resolution he had formed and hurriedly
left the house.
The woman crawled along the floor to
the water pail and washed some of the
blood out Of her eyes. She then picked
up her baby and, crawling and stagger-
ing, managed to make her way to the field
where her husband was at work.
Tells the Thrashers.
She presented a terrible appearance
when the brawny young farm hands first
caught sight of her. The farmers ran to
her assistance, and she just had strength
enough left to say that a strange man had
come to the house and almost killed her
She gave general description of the
man and then fell unconscious. There
were fifteen or twenty hands at work
thrashing the wheat when Mrs. Fenska
appeared and told her terrible story. With
shouts of anger they dropped their work
and hurried away for firearms. Among
these farmers were Frank Baker, Henry
Wiemerslage, Fritz Kossack, Henry
Rhoda, Karl Linneway, Adolph Rolls,
George Kotze, Johann Nettinger, Louie
Koltze, Fred Koltze, Jr., Henry Kanberg,
William Konzoele, Johann Hanson.
The men, soon REINFORCED by others,
quickly armed themselves with pitchforks,
clubs, army muskets and stones, and with
in an hour had their victim surrounded in
q corn field. He ran from cover to cover;
one pursuer climbed a telegraph pole, and
though he was the target for score of
shots from the desperado's revolver, kept
his companions informed Of the latter's
position. Not until the hunted man had
expended all his ammunition and been
wounded so severely as to prevent further
flight, was he overpowered.
There was nothing about him to identify
him. His revolvers, a razor, $34 in
money, miscellaneous contents of his
pockets, and his action in searching the
Fecska house, indicate that he was
robber.
Nothing will be done to punish the men
who took part in the lynching.
The farmers celebrated their triumph
over their murderous victim with shouts
of ioy. They took his death as personal
victory for each and every one who leaves
his wife and children unprotected while
he is Mt work in the field. Quick death,
they vowed. should be the fate they had
in store for any person who should take
advantage of their absence to work injury
70 the helpless ones at home. They boast
cd of the vengeance which they had sery-
cd out to the stranger.

Some of the most amusing anecdotes
are told about President Lincoln, re-
lating to incidents of his life when he
was a young lawyer practising in the
courts OF Illinois. 1t Is said that he
was once engaged in case in which
the lawyer on the other side made a
very voluable speech full of wild state
ments to the jury. Lincoln opened his
reply by saying:
My friend, who has just spoken to
you, would be all right if it were not
for one thing, and | don't know that
you ought to blame him for that, for
he can't help 1t. What | refer to is his
reckless statements without any ground
OF truth. You have seen instances of
this in his speech to you. Now, the rea-
son OF this lies In the constitution of
his mind. The moment he begins to
talk. all his mental operations cease,
and he is not responsible. He is, in
fact. much like little steamboat that
| saw on the Sangamon River when |
was engaged in boating there. This lit
lie steamer had fiye-foot boiler and
I seven-foot whistle, and every time it
whistled the engine stopped"

A YANKEE SCHOOLMARM.

She Goes to the Klondike Regions and
and Takes "A school House with Her.
Here's a Yankee schoolmarm with q
truly Yankee idea. She has gone to
the Klondike to set up school, and
has taken the schoolhouse with her!
Bright woman, isn't 1t?
The civilizing influence Of the school
will thus be brought into close juxta-
position with the faro lay outs and the
dance halls which invariably follow the
strike of gold the world over. The re-
suit should be of great good and use
fulness to the peace and welfare of the
klondjke metropolis.
Mrs. IL. c. Rowland, of San Francis
CO, formerly Miss NJ. e. Glenn, of Bos-
ton, is this enterprising woman. She
has sailed for Alaska, and will open a
school at Dawson City.
Mrs. Rowland is a graduate of the
Harvard Annex (Radcliffe), and is we'll
qualified for the task she has under
taken. She is accompanied by her hus-
band, who has spent some years in the
work. Mrs. Rowland is aware that at
present there are very few children IL
any, at Dawson City, and her first
classes will probably be bearded men,
who will seize the opportunity to get
a little book larnin'" during the long
winter months when mining is impos-
sible.
In the hold of the steamer upon
which the plucky schoolmarm sailed
was the material for a schoolhouse in
sections, already to set up, with prop
er supply of books, states, maps and
stationery.
The school building is constructed
especially for its environment. There
Is fiat, sloping roof. so that the snow
can be easily shoyeled off. The win
dows are high above the ground. That
Is to prevent the snow from drifting
over them. Everything has been con-
sidered that will be conducive to COM
fort.
A big wood stove will be placed in a
corner to keep things warm. There
will be only one door, and that will
open into small room, through which
a door will open into the schoolroom.
This part of the building will be SO
arranged that one door must be closed
before the other can be opened. This
will avoid all draughts.
The school will accommodate fifty
pupils. Mr.. Rowland will prospect for
gold while Mrs. Rowland teaches the
young idea to shoot.
When Mrs. Rowland left her Eastern
home and settled in San Francisco she
became attached to the repertorial
force of the San Francisco Examiner.
She abandoned active newspaper work
after her marriage. She is a bright
and entertaining writer, and her writ
ten impressions of the klondike and
the result of her efforts to establish
the little red schoolhouse on a glacier
will be awaited with interest as a
unique experiment in education.

