Timothy on sandy Soil.

Timothy grass is often sown on sandy soil, not because it is especially adapted to it, but because sandy soil is not easily seeded with anything, and timothy, which can be sown late in summer and all through the fall succeeds rather bet ter than the grasses and cloyers sown in spring. All sandy soils arc deficient in mineral plant food. Timothy does not require much, either of phosphate or potash, until it's seeds begin to form It does not need one-quarter as much of these minerals or of lime as does clover. and as its roots run near the surface it IS manured chiefly by the ammonia gathered by falling rains in their pas sage through the air. When once seeded with timothy, the grass will remain in sandy soil until it is starved out, and mosses take it's place.

JOHNSON VERY HOPEFUL.
Expects to Get Tom ConrOy's Place
Any Day.


Judges Orr and Hine will have a confer
ence with Mayor Kiefer today, and among
those close to the two members of the bench
and his honor 1t is understood that the deal
by which Thomas F. Conroy, at present clerk
of the court, will be ousted, and once Assem-
blyman Johnson installed will be consum-
mated.
which the municipal court was organized and
is conducted, has nothing to say about the
appointment of the clerk, that being left to
the two judges. The law, however gives the
mayor the power to appoint not to exceed
three persons as policemen for special attend
ance and duty In the court. These, known
as bailiffs, are paid from the police fund and
are on the regular roll of the police depart
ment. The law further states that the bailiffs
selected shall be approved by the judges of
the court, and that the provisions as to the
police force shall not apply in their cases. At
present the bailiffs are John C.. Mccarthy,
Thomas Mcmahon and John Quincy Adams.
Mccarthy and Mcmahon, so the story goes,
are to be let out, and the only thing that
saves Adams Is that he is the editor Of the
Appeal, publication devoted to the interests
of the ro-Americans.
1t is to select couple Of good Republicans
for the positions now occupied by Mccarthy
and Mcmahon that the conference between
the judges and Mayor Kiefer slated for today
has been called. Friends Of Billy Johnson
stated last evening that at the same time this
matter was being discussed, Mayor Kiefer
would bring up the question of what was to
be done with his friend johnson. and the re-
suit would be that then and there the judges
would agree to the decapitation of Conroy and
the appointment of Johnson.
Mr.. Johnson, when seen last evening, said
things looked much brighter for his getting
the appointment, than ever before, and he
would not be surprised to receive notice any
day that he had been agreed upon by the
judges as clerk of the municipal court.
1T might come tomorrow or later, but it Is
sure to come said Mr.. Johnson as he ex-
tended an invitation to the members of the
assembly to accompany him to the theater.

Mindanao, the latter the second largest

sent to Iloilo, island of Panay, with in

The messenger, the dispatch adds,

island of Luzon (of which Manila is

were deserving by the wholesale. The
Vizcayas islands and the island Of Min

A dispatch from the governor of San,

before it the bonds submitted by the
several banks which are DESTROYS of

At present the banks are paying the

the new proposals reduce the interest to

The Northern Exchange bank and
Capital bank are now among those
which have city funds on deposit but
neither of the institutions submitted
bonds at the meeting yesterday. The
bonds examined by the committee yes

given as we'll as the total amount of
the bond. All the bonds were approx

ton of the Bank of Merriam Park. and
this was not rejected, but simply laid
over for future consideration. Tt was
stated in the committee that this in
stitution had been mixed up in the

advisable. The following were the bonds

REGULAR SOLDIERS SHY.
Few Recruits Arc Offering for the
Third Regiment.

