creasing them. Many of those who gave
larger sums are first to double up when
the emergency call was made, but the
little fellows stay little. After the
shops are lost they will be the first
ones to complain at the dull times.
Canton has been kept upon the up
ward grade by the activity Of her citi-
zens. She is one OF two cities that com
tinues to show gains in Ohio In her
bank clearings. All the others show
loss each week. This is the time above
all others when the people who have
large property interests should be ac-
tive, but they are the ones who are
hardest to interest.

to move from my place to Reifsnyder's
the axle works where he was employed.
He also said that he was going to bor-
row $50 from Reifsnyder SO that he
could bring his wife and children over
from the old country.
Thursday evening he did not come
here as he usually does and thought
that he was at Reifsnyders Since the
body has been found we traced him
from that place up to the crossing of
South Market street and the Pennsyl-
vania tracks where he had got off tie
street car to walk to this place. It was
o'clock when he left Reifspyders; It
was or little after when he reached
the tracks. What he did or where he
went after that nobody knows.
81 liked Zabaila very much. He
never drank very much and was always
quiet. He came to this country last
August and his wish has always been
that he could get enough money to
bring his family over. l have also
found out later that he was to get $50
from Reifsnyder on Friday, so I know
that all he had was what he showed
me on Wednesday night believe that
some one attacked him while he was
walking on the tracks and that his
body was thrown on them after he had
been rendered insensible."
Lieutenant Wielandt will investigate
the matter more fully today but as the
circumstances surrounding the case are
so obscure it is feared little progress
can be made.

That John Zabaila, the Hungarian,
whose body was found early Friday
morning along the tracks of the Penn
sylvania railroad, met death through
foul play is the belief of his friends.
Zabaila was known to have money
on his person but few hours before
the time he was thought to have en-
countered death and when his torn
trousers were examined by his friends
they found his pocketbook empty. Ia
baila was run over by the Pennsylva-
MIA shifter at a point about 200 feet
east of the Market street crossing. The
body had been cut in two at the waist.
The circumstances leading up to the
event are not known. 1t Is thought
that he was struck by the shifter few
moments after IL o'clock ON Thursday
evening. The lifeless form was not dis
covered until shortly after o'clock
Friday morning by officers Bour and
Kincaid who summoned the Miller
Blanchard ambulance and the remains
were taken to the morgue on Fifth
street.
Lieutenant of Police Joseph Wielandt
went to a saloon last night on South
Saxton street owned by Joe Welcelean
where Zabaila boarded to investigate
the case. The man told the following
story:
81 believe John Zabaila to have met
with foul play but by whom, do not
know, nor do even suspect. On We'd
nesday evening he came to me and
while we were talking he showed me
$24. He told me that he was going

was being punched and kicked at from
all sides.
The clothes were almost torn from
the policemen and they were forced to
use their clubs vigorously over the
heads of the frenzied rioters.
Missiles were thrown but In the dens1
crowd they took effect on various riot
ers more than on the negro or police.
Thomas OHara cropped senseless in
the crowd from the blow Of stone on
the forehead and Theodore Fisher was
severely bruised.
Policemen who were bearing William
Riley, the negro slasher who escaped
from the first riot, to the county Jail
hospital for treatment, Joined in the
rescue of the negro, Woods.
After a rapid succession of lively
scrimmages the negroes we're dragged
away, Woods to be sent to the Provi-
dent hospital and Riley to be locked
up after his wounds were dressed.
The third riot began at 1880 p. m.
on Thirty-first street near Steward ave-
nue. and was the most serious of the
strike thus far.
Lynching was narrowly averted.
John Hunter, a negro, 20 years Of
age, who claimed to be barber shop
porter but is said by union men to he
a strike breaker In the Sulzberger
plant, was the object Of the crowds
hatred.
He was stopped by crowd on Thir-
ty-frst near Stewart avenue, after he
had left the stock yards. The man
asked him where he was going and ac-
cused him Of being an imported strike
breaker.
Hunter started to run, with an enor-
nous crowd after him and the chase
was kept UP with exciting incidents
for a distance of mile and half.
The negro tried to get into house
at the corner of Thirty-seventh and
Wallace streets but Q woman closed
a door in his face and left him at bay
on the porch before the mob.
It has been claimed that the negro
fred a shot at this time and that no
weapon was found on him at the sta
the exciting events following.
The crowd went on the porch and
kicked Hunter in the head and body
until he was insensible.
He revived and is said to have
fourished razor threateningly at
some of his assailants. The crowd
returned to him and was dragging him
forth with cries of lynch him"
string him up" "get rope" when
Officer Charles Sweeney of the Third
precinct saw the trouble and jumped
off a car.
Officer Sweeney broke through the
crowd and selling the unconscious ne
gro, carried him bodily and threw him
aboard the car. Sweeney had been
unable, so dense was the crowd about
him, to draw his revolver or club and
keep his human burden.
When he boarded the car he threw
Hunters limp form on the floor be-
tween the seats. drew his revolver and
commanded the angry, bowling crowd
to stand and keep IT'S DISTANCE. He
gave the order to start the car but
the members of the mob had jerked
the trolley down, cut the rope and sent
the trolley beyond reach.
Cries Of lynching were renewed and
there was fearful fusilade of missiles
but Sweeney's revolver deferred the
crowd from rushing the car.

