but has been the disseminator of vast
mass OF information throughout the
country and has led the way in tech
nical instruction. There has been
adopted by the government system
of spreading knowledge among the
rural population which Is said by Mr.,
Bolton King, whe has given considera-
BILE attention to Italian developments,
to be the most practical form of agricul-
tural education known in Europe. The
instructors travel from village TO viii
iage and adapt their teaching not only
to the requirements of each locality,
but also to the adaptability and intel
igence of the population. They com
troll experimental plats and hold them
selves In readiness to give, either by
letter or by personal assistanees ilfor-
nation to those who are seeking such
knowledge. Not only SO, but filey atl-
wise as to the kind of manure which is
smost suited to the farmers require
ments and keep in such close touch
with the syndicates that they may be
regarded to some extent as travelling
advertisements for the federation and
its local branches.

RALPH w. WHEELoCK, for several
years connected with the Minneapolis
Tribune but formerly OF the Mitchell,
s. D. Republican, is we'll known
throughout this state. just now he Is
taking a vacation down in Oberlin,
Ohio, his college town. The Nom
pareil Man of the Minneapolis journal
takes advantage OF his absence to get
of the following story regarding him:
Mr.. Wheelock had cousin, at least
this is the way he tells the story, but
we have our suspicious, who used TO go
with girl in the neighborhood. One
Sunday after they had sat In the parlor
and talked untilthey could not think
OF anything more to say, the scoundrel
declared his intention OF kissing her.
She was apparently very indignant
and declared she would tell her father
il he did. Remembering the old say
ing about faint heart never winning
fair lady, the young man dared, and
succeeded in planting fairly respects
able kiss somewhere behind her ear.
The young woman arose hastily and
walked into the other room, shutting
the door behind her. Papa" she
said, 'fMr. -- wants to see your new
gum "All right All right said
the kindly disposed old man, delighted
with a chance to show off his new
shotgun. Taking it from the rack he
stepped into the parlor. The young
man broke four window panes in get

Feeaing yalne of Rape.

Rape, has high feeding value. It
makes an excellent feed for fattening
sheep and swine and for producing an
abundant flow Of milk in milk cows.
On account of danger of tainting the
milk many people do not feed 1t to the
cows until after milking. Rape can be
used to good advantage as part Of
the ration for animals that are being
fed In pens for market or for the show
ring. 1t is-also valuable food for
young lambs at weaving time. BY be-
ginning as early as practicable in the
spring and seeding at intervals Of two
or three weeks q continuous succession
of rape can be produced throughout
the period when the permanent pas
lures are most likely to be short.

as they did in South Dakota under
Auditor Reeves. II is hard to make
the average tax payer see that a high
valuation and low levy does not mean
higher taxes, any more than a low
valuation with high levy does, An
equitable standard of valuation is the
one absolute essential for equitable
taxation. Supervisor Beals OF Wood
bury county has the correctview OF the
matter when he says In an interview
in the Sioux City Tribune, THE
supervisors have it within their power
to relieve any oppression that might
result, by lowering the tax levies pro-
portionately. II the value of the-coun-
ty property is advanced, we can make
a proportional reduction in the tax
levy, when no one will need to pay
more taxes"

How to Make Number OF Refresh
Ing Beverages.
With the warm, thirsty days we be-
gin to look for something long and wet
to cut out the dust III our throats
Summer drinks are always a perplex-
ing problem. All alcoholic drinks
should be avoided, and to find some
thing to take the place of cold water Is
not always easy. The New York
American publishes the following rec
ipss for making summer drinks:
The following Is easily and quickly
made: Into large glass put the I'M
beaten whites of two eggs, juice Of one
lemon or two oranges, small cup Of
crushed ice and sugar to taste. Put in
tin shaker and shake until light. Serve
In smaller glass.
Another good drink Is made by graf
ing pineapple in saucepan; pour
over enough boiling water to cover II,
let ii steep on back Of stove for five or
six hours, then strain, sweeten to taste.
Half freeze this; nothing better on a
hot day.
| A most refreshing drink is made as
follows: 10 one quart Of iced tea add q
pint of apollinaris water, the Juice Of
three lemons, juice of two oranges,
several slices Of orange, strawberries
and shredded pineapple. Then sweeten
to taste and serve very cold.
A good champagne cider: Put two
teaspoonfuls OF powdered carbonate Of
soda and two ounces of white sugar In
a pitcher and pour over 1t a quart Of
sharp cider. The cider shoHAd be on
ice before using.
A cooling drink which should be used
sparingly Is made by mixing and dis
solving pint of vinegar, two pounds
OF strained honey and three quarts q
| Ice water.
| A drink for sick or well is the yolk oi
an egg, one tablespoonful Of sugar, twt
drops of vanilla, one-half cup Of cold
water Beat and add few pieces
chopped ice; also the white of an egf
beaten to froth.
4 An inexpensive and refreshing drinl
fs made MS follows: Half gallon Of wa

The capital contest seems to be
warming up with the weather. The
Daily Huronite recently intimated that,
while the newspapers of the state are
expected to work In this matter early
and late without compensation.
Mitchell Is raising snug little sum to
promote capital removal in other lines.
The Mitchell Capital thereupon called
upon the Hurontse for its authority and
the latter replied by printing an ex-
tract from an alleged type written
letter from the chairman of . finance
committee having an assessment for
this purpose In hand. The HVro'site
threatens to publish two such letters
la full If the Capita, wishes them. and
the end is not yet.

Farmers, syndfcatea I'm Italy.

