Deep Flowing.

Experiment has shown that deep poN-
ing on some soils is the reverse to bene-
fetal. 1t is safe to say however that
there is no soil but would be benefited
for the growth Of most crops by being
deeply stirred by Subsoiling. which loos-
ems, without turning out, the subsoil. and
the deeper this is done the more benefit
received, Aside from any additional
plant food that may thus become avail
able. the mechanical condition permit
ting excess Of moisture to rapidly settle
away from the surface. where at times
IT Is so detrimental and its retention i'll

when 1t is absolutely necessary for the
proper perfection of the same are both
Of sufficient Importance to make very
deep subs0iling much more generally
practicod than it is a this time.
Farmers cannot too strongly have it
impressed upon their minds that all plant
food is asSimilatCd in a liquid form. No
matter how much plant food there may
be in the soil, il from any cause it is I'M
avoidablc, then it may as well not be
there for any benefit it is to the crop.
Fertility is important. but not always
of first Importance. while the control of
moisture is. In all stiff clay soils. which
are especially benefited by disintegration
by fr0sts, or by sunshine and rain. the
turning over Of the same to any depth
will be beneficial: while light sandy soils
deficient in depth would not receive any
benefit and might receive temporary in

ten inches. Careful thought aud obser-

great danger from verdigris. for the gid

Attempt to Whip Kruger.
BoER FORCES GETTING LESS.

London, May 25.-Once more Lord
wait at Kroonstadt is over and already
the main British army is about twenty
miles north of its former resting place.
Judging from the dispatches of Lord
Roberts at Honingspruit station, while
Aanking him on either side of the rail
road, General French's cavalry and
General Hamilton's mounted infantry
are both slightly in advance of Lord
Roberts and threatening to envelop the
Boer position, which extends twenty
miles due north. Lord Roberts dis
patches include this:
1.-THE officer commanding at Boshof
reports that upwards Of $50 Free Sta
tiers have surrendered during the last
few days and that they have given up
800 rifles. 100 horses and large
amount of ammunition.
"Kelly-Kenny reports that three
companies of yeomanry, who were sent
to repair the telegraph line and to clear
the country between Bloemfontein and
Boshof, have returned to Bloemfontein,
having performed the duty exceeding
ly we'll"
The Boer forces continue to dwindle.
Some of the correspondents assert that
probably only about 1000 of the hardi-
est fighters yet remain although there
are detached parties in various parts
of the Transvaal.
One of the curious pieces of gossip
sent from Lourenzo Marques is that
several women tried to sjambok Pres
ident Kruger, who was rescued by his
body guard. He rarely leaves the pres
idency now, but works necessarily,
holding councils at daybreak and dur
ing the night. 1t was announced at
Pretoria on Sunday that the govern
ment proposed removing the British
prisoners from Pretoria.

Barbarous Though Deserved.

Pueblo, Colo, May 25.-Five minutes
after Calvin Kimblern, the colored
murderer reached Pueblo on a Den
yer and Rio Grande train, his almost
naked corpse was being dragged
through the streets by as many men as
could lay hands on the rope around
his neck, followed by bowling mob
of at least 5000 people. 1t is said that
no attempt was made to protect the
prisoner by the officers having him in
charge. There were many well dressed
women in the mob.
On the journey from Denver Kim
blern was fully aware of the fate that
awaited him here but he retained his
composure and smoked most of the
time. The autopsy held on the bodies
of the two young girls whom he killed
on Sunday morning revealed the fact
that the negro had violated his victims
before shooting them.

Another EARTHQUAKE I'm Mexico.

City of Mexico, May 22.-Reports
from outlying states show the earth
quake of last week which was mild in
the capital, to have been severe on the
Pacific coast. The second shock was
followed by tidal wave many feet in
height, enveloping every coast town of
Colima and Jalisco. At Penitas, in
Jalisco, and Zapotillo, in Tepec, fish
ing boats were swamped and several
natives were drowned. 1t took three
minutes to travel across the republic.
The duration at Zemora and generally
was one minute, and at Morelia but
two seconds, but there the shock was
greatest of all. In this city the ma
tional palace and the church of San
Francisco have cracks in the walls
which have been widened, and repairs
are necessary.

ROMANCE OF TWENTY YEARS
eliminates in DR.. Hogan's Mrrriage to
His Sweetheart.

eliminates in DIR. Hogan's Mcrriage to
His Sweetheart.
DIR. John Garrison Hogan and Mrs.
Estelle Broadwell. of Cincinnati, will
be married at St. Peters Episcopal
church at 1880 o'clock this evening,
Rev. DR.. Short officiating. This will
be the elimination of a pretty romance
having its origin twenty years ago,
when the bride and groom went to the
high school together at Morocco, Ind,
and were boy and girl sweethearts.
While no formal engagement was en-
tered into at that time, owing to their
youth, each felt bound to the other.
When young Hogan left school for col
lege it was with his firm determination
to return as soon as he had graduated
and make the pretty girl his wife. Cir
cumstances drove him to the west in
search of fortune. Here he remained
until in 1886, when he returned to Mo-
rocco on the eve of the girls marriage
to Harvey Broadwell of Cincinnati, who
was 25 years her senior. She had sup
posed herself forgotten, not having
heard from DR.. Hogan in four or five
years, and listened to the pleadings Of
her admirer. DR.. Hogan again left
home, while Mrs. Broadwell removed
to Cincinnati, where she has since
lived. Six years she was wife, and
then her husband died, and for eight
years she had been a widow. From the
day Miss Estelle Kennedy became the
bride of Mr.. Broadwell until last
spring, DR.. Hogan had not heard of
her, but he never married. In April,
1S9, DR.. NJ. L. Humpston of Goodland,
Ind, the family physician of the Ken
nedys, visited st. Louis and was the
guest of DR.. Hogan, who had establish
ed himself in business here. Dr..
Humpston informed DR.. Hogan of the
death of Mr.. Broadwell and that his
widow had not remarked. When he
learned of this DR.. Hogan could scarce
ly wait until his guest had retired to
write to his one-time sweetheart. A
few days later he received an answer.
Having once lost out by delay tho doc
tor was determined to know his fate
at the earliest possible moment. Pack
ing his valise he took a train fox Gin
cinnati, and at once laid siege 70 the
heart of the widow. So vigorously did
he press his wooing that after visit
of three days he returned to St. Louis
buoyed up with the knowledge chat
the prize would be his. Last Thanks
giving day the first week il May was
selected as the time for the wedding,
an dtoday will witness the elimination
of the romance, the bride coming to
this city to wed the man who wooed
her when a girl.-St. Louis Globe
