s1ow.Germinatinx Seed.


There are some kinds Of seeds, nike
the satisfy, that are SO hard and dry
that 1t seems impossible to terminate
them quickly enough In spring so as to
keep ahead Of the weeds. We advise
putting such seed in water made al
most scalding heat, or about $50 de-
grees to 100 degrees, for few minutes
at time, withdrawing the seeds and
repeating the scalding until the seed
shows signs Of swelling. Then plant
such seeds, and If the soil is warm the
plants will be up as quickly as the
weeds. Onion seed may be treated the
same way. Some kinds Of plants which
come up very small and are not con-
spicuous can be cultivated quite near
to the rows by dropping few radish
seed in the row where the more valu-
able crop Is grown. The radish will
show sooner than almost any other gar
den plant, and what radish are thus
grown can be pulled out and used by
the time the other crop can be seen to
hoe closely to it,

do the work will be needed, as the
trough, while boiling, must be filed so
az to cover the felloes.
This trough (a) can be made Of gal
vanized iron, by timer. Set it on
brick or stone in such way that fire
can be built and kept up under it. Put
In enough oil to cover the felloes, and
let come to q boil. You are now ready
to put In the wheels. The way this
10 done is shown SO plainly in the illus
tration that description is unnecessary.
To prepare the wheels, let them soak
In water until the tires are tight, wash
Ing out all the mud and dirt possible.
After being placed in the oil, the wheel
should be slowly turned to prevent
charring. The length Of time required
to boil wheel depends on it's condi-
ton, as does the amount of oil it takes
for set. Two sets Of wheels can be
easily set in half day. This job will
prove far more satisfactory than one
performed by blacksmith, who, often
on account Of the dry wood swelling
after he has shrunk the tire, ruins a
wheel by dlshing 1t.

Advance ON Ca1umpit Begun by Gem.
era1 Hale.
The advance of the American forces on
Calumpit began Monday morning. Gen
Hale's brigade crossed the river at Quin-
qua and moved down the bank Of the river
toward Calumpit. Many rebels were driv-
en- from in front Of the American line.
Fifty of the rebels were killed, while the
American loss was only one killed. Gen.
Macarthur, with Wheaton's brigade and
an armed train, on the completion Of
Hale's movement will then advance on,
Calumpit. Malolos will be evacuated, only
the railway station being held by the
American forces. The army gunboats, boz
ing unable to ascend the river to cooperate
in the movement on Calumpit, have re
turned to Manila.
1t is understood at the War Department
that Gen. Otis has started general move
ment north, with the purpose Of clearing
the rebels out of that part Of Luzon
through which runs the railroad, and Of
showing the strength of the American.
army in those populous provinces between.
Manila and Malolos and east Of Manila.
Gen. Otis intends to take control Of the.
only railroad in the Philippines This runs
from Manila north 1913 miles in Pangasi-
nan province. 1t iss regarded necessary
that this should be done to cut off the sup
plies Of arms and ammunition which are
run over from Hong Kong to Lingayen
bay and carried down the railroad to the
insurgents scattered from the northern
terminus south to the American lines. This
campaign will be more extensive than any

GOVERNOR oeLEsHY DEAD.

Soldier Passes Away.

Illinois Dearest Veteran Statesman
Soldier Passes Away.
Richard ]. Oglesby, thrice Governor OF
Illinois, once the States representative in.
the upper house of Congress, and one of.
the few men left who were prominent in
political and civic life in the West during
thesthreatened days of the rebellion, died
at his home on his farm near Elkhart
Monday. Mr.. Oglesby's death was the
result Of an attack of vertigo, an ailment
from which he had long been a sufferer.
A sudden attack of the disease overcame
him while he was in the bathroom Of his
house, In falling his head struck piece
of furniture. Conclusion of the brain was
caused and he died without regaining con-
sciousness.
Gov. Oglesby had been failing in health
since the spring of 1895, when he was TAX
en- with an attack of the grip and was for
nearly three months confined to his home.
From this attack he rallied finally, but
never fully regained his former strength.

The Leaf of Young Grain.

There is much difference in the
breadth, size and color Of leaf In young
grain as it comes up. 1t is partly de-
pendent on the character Of the seed,
as the plant sends up its first leaves
mainly from the starchy matter which
encloses the germ and which the germ
uses until it is able to put forth roots
into the soil. Barley being larger and
heavier than oats has always broader
leaf, though if oats are sown on rich
land and somewhat late they will come
up with a leaf that looks like barley.
But this rank growth early is not re-
garded favorably by the cultivator, for
he knows that it is liable to be follow
ed by rust of stalk or grain later in the
season. Narrowing grain that comes
up with too small and thin leaf bruis-
es these first leaves, and as 1t also
stimulates root growth 1t causes the
plant to send up new shoots with much
broader leaves. This dries out the soil,
thus preventing the excessive growth
later that invites rust.

