Dubuque. Aug 10.-While on a spree
and following quarrel with his wife.
Manhard Grant, q fisherman, resld-
ing eight miles down the Mississippi
river, attempted to hurl his infant on
the railroad track at Dubuque last
night. The mother rescued the child
from in front of an approaching train
in the Mich of time. The couple had
quarreled. Later Grant fled from the
police by jumping into the harbor and
defying the police officers until he be-
came exhausted and then he came
ashore and was arrested.
AS nearly as the story can be learned
the wife of the man, who is a fish
erman and lives on an island below
Frentress Lake, had been waiting with
her baby for her husband in the office
of the Beriner Hof, a hotel on the
railroad tracks at the foot of First
street.
The superstition is that when he
finally appeared, she began to upraid
lllIl lOT having SOl lIlo iliS SoiiuIlipii
in which he presented himself to her
and becoming infuriated the father
grabbed the infant from its mother
and was just about to dash 1t onto
the track before the approaching train,
it is said, when the Mortified screams
of many persons who saw the deed
stopped him.
Hardly had the train Numbered past
when the man, who seemed to be be-
side himself, made dash across the
railroad tracks. and rushing down the
steep bank to the waters edge,
plunged into the harbor two officers
and a crowd of men in close pursuit.
Grant was finally fished out after a
half hours effort, and was taken to
the police station. In police court
a charge of intoxication was preferred
against him and he was released upon
paying his fine.
Indignation Was Rife.
As many as a dozen persons wit
messed the incident of the childs SEN
sational escape from the jaws of death
and so heated was the feeling among
them, that 1t is possible Grant might
have been roughly handled had he not
leaped into the river thus creating
additional excitement and causing the
full meaning of the other experience
to be forgotten for the moment.

Damage in Vicinity Of Waterloo Can
not be Estimated Yet.
Special to Times-Republican.
Waterloo, Aug, 10.-Considerable
damage to growing crops, especially
corn. was done in this vicinity by the
heavy rain and wind, Thursday. Farm
ers who have beeni in the city have
stated that a large area of corn is
bent over, while a great amount is
broken nearly in two near the ground.
It is expected that the stalks bent and
flattened down will straighten up some
and the corn mature all right, but the
stalks broken any will remain down
and the ears on them will be of little or
no value Especially is this true in
portions of Eagle township. while In
Mt. Vernon township damage from hail
is reported. There are places where
the ears Of corn are broken from the
stalk and others where the leaves are
stripped off clean.

Alfalfa for the Dairy Herd

Calves grown on alfalfa devel- op rapidly and are ready to be- come mothers earlier than when developed on other foods. Preg- nant COWS fed alfalfa come in strong and well nourished bear ing full udders. Milking cows fed alfalfa hay as a part of their ration give milk as with no other possible combination. Alfalfa leaves are a little richer in pro- tein than wheat bran; alfalfa stems cut early and nicely cured are nearly as digestible as wheat bran and nearly as palatable.
 Thus alfalfa may well take the place of a large part of the grain ration, and may be made to form nearly the whole of the needed protein. The writer has himself sent alfalfa hay to a gentleman milking one of the best herds of Guernseys in America, animals fed as well as science and skill could devise and had word after ward that the addition of alfalfa hay to their ration made an in- crease in milk yield of twenty per cent.

To Be Sentenced To-Day

The second trial of Andreas Ramirez in the Superior court was held this week. This is the case of the Mexican who was ac- cused of larceny, and was tried last week, the jury failing to agree.
 In the secoud trial the case went to the jury Wednesday evening, and they were not only about fifteen minutes, when they returned and rendered a verdict of guilty. Judge Cole received the verdict of the jury and set Saturday at 10 a. m. as the hour and day for passing sentence upon the prisoner.
 A land case occupied the atten- tion of the court Thursday; Jno. s. Fashion vs L. B. Stephenson. The plaintiff in the action seek ing to dispossess the defendent of a piece of land. In many ways the case was similar to that of the Groshen case. BORN-To MT. and Mrs. R. H. Poftis,

The Value of Testing Cows

J. Hugh Mckinney, of Corinth, Ont, in writing the Tribune Farmer on the above subject fur nishes the following significant fact:
 A young man in Ontario started in five years ago with a herd whose re- turn was about 4,0OO pounds a COW. He kept records and weeded out the worst ones, and the result was that last year he made over 5000 pounds a cow. Such contrasts show how imperative it is to weed out the poor COWS.
 There is a large sermon preached in small space in that paragraph. If we should offer to sell receipe that increases the milk returns of a herd of cows one hundred per cent in five years, hundreds of farmers would be willing to buy it at a large price. Well there it is, and not a cent is charged for it. The only drawback is that it re- quires a little intelligent energy to carry it out.
