Last night about 8 o'clock Mrs.
Parshall. while sitting in her home
on Second avenue. heard a muliled
thud at the rear of the house. seem
ing to her like a large bottle bursting.
She did not discover the cause until
this morning. when she found a rent
in the wall paper above the bed, and
accused her little boy OF tearing it
away. He denied the charge, and on
further investigation. she found that
large bullet had passed through
both sides OF an oil can hanging on
her back porch, penetrated the wall
of the house. pierced hat box which
was standing on the dresser, and en-
tered the wall on the opposite side of
the room scarcely more than a foot
above the bed Her son. Wesley, had
retired early. and was in the bed
asleep at the time of the shot. Had IL
been little lower. or had anyone
been sitting or standing in the room.

been killed or injured. A young man

men. evidently the worse for whiskey,

lot opposite the hotel. They would
strike each other and then appear to
come to peaceful terms again. This
happened several times, and did not
seem TO attract any attention from
passersby. The time was about 9
O'Clock Then suddenly the report of
gun was heard, II was very heavy
and sounded like a musket shot. The
young man couldn't tell whether it
was fred by one of the parties engag-
ed in the quarrel or by someone else,
but 1t was very near the hotel. After
the shot the men linked arms in n
friendly manner and walked up Sew
enth street towards Second avenue.
From the way the bullet entered Mrs.
Parshall's house it came from the
direction Of that vacant lot in front
of the Strater, and was evidently the
same shot Mrs. Parshall heard mems
voices outside of the house on Sec
ond avenue shortly after. 1t was a
very dangerous proceeding. and if the
person who pulled the trigger meant
to do no harm by the act. he came
very near producing unexpected re
suits.

every oil expert and other men who
know the indications, predict that the
well in Durango Will yet put out larger
quantities of oil than any other in
the state The great drawback to the
work has been the unfortunate loss

The amount of grain to sow per
acre is a question of considerable inn
portance, since the saving of half a
peck per acre is SIS to $40 on every
16O acres of wheat sown. 1t is not
well to skimp the seed, but too much
is as bad as too little; not only is it
a waste of seed, but the plants will
be too crowded to develop in the
highest degree. The right amount of
seed, then, is the question, and yet to
say what will apply in every case is
not possible. BY using averages, the
proper amount under average condi-
tions may be stated, but what would
be too little in dry summer would
be too much in a wet one. The i'm
plement used in sowing also has an
influence on tie amount of seed to
SOW. 1t is GENERALLY conceded that it
is good practice to SOW peck less of
seed with a drill than with the broad
cast seeder.-Midland Farmer.

Farm Lnnds in the West.

Whatever may be said of low
prices of farm lands east of the Al
leghenies, there is no doubt that
farms of the central valleys, from the
eastern to the western mountains,
are advancing rapidly, and are in de-
mand at greatly increased prices.
Plenty of land in Illinois has reached
the 500 mark, and farms of the Mis-
souri, valley, from Kansas to Mime
sofa, are steadily increasing in value.
AS western competition becomes
more intense, western farmers and
the congressman who represent them
demand expensive irrigation and
more free farms, while eastern farm
ers have failed to ask for government
supplies of free fertilizers; and east
ern gardeners have made no demand
for appropriations for plant houses
and other aids to production.-Coun
try Gentleman.

ROADS IN GERMANY.
How They Are Kept in Repair With

In Germany is a fine art. Few, how

art as well. ] wish devotedly that local
societies could be former in order to
study it, and apply the results of the
study to country roads in America.
/ spoke once on the subject to an audi

pertinent in, having all the three chief
things for success. ! mean stones

namely, find that it pays to encourage
peasants to free their fields of stones;
the property rises in Withdrawing
value. The stones thrown into heaps
by the roadside are purchased by the
district road-repairing commission.
Poor men, who otherwise would have
to be supported in almshouses, are
hired to break these stones, and then
are trained to the work of repairing
the roadbeds. The money to pay the
men is made by auctioning off to
the highest bidder the crops of the
fruit trees that were planted on both
sides of the highway when it was built,
and which are nourished well by the
manure that falls along the road and
is pushed at intervals by road tender
upon their roots. The purchaser of
the crop sees to it that his fruit is not
stolen. The road commissioners have
no bother about that. And although
the sale is by auction, it brings in con-
siderable. Every burgher knows how
much, because the sales of highway
fruit crops are published in the local
papers.-Countess Won Krockow,

IT HAT fact is often stranger than
fiction and the mystery in real
life sometimes too deep for even
the keenest detective of the country
to find a solution thereof is strikingly
illustrated by the Ely-Rogers case, of
Evanston, Ill. Since the disappear
ance of Frank Ely Rogers, boy of
II years, from his home last July ac-
companied by his aunt, Miss Florence
Ely, the police and detectives of Chi
cago and the country have been un-
tiring in their efforts to trace the
couple and return them safely home
to the sorrowing parents of the boy
and the aged mother of Miss Ely. Every
clew has been followed up and every
means employed which might possibly
furnish a solution of the mystery or
induce the infatuated aunt and her
young nephew to return to the home
where only loving welcome awaits
them.
Miss Ely, up to last July, had been a
music teacher IN Evanston. She is a
handsome gentlewoman of more than
usual intelligence, with large, express
i've dark eyes, dark brown hair and
slender form and a delicate physique.
She is 40 years old, and for 20 years
has made her home with her sister,
the wife of Mr. James c. Rogers, as did
her mother, who is heartbroken over
the peculiar conduct of her daughter.
The family lives on Hinman avenue,
one of the beautiful residence streets
of Evanston, only a short distance
from the campus of the Northwestern
university. Mr.. Rogers is connected
with the mercantile firm of Carson,
Pirie, Scott & Co., in Chicago, and is
a man of ability and some means.
Fourteen years ago, when Frank was
born, Miss Ely idolized the baby, and
was as devoted to him as if she had
been his mother. 1t was her supreme
delight to care for and amuse him, and
as he grew into boyhood her affection
grew to be an infatuation which led
her to forsake all her social duties
and devote her entire time to her
nephew.
On the morning on which they disap-
peared (July 13) it is known that Frank
left home ostensibly to attend picnic
in the woods near the town, but that he
walked by circuitous route to the
station of the Chicago & Northwestern
railroad. There he met his aunt, Miss
Ely, who had left satchel with the
station agent the day before. This
she secured and placed therein the
contents of a box she carried, and
then threw the box away.
Frank" she called to the boy.
The boy turned quickly, took the
Batchel from his aunt's hand, and the
