NOW FOR cITY-RRED FARMERS.
Possibilities of Future BY No Means
Remote.

AS the urban population which must
be fed from the farms increases, the
tillers of the soil become fewer in
number and poorer in quality. Those
who remain to care for the crops have
one fault which the city dweller is
quick to notice. The worker somehow
does not put the spirit into his tasks
that the eight-hour-day man in town
exhibits. The city boy grows up in
an atmosphere of hustle. With his
ability to make every moment count
the city-bred man may get out of a
farm UNNECESSARILY more than the av-
erage rural resident Agricultural
schools and a business instinct and
training are not bad substitutes for
farm breeding; and it will not be sur
prising if the next few years witness
an exodus of city-bred workmen, filed
with spirit and speed, to the districts
which produce the original matter for
all the breakfast foods.-R. E. Down
er in Booklover's Magazine.

mended him to Joseph Medill, editor
of the Chicago Tribune.
Mr.. Van Benthuysen Joined the Tri-
bune's staff as reporter on April z,
1888. In Chicago his rise to promi-
nence was rapid. Within year he
became telegraph editor of the Tri-

night editors desk, and within two
years took charge of the paper as
managing editor. In this position he
remained for eight years.
Mr.. Van Benthuysen was called to
New York in March, 1898, to take the
position of editorial manager of the
World, and for five years was a valued
member of the staff, where his services
were highly appreciated and where, by
his never failing kindness, sympathy,
and courtesy, he earned the esteem
and affection of all his associates.

after the marriage. Her eyes were
opened on the bridal tour, when her
husband threw a solid silver powder
box at her because she was too ill to
accompany him on a carriage ride.
Her millionaire husband, she said,
laughed at her because she went to
church and jeered at her because she
would not drink rum and smoke cigar
cites. He declared she was a coward
because she would not quarrel with
him, and frequently threw chinaware
at her until he yawned. Once when
he returned from the circus he made
her stand against the wall while he
threw table knives at her

HERBERT SPENCER NEAR DEATH

CONDITION OF Great Philosopher is
Causing His Friends Alarm.
Herbert Spencer, the foremost of
living philosophers, founder of the
Synthetic Philosophy and perhaps
the greatest of intellectual English
men, is quite ill at his home in Brigh-
ton, and is believed his death is near.
Mr.. Spencer for some weeks past has
been disclosing unusual symptoms of
weakness, and, although his mind
seemed to be perfectly clear until a
few days ago, his present attack is
alarmingly like general breaking
down of his mental and physical
strength.
Mr.. Spencer was born at Derby in
1920, and has been active in the intel
1ectual life of the world since he was
81 years old. He has worked upon
his great system of philosophy for up
ward of forty-three years, although in
1896, with the publication of the last
volume of his Principles of Sociol-
ogy," that immense undertaking was
supposed to have been completed. Mr.

Ia BLANCA AGRICULTURAL

We note with much satisfaction
that the La Blanca Agricultural
Company will begin Immediately to
install its extensive irrigating
plant. The machinery is now in
Brownsville, and Mr.. 7. J. Hooks,
the Company's enterprising presi-
dent, has tea6is already on the road
to haul it up. The site of the plant
is to De near the old Weber place,
about nine miles below town, on
the river.
This company is clearing and
opening up land daily for cultiva-
ton, and will, at an early date, be
in position to rent she small farmer
any number of acres he may care
to cultivate, and irrigate it for him.
The company is to be congratu-
lated IN having a man OF MI
Hooks energy, vim and enterprise
at the helm. With few more men
like Nessrs. Hooks and Closner in
the country, we would soon hear
the whistle of the locomotive. It's a
pity that some of the hold-back
land owners are also to reap great
benefit from the general wave OF
prosperity brought on by the few
hustlers.-Hidalgo Advance.

After Which They Remain in State of
Siege, Protected by Battalion of
PoIice-Current Rumor That Han

Is Denied.

Chicago, March 3.-In spite ofJudge
Hanecy's injunction in the Lorimer-
DurborroW contest, and in the face Of
threats Of contempt proceedings, the
election commissioners yesterday
opened and counted the ballots cast
in one precinct OF the sixth congress
sional district, in the election of last
November. Their action constituted,
in the opinion Judge Carter, by whose
advice the injunction was violated, a
technical VindicatiOn of the election
law. The count finished, the election.
commissioners remained in a state Oh
siege throughout the remainder OF the
day, with the police massed inside and
outside of the board rooms, awaiting
an expected attack by the Lorimer
forces.
Late in the day rumOrs gained cur
rency that Judge Hanecy had issued
a writ impOunding the ballots and or
dering the vault in which they were
locked seized by force of deputies,
which was said to be awaiting his Or
ders. The rumOr created intense ex-
element throughout the city hall and
caused Chief of Police O'Neill to mass
several hundred policemen on the
stairs and in the halls leading to the
board room. No person was allowed
to pass in or out of tie rooms. While
these preparations were being madt
in the city hall, Hanecy proceeded
with the hearing of his calendar in an
adjoining building. He denied having
issued the writ in question, but de-
clined to say what he intended doing
