LOSS OF SOIL

Rye a. Good.

On many farms where the land Is
hilly or only slightly rolling there Is
often a great annual loss of good soil
through erosion. There are several
ways Of preventing this waste.
Where the general surface soil of
land washes away Il Is well to keep
the land in pasture. meadow or some
crop the roots OF which win bind the
surface soil together. II the field Is
lltivated In summer. a crop OF rye
wn early in the fall will AFFORD win
protection. This rye crop may be
rned under In early summer for
Pen manuring and the formation OF
! humus. which TO a certain extent
ii prevent erosion.
Where a crop OF corn Is grown on
ashy land. II Is best to u none OF II

aiks on the ground. II there are no
%cilities for ~pasturing the stalks when
e corn Is gathered. then the stalks

should be dragged down Just as soon
as the stock have cleaned the best

ground during the winter and spring
months catch and hold the soil from

and In this position they quickly
soften and decay.

The program for the home coming

former citizens.
The program for the event Is as fol-

preaching at 1890 o'clock, by the pas
tor and the reading of letters receiv-
ed from former citizens, who could not
be present. In the afternoon SYM

Within six months the county will
have worked out the plans for the care
OF the insane along lines suggested by
Amos Butler, secretary of the state
board of charities and corrections, as
the county commissioners decided yes
terday upon a visit to the county poor
farm to remove the six insane women,
now confined at the Home for Friend
less, South Tenth street, to the infirm-
ary. A local architect will also begin
Immediately to draw up plans for the
construction Of suitable quarters at
the poor farm, which will be adequate
for the housing of the insane male and
female wards of the county.
A superintendent will be employed
to care for both the male and female
insane. The county will also give
medical attention which will equal
that given at the state insane institu-
tions.
All Were Pleased.
Besides the county commissioners.
Judge Fox of the circuit court; Walter
Commons, president Of the county
council, and Joseph Commons. repre-
sentative Of the board of charities and
corrections, with a local architect were
present. The county officials were
much pleased with the proposed change
in the quarters Of the insane women,
likewise the intention of the board to
build an insane ward at the poor farm.
The cost for the insane ward will not
be great, as the commissioners are ad
vised the state will be able to care for
the insane within the next six months
thus making small quarters entirely
adequate. Col. Wiley estimated the
amount to be spent at 5000. but it
will depend entirely on the architects
estimate. Following the submitting
of the architects estimate. the county
council will have a called meeting to
allow an appropriation, which will bs
recommended by the commissioners.
The residents near the county Jail
and Home for Friendless will be much
pleased by the official action. The
peace Of these two communities is oft.
en- disturbed by the noise OF the insane
patients.

Six Soldiers Are Known to
Have Been Injured in Lat
est Outrage Occurring in
Old Barcelona.
INCIDENT INFLAMEO
THE REvOLUTIONISTS
Military Patrols Have Been
Fairly Successful in Pre-
venting the Formation Of
Any Big Crowds.
(American News Service)

(American News service)
Barcelona, Oct. 16.-Another bomb
explosion, in which several were injur.
ed, today inflamed the smouldering dis
content that has been kept down since
the execution of Francisco Ferrer, only
by the rigid enforcement of martial
law.
Six soldiers are known to have been
injured In the latest outrage. 1t Is
probable that several revolutionists a..
SO suffered, but were taken away by
their friends in the excitement of the
moment.
Military patrols have been fairly sue
cessful in preventing the formation OF
crowds, but there have been clashes be-
tween the people and the police, and
many have been injured.
Arrest Dangerous Man.
Bonaventure, one of the victims Of
the most important bomb outrage,
died today. Among the arrests that
have arisen from the outrage, the po-
lice have one man who is said to be
the most dangerous OF the radical lead
ers.
The troops are under orders to ride
down without mercy any manifestants.
These orders have SO far been carried
out with mo sign Of hesitancy on the
part of the soldiers, In spite OF the sto-
ries Of discomfort in the ranks.
A company at least, is stationed in
front Of every church. every public
building and the residence Of every
ecclesiastic and high government Off
cial. Furtice moves have been made
on several Of the churches, but the
troops have succeeded in holding the
mobs in check, sometimes only by fir
ing on them.
Streets Are Camps. ..
Montjuich fortress, where Ferrer was
executed, is the headquarters of the
military now. The reinforcements
that have been sent to the city in the
last few days have been quartered
there and the streets about the prison
have been turned into camps
The funeral of the teacher whose
death has stirred all Europe has been
delayed by the authorities as 1t is
feared that demonstrations will follow
any attempt to carry the coffin
through the streets. There are re-
ports in circulation today, but unveri-
fled, that the body has been taken to
the civil cemetery already, at night,
and quietly buried.
The attitude of the government,
however, does not indicate such a
course has been or is likely to be fol
lowed. The government is holding the
people in check with an iron hand,
and it's attitude is marked with inso-
lence. 1t is probable that when the
school teacher goes to his grave, the
body will be carried openly through
the streets under force heavy enough
in the opinion Of the government, to
over-awe the public.
