ROYAL PARKS DEVASTATED.
Terrific Storm Does Damage in Em-
perOr Williams Grounds at POts-
dam and in Wild Park.

Berlin, April 21.-The gale of Sun
day wrought such havoc on the
grounds at Potsdam that full re-
port on the subject has been tele-
graphed to Emperor William. Many
splendid trees dating from the time Of
Frederick the Great. were uprooted.
The imperial wild park was also seri-
ously damaged.
The 36 hours snowstorm over mid
die Europe ceased Monday at daylight.
The snow is two inches deep in Berlin,
increasing to yard deep in the Hartz
Highlands. Snow lies deep in East
Prussia and Poland, where the wires
are down and trains are delayed. The
temperature in most parts of Germany
is barely at freezing point, so that the
damage to the fruit crops may not be
so serious as at first supposed. The
snow is melting rapidly and the
streams are already flooding. The

the case at bar, the decree awards am
Injunction, the ordinary supersedeas
stays proceedings, but does not raise
the injunction.
1.-The main purpose and effect of the
decree are to prevent the Northern
Securities company from controlling
and operating the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railroads, and to ac-
complish this end it enjoins that COM
pany from exercising any control over
their opera ation and from acquiring or
voting any of the stock of the railroad
companies, and it also enjoins the rail-
road companies from paying to the
Northern Securities company any divi-
dends on their stock. This is not an
application to suspend this injunction.
The defendants ask only that the part
of the injunction which forbids the
payment of the dividends be suspend
ed during the pendency of the appeal.
The Dividends.
"These dividends do not belong and
cannot in any event be paid to the
United States. 1t does not claim to
have and it has not any pecuniary in
terest in them. It's purpose in prose-
cutting this suit and it's interest in this
Injunction are only thereby to enforce
the law against illegal combinations
in restraint of trade and toprevent the
Northern Securities company from
controlling, directing, owning, operat-
ing or interfering with the competing
railroads. This interest, it will be
noticed, is protected by that portion
of the injunction which forbids the
management or control of these rail
roads by the Northern Securities COM
pany and forbids it from voting or ac-
quiring any stock of these railroad
companies. This portion of the in
junction, indeed every part of the de-
cree and this Injunction, is in force
and will continue in force during the
pendency of this appeal in any event.
''The appeal in this case will prob
ably be determined by the supreme
court about November, 1908. 1t is not
perceived how the payment or the re-
tention of these dividends during the
pendency of this appeal can injuriously
affect any right of the United States
in this litigation, and the only question
here is whether these dividends shall
be piled up the treasures of the rail
way companies or paid to the stock
holders to whom they legally belong
and who must ultimately receive them
however the final decision in this case
goes"

St. Paul, Mimi, April 21 The appeal
has been perfected and the bond will

Mob Hangs a Negro on a Telegraph

WAS CHARGED WITH KILLING An OFFICER


Joplin, Mo-, April 16.-An infuriated
mob took Tom Gilyard, tramp negro,
from the city Jail Wednesday evening
and hanged him to telegraph pole
two blocks from the Jail. The negro
was charged with having murdere Po-
lice Officer C. Leslie, who was shot dead
Tuesday night in the Kansas City
Southern railroad yards while endeav-
oring to arrest several negroes sus-
pected of theft.
Officer Leslie had ordered several ne
groes who had taken refuge in box
car to surrender, and when they
failed to do so he fired several shots
at the car. During the shooting q ne
gro slipped from the car and, coming
up behind the officer, shot him though
the head. The negro then fed, but was
captured and placed in Jail.

The lynching of the negro served
to only temporarily satisfy the indig-
nation of the mob, and later at night
hundreds of nen again assembled and
rioted through the negro section of the
city, burning houses, stoning negroes,
and finally drove every negro from
the confines of Joplin. The police were
powerless.
A rush was made through Main
street, the principal street of Joplin,
and every negro was frightened off the
street and fled to the north part of the
city, where the colored population re-
sides. In this way the negroes were
driven from all parts of the city to the
negro section. Then the mob charged
down on the section.

The Day of Small Farms.

Except in the far West the tendency
Is toward the small farms, and it is
certainly a step in the right direction.
In the East the majority of farms
are under 100 acres and in many Sec
tons more money is being made from
thirty acres than 100. Particularly is
this the case where farms are located
near cities or large towns. This same
state of affairs will gradually come
about in the West as the population
increases. If one has large numbers
Of cows and horses, SO that there is an
abundance Of fertilizer, and plenty Of
help to handle crops which can be sold
at profit. there is doubtless profit In
the large farm, but where it comes to
the choice between using the fertilizer
for fifty acres, common sense teaches
us that 1t would be best to put the fer
tilizer and labor on the smaller area,
even though the rest of the farm stood
idle. Around some of the great cities
of the country are truckers farms, or,
rather gardens, where the land value
Is high, on which are raised crops of
greater value TO the acre than are
raised on ten acres Of some of the large
farms in the country. These plots are
evidences of what can be done under
the intensive system of farming. which
Is based on the principle of small
area well titled. If one is located near
good markets 1t will certainly pay him
to look into the subject Of concentrate
ing his energies on small area.

Buying Cheap Fertilizers.
Most Of the troubles farmers have
had with commercial fertilizers were
due to the fact that they paid high
prices for articles of little or no value.
To illustrate: The analysis of a certain
fertilizer for which the manufacturer
asked $3.50 per ton was recently sent
to the writer, and, taking the figures
of per cent rs given by the manufac-
turer as basis, and deducting from
them the proper per cent of the three
plant foods, nitrogen, potash and phos-
phoric acid, we found the actual value
Of the fertilizer to be less than $14, bas-
ing our figures on the cost of the three
ingredients named in the open market.
Add to this the cost of mixing and
bagging and the price might run up
to trlfle over $l4, leaving for the
manufacturer and his selling agents II
profit Of over $40 per ton. 1t is true
that the mixture as submitted was
what might be termed low grade fer
tilizer, and 1t is doubtful il the analysis
could be relied upon to figure out the
value mentioned. This is but one eyi.
dence of what farmers have to contend
with In buying cheap fertilizers, and
an argument in favor of buying the
higher grades of commercial fertilizers,
even at the advanced price, as we'll as
most forcible argument in favor of
buying the ingredients needed and do
ing the mixing ut home. AS matter
Of fact we have paid for the valueless
basis of fertilizers too long; and paid
too much for 1t; 1t is time we learned
what to buy and how to buy it to adj
