lWHALLEN IS NOW
 AFTER FARRELL SEsars Out a Warrant Cha 5 False : PretenSeC. AND MISPLACED CONFIDENCE Says Harrell Came to Him for the
 a Money. THAT HE WAS IN NEED OF $5,000 Whallen Further States That Harrell Kept $500 and Placed the Bal
 ance in Box 55e of the
 Safety Vault
THAT HE WAS IN NEED OF $5,oOO

Louisville, Ky, January S-colonel John H. Whallen, who is now under bond on charge of offering $4,5OO to Senator S. B. Farrell for the 1atter's vote against Will liam Goebel in the organization of the leg islature, today swore out a warrant against GIarrell, charging the alter with obtaining money under false pretenses. Whallen filed a lengthy affidavit in which he claims to have been victim of misplaced confi- dence.
 He states that Senator Harrel1 came to him and said that he was against Goebel, but that he (HarrelD had already accepted $500 to vote for Goebel and had promise from Goebel for the superintendency of the Hopkinsville asylum, but that he could not support Goebel.
 As he wanted to repay the Goebel man. ager his money and put himself on sure footing, he wanted $5,OOO
 Whallen says that $5 600 of his money was given Harrell that Harren kept $500 and put the balance in box 559 of the safety vault of the Louisville Trust company and that Harrell obtained tdlis money on a false pretense, and that it was false as he had already received $500 from repre- sentative of Goebel.
 Whallen says that on his advice a number of his friends had bet large sums that Goebel would not be elected governor of Kentucky, and that after the election, by Whallen's advice, his friends had bet large sums of money that Goebel would not be seated by the legislature. He says the money paid to Harrell was his own, and paid by him with the desire to protect him. self and his friends against the loss of money wagered, and to restore HarreI to such position as would enable him without pecuniary loss to act according to what Harrell reported to be the true dictates of Is conscience. The warrant was taken to Frankfort. this afternoon for service.

REPUBLICANS SAY TAYLOR WILL STAY As the People Will Not Sub- nit to the Unseating of
 Their Candidate.

Frankfort, Ky, January 8.-The repubii- can joint caucus tonight nominated ex- Governor William 0. Bradley as the re- publican candidate for senator by acclama- tion, Congressman Boreing. the only other aspirant who had sought this honor from the minority, having instructed his friends not to present his name.
 Glhe occasion was rendered somewhat sensational by the speeches of MT. Brad- ley and other republican leaders. Repre- sentative Slack, of Owensboro, in placing Bradleys name in nomination, reviewed the political situation as it has progressed since the legislature convened, and de- clared his belief that the democratic ma jority has determined to rob the present occupants of the state offices to which they were fairly and honestly elected by the people in November, in spite of the most gigantic frauds that ever disgraced the state, and put in their places the gang Of conspirators who dominate the party in the legislature"
 He closed by dramatically declaring that the people would not submit to the un- seating of Governor Taylor.
 Ex-Governor Bradley, in his speech ac- eefi5tng the nomination, said the state had never in its history had before it such q state of affairs exists. He said tho very air was full of conspiracy. All of these had failed up to uate. however he said, and "as sure as God reigns the men who have been placed in these offices by the sovereign people will stay there.' These sentiments were also expressed by other speakers and applauded.
 The tone of the speeches in the repubfi- can joint senatorial contest tonight was afterward construed oy the Goebel leaders as admission on the part of the repub- lican leaders that they regard Goebel's sue cess in his contest before the legislature as practically assured. Upon the heels of the talk that Governor Taylor should be backed up in the possess sion of the office, If he is unseated by party vote, came rumor tonight that Ex Governor Bradley may contest Blackburn's election to the senate. The rumor is nei- uher affirmed nor denied by anyone with authority Ito speak, and those who are ad- l vocating such a step justify it on the 1 ground of retaliation.

THE MOLINEUX CASE.
The Prosecution May Finish It's Case
 This Week.