Setting Wagon Tires.

There are many jobs that a farmer
can do for himself, If he only makes
the attempt One Of these, says the
American Agriculturist, is the setting
Of the tires on the wheels Of his We
hicles. The usual charges at shop
for one wheel will exceed the cost to
the farmer Of setting all four, and the
time spent in hauling them to and from
the shop, to say nothing of the trouble
and vexation Of unsatisfactory work or
ruined wheels. is far greater than it
would be to do the work himself. To
do this, it requires an outlay Of only
the cost Of a metal trough and linseed

NEGROES BURNED AND HANGED.
Terrible Penalties Visited by Geor-
gians on Black Criminals.

gians on Black Criminals.
Sam Hose, the Georgia mulatto who ten
days ago murdered Alfred Crawford and
subsequently criminally assaulted the
dead mans wife, paid an awful penalty
for his crime. dashed to a large tree,
with his ears and fingers cut off, Hose
was roasted to death. Over twenty-five
hundred white people of both sexes stood
around the tree and watched the horrify-
ing spectacle.
Hose was captured by the Jones broth
ers of Houston County at his mothers
cabin. They expect to receive the reward
Of 81, $50 offered for his arrest. When
first taken from the train the doomed man
was marched at the head of 500 people to
the Jail and delivered to Sheriff Brown.
This, however, was Simply to secure the
reward to the Jones brothers. The victim
was at once taken from the sheriff's GUS
tody and marched toward an open field
He was taken to the place where Mrs.
Crawford was stopping and identified by
her. En- route ex-Goy. Atkinson and
Judge Freeman pleaded with the crowd,
but the only answers to their exhortations
were: 'fOn to Palmetto!" ITO the stake"
"Burn himv' ."Think of his crimer'
When the great pine tree selected for
the place Of execution was reached the
negro was placed with his back to the
tree, and he was allowed to talk. He con-
fessed killing Crawford and claimed he
was hired by Lige Strickland, the negro
preacher at Palmetto, to commit the
crime. Before he finished talking the
crowd tore his clothes off of him and
wound heavy chain about his body and
the torch was applied. His body had been
drenched with kerosene, and pile of in
f1ammable material was piled at his feet.
The negro gave an awful Shrek when the
flames began to shoot up over his body,
and succeeded in partly breaking away.
He was pushed back to the tree and bound
securely. The body was cut to pieces
when life was extinct.
Lige Strickland, the negro preacher who
was accused by Sam Hose Of paying him
to kill Farmer Crawford, was tried by
mob at Palmetto, Ga, and found guilty.
He was promptly hanged. The body was
found swinging to the limb of tree about
mile from town. The ears and fingers
were cut off, and on the body was pinned
a placard with the following words: I'VE

be regarded as an official or public utter
ance in the sense that would warrant the

tent to take such action as the case seemed

Breeding Turkeys.

are from yearling hens bred to a COB
bier two years old, and three would be
still better. The young hen will lay
more eggs the first year than she will
in any year after, and II. she mates
with q gobbler two years or over the
young turks will be active and vigor-
GUS. Watch the hen turkey carefully,
and remove her first eggs as soon as
laid, lest they become chilled. Two and
sometimes three settings Of turkey
eggs must be taken from the young
turkeys and set under common hens
before the hen turkey will sit steadily
herself. The hen turkey must be con-
fined mornings when she has young
chicks, or she will draggle them
through the wet grass and thus kill
them.

Yesterday examining the reservoir
plant, leaving the city late last night.
1t is expected they Will have report
ready for submission to the council at
an early date.
The northwest filter basin was filled
with water and in "a hours dropped
one foot, while in the same length of
time there was rise of Is inches in
the southwest basin, showing that
there was leakage in the bottoms.
Engineer Mead advised that work

mending that eight inches of con-

the slope walls for half the distance
from the bottom be concrete of 10
inches in thickness and the remainder

They were riding on top of a box car
as the train pulled into Geneseo.
CAM bin said he had enough Of tramp
ing and expressed the belief that it
was better that he realize the fact be-
fore getting too far from home.
Camblin was walking along the side
of the track, awaiting the approach of
No. 10. The supposition is that his
intention was to board the blind bag

of the engine and hurled into the air.
He was carried to the City hotel.

that his back was bruised and that he
had sustained internal injuries, which
caused hemorrhages of the lungs,

mains this morning, the jury return
ing a verdict in accordance with the
