interest by those interested in peach
culture in Georgia:
In view of the great and growing
importance Of the peach crop of this
state and at the request of those in
terested in the matter, we have, in the
intervals of official work. made and
just completed an analysis, giving the
more important constituents of the
peach. and especially a full and COM
plete analysis of the ash or mineral
matter.
Through the courtesy and interest
in the matter of State Entomologist
Scott, l received a crate of fine Ell
bertas. and we at once commenced the
analysis. The sugar and the nitrogen,
being the important and interesting or
ganic constituents, were at once de-
termined in the fresh fruit with the
following results:

Then came the slow process of as
pertaining the nature and amount OF
the mineral elements contained in the
peach. We took 1 kilogram (about PA
poUnds) of the peaches and dried them
slowly at a gentle heat; as they be-
came dry they were transferred to a
large platinum dish and charred slow
ly al a somewhat higher temperature,
the process of incarceration or reduction
to a pure white ash consuming several
days and nights. 1t is necessary to
be especially careful in this part of
the work to avoid a temperature above
all redness, else certain parts of the
ash might be lost When the incln-
GRAFTON was finished, and the last bit
of carbon burnt off. the pure ash re-
naming amounted to 4.49 per cent. of
the weight of the peaches used, or just
about enough to analyze without vast
ing any.
The analysis of pure peach ash was
as follows.

Macninist at Perry Meets With Strange
and Fatal Accident.
Special to Times-R Republican
Perry, April 3.-John Lessel, the pio-
neer machinist of the Milwaukee shops
at this place, met with terrible acct
dent while on duty at the shops yester-
day morning A lid on the new sand
reservoir, recently put in, blew off, and
striking Mr.. Lessel in the face, COM
pletely mashed it beyond recognition.
He was taken to his home on North
Fourth street. where he remained I'M
conscious all day and died at o. do p. m.
A new apparatus for drying and
handling the sand for engines has just
been put in at the shops. A large steel
reservoir is sunken into the ground, and
a man-hole at the top admits the sand,
which, after being thoroughly dried, is
forced by heavy pressure of air into
the sand towers outside the building.
Mr.. Lessel made his usual tour of in
spection yesterday morning and found
that the air guage in the sand reservoir
did not show any pressure, tho the air
pump worked. He investigated further
and discovered that there was small
leak at the man hole of the reservoir.
This he and L. E. Capen, an employee of
the shops, began to repair. Presently
Mr. Capen walked to the end of the
boiler to shovel in some coal, leaving
Mr.. Lessel at work upon the man hole.
He sec med to be Tightening the bolts
and at the same time tapping around
the edge with his hammer. Without
moments warning there was a terrific
explosion and when Mr.. Capen looked
in that direction he could see nothing
but dense cloud of sand. He made his
way as quickly as possibly to the scene
and found Mr.. Lessel thrown back in
to corner, lying in a pool of blood and
presenting an awful sight. He sum-
moned help and the poor man was
picked up and cared for as best they
could under the circumstances.

Special to Times Republican.
Clarinda, April 3.-David Wilkey has
brought suit against DR.. T. N. Wilson
for $2,5o5 damages. The reasons for

muscle on his own part jerk and
wrench plaintiffs little finger in such a
manner that the skin, muscles. liga-
,nents and tendons that held the the
same in it's drawn condition were torn
loose from their holdings" with the re-
suit that it laid bare and exposed to
view the bone and lower joint of the
little finger in such a manner as to
cause the joint water to escape there
from" also that said jerk was done
instantly and without warning to
plaintiff and that he was unable in
any manner to avoid said injury"

follows: for bodily suffering and pain,
$1,000; for mental suffering, $1,000;

