Broom Corn.

The high prices received last year
for this crop have Caused renewal of
interest and many with no experience
are thinking of growing it the coming
season. The growing of the crop is a
comparatively simple matter, but the
curing and marketing is more difficult.
It is usually planted with three to four
stalks every Is inches in rows 3 to 4
feet apart,
The corn is harvested before the
seed is fully ripe. The tops are brok-
en- off about eight inches from the
head and the seed IS removed by a
stripper.e The brush is allowed to dry
in sheds under cover, as rain greatly
Injuries the quality. When dry, the
broom corn is baled and marketed. A
large increase in the acreage will nat
urally result in a fall in price. One
fourth of a ton cured broom corn to
the acre is fair yield.

Knew What He Wanted.

There was a peculiar individual in
the city yesterday, probably the only
one of the kind in tie State.
He was a Wetzel county man en-
route to the Spencer Asylum and he
was going there by his own free will.
Wednesday evening the man boarded
the o. r. R. R. train at New Martins
Vile and Conductor Will Page, MOTTO
ing his peculiar actions, asked Capt.
Mehn, who was on the train, to watch
him.
Capt. Mehn kept his eye on him un-
til he reached this city, when he left
the train and was not again seen. Yes
.erday morning he showed up at the
early o. r. r. R. train and bought a
ticket to Spencer He told Capt.
Mehen, who was at the depot, that he
lived about twenty miles back of New
Martinsville, and that he had walked
in there and was going to Spencer for
treatment, being crazy.
When he volunteered this informa-
bion he was referred to E, H. Flynn, OF
Spencer. who was on his way home
from here, and he looked after the fell
low, being a director of the asylum
He said he would have him commit
ted at Spencer and given the treat
ment he so earnestly desired. While
the fellow was sadly off on everything
else he was sure of where he was 60

Senator CIark's Start.

It is historic fact that Senator
Clark was perlpatetic merchant, SELL
ing to the miners anything they want
ed and had to have. His profits were
enormous, but his risks were by no
means light, and he was entitled to all
he got. 1t was hard life. He drove
from place to place with an OK team.
There is a story in Butte, pretty well
vouched for, that his first large lift
was gained by corner in baking
powder. He bought up all there was
for sale in a certain prosperous min
ing camp and when the SHOWS set in
rendering travel out of the question
he disposed of his stock at prices that
would make our heads swim. Some
say that he got as much as 500 can
Another venture of this wonderful lit
tie read-headed Irlshman was In to-
bacco. The weed was scarce in the
mining camps. Getting on a horse he
rode to Boise City, Idaho, and bought
several thousand pounds at about $1.25
to s1.6O pound. This cargo he
drove to Helena, where it was sold tc
cash customers at So a pound. The
nucleus of his great fortune was made
in the trade. II any commodity was
scarce in the mining regions he laft
in stock and got rid of 1t at big pro-
fits. Nothing escaped him. He car

Eruption of Vesuvius.

Naples, May 10.-The cable car SER
vice up Mount Vesuvius has been sus-
pended, owing to the eruption. -Four
Englishmen attempted to ascend the
mountain on foot, and, eluding the
vigilance of carbineers which the as
cent is considered unsafe, they ap-
preached the summit. Suddenly the
volcano belched forth stream of lava
and stones, which descended on the
foolhardy tourists, who were rescued
in terribly bruised condition.
The activity OF VCsuvius is becom-
ing more formidable, and the observa.
tory officials announce that the sizes.
mic instruments are extremely agtat,

gressional Record.
quote paragraph from that
speech that would do honor to any
statesman. w. P. BENNETT.
IF you would raise fallen man from
degration, elevate the servile from his
groveling pursuits TO the rights and
dignity Of men, you must first place
within their reach the means for sup
plying their pressing physical wants.
so that religion may exert its influ-
ence on the soul and soothe the weary
pilgrim in his pathway to the tomb.
For it is in vain you talk of the good
ness and beneveloncc Of an Ominis-
cient Ruler to him whose life from the
cradle to the grave is but one contin-
ued scene of pain. misery and want.
Talk not of free agency to him whose
only freedom is to choose his own
method to die. In vain you entreat
him to cultivate the intellect and pur-
ify the heart whose days are dragged
out in procuring a morsel to sustain
life and whose last prayer, as he falls
broken hearted into his kennel of
straw, is that he may never behold
the light of another day. In such
cases there might perhaps be some
feeble conception OF religion and its
dutes-of the infinite, everlasting and
pure; but unless there be more than
common intellect they would be like
the dim shadows that float in the twl-
light.
Riches, it is true, are not necessary
to mans enjoyment; but the means tC
prevent starvation are. Nor is
| splendid palace necessary to his rea
happiness; but a shelter against the
storm and winters blast is.
IF you would lead the erring bacl
from the paths of vice and crime t
virtue and honor, give him home
give him hearthstone, and he will
surround it with household gods.
