why Lime is valuable as a FertIlize

why Lime is Valuable as Fertilizer
In soils deficient in lime applications
of lime are necessary to supply plant
food. The indirect value of lime is
perhaps more important than its direct
action. 1t unlocks unavailable potash,
phosphoric acid and nitrogen of the
soil. 1t also exerts decided influence
on the mechanical conditions of soils.
Compact soils are made light and loose
soils are made more compact. 1t also
furnishes conditions in the soil favor
able to the activity of micro-organisms
which convert the nitrogen of organic
mat er into nitrates and thus makes it
available as plant food. On soils that
are sour, lime is valuable in neutraliz-
ing the acidity.-American Agricul-

Ill Bryan's leadership Of the Democfa'
tic party, to the extent of voting with
him against the ratification Of the
treaty of peace, could see themselves
as Others see them, they would hang
their heads for shame. There never
was a moie unnecessary introduction OF
personal peanut politics in matter in

flight against the treaty, which
ia with the vote in the Senate Mon
day-unneccessary, because every man
who engaged In it knew from the first
that ratification of the treaty was ab-
solutely certain in any evert, it not by
Mondays vote, by the Senate in an
extra .ession. Knowing this, there
was 10 excuse for the fight; it served
no other purpose than to show that
nearly all of the Democratic Senators
were more willing to follow the advice
Of German than that of Bryan, even
though they had to vote against the
wishes of great majority of their
constituents, to do so. Not few 'of
these Senators have already been re.

WELCOMED TO WASHINGTON.
Admiral Dewey Gets an Enthusiastic Re-
ception at the National Capital
Reviewed the Civic Parade.

Washington, Oct. 3.-The home-com-
ing of Admiral George Dewey-for
henceforth the national capital is to be
his home-was made the occasion for
the greatest tribute ever paid by Wash
ington to any individual. The citizens
had made every preparation to make
the occasion worthy of their hero.
Pennsylvania avenue was one mass Of
colored bunting along the entire line
of march from the station TO the white
house and, not content with this, few
private citizens failed to make some
display OF color on their residences.
On the facade of the newly completed
government post Office building famed
forth two inscriptions set in electric
points, the one reciting the famous
message of the president directing
Dewey, then thousands of miles away
in the far east, to go forth to destroy
the Spanish fleet, and the other setting
out the famous admiral's direction to
the lamented Gridley, You may fire
when you are ready, Gridley," which
marked an epoch in the history of the
United States. Twelve thousand mem
bers of civic organizations paraded be-
fore him, besides tens Of thousands Of
non-organized citizens, and in roar of
cannon rockets and the blaze Of red
fire and the thunderous cheering Of the
populace and the warm greeting of the
head of the nation, Dewey came to the
national capital to welcome such as
has not been known here hitherto.

A Thousand Vessels Participated In the
Demonstration In Dewey's Honor, and
5000, 900 People Looked ON.

New York, Sept. 3O.-No Roman con-
queror returned to his triumph of bar
barrie splendor; no victorious king or
prince coming home from successful
war ever received such magnificent
ovation as overwhelmed Admiral
Dewey yesterday rs he stood on the
bridge of the Olympia at the head of
a magnificent feet OF steel thunderers
of the deep, followed by thousand
vessels Of peace, each TERED and coated
black with people and sailed over the
bright waters of the upper bay and up
the broad pathway Of the sunlit river,
whose banks were gay with millions OF
flags and streamers dancing in the
wind. As the tomb OF Gen. Grant on
the Riverside drive was reached the
fleet paid its tribute to the memory OF
the great warrior with national salute
of 81 roaring guns. The fleet then
anchored and reviewed the almost end
less procession of craft that steamed
past, also burdened with humanity
that they looked as II they would turn
turtle before they got back to their
piers. Toward the end the parade be-
came disorganized and it took hours for
the heterogeneous fotilla to get by.
Darkness at last brought relief to the
tired admiral who had stood on the
bridge for six hours bowing his ac-
acknowledgements to the stentorian ex.
preston of homage.
New York has never witnessed be
fore anything approaching this won

Columbian naval parade, the dedication
of Grants tomb and the reception Of

MOST IMPOSING OF ALL.
Priests of Pailas Parade In Kansas City
Tuesday Night Surpassed Any Of the
12 Previously Held.