New York, January S.-The developments land B. Molineux for the murder of Mrs Kate J. Adams brought the hope that the prosecution would get through with it's case by the end of the present week. Three witnesses gave important testimony.
 Morriss Hermann, member of the firm in Newark, N J.. for which Molineux was superintendent, said that the firm of Nor ris Hermann & Co. went into the dry color business in 1896 with Mo1ineux as super knowledge of dry colors and chemical re- ceiptss that they started to work. Evidence was introduced last week to show the ease with which cyanide of mercury, the poison which is alleged to have killed Mrs. Adams, was produced by combination of dry colors. Edward B. Hay, of Washing ton, testified as an expert in handwriting. lIe gave 1t as his opinion that the letters signed Barnett and Cornish" and the additional handwriting were written by the same person. He also said il was his opinion that the admitted ulandwritings and disputed handwritings in the Barnett and "Cornish" letters and that of the poison package address were all written by one man, and that man was the prisoner al the bar
 Alfred H. Graham, paying teller of the Bank of North America, said there was absolutely no doubt in his mind that the address on the poison package and that on the bogus Barnett and Cornish 1etters were written by the same hand
 Court adjourned until tomorrow.

THE RACE PROBLEM
Annual Conference of Leading Men to be
 Held in Montgomery

Montgomery, January S.-At meeting this evening of a committee of twenty-five representative of the leading men of Mont gomery, the first step was taken toward the inauguration of an annual conference to be held in this city on the race problem. The conference is especially intended to, be fair ly and fully representative of southern thought on such subjects as the relation of the negro to the franchise, to religion and education and to the social order Including discussion of the lynching question)
 The committee has no partisan or faction al bias, and the movement represents an effort to discuss the race question from the southern standpoint, but. apart from poli- tics.

 "Princeton, N J., January 4, 1900. "Editor of the Tribune: nj q am only able on account of illness to sit up occasionally for a short time and must forego a contribution to your supple ment commemorative of the splendid ca reer of Andrew Jackson.

Lake Erie and Western Sale

New York, January S.-Gen. Samuel Thomas, speaking today of the deal by which the Vanderbilts secured control of the Lake Erie & Western, said:
 ''The sale of the Lake Erie & Western to the Lake Shore was natural consequence of the settlement of the estate of the late Calvin s. Brice. I don't feel qualified to speak concerning the plans of the Wander bilt interests relative to the property they have acquired, yet so far as actual opera tion of the road is concerned, I don't think the change in ownership will make a great amount of difference for the Lake Shore and Lake Erie & Western have always been in friendly cooperative relations"

The Famous Monte omery Hostelry, Where Marquis De Lafayette Was Entertained,
 Falls Before Progress of CiviIizati

Montgomery Ala, January S.-The La- fayette house, the oldest building in Mont gomery. is being torn down to make place for a modern business block. It was built of handmade brick and hewn timber more than eighty years ago, and was greatly ad- mired in its day for it's architectural ex- ,cellence.
 In the olden days it was the leading hos telry of this section. When the Marquis DeLafayette was touring the country in 1S25 the elite of the state gathered here to honor him. He came from Macon, Ga., by stage coach. The hewn wood sills in the old building are in remarkable state of preservation.

Work of Agricultural COLLEGES

WORK OI SOlleEeSs
The work of the agricultural college
does not consist altogether in sending
Its students back to the farm in condi-
ton to become better tillers of the soil
or better breeders Of stock than their
fathers We're, says the American Guilt
vator. This Is but small part of what
we should expect of them. They should
send out many who are qualified to in
struct others by becoming teachers
themselves. 1t is not all of teacher
to understand his subject, but he must
be able to impart his knowledge to 9TH
ers SO that they will understand it.
One Of the best teachers we ever knew
was not what would be called an edu-
Gated man, but what he knew he could
explain SO that almost the simplest in
tellect could learn from him. There
are others SO highly educated that they
speak in terms that are as unknown
tongues" to those whom they desire to
instruct. They cannot teach those who
are more than one degree below them
in attainment. They need an interpre-
ter. Some such have written for agri-
cultural papers. and we have even seen
some bulletins from colleges and ex-
pertinent stations that we thought were
written by such learned ignoramuses,
whose writings We're of little use to
farmers seeking information. Then
there are others whose college educa-
ton and natural abilities fit them to be
always students. They will Investigate
carefully and with much painstaking,
perhaps, only in the end to find that
they have but proven scientifically
facts that the practical man learned
long ago by costly experience. Yet
many of their investigations lead to a
knowledge Of new facts, which practl-

Water for Cows.

