THE SHOOTING OF JOHN FEENY
In Fayette County Said to Have Been
Accidental
Uniontown News-Standar,

Uniontown News-Standard
No arrest has yet been made for the
shooting of John Feeny, though the
party who did it is said to be known.
County Detective Alex. McBeth made
a thorough examination and cannot
yet tell what action he will take. It
will all depend on the man whe was
shot. If ne RECEIVERS no arrest will
likely follow, as he has stated that he
does not care to push the case for he
is of the opinion no one is to blame.
The blame for the shooting rests on
two persons, only one OF whom is
known. Donald Wilkinson, the en-
gineer at Lemont No. lives near the
end of the street car line, and was in
the crowd that went out from Union
town, in which was Feeny. He stat
ed to the county detective that after
they got off the car some one in the
crowd began to fire off a revolver in
'sfun." He pulled out his own ''gun"
and answered the shots OF the other
man and did not know that anyone
had been hit till he was called out of
his house some llttle;while afterwards.
He also said that he carried revolver
because he had been held up once
while going home.
Mrs. Fl. A. Spauldlng, sister of
Mr. Feeny, says the statement that
any OF his sisters were with Feeny
that night is a mistake. He has four
sisters, three OF whom including her
self live in Chicago. The other is
Mrs. John Hanan Of Ferguson. Mrs.
Spaulding has been visiting here for
several weeks and says she was at
Lemont on Saturday night and did
not hear of the shooting until Sunday
when she went and notified her sister,
Mrs. Hanan and later went to see her
brother at the hospital.
Mr.. Feeny's condition to-day is a
little improved.

THE DAILY NEW DOMINION
moRcANrowN. FEBRUARY IA. 1900.

SATURDAY, February 18th, there will
be placed on the market new novel
by Miss Mary Johnston, with illustra-
tons by Howard Pyle Il will be in one
volume, s vo The price will be $3.50
Like Prisoners of Hope. this is story
of the early years of Colonial Virginia,
opening in 1921 with the arrival from
England of consignment of maidens to
be sold to the eolonists for wives, each
being offered for l20 pounds of tobacco.
Rolfe, who had married and buried
Pocahontas, appears on the scene, but
not as the hero. This is Captain Ralph
Percy, by whom the story is told. and
this is a noble account Of series of
highly dramatic events and experiences,
some caused by the colonists them
selves, some by the London Company
which controlled the colony, others by
the Indians who watched them jealous
ly, and still others by the unfriendly
forces of nature. Over all the wild,
stormy scenes throughout the unfolding
of this drama, Miss Johnston presides
with the steadiness of Fate, and yet the
touch. however firm, is always definite
and fine. Both the story and the man
ner of its telling lend to this book a
very remarkable interest. You can get
this book as soon as it is ON the market
from the Acme Book Store, Morgan
town, w. Va.

Censux of Insects,

IAN insect census has just been taken
on purely scientific lines with a view
to determine as far rs it is possible
which insects are boon and bless
ing to mankind and which are the re-
verse.
According to the census insects are
to be classified as good, bad, and in
different; the good insects number
llG families, the bad insects amount
to lib families, while the indifferent
insects, who could not for one reason
or another satisfactorily answer all the
questions on their census papers, and
must therefore for the present be
looked upon as doubtful characters,
reach total of 72 families.
No fewer than 1l2 families of the
bad or injurious insects feed upon
cultivated plants and crops, doing
damage to and devouring thousands
of pounds worth of vegetable pro-
duce annually, gobbling up our spring
cabbage and succulent young peas,
ETC., in. the most ruthless. fashion,
while the one hundred and thirteenth
family is parasitic upon and causes
much harm to warm -blooded animals.
Of the good or beneficial insects, 79
families devote themselves to the de-
stluction of their wicked, vegetable
devouring brethren, which they ac-
complish in most satisfactory and
wholesale manner, while of the re-
naming useful insects, 80 families
act us scavengers, clearing away with
great rapidity all sorts Of decaying
vegetable and animal matter, two fam.
lilies aid us as pollenizers, and three
form food for our eatable fishes.

The Profit in Poultry.

There is profit in poultry if it is
given half chance. Even when the
returns in fowls and eggs are small a
flock may be of great value as foragers.
The quantities of insects and weed
seeds that.are devoured are seldom
taken into consideration, but they are
not to be passed by without notice.
So We can we'll afford to keep the hen,
even though the mischief done were
twice as great. But with poultry, as
with other farm stock, the day for the
scrub is past.
So much has been written regarding
the immense profit to be obtained
from poultry that one might almost
suppose that the millennium would
surely be at hand as soon as every one
could be induced to raise chickens.
It would be as we'll to advise every
BODY to raise cucumbers Why not
recommend the gardener to grow
wheat OF the dairyman to raise sheep?
If farmer has taste for poultry he
is likely to make it an important part
of his business, sfor he can discover
what is profitable without being told.
If he has not an aptitude for fowls it
is the part of wisdom to limit himself
to small flock, as many do. There
are many farms on which small focks
are kept merely to supply the family
with table fowls and eggs. Few or
none of the products arc sold. Other
interests are found more congenial
than poultry raising, consequently
more profitable. Frank D. Wells,
before the Michigan Poultry Breeders
| Association.