The central organization combines
under Its federation something like 300
farmers syndicates, which are scat
tered all over Italy, but especially In
the north. There are, however. a num-
Der OF these syndicates In the south.
They have sprung up to some extent
from local effort. The depression in
agriculture which d few years ago
passed over the whole Of Europe reused
the most enterprising and progressive
farmers to efforts On their own behalf
The main idea with which the syndi-
Gates were established was In the pur-
chasing of fertilizers and appliances.
In order to obtain the best results 1t
was necessary that purchases should
be made upon large scale, and hence
the formation Of the federation, which
acts practically as the buyer for all the
local societies thus combined together.

Clerk of Court Will Take Nothing But
 First Glass Security.

The five trolley prisoners in New Haven jail appear to be bearing their confinement well, excepting Mcclure. He appears to be undergoing a severe strain if his face is an index of his physical condition. Mcclure was practically a stranger in Waterbury.
 Friends of the prisoners are still en- deavoring to find bail for them. Some property owners have presented them selves to Clerk Marsh and were reject ed for various causes. Unless one has $3, 500 equity in real estate without any strings at all attached to it. it is use less to offer bail in these cases. Every detail must be wholly satisfactory to the clerk of the court before bail will jbe accepted.
 Marsh is still at large, but the sher- ifs do not seem worried over this. They know where he is employed and when he, vii Besin town He may be apprehended at any moment.

MARK TWAIN'S FAMILY.

Measles. Nervous Prostration and
 Bronchitis in the Household
 New York, May 23.-Two physicians and trained nurses have been for sev- eral weeks in constant attendance on Mark Twain Samuel l.. Clemens), his wife and their two daughters, Clara and Jean, at the humorist's home at Riverdale- e-on1Hudson.
 It is more than six months since Mrs Clemens has left the house She was stricken with nervous prostration last August, and since then her condition has several times caused her husband the keenest anxiety. The strain re suited in his complete collapse five weeks ago, when slight cold deTel- oped into 8 severe attack of bronchitis. 4a Miss Jean Clemens, who is 20 years old, was taken ill two weeks ago with measles. When the critical stage of her illness was reached her father was very. weak. and the physicians had to hide from him how serious her condi- ton was.
 While caring for her sister Miss Clara caught the measles. The crisis is yet to be reached in her case.

 Paralyzed by Strike
1.5oo MEN VOTED TO GO OUT

Five Policemen Rode on a Gar That

 People is With the Company-Mem-
 bers of Montreal Athletic Association

 Montreal, May 23.-The Montreal Street Railway Go is again completely tied up. At 2:3O a. m. vote was taken by the employees, and from the best in formation obtainable it appears that only about half a dozen out of some 1,50O men voted against striking.
 At49:30 a Beaver Hall Hill car was run out of the central barn along Craig street to the foot of Beaver Hall hill and back to the barn. There was no attempt made on the part of the strik- CTS to prevent it. The car carried five policemen.
 Later three cars were started on the St Denis street and Beaver Hall Hill line. l.
 A police inspector with four mounted men and seventy-f1ve men Oh foot are keeping the streets clear in the vicinity Z of the barn.
 A number of members of the Mon- treal Amateur Athletic association have offered their services as conduc- tors until after Monday, Victoria day, and a number of students of McGill university. now on vacation have of fered their services as motormen.
 The company is relying upon the city police, special constables and pri- vate detectives to protect their inter- ests. The sympathy of the public ap- pears to be very generally with the company.
 The electrical workers have also voted to go out on strike and may stop work at any moment.

 Been Used in Hartford
TO PASS INVESTMENT BILL.

An Exciting Time is Expected When
 the Measure Comes Up for Action
 Tuesday = The Danbury Normal
 School Appropriation and the De-
 murrage Bills Are Also Expected to
 Bring Out a Warm Debate.
 4 Hartford, May 23.-The sensational incident which closed the weeks ses- sions of the senate on Thursday will be repeated, if in less notable form, on the floor of the house Tuesday next, when the bill admitting certain western railroad securities as savings bank investments comes up for action. The rules as to one days postpone ment of favorable reports have been suspended, so that Tuesday will see the final action on the investment bill. House Chairman Bicknell of Meriden, of the committee on banks, will pre- sent the minority unfavorable report on this biIl, and MT Thompson of Or ange will lead the majority. The statement that J. Pierpont Morgan & Go, Redmond, Kerr & Go. and Vermil- yO ~ SUp 'WClI n4AOWAL4 ANCW AOlh plO- kerage houses, formed a pool to pass the proposed measure, and that $50, 900 was used by their legislative agents to get the bill through the as- sembIy and committee on banks, which was made by Senator Ayling on the floor of the senate Thursday, has been since then the talk of banking and legislative circles in the state. It has paved the way for interesting dis cussion in the house on Tuesday, where the forces on both sides are all ready lining up for the fight.
 The appropriation for the Danbury normal school will be one of the inter- esting matters to come before the house next week. There is majority unfavorable report on this measure, which was favorajbly reported by the committee on education, from the com mittee on appropriations.
 The labor incorporation bill, which was rejected iu the senate Thursday, will come to the house Tuesday next. As the labor interests are against the bill it is not expected that there will be a contest.
 A substitute bill on the demurrage measure will be reported early in the week, and this will bring forward one of the severest fights of the session

 Pittsburg, Pa, May 23.-It was al- most daybreak this morning before any of the victims of last nights frightful elevator accident at the Don- nelly building, during the Electro Me chanical institute ball last night, were identified, and at 10 o'clock the crushed and mutilated remains of a woman were still lying at the morgue un- known and unclaimed. The bodies of four of the victims were so badly dis figured that Identification was only possible through marks on the clothing worn, and as some lad no marks on their clothing identification was inn possible until friends inquired for them because missed from their homes. The unknown woman is thought to nave come from some of the suburban towns and the remains will likely be identi- fled during the day
