HUSBANDS INSANITY
 REUNITES FAMILY
The Case Against s. B. Sealey Dis-
 missed Yesterday.

S E. Sealey who was arrested on
 Wednesday for insanity. left last night
 for his home. His wife and son ar
 rived in the city yesterday morning
 from Tucson. Sealey had been es-
 tranged from his wife. it was learned
 yesterday morning but they were glad to see each other. and there was not
 more loving couple in the territory
 than they.
 Some light was thrown on Sealey's
 case by a letter from Attorney Frank
 Baxter of Yuma. received at the of
 flee of the sheriff yesterday morn
 ing MT Baxter said that Sealey was
 man of some wealth and a good citi-
 zen. He is the owner of d ranch and q lot of cattle at Cibola, eighty miles below Yuma, on ,he Colorado. He had heen having a good deal of trouble with his Mexican neighbors over the land and the cattle and there had been threats of violence on both s6es. Not long ago Sealey sold some caLtle in Yuma and ore of them Was claimed by d Mexican. The matter was tried lbefore a justice. The evidence Of SeaIey was not quite strong enough and the animal was turned over to the Mexican plaintiff
 Sealey was advised by his attor- Ineys that though the steer was his. he could probably not prove .his owner ship. and it would therefore be bet ter for him to let the matter drop. He ! insisted however. on taking an appeal land it was done. IL required only tlls little thing to unhinge his already 1 IsIained mind and he began taking
 the matter up with ali sorts of author lit'es. He saw the live stock ;nspec- tors about il and flooded the office | of the live stock sanitary commission with telegrams on the subject Then he suddenly disappeared iron Yuma lard all trace of him was lost dntil tie telegram was received from .h@ sher- i ifCs office here. saying that h. Was in ijail charged with insanity.
 The cause of the estranGement be- tween. Sealey and his family is not il.nown. After that Mrs. Sealey. l couple of daughters, and tv.o sons. | both of whom are in the empf1y of the [ Southern Pacific. went to Tucson. i Sealey was taken into probacc court Iycsterday afternoon and -he charge Iasainst him was dismissed.

PRIZES For GOOD ROADS.

A very commendable rivalry that
has been inaugurated by county agri-
cultural society of western state Is
the outgrowth of Offering series of
prizes for portions of the county roads
kept in the best shape by the use of
the King drag. Farmers living along
the roads leading into the county seat
have already begun work on the roads
with a view to securing the prizes, and
a marked Improvement In their con-
dltion' has been noted. There are fea-
lures connected with this competition
which lead one to hope that 1t may
become to an extent epidemic.

The seventeen year locust, whose pc
i'iodical appearances are closely watch
ed by the specialists of the agricultural
apartment, will appear this year, ac-
cording to a bulletin recently issued
by the government, in northern ILL
nois, portions of Maryland and sew
c.ll other adjacent southern states. In
formation regarding the appearance Of
tle insects in any portion of the coun-
Try is desired by the bureau at Wash
ington, with view to keeping the clos
est possible track of them. While there
LIS been comparatively slight damage
from this pest in recent years, the gov
ernment wishes to keep as well posted
touching the time and place of their
periodic appearance as possible, with a
view to being prepared for them should
the damage from them give promise of
being considerable.

Perhaps there is no aspect of modern
educational methods that is just now
being given more emphasis and from
which more definite and practical re-
suits promise to flow than that covered
by the term manual training. And the
interest that is being manifested speaks
well for the good sense of educators and
school patrons. This is practical age,
in which the call is very strong for
young men and women who can do
definite things rather than for those
who have head knowledge merely AS
a consequence many of the schools in
the larger cities have added depart
ments in which the boys are taught
mech2nical drawing, carpentry, mason
ry and other practical and useful
trades, while the girls are given the
benefit of equally practical courses in
sewing, cooking, including studies in
the value of food products, sanitation
and household economies In general.
Country schools are not so greatly in
need Of these departments as those in
town, as country life In many ways
furnishes many of the conditions IA
vorable to the development of the
hand-direct contact and acquaintance
with practical things. The rural school
may be short in library and expert
mental equipment, but this lack Is
quite fully compensated for by direct
access to natures laboratory and work.

A granger taking whirl on the
board of trade stands about the same
chance Of winning out that the fellow
does who bucks the wheel of fortune
at the county fair, the prospect being
good in either case that the one who
INDUCES will get skinned. The first
institution is maintained for the pur-
pose of picking the lambs, the second
for taking in the suckers, neither be-
ing operated for benevolent purposes.
There are nine chances to one that If
he will get caught short ON pork. Rails
ing hogs for market is therefore bet
ter proposition all around than specu-
lating with the carcass or byproducts

One of the most serious drought con-
ditions to be reported for several years
has prevailed in northeast Kansas and
southeast Nebraska for more than
month past. Reports coming from the
affected district state that the straw
berry crop has been ruined and oats
are a practical failure. Corn sprouted
poorly and is in a critical condition,
while vegetable gardens are fast dry
ing up. There is a possibility that
there will be reversing of weather
conditions to the droughty period Of
six and eight years ago.

rapid drying up of soils adjacant to
thing laid with view to draining
water from the family cellar. This
much of an object lesson is usually
sufficient. One of the men belonging
to the class mentioned is this year rails
ing bumper crop of corn on just such
a piece Of low land, as these low tracts
almost always possess a superabun-
dant fertility and require but the drain
iIg off Of surplus water to yield boun-
tifully.

1t does not serve to lessen the regret
a whit that the little one in the home
is bitten by the pet family dog rather
than by the tramp cur that happens to
stroll past the place Recently there
have come to our notice two cases OF
this kind. In the one little two-year-
old was killed outright by a pet bull
dog that had been angered by boys
in the neighborhood, its jaws having
to be prled open before the grip of the
animals teeth could be freed from
the little ones throat. In the second
instance q large Dane attacked little
child of about the same age, son of
the owner, and nearly killed him be-
fore 1t was dubbed off. There may be
cases where watchdog is necessity,
but they are getting scarcer every day.
Since 1t is the bark of dog that is
the important thing, pug or terrier
viii answer this purpose in most cases,
and should. they attack the children in
the home they would not mangle them
quite SO badly.
