EX-GOV. ALTGELD DEAD.

Joliet, ILL.,, Mch. 12.-Ex- Governor
John P. Altgeld died at seven O'Clock
this morning.
Gov Altgeld addressed a pro- Boer
meeting at the opera house in Joliet
last night. He began with his accus-
toned vigor but toward the close
weak Those near him noticed
that he leaned repeatedly ON the table.
Rousing himself for his peroration
he stepped to the front of the plat
form and in loud ringing tones de-
nonnced the policy of England in the
Transvaal. Reaching the closing sem
tence he began to stammer, but final
ly concluded. Turning he fell in a
faint with both legs paralzyed. He
soon revived from the faint but spasms
and nausea followed He was remov-
ed to hotel and soon became semi
conscious. He rallied before his final
collapse al d died peacefully.

A MISTAKEN NOTION.

Few of us "know it all" but expe-
rience helps out and to experience it is
sometimes possible to add bit of
common sense in the matter of man.
agement. I used to think I knew a
great deal about feeding hens to get
the greatest amount of eggs from
them and in truth, had some basis
for such self-assuranec, for my small
flock of fowls laid splendidly and the
egg basket was always in a very
healthy condition. Those fowls were
Leghorns and l have now discovered
that the same kind of feed and care
that will give good results with Leg
horns cannot be counted ON to give
equally good results with Plymouth
Rocks and Brahmas-and this brings
me back to my subject l am coming
to believe that the prevalent practice
of feeding morning mash and whole
grain at night is radically wrong.
l find that with Brahmas, for in
stance, a sprinkling of cracked corn in
the litter after the fowls have gone
to roost brings them down in the
morning all ready for vigorous
scratching, and this scratching only
adds keenness to the appetite, and
causes more vigorous scratching for
the further handfuls of grain that
throw into the litter on my first visit
to the poultry quarters in the morn
ng Have lots of litter and throw
in only so much grain as will keep
the fowls contented with their scratch
ing Again a little more grain is
given in the litter at noon, and the
hens are thus kept busy all day long
At night feed all the fowls will eat,
using cut clover or clover meal large
ly with the soft food, stirring in a
little meat meal to balance the ration
properly, In this way the fowls are
kept on the edge of being hungry all
day long and are therefore induced to
scratch And it is only the scratch
ing hen, find, that lays.
Now feed mash in the morning,
even stinting the hens little, and

SUGAR BEET MACHINERY.

An implement has recently been
used that claims to thin beets with
regularity and gives general satisfac

and bury a portion of the beets, and
leave untouched those situated at

The combination is such that the

A cultivator for beets of new de-

rods, ON which are arranged knives
attached to a movable parellogram.
By this combination all the weeds ON
both sides of the plantlets are cut or
torn from the ground. The axis
around which revolve the rods may
have variable length. To guide two

much exhausted clay, before plough

the remaining half was topdressed
with the spreader, using only one
half the amount of the same quality
of manure. This was seeded, crossing
the plots with wheat, rye, and winter
spinach. The difference was so de-
cisively marked in favor of the top
dressed plot several visitors asked
why we had not fortified the other
half. indicating the part having the
manure ploughed under The wheat
and rye ON the top dressed plots had
from the start a healthy, dark green
color going into winter i'm a robust,

with the adjoining plots making a

The spreader so thoroughly tears apart

men, working alone, with two horses,
spread thirty-two loads of stable man

other man record. Manure hauling
time often comes at a busy season.
With the convenience of the spreader,
odd time can be advantageously util-
lied in keeping the manure pile con-
stantly cleaned up the year arond;
while some farmers having spreaders
place the machine near the manure
door or dump, throwing manure from
stables directly into the spreader, and

A short time ago we published an article
recommending to our readers the new dis
covery for the cure OF Dyspepsia, called
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, ard the claims
then made regarding the wonderful curative
properties Of the remedy have been abund-
antly sustained by the facts. People who
were cautious about trying new remedies
Advertised in the newspapers and we're
finally induced to give Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets a trial we're surprised and delighted
at the results. In many cases a single
package costing but so cents at any drug
store made a complete cure, and in every
instance the most beneficial results we're
reported. From a hundred or more re-
ceived we have space to publish only a few
OF the latest, but assure our readers we
receive so many commendatory letters that
we shall publish each week a fresh list of
genuine, unsolicited testimonials and never
publish the same one twice.

The case of J. H. Rohrs against the
Western Travellers Accident association
was on trial in Judge Estelle's court yes
terday. Rohrs brought suit against the
association to recover SIS for indemnity for
three weeks disability due to accidental
injuries. The association contended that
Rohrs was not entitled to this benent for
the reason that when he received the in
jury his certificate Of membership was in
suspension for failure to pay the assess
ments levied against him. The case was
appealed to the district court by Rohrs,
he having been defeated in the justice
court. Judge Estelle ordered the jury to
bring in a verdict for the association hold
ing that a member in suspension for fall
ure to pay assessments is not entitled to
benefits for accidents which occur after his
suspension and before his reinstatement
The amount involved was small and the
association contested as a matter of prin-
ciple and the members and officers OF the
association are much pleased at the out
come of the case.
