Forage and Pastures.

The fact that forage can be produced
cheaper, In greater variety and also in
greater abundance in the south than
IN other sections and the further fact
tnat pastures may be provided the
greater part of the year should have
an important influence on the develop
ment OF the dairy industry in this Sec
ton. 1t is as easy for the southern
dairyman to grow two crops of forage
each year on bis tillable land as 1t is to
grow one crop in the north.

His Fate

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, May 3d.
The supreme court, sitting en- banc, late
this afternoon declared that Lord"
Frederick T. Seymour Darlington, now
in jail at Clayton, Mo, shall be hanged
on July 25, for the murder of j. P. Nc
Cam, st. Louis horseman.
Lord" Frederick Seymour Barring
ton went to st. Louis in 1902, He posed
as a British colonel on detail to pur-
chase mules for the army in South
Africa, and special British representa-
tive to the Louisiana Purchase ex-
position. Supposing Miss Wilhelmina
Grace Cochrane of Kansas City was an
heiress, he married her and was re-
pudiated by his bride.
For a time he was very lavish with
money. harrington went to live at the
Leland house with James Mccain and
his wife. On June IS, 1908, he enticed
McCann to a lonely spot, and his dead
body was found floating in a deserted
quarry pool. After this Darlington re-
turned to the McCann home and an
nounced that he would run the hotel
thereafter. 1t was supposed that the
wife was accessory to his deed.

the one hand on governing themselves
and on the other hand on doing exact
justice to the railways.
Duty of Magnates
Let the big railroad men scrupulous-
ly refrain from any effort to influence
politics or government save as II Is
the duty of every good citizen in leglt-
innate ways to try to influence politics
and government; let the people as a
whole, in their turn, remember that IL
is their duty to discriminate in the
sharpest way between the railway man
who does we'll and the railway man
who does i'll; and, above all, to remem-
ber that the irreparable moral harm
done to the body polite by corruption
is Just as great, whether the corrup-
ton takes the form of blackmailing
big corporation or of corruptly doing
it's bidding.
what we have to demand in our
selves and in our public servants Is
honesty-honesty to all men; and II we
condone dishonesty because we think
it is exercised in the interests of the
people, we may rest assured that the
man thus showing it lacks only the
opportunity to exercise 1t against the
interests of the people"
