struction train. He is a big, jovial
fellow who loves fun hut he got more
than he bargained for Friday. He had
a sack containing 5000 and when at

One Of them, a negro named Valentine,
in spirit Of fun snatched the bag of
treasure from Bishop, but owing to the
speed of the train the latter could not
return it.

explained and the money returned all
was well. He will be more careful with
his wad in future.

EXPERIENCE WITH GRASSES.

John Lewis Henry talked on his ex
perience with grasses. He prelaced his
remarks be deploring the fact that there
was not a larger number OF people
present and said if there was circus or
Niger minstrel in town the place could
not hold the crowd.
He said as a soil saver and a soil re-
storer, grass is beneficial. He purchased
a farm 80 years ago that had been worn
out by the successive crops Of tobacco
and corn. The original owner made a
better living on virgin SOL the he could,
but he couldn't do it now Mr. Henry
said he is constantly spending money
building up the farm. He finds grass to
be the only means OF keeping the soil
from washing, and has to keep growing
it to save the farm. Rye is beneficial,
but has to be worked too much and does
not prevent the land from washing. He
is an ardent advocate of red clover and
said it cannot be excelled as a soil re-
storer. He intends to grow the sofa
bean this year. He grows orchard grass
principally and finds it best adapted to
the needs of this section. 1t wont bull
up land as quick as red clover, but it
grows wheat fast and lots of it.
With orchard grass you can Craze your
land eight months in the year and still
grow a seed crop. There is as much
money in it as wheat, although the grass
after being threshed has no great value
as feed.
The best time for seeding is the last of
January or first Of February for sowing
wheat and about the first of May if sown
for seed.
He uses bushel and half of seed to
the acre and when it comes up turns his
stock on it to keep it tender. 1t is fit to
Craze all winter.

He said he never failed to get a good |

into the ground. He also spoke about
his success in growing the sugar beet.
He planted on May 4th and June 9Th,
using seed that had been furnished him
by the national department of agricul-
ture. He sows in rows % inches apart
and breaks his soil to depth OF IA inch.
es. He has a one horse pillow to follow

cd of subsoiling. His crop produced on
a basis of II tons to the acre and as a hog
and cattle feeder it was great success.
Many feeders is now putting hogs on the

 GOLDEN KELE.IONES.

Golden Rule" Jones, who has just famous and may yet become more SO His work and success are attracting at tention all over this country and in England. Because he believes in the Golden Rule and tries to live by it some
 people might be tempted to think him
 crank, but he is far from that. His
 management during his first term as
 mayor was very wise and efficient.
 When he first ran for mayor he had the
 saloon element solidly arrayed against
 him through fear that, if elected, he
 would resort to drastic measures for
 the repression of the liquor traffic,
 This apprehension largely grew out of
 the fact that all the church people were for him. As soon as he was elected the council and Republican police commits sioners immediately inaugurated plan securing the passage of repressing or
 dinances that were calculated to cur tail the liberties of the people. An or dinauce closing all the saloons on Sun day was quickly followed by one more radical in it's scope, which closed all places of business of every description This was followed by an ordinance re- pealing all Sunday closing ordinances and throwing everything wide open. But Mayor Jones had begun the reor- ganization of the police department up on the merit system, gradually divorc- ing it from all political influence until he had the force upon such basis of intelligence and fitness that he was able to give Toledo the most orderly and de- cent city government in its history. He announced his purpose to secure to ev- cry class of citizens their fullest rights under the law No dras edicts were issued against the saloons; they were merely compelled to observe the law and to conduct their places in an orderly manner. ..
 Perhaps Ma. TOT Jones will be gov ernor or something by and by if he doesn't degenerate into a trimming pol itician

iMR. DRISCOLL'S OPPORTUNTTY.

Well, there wasn't as much political apathy in New Haven yesterday as some thought there would be. The day was fine, and about 16,500 voters either walked to the polls or were car ried thither on the flowery beds of ease which political workers provide for total vote for governor in New Haven was 1S,746. Yesterday the total vote for
 mayor was 16,443. Not small for an off
 year. and encouraging as an indication
 of interest in taxes pavements and things.
 MT. Driscoll didn't have so abundant an entrance into the mayoralty as some of the old-time Democratic mayors have
 had, but he and his supporters doubt less feel that twill serve. He is elect ed. and elected by such plurality that there will be no talk of a contest. He he will be lacking in the shrewdness and the ambition that are said to be his if he does not try to use it for the good of the city and his own credit. We be- lieye he will try to so use it. How much success he will have remains to be seen He will not enter office under very fa- vorable conditions He will have more trouble with the factions in his own party than he can shake a stick or his fist at He will have some fantastic handicaps that will be left oyer. And he will have the -man-power bur den. But if he works as honestly and intelligently as he can, doesn't get the big head and isn't wickedly partisan he ought to be able to accomplish some thing under the fine new charter so be- nevolently created for him. It is the duty of all good citizens to give him their support and approval when he de- serves them. It is his duty to deserve them in all his official acts

THE SocI4LISr TOTE.

Much interest is felt in the growth of the Socialist vote in this city. Last year 53G Socialist votes were cast here for governor. Yesterday the Socialist vote ranged from 920 to 1885. So it has practically doubled in a year. If it keeps on at that rate it will soon be the conquering vote. But there is no reason to think it will. Socialism is rather attractive just now to some who don't think and also to some who do think, but how permanent or how eX- tensive place if is going to have in the politics of this country remains to be seen. There have been aforetime several isms that have had a very prom ising look.

COLD IN RUSSIA.

There may soon be a god-mining boom in Russia In order to promote more thorough, systematic, scientific, and rapid exploitation of the immense goldfields in the southern Urals, the Russian government is about to estab- fish six subsidized schools of mining en- gineering in various parts of that re-
 zion. The northern Urai IS believed by many geological experts to be still richer than the southern section, both in quartz gold and auriferous sand, but as yet it has only been investigated very superficially in a few scattered locali- ties. Many of the tributaries of the Obi, Sofia, and Manya rivers are known, however, to be extremely rich in auriferous deposits. It is thought that very promising field of lucrative mining enterprise is about to be opened to foreign capitalists in the northern and southern Urals Word comes from Askabad that very rich gold deposits

jabot of delicate lace furnished neck ornamentation. But this was not enough so there was included in the scheme a long vest to which the revers were att tached. It was cream cloth braided in silver, and matched the waving band upon the skirt. The dress goods was pretty colored Italian cloth. With a sailor collar to match the vest there surely was no chance to claim that this bodice didn't have its full share of elaborat tion, and it looks now as if that would be the general rule once summer fiufferies are over. The odd shape of the lower part of this vest is repeated in many of the latest tailor jackets. It isn't particularly graceful, especially in a jacket of severe finish, but it's brand new.
 One new form of bodice that looks dreadfully queer unless made just right is the straight front sort. When they are made as they should be, however, they bring out the side curves of the figure wonderfully, suggest slmness and grace and almost accomplish har- mony of front line no matter what the Irregularities of the curve may be. The fashion best adjusts itself to the jaunty double breasted jackets made with so many of the newest tailor dresses These jackets fasten snugly across the bust, the cloth being drawn stiff and straight down from the bust line in narrowing pleat into which the fitted sides of the jacket curve. The sides are cut very short, the flat front being a little longer and usually made with rounded corners.
