Terracing Land-A Suggestion,

Aahu n SukktbIiOu,
Prof. c. M. Conner of Clemson Ag-
ricultural College, S. c., writing in
Colman's Rural World, y AS one
travels through that section of the
country east Of the Blue Ridge noun
tains, known as the Piedmont section,
he sees hillsides protected from wash
ing by terraces. The terrace prevents
the water from collecting in large bod
les and washing bitches. The water is
let down the hill more slowly, and a
large per cent soaks into the soil. The
effect of this method Is readily seer
during the dry season, the crops do not
suffer so badly as they do on hillsides
not terraced. 1t seems to me that this
method might be of some value to the
western farmer who keeps a large part
of his farm in grass, because the
ground would hold moisture better
during the dry season; and during the
heavy showers the water would not
flow off SO rapidly-more of it would
be held for the use of the plants. In
fact, it might increase the corn crop in
the same way, but it would require a
change in the system of farming to do
this. The lows Of corn and cotton are
run with the terrace, and as the ter
races are Of unequal width it necessi-
tates a large number of point rows.
These point rows are easily cultivated
with the o%ne-horse plows used in that
section, but where two-horse cultiva-
tors are used the point rows would be
Objectionable. This method also ne
cessitates planting the crops in drills,
which, as every n knows. requires
more or less hoeing.
Unfermented Grape Juice.-This de-
lightfully refreshing summer drink
may be made for about three or four
cents a quart bottle. Pick over the
grapes, rejecting all unsound ones, al
most cover with colo water in a porce-
lain-lined kettle, heat slowly (mash-
ing), and cook until all the juice is
freed. Drain in jelly-bag. Measure
the juice, add one-third of a cupful of
granulated sugar for each quart, boil
for -four minutes, bottle and seal. So
wholesome is this drink that the infer
mented "grape-juice cure" for dyspep-
STA has become a popular fad in Ger
many, and there is no doubt of its ben-
eficial quality.
Shallow Culture for Plum Trees
Special attention is called to deep Gull
ture of plum trees. The nitrogen feed
ing roots run very near the surface.
Culture deeper than three inches will
spoil the crop of a plum orchard. With
our long-pointed shovels few realize
how deeply the points reach, and how
large a proportion of the roots essential
to the perfection of the fruit are torn
off. All orchard and small fruit culture
should be very shallow, and the rolling
cultivators-set on an angle to stir the
soil about three inches-are far safer
land better than any pointed sheyel or.

SUSAN BEFORE CONGRESS-.
Miss Anthony Appeals to House and
Senate Committees.

Washington, Feb 16-The senate
committee on equal suffrage yesterday
granted a hearing in the senate marble
room to a large delegation of ladies
from the National Woman Suffrage as
Sociation now in convention in this city.
The addresses were all pleas, direct
or indirect for the granting the fran
chise to women.
The house committee also accorded
the delegation a hearing.
Miss Susan B. Anthony the president
of the association, made a strong plea
in which she pointed out the full Suf-
frage already granted in the British col
Onies, the Isle of Man, New Zealand and
South Australia. She referred to the
many voters less qualified than intelli-
gent women, spoke of ignOramuseS who
held the elective franchise and said the
government which refused women any
right of suffrage was casting the ballot
privileges to foreigners reaching our
shores and extending them the fran
chise practically unasked.
Yesterday was the 18th anniversary
president of the association and she
was given a luncheon by Mrs. John r.
Mclean, who afterwards received the
members of the association at her
home.

ST. JOHN CLEARS 1T UP.
He Explains the Indignation" Meet
ing Held at Olathe.
Olathe, Kas., Feb. Is, 1898

