THE NEW AND THE OLD WAY.

Leave the sods at one side. They will
decay in Il year or two. Alarge amount
of road work can be done in a short
time with comfort to mar and beast,
by using one of the improved road
grades. Four men with their teams
make Il good force: one man and team
for the pillow, the others for the grader.
1t will pay any town handsomely to
invest in the most improved machinery
for road work. When grading the road,
be careful not TO get the grade too
wide. Make it just wide enough for
teams to pass. II will flatten out with
use and wet weather.
y great aid in keeping the road dry
is a row of tiles laid on either side at
the outer edges of the grade. These
should not be laid too deep, for the
surface will become packed so that the
water will not readily soak through.
But if the grade is the proper form the
water will run off the surface so rapid
ly hat comparatively little will soak
in; and as the tile and laying them add
largely to thu cost of the road they
may usually be dispensed with. All
doubtless realize the truthfulness of the
lower illustration and the difficulty of
getting about over such highways, the
loss of time and money, the wear and
tCar of horses, harnesses and wagons
resulting from attempts to move loads
Mt the very season when farmers have
the most time TO 10 such work. H. the
summer when the farmers are busy
with their crops, the roads are usually
dry and any kind is good enough, The
low price for which farm lands sell is
due in a large measure to the poor high
ways. With better roads the value of
the lands rapidly increases. Examples
of this can be found in every county.
Farms located along good, hard roads
are in constant demand at prices far in
excess of those situated at Il distance
from such roads. Wherever other work
will permit, farmers can well afford to
give 4 few days work On the roads in
stead of feeling it a hardship to nave to
work the time required by law. Work
them thoroughly, each neighborhood
for itself. The labor and time spent
will return 100 fold in the increased
value of property and in the ease and
comfort of travelling. - Farm and

Winter in the Northwest.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Jan. "A blizzard
Is blowing tonight in this section
owe IN area % miles north and
south and GOO miles east and west.
Over most of Minnesota it has been
showing from IA to 20 hours, and there
IS from seven inches to 16 inches of
snow on the ground. The wind is
blowing a gale from the north. The
snow Is damp and packs 50 solidly on
the railway tracks that it is diff cult
for the snow plows to work through it.
The snow has also made a wreck of the
telegraph wires to the north and west
of ST. Paul. All trains are still NOV
ing, though some of them are hours
late. South Dakota dispatches say
the storm extends as far west as the
Black Hills. In the region along the
Missouri river, from Chamberlain south
to II North Dakota line, railway
trains have great difficulty in moving,
some of them having been abandoned
for the night. The temperature is
from Is to Is degrees above zero,
though at 3 o'clock it was growing
colder. There will be suffering among
live stock if the mercury drops to
zero.

An oId-Fashioned Blizzard.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 3.-Nebraska il
just now enjoying an old-fashioned
blizzard, the most serious of the win
ter. New Years day was springlike
and mild, but Friday night the tenn
perature began to fall and the mercury
has continued it's descent since. Last
evening a snow storm set in, which is
general throughout the state, and
which is still falling tonight. High
winds are drifting the snow, and if they
continue through the night may make
the situation On the plains alarming.
At ten O'Clock tonight the thermom-
eter at the local weather bureau reg
istered three degrees above zero, and
the chances are that the temperature
will fall several points below zero be-
fore tomorrow night. Serious suffer-
ing is sure to result in the central por-
ton of the state, where the wind has
full sway.
From every section Of the state
come reports of winds driving the
now in binding clouds before it SO
that it is dangerous for anyone to VEN
ture u
At Meadow Grove the storm began
about midnight Saturday night and a
blizzard has been raging ever since
with no signs of abatement. Drifts
I over ten feet high and traffic is
becoming blocked.
Hardy reports IS hours OF co%ntinu-
Gus snow and wind and serious drift
ing. From that place and Central
City come stories of a like nature
with high drifts and falling tempera-
ture, as the night approached the
storm seeming to increase in violence,
with every prospect of its continuing
for many hours. There is much stock
being cared for on the ranges in Ne
bra ska and it will be several days be-
fore news is received as to how the
herds and those in charge have been
affected.
Lincoln is almost snow-bound. Street
car traffic on suburban lines was
abandoned during the day and at 9
o'clock nearly every line vas blocked.
Trains on nearly every road entering
the city are delayed. Specials from
over the state indicate that the storm
is general and that cattle on the range
may suffer.

