The Roman Stem apple originated
in New Jersey and is very successful
along that coast and as far south As
North Carolina, according to the re-
ports Of the American Pathological
Society. 1t also succeeds very we'll in
all the strip Of country between New
Jersey and the Rocky Mountains, be-
ing successfully grown as far south
as the southern line Of Tennessee. It

The question Of the purity of Paris
green Is coming to be Of first import
ance. The Paris green now ON the
market varies In value from full price
to nothing. Many Of the n~on-successes
of spraying are directly due to the
inferior quality of the Paris green
used. Some Of the stun being sold
for Paris green Il OF no more value
for spraying purposes than 30 much
salt or land plaster. This charge Is
not rashly made, but Is based on care
ful investigations by the California and
other experiment stations. 1t ID said
that pure Paris green cannot be sold
under 80 cents per pound, but that
much now on the market il retailing
ct IL cents and under and paying .
handsome profit. The California ex-
pertinent station sent out inquiries to
all the stations in the United States
asking the experience Of the officials
a. to the Paris green sold In their
respective states. Some Of these re-
plies showed that little fault could be
found, 30 Tar as the officials had
learned: On the other hand reports
from other states showed an alarming
condition of affairs In this respect.
The report Of the California station
shows that in that state. three kinds
Of inferior Paris green are sold. One
Of these the report designates as
bogus, another - a~dulterated and the
third ~ low grade The kind styled

val Kentucky Governments

Frankfort, KY, Feb. 2S.-Two state
governments, completely differed, and
each claiming to be the regular and
legal officials, are in Frankfort, and
will remain, each claiming the right to
administer the affairs of state, till the
question is adjudicated in the courts.
The only ludicrous thing about the
contests came into the situation Tues
day. As anticipated, the banks refuse
to recognize either of the contending
factions, and as a result, both are
without money. and the state funds are
as securely tied up as they could be.
Legislators, county as well as state of
ficials, and all kinds of contractors
with the state will have to wait until
somebody is authorized by a decision
of the court to pay them, and the state
will have to wait on what is due it till
the courts say who is authorized to re-
ceive it. The democratic state officers
have opened offices in the State hotel.
The charitable and penal state institu-
lions are among the sufferers.

PIT BOSS BLAMED.
Coroner's Jury Makes Inquiry in
to the Death of Jas. Graham.

Coroner Eugene Cheesman went to
Evans last evening and at s O'Clock
held an inquest over the remains of
James Graham who fell down the
shaft of mine No. 5 of the American
Coal Company about noon Tuesday
and was instantly killed. There were
quite number of witnesses examined
and the inquest required considerable
time. The coroner's jury consisted
of L. M. Bacon, T. M. Wells and
Frank Hoffman.
The finding of the jury was as fol-
lows:
1--WE do find that said deceased
came to his death by the negligence
of James Wilson, pit boss at mine No.
5, American Coal Co., in assigning
Engineer Rodene to other duties and
he, James Wilson, taking charge of
the engine. Wilson, not being a
practical engineer, failed to stop the
cage at the proper landing. After
the said cage was above the landing,
through excitement, said James
Graham fell from the cage to the
bottom of the shaft a distance of
about 100 feet causing DEATH"
The witnesses testified to the fol.
lowing: The pit boss ordered the
engineer to 60 to the fan to oil it and
he stayed in the engine house to watch
things. While the engineer was gone
to do as he had been ordered some of
the miners at the bottom of the shaft
signalled that they wanted to come
to the top. Wilson signalled back all
right and went to the engine to hoist
the men himself. He brought the cage
to the surface and it made stop
about two feet above the ground level
and then went to the top works and
dumped the men into the chutes and
screens as though they had been a
load of coal. When the cage started
for the top works young Graham at
tempted to jump off and catch the
side braces of the shaft house and
after the cage had passed him he fell
back andsto the bottom of the shaft
and met instant death. The men knew
that something was wrong when they
started for the top of the dump house
and knewithat they would be dumped
as load of coal. They cid about 80
feet through the screens to the ground
and were little the worse for the mis-.
hap. A couple of them had few bad
scratches.
Pit boss Wilson states that he has
been accustomed to the use of min
ing engine for the past fifteen years
or more. That he had the engine
under perfect control when the &C.
cident occurred, but that in turning
to look out of the window to see how
much he would have to lower the cage
to be even with the ground his foot
slipped off the brake and the cage
went to the top. The engineer states
that the engine could not have been
under control at the time or it could
not have gone to the top. And hence
the verdict of theIury.
James Graham, the deceased, is a
young unmarried man 81 years of age
and his parents reside in Scranton,
Kansas. The arrangements for the
funeral have not yet been completed.
