To Be Made Mandatory.

ut is suggested that in order to attain
the object of the bill the provision that the
bridge should be kept open should be man
datory, and the Commissioners suggest that
1t be made SO; and that the date should be
fixed at December 10, 1906, instead of Feb
ruary II, 1907. and that the bridge shall be
maintained by the railway company and
the draw operated during such period with
in that time as may be necessary. The
reason the Commissioners suggest the
earlier date is that they believe that steps
should be taken for the removal of the
bridge before ice begins to form In the
river, and thus prevent the forming of a
gorge at this point; further, no work could
be done toward paving the approach to the
new Highway bridge during the winter
months, that the same result would be
attained by making this date December 10.

III you lost watch worth 500 what
reward would you give the finder for
Its return7"
"Oh, ten or twelve dollars"
"Ten per cent, eh? Well, that Is
about right" said the detective. ut
Is more, though, than the average per-
son would give. Here in America in
lost and found cases there is no rec
ognized percentage Of reward, but in
England there is such percentage,
namely, half a crown to pound; that
is to say. about 10 per cent. Ten per
cent is what the finder must be paid
In England provided he takes his find

owner is apt to give him less than the

buy nitrogen at fifteen cents pound,
when by growing clover he can se-
cure it for cent pound, and, if he
has anything to eat the clover and
will haul out his manure, without
any cost whatever. These soils
that are lacking in PHOSPHORUS
usually contain plenty of potash.
Hence it is foolish for man to buy
potash unless he absolutely knows
that his soil needs it.
The experiments of the Illinois
and Ohio stations show quite con-
clusiyely that the PHOSPHORUS can
be restored in the cheapest way by
the use of ground phosphate rock or
floats; but they show with equal
conclusiveness that this phosphate
rock is of little use unless applied
in connection with some vegetable
matter, either by applying it on
clover the fall before the land is
plowed up for corn or using the
phosphatein connection with manure,
putting it on the manure as made IN
the stable, or putting it on the
wagon when it is hauled out. Phos-
phorous can be applied with profit
on these lands, but only in connec-
ton with vegetable matter. Our
readers in Ohio, especially the east
ern portion, in southern Illinois,
and in many parts of Missouri,
should keep this in mind. 1t wi |
save them plenty of money.
We hope the time will never cone
in Iowa and central and northern
Illinois when the purchase of ce m
mercial fertilizers will be needed.
Their is no need Of it, if the proper
kind of farming is carried on; but
where it is actually needed, then
always apply some kind of vegetable
matter in connection with your
phosphate rock.

BOLD EXPRESS THEFT
PACKAGE TAKEN FROM WAGON

OusIy Disappears in Chicago and

gers OF to Escape Death.

Mysterious disappearance in Chicago
OF a package of jewelry from wagon
of the Wells-Fargo Express Company
consigned to Ii. NJ. Houston & Co. of
that city and valued at $1,000 is abb
sOrbing the attention of Capt. O'Brien
of the detective bureau. The package
was placed on one of the Wels-Fargo
wagons at the main Office in Chicago
When the wagon reached the Heyworth
building the conductor was unable to find
the package consigned to Houston & Co.
He at once reported the fact t the main
and later to Capt. O'Brien. Suspicion
was at once directed to the conductor
himself and his driver and they were ar
rested and taken to Capt. G'Brien's Of
fee, where they were subjected to a Sc
we're examination. They gave their names
as S. X. Seeger and Harry Allen. Both
denied any knowledge Of the manner in
which the package was lost and said that
in the dark it would have teen possible
for a robber to get into the wagon and
carry it off. They will be held until
the police are positive they are telling
the. truth. Capt. O'Brien believes that
Seeger and Allen left the wagon unguard-
ed in the street, and that the jeweh'y
was taken in their absence. Allen said
he stopped the wagon for a time at the
Columbus Memorial building, but that
neither he nor Seeger left he wagon.

BOMB In ST. PETERS.
ROME'S FAMOUS CHURCH SHAK
EN- BY EXPLOSION.
Wild Panic Among Thousands Who
Throng Basilica FolIows-Not One
Hurt and Edifice Is Uninjured-
Deed Is Strange Mystery.

