BOLD ATTEMPT IS MADE
 TO LIBERATE KlDNAPER

Mercer, Pa. April 22.@The Mercer county auth critics are greatly worried tonight over an alleged attempt of James H. Boyle, the Whitla kidnaper to commit suicide and later 6 well planned attempt on the part of supposed friends on the outside to liberate the prisoner from the jail here. While both aHalrs were frustrated, their successful con clusion seems to have been averted by the narrowest margin.
 Late this afternoon it was learned that early yesterday morning Boyle suddenly became H. He was found lying on the floor of his cell in con vulsions. Doctors worked until late last night when his condition improved. EX-

Reform at French Lick.

Indianapolis. April 22.-The state board of education. at last satisfied that the people of French Lick, Ind, have been converted from the gambling spirit. today Issued Its certificate of approval to the h gh school of the town. Heretofore the certificate has been withheld because the board was advised that the high sch ool students habitually gambled, that most of them carried dice or cards in their pockets and that the school auth critics and the students families had not taken effective re- formative steps because they were used to gambling at the big French Lick and West Baden resorts.

STATEWIDE BILL PASSED
 BY FLORIDA LAWMAKERS

there was wild rush for the hall of the lower house, where the opposing factions have taken up positions which they de- clare they will not vacate until the vote on the bill is recorded in that body
 The McMullin bill is identical with tne Hilburn bill in the house and when It comes up in the lower house a motion will be made to substitute the senate Dill for the house bill, and it is possible that q vote will be reached this week.
 The bill provides for the submission or the question of statewide prohibition to the qualified voters of the state at the general election to be held in November 1911.
 When the McMullin bill reached the house this afternoon it was immediately referred to the house committee oN con stjtutional amendments.

 A few minutes after last midnight an attempt to liberate Boyle failed on account of the prisoners illness At that hour guards found a 20-foot ladder in position at a window in Boyle's cell. The supposition Is that the men who were to free Boyle climbed this lad der and then found his cell empty, the prisoner being in the jail hospital be- cause of illness. That Boyle is mak = ing every effort to escape Is indicated by a letter found on his person ad- dressed to Sharon, in which he de- scribed to parties not generally known the best way to effect his liberty. It is alleged Boyle wrote this letter some time ago, but could find no way to mail it.

'He breeds draft-horses, and does
farm work with brood-mares and

"He has library with periodicals
and standard works, and a musical
instrument.
"He keeps improved stock which

Earth In a Culver.

Prof. G. II. Darwin, son of the great
Darwin, in recent lecture in London
confirmed the discovery of the Ger
man astronomer, Hecker, that there
are tides in the earth's crust itself
similar to those of the ocean, but very
much less, of course. In other words
the earth's crust moves up and down
one-third as much as If it was liquid
throughout. In the latitude of Lon
don, the speaker said, the vertical rise
and fall was from 4 to 5 inches daily
For six years, Prof. Hecker worked
day and night, inside of o chamber
cut inside of well, so feet deep, and
discovered this regular undulation OF
the earth's crust and at the same
time he learned that the earth itself
was about as stiff as steel through
out. 1t does not seem that the patient
professor has evolved any theory from
this interesting fact, or to illustrate
with it, any phase of the cosmical
evolution. That will probably come
after. 1t is quite sufficient to know
now, that the earth is steel bubble
that is constantly in culver.

Pies and Profits.

When Solomon Andrews died at his
Cardiff home in England not long ago
he left a fortune of $750,000-which
in Cardiff is looked upon as mighty
estate. Solomon Andrews was the
prince of piemen. His pies were meat
pies and Solomon peddled them from a
tray. They were good pies, made on
honor, and Soomon's trade increased.
AS custom came to him he invested
in horse and cart-but he didn't let
increased expenses affect the standard
of his pies. In time he added a bake
shop, and then people came to him
for the pies, and the peddling cart be-
came a delivery wagon. A confec-
tionery department still further in
creased his trade, and later on he
branched out in varied mercantile di-
rections. He became a commercial
Pooh Bah, being in later years not
only baker and confectioner, but
also bus line owner, tailor, an un.
dertaker, cab proprietor, restaur'
ant keeper and coal mine owner
We are told that in each of these
lines of trade he proved successful.

