WOMAN CHARGED WITH MURDER.

..Idmoreite SpCCiiL
Salna, Kas.. Aug. 2S.-One Of the
most sensational murder cases ever
tried In the state will come up for
hearing at the August term of the dis.
trict court, which convened today
The case is that OF Mrs j. H. Cald-
we'll. who Is charged with killing her
husband The crime occurred about
two years ako and the woman has
been in Jail ever since Two previous
trials resulted in the disagreement Of
the iurcs. Owink to the shortness Of
the present term, the trial may be
continued until November. The bit
ter feeling against Mrs. Caldwell
which prevailed for some time after
the crime, has now died out and IL is
likely that the third trial will result
in her acquittai. Mrs Caldwell de.
cares her innocence, although the cir.
evidence against her 10

SAGEBRUSH LANDS.

A number Of Minnesota and Iowa
farmers have gone to Washington and
invested in farms located in dead
level prairie tract of some $4,000 acres
lying north and east Of the Columbia
river, paying In the neighborhood Of
$12 per acre We understand from
some who have made such purchases
that the land in question is covered
with sagebrush, that one has to dig
down between 300 and 400 feet for
water and that there is practically no
rain from April until October. These
facts prove conclustvely that such land
is at best In a semia1id district and
that unless water can be obtained
through a system Of irrigation the pay
ment Of the above amount per acre is
a very precarious speculation. It is
true that along the water courses good
crops Of wheat may be raised, but we
are decidedly skeptical as to the Iowa
farmer being at all satisfied with such
an investment and great deal more
skeptical as to his being willing to live
under the climate and physical con-
dttions prevailing. Sagebrush and buff
falo grass are simple signals which ma
ture puts out warning the settler
against locating with a view to carry
ing on ordinary agricultural opera
tons, and the warning is one that
every prospector for new land would
do well to heed We hope the promise
Of the land agent viii be more than
half fulfilled in the case Of the men
who have made such purchases, but
we do not expect 1t to be.

HOME GROWN CELERY.

No vegetable that came from our gar
den the past year gave a greater meas
ure Of satisfaction or proved 2 more
toothsome delicacy than the product Of
small bed Of celery. If early celery
is desired, the seed should be sown in
d box indoors or in hOtbed, the
plants being transferred to the open
ground as soon as the weather permits.
Transplanting gives a stocky and Wig
orous plant We have found a very
satisfactory arrangement for the celery
bed to be as follows: Dig french Of
the width and length desired and to a
depth of about eight or ten inches,
work into the soil at the bottom sew
eral Wheelbarrow loads Of well rotted
manure, setting the plants in rows
about ten inches apart and about eight
inches apart in the row. Being in the
trench and below the surface of the
ground, the bed does not dry out rap
idly, while the watering of the bed is
greatly siInplifed During the period
Of early growth the bed should be hoed
and kept free from weeds. When about
twelve or fourteen inches high killing
should be begun, the earth taken from
the trench at the start being returned.
With this method no boards are neces-
sary Two or three killings should be
given, care being taken each time to
keep the earth from getting into the
crown of the plant. Celery raised in
the manner described is as much supe-
rior to that found on the market as is
full cream cheese to the skinniest
skim milk product, The golden, self
blanching variety has proved most sat
isfactory.

The Importance OF Ventilation.


The science of architecture, If under
this head we include the principles Of
building construction end the heating
and ventilation of buildings, has done
and is doing much Of interest and i'm
portance to the student Of public health
science. The air supply, especially for
the modern civilized and too often sed-
entary form Of mankind, Is In the long
run quite as important as the water
supply, the milk supply or any other
supply Surely we cannot be too care
full of the purity of substance which
we take into our bodies oftener and in
larger volume than any other and
which has come, rightly, no doubt, and
as the result Of long and painful ex-
perience, to be known as the very
breath of life. Human beings may sur
vive and seemingly thrive even for
long periods on bad air, but for the
best work, the highest efficiency, the
greatest happiness and the largest life,
as well as for perfect health, the very
best atmosphere is none too good

Is there an implement on the farm,
considering the great number in use,
that is more universally sheltered in
the open field than the hay loader? We
noticed one recently which had been
left in the meadow, the meadow pillow

ly cut with a corn harvester. The hay
loader still stood in the selfsame spot
and will probably continue to stand
there until the field is reseeded, and
then how handy it will be right on the
ground, you know.