Chicago DsIuged with Rain.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-The rain storm
which has prevailed over Chicago and
northern Illinois uninterruptedly for
three days has been the severest eX-
perienced in this locality Tor two
years. The observations taken az the
weather bureau in this city tonight
showed that the rainfall was 2M inches
since the beginning of the storm early
New Years morning. The tempera-
ture fell 20 degrees in this city during
the last eight hours, and at IL o'clock
tonight the rain turned to Snow. 1t
is not expected by the weather bureau
that the til ermometer will reach the
zero mark, although they predict a
temperature considerably below freez-
ing before tomorrow evening.
In Chicago considerable damage was
done by the ~downpour of rain, espe-
cially in the suburbs, where the sewers
were insufficient to carry away the
volume of water. Flooded cellars
were numerous, while at Grand Cross
ing and nearby suburbs the streets
were inundated and the damage heavy.
In low places it is impossible for pc
destrians to move without wading i'll
deep water and boats were brought
into use.
At Austin and Oak Park, on the
West Side, the conditions were annoy
ing. Easements are flooded with sew
eral feet of water and furnace fires in
many localities were extinguished.
The pumping works at Bridgeport
are being operated with great diff
Guilty. 1t was thought at one time
this evening that the pumps would
bave to be shut down on account
of the rapidly accommodating water,
but the fl Judgates were resorted to and

instances the blocks have been hoated
out of position by the water and the
street loft in an impossible condition.

WILLIAM 4.

Second Vice-President OF the Failed M
tiOnal Bank of Illinois. Ends His Troubles
In Lake M~Ichigan-He Left His Home
ut Evanston During the Night, and After
a Long Search His Body was Found in
the Lake.
Chicago, Jan. Nv. A. Hammond,
second vice-president of the National
Bank of Illinois, which failed a week
ago Monday, has followed the example
of Banker Wasmanscorff and COM
mittcd suicide. Hammond mysteri-
ously disappeared from his elegant
home in Evanston, Il suburb Of this
city, and the theory was at once ad.
vanccd that he had thrown himself
into the lake from the Dempster street
pie. On the pier was found some pa
pers which were positively identified
as belonging to the banker.
Hammond left his home secretly
some time during the night, and when
his departure WAS discovered by mem
berS of the family the greatest alarm
was manifested, as it is claimed his
relatives had feared from his manner
and actions recently that he might
attempt self-murder. As soon as his
absence was discovered the Evanston
police We're notified, and a searching
party OF citizens was organized. He
had been seen by several persons who
knew him, and the route he had taken
led in the direction of the old Foster
pier at the foot of Demster street.
a thorough search was made, and at
the lake end were found a number of
papers which We're at once recognized
as his. The conclusion was at once
arrived at that he had thrown himself
into the lake, and members of the DO
lice, together with members of the
Evanston life-saving crew, were sum
moned, and proceeded to drag the lake
in search OF the remains. At noon u
tug and 4 diver arrived from Chicago
to aid in the search.
1t was claimed and suspected by
persons who know something of liam
mond's disposition that the search for
his body would be Il fruitlesS one, and
that instead of jumping into the lake
he hid the papers in = conspicuous
place on the pier and then quietly left
Evanston and Illinois. 1t was claimed
that he was too self-possessed and cal
culating a man to resort to suicide,
and that he mas simply gone into Sc
clusion. These S~peculatipnS, however,
were set at rest at 1890, when the
body was recovered from the lake.