Kansas City, Mo-, Oct. 3-The most
parade ever given by the
famous Priests Of Pallas took place to-
night. The start was made promptly
at 7.45 o'clock from the den on East
Seventh street, and more than two
hours was required TO cover the route.
There were 10 bands In the parade and
they furnished continuous music.
More than 90 excursion trains brought
visitors to the city all day long and
over $4,000 out-of-town people wit
messed the parade. The weather
was admirable and the variety Of
the 10 floats made them exceedingly
interesting, even to those who had seen
all of the other 19 exhibitions given by
the Priests of Pallas. The subjects
this time ranged from the representa-
tion Of the prosperous year Of 1899, by
huge cornucopia of fruits and grains,
to scene OF battle in the Philip
pines between entrenched Filipinos
and men of the Twentieth Kansas. In
this float 1000 rounds Of blank cart
ridges were fred by the Kansas men
and their enemies. There were fire
works, too, and humorous floats and
patriotic ideas and historic scenes.

An Admiral, First In the Hearts Of His
Countrymen, Given the Greatest Popu-
lar Demonstration OF the Century to
a Living American.

New York, Oct. Admiral Dewey
came in closer touch Saturday with the
people of Greater New York than at
any time since the famous cruiser
dropped anchor in the upper bay, and
the city's teeming hosts made the most
of the opportunity. Saturday he was
really the city's guest, not in such an
official sense as Friday, when he was
out of reach, out on the waters, but he
was in the city in reality and the po-
lice had to fight to keep the people
from overwhelming him.
An admiral, first in the hearts of his
countrymen, 1900, 900 or 100000 of
cheerful citizens, a city declSed in color
from end to end, long parade of fight
ing men-brave characters of the army,
the navy and the volunteers-to do the
hero honor, an historic review at the
splendid arch erected in honor of the
guest of the city and the idol of the
day-these were the distinguishing
features of the second and closing
chapter of this, the greatest popular
demonstration of the century to liv-
ing American.
From the time the admiral landed at
the battery, amid the cheers of an ex-
cited multitude, and was driven to the
city hall park, through streets jammed
to the very tops of tall office buildings,
with frenzied mass of shouting men,
women and children, the warmth of
his reception surpassed any welcome
ever given here. AS the admiral was
borne rapidly up Broadway past the
brilliantly decorated buildings, tower
ing high above the pavement, and
swathed in the colors to the upholdinR
of which he has devoted life of serv'
| ice he was given more adequate con

felt was his due. From afar Friday he
received tribute which was only q
partial preparation for the ovation that

derful sights burst on his view-a
wealth Of decoration which in some re

see and greet the navy's great captain

ASIA MINOR EARTHQUAKES.
IL IL Estimated That 1900 Persons Per-
ished Around AidIn In the Recent
Seismic Shocks,

Constantinople, Oct. sit is now
estimated that 1900 persons perished
in the earthquakes in Asia Minor,
around Aidin. The first shock occurred
at four in the morning of September
20 and lasted 40 seconds. The effects
were appalling. Whole villages were
completely destroyed. The earthquake
was felt as far as Scio, Mitylene and
Smyrna. The latest advices from the
stricken area show that men, women
and children were buried in the ruins
of their dwellings before they realized
their danger. Numbers Of bodies still
lie beneath the debris. About 500 per-
sons were killed at Sarakeni and some
500 at Denizli, where three-fourths of
the buildings fell. There was proper
tionate loss of life in many Of the
smaller villages.
