The Campbell System.

The so-called Campbell system Of
soil culture that is attracting such
widespread attention throughout
western Kansas, Nebraska, eastern
Colorado and the panhandle of Tex
rs because of the marvellous results In
wheat, corn, potatoes, sugar beets and
fruit trees grown by this system dur
ing the last six years, and especially
the increased acreage of 19O4-5, have
now assumed the proportions of some
thing more than u mere pet theory.
Railway companies which operate
lines traversing the territory now
recognize and acknowledge that 1t
has been the principal factor In a vast
increase of tonnage, bringing In hum
dreds of new families who are build
ing up ideal and prosperous farm
homes. Although any of these rail-
road companies would have gladly en-
dorsed scientific soil culture twelve
years ago, when we first began, mp
pealing to them and the farmers, they,
like the farmers, were skeptical.
While they have waited, they have
watched; seeing is believing. As we
ride over these different railroads to-
day through this territory and note
the vast imnrovement of the many
old towns in their streets. sidewalks
and buildings, as we'll as the new and

WAS OVERCOME
IN HOTEL ROOM
Young Man Believed to be Alfred
Reid Had Narrow Escape in
ST. George Sunday Might.

A young man was found in the
New York Inn, at st. George, early
yesterday morning by the clerk of
the hotel, overcome by gas, and sup
posed to be Alfred Reid, who lives
with his brother-in-law, Edward Glib
SON., in Center street.
Mr.. Reid left his home Sunday
morning to visit his friend in New
York city, and 1t is supposed that he
missed the last boat from New York
to connect with the last train on that
night for this place and came over
to st. George and stopped at the Inn
over night, intending to take an early
train home. He retired about IL
O'Clock and left word with the clerk
to call him at G o'clock. With re-
peated knocks at the door and get
ting no response and detecting a
odor of gas, the clerk, with the as
sistance, burst in the door. Upon a
hasty examination they found one OF
the jets partially turned on and Mr..
Reid in bed unconscious. On ambul-
ance was called and he was removed
to the S. R. Smith Infirmary. Upon
examination a card was found In his
pocket with the name of ]. Alfred
Reid, photographer, Tottenville.
1t is supposed that in retiring he
did not properly turn off the jet.
Mr.. Reid is a young man of good
habits and is employed at the S. S.
White Dental factory in Princes and
also is an amateur photographer with
a studio in Bentley street.
Inquiries at the hospital late last
night said that he was resting as
comfortable as possible and would be
able to leave the institution in a few

Justice Degraw Was a Busy Man
Yesterday.
Justice Dcgraw was a busy man
from daylight until dark, for yester-
day he heard three trials and each
time hit the mark. Six men were
fined and paid the coin which made a
goodly sum, the price of all their
fighting which had made the borough
hum.
The busy official heard one case
yesterday morning, another yesterday
afternoon and a third last night. The
one yesterday morning was the after
math Of a fracas late Sunday night
in which n Polander was severely
cut about the eye at the hands of
three fellow-countrymen who board
ed at the same house. a bottle being
utilized as a weapon. One of the as
sailants was fined SIS, another, $40,
and another, So. The boarding boss,
who refused the officer admittance to
the house to arrest the men and
threatened, it is alleged, to harm
him, was also fined SIS. The fines
were all forthcoming. The officer,
when he was refused admittance to
the boarding house Sunday night,
waited outside until dawn yesterday
when he got the prisoners.
The cases yesterday afternoon and
last night were outgrowths of saloon
rows, in both of which windows had
been broken. A sa~loonkeeper and a
customer, who made counter charges
against each other, were both fined.
The other case, which was brought
about by a scrap in a saloon dance
hall Saturday night, was dismissed.

RRITTE AND MAN.

A man CD standing on Meinzer's

and put in up on his shoulders, then
he took 1t up by its forelegs and
swung 1t around and around several
times. laid 1t down and attempted to
pick 1t up again, seemingly by all of
It's legs, but the poor animal proba-
bly, resisted him for he no sooner got
his hands off of the dog and before 1t
had time to move, he put his foot
under him and sent him flying. He
proved himself more of a brute than
the dog, which knew enough not to
70 near him again, but when it pass
ed him afterwards kept its distance.

The borough after O'Clock Sun
day night was in total darkness. The
one solitary gas lamp in George street
cleaned out beautifully, but wher-
ever one went elsewhere darkness
reigned supreme as all of the electric
light were out. Those coming out OF

walking in some places rather diff
cult and one lady fell down. A young
man, when crossing over Second
street, took a short cut and fell over
some logs of wood in front of the
side of the Acme factory. He said
they were used for wagons to be
backed up on the walk, but they were
piled on top of each other and not
with the walk and he could not
see them in the darkness that pre-
vailed at the time and he had a bad
fall, cutting one of his knees and re-
ceiving some other bruises, besides
shaking up. We feel assured thai
