EarIx Scarlet RadIsh.

While there may not be n great zeal
of o in growing radishes, the crop
is one that is easily and cheaply
grown. and for a time early in the sea-
on sells we'll. Naturally, the earliest
sorts are the most profitable, al
though, if one is located near a live
town and will grow the radish crop
so that they are crisp and fresh at all
times. it is possible to extend the pro-
atable season. The Earliest Scarlet
is one of the best Of the early sorts,
and as it has not been grown for sew
eral season, it has proved its worth.
The skin is n rich scarlet color and
the flesh white and crisp. While it is
q favoritc for growing under glass. it
is equally profitable grown in the open
ground, where it natures quickly and
thus retains its crispness. BY dropping
seeds in the ground whenever a pulling
is made, the radish season is consid-
crably prolonged and the soil made to
yield 4 larger percentage of profit. The
variety is we'll worth planting every
where.

Sowing Clover With Wheat.

Farmers who appreciate the value
,f clover in farming operations are
quite willing to go to some trouble to
obtain q stand. Oftentime failure re-
suits, but in many cases this failure Is
due to some fault in the plan OF SOW
ing the seed. Try the following plan:
The wheat field is thoroughly prepared
and gone over with a spring tooth har-
row before sowing the wheat. Level
the soil with q harrow and then apply
fertilizers at the rate Of 300 pounds per
acre, making up a ton Of it in the fol-
lowing proportions: 1000 pounds OF
acid phosphate, 800 pounds OF kalnlt
and 200 pounds Of muriate of potash.
The fertilizer is broadcasted on the
soil and then about eight loads of fine
n put on; then the whole field IS
narrowed two or three times, and it is
ready for the wheat seed and clover.
The plan as outlined involves consld-
cradle labor and expense. but 1t IS
likely to bring desired results.-Indian-
apOlis News.

THE PLATFORM IN BRIEF.

The platform adopted by the Demo
cratic State Convention was in Drlel
as follows:
The Democrats Of the Empire State
proclaim anew their devotion to the
principles Of government which were
cnunciated by Thomas Jefferson, the
founder Of the Democratic party, ana
make these declarations upon State
issues:
The paramount and overshadowinS
issue in State affairs is between official
honesty and official corruption. we
see again before the bar Of public Judg-
ment the one-man power that to-day
dominates the Republican organiza-
ton of New York State.
Taxation, whether direct or 1ndl-
rect. is always a public burden, and
however or wherever collected, its pro-
ceeds should be strictly devoted to pub
lie purposes instead of private enrich
ment.
Excise reform is demanded for the
best interests Of this great State and
it's numerous cosmopolitan cities.
We favor and honest and just en-
forcement Of the State civil service
laws, according to their letter anu
spirit.
We are in favor Of removing the
public schools and the entire educa-
t!onal system of the State from the
realm of partisan politics, and to that
end demand that a fair and honest
representation on the Board of Regents
| shall be at all times accorded the mi
nority party, whichever party that
may be.
We favor the construction Of good
| roads. Such roads should be built u1i
| der a wise and comprehensive plan OF
| safeguarding the interests of the tax
payers. We demand that the present
| grade crossing law be enforced and
all grade crossings abolished as rap
idly as possible.
We favor local self government for
municipalities.
We endorse the Democrats Nation
! nj platform and resolutions adopted at
| st. Louis in July last as q complete
exposition of Democratic principles
and policies upon all the living issues
| of the present time.

Wild Excitement by the AFFAIR."
Mob Threatens Lynching.

Thomson, Ill.-This village was
thrown into great excitement by TWO
robbers, who subsequently gave their
names rs John Thompson and William
Myers. They shot. and instantly killed
Mayor V. S. Bennett. The men, after
a long chase, were captured and lodged
in the village Jail, where an angry
mob soon collected. and threats or
lynching were heard. The mol lacked
q leader to do violence.
The murder was the result OF rob-
bling Creno Geison's saloon at Chad-
wick early in the morning. The two
men robbed the place and then in true
hold-up style, drove at breakneck speed
from the village toward Thomson,
eight miles distant.
Marshal Matthews, Of Thomson, was
notified by telegraph to be on the look
out for the robbers. \ few minutes
before 10 o'clock the marshal entered
the only saloon in Thomson, where lie
found the two nell. Matthews hurried
from the place to secure assistance.
He found Mayor Bennett and to-
gether they returned to the saloon. The
marshal placed the two men under ar
rest, but met with considerable re-
s~istance and called to the Mayor for
help.
The Mayor had barely moved to-
ward the men when each pulled a re-
volver and fired. Three bullets hit the
Mayor in the region of the heart. The
Mayor dropped to the floor of the sa-
loon. Brandishing their revolvers the
men broke away from the marshal and
hurried down tile street.
The shooting was heard for several
blocks, and in an instant the crowd
formed a posse, and, headed by the
marshal, they gave pursuit to the fee
ing men. The men fired six shots into
the crowd, all without effect. The
marshal kept firing, and shot Thomp'
son in the leg, causing him to surren-
der, while Myers continued his fight
He was finally captured and both men
were lodged in the village Jail.
News Of the murder spread rapidly,
and soon 4 large crowd collected and
threats of u lynching were freely mace,
