able varieties of grapes to de-
velop the industry of wine making. He
travelled six months and brought home
more than 800 kinds of grapes new to
California. He wrote a book on his
investigations which still is authority
on the subject. In the literature of the
coast relative to grape growing Harasz-
thy is referred to as the father of
vinticulture. He was made president
of the agricultural society and was
much courted citizen.
But there lacked in this the spirit
of adventure. Accordingly he sold
his great vinyard in Sonoma and join
ed an expedition into Central America.
1t is said this was one of the many ad.
ventures into the turbulent country for
filibustering purposes. Whether or not
so, Haraszthy obtained extensive con.
cessions and at once began develop
ing large tract, with Corinto as the
base of his operations. Here on July 6,
1869, he attempted to cross a swollen
stream on his estate, fell in and dis
appeared. 1t is supposed he was de-
voured by crocodiles. The fearless
heart that had never lost a beat in
the face of disaster, went down the
victim of its own fierce, resistless
courage.
Agoston Haraszthy was a man of
unbounded impulses and all of them
were good and kindly. Generous, hos
pitable, magnanimous-to his owa
material ruin. A true friend, sim
cere patriot in whatever land his
activities led him, he left mis- mark in
Sank and Dane counties Wisconsin,
and was one of the worthless of early
California. And with all his doings he
never profited. A poor man from the
first, a poor man to the end, he &C.
complished great things for his fellows
during his day and generation. But
the element of ACKNOWLEDGMENT was
wholly wanting in his nature.

ALL RECORDS
FOR DEVOTION
GONE TO SMASH

Sioux City, Iowa, Aug. 18.-The
most remarkable story Of bigamy is
that Of John A. Kelly, who not only
accumulated three wives illegally, but
actually induced wife No. / to stand
up with him as witness at his mar
riage to No. 3. Not only this, but
wife No. /, in response to call from
her husband, went to the house and
nursed wife No. 3 through long Ill
ness back to health. She seems to
have done it all out of love for her
husband. The story was told to
Judge Page in police court, where
Kelly was brought on complaint of
his daughterin-law. His wife had no
thought of proceeding against him.
Mrs. Kelly No. / married her hug
band In 1872 at Rockford, III. The
two lived happily enough until few
years ago, when Kelly met and mar
ried Miss Alzora Carter at Nebraska
City, Neb. For this he was arrested
and sent to prison. When he finished
his term he returned to live with No.
l at Hamburg, Iowa. There he
met Miss Eva Scott, aged 10, courted
her and was accepted. Last month
they were married by Justice Hook
at Sidney, Iowa, and ten days ago he
brought wife No. to Sioux City.
Kelly was married under the name
of Thomas J. Strupper, which he as
sumed during the civil war when he
enlisted before the legal age. Mrs.
Kelly the wife Of thirty years stand.
ing, actually went to the court house
at Sidney TO act as witness to help
her husband secure a marriage IL
cense and ther went with him to the
justice and acted as a witness at his
marriage.
Not long after the marriage No. 3
became seriously sick. Kelly sent for
No. ! and she Loyalty cared for No.
3, with whom she seemed perfectly
contented TO share the affections OF
her husband.

FARM AND GARDEN
ventiIating Cow Barns.

The condition for the successful
ventilation of COW barn is that the
space or room ventilated must be
completely inclosed on all sides and
top so that no air can enter or escape
except through the fiues for that pur-
pose. The intake fiues should be rela.
lively small, and as well distributed
as possible, so that the fresh. cold
air as it enters may be yenly distribut.
ca. Ihese hues should open inwarlly
at or near the ceiling of upper part Of
the stable, and outwardly three feet
or more lower down, says the Prairie
Farmer. This indispensable in order
first, that the fresh air may not he
drawn off by the larger ventilating
shaft as it would be if they opened it
inwardly at or near the floor, and
second, If they passed directly through
the wall at the ceiling, the warm air
would pass out through them. Warm
air will not descend, hence the outer
opening should be lower than the
inner opening. The discharge flue or
ventlating shaft should have a cross
section of four square feet 1.-TWO nv
by two, or one by FOUR for each "a
head of stock; should be practically
alright throughout the whole length.
and rise well above the highest point
OF the roof and extend down to tbe
moor, with an opening like a ,re-place
at the bottom for use in cold weather.
ana another just under the ceiling to
draw off the hot air in summer The
intake fiues for fresh air should be
sunlcient In size and number so that
thei" aesregate capacity win be near
ly equal to that of the ventilating
staff.
