THE VALUE OF SALT ]
For Use on Light and WORKOUT Soils.
There are few of the hill farms of Vermont which
do not have more or less light, or sandy. soil which:
thT0n %Sic eo r. W""1d ihr ere RgppnsSti naf Pr e" aftenpt t to- b phs
into a high state Of cultivation by the Use OF expen-
sive commercial fertilizers.
1t is generally conceded that on such soils Salt, Dy
drawing to the earth the moisture in the atmosphere,
and in this way keeping the roots of the plant. in q
healthy condition, really acts as a fertilizer. 1t Is said
that an oat crop on such soils is more than doubled by
the application Of salt and it is especially recommend
ed to those who wish to raise this crop.
We are selling our Fertnizing Salt this year for the very
low price of So. so per ton, free on board cars at Hyde Park.
This price is considerably less than that for which ordinary
salt can be bought and our Salt contains consider able matter
which adds to it's fertiEzing value.
We give below testimonials from a few farmers VINO useo

Havana, Oct 15.-"f have thus far seen nothing to indicate that the Lib eral leaders are insincerc in their ac- ton and are only seeking office" said Governor Magoon today. He added that the representations made today regarding the rebel soldiers had been without foundation.
 MT. Magoon reiterated that he had seen no signs of office grabbing. Gov ernor Magoon Is considering the ap- pOintment of commission on laws another on civil service and third to hear the claims for damages arising from the insurrection.
 The commission on laws probably will he composed of Americans and Cubans. It will he charged with the preparation of recommendations of election and municipal laws and oth .crs which are considered necessary to the government of the country. When these laws have been decided on. they will be promulgated by Governor Ma goon in the form Of derrees.
 Tn reply to a question the Governor said he had no expectation that Con- gress would assemble until after a general election had been called. The proposed evil service commission will consist of three Americans from Washington and six Cubans. It will consider the laws and practices hither- to followed in Cuba and will form a system suitable to Cuba. This system will aim at efficiency and the same time protect office-folders from re- moval except for proper cause.

Governor Ma . goon replied that he was aware that the United States has repeatedly and insistently urged this question on ex- President Palma and that the ex-Presi- dent had in turn urged IL upon the Gu ban Congress, but nothing had been accomplished of any importance. The Governor said he did not care to rush Into a matter that involved an expen- diture of $12.000,O00 or more without full consultation with the Washington authorities. The reorganized party which its leaders have renamed the Republican party, has issued a lengthy program. setting forth the principles advanced by the opposition party.

 The Progressive Union hears with regret the proposed method and form of contract issued by the Canal Com mission and protests most vigorously against such action on their part in this matter as being discrimination seriously detrimental to the interests of the port of New Orleans and the whole Mississippi Valley. and that this motion be sent to MT.

mates were not guilty. as they exer cised due diligence to prevent tne lynchIng. Shipp was in the court room bat none of the deputies were present.
 Tho seventeen other defendants in the cise- charged with participation in tn. lynching also filed their answers through attorneys, denying tnc act charged and asking to be discnargcd from custody. One of the alleged lynch CTS was present in person.
 The court took the matter under ad- vsement.
 In his answer for Mir. Shipp and his deputies, Mir. Harmon contended that the case was one for the exclusive ju- risdiction of the Tennessee State Courts and on this ground challenged the pro- priety of putting the defendants to the trouble and expense of preparing a de- gument with a plea of mot guilty in case the court holds that 1t had juris- diction in the Johnson case.
 The other defendants in the pro- ceedings were represented by separate lawyers. who presented individual an- swers. All denied complicity In the lynching and all professed the highest respect for the Supreme Court Most Of them denied all knowledge of the crime at the time, but some confessed to having been witnesses. Some enclos- ed affidavits in standardization of their personal statements
 The crime out of which the prose- cution grew was the lynching in Chat tanooga last March of a negro named Ed Johnson after the Supreme Court had announced its decision to consider the case
 Johnson had been found guilty of assaulting young white girl and had been sentenced to be hanged. On the eve of the execution Justice Harlan granted an appeal in the case. and upon the courts confirming the justices act, the mob took the prisoner from the jail and hanged him. It was charged that Shipp SO weakened the guard at the jail that 1t was easy for the mob to get at the negro.

 Ends.
LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER
Scrap Over Money of Chemist
 William Wightmann. d.
Daughter Tells of Mysterious Note, and When 1t is Produced, Quick Conference Held and Case
 Continued.

Philadelphia. Oct. 15.-The fight be. tween two women over the distribu- ton of the $s0.0oO.0OO estate left by William Wightmann. the chemist. was abruptly halted today by the produc- ton of small piece of note paper that had turned yellow with age.
 What the piece of paper contained was not made public and the few persons who have seen 1t have pledged themselves never to reveal its con- tents. The halt in the proceedings was made at the suggestion of counsel for Mrs. Jones Mister who is actirg as guardian for her daughter, Martha, the contestant.
 Mir wightmann in 1880 made a will leaving his vast estate equally to Anns NJ. Wightmann Walker, his daughter. and two sons. William and John. Ten years later he made a new will leav- ing his entire estate to the daughter. the two sons having died. leaving eight children.
 The widow of William wightmann. Jr.. the mother of i've of the grand children, married Jones Mister and when Mir. Wightmann. her father-in- law. died. she contested the will on be- half of her minor daughter. Martha, on the ground that he left a codicil in which he provided for the grandchil- dren. Mrs. Walker had denied that her father had made codicil.
 One of the witnesses today was Mrs Walker: another was Edward T. Da- wis. for many years private secretary to MT. Wightmann. who was wit ness to tho signing of the last will. Counsel for Mrs. Mister asked him if hs remembered Mir. Wightmann subse- quent to drawing up his will. having written something on piece of note paper and placing 1t in his desk.
 Ha had did mt know what Mir. Wightmann had written, Thereupon Alexander Simpson, Jr.. of counsel for Mrs. Mister, demanded the production of the paper. It was pre- duced and read by Mrs. Wister's att torneys The witness said 1t looked like the paper he had seen Mir. Wight mann write. The examination of Mrs. Walker followed, no further attention being paid to the piece of paper.
 After recess MT. Simpson announced that the counsel for both sides had held a conference and at the request of Mrs. WisteTs lawyers the opposing side had consented to d continuance of the case This sudden halt in the pro ceedings caused a sensation and ru- mors were put in circuiatfon that tha case had been compromised.
 All attorneys denied that compro- mise mad been agreed to- Finally 1t was admitted that the piece of paner was the cause of the sudden turn of affairs
 While the lawyers will not express an opinion as to whether the case VIII ever be again called in court. they in timatc that tkc Wisters will take no further action.

 Wireless and Cable advices today to the United Fruit Company say that probably no loss of life occurred The hurricane appeared central near Blue fields. on the east coast of Nicaragua. It swept in from the sea. it's first fury striking Little and Great Corn Island, which were swept bare of veg citation and their topography even alt cred by the waves On mainland the storm damage was confined mostly to a path about thirty miles wide, in which banana and rubber crops were destroyed and plantations blown down.
 Great demolition Was reported from Rama, a town on ;he coast about forty miles from Bluefelds. Port l.imon, in Costa Rica. also uttered damage.
 The United Fruit Company estimates that the storm will result in cutting down the banana imports about 2O,000 punches per week, which is a very small amount of the regular weekly volume. .-.. ...
