A Scotch investigator concludes that
''1he conditions under which we are
warranted in expecting that nitragin
will be of service to agriculture are
the absence of sufficient heterogeneous
matter IN the soil capable of produc-
ing a full leguminous crop and the abb
'sence of the bacillus radicicola, which
enables the plant to obtain sufficient
supply of nitrogen from the atmos-
phere. It is doubtful If these two con-
ditions win be found to coexist In any
soil under rotation In this country"

break up the old dead stalks. This plan
may not be as profitable as selling a

the ground, and as there is no clover

to adopt it.

a matter of root system. The clover
goes down into the soiI--far down Of

surface feeders, and their range after
water Is limited. All grasses are thirs-
ty plants. but they cannot get down
after the soil water as clover can. Al
faifa is better even than clover at this

Society is ever on the alert for some
new form of diversion and entertain
ment, and in seeking for the new it is
sometimes led to turn back and revive
the old
There is now a revival of the art of
silhouette cutting. which was so much
in vogue in the old days before the sun
turned portrait painter, and 1t promises
10 speedily become the popular fad.
The artist of the scissors is likely to
be quite as much in evidence as the
artist of the kodak has heretofore
been, and the victims of the black
arr will doubtless become as nu-
merous as have been those of the snap
shot.
We may now look to see silhouette
parties become the fashion. in which
bright young women. with scissors and
paper, will compete for prizes. while
patient young men pose as the sub
iects. There will doubtless be no end
of silhouette exhibitions.
1t is not a bad sort of fad. There are
in it the possibilities of much whole
some and intelligent entertainment
as well as the means of improving the
artistic taste and accomplishments of
it's devotees.
While silhouetting is one of the
oldest forms of picture making. there
are always about it a freshness and
charm. Exhibits of this class of work
are always novel and interesting. The
origin of the art is lost in antiquity,
though it has been designated by the
name silhouette only since 1850
At that time the name was applied
to profile portraits in black or any
uniform tint, being so called afte.

He said that the northeastern part es-

alarms from that district are compelled to
travel entirely too far. If the board should

a new story in connection with the escape
of Joseph Smith from the Insane Hospital

place where Smith lived.
Before the insanity commission which sent
him to the asylum startling testimony was
given, 20 the effect that while in the en-

ing very strangely and many complaints
were recorded against him. Another story
is that his wife testified of him telling her
of his being in love with young woman
in the neighborhood. and that she CHS wife)
was in the way of his securing her.
When Smith escaped he procured buggy
and drove TO Plainfield, where he was cap

congregation he belonged at Terre Haute,
asking them TO assist him in getting his
release from the asylum. These people are

Left on tie Doorstep.

William Jacob Miller made his first ap-
pearance before a Marion county court yes
terday. He is little over two weeks old
and came into the probate department of
the Circuit Court, properly attended by
neighbors and friends. William Jacob is
a very bald young person, with very rosy
face. He was exceedingly we'll behaved

William Jacob Miller is the baby that was
found in a basket at the door of Rudolph

Mrs. Miller at once became attached to
the youngster and decided to adopt him.
They came down to the courthouse for this
purpose and brought the baby with them.
He was neatly dressed and looked well fed.
Mrs. Miller had Probate Commissioner
Walker take look at the infant, and the
commissioner acknowledged that he was a
fine lad. The baby made d desperate at

While the commissioner was making out

with description of how the child was
left on her doorstep. On the night of Nov.
10 she and her husband heard a noise at
the door shortly after they had gone to
bed. She asked her husband to go to the
door, but he thought it useless. The noise
continued and she got up and opened the
door. Just outside was a basket containing
something wrapped in a shawl. This some
thing proved TO be the baby which is to be
called William Jacob Miller. In the basket
was also a note, which ran something like

THE NEW BIG FOUR SHOPS
PRESIDENT INGALLS, MAY BUILD IN
THIS CITY AT A COST OF sSOO,OOO.
1t Has for Years Been n Pet Hobby
with Him, and the Present Good
Times Have Revived the Project.

1t has for years been the intention of NJ
E. ingalls,, president of the Big Four lines
to build the main shops of the company at
that not only repair work could be done
but the engines and cars of the company
as well, built at the company's own shops
This plan would have been carried out
three years ago but for the depression in
business which came over the country. But
the good times have given new life to the
enterprise, and 1t is highly probable that
the year 1900 will see President ingalls, S
favorite idea in the matter of shops carried
out. and, if built, the shops and equipment,
says one Of the Big Four officials, will cost
$500 900.
Quite recently President Ingalls, has given
instructions to make a careful plat of the
ground the company owns on West Wash
ington street, just west of White river, and
take the preliminary steps necessary TO as
certain just what size shops the ground
will provide. An official Of the company

pany now owns lies in a basin between
Washington street and the tracks of the
indianapolis & ST. Louis division of the
Big Four. To enlarge the grounds 1t would
be necessary to take some south of the St.
Louis division tracks, but 1t would not be
as convenient as to have ii undivided by the
railroad embankment. The fact that the
matter Is again up is evidence that Presi-

PETITION is FILED
BY the Striking Leather Workers of
LoganspOrt-What They Ask.

Governor Mount yesterday received petit
ton from the striking leather workers for
merly employed in TIE factory OF Kreis
Brothers, of Logansport, asking him to in
tervene TO settle the trouble between them
and their employers. The basis of the
trouble, according TO the labor commission
ers. who have heretofore failed to bring the
two parties together. is that the firm insists
on the men Withdrawing from the harness.
makers union and allowing the firm to keep
back 80 cents week during the time they
are employed a guarantee OF good faith
on the part Of the men that they will abide
by the rules OF the establishment and make
good any material they spoil. The labor
commissioners are satisfied that the firm is
not justified in attempting TO keep back any
OF the money from the wages of the men
and that II any employers did do IL they
would be violating the law passed by the
General Assembly last winter which speci-
fies that all wages shall be paid in cash
every week without any deductions for any
reason whatever.
The Governor has not Signifed what ac-
ton he Will take in the matter.
