BLOODSHED THREATENED
IN COLORADO.
Serious Conditions Growing Out
of Senatorial Deadlock.

Denver, Col, Jan. 2l.-There were
rumors of war and plenty of warlike
preparations at the state house to
night. Early in the evening the story
gained currency that body Of armed
men had hidden somewhere in the
state house, with the purpose of seiz-
ing the chamber of the house of repre-
sentatives some time during the night,
and holding it in the interest of one
of the senatorial candidates. The
house chamber heretofore has been
guarded by three or four men and
early this morning ladders are said to
have been found in one Of the side
corridors, reaching to window COM
municating with the house gallery.
It is also said that half dozen
unknown men were in the vicinity of
the ladders, who ran when discovered.
This incident gave color to the rumors
of an intended armed attack upon the
chamber tonight. To guard against
such contingency, Sergeant-at-Arms
Plummer placed 80 armed men, under
charge of Sherman Bell, assistant ser
gent-at-arms, who was member Of
Roosevelt's Rough Riders, in the
chamber with instructions to protect
it at all hazards. Shotguns and large
calibre revolvers are very much in evl-
dence, and it is not thought likely
that a capture will be attempted,
even If it we're planned.
The Democratic members of the SEN
ate are still in session, although most
of them went to sleep upon cots early
in the evening. They are protected
by a score of policemen and deputy
sherifs.

pearling everywhere in the Mississippi val
ley is unrestricted at all seasons of the
year and by any persons or methods
The method of fishing for clans has not
changed since the industry began. They
are Tucked to their death. A clam has a
propensity for Selling, on to every foreign
substance that comes within its reach. This
characteristic has been utilized by the pearl
fisher. He rigs up a lot of hooks on a rack
and drags this rack along the sand beds
The clam lies on it's back with the shells
open and facing up the stream. AS the
hooks dangle along the shells, close quickly
over them and hold on for dear life. Hence
the saying, Don't lie a clam When the
rack gets loaded the grasping clam is haul
ed to the surface When a .skiff load of
clans has been obtained the fisherman
makes for the shore, builds a fire and bols
them out. Sometimes they are stored in
BINS on the river bank and the boiling-out
process is left for a time when the weather
conditions are disagreeable for pearling on
the river.
Nearly all of the pearls are snapped I'D

Waste in my business said seaside

my house took in last season something

hotel guests have of ordering things that

PROMOTION FOR MERCER
A Report That He May Be Superin
tendent at Carlisle.

ashington, March 7.-There is a pros
pect that Captain Mercer, who has seen
many years service In connection with the
Indian branch, may be appointed superin-
tendent of the Carlisle school. Captain
Mercer has been on detail to the Indian
service for 80 many years that 1t is be-
lieved he would prefer to remain in the
latter service. He was formerly agent
at the Ashland agency and later of the
White Earth Chippewas, but about year
ago he asked to be permitted to return to
his regiment, and his request was granted
Recently, upon the request of Secretary
Hitchcock, Captain Mercer was listed fol-
an important detail in connection with the
Indian service In Utah. and it is only 3
question whether he can be transferred
from that work at present to take the
Carlisle appointment.

Cut in Window Glass Certain-use

Pittsburg. Pa, March IA sensa tional
move was made by the American Window
Glass company yesterday when the execu-
tive committee issued formal notice to
it's workmen that on March IA all of the
factories of the company will close for
the season.
The moment the factories are closed
large force will be put to work to equip
them with the new glass-blowing ma
chimes, which will do the work of the
skilled laborer and remove from the fac
tory the highest priced skilled labor known
in the country. 1t will give the company
glass production less than one-third OF

All former lists have been withdrawn
by the American company, and 1t is be-
lieved that a cut in rates will be made.

IRRIGATION IN MINNESOTA
Experiments in the Humid Sections
f5E5; 60 SSzs' st 4st3s 49,
Told About in a Govern
ment Book.

Washington, March THE rise in
prices Of agricultural lands in the last
few years has made it necessary that
farmers should get the largest possible
return from their lands, and has created
a general interest in whatever will help
to that end. One OF the aids now being
considered Is irrigation. In the east 1t is
not, as in the west, absolutely necessary
for the raising OF any crops, but, like
fertilizing or thorough cultivation. is q
means Of increasing the returns from
land. The whole question lis whether it
will pay. The report of the Irrigation in
yestigations of the department. Of, agricul-
ture for the year 1901, carried OH under the
direction Of Elwood Mead. gives some val
liable data on this question. The report
covers experiments in Missouri. Wiscon-
| sin and New Jersey :. isse
| A series OF experiments extending over
several years at the Wisconsin expert
ment station at Madison show marked
Increase in Yields of farm crops. NJ The
average increase in the yield Of clover hay
on irrigated land over that from unirri-
gated land has been 25. tons per acre; the
average increase In yield Of corn has been
| 1896 bushels per acre; and potatoes show
7 q gain Of sa.9 bushels per acre. The an
nual cost Of irrigation ct Madison has
been 1888 per acre not including any In
| terest on the investment, but including all
extra labor. AT current; prices this leaves
net QfOQt$ from irrigation, OF ABOUT $2O
per acre on hay, Sill per acre on corn, and
| $73 per acre on potatoes. The conditions
! OF soil and climate at Madison do not differ
| from those of the middle west generally,
and the results given above show that
where, water can be obtained without too
large an outlay irrigation as q part of in
tensive farming is very profitable
Another series of experiments was begun
| for testing the effect of irrigation and
! fertilization on sandy soils, such as are
common In large sections Of Michigan
! Wisconsin and Minnesota. These lands
are poor in plant food, and retain SO little
moisture that all Attempts to farm them
/ have failed. The experiments included
the supplying of both manure and water
| Manure alone was Of little use, as there
was not water enough to make the plan
food available. Water alone produced
good results, but the application of boil
gave the best results. The cost of irriga
ton was 500 per acre, and the net gal,
from irrigation was as follows: Potatoes
melons, $68 per acre; nuskmelons, $45 pc
acre. From these experiments it seem
that with special crops irrigation of tn
sandy lands Is profitable, but the increas
In yield Of corn is not enough to justify tn
expense of securing a water supply.

with the experiments in the humid part
Of the United States, has been printe
and can be had by applying to the directo