NEW INVENTIONS.

With the use of new wash boiler
1t is not necessary to scrub the clothes
hard. the dirt being largely removed
by the action of the water in the boiler,
series of pipes extending down
through the boiler into the stove to
force the water out onto the clothes as
it becomes heated.
Clothes-pins are now being manu-
factured which have the opening to
grip the line placed in the side of the
pin instead of in the end, so that the
pin can be attached to the line by
pulling down instead of pushing, the
Jaw on one side being elongated so as
to be grasped by the hand.
Medicine which tastes bad can be
easily taken by means of newly de-
vised glass, which has partition in
the centre to separate the medicine
from liquid to wash 1t down, the par
tition preventing the two from mixing
and allowing the wash to flow out by
tipping the glass higher up.
Magazine lead pencils are being plac-
ed on the market, the lead being di-
vided into short sections. each of which
has point, and as soon as one is
worn down II is slipped from the jaw
and another drops down into place. the
magazine being reloaded through the
jaws when 1t becomes empty.
For the purpose of removing horses
from burning buildings a new fire
mask has been placed on the market,
consisting of a hood to cover the eyes
and nostrils to prevent the horse from
seeing the fire or smelling the smoke,
the device being easily slipped over the
animals head and fastened with a
strap.
A new portable saving machine for
telling trees and cutting them up into
wood has a folding frame with large
balance wheel geared to crank-shaft
with the saw blade attached to the
end of the crank to slide through
grooves in the frame, the saw being
run by crank on the other end OF the
| shaft.
Fires can be easily kindled by means
OF a new invention, which consists Of
a couple Of hollow bricks, which can
be attached to each other after being
| filled with abestos. when they are
| placed in a pail containing oil to alb
/ sorb a sufficient quantity to ignite the
| fire when a match is applied to the
bricks.

The Canadian Apple Crop.

AS the reports given us by differ
ent parties agree in the main, we
publish them with greater confidence as
affording a pretty accurate idea of the
yield. In the majority of the orchards
west OF Toronto as far as st. Gather
ines, the prospects favor good crop
of Greepings and Northern Spies, the
fruit having clean and fine appear
ance; but red fruit, such as Baldwins,
are comparative failure. West of
st. Catherine moderately good crop
of Greetings is promised and a fair
yield Of Spies with good sprinkling
OF Russets. There Is the same paucity
of red apples In these sections as motto,
ed between st. GATHERINGS and Hamil-
ton and in sections north and north
west of Toronto. East of Toronto, as
far as Brockville, there will be fair
crop OF green fruit, and in some or
charde GOOD sprinkling of red fruit

GOOD POTTS
In the PicIIing of Cucumbcrs MS n Win
ter Crop.