..
To the Editor of the State Journal:
Loren w. Snepp is an honest consci-
entiOus druggist, doing a leading and
legitimate business in this city. He is
a total abstainer from the use of in
toxicating liquors as a beverage. A
week ago he told me that he had been
greatly embarrassed in handling alcO-
hOlic liquors necessary in conducting
his business. He said he desired to
avoid, if possible, even technical viO-
latiOn of the prOhibitory law. I told
him that the only safe course to pur-
sue was to take out q druggists permit
as provided by statute. Mr.. Snepp is
a citizen of high standing, a legitimate
druggist and registered pharmacist The
constitution of Kansas exceptS the sale
of liquors for medical, mechanical and
scientific purposes. The statute makes
express provisions for such sale under
the most rigid limitations. This law
was made by prohibitionists- 1t is
good law, and it's provisions are rea-
sonable and just.
Mr. .Snepp, being a loyal citizen, de-
sired to strictly comply with the con-
stitution and laws of Kansas united
with more than fifty citizens who may
be counted among the best men and
women of Olathe, in asking that he
might be permitted to do so. In other
words we desire that whatever liquor is
sold here shall be confined to the ex-
cepted purposes provided by the laws
of our state.
There was no Indignation meeting
calIeu, except IN the minus OF one OF
two politicians. A meeting was held
in the Baptist church. A resolution
protesting against issuing druggists
permits was introduced and later on,
upon motion of the gentleman who pro-
posed it, the meeting adjourned without
even taking a vote on it. These are the
facts in the case.
While I can readily see how a news
paper like the Kansas City Journal,
which has fought so valiantly for pro-
hibition in Kansas for the past twenty
years, and never takes anything itself,

any purpose. I confess 1 cannot see

IN MEMORIAM.
Frank Bennett MilIs.

Last Tuesday the friends of Frank Mills
paid the last token of esteem at his grave
and joined in condoling with one of the
oldest families in Topeka in their great
bereavement.
He was born in Topeka, Kan, October
3, 1871, and died in Denver, Col, February
4, 1888, at p m, of hemorrhage. Frank,
his familiar name among his many
friends, was raised in Topeka, was edu-
Gated in our city schools and at one of
our business colleges. He was one of the
most promising young men of our city,
and, at his majority, took up the work of
bookkeeper for one of our prominent
business firms and soon became their
buyer. His prospects were most encour-
aging, when a severe cold, settling upon
his lungs, warned him that his days were
numbered.
In June, 1894, he went with the Murray
colony to Tuxtupec, Mexico, in search of
health. In the fall he returned to north
ern Mexico, where he remained until
about one year ago. Since that time he
has been in Texas and Colorado. The
past five months he spent with his sister
in Denver.
His father, Theodore Mills, came to To-
peka in 1857, and was one of our promt-
nent citizens until his death in 1880. He
was one of the men that made Kansas a
free state and Topeka the capital of Kan
Sas. He was educated at West Point and
was adjutant of an Ohio regiment raised
to take part in the Mexican war.
Franks grandfather, Colonel John Mills,
was killed in the battle of Sacketts har-
Dor in the War of 1872. The state of New
York, in testimony of fidelity and valor.
has erected a suitable monument over his
grave at Albany.
The subject of this sketch dwelt long in
the valley of the shadow of death. His
patience and fortitude proved him worthy
of his ancestry. He leaves a mother,
Mrs. J. K. Jones, and a sister, Katheryn
E. Mills of this city, and twO-half bro
theirs, DR.. T c. Mills of Mexico and Colo
mel T. B. Mills of New Mexico.
The funeral services were conducted by
Rev. DR.. Embree of the NJ. E. church,
and Rev. DR.. Blakesley of the Congrega-
tionaI church. The floral offerings were
many and beautiful. The family feel
that they are under special obligations to
the good people in Denver, where their
son and brother received many kind IA
vors such as money cannot buy. To them
they say: Thou doest faithfully whatso-
ever thou doest to the brethren and to
strangers

In OPEN REVOLT.
Hungarian Peasants Murder the
Magistrate and Hold
Village.

Vienna, Feb. 16.-The agrarian socialist
movement in Hungary is becoming most
serious. At Kistarkany, in the Kaschau
district, a thousand peasants are in open
revolt. They have murdered the local
ma gistrate and are holding the village
against the troops sent to restore order.
At Agrade. in the same district in
desperate fight between the gendarmes
and the peasants four were killed and
twenty wounded.
At Karasasee the socialists tried to lib
crate their imprisoned comrades, and the
gendarmes were obliged to prevent an on
set with leveled bayonets. A woman tried
to wrest the rifle from a gendarme and
the latter stabbed her in the breast. She
There have been many arrests and much

