SOME LOCAL HISTORY.

Was then the County Seat
Of Harrison County.
Nonpareil, May 7th.
Some ancient history relating
to Mills and Harrison counties
is brought to light in a Pinker-
ton detective story in Leslie's
magazine for May. Council
Bluffs also figures quite promi-
nently in the story, which deals
with a period just at the close
of the civil war. The recital is
as follows:
"ln March, 1868, when the
safe of the county treasurer at
Magnolia, Harrison county, To-,
was robbed Of $4,000. Allen
Pinkerton was called into the
case. He sent his son, William
A. Pinkerton, in charge of sew
eral operatives, to run down the
safe blowers. They found, first
of all, that the burglars had left
Magnolia in the direction of
Council Bluffs, 10. There the
detectives discovered that a
former resident of Seymore, In
diana, the headquarters Of the
Reno gang, was running a tough
soloon. They set themselves to
wach this saloon, being already
convinced that the Renos had
had a hand in the Magnolia rob-
berry. On the second day a stran-
ger entered the saloon and re-
rnained for some time in secret
conference with the proprietor.
Inquiry showed that the stran-
ger was Michael Rogers, a we'll
known and rich citizen of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, who bore a good rep
utation. Leaving a couple of
operatives to shadow Rogers
and the saloon, Pinkerton went
back to Magnolia and discover
ed that the day before the safe
robbery Rogers had been in the
county treasuer's office there,
had paid his taxes, and had
spent some time in lettering
about the building.
"This deepened the suspicion
of the detective into something
approaching moral certenty.
He hurried bac k to Council
Bluffs and concentrated his at
tention on the residence Of Mi
chael Rogers. During his at
fence as his operatives reported,
several strange men had gone
into the Rogers house, and not
yet left it. Four days the de-
tectives watched in patience.
Then, one morning, Rogers and
three other men slipped cauti-
ously out of the house and took
the Pacific railroad for the west.
One of the three strangers was
a tall, handsome, athletic young
man, who closely resembled the
description Of Frank Reno.
Next morning, before dawn,
the four returned to Council
Bluffs and re-entered the house
before the town was awake.
They arrived at a time when
no train was due; they were
covered with mud, and showed
other marks Of hard and siren
uous labor. A little later word
re "a c h e d Council Bluffs
that the safe of the county
treasurer at Glenwood, Mills
county, twenty miles to the
south, had been robbed during
the previous night. There were
many points Of similarity be-
tween the robbery Of this safe
and that at Magnolia. Pinker-
ton was now entirely satisfied
that Rogers and the men con-
cealed in his house were respon-
sible for both crimes. But the
Council Bluffs authorities

COST OF PRODUCTION.

Economy in the production of farm
crops has been but little considered up
to this time. But few farmers know
what their crops cost them. They
draw on the latent fertility Of their
soils just as a man draws on his ac-
count at the bank, only most of them
forget to make deposits to draw
against. The manufacturer does differ
emily. He regards it as most vital
thing connected with the success of his
business to know just what his product
costs, and if there be any way where
by such cost of production may be re-
duced he very quickly avails himself Of
it. Some men raise corn at an expense
OF but Is cents bushel, while it costs
some other men SO cents. One man
Will feed beef animal and make mon
ey on 1t; more feed cattle and lose mon
ey in so doing. Ignorance of the bust
ness lies at the bottom of failures in
farming, because what one man does
another man could do if he only knew
how. More men want to know how
than ever before

MoLAssEs AS STOCK FEED.

At all the sugar refining plants the
molasses has always been a waste
product in a large sense. It has been
used for fuel and for the making Of
roads, while endless quantities Of it
have been dumped as garbage. With
in few years the value of molasses as
a stock food has been developed, and
some very surprising results have been
obtained. 1t has been found that with
the heavy draft horses of New York
city a ration of ten or twelve pounds
OF molasses per day has effected a saw
ing of IS per cent in the cost Of feed
ing such horses with an added i'm
provement in the general health and
effectiveness of the horse so fed In.
some parts Of the south it was most adj
vantageously fed to mules, reducing
the cost of their keep SO per cent. It is
now being used in the northern states
as mixer for ground alfalfa hay, max
ing an admirable dairy ration for the
milk COW. The best inventive genius Of
the country is at work on the utiliza-
ton of it's products with wonderful
success

