NATURAL GAS.
Paying Quantities Mny Be
Found by Boring.

Boone people are somewhat excited
owe the discovery of natural gas.
About two years ago a farmer named
Pitcher, living about three miles north
west of the city, struck a flow of gas
which he piped into his home and has
since used it for light and fuel. En-
gineer John Boysell, of Boone, noticed
a large number of bubbles rising in the
water in his we'll, and upon testing it
found it to be gas which burns freely.
Engineer Hughes, who lives about two
blocks from the Boysell property, find
ing the water in his well getting low,
took up a board in the platform and
on looking down saw bubbles rising
in the water. He lit a piece of waste
and threw it into the we'll, when a ter
rible explosion occurred. The pump
and platform were blown eight or ten
feet away. Mr.. Hughes was thrown 25
feet into the air and his arm, hands
and face badly burned. The bricks in
the we'll were thrown all over the lot
and the planks reduced to splinters.
1t is thought that gas in paying quanti-
ties may be found by boring.

CRIME TO TREAT.
Council ut Grfnnell Says the Practice
Encourages Drunkenness and
Must BE Stopped.

The Grinnell city council has adopt
ed an ordinance which makes it a crime
for two or more persons to congre-
gate and buy each other drinks. 1t is
held that treating" promotes dr. unk-
enness The exact verbiage of the or
dinance is as follows:
THAT it shall be unlawful for two or
more persons to congregate within the
limits of the city of Grinnell, on any street
or vacant or unoccupied property, on or
about the college, campus or buildings, in
or about any lumber yard, in any car, or
on or about any barn, stable or corn
crib, s~torehouse, elevator or depot, or in
any other place, for the purpose of drinking
beer or any kline of intoxicating liquor, or
for the purpose of creating a disturbance
Or doing or committing any disorderly
act"
1t is hoped this law will do away
with much of the drinking there. Grin
nell has always been a strong prohi-
bition town, and when Josiah B. Grin
nell founded the place he ~endeavored
to provide in the deeds that no lots
should be sold for saloon purposes.
Iowa college, located there, is also a
powerful factor for temperance, and
the city council is merely actingin line
with public opinion.

FARMER BUNCoED.
Strangers Bargain for His Land. Sc
cure n Sum Of Money and Leave
for Parts Unknown.

1t is reported that a prominent farm
er, j. w. Murphy, living near Newton,
was buncoed out of several hundred
dollars recently by a couple of stran-
gers. The first stranger appeared and
bargained for his farm, paying a small
sun down and promising to return the
next day and make the remainder of
the first payment. In a short time the
second party came and offered a much
larger sum for the property, and bar
gained to take it if the first purchaser
could be bought off. Accordingly,
when the first stranger appeared Mr..
Murphy succeeded in buying him off.
The second stranger never reappeared.
Mr.. Murphy is now out the amount
paid the stranger, less the advance
money paid for the bargain.

In the "butter head" varieties the
San Francisco Market or Deacon has
a great reputation for either the mar
ket or the home garden. Even the YER

with the Deacon variety. The heads
are light green outside, with the inner

Waldorf is one of the seasons novel

leaves crisp and thin.
Tom Thumb and Mignonette are

however, are said to be an improve

The new Iceberg lettuce is dstln-

which is an older name for the type.
The plants are y to 10 inches across
and form large heads of bright light
green. The leaves have large main

Value of Wood Ashes.

A correspondent inquiries in regard to
the value of wood ashes, says an eX-
change. Unleached wood-ashes are val
liable for the potash, phosphoric acid
and lime they contain. Good unleached
wood ashes contain > to G per cent of
potash, , per cent phosphoric acid, to
4 per cent of magne STA, and 30 to 30 per
cent of lime. The potash and phospho-
rio acid is worth about 6 cents per pound,
One hundred pounds of good ashes will
contain about seven pounds of these two
elements of plant food worth 10 to AZ
cents. The lime has some value and on
many soils has very beneficial effect.
Dry wood ashes weigh 10 pounds per
bushel; hence have fertilizng value of
l6 to IS cents. Wood ashes can he used
very profitably at the price given by our