TURNING TO ZOLA.
Public Sentiment in Paris is Undergo
ing a Reversal

Paris, Feb. 16.-M. Millevoye, speak
ing last night at patriotic meeting
at Suresnes, claimed to know that the
secret document upon which DreyfuS
was condemned read thus: Let them
ask that Caraille Dreyfus what he has
promised US. (Signed) Guillaume."
NJ. Millevoye added: "It is evident
that war might follow the publication
of such a document"
1t was rumOred in the lobbies of the
court today that Mn. Laborie and
Clemenceau are prolOnging the exami-
nation OF the witnesses in order to ex-
tend the trial so that the question of a
revision of the Dreyfus trial will come
up before the chamber of deputies, and
in the hope that something will happen
in their favor.
While the examination of the ex-
perts has proved rather tiresOme, the
HimSinesS of their methods has turned
favor toward Zola and the mule sull<i-
ness OF the advocate general is strong
indication of how matters are going.
Today Colonel PicQuart seemed to
come in for the hostility hitherto re-
served for Zola. Mile. Comminge's dep
osition tended to show that Lieutenant
Colonel Patty Du Clam wrote the tele-
grams signed "Speranza," which were
sent to Colonel Picquart while he was
in Tunis with the intention to frighten
him from following the Esterhazy trial.
Professor Grimand's testimony Gre
ated deep impression. 1t is said that
COmmandant Ravary, who compiled the
unsatisfactory report IOT IU0 EASl6ELdZy
trial, has had a sudden attack of con-
gestion of the brain.
When the trial is finished the discus
siOns will be moved to the chamber of
deputies and the senate, where the cab
met will be on it's trial.
There are still thirteen witnesses to
be examined and then will come the adj
dresses of the advocate general, NJ.

enceau. NJ. Laborie is expected to speak
four or five hours. NJ. Zola will speak
very briefly.

Senator Armstrong Thinks a Special
Session Would Be Bad for the
Party.

Senator John Armstrong of Barton
county came to this city last night to
attend the national convention of the
Alliance Aid association. He also wants
to see what prOba bility there is of
special session of the legislature being
called, and will visit Governor Leedy
before leaving the city. He says he
wants to know because he has a farm
in Barton county that needs his atten-
tion, special session or no special ses-
sion.
Z am opposed to the legislature being
called together at this time, said Sen
ator Armstrong today, If the only
question to be considered is that of rail-
road legislation. If they will also con-
slider the repeal of the metropolitan po-
prohibitory question by the adoption of
the initiative and referendum amend

WHITE HOUSE BLACKLIST.
Names of UNLIMITED Persons Who

Crowd Into Receptions Procured.
Washington, D. c., Feb. 16.-The
White House has a black list. It is
an interesting souvenir of this seasons
receptions. It goes to prove that there
are persons who own fine clothes and
who are not so thin skinned as to re-
main away from places to which they
are not invited. The invitations given

ter, and the gentleman associated with
him in the management of details let
it be known through the newspapers
that steps would be taken to detect any
who came without invitations. But the
method to be employed was not ex-
planned.
The trap was set and it did its d11tv
At one reception 213 persons who had
not been invited came to the White
House and participated. At another af-
fair the number of unlimited present
was $50. The manner in which the in
truders were detected is interesting AS
usual, each guest, on advancing to the
entrance of the receiving room was told
Dy an OTncIal to give your name to the
officers, who will present you" The
name of each guest was called out
twice, first by the officer introducing
to the president and again by the officer
who made the presentation to Mrs. Nc
Kinley. The announcing was done with
distinctness. But this year an attache
of the White House stood in a secluded
nook and took down every name that
was called out. Comparison with the
roster of the invited was made subse-
quently, and in this way the names of
the unlimited were singled out and the
black list was created.
This was not all. Doorkeepers from
the senate and house were present to
add their knowledge of faces to that of
the White House usherS. Alphabetical
lists of the invited were in the possess
sion of the officials. When there was
doubt about any one the lists were con-
suited. Some of the unlimited were
asked for their addresses. Subsequently
letters were addressed to several of
those who had come without invita-
tiOns, asking explanations of the breach.
Most of the letters were ignored. Sew
eraI replied, laying the blame on con-
gressmen from whom they claimed to
have received verbal invitations. Half
a dozen department people were caught,
and their cases were referred to supe-
riOr officials.