rigid Investigation is now going on

and his property divided, besides gil
gautic frauds against the government

THE TREASURY STATEMENT
Shows an Excess of Receipts Over Er'

Shows an Excess of Receipts Over Er-
penditures for December.
WAsIuNGToN, Jan. 3-The treasury
balance sheet for December shows ali
excess of receipts owe expenditures OF
S65I ,OOO. This is explained by the fact
that the December disbursements each
year are below tine average. The de
felt for the six months closed Thurs
day is $50. 2J5, 732. against Sl5,327, 80
for the corresponding period of last
year. The receipts for the six months
were, in round numbers, Sl57, 500. O0C
and the disbursements Sl96, 500, OOD.
Compared with the same period
OF 1885 there was 4 falling off in re
ceipts of $40, 600, OOO and an increase III
expenses of S14, 900, 600. The available
cash balance is reported at S227.6l5,-
46l, of which nearly SI3T, OO0, 900 is
gold. One year ago the available bal.
ance was SIT, 600, 600, of which less
than Sol. OG0, 600 was gold. There Will
be an unusually large deficit next
month, resulting from increased eX-
penditures, which will include large
payments on account OF interest and
the disbursement of several millions
in payment of the matured bonds OF
the Pacific railroads.

PERSISTENT RuMORS

OF the Rescue and Present Safety of Gen.
MaceO and of the Treachery of Zertucfa
beginning to Find Credence in Havana
and creating Great Excitement-If
Trae, Weyler May be Dragged Through
the streets.
HAVANA, Jan. ,, via Key West, Fla,
Jan. 3.-Reports that Maceo is alive
r coming constantly from the field,
and all tend to show hat he is recup-
Grating rapidly. Letters received in
Havana from his medical attendants
explain the nature>Of his wounds. and
confirm previous reports of the char
acter OF the same and repeat the story
OF ZertUchas treachery. They say
that MaceO, with his staff, came 10
meet Ahumada under a flag of truce,
and that Cirujeda and his forces were
ambushed. AS soon as Maceo APP
peared the Spaniards opened fire.
Maceo being in front fell froIu his
horse. Gomez also fell at his side.
The rest of the staff, some OF whom
were wounded, managed to escape and
reached Baldomero.
Acosta's camp instantly gathered all
- 'AAAAA az uoAiNN w IN ~
sistance. They made Il desperate Eight
and drove Cru ieda into Punta Hrava,
recovered the bodies and carried the
apparently dead Maceo with them.
lie remained unconscious four days
and five nights and when prepared for
burial it WAS found that he was ST.
alive. As soon as he was able TO b.
transported he was carried win the
greatest car and under 4 strO"g ca-
cort TO the Cienega hospital, thouEn
others say to Siguanea.
1t appears that the project of The
Cubans, as soon as Macco is aUie Il
move, is to send him to the United
States, and 4 steamer has already been
ordered for the purpose, and thus per-
sonally prove that lie is alive.
Great excitement prevails in IIa.
vana over the news. 1t is widely dis
cussed, and even the Spaniaris are
talking of the possibility of his being
alive. A member OF the produce cX-
change created Il sensation the other
day when he announced the fa ct, and
Il comnotion followed.
Weyler's position is critical and the
Spanlards are highly indignant at hi>
constant ~decepticns. Threats are
freely made that if Maceo IS alive
Weylcr Will be dragged through the
streets.
The excitement over the GUIANA
bacoa b~utcheries continues and terror
stricken families are still coming into
Havana. George Hyatt, another
American citizen residing III this
place, has asked for protection from
the United States consulate. Other
foreign residents did the same of their
respective ~consulateS.
The Gutcherics continue although it
is said hat orders nave been seut to
3. t'ondcviela to stop them, in view of
the publicity given them. Many resi-
dents who are unable to move lla-
vana, nightly come to stop i'll the city.
Names aud details are ~unobtainable,
as people fear to speak. 1t is only
known Thai the victims are taken
from their homes at night and carried
TO the outskirts and macheted. 1t Is
said that the number now exceeds 80.
There is reported friction between
Gen. Arolas and Weyler on account of
the former refusing to carry out the
order for the Wholesale determination
ofthe helpless people Of the district I'M
less Wcylcr the responsibility
by reporting the same for publicity,
which WeyIer refuses.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
WORKING THE a
Farmers Can Well Afford to Devote Their
Time to This Task.