Orange City, Ia April 3.-The Reyn-
olds trial opened yesterday in the dis
trict court. Judge Oliver ordered
special venire of forty talesmen on adj
diticn to the thirtysix of the regular
panel. 1t is thought the entire panel
will be exhausted. AT least a day and
half will be taken up in securing
jury The fact that some of the local
papers of the county and parties inter-
ested in the prosecution have persisted
in advertising the evidence of the state
will make it difficult to find twelve men
who have not heard of the case and
are mere. The general opinion is that
the case of the state is weakening and
that the innocence of the defendant
will be established. Reynolds has stood
his confinement well and is confident
of his acquittal The fact of his secur-
ing bonds and obtaining his liberty was
a body blow to the prosecution. Mrs.
Crofton, the wife of the murdered col
ored man. is here and will attend the
trial.
On the second day of August last, w.
f. Reynolds. a travelling agent selling
pianos and organs, appeared In Ha-
warden, and about the same time Sam
uel Crofton, blind negro preacher,
came to Hawarden. The blind preach
err was seen to leave with Reynolds
soon after noon on the same date, In
the direction of Ireton. Reynolds re-
turned to Hawarden alone about sup
per time and nothing was ever seen of
the colored preacher again until his
dead body was found in cornf1eld near
Ireton on October 81. The body was
identified by cards and certificates
found on his person or in the vicinity of
the body.
1t was soon discovered that Reynolds
was the man who was seen to leave
Hawarden with the murdered man and
he was traced to Sioux Falls, where he
resided with his family. Circumstances
pointing very strongly to his guilt, he
was arrested by the police of that city
in the latter part of November ana
was brought to Ireton, where prelim-
mary hearing was held before Justice
Black who, after hearing the evidence
of the state, bound the defendant over
to the district court without bail. A
habeas corpus application was at once
made to Judge Wakefield, and he adj
mitted the defendant to bail in the
amount of $4,000. An indictment was
found by the grand jury at the regular
February term, since which time Rey-
nolds has been confined in the county
Jail in default of bail, which was fixed
by Judge oliver at $1,000.
The defendant claims to have turned
the blind preacher over to negro and
white man, who were camped with
covered wagon near Ireton, and 1T will
be shown by several reputable wit
nesses that such an outfit was in the
neighborhood of Ireton on the after
noon of Aug. 2.
The defense will also introduce evil
dence to show that it would have been
an absolute impossibility for the de-
PENDANT to have murdered the blind
preacher in the way the state claims.

Rock Springs, Wyo., April "a
courier reached here late last night
from the scene of the fight between the
sheepmen and the cattlemen east of
Big Piney, which occurred last Friday.
He was on the ground Saturday and
states that no one was injured, but
that 1900 sheep were killed and scat
tered, the animals being shot, dubbed
to death and driven over cliff into a
deep and narrow ravine. Three sheep
wagons We're burned, together with the
bedding and camp outfit Of the flock
masters.
The fight occurred between Sand
Springs and East Boulder creek, TWEEN
ty miles east of Big Piney. The sheep
men We're several miles beyond the
dead line and We're encroa ching upon
the reserve of the cattlemen, when a
band of the latter appeared, heavily
armed and mounted.
After firing several shots at the
sheepmen, who returned the fire, the
numbered the sheepmen five to one,
disarmed the herders and tied them
and proceeded to destroy the outfit and
kill the sheep.
The courier refuses to divulge the
names of those implicated in the out
rage, neither will he give the names of
the fiockmasters, but he would not
deny that the latter were John and
Abe Holl. There is considerable ex-

OVERLOOKED THE LAW.
Missouri Valley Saloon Men Out of
Business for a Year.

Missouri Valley, April 3.-One of the
hardest fought battles ever waged in
Iowa for a saloon consent petition was
brought to close yesterday, when
Judge Macy, who is presiding at this
session of the Harrison county district
court, held that the Missouri Valley
consent petition was null and void. The
petition contained the names of 50 per
cent of the voters of this city, as re-
quired by law, but the saloon men
failed to file their appeal bond in ten
days, as specified in the mulct law, and
thereby lost the petition thru an over
sight.
AS but one petition can be circulated
in any one year, this city will probably
be jug town for some time.
