Wealthy Partisan Ends Banquet by
Blowing Out Brains While
Friends Look On.

PARIS. March 13.-Ferdinan Ravens a
wealthy young Partisan. committed suicide
at Monte Carlo under sensational circum-
stances.
The young man gave a supper to a num-
Der OF his friends. at which the pleasure
was fast and furious. Several times during
the evening Ravenez cried: This is moth
ing; a big surprise IL awaiting you at the
end" At dawn when the party were
separating Ravenez shouted Now for the
great surprise"
At the same time he arose abruptly and
walked toward the gypsy orchestra, which
was playing a Hungarian rhapsody. His
friends. expecting practical joke, watched
him expeotantly. They were stlpefiesss to
see him suddenly place pistol at his tesR-.
pie and fire. He fell dead.
The only reason for this act is described
as sheer boredom. Ravenez was only 20
years old and he had been familiar figure
on the Paris boulevards, where his liking
for vivid clothing attracted attention. Three
years ago the young man figured in a sem

Democratic Senators Are
Denounced by Party Leader

George Rogers, democratic boss and for

calls a spade a spade in denouncing Doug
las eounty's three democratic senators and
incidentally contributes some interesting
facts TO the history OF local democratic
politics.

quiet and not stirring up strife in the party

the very essence OF home rule and would

Petrosini went to Italy more than year
ago 10 work on a plan suggested by Police
Commissioner Bingham. the basis Of which
was to be the adoption Of means to check
the tide Of undesirable Italians and sioil-
ians to this country and particularly to
New York City. A private subscription
was started and $50 90 was raised. With
this to defray the expense OF the under
taking, Petrosini left for his native land
to establish bureaus through which IL
was hoped TO keep such complete records
that the news OF the departure from Italy
or Sicily OF any criminals could be flashed
to this country almost Immediately, so that
the authorities here could be on the alert
and prevent their landing, or place them
under arrest.
Petrosini was so accustomed to receiving
threatening communications and OF hearing
OF threats against his lifo that he paid
little attention to them. il Is said that
he had been warned against going to

opinion that the detective met death among
his countrymen as a direct result Of his
untiring efforts TO suppress the Malta. the

drastic crusade against them than has

My daily says a man in Chicago
has made 81, 100000 in the past ten

wheat, anyway? Can Judge Wilkin-
son grind it in his mills, does Wade

Ter testing it for yield and qualify,
and what kind of bread does it make?
One time a man told me that May
wheat was not wheat at all, but just
a name that lot of fellows have for
a gambling game, and if this is true,
the constable at Chicago ought to haul
that chap up before the squire and
have him fined and socked in jail for
six weeks on a charge of gambling.
Maybe the Chicago constable and the
squire and the rest of the people there
are all in one and the same game like
the councilman in Cincinnati who was
hauled up for keeping a gambling
den. The farmer who grows real
wheat, the miller who grinds it, the
baker who makes it into bread, and
the poor man who can only afford to
buy one nickel loaf at a time have
all helped to make up the million dol

RAISE PEACHES
BY DRY FARMING.
Texan Claims to Have Produced Fine
Crop Without Almost No Rain for
Three Months.

Elberta peaches the size of a tea
cup are reported by John NJ. Howell
of Parker County, Texas, who attrib-
utes his success as an orchardist to
the practice of dry farming methods.
In an interview, Mr. Howell stated
that his peach tree did not have a
drop of rain for three months prior
to the picking of his crop.
Dry farming or scientific soil cul
ture,' said Mr. Howell, will mean
great deal for our agricultural inter
ests. 1t is practiced successfully in
sections of the country that have far
less rainfall than we have in Parker
county and there is no question but
that it will do the work if the proper
methods are followed.
"On my orchard tract there has
been practically no rain for three
months. l broke the orchard land
between the trees in the spring with
disc harrow Since that time have
cultivated the soil both ways with a
section harrow every week and the
result has been astonishing. There
is fire dust mulch four to five inches
deep over the ground and the trees
are growing as nicely as if there had
been plenty of rain. The fruit has
grown and natures without rain and
is now ripening into as perfect speci-
mems as any one could desire. -