Much has been said and written about
country roads and the proper way to
construct them to insure good ones the
year round. But much of it applies only
where gravel or crushed stone can be
obtained with which to make a road
bed unaffected by rains and standing
water. In many sections of the coun-
try gravel "a be had by hauling it
from creek and river beds, and where il
can be so obtained or purchased at 4
low figure the best possible use of time
and money is in securing and spread
ing this upon n read bed previously
graded into the proper form. If the
gravel is dumped upon 4 perfectly fiat
surface it becomes mixed with the soil
during wet weather and soon is lost.
The first thing to be done is to grade
the road. The crawling or m~acadamiz-
ing can then be done at leisure. The
upper illustration shows the best form
IF Inc road. The dirt from the bitches
at the sides is carried to the middle
and left in n rounded form, highest i'll
the center. Care must be taken TO make
the sides slope all the way from the
center to the bottom of the bitches,
or the water will stand in the says and
p~ercolate into the roadway, making it
soft and muddy. Make good outlets for
these bitches to carry the water off and
keep the road dry, and also that they
may serve for outlets for tile and for all
other farm drains.
Keep the surface of the road smooth
and free from sods, for those travelling
will not make martyrs of themselves
and bump over the rough places to
wear them down if the sides are smooth.

BANK CLOSED.
The Omaha Savings Bank Succumbs tn
Heavy Withdrawals.

OMAHA. Neb., Jan. 3.-Thc Omaha
savings bank failed to open for BUSH
ness. Ex-senator Henderson is presi-
dent of the bank and j. +. Wilbur is
cashier. The bank was estab-
lished in 1882. Six months ago
it's deposits were 81, 500, 600, but
Withdrawals have reduced them
to less than 5000. 600. The face value
of assets almost reaches 81, 100, 900 and
the capital and surplus are SlSj, OC0.
The clearinghouse banks declined to
assist the bank to the extent required
except Oh condition hat the stuckhold-
ers OF the failed bank would them
selves advance 500, 900 and take that
amount of real estate off the
banks hands. The failure was due to
the rapid Withdrawals of deposits DUR
ing the past three weeks, caused by
excitement resulting from bank fail
ures in Chicago and elsewhere. The
stockholders are men of means and
will give the necessary bond to cur
the appointment of a receiver of their
own selection, and pay all depositors
in inStallmentS.

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

One item in renovating an oldorchard
is to provide good drainage.
Generally grapes give a good return
for the land and labor required to grow
them.
Wood ashes make a good fertilizer for
Strawberries, raspberries, currants and
grapes.
Many injurious insects winter among
the dead leaves and branches. The
safest plan is to gather up and burn
them.
On warm soils the buds of fruit trees
often start early and are liable to be
ripped by frost. Mulching heavily in
the fall or early winter will largely pre-
veE: this.
1t is not best to dig the hole for the
tree any deeper than the tree is to be
planted. otherwise it will stand in 4
puddle of water.-St. Louis Republic.

XIII Of the Poor Calves.

If the calf is not 4 good one, it would
pc better to knock it in the head and
feed it to the chickens rather than raise
it for the dairy. 1t does not cost five
cents more to raise a good calf thar it
does a poor one and the cow that will
make 200 pounds of butter n year has
eaten no more up to the time she drops
her calf than one that will make only
$50. There is not Il fortune in the
dairy business at any event, but if we
raise calves from poor cows from which
to make up Our future herd there is q
loss.-National Stockman.
