Great Agony of Body.

Redding, Conn, April 22.-Samuel

He lapsed into coma at o'clock in

consciousness. 1t was the end of a
man outworn by grief and acute agony

little knot of anxious watchers at the
bedside. For long hours the gray,

lower and lower, but late at night
Mark Twain passed from stupor into
the first natural sleep he had known
since he returned from Bermuda and
in the morning he woke refreshed,
even family cheerful, and in full pos
session of all his faculties.
He recognized his daughter Clara,
Mrs. Ossip Gabriloyitch, spoke a ra-
tional word or two and. feeling him
self unequal to conversation, wrote
out In pencil: Give me my glasses"
They were his last words. Laying
them aside he sank first into reverie
and later into final Inconsistencies.
At the deathbed were only Mrs. Ga
brilovitch, her husband, Ossip Gabrilo-
witch, DR.. Robert Halsey, Dr. Quin-
tard, Albert Bigelow Paine, who will
write Mark Twain's biography, and the
two trained nurses. Restoratives-
digitalis, strychnine and camphor--
were administered, but the patient

DAMAGE IMMENSE
Cold Wave Destroys Vegetation
in the Northwest
LARGE SECTION is AFFECTED
Loss in Crops Estimated a
twenty-five Millions.

from Northeast Canada, flashing the
Great Lakes to fury and crossing the
Northwest states into the Central Mis-
sissippi valley with destruction to
early vegetation, the storm that began
Friday increased in violence on Sat
urday and continued until Sunday
morning, when it began to abate. Es-
Inmates OF damage running into many
millions are reported from the Dako-
tas, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and
the states further south. The early

souri, and Kansas as a result of the
blizzard. The situation in the North
west states may be summarized as
follows:
MINNESOTA - Probable damage
close to $5,OOO.000 from injury to early
blossoming fruit trees. Possible dam
age much greater, depending upon ex-
tent of injury to potatoes and corn
that was seeded early in some por-
tons Of Southern Minnesota. Re-
seeding probably necessary in many
cases.
Iows's Loss Very Heavy.
loWA-Damage estimated between
$S,000,000 and 100000 Cherry,
plum and apple trees in blossom badly
injured and the crop total loss in
many places. Early vegetables frozen
in some localities.
kANSAS-Estimated losses to early |
fruits and vegetables $50 1000, 900. Win |
ter wheat damage uncertain.
NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA |
Damage to fruits and vegetables prob
ably $1,000,000 SpriI wheat and |
early sown oats, barley and winter
rye crop affected, but not believed to
have been injured beyond possibility |
of recovery.
WlSCONSlN-The cranberry crop |
has probably escaped serious damage,
but losses in the state are placed at |
more than $1,0O0,000 to small fruits.
Early vegetables have been killed in |
many portions of the state.

DRY FARM LIVESTOCK.
Passing of Free Range Opens New
Industry.

While the passing of the. free range
is great grief to many who have en-
gagged in the livestock basiness-feF--a
generation, we may be consoled with
the certainty that for each head of
livestock kept under a strictly graz
ing regime, three or four may be bet
ter fed under tillage system, writes
a Montana authority in recent bulle-
tin on dry farm crops issued by the
experimental station of Montana Ag-
ricultural college.
Livestock are the concentrators for
marketing the many farm products of
a coarse character and low value in a
condensed and high priced form. They
greatly increase the revenue, reduce
the waste and distribute the labor of
the farm. They give a greater per-
Torrance to agriculture and prevent
the low tides of prosperity sure to at
tend strictly tillage system. A suit
able balance should early be made be-
tween the plant production and ami
mails of the farm, for only thereby can
production be continued in undimin-
ished degree.-Dry Farm Bulletin.

Hagerman Farmer Says Man Who
KneWs How Has Easy Job.

Patrick McCaffrey, agricultural edi-
tor OF the Hagerman Valley Sun, tells
his readers how to irrigate and be
happy at the same time. He says:
In travelling over the great North
Side tract one notices with pity the
awful attempts OF most eastern set
tiers O preform the simple trick Of
training water to run down hill,
known in this tailormade country as
irrigatink. You will see them up to
their knees In the mud and struggling
like toiltrained cross between a bea-
yer and galley slave, and all OF this
toll worse than wasted, for instead Of
improving their land-as the agency
of sanely applied irrigation should,
they are trying their best to run It
into brick pavement. All old timers
know that land when It is properly
prepared and bitches rightly con-
structed land this costs less than to
do 1t the wrong way) irrigating is one
of the pleasantest, cleanest and cas-
lest Jobs imaginable. Some children
and some very old men are the best r.
rigators we know Sc 1t Is not for the
old timers we write these hints, but
for the unfortunate who don't know
as much as we-if such there be.
First of all, never pillow your field
in solid square, that is, plOw all
around the field--but pillow it In lands
and the way you intend the water to
run. A good plan is to go to the foot
of your field and step on ten steps
from the line and there set stake
then presume your fence Is straight
step ten steps from the same line al

furrow when plowed Will be line
running parallel with and ten feet

your team to the right, or as farm
horses know, gee" When this land Is
completed it will be twenty feet
across. Then strike off another lane
/ thirty feet from the first Proceed as
before and when this land is twenty
feet wide you will have a strip I'M
plowed of twenty feet, then turn your
team to the left or s'haw" and wheI
! this strip is finished you will have
dead furrow" and this should be
plowed full by turning back the las
three or four burrows plowed, II this
plan is followed and narrowing ant

best possible shape to irrigate. Ther

Now survey your lateral or head ditcl
across the head of your field and give

your ground is inclined to wash ava,

Then, to apply the water on cult

rows, giving yourself always DIR.

Police Authorities Notified to Keep
Look Out.

Preston, Ida, June 9.-Stella O..
George, handsome young girl,
daughter OF E. d. George. station
agent OF the Oregon Short Line rail-
way of this place, has mysteriously
disappeared. She was last seen at
the depot here at $3.50 o'clock Satur-
day evening, just few minutes before
the south-bound train left the station.
Whether she deliberately left the
town or whether she was spirited
away or whether she has met with foul
play, Is not known, but her family are
inclined to the last two mentioned
theories
Miss Georges home life was pleas
ant; there was no friction, SO far as
known, and while she has stepmoth-
er, the relations between the two are
said to be of the most cordial charac-
ter. hence there Is little reason to be-
lieve that she would run away from
home.
The missing girl, Stella o. George,
will be 16 years of age In September.
She is between four feet ten inches
and five feet tall, weighs about 120
pounds, has medium light hair, dark
blue eyes, and light complexion When
she left home Saturday evening she
wore a light blue Bingham dress and
a bite bandana handkerchief apron.
She had nothing with her except the
clothes that she wore.
The family is distracted over her
disappearance, for there was, as is
said above, no cause for her disappear
ance. Any information that can be
had regarding her will be thankfully
received by the family.
Police authorities in neighboring
towns and cities have been notified
and today her brother-in-law left for
| Salt Lake with pictures of the missing
girl and asks the aid of the police
force of the capital city to aid If pos
sible in locating her.-Salt Lake Tri,
