Pond Creek burned down sLme time

Judge McAtee, it is said, has refused
10 compel the commissioners To do
this. 1t is now regarded as certain
that Judge Irwin of Illinois, will take
Judge McAtee's place, and Medford
has a fear that he will rule differently
than McAtee. This was given as a
cause for the suddenneSs of the mass
meeting at Medford. The Oklahoma
law cOmpels those who want an elec.

Attempt to Burn.

A cablegram from Manila at 9:35
O'Clock Monday says that The natives
Of the village Of Paco have made a
bold attempt to burn tie headquarters
OF the First Washington volunteers
by setting fire to the huts adjoining
their quarters in the rear. Fortun-
ately, the wind changed at the mo.
ment the fire was discovered and,
famed by a stiff breeze, the flames
spread in the opposite direction, des-
troying fully twenty shacks aud
houses opposite the church. The
incendiaries escaped. Mysterious sig
mails were frequently made along the
enemy's lines during the night, and
this led to the belief that an attack
had been arranged, but nothing hap.
pened.
The rebels are leaving the vicinity
Of San Pedro Ma;ati in small parties
and are reported to be moving toward

Its fastenings, and pulled out several

Harrow Your Wheat.

Harrow the wheat" Is now the
advice Of all those who have tried the
experimen. or studied the subject. In
the present condition OF the growing
wheat there never was a better time
TO test the experiment. The wheat
fields are bare, the surface is dry aud
the ground Is cracked. In this con.
dltion one windy day will extract a
great deal Of moisture, thus lesseuing
the ability Of the pant to recover
from the effect of the unprecedented
freeze.
Narrowing not only Civ, the ground
a needed cultivation, but it makes a
blanket of dust through which no
moisture Can penetrate. The subSur-
face moisture will come up to the
loose ground and stop where it will
do the roots the most good. The
harrow will also oil up the cracks in
the ground through which the moist.
ure from below is nOY sucked out and
wasted by the wine.
The only objection to the use of the
harrow on the wheat fields at this
time of year is the danger of blowing,
but the hard freeze has already made
the surface loose and light aad the
harrow can not make it much worse.
With the wheat crop suffering as it
seems to be, without rain soon this
objection losses its Importance and
makes narrowing necessity. The
quicker it is done the better.
