letter from Albert f. Woods, chief of
division of vegetable physiology and
pathology of the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, in which he says: 1--WE
send you by this mail some literature
on the culture of cereals in this coun-
try, primarily as a mark OF appreciation
of your kindness in contributing to the
cereal exhibit which the United States
made at the Paris Exposition through
this department. but also with the hope
that it will contribute to the improve
ment of American agriculture. Our
cereal exhibit was pretty generally con-
coded to be the best at the Exposition,
the principal portion of which included
your samples" This is very compli-
mentary to Mr.. Manget, and shows

KILLED ON HIS WEDDING DAY.

On December 22nd Julius Nelson was
a passenger on an A. K. x n. train, in
charge of Conductor Wade Dobbs.
Nelson was drinking and boisterous.
and fired his pistol from the rear of the
coach. Conductor Dobbs took the pis-
tol from him and put HIM under arrest.
He jumped from the moving train after
Dobbs had warned him not to do so. and
received injuries from which he died
some days later. His people swore out
a warrant for Conductor Dobbs, charg-
ing him with murder. Dobbs' attor-
neys took out writ of habeas corpus
and carried him before Judge Parks, at
Cleveland, where he had his trial. The
trial showed that Conductor Dobbs was
in no way to blame, and his further
prosecution enjoined. The young man
was on his way to Wetmore to be mar
ried, and had his license in his pocket

The spreading of the railroad track
on the w. & A. Il. r., near Blackwells,
on last Monday morning, derailed a
freight train, turning six box cars over,
wrecking them badly. The track was
torn up probably one hundred and fifty
yards by the accident. The telegraph
wire was torn down, and Mr.. ID. f. Me-

went up and made the connection so
communication could be opened up.
The trains were delayed nearly all day
before the track was cleared and re-
built. No one was hurt, fortunately

RECKLESS SHOOTING.

The promiscuous shooting in the outer
edge of town at night is becoming
somewhat dangerous. Some one I'M
known shot rifle ball into MIR. James
Z. McNamara's residence on Kenne-
saw avenue the other night. The ball
passed through and splintered the front
window blinds, broke large window
glass and passed through the shade and
dropped on the floor The ball was on
the carpet, very large one, showing
that it had been fired from Winches-
ter rifle. Human life is in danger when
guns and pistols with such reckless
criminality are discharged. Mr.. Nc
Namara, wife and two children were in
the house at the time