OF the road is constantly built up little
by little and the desired oval form FOR
the highway secured; the road is per
Iectjy smoothed; the travel, there be-
ing no ruts, is distributed over quite a.
vide surface, impacting the little fresh
gunbo placed on top of the road. Aft
er q few treatments the road begins to
take on perfect form and the rain is
sned from it as water is from a ducks
pack. In year or two there is formed
gumbo cement crown or crust over
the road from six inches to a foot in
thickness, which is almost imperviOus
10 water, and simply because the wa
Ter cannot penetrate this crust the
road remains good.
1he cost of such machine is not to
exceed 81. The cost to treat the high
way in the manner indicated is not to
exceed $3.50 per mile per year. Dirt
and gumbo roads SO treated last year
We're firm and good roads this spring
when all other roads not treated were
almost impossible
The secret of the success of this
method lies in going over the road fire.
Quently, after every rain at least. This
prevents the road from getting bad
rather than repairing it after it is bad.
Inc formation Of this puddled cement
ed crust over the road secures distribu-
ton of the travel over it's surface and
prevents the formation Of ruts, which
are always the beginning Of future
mudholes.
The most astounding results have
Followed the adoption of this method
IN Missouri. Whole neighbOrhoods have
taken it up and secured fine country
roads where before it was not possible
tor them to be worse.
The plan prompts the farmer 20 make
his own drag and operate it on the
highway which borders his farm indie
pendent Of road tax or road boss, and
the rewards are so pleasing that he re-
CARDS the work as pleasure. Back
and forth over the road about twelve
times during the year does the work.
The first years work Is the hardest, as
most highways lack conformity to an
oval type. This comes little by little,
and the work is easier each succeeding
year.
One of the leading railways of Iowa
was so impressed with the practical
value Of this new method Of treating
the dirt roads that it organized a good
roads campaign by which the people
on it's line have been reached and the
method explained and practically dem
onstrated. The effort met with the
greatest encouragement, and at every
town visited large sums were sub
scribed by the business men to be Of
fered as prizes to the farmers who
would care for the roads under this
plan. 1t really looks as though a prac-
teal solution of the problem of max
ing a good earth road had been found
at last

SYDNEY SMITH.

AG Country ParsOn and as q Peace
making Magistrate.
For twenty years Sydney Smith re-
NAMED in Yorkshire, and, though his
ideas of clerical duty were not those
Of today, yet it will not be denied that
ne was vigorous country parson, en-
tering into the pursuits and the daily
life of his humble neighbors and doing
his utmost to improve their lot. His
descriptions of his life and surround
lngs at Foston are among the most de-
hghtful Of his humorous writings. Ev-
cry one has heard Of Annie Kay, the
little country girl, made like a mile
stone," who, christened Bunch, "be-
came the best butler in the county !"
Of the rawboned riding horse Calamity
which flung me over his head into a
neighboring parish as if l had been a
shuttlecock, and feel grateful that it
was not into a neighboring planet" Of
the ancient green chariot named the
Immortal, "at which the viAAge boys
cheered and the village dogs barked;"
Of his four draft oxen-Tug and Lug,
Haul and Crawl-of which ''Tug and
Lug took to fainting and required
buckets of sal volatile and Haul and
Crawl to lie down in the mud" As a
magistrate Sydney Smith became IA
nous for making up local quarrels and
for dealing gently with poachers. The
game laws, like good Wing, he could
not abide, and it stirred his honest
wrath to reflect that 'for every ten
pheasants which fluttered in the wood
one English peasant was rotting In
JAIL" Like Charles Kingsley at Evers-
ley in after years, he refrained from
shooting IF you shoot" he said. ''the
squire and the poacher Will both con-
slider you as their natural enemies, and
/ thought it more clerical to be at peace
with both. Rev. Canon Vaughan In

A DIFFICULT CROP.

We are asked about beans as a crop,
whether it pays to raise them as field
crop. We have grown several acres of
beans each year for the past five years,
valuing them as good orchard crop
They will yield from ten to fifteen
bushels per acre and are one of the
most annoying and difficult crops to
harvest and get ready for market that
we know of. A rainy spell after they
are pulled about spells the crop. If
planted too early the weeyil gets into
them and if too late the frost gets
them. We would advise no man to
grow beans on good corn land and not
to plant them at all unless one has a
piece Of land which will not grow any
thing elah.