Poor Lo, the Indian.

The bureau of Indian affairs Is en-
deavoring to save the Indian. The
menace which 1t is fighting is tuber.
culosis. Unless this is successfully
fought, the race will follow the buffalo
into utter extinction. While the In.
dian roamed free in his hunting
grounds, living in the open air, and
taking the storms as they came, he
was safe from the white plague, but
when he was subjected to the pains
and penalties of civilization, he be-
gan to suffer, his people to decrease.
The bureau contemplates a scheme
Of education, in the way of sanitation.
personal cleanliness, and preventive
measures, and by this way it is hoped
to cut down the frightful death roll
that has been increasing year by
year. 1t is said the Indians are dy-
Ing off this now of this malady at the
rate Of a thousand year, and this
number is increasing, so that in few
years Poor Lo will be no more. The
bureau takes its stand on the hui
manity side Of the proposition. but
still, there is something romantic in
the idea of letting the Indian live on.

then the management should be ap-
proximately as stated below.
The rams should be confined to a
stable or shed having at the same
time access to paddock. They
should be fed good hay and some
good green food such as rape or cab
bage. They should get in addition
from one to two pounds grain per
day, according to the service exacted
of them, and an ample water supply.
Half the grain by bulk may be CON-
posed of bran, the other half being
almost any kind of grain, but pre-
ferably oats or wheat.
The ewes should be driven to a
yard, say in the morning. The ram
turned In with them will soon single
out the ewes in season. These
should be kept in till the next day.
After the season of service is over.
the grain ration given to the ram
should be gradually reduced, but II
is usually not wise to withhold grain
altogether during the winter. Ram
lambs want 1t to further development
and old rams to sustain yield.-Pro-

Flowing Under Green Crops.

My experience in trying to improve
land by plowing under green forage
crops leads me to believe that unless
we make wise selection of crops to
be turned under our work is often
done at loss. To be of value the
crop that is plowed under must be
one that obtains large percentage
of its plant food from the atmosphere,
either directly or indirectly, or else
one that has a deep roofing system
and brings up much of it's plant food
from below the depths reached by
the plow.
Any plant that obtains all of its
food from the top soil adds nothing
to the fertility of the land when
plowed under, except that it may in
some land make the soil more pro-
ductive by improving it's texture or
mechanical condition.
Red clover we have found espec-
Tally adapted for this purpose. 1t
and other members of the legume
family are, in my opinion, the only
plants we can afford to use in the
work of improving our soils.
The clover and legumes alone can
not maintain soil fertility, but when
they are rotated with other farm
crops, and where these crops are fed
to live stock and the manure saved
and returned to the field, they make

Differences in Dairy Salts.

The leading brands seem to be,
none of them, wanting in the main
nstituent-chloride of sodium
for the chemical ANALYSES of ten
brands show that a variation of only
LOS per cent. in the quantity OF
salt present the difference between a
maximum of 98.52 per cent. and a
minimum of 97.47 per cent. Surely
there is enough clear salt In any of
these samples to make one as good as
another If there were no other in
gradients, and II there was nothing
in the granular formation of one
brand to give it superiority over an
other. Some of the other substances,
even in the small quantities in which
they exist, vary five per cent. The
most Objectionable matter in salt is
chloride of calcium, which is found
only in the Onondaga, and to the
presence of which may be attributed
the milky appearance of solutions of
that salt. Sulphate Of lime, which is
found more largely in foreign than
in domestic brands, is Objectionable,
If found in large quantities, but there
is not enough found in any leading
brand to have any effect. To the
other ingredients separately no seri-
Gus objection is made in view of the
very small percentage in which they
exist. We must believe, however,
that in combination they all help to
produce certain chemical results,
which more or less affect the flavor
of butter. From all these facts I am
forced to conclude that there are es-
sential differences in dairy salts, and
that the actual superiority between
the best makes depends more upon
the character of the foreign SUBJ
stances present, and upon the texture
and grain of the salt and the process
by which that grain is formed, than
it does upon the mere percentage Of
chloride of sodium in any given guam
tity.-Weekly Witness.