The American citizen prefers to serve his
country in the volunteer army rather than in
the regular rmy. This is shown by the fact
that the recruiting officers for the volunteer
forces are literally swamped with applicants
while the recruiting officers for the regular
army are having a difficult time in securing
the number of men required. Maj. Wilkin-
son, Of the Third United States infantry who
has been in the Twin Cities for several
weeks, has secured but $50 of the 700 recruits
needed to fill up the ranks of the Third in
fantry. Of these 90 have been recruited IN
St. Paul, 3S in Minneapolis and the remain Fer
in Duluth and West Superior.
There are various reasons why men do not
wish to serve in the regular army. 1t is
provided that those who join the regular
army during the progress of the w,r may be
discharged at any time after the close of the
war that they desire. This is not generally
understood and is the chief reason why so
many object to joining tie regular forces,
The impre sion prevails quite generally that
men in the regular army see much harder
service than they would if in the volunteer
ranks.
There are no grounds for this objec ion, as
1t Is the intention of the government to com
bine the regulars with the volunteers as
much as possible in order that the latter
may learn the art of warfare from the men

MUST USE HIS OWN NAME.

Attorney DOnnelly's Contention
About Complaining Witnesses.
In the prosecution of Ada Irvine In
the police court on the charge Of lar
ceny, the question of witness signing
a complaint under an assumed name
has been raised by Attorney Stan Don
nelly.
The Irvine woman is colored. The
complainant, to avoid notoriety, 1t IS
said by Attorney Donnelly, signed the
complaint with an assumed name thus,
according to Mr.. Donnelly, rendering
the proceedings invalid.
In support of the claim that a wit
ness must give his right name, it is
claimed by Attorney Donnelly that if
the witness signs an assumed name, he
commits perjury when he testifies I'M
der this name. If, at the outset, the
witness perjures himself, the attorney
contends that his testimony cannot be
relied upon.

PAGET-BAKER CASE AGAIN.
Suit Involving Some of the Kittson
Residue.

Suit Involving Some of the Kittson
Residue.
The suit of Cecilia Paget against Louise
X. Baker, Lewis Baker and the st. Paul
Trust company was on trial yesterday before
Judge Kelly. Plaintiff seeks to recover a
judgment deficit from the accruing interest
of United States bonds left in trust by Com
modore Kittson for his daughter, Mrs Louise
Baker.
The case is complicated by the Intervention
OF John j. Houghton, Of Amber, Pa, who
alleges that Mrs. Baker assigned to him GER
tain beneficiary interests in the Kittson es-
tate and the issue Is now between him and
Mrs. Paget.
Mrs. Paget is a Judgment creditor of the
defendant, Mrs. Baker, to the extent of near
ly 100000 deficiency on mortgage foreclos-
ure. Mrs. Bakers share in her fathers es,
tate is mostly personal securities held by
the st. Paul Trust company, under the will
of Norman w. Kittson.
In previous action Mrs. Paget sought to
hold the beneficial interest in the hands OF
the trust company for Judgment. The trust
company demurred, alleging that neither the
trust estate nor the interest was alienable
In the interests of creditor or otherwise.
Judge Bum overruled the demurrer and held
that Mrs. Bakers interest was alienable.
Mrs. Paget alleges that the assignments
alleged by John ]. Houghton to have been
made by Mrs. Baker were without considera-
ton and merely a cover, on these grounds
making an issue with the intervenor.

SENATOR BUTLER STICKS.
Hot Fight Against National Chails

Hot Fight Against National Chair
man I'm Pops Convention.
OMAHA, June 16.-All day the Middle-of-
the-Road Populists have been prosecuting their
fight upon Senator Butler, the chairman of
the Populist national committee but SO far
without success. Through ex-Congressman
Weller, of Omaha, they made an effort during
the afternoon to have the report of the ere
dentials committee barring out Paul Wander.
WORT, Of Nebraska, from the committee and
seating the contestant from Iowa favorable to
the fusionists reconsidered, but they suffered
a signal defeat. A conference between the
middle-of-the-roaders and the fusionists was
held, and the report from this conference was
deliberated upon all the afternoon.
The result of the conference was that an
agreement was reached to the effect that no
more fusion propositions should emanate from
the Populist national committee; that the con-
vention of 1900 should be held early in the
year, independently of any other convention;
that the different states were to be governed
according to the interests of their own polit-
ical welfare individually. But upon demand
of the middle-of-the-rOader that Chairman
Butler should resign, the conference could
not agree.
Their report consumed several hours of an
executive session, and finally it was deemed
necessary to have entirely, new conference.
At midnight another conference is in
progress.