Many of our Southern farmers al

are turning their attention to hog rails

nlany more will have engaged in this
profitable pursuit. In the State OF
Texas, for instance, there is general
spread OF enthusiasm on the subject
of swine breeding. and many meetings
have been held and organizations
formed for the fostering of this indus

plants have already been in operation
several years.

TO put the free nitrogen of the air into
such forms or combinations that these
plants decay in or on the soil. the
nitrogen which they collected, through
the aid of the micrO-organiSmS. from
the air is left in such condition that
other agricultural plants can use 1t.
and in this is the explanation of the
improving and enriching power of the
pea or similar crop. The cowpea takes
nitrogen from the air. which most
plants cannot d. and adds it i'll the de-

Importance of a full understanding OF
the foregoing fact and its meaning to
improved agriculture cannot be too
we'll understood.
We have thus discussed what is
known as the free. uncombined or gas
eous nitrogen of the air. the original
and greatest of all sources OF nitro
gen. 1t can only be used first hand
by one class of agricultural plants.

The Purpose In Training.

To secure tree of beautiful shape
or symmetrical figure is the secondary
object in training. One primary OBJ
iect is to supply 4 sufficierry of sun
shine and fresh air to the leaves of the
growing plant. The air moves in all
directions, but the sunshine comes
principally from only one side. And
therefore. other things being equal,
that tree is best trained which throws
least shadow upon itself.
Another object of training is to Sc
cure an even distribution of sap
throughout the branches. The princi-
pie upon which this operates is that
the sap flows most easily through the
upright branches. If branch grows
too slowly its rates may be increased
by turning it upward. Similarly. the
over luXuriant branch may be checked
by being turned downward.
The tree should also he Kept in
equilibrium as to weight bT g careful

An lncorriqlbie Dog.

The intelligence of the dog suffered
somewhat by an Athens narrative in
which 1t is made to appear that an old
dog owned by f. Holcomb recently
engaged with a rattler on the low
grounds near the town, and was Sc.
verely bitten Mr.. Holcomb was IA
miliar with the formula for snake
bites. He had some Of the medicine
on hand, consisting OF whisky and
uuinipe mixed in quantities to suit.
Opening the dogs jaws he turned a
liberal dose down him. Two or three
days elapsed during which the animal
was unable to walk straight. yet he
seemed not to have any pain. and in
fact appeared to enjoy himself. But
at last he was sober again. One would
naturally think that having been bit
ten once ho would have fought shy
of the swamp afterward, but the mo.
ment he was able to navigate he was
back among the boys again watching
for more snakes. This is why he
seems unintelligent.-Detroit (Mich.)

the year. Both Amber and Orange

The Orange sorghum grew larger ana

stems of the Amber sorghum made IT
more desirable than the other for for

successful as fodder crop. The same

mended for sowing with late sown

One very important result of these
experiments at UniontOwn is the high

cowpeaS. The writer has often SuS-
gested the adviSability of giving the

much less expense than is the case
with cowpeas, and it is said TO make
good feed for cattle and hogs. though
on account Of its richness in nitrogen
it should be mixed with such carbona-
ceous feeds as corn, Katfir corn seed,
etc. Upland rice would also be good

Anthracnose of the Bean.

This disease appears upon the bean
in deep. dark pits. 1t very materially
diminisheS the amount of marketable
beans. 1t spreads rapidly among the
collected beans in the market. 1t IS
caused by the appearance OF fungus
to be found upon the pods Of beans.
1t is able to live through the winter.
which it generally does III the bean it
self. When the infected seeds are
used they will either not grow at all.
or, if they do grow, they will spread
the disease to plants otherwise healthy.
1t is therefore of great Importance to
the grower that he does not at all
allow these seeds to be planted. as in
this way only can the disease he sue
ceSSfully combatted. The infected
seeds have 4 Shriveled and diScolored
appearance by which they may be
usually distinguished from the good
seed. They should be rejected and
only such seeds as are sound should
be used for planting. Some successful
experiments have been made in treat
ing the seeds before planting. The
seeds before planting should be soaked
for an hour or two in a solution OF
three ounces of carbonate and one
quart of ammonia to four and one-half
of water. The plant will then be gen
orally free from anthracnoSe. But
plants from diseased seed not so treat
ed will be sure to have anthracnoSe 10
a greater or less extent. 1t is very
easy for one to use this solution. but
it should not be stronger than indi-
Gated. as it may thus very easily be
rendered dangerous to the seeds.
If the disease should still appear
after planting. when these precautions
are taken. perhaps the best remedy is
to destroy the plants which are affect
ed. and thus prevent its further
spreading. If it becomes very destruc-
tive in its attacks one can hardly be
too vigorous or too severe i'll his
method of eradicatinG it.
