Pointers for Farmers.

Pioneer Press-Hon. c.. d. Gill
fllan OF Gillian Siding, who owns
onep of the largest stock farms in
Minnesota and who semi annually
ships corn fed beef to the Eastern
markets, presented a paper OH
pastures and grasses before the
last meeting Of the Redwood
County Dairy association. The
paper gave Mr.. Gil6llan's exper-
fence with the different grasses,
and particularly the new grass,
bsonlus inermis, which he was first
to introduce in this state. and
which experiment has resulted with
such signal success that it is being.
put into pasture as fast dairymen
can afford to purchase the seed.
MI. Gilillan said:
after the lassage Of a certain
period in a rev country, when
land becomes partially exhausted
Of its fertility and the necessity Of
doing something to build up the
soil is apparent, the most import
ant question for the farmer is
shat Of pasture. All land that is
to wet in someseasons to cultivate,
should be put into par1nent past
ire. IL it can not be plowel it
may be seeded OIL the turf as soon
as the wild grass shows signs Of
dying out in spots. My plan has
been to SOW upon the spots SHOW
ing decay a mixture Of timothy
and blue grass, half and half
by weight at the rate of about ten
pounds per acre. The latter does
not make mach of a show for
about three years, while the for
mer will furnish a good deal Of
feed the second year.
There is another kind OF grass
little known in this section, i. e.,
broaius inermis. Some three
! years~since Prof. Hayes Of the ex-
pertinent station sent me a few
pounds Of seed, which I sowed in
two places. II caught well and
furnished feed ten days earlier in
the spring than timothy, and cold
weather in the fall does not appear
TO effect it. This frightening the
annual period Of pasturage is Of
inestimable value to the farmer.
Stock eat this grass with avidity,
p~erfering it to timothy. It also
makes good hay. 1t is claimed
for it That it will furnish a good
dealo of feed upon grayeliy knobs
and poor soil.
"Throughout the northern part
of the United States it is spoken
highly Of, and one of the bSst signs
of its value is the highprice Of
the seed, which costs as much to-
day as when first introduced. The
cost Of the ssseed is about So per
acre, which prohibits its use to
any considerable extent. I would
advise buying it in a moderate
quantity. I have this year sown
four acres of it, SO far as it goes
to extend the pasturage upon my
farms. It can be sowed for seed,
cutting it up when ripe and
threshirgit out on the barn floor
Or granary floor. In this way it
can be brought into general USE"

WASHINGTON SENSATIONS.
One of Them Involves DR.. Bass, a
south Carolina Preacher.


Washington, May 1S-During the past
few days Washington has produced a
large crop of sensational occurrences
which. combined, make a startling chap
ter in criminal history. The crimes COM
mitted varied from a mysterious hotel
murder of young man supposed to have
lost his life at the hands of jealous wo-
man to a even-thousand- dollar diamond
robbery, from a wealthy widow-"both
grass ard Sod" as George Ade would ex-
press it-who met the man charged with
the theft through a personal advertise
ment in New York paper, and finally
former minister of the gospel from
South Carolina was convicted of using
the mails for fraudulent purposes. These
three sensations have divided public at
tention here and Ia out-of-town papers
with the sad intelligence which has come
from the Pacific Coast regarding the ill
ness of Mrs. Mckinley
The minister who has been convicted OF
fraudulent use of the mails is Rev. Liston
ID. Bass, u. D., a native of South Co o.
lima, who for two years has been a resi-
dent OF this city and held high position
in the Baptist Church. DR.. Bass was edu-
Gated at Patrick Military Academy, Fur
man University, the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary and ,he University
of Chicago. The degree OF d. d. he re-
ceiVed from the University of Alabama.
During the Cleveland administration he
was strongly urged for the post Of consul
general to Berlin, Germany. He was in
dorsed for that position by former Vice
President Adlai +. Stevenson, Gen. M. c.
Butler. Senator McLaurin. Gen. Joe
Wheeler Representatives Stallings, Bank
head and all OF the congressional dele
cation from Alabama During the past few
years he has been devoting his entire
time TO literary work and the conduct Of
the teachers agency. and the Bureau Of
Civil Service Instruction. 1t was in con-
nection with these two enterprises that
complaint was lodged against him by
persons who sent money through the
mails TO have their names enrolled as ap-
plicants The allegations OF fraud were
made through the Inspectors Division
of the Postofiice Department and he was
indicted. tried and convicted Of defraud-
ing his correspondents by obtaining money
from them by holding out false prospects
OF obtaining positions In the public SER
vice.
After his conviction here Or. Bass re-
turned 10 Virginia. where his family now
lives, and publicly referred TO the case
From his pulpit he explained the sltua-
ton 20 his congregation, and declared he
felt bound in duty to himself and 10 his
congregation. 10 resign his position while
the cloud Of doubt hung over his head
His designations were considered, but
both congregations refused TO accept. I'M
der this arrangement, he is still pastor
of both churches though he has declined
10 ascend either pulpit pending the final
outcome of his case.

