Senator Elkins of West Virginia, &C.
companied by his father in-law, for
mer Senator Henry G.. Davis, called
on Commodore Bradford of the
equipment bureau of the navy.
Senator Elkins and his father in
law have large coal possessions in
West Virginia They called on Com
modore Bradford for the purpose of
securing from him contract for the
coal mined in their own towns,
called Elkins and Davis.
Commodore Bradford explained
that the department desired the
very best coal, and tina. was the kind
he had ordered and intended to
order when more is needed.

of coal I am talking about
Davis and Elkins limited at the
value of proper influence if exerted
in behalf of q naval officer.
Commodore Bradford slightly In.
dignant, declared he had no use for
influence, that he was at the depart
ment's service for anything it might
of him, and just at present
he was anxious to get good coal for
the navy without reference to bis
personal intere SITS.
The peace patriots intimsted that
his removal from the bureau of
might not be an impossi-
bility.
You can not get me relieved too
quickly" retorted Bradford. "Go
to the secretary and have me remov-
ed If you wish. ] have no desire to
remain in this bureau Any detail
will satisfy me. I should like to see
duty at this time"
Elkins and Davis were abashed at
this outburst, and beat q retreat.
Bradford was fully an
hour recovering his usual smiable
frame of mind.

BRANN IN FATAL DUEL.
Editor of Iconoclast Kills a Man
and is Himself Killed.

| shooting axes race OF ms SueetS
Waco, Tsxas.-Due to Baylor Troubles.
Dallas, Tex, April IA bulletin
from Waco, Tex says: W. q. Brann
editor of Brann's 1conoclast, killed
Thomas Davis, a real estate man
this evening and was himself fatally
shot, being wounded three times.
The tragedy was q street due
growing out of the old Baylor Uni
vsrsity feud and mobbing of Brann
and the later killing of the Harris
brothers and wounding of Judge
Gerald, several months ago
Two outsiders were wounded BY
stray bullets from Davis pistol. A
motorman on an electric street rail
way car was shot in the knee, and 9
musician had the instep of his left
foot shattered.
The Times correspondent learns
ut 9 O'Clock tonight by long dis
tancs telephone interview with the
police department at Waco the fol-
lowing details of the tragedy, the
statement being made by an official
Of the department.;
The shooting occurred about 6
O'Clock, near an alley On Fourth
street, between Franklin and Austin
streets and not more than half a
block frsm where Judge Gerald a
few months ago killed the two Harris
brother, himself losing an arm, as a
result of the old Brann- Baylor feud.
BRANN SHOOTS AS HE FALLS
Brann was proceeding homewsrd
from his office. He and Davis met,
apparently unexpectedly to each
other. The men were not heard to
speak. Davis drew a revolver and
opened fire. Brann fell, but COM
menced shooting as he sank to the
street. Davis also continued to
shoot, both men smptying their
pistols in less than ten seconds time
and before any body could get TO
them.
When the shooting had ceae ed
and help reached the Frustrated
duellists, both were UNCONSCIOUS and
believed to be dead. They were
conveyed to their respective homes.
Surgeons in attendance said life was
still in them, but that neither man
could live through the night.
Brann is shot through the left
lung, the ball coming out at the
back, and in the left leg and foot.
Davis was hit Eve times, three
bullets taking effect in his breast,
one in the right thigh and another
in the right leg.
At first it was stated that the
April Iconoclast had bitterly criti-
oized Davis. 1t 10 learned, however,
that the Iconoclast for April,
due to be cut to-day, has
not yet been issued, and the public
knows nothing of it's contents. It is
surmised, however. that Davis had
been informed in advance that he
was to be asssiled in it's pages. The
two men are known to have had ILL.,
feeling toward each other, for several
since the Brann-Baylor
troubles were at their height.

: Blighted Celery.

G.. A Woolson, of Vermont, writes:
It is mistake to suppose that blighted
celery is not worth putting in for win
ter use. For four years the blight
has besieged my garden; rotating the
crop makes but little difference; not
q decent head natures. Plants set
early in Jnne grow well for a month
or six weeks perhaps, and then the
blight appears; active growth ceases,
then it stands in spite of fertilizers or
irrigation.
But about the first of October I
trim up the plants, leaving only the
the heart leaves. A shallow trench IN
the cellar is we'll watered and the
roots, with as much soil as can be con-
veniently left on, are placed in the
trench; more water is given and sand
or other light and dry soil is worked
carefully in and about the plants,
leaving only the tips exposed. Finer
celery I have never had than such
roots furnished in January and Feb
ruary. If the long white brittle
stalks are cut off squarely-not toe
close-a second crop has been ready
by April. This is lighter, of course,
than the other, but a dainty luxury
for the season. At the present writ
ing-November 3-a marked growth
is already noticeable in plants not
three weeks in the cellar.

capable of bearing heavy strain and
of not yielding to it until the breaking
point is closely approached; therefore,
for framing material it is unexcelled.
For mud stills and in situations where
it is subject to alterations of moisture
and dryness, hemlock is found ex-
tremely desirable. Therefore, to q
large part of farm building construc'
ton it is peculiarly well adapted.
In sections of Iowa where it has
been thoroughly tried hemlock is
given the preference for barn contruc-
ton. 1t is little late in the season
to talk about corn crib material, and
vet the attention of farmers should be
called to the fact, supported by much
irrefutable evidence, that rats and
mice will not attack hemlock, and 80
cribs built of it are rat and mouse
proof, except as the rodents may find
their way through openings into cribs.
They will not make an openings. how.
ever, and this fact should commend it
for this purpose to the farmers.
Hemlock is still cheap timber in
the West, and lumber consumers
should be given the advantage OF this
fact, that they may use it wherever II
is possible and economical to do So

Mistakes with Old Orchards.

There is scarcely farmer in this
country who uses any fertilizer for his
orchard, simply because he has al
ways been taught that the old orchard
would take care OF itself. And what a
mistake! 1t needs the same care and
attention as the land devoted to other
crops. Why not renovate the old
orchard? Gut down the worthless
trees. Pillow the whole area, SOW to
white clover and timothy, put on
about 200 pounds of muriate of pot
ash, and 200 pounds of dissolved bone
per acre. Keep the orchard trimmed
and each year apply chemical fertil-
izers in about this proportion per acre:
Nitrate of soda, 100 pounds; ground
bone, 200 pounds; muriate Of potash,
800 pounds. By a little systematic
work and study every farmer could
materially increase his profit with
little extra work, and perhaps a little
outlay of money. If the old orchard
is hard and unproductive, first put it
in fit condition for the growing o.
crops and the trees.
Cover the hardest spots with ma
nure. Get humus in the soils, ant
with en- application CT potash AMI
phosphoric acid, one can feel sure tina
o good harvest will result.-C. w
Burkett, in Hoard's Dairyman.