In the Picl,linG of Cucumbcrs MS Win
ter Crop.
Forcing vegetables under glass In
winter has been abundantly proved to
be profitable. On account of the great
competition in producing picking Gu
cumbers in summer and because they
are not generally grown in winter, l
believe good profits are open to those
who will successfully produce them un-
der glass. The prices realized in win
ter will be larger than in summer, and
the production in forty-foot green
house will, with proper cultivation, ex-
ceed that of a quarter acres cultivated
in summer. The gherkin is more pro-
ductive than the English cucumber, and
the exhaustion of the vines Is less be-
cause the crop is gathered when the
fruit is quite small.
A narrow commercial greenhouse
with benches on eachside and an even
span roof is the proper structure for
the purpose. The benches should be
ten inches in depth and three or four
feet wide; here one line OF plants, two
feet apart Is sufficient, and light wire
strung across the house from the gut
ter beam to the ridge, and down again
to the opposite gutter beam will serve
as frame for the vines. The wires
twelv einches apart should be twelve
inches from the glass at each side,
and eighteen inches in the centre.
The proper coil is a rich sandy loan
from an old pasture, one part to three
of well-rotted manure, and one part
to twelve of crushed bones, one-quar-
/ ter-inch size, all to be well mixed to-
gether. On the bottom of the benches
place three inches of well-rotted ma
nure, pounded down firmly, and on this
| manure make hills two feet apart and
even with the top of benches, using the
prepared soil and also covering the ma
nure to about one inch with the same.
I The house will then be ready to receive
the plants.
For early winter use seed Is to be
sown early in September. The plants
may be raised either in a covered
frame. or in the house where they are
to be grown. For starting the plants
have some finely-sifted soil, sowing the
seeds in three-inch pots, first placing
in the bottom of each pot the well-rot-
ted-manure. Fill the pots one-third up
with the prepared soil, SOW three seeds
IN each pot, cover with SOIL and
plunge 10 the rim in covered frame or
in sheltered part OF the greenhouse
leaving them there until the seedlings
are ready for repotting, and giving no
water until all the seeds are above
ground.
~ soon rs the seedlings show the
rcu.h ttrue) leaves, they are ready for
. ieqO.ting. Each plant should now be
repotted singly in three-inch pot in
the sane way as when sowing the
seed. plunging each pot TO the rim TO
remain thus Tor two weeks when 1t will
! be ready for planting in the perman-
elt quarters. After repotting, the
Plants should be watered with fine
sr~''ilier once every day until estab-
llshed.

Fruit Crop Prospects.

The crop report just issued by the
United States Department OF Agricul-
ture shows rs a whole that prospects
for peaches, apples and grapes are not
so good as they were the same time
last year.
With few exceptions. the reports on
the peach crop are unfavorable. In
New York 1t is said to be in rather
poor condition; in New Jersey not
very good; in Pennsylvania only mod
crate; in Delaware less than ten per
cent. of the average crop; in Maryland
a small crop; in Georgia less than half
crop; in Kentucky average below last
year; in Ohio almost an entire failure.
The peach crop of Arkansas, on the
other hand, is reported as good the
California crop fair; the Washington
crop never better, and that OF Oregon
more promising than 1t was last sea-
son.
OF apples it is said that the crop is
below the average, except in the far
West and on the Pacific Coast. From
all the North Atlantic States the re-
ports are more or less unfavorable. In
Ohio the fruit is dropping off badly,
and indications are that the present
condition OF forty-six per cent. will
prove to be too high rather than too
low. Michigan has an average of
only fifty-three as compared with nine,
ty-nine at this time last year.
AS to grapes, the crop in New York
is said to be in poor condition; that of
New Jersey fairly good the crop Of
Pennsylvania only moderate; while
the crop in Delaware is generally fine;
grapes in Virginia are reported as
abundant and free from rot so far; in
Georgia the crop promises WE'LL Ken
tucky reports the grape crop in good
condition. Ohio, as having suffered
less than other fruits, but still not in
dicating an unusually large yield: in
Indiana the crop has been injured by
late frost; Missouri, nearly a normal
crop of good quality; Kansas, the crop
is very satisfactory; Nebraska, above
the average, both as to yield and quail
ity.

HELD FOR MURDER.
Four Men Arrested by Coroner shlndel
in Shamokin.

On Thursday afternoon Coroner
DR.. w. l.. Shindel, of Sunbury, was
In Shamokin investigating the murder
of Frank Kuntz. He boarded in Mt.
Carmel and his dead body was found
along the railroad track on Sunday
morning September 90. At first it
was supposed that he had attempted
to jump train going from Shamokin
to Nit. Carmel and fell under. He
was a former resident of Brady and
left that place for Mt. Carmel last
spring. Paul Mazakeewide, Mike
Erlis, Sylvester Baulovlck and An
tonic Erlis have beeu arrested for the
crime. They were given a hearing
on Thursday. The evidence shows
that the men were with Kuntz on
Saturday evening, and it was discov-
cred that fight had taken place at d
little gully near the railroad track and
that the men had carried him to the
track after he had been killed, Maza-
keewide had stolen a watch from
Kuntz and $50 in money, and had
often threatened that he would kill
him.