New York, May 1s.-The Mail and Elk
press to-day has the following on the
Western railroad situation:
THE controversy over Northern Pacific
and resultant conferences between the
leading financiers in Wall street have
caused many changes in plans for bring
ing together the Western railroads. The
balance of power has been radically re-
adjusted. and some of the powers of the
financial world. notably John D. Rookie
feller and William X. Vanderbilt,
have concluded to put things in such
shape that there is not likely to be any
serious friction between rival railroads.
"The Union Pacific is the pivotal sys-
diverge. Messrs. Rockefeller ana Wander
bilt are the controlling factors in this
property and through the large holdings
of Northern Pacific stock acquired by the
Hartman syndicate for Union Pacific
they will control the policy also OF the
Northern Pacific and indirectly the Bur-

LAWSON'S YACHT LAUNCHED.

parture in Yacht Building.
Boston, May 1S.-The Independence was
launched at 11;051a O'clock tonight. She
took the water splendidly. There was
quite an illumination and great cheering.
1t was raining hard.
Daring in design and novel in construc-
tion. the independence may be character
lied as an epoch-making vessel. If she
proves fast she may alter the style of
modern racing machines and mark a new
departure in yacht construction.
The independence is fiat as dory Her
bilge comes up with hard, business-like
turn that compels admiration In smooth
weather she has probably fifteen tons less
of lead to lug along in her fin, from all
that appears on paper. than the Consti-
tuition. Then. in rough weather as she
heels, her length on the water line in
creases by at least ten feet, giving her
a greater immersed surface than the Con-
stitution. The buIb-fn-keel is so shaped
that is must clave the water cleany. Out
side of this there is but little to stop'her.
The midship section gives a shape that is
easy to propel at any angle of keel. The
further she lays over to a commanding ng
breeze the greater lateral resistance she
offers. Thus. theoretically, she ought to
go to windward like regular sea witch,
having, with her deep and cleverly mod
elled fin, a splendid grip on the water.
When close hauled she cannot slide off
to leeward. With the wind abeam or on
the quarter she should attain phenomenal
swiftness. Theoretically she is a flyer,
although practically, she is an unknown
quantity.

for a New Treaty - Washington
Says the Papers Consist Mainly of
Memorandum in Which MIR. Hay
Indicates the Lines Necessary in
Order to Meet Views of Senator's.
1t Seems Thar the British officials
Are to Draw the Treaty.
London, May 1S.-The draft of Secreta-
ry Hays proposals for a new Nicaragua
treaty were received from Lord Paunce-
fote by the last mail. 1t is a voluminous
document and is being printed previous to
examination and discussion. 1t is describ-
ed as redraft of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, with what appears, from casual
perusal, to be extensive annotations. Sew
eral weeks are likely to elapse before the
cabinet can commence it's preliminary dis
cussions.
Tn dispatches relative to the possibility
of the substitution of the Panama 18TH
mian route are read with interest in
Downing street.
The Associated Press learns that agents
of the Panama company have not ap-
preached the British government, but that
if the United States should think ii ad-
visable to complete the Panama canal the
decision would be hailed with no little
satisfaction at the foreign office as being
an easy way out of the present contro-
versy. However, the British officials are
without any. accurate knowledge of the
terms offered by the Panama people and
they incline to the belief that financial
and other difficulties will probably pre-
vent the United States from adopting this
solution of the affair.
