To Visit England.

New York, April THE World
says: The Massachusetts will sail
from the Brooklyn navy yard this
morning to join SIMPSONS squad
ron at Trinidad. On the arrival
of the Massachusetts the squadron
will proceed to Southampton, Eng
land.
When the North Atlantic squad
ron left this country it was expect
ed to return on May l. Since then
the plans of the government have
been changed and the fleet will re-
main in English waters until the
first of August. This is the first
visit of American battleships to
England and the British govern
ment already is preparing to re-
ceive the squadron in a manner
which will do much to increase the
friendly feeling between England
and the United Stotes.

they are no good in open field.
Here we had to fight as best we
could. We could not get them in
mass anywhere. 1t was a house
to house battle. Many times shots
came out of houses that had a
white flag flying above them. We
soon learned that a white flag
meant nothing and treated it ac-
cordingly. We finally drove them
out of the town and a mile be-
yond. Then we began to prepare
something to eat and a place to |
stay over night. Soon the chick
ems began to squall, the pigs to
squeal and the young calves
bawled. You would think some
body was killing them, and guess
they were. for we had all kinds of
meat for supper, and don't you
think we felt so sorry for the stuff
that we could not eat it. Our
regiment has fifteen Chinese cooks
and thoy put up good grub and
we almost had quail OH toast.
After supper we lounged around
and talked about the roundup un-
til we concluded to take a little
rest. We had no more than lain
down when they returned under
cover of the darkness and began
their favorite line of attack, but
in thirty minutes we had them 60
ing back great deal faster thar
they came. After that we had
peace until morning,
The next day we buried the dead
and in this we found out that our
old Springfield rifle is the most
deadly weapon that there is i'll the
island today in the hands of a
soldier on either side.
THE navy and artillery have
done great work many times
in the past five days. Dewey S
boats have shelled the rebel posi-
ton, shooting directly over the
heads of our soldiers and never
making bobble. One time he
shelled a large church close enough
to our soldier that we could pick
: off the rebels as they came out and
I started to run away. Here at this
e church 200 or 300 rebels were
[ killed and the most of them by
the navy.

where he owned a farm of $50
acres, is in the city penniless.
One month ago he traded his fer
tile farm in California for 1000
acres of land in Tennessee, which
had no existence, and paid $1,000
besides. After paying the $1,000
he had barely enough left to get
the transportation for himself and
family to Tennessee.
When they got to Helenwood,
the county seat of Scott county,
he found there was no such land
as his deed called for. Lawyers
advised him to return to California
and sue to recover his farm and
money. He had enough money to
get to Cincinnati. There the fam.
lily was given transportation to St

Warming To Farmers,

From numerous letters received at
this station il is evident that many
farmers have been victimizod by seed
dealers who have unwittingly furnish
ed Bird seed rape instead of Dwarf Is
sex rape seed for forage purposes.
Farmers raising rape for forage sow
the Dwarf Essex variety. This plant
bears thin, short stalk with large
succulent leaves which resemble in ap
pearance and taste the leaves OF the
rutabaga turnip The plant grows
about thee feet high on good soil,
with leaves spreading about the same
distance.
Bird seed rape is smaller plant
with slim, tough stalk bearing a few
small leaves which are hairy on top,
and yellow blossoms appear a few
weeks after seeding. The Bird seed
variety resembles the wild mustard
plant when in blossom. The true
forage rape does not blossom or bear
seed the same year it is sown.
If the farmer finds his rape field
bearing plants resembling wild must
ard with yellow blossoms he may be
sure he has planted the wrong kind
of seed and should pillow the field at
once, sowing the Dwarf Essex variety
any time before the middle of July.
Fortunately, the Bird seed rape
which resembles wild mustard will
not spead or prove troublesome as is
the case with yellow mustard so that
there will be no harm except a loss of
the crop. w. l.. CARLYLE,

Friends For The SnarrOM.

The English sparrow has never been
considered rs exactly popular idol
i'll our cities, but that it should have
fierce defenders will be matter Of
surprise to many. The bitterness Of
repeated attacks upon him has indeed
rs il often does, led to a kind OF reac-
ton; and in Boston men have come
out openly in his behalf. Six things
are claimed for the sparrows: That
they are the only birds we have in
winter; that they did us great service
in the past in cleaning our cities of
caterpilars and cankerworms; that
they do excellent work rs scavanrers,
both in summer and winter; that they
give much pleasure to thousands of
our children and TO older people, both
summer and winter; that if they do
drive out other birds they drive them
INTO the country where they are more
needed than here; that they were
probably created for a useful purpose,
and have the same right to live that
we have. An appeal to the voters at
polls is discussed, the question Of the
destruction of thes birds being con
sidcrcd one that affects the munich.
pality. Five hundred persons have
protested against their existence, and
fonf thousand have come out in favor
of them.

Unkind, if not criminal charges to

Judges or both were bribed to favor
the Western, that the sale was made
before the contest took place, etc ,

men. Such Talk does great injustice
to the men concerned. They did
what their judgments told them was
just and fair and their judgments and
actions met the approval of a large
majority of the spectators Every

man, respected by his neighbors and
much too honorable to think Of being

Win Both Games,

The Platteyille base ball team de-
featcd the Lancaster team Wednesday
and the Darlington Thursday. The
first game was a farce. Lancaster
evidently thought they had tcinch"
and brought down gang Of kids, :"
and consequently were beaten by a
score of q to 5. The second game
was the best game seen here this sea-
son. Evans was on the slab for the
home team and was an enigma to the
visitors, for seven innings they stood
up to the plate and slashed away at
his slow ones and his fast ones and
all they had to show for 1t at the end
was one little score Evans support
was superb the boys played a fast,
snappy fielding game and made hits
when they meant runs The work of
Leahy behind the bat, Linke at short
and Hooser in center field was cspeci-
ally brilliant. Flannigad pitched for
the visitors and pitched a good game.
His support was very good except in
the first inning, when three errors
coupled with two hits gave the home
team three runs. The gentlemanly
conduct and .clean playing of both
teams is worthy Of mention. The
score was 5 to l in favor of the home
team Platteville Journal.
