SHALL STREET BE
 PLACED UNDER CONTROL OF WARNER, LAvERY,
 KING AND MONOPOLY?

Among the policies" which have the approval of Messrs. War ner. King and Lavery, is one which provides for the entire con- troI of the streets through man to be brought in from outside, who shall hold the combined of- flee of city engineer and director of public works.
 This policy" to which Coroner Wilson has also subscribed, can not be made effective without an act of the General Assembly.
 This is fortunate, for the pro- posal is nothing more than an im- pudent proposition to give the public service interests an abso- fute control of the streets, through an officer whom they will select
 The streets of Bridgeport are not as good as they should be- Too little money is expended up- on them and the gas, water and electric light monopolies, and es- pecially the trolley monopoly, are continually tearing them up.
 But the streets will be worse that they are now, and not bet ter, if they are given into the tender mercies of Warner, King, Lavery and the public services.

CANADA'S IMMENSE
WHEAT FIELDS
The ATTRACTION FOR THREE
TRANscoNTINENTAL RAIL
WAYS.

Last August there visited the Cana.
dian west the vice-president OF the
largest individual hardware company
In the United States. As his firm have
a turnover Of millions, and deals ex-
tensively with farm implements, this
man took a deep interest in crop con-
ditions In Canada, and on his return
he embodied his findings in an article
for the Hardware Reporter This ar
ticle should be Of special interest to
| farmers.
The writer speaks OF the importance
OF the spring wheat crop of Western
Canada. He might also have spoken
OF the Importance of the oat crop and
also OF the winter wheat crop, as well
as barley. Winter wheat during the
past few years has been a great sue
cess, and experiments have shown
that II can be grown with success in
almost any portion of the three prov
inces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and
Alberta. But apart from this, the
spring wheat crop is the one generally
grown, and all who know anything Of
grain, anyone who has had anything
to do with markets, knows or has
heard of the high character OF this
cereal and the splendid yields that are
annually produced. Reproducing from
this article:-
''ln a land of such great sweep, and
OF such difference In soil and climate,
there are many resources, but none
are at present OF the same overwhelm-
ing importance as the spring wheat
crop. In the interminable prairie
stretches of the northwest provinces
IL is the one absorbing topic of inter
est and OF conversation during its
growing and its harvesting, for upon
its success or failure hangs the veal
or woe of large part OF the Domin-
Ion. Its influence extends far down
Into the United States, drawing thou
sands of farmers northwards with the
lure OF cheap lands, but likewise be-
yond the great lakes, even to the easy
going maritime provinces, calling the
flower OF their young men to its op-
portunlties. Development in these
prairie provinces goes on at high pres.
sure for everything hangs on the out
come Of spring wheat. Success has
emboldened the raisers OF this one all
important crop, and each year there
is further incursion into those north
ern fields that only a short time ago
were regarded as Arctic wastes. The
Canadian Northwest seems to be one
Of those modern agricultural examples
set forth to drive the final nail In the
coffin of that ancient MalthusIan de-
lusion that population tends to outrun
only fear now among Canadian econ
omists is as to the danger Of over
stocking the wheat market. Only
about two and one-half per cent OF
possible arabic lands in the northwest
provinces is now under cultivation,
and this year the crop promises to
be close to 200,000.000 bushels. so
that your imagination and your arith-
metic can easily supply the answer as
10 the possible or even probable out
come"
During the months OF July and Au-
gust the weather was unfavourable
and the production Of 200 million
yield of wheat will not likely be real
ized, but even with this, the threshing
reports coming to hand show that the
crop will be a splendidly paying one

BABYS TERRIBLE SUFFERING

his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn, and cause terrible suffering.
The eruption began In pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body. causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his

but nothing would help him, till a

Authorities Begin Prosecution Of
Those Who Tarred Young

State and May Break Up Many
Homes-Jail Awaits Perpetrators.