Nervous and Dizzy
Hot Water Wells.

Tie wells in parts Of Arizona have
recently become producers OF hot
water, and apprehension is fci'
by many of the residents of the regions
affected that they are about to become
participants in q grand volcanic drama
In some Of the wells the temperature
of the water rose twenty degrees IN
a single night. In few the phenom-
enon disappeared soon after lts ap-
pearance. In a majority Of the cases.
however, the wells fairly steam from
their ncwly-acguired heat. Inc nrst
known of this curious state OF atfalrs
was q report that the wells at MARI
copa, on the Southern Pacific Railroad,
thirty miles south of Phoenix, had sud-
denly become hot, says the Omaha Bee
It was four days thereafter that the
phenomenon was first noticed dozen
miles west Of that city. A test at one
we'll showed temperature OF nearly
one hundred degrees. No difference
is noted in wells in the immediate VI
cinitl Of Phoenix.
The line of subterranean heat wave
follows the general direction OF the
Sierra Estrella mountains, volcanic
chain lying Immediately south OF the
ella river. Thence it appears to con
tinue on in the direction Of the Har'
ana Hala mountains, near which arc

canic cones and hills. Of drifted vol

Tho Apple Scab Fungus.

This disease is the most troublesome
enemy OF the apple grower, though it
is not SO recognized, except by scien-
lists. Most apple producers would
name the codling moth as the worst
enemy, but that is because the apple
scab fungus does great deal of dam
age that is not generally attributed to
it. Generally it is recognized only as
DETACHMENT on an apple and the
picker pays little attention to it. AS
matter of fact, the chief work of the
apple scab is on the foliage, with the
result of weakening the entire tree
and of cutting short the crop year
after year.
The uniformed otchardist does not
dream that his early falling fruit is
due to the fungus named. He won
ders why his apples reach a small size
and fall off. Those that hang on are
reduced in size because they have not
had the nourishment the tree should
have given them. Finally, in the fall,
the leaves of the tree begin to fall of
earlier than usual, and the tree is
bare long before the other trees have
begun to shed their foliage. The
scab has been the cause of it all. The
tree has been unable to store up food
for the next years crop, nor has IL
been able, to harden up the wood II
has made. So next year, no matter
how propitious the season or how free
this tree may be from scab, the cror
of fruit on it will be small.
The only remedy is persistent spray
ing, and that, too, for more than one
year. 1t takes two years to produce
q crop of fruit-from the formation O.
the fruit bud to the perfecting OF tht
fruit-and spraying for one year only
will not undo all the damage. The
spraying this year must be begun be
fore the leaves open, to destroy a.
much as possible the fungus on th'
twigs. Spraying calendars are 81

a0LD TIMBER:WOOD."
Love Of Satire Often Got Him in Trouble
With the Court.

In the days antedating railroads IN
northern Iowa, the days of saloons
and circuit courts, certain ponderous
Judge was for many years accom-
panied on his rounds by District At
torney Wood, popularity known as Old
Timber Wood. He had been christened
Timothy, the name was curtailed to
Tim, and by easy evolution developed
into Timber.
Old Timber;W was d unique and
interesting character; rough but digni-
fed, of sound intellect, gifted With d
keen sense OF humor, and far surpass:;
Ing in mental acumen his professional
superior, whom, however, he usually
treated before the world with an al
most ostentatious Difference. They
were the warmest Of friends, the feel
ing between them was romantically
tender, notwithstanding that they had
frequent and violent public fallings
out.
The Judge, who was entirely lacking
in personal dignity, really needed the
support of his friends deferential at
/ titude to keep him in countenancc,
and when it was temporarily removed,
Old Timber-Wood' love of satire oc-
casionally betraying him into the sac
rilege known as contempt Of court"
he was stung to fury. and promptly
punished the offense Many fine had
the attorney been subjected to for his
incautious witticisnis. Being In con-
slant state Of impecuniosity, he inrari-
ably applied to the Judge himself for
money to pay these assessments, 4 fa-
vor which was never refused, the fact
that he must humble himself to ask
1t sufficiently restoring his Honor's
complacencS. The Judge was Of q
thirsty habit, and frequently left the
bench, substituting Wood in his place
as IN old-time schoolmaster substi.

wished to absent himself from the
room-and stepped out to refresh him

On one occasion, very shorty after
a skirmish with the attorney, in which
he had finally avenged his insulted
dignity in the usual way, he abruptly
called Wood to the bench and started
down the aisle. Wood hastily Slipped
into his place, and before he hat
! reached the door raped sharply OF
the desk and called out, Gentlemen

E.sentia,s in Sugar Making.

