Jonas Horsford, lying on the roadside with
his head severed from the trunk, and about
ffty feet AWAY a woman by the name OF
Alice Charles badly wounded about the neck,
face and shoulder, and Adolphus Andrew IS
fine confessed murderer. 1t appears HAT the
three Inbourers were on then way to the
estate Charlotte Amalie, when a contention
arose between them, and Andrew, who was
Alice's reputed husband, slew Horsf9rd.
Death must have been instantaneous, and
tbe cutlass used must have been very sharp.
Andrew. who is a brutal looking blackman,
went TO the police station and gave himself

wounded woman is in hThBital and there VIII

TREE PLANTING
r.. n, pENOERGaST

| IL will soon be time to set out trees
and shrubs. | will say a few words
that may be Il help to some.
First, do not try to do anything
until the frost is out, and the ground
well warmed up. Then nature is ready
to do her Eart in maxim. yom efforts
successful.
Second, do not dig deep holes in
clay soil, for the surface water will
settle in the hole and as the roots
reach down to it they rot, and in a
few years You see your trees are not
doing well, and wonder what is the
matter with them.
! The depth of the hole should be,
for small trees and shrubs. IA to l6
inches; for larger trees, Is to "a in
ches. The clay is taken out in digging
the hole and should not he used in
setting the tree or bush. Good. sandy
loan with some black earth mixed i'm
makes a good soil. Small trees and
shrubs should be set deep enough so
as to have three of four inches of
~ tHt upEtl lOobS, ldISe trees
should have from six to eight inches
over them. Before setting all trees and
shrubs should be root -pruned. That is.
the ends of the roots should be cut
back until you come to green bark; a
sloping cut from the under side up
ward is the best: then the fine hair
roots have no trouble in starting out
all around the end of the root.
Put a little good soil in tie bottom
of the hole. set your tree in; have il
held upright while you spread out the
lower layer of roots and fill in as be-
fore, being careful to pack it in firmly
around the roots with your hands; and
so proceed till they are all covered,
then fill the hole with good soil. Then
hold the trees straight with one hand
and tread the earth down firmly be-
ginning at the outside of the hole;
then a little more earth, leaving it
loose and dishing from outside, so that
water will run to the tree; then a
mulching of stable manure, eight to
ten inches, reaching as far as out
side of hole; and so mulched, once a
week is often enough to wet the tree.
When trees are dug a large share
Of their roots are left in the ground.

balls of his feet. The real foot of an
elephant extends up some distance
from the ground. Like the "trotter''

full of gluten, and the flesh, if prop

something between pork and chicken.
From a freshly killed elephant the
foot is cut off at the ankle, and baked
in a hole in the ground which has pre-

The. hole must be red hot and a few
heavy stones left in the bottom. The

Two former Mankato Young ladies
are appearing in vaudeville with the
Lyric Stock company, which is holding
the boards at MankatO theatre this
week. They are the twin daughters OF
Mr.. and Mrs. f. j. Whipple. and have
been out for three months. but this is
their first appearance with a stock
company. They made good last night,
and have a bright future before them
on the stage.
The young ladies were born and rear
ed in Mankato, and have been gone but
a couple of years next September.
They displayed much talent while resi-
dents of this city and were frequently
called upon to take part in amateur
entertainments, and never failed to
please, and in their broader field will
no doubt give equal satisfaction. Both
have good voices and figures, am. are
so well received by their audiences that
their rapid advancement seems only a
question of a short time.

st. Paul, April 26.-Beginning July 2,
the state will extend protection to
users of gasolene, who have been at
the mercy of dealers regarding the
quality of the fuel oil they bought. The
new Fitzpatrick gravity test law goes
into effect on the date named. Under
it every barrel or tank of easolene of
fered for sale in the state must be in
spected by the state oil inspectors
deputies, and the specific gravity must
be stamped on each package.
The new law does not bar oils of low
gravity. from the state. but merely
gives the purchaser a chance to know
what he is buying. The test is also
extended to Kerosene. which heretofore
has only been tested for safety. by the
fire test. Kerosene will be given both
tests after July 2, and low grade oil
will be plainly branded for the protec-
ton of the public.
Some states have had gravity test
laws barring low grade oil entirely, but
this has not worked well and has caused
higher prices on oil. f.. j. Lynch. state
oil Inspector, does not believe the new
Minnesota law will have this effect
The inspection fee is small. only lC
cents IA barrel for both gasoiene and
Kerosene. The appropriation for in
spection was raised from 100000 to
$4,000, which, it is thought. will be
enough to hire the increased staff neces
sary to handle the work.
