 Followed by a Suicide.

Muscatine Ia, March f.-Urey Jones. on trial here for the murder of MT. and Mrs. William VanWinklc, on December 2, 1907, hanged himself in his cell between midnight and o'clock this morning.

 The prosecution had finished the introduction of it's testimony in the case yesterday and Jones was sup posed to take the stand today in his own defense. The. murder was an exceptionally cruel one.

FRENCH METHODS OF
 ORCHARD SMUDGIHG
A Plan That Might Be Worth Consid erine by American Horticulturists.

From the following account of the means taken to protect the vineyards of France from the dangers of late spring frosts.' written by Consul D.. | Murphy of Bordeaux. it is evident that the French fruit grower has very similar troubles to those which con front the fruit men of this country Smudging has been resorted to by us for many years past, and with more or less success. The invention spoken Of by MT. Murphy is unknown in Cal hornia, and would seem from the de- scription to be superior to our meth ods.
 The process, the invention of MT Edouard Lestout of Bordeaux, consists in filling small wooden boxes, open at the top. with an inflammable compost ton consisting of a mixture of equal parts of resinous with earthly matters tclay, terra alba, and the like) reduced to a fine powder, and pressed into a compact mass. Tn the center a wick extends through the compound and serves to kindle it. The wick. how ever, may be dispensed with and the composition ignited by pouring a few drops of alcohol. petroleum or other inflammable oil over the mass. and applying a match. These boxes. about eight inches long by six wide. made of pine wood ordinarily, are placed in line, about thirty feet apart, around certain areas say of fifty acres
 So far as grape vines are concerned the most dangerous period of the year is in April, when the young shoots are showing some vigor and the juices running freely. Then a slight frost may mean disaster unless the plants are protected in some way. There is but little danger when dark or cloudy morning follows a cold night. The trouble comes when the first rays of the morning sun strike the almost frozen and unprotected plant. Rapid Reorganization is sure to follow. cases being known here where entire vine- wards have been so destroyed. By the Lestcut process a dense cloud Of smoke is produced. hanging over the vineyard long enough to protect the plants from the suns rays and give them a chance to recuperate from the dangerous effects of the frost.
 The composition in the boxes to WlndWard only is ignited, the thick, ! black, heavy smoke hanging over the Held forming a shield against the suns l rays If it is desired to extinguish | the fires it is only necessary to have an open box a trifle larger than the l others. by means of which the flames | are quickly smothered. It is claimed | that the protection of fifty acres by | thls method of producing smudges can be achieved at an expenditure of two ] dollars.
 The inventor declares also that his | process may be used for masking the l movements of an army. hiding the | erection of field works, etc: also as a i ram producer. and even for driving | or grassh'TUers and locusts.
 Ine process has shown to have . merit in the protection of vineyards. | used with advantage by American . lrult Nlne growers and horticulturists. ! Town and Country Journal.

in north Texas that are terminals Of lines from Kansas City and St. Louis. Such a road. taken in connection with the road constructed from Tampico to the City of Mexico, will reduce the distance to the City of Mexico from St Louis and other points in the States about three hundred and twen- ty-five miles. This, of course. will give that road the call on passenger traffic. for it would mean saving of eight to ten hours on the journey to the City of Mexico. The building of these international bridges will make certain the formation of a new trans continental railroad system, north and south.

that were regarded stronger by the salesman. Best fed steers from Okla homa are selling today at s6 to s6.40, and a shipment of heifers from Mem phis Texas, brought S5.1O first of last week. before the rise in the market became effective. Most of the vest ern COWS have sold lately at s4 to S4.S0. some thin cows at $3.75, stock heifers from the range country at s3.25 to $3.75 stockers and feeds, $4.25 to s5.25 calves from s4 to s7. Dealers believe that the good prices will re- main. as no very heavy runs are ex pected. and the demand is broadening a little each week.
 Sheep and yearlings advanced 15 to

lambs at $6.9O: wethers up to s5-S0 to- day. and 9O-pOund ewes at $5.4O No yeariings were included. but light weight yearlings are worth up to S7.15; heavier weights around S6.25. Trade in feeding grades is light. account of small supply of that class. Prices steady with a week ago.

The Democrat has received the first
issue Of PeHsacola's new weekly paper,
The Record, J. H. Hamilton, editor,
and a perAsal of its columns shows it to
be something decidedly and refreshing
" novel in Florida journalism. The
Record is absolutely Independent in
politics and all other questions and viii
be free lance IN the field of eontrO-
versy, guided only by the conscience
and judgement of its editor. On the
question of the liquor traffic the Record
has very pronounced views, believes IN
strict saloon regulation and is stOutly
opposed to prohibition bylaw. The pa
per will also have distinctly literary
features in the way Of good stories by
local authors, and in a metropolitan
and cosmopolitan community like Pen
sacOla a publication 50 versatile and
out of the ordinary has a f9ld rich in
promise and its future looks bright.
Mr.. Hamilton is an old citizen Of Pen
sacOla, an experienced Newspaper man
and most agreeable gentleman deeply
sincere in his convictions. and with the
courage to express them, and if he is
given the patronage to sustain him in
his venture, he will do his part and fur
nish the people Of his city and section
with clean and able and interesting
paper, and not the less so because it is
Independent in all things and neutral
in nothing"

second prize Of $40. Both editors are
In the nOnpsreil class and it is not sur
prising that they won in such a cOmpe-
tition. We are curious to know what
they will do with such an immense
amount Of ready cash coming upon
them all in a heap with this bewildering
suddenness, and in the midst of their
joyous agitation while their minds are
yet Seething with alf-formed plans for
laying out their wealth to the best adj
vantage, we beg them to remember
the noble maxim Of the great and good
Carnegie that he who dies rich dies dis
graced. If we could meet them at the
Tampa fair and steer 'em up agin Sir
Edward Lambright, Bart, and Others
Of the nobility in our set down there
we would cheerfully undertake to send
'em both home in such state of fnan-
cial palsy and decrepitude that if old
Andy could see them he would declare
with joyous tears in his eyes that he
had witnessed his fairsst ideal of tOtar
poverty following hard upon the bene.
factions Of great wealth and he would
adopt it as a model in his own case.

No President Of the United States
ever shriveled so rapidly in moral stat
ure, and almost visibly to the naked
eye, as has Roosevelt in his effort to
stain the honor and integrity of Sena-
tor Tillman in the matter of the latter's
purely personal and private negotiation
for a small body of public land in Ore
gon by strict compliance with the Gov
eminent law. Roosevelt hates TiTman
intensely, and from motives of maIip-
nant personal spite he has used his
great Office to set spies upon the Sena-
tor and ms private transaction and
even ransack his desk by stealth to Sc
cure letters with the hope of proving
that Tillman had improperly used his
public functions to promote his private
interests in the land deal Mr.. Till
mans reply to ROOsevelt's charges,
made IN the senate last Monday, was a
complete vindicatiOn of the integrity Of
ms motives in the land deal and left no
shadow Of suspicion upon his honor as
a senator. But it did leave Theodore
Roosevelt in the shameful attitude Of q
convicted slanderer from motives that
would be discreditable othe mean little
soul Of a bar-rOOm bum.