The secret of making fine quality
of maple sugar consists iu three
things: First, begin early. One pail
of sap in March is worth more than
one and half pals in April The
sap run in the fore part OF March is as
a rule much sweeter than in April.
The colder the weather in which sap
runs, the better the quality of sugar.
A man must have everything all ready
if he wants to begin early. If. the
snow is deep, the roads should be
broken in February if necessary. All
things must be clean, arch or arches
in repair, wood cut and all kinds OF
tools and utensils where you can find
them at moments warning. Next,
rapid boiling. To secure this, the
wood should be cut two or three years
in advance and kept under cover il
possible. If not piled under cover, it
should be piled where the sun eau
shine on ii. The wood should be
split fine to make the hottest fire.
The fire should not be allowed to go
down from the time it is started until
the syrup is ready to take of. Al
arch should be built smoke-tight, and
with chimney tall enough to furnish
good draft. AS for what the sap Is
boiled in, whether M evaporation or
heater and pan or pan alone, II
may not matter so much if man tends
to his business. But as rule, the
simpler the boiling apparatus the bet
ter the result, but the oftener thu
syrup is taken off the betteE Third,
neatness is indispensable. Unless
you keep things sweet, all will be
failure, as far as making the 'rea
thing" goes. c. Bicknell in New
England Homestead.

Short and Useful Paragraphs.

Drv axles add just about double to
the labor of the team. Wagon grease
is cheap and few minutes does the
work.
There is an over-production Of.
weeds. AS soon as the farmers re-
duce their acreages devoted. to this
crop they will be great deal better
of.
Ducks are. ready for the market
when eleven weeks old. Show me
anything else raised on the farm that
can be turned into money so soon and
sure.
There is such thing as over.man-
uring, for when soil is already well
supplied with plant food there will be
no perceptible gain by using fertll-
iZers.
There are great many who are. be-
ginning to think that with we'll
planned rotation manure is practically
unnecessary, and there is no doubt
something in it.
Where grass for close cropping is
sought after, there is nothing that can
beat the Kentucky blue grass. rs it
stands large amount of tramplng
and close pasturase.
There is large money in small
things. One dewberry grower in
Maryland during the past season sold
42, 600 quarts of that delicious trult,
on which he cleared $1,000.
1t is almost impossible to apply toe
much soap-suds or well-rotted man,
ure to asparagus, and us this is one OF
the earliest of vegetables, it will soon
be time to get about the work.
If we had specimen of some good
variety of carrot in place of every
wild carrot plant that we see on the
farms. wouldn't the stock have fine
thing of it and the horses coats
shine.
Some farmers believe straw to be q
nuisance. Nothing of the sort. Use
it around the stable and barnyard,
and whatever you do, don't burn it,
as it's usefulness as fertilizer is toe
great.
Every farmer who wants to keep VI
the fertility of his farm should make
1t a point to put back Oh the land il
the shape OF fertilizers OF some some
sort whatever the previous crop ha:
taken from it.

f,,rsos,sc re,t:,ity On i Farm;

1ncreaelnS Feit:lity on Farm'
A North Lawr6nce (Ohio) farmer
grows corn, oats, wheat and clover in
a regular four year rotation. Every
thing is fed on the farm except the
wheat. lie asks whether it would
pay Letter to raise rye instead of
wheat and feel it out, thus selling no
crop off tile farm. No, wouldn't do
this where you live. Better grow
wheat and sell it and buy wheat bran
with the money to feed with your
corn and stover and clover. Wheat
will bring you, say, IA cents a
pound or near it. You can buy wheat
bran in the summer usually for a
half to ,hree-quarters of a cent a
pound. The pound of wheat con-
tains .1O2 of pound of digestive pro.
tein, ono pound 6f bran, 100: A
pound 5f wheat bran; you see, will
cost considerably less than yoh sell
your pound of wheat for; in fact, You
can nearly buy two pounds of bran
for one of wheat, and tue bran is
worth more than your wheat to feed
with your corn to all growing animals,
aud COWS giving milk or carrying o
calf.
Rye is not quite as good as wheat TO
feed, so you would gain nothing by
growing rye to Iced unless you can
grow IL to Is per cent. more per acre.
You might as we'll feed your wheat.
But the best way is to raise large
crops of good, clean wheat, and sell
and buy bran when it is lowest and
store it for winter. The rotation you
are following; MY friend; and the
feeding out Of practically all you
raise, and your careful saving OF man
ure under cover should enable you to
grow large paying crops of wheat
Your land must increase in fertility
under such good management, and
particularly if you buy bran with the
wheat money for time.
But this isn't all by any means.
You COWS and growing animals will
do much better Tor having plenty of
bran along with corn and cornstalks.
This, with nice clover hay, ought to
make them do well, indeed. Full
grown beef cattle will do pretty we'll
on clover hay and corn and stover.
However, good farmers as you are,
fatteu steers before they get their
growth. and in this case wheat bran
with corn and clover will pay. 1t will
keep the animal growing as we'll as
fattening. The protein in the grain
furnishes growing material, that IS,
the material to make blood and muscle
and bone. Bran is more than one
eighth protein; corn only about one,
twelfth. 1t is true that pound oi
wheat would give more heat and
energy producing food carbohydrates
than a pound of bran, but it would be
lost, as corn and stalks and hay fur
nish more of this than is needed