A bomb containing high-grade gun
powder was exploded Sunday in st. Pc
ters Cathedral, at Rome. 1t is thought
the bomb was for Papal Secretary OF
State Cardinal Rampoli, who celebrated
high mass, the occasion being the ami
ersary of the conservation of She cathe-
dral to st. Peter, whose body lies in a
silver shrine not far from where the
explosion occurred.
His Holiness, Pope Plus. heard the
muffied report in his apartments in the
Vatican, and fell to his knees in Il
prayer for mercy for the offender when
he was informed what had happened.
Cardinal Rampoli frequently has ex-
pressed his fearlessness Of the anarch-
lists and this gives rise to the rumor
that the band which has been causing
deaths in Rome intended TO end his
life.
The tomb of Clement MIL. over
which the bomb exploded, was not in
jured in any way, nor was the high al
tar, at the base of which the full force
of the explosion was felt Despite the
enormous charge of gunpowder not
even the pavement shows much evil
dence of what happened.
AT the time of the explosion Cardinal
Rampoli had already taken his depar-
ture from the cathedral. He had scarce
ly reached the outside world before
there was rear and a cloud of dust
and smoke sprang up at the end of the
right aisle which is near the grear altar

BARONESS KILLS MAN.
MAGNATE SHOT DOWN IN HIS
OWN OFFICE.
Young French Widow Commits
Murder in Search for Supposed
Poisoner of Her Husband-Cubans
May Fight Us.

Baroness Anisia Louise de Massey,
strikingly pretty Frenchwoman OF 81,
who has been living at 81 West 3fn
street, New York, is a prisoner az po-
lice headquarters in that city, charged
with murder She is accused of having
shot down Gustav Simon, aged %, OF
ia East 56th street, wealthy owner of
the Queen Waist Company. The shoot
ing occurred at Simon's Office. He died
at St. Vincent's hospital. Behind the
shooting the police say is remarkable
story of a woman seeking revenge for
the mysterious death of her husband. a
French nobleman. The baroness main
tanned the most stolid secrecy as to any
motive. In fact, she calmly denies the
shooting, despite the fact of an alleged
eyewitness and that Simon with his dy-
ing breath accused her of the crime. The
Baroness de Massey comes of the noble
family of Du Vernon, which IS said to
be prominent in one of the French prov
inces. Her husband, Francois de Massey,
to whom she was devoted, diel suddenly
three years ago and the baroness had
reason to suspect that he had been poi
soned. She took up the trail the day
after he was buried. The police say she
had reason to believe Simon could help
her solve the mystery.

BIG CROPS AND CAR SHORTAGE.
Railroads Unable to supply Means
of TRANSFORMATION.


There has never been time, not sim
ply this year, but in any previous year,
when there was such pressing demand
for all the rolling stock that all the big
lines could muster, and that in service
able condition, says the Boston Tran
script. Our overwhelming national pro-
duction has apparently caught us I'M
awares. The West is complaining loud
ly, almost angrily, of car shortage, and
the railroads are confronted with the
heaviest responsibility in their history in
the task of moving crops. Prosperity does
not consist of abundance merely, but also
of facilities for moving and distributing
that abundance to the points where de-
mand awaits it in the quickest time and
at reasonable rates. But there are very
many embarrassing bitches in the present
situation, which has become so strained
that shippers are in some cases actually
charging the traffic managers with inau-
gurating an artificial car famine.
This, however, is not probable. We
cannot imagine any advantage, present or
prospective, likely to accrue to the roads
from a policy of having an excess of per-
ishable goods in the hands of producers
or shippers; but between the producer and
the carrier are a large class of merchants,
shippers and exporters, and they are the
men who are feeling the nervous and al
most panicky strain that comes from con-
gestion and delay. The roads all through
the West are operating their shops to
their fullest capacity to increase their
rolling stock, and this condition of affairs
emphasizes the fact that any considera-
BILE strike among carSnop men would be
particularly deplored at this time
A variant of this trouble is the diff
Guilty experienced by the Aroostook farm
ers in Maine in getting their potato crop
to market. The yield there is unprece-
dented, the estimate being 100000
bushels, but even with cellars and store
houses bullying, fear is entertained that
cold weather will come before the imper-
feet means of transportation can relieve
them. We can hardly hold the big lines
responsible for this state of things, but
it is none the less a minor manifestation
of the same general shortage. 1t probably
means, also, that railroad lines in north
ern Maine are becoming inadequate to the
development of that section.