Topeka, Kan.-State, county and mu.
hicipal authorities have united in
their efforts to bring to Justice the
men who tarred and feathered Mary
Chamberlain, school teacher at
Shady Bend In Lincoln County. The
whole state is aroused as seldom be-
fore In its history over the outrage
which seems shrouded in a good deal
of mystery. The young woman is pop
ular in her home town and enjoys n
'good reputation. II is reported that
she was the innocent victim OF jeal-
GUS women, and II is alleged their wag-
ging tongues egged on the mob of
men to commit the disgraceful crime.
Edward Ricord, charged with TAX
ing the girl to a lonely spot on the
pretense of taking her to dance, and
then leaving her to t-. mercy of the
mob of men. who stripped off portions
OF her clothing and then tarred and
feathered her. was tried and sentenced
to IL months in Jail. Six men we're
arrested and charged with the crime.
Every effort to unravel the mystery
and get at the motive of the crime is
being made by the authorities. Six.
teen arrests have been made in con
nection with the case.
From all over the state money is
being contributed to punish the offend
ers. The attorney general is pushing
the prosecution with all the energy he
can; and the first to contribute to a
fund to see that the perpetrators are
properly punished was F. d. Coburn.

WHITE MAN rs SUSPECTED.
Arrested in Connection With Myster1-
Gus Stabbing of Negress.

Beaufort, April Pin a suppos-
edly drunken carousal outside the
gates of the Marine Officers school
on Paris island, April 8, Lizzie Smith,
a disreputable negro woman of Beau
fort, was stabbed with some sort of
blunt instrument and died yesterday
from the effects of the wound. With
terrific force the instrument was drlv-
en- through the back, penetrating the
spinal column and severing the spin
al cord, which caused complete pa
ralysis of the lower extremities from
the waist down. An autopsy was
held to-day by DR.. NJ. Elliott of this
town. There is a seeming mystery
surrounding the whole affair, and the
identity of the assassin is in doubt.
Herbert Roose, a white man, has
been arrested as suspect. 1t is
alleged that he is marine. baker
and connected with the Marine Of
GERS school. The inquest was call
ed for to-day at IL o'clock at the
court house, but was postponed until
tomorrow, on account of the wit
nesses being absent.

FIRE AT ROWESVILLE.
Seed House of Oil Mill and Lumber

Rowesville, April 26.-Fire was
discovered this morning about 4
O'Clock in the seed room of Rowes-
vile Cotton Oil company's plant here,
and although a stream of water was
soon playing on it, the flames, famed
by a stiff breeze, soon reduced the

building nearby next took fire and
was consumed The office building
and commissary of ]. H. Blake
Lumber company was also burned

the oil mill buildings and the entire
lumber plant were saved. The oil
mill loss will be about $4,000, cov-
cred partly by insurance. Mr..
Blake's loss will be about $4,000.
The books and records from the
offices were all saved as well as most
of the contents of Blake's commits
sary and Office. The oil mill seed
house contained large quantity OF

May Go to Gang.

Atlanta, April 25.-Shall Atlanta
send one of her city councilmen to
the chaingang for habitual drunken
ness? The question has been put up
to the city government in way it
can't dodge by a peculiar series of
circumstance.
DR.. S. D. Warnock, highly re-
spected practicing physician and for
years a member of the council from
4th ward, was arrested about three
months ago on an aggravated charge
of drunkenness. 1t appeared that he
had bought some mean whiskey
from a blind tiger and had publicly
INDUCED in a public spree.
Arraigned before the recorder, he
pleaded guilty to everything charged,
but made a beautiful and touching
plea in his own behalf, citing his
splendid record, and declaring
Judge, I want you to simply let me
off on probation, for know I am
guilty, on the understanding that the
very next time you learn that have
been drunk you send me to the chain
gang without the alternative Of pay
ing a fine"
The Judge agreed. The city ocun-
Gil, which had at first intended to
ask him to resign, instead decided to
give him another chance, and en-
courage him in the most kindly way
to reform.
That was three months ago, and
now, like a bolt from the clear sky,
comes Mrs. Warnock, with petition
for total divorce, setting forth that
her husband has been "perpetually
drunk" since the time of that trial,
and that during the time he had
treated her with cruelty.
Mrs. Warnock declares that her
husband had become more and more
enthralled by alcohol, and has let his
once splendid practice slip from his
grasp until now practically nothing
of it is left.