The cow needs water to digest her
food, to keep the body in running order,
to wash out the products Of digestion
and for the milk supply, and If all these
are to be kept in their normal condition
water must be supplied or the milk flow
suffers. 1t takes four pounds of water
for every pound of dry matter in the
food, or, if the COW is on dry food, it
will require nearly 100 pounds of water
to enable the COW to work up her daily
ration. For every pound of milk given
the COW requires So pounds of water,
Or 115 pounds of water for twenty-five
pounds of milk. What between the
food and the milk supply COW needs
an abundant supply of good, clean
water, and If that cannot be obtained
she will endeavor to make up the de-
ficiency at the nearest mudhole, place
that is neither good for the health of
the animal, her udder, nor the cleanli-
ness of the milk. Mudholes for water
ing cows have been responsible for
much ropy milk, gassy curd and poor
favored butter, to say nothing Of the
liability of disease bacteria invading
the udder.-Hoard's Dairyman.

The market garden business is a very
good business usually when one makes
it his entire business. Yet there are al
ways failures and disappointments in
it. Some crops fail to grow well, and
others yield abundantly and cannot be
sold at satisfactory price. But the
family garden, a little larger than need
ed for the home supply, well MANFRED
and well cared for, is never a disap-
pointment. If some crop is a partial fail
ure it may not have any surplus over
the home demand, but there will be
something else to substitute for it. If
another is over abundant and low
priced it can be used freely, and will
taste just as good as If the price were
twice as high. If there is market for
the surplus and it is sold, it seems al
most like finding money, and II 1t can
not be sold there are some who find
much pleasure in supplying the wants
of poorer neighbors who cannot afford
to pay the price asked by retail deal
ers. Plan each year to have good
garden, and trust to luck only for the
market.-American Cultiyator.

Alfalfa Roots.

OF course l have always dimly real
lied that in its subterranean habits al
falfa differed from most other plants,
but the full extent of this difference
was never fully brought home to me
until last fall while excavating for a
cellar in alfalfa sod. The soil in ques-
ton is light loan, with occasional
thin streaks of clay. 1t had been well
plowed in the fall of 1897, and the win
ter frosts left it in prime shape for
seeding in early May. ] used twenty
pounds of seed per acre, which proved
to be rather too much, considering the
fine condition Of the soil, as it gave a
probable average of twenty plants per
foot. The excavation was made five
and one-half feet deep. Much to my
astonishment, one square foot of the
cellar bottom showed twenty-five of
the tough, white tap-roots shooting
Straight down into the unknown depths
below, while over the whole area nm
average of thirteen or fourteen was
maintained. In six months growth
two-thirds of these plants had sent
their tap-roots more than five and one
half feet in quest of water-F. NJ.

Cinnamon Are Exceedingly Formal.
The form of greeting when two Chi
-namen of the same caste meet is for a
man to clasp both his own hands be-
fore him, make slight bow and say:
"Tsing, tsing," which means, "Hail,
hail." and is equivalent to the Amerl-
can "How do you do?" Another form
of greeting consists of words which
mean 'Have you eaten rice?" to which
the answer is, 81 have eaten enough"
Besides these, there are many other
forms of salutation to be used in keep
ing with the rank of the person greet
ed. The highest form is the "San-kin-
kin-kao," which means thrice knceling
and nine times knocking the head on
the ground, The emperor and heaven
are worshiped by this salutation. 1t
was the refusal of the first American
and English ministers to China to per-
form this abject ceremony which
caused much delay in securing treaty
rights and led to the war Of 1858 in
which the English and Americans acted
as allies.
