H CROWD GATHERED
Hours Before the Escort Ar~rived-Not
a Curiosity Drawn AssembIage.

Hours Before the Escort Arrived-Not
a Curiosity Drawn AssembIage.
A dense throng had gathered around
the Harrison home on Delaware street
for hours before the parade arrived.
Down Delaware street, much farther
than the eye could each, the crowd
packed the sidewalks to the doors of
the residences along each side of the
way. For thirteen squares, all the
distance to Washington street, tens of
thousands of people stood for hours,
not from idle curiosity or the desire to
view an unprecedented spectacle, but
from the simple wish to express by
their presence the respect and admir-
alton in which Gen. Harrison was held
by his fellow citizens of indianapolis.
Two hours before the police detail
and the military at the head of the
funeral procession from the Capitol be-
gan to appear around the corner of
Thirteenth street from Pennsylvania
avenue, the crowd began assembling.
Fol the most part it was
Made Up of Women and Children,
although a considerable proportion
consisted of men; men in the lower
walks of life who had stopped work
for the day or long enough to show
respect by standing with uncovered
heads while the body of the honored
dead man passed on its way to the
State House.
By II O'Clock part of the second d.
vision of the funeral procession had
formed near the corner of Thirteenth
and Delaware streets. Gen. Carnahan,

Shortly before the undertaken COM

with little Elizabeth. both attired in
deep mourning, came in the apartment
to view the face of their husband and
father. Mrs. Harrison was composed,
but showed plainly the traces of her
deep sorrow. She remained only a few
minutes and then retired to her apart
ment. After she had left the room and
just before the casket was taken away,
Russell B. Harrison and his wife, with
Mr.. and Mrs. Mckee, entered the room
and looked again at the face Of the
dead.
Early in the Morning
Mrs. Harrison entered the room where
her husband lay, to be alone with him
for probably the last time. As she
stood in the darkened chamber, the door
OF the room opened noiselessly and an

st. Mary's scored distinct success in
Mr. Won Grabill's concert recital last
night. His execution of the difficult
works which he undertook to play leave
nothing to be desired, and his touch and
expression gave great charm to the tune
full music. Mr.. Won Grabi1l runs the risk
of being misunderstood in his interpre-
tation of some Of his selections, inasmuch
as he plays in many instances from manu-
script, which differ from the usual print
ed copies, and those who have played or
heard these items of the program may
think that the differences in the reading
are mistakes on Mr.. Won Grablls part.
AS pupil Of Rubinstein and pupil and
personal friend of De Kontship who was
pupil of Beethoven's, Mr. Won Grabill
has obtained the possession of these
original readings. This novelty gives an
additional charm to his playing.

who thoroughly prepare their lands are
making fine crops and money. This rul.
will apply to Southern agriculture as wei
as to the Northwest.
The natural hay fields or native prairie
grass is cut once year, the yield beine
from one to two tons per acre. When
cured and raked it is stacked into large
piles containing from eight to ten tons to
the stack l saw thousands and thousands
Of these stacks on my journey through
the different States of the Northwest.
Usually this hay sells for 81 per ton in
the stack, or SO per ton delivered at the
railroad This season, however, owing to
the shortness of the corn crop. in
some of the States, hay has advanced TO
Sc and 81 per ton, delivered. A consider
able amount of the prairie lands in the
Dakotds have been bought by Eastern
capitalists. The owners have the hay cut
each year and derive handsome progt
from it's sale, as no cultivation is re-
quired.
FIRST YEARS CULTIVATION.
The first year prairie land is broken the
sod is turned only to a depth of two
inches. II turned five or six inches the
land will not produce anything for three
or four years. Nothing will grow on<the
land lightly turned the first year except
a crop Of flax. After turning the sod, the
fax seed are sown and scratched in with
an iron tooth harrow. A fairly good crop
of fax will be harvested, which VIII sell
for enough to pay expenses. A good crop
of fax will rrield about IS bushels OF seed
per acre, and present prices are SLIGO per
bushel The flax seed are largely used in
the manufacture of linseed oil and meal.
The latter is fine feed for cattle.
There is no waste land in the North
west. 1t is all nicely fenced in square
fields, and the methods of up-to date Gull
ture make the inspection of farm most
interesting. What we need in the South
is the introduction of more improved
farming machinery, so as not only to re-
duce the cost of labor, but to put our
lands in better shape for making larger
yields per acre. We need more fall break
ing and less spring scratching. We should
diversity more, raise wheat, corn, oats,
barley and grasses, and reduce the pro-
duction of cotton to a strictly money crop,
the sale of which will go to the owner
in the nature of a profit on his bust
