otherwise as
shall be needful to redeem such property from
any prior mortgage, lien, or incumbrance nee
essary and proper to defend the interests of the
United States in respect to the matters IN said
Act of congress mentioned, and to take steps
to forecose any mortgage or lien of the United
States on any of said railroad property.
And the president is hereby requested to in
form the senate what action, if any, has been
taken under the provisions of this law to pre-
tect the interest of the United States"
The plan presented by Senator Harris will
prevent the government losing cent by reason
of its loan to the Union Pacific. Washington

Wine at the White House.

The following, taken from the Baltimore
Sun, we clip from the Champion of Freedom
and Right (liquor organ), of Chicago
On the authority Of that limited but very
active class of persons who are perpetually oc-
cupied in undertaking to regulate the manners
and morals of the remainder of the world, it
was stated some time since that no liquor of any
kind would be served at the White House dur
ing the Mckinley administration. Mr.. Nc
Kinley never authorized any such assertion.
Through the same sources it was announced
just prior to the Inauguration ball that no
liquors would be served upon that occasion.
1t is, perhaps, the fact that no liquors were
openly sold at the Inauguration ball, but there
was very considerable amount dispensed in
complimentary way In the private rooms set
apart for the president and his immediate fol-
lowing, and afterward for hundreds of especial
guests, there was constant flow of cham
payne
President Mckinley, while altogether mod
crate in his use of stimulents, is not, and new
er has been, a teetotaler. Notwithstanding the
"authorized statements" above alluded to,
liquors have been included to in the menu of
his entertainments whenever in his judgment,
common sense, etiquette and propriety required
it.
Such an occasion was the reception given
week or ten days since to the delegates to the
postal congress- Probably in the whole mem
bership of that body there was not one man in
twenty unaccustomed to the use of wine when
eating. No one present observed any i'll effects
accruing from this adherence to social usage
and etiquette the world over. Yet in the quar-
tiers not difficult to conjecture criticism has been
directed upon the President, and he mas been
accused of violating a rule which he never laid
down.
Notwithstanding these criticisms, it is under
stood the present occupant of the White House
will follow the example of his predecessors and
determine for himself as to the propriety of his
Conduct in this as in other respects. Mr..
Hayes took one line of action all [elected]
Presidents took the other.

Chicago. Dec. 22.-Mrs. George Nj

was given $4,000 in cash, the homestead
in Chicago. and the income from 81
0,0O0 during her life, the sum TO re-
vert to the estate after her death.
Her acceptance Of the Will would
have made it practically impossible Tor
her to leave anything to the two sons
who were practically disinherited by
their father. Her third interest as
dover gives her sS.0O0,00O in personal
property and a one-third interest for
life in the real estate held by Mr. Pull
man. This estimate makes the estate
| of Mr.. Pullman aggregate at least slo'-
| 900. 600 instead Ct $7,0O0,000 as announced
Immediately after his death.
