NEW CROPS I'm THE VALLEY.

Pembina Pioneer Express: This has
been a corn year in this vicinity.
George Corbet and w. B. Hancock
have brought in some very nice
specimens this week. Both have
quite large fields of Northwestern
Dent corn which is fully matured
with well-flled ears averaging about
nine or ten inches long,, This corn
was planted about June : 10th and
was ripened on September list. It is
doubtless the best sortsspf field corn
to plant, In this country, Mr.. Han
cock also raised. some Yellow Flint
that Is mature and has 4 inch ears.
Mr.. Corbet also brought us - stalk
OF fodder corn that ID over III feet
high and has big ears. but the lat
ter are just about mature enough
for roasting ears. August Short
threshed Is bushels Of buckwheat
this season and says 1t made a
strong growth, and thinks It will be
an excellent weed smotherer. An
other farmer, whose name we do not
recall, has raised nearly a thousand
bushels Of field peas and made fine
profits on the carload he shipped.
Glover Il reported as doing fine all
over the county this year, and fav-
CRADLE reports are made Of the few
alfalfa fields Thus the problem Of
what We shall do with the weeds is
being gradually worked out BY our
intelligent farmers. VI.

ESTRADA ARRAIGNS zELAYA.
Proclamation Issued by the RevO.
Iutfonary Lender

New York. Oct. 22-The text Of the
proclamation issued by Gen. Juan J.
Estrada, the revolutionary President Of
Nicaragua, has reached this country. It
contains bitter arraignment of Presi-
dent Zelaya II says:
Under the protection Of the ideals OF
heroic people. Gen. Jose Santos
Zelaya rose TO power, and. migrate and
inconstant, he sought on the very follow
ing day to undo those who represented
the most advanced principles Of law and
liberty. From 1896 till to-day his over
bearing and despouc character has de-
veloped in such manner that to-day
he is not restrained by the most rlIdi-
mentary rights Of citizenship or by the
conscience which shudders at iniquity. or
70 say ii at once, by respect even for
the property Of the nation, which he has
made his own and which he has disposed
Of as any farmer disposes of his own
possessions.
'Zelaya has subjected all to the ca
price Of his will and his Unsuitable avar-
Zoe, breaking the constitution and the
laws with a recklessness which causes
horror; and in the form OF monopolies
and concessions imposed with striking
GOODNESS he has checked the natural and
written right OF citizens from that OF
freely passing without obstacles through
the country 20 the indispensable one Of
freely toiling for subsistence. Zelaya has
raised robbery TO the category OF q prin-
ciple Of government. and 1t has been for
the last ten years the only number on his
administrative programme.
'Monopolies OF tobacco, OF liquor, Of
treasury paper. of navigation on the
lakes and in the rivers. concessions Of
butchering, OF fishing. Of rubber. mines.
pearls, salt, horrible defalcations in the
public treasury, foreign and interior loans
formulated in the name Of the nation for
his own purposes, the custom-houses
free to his accomplices, and a thousand
other infamies which have exhausted the
strength Of Nicaraguans. grievously par
alyzed the national progress and extin-
guished all that may be right, ideal, or
liberty"

MURDERED FOR THEIR GOLD
Couple Killed and House Fired to
Hide Crime,
Medley, w. Va, Excited Over Find
Ing of Bodies OF Mother
and Son.


Special to The Washington Herald.
Cumberland. Nd. Oct 22.-The South
Branch Valley Of the Potomac River is
ahame with excitement over a supposed
double murder at Medley. W. Va. forty
four miles south OF Cumberland. in which
the mutilated and charred bodies OF a
woman and a man. mother and son. were
dragged from burning building.
Last midnight neighbors saw the house
occupied by Mrs. Edward Reid and her
son. Croker Reid. in flames. After hard
fight the FIRE was extinguished. and a
search was then made for the occupants
Of the building. The body Of Croker Reid.
with his head missing. was found in the
burned hallway. and the charred body Of
the mother was found where her bed
was located in her sleeping room.
A search Of the premises for evidences
OF murder revealed bloodstains leading 10
the barn. where the young mans hat WAS
found with the crown mashed in. as
though made by some instrument
The theory is that the couple were
murdered for robbery, and that the house
was fired to hide the crime. 1t is be-
lieved that the young man was killed
