HURRIED FROM |. DREAMS BY FIRE
J. E. WOOton Home on West Jefferson Totally Destroyed Early Yester- day Morning. Piano All That Was Saved.

The twO-story frame house and most
 of the furniture of J. E. Wootton's West
 Jefferson street home were destroyed
 by fire which broke out in the upper
 story yesterday morning about 4:36
 There had been no fire in the house
 since the morning before, so the cause
 of the flames is supposed to nave been
 defective wiring.
 Mrs WOOttOn had aroused her young son, Wiley, who carries a paper route for The Republican, and the lad had been gone few moments, when R. M. Policeman, a roomer awoke to find the fire in the ceiling above his bed. He gave the alarm and helped get a part of the furniture out of the burning building.
 A great deal of time was lost in get ting water on the blaze, due partly to the fact that long hose had to be strung, and partly because there was time wasted in making the run. By the time water was available, the whole second story was aflame and the fire was penetrating the lower story. Men entered one of the rooms and rescued a valuable piano, which with a small amount of other furniture is all that was saved.

Prime cattle continue firm, selling at
$500 to 1886 here during the last
week, though the best here today
stopped at $40. Good to choice cat
tie are shade lower than a week

steady to strong today but 20 to 80
cents under a week ago. High class
trade at the best hotels and restau-

ing for the usual amount Of the best
beef available, which is keeping the
market on the best cattle In good
shape, but the rank and file Of meat

PROFITS IN IOWA ONIONS.

In the current issue Of Farm and
Fireside, a contributor tells how In
tensive farming is being more and
more pactised in Iowa, where land
already threatens to pass the 5000
an acre mark. Pleasant Valley town.
ship, in Scott county, is an interest
ing example. Following is an ex-
tract:
The pioneer in the embarrassing
industry at Pleasant Valley was H.
Schuetter, now retired from active
farming life. From 1875 to 1894 he
devoted from fourteen to nineteen
acres to onions every year and kept
accurate account Of the results OBJ.
tanned. When he retired, his son, F.
F. Schuetter, succeeded him and he
has also kept a close record Of cost
anu prO0uctlOn.
The nineteen year record Of the
father shows that the average yield
under his management was 325 bu-
Shells per acre, and the average price
received was 43 cents. The figures
Of the son, kept from 1895 up to the
present time, show that during these
last years the average yield has been
400 bushels, and the average price,
45 cents. The cost of production for
the same period amounted to about
$40 an acre a year, leaving a profit
Of $50 to the acre. BY reason of
his success in onion raising, Mr..
Schuetter has not only been priyi-
legged to turn down an offer Of 81 900
an acre for his land, but to set an
example which many Of the farmers
of his vicinity have emulated with
great profit to themselves.
Best scientific methods are being
used by all the growers. The fields
are kept perfectly clean, as the on
ion smOthers easily. BY using the
same soil for the crop year after
year the Nand has become so free of
weeds that it is now kept clean with
little difficulty. Once each summer
the farmers flood their fields with a
fOrmaldehyde solution to prevent
blight Every season a small portion
of the land is set aside by each grow
er for the raising of his own seed,
and on this part of the field he plant!
the best bulbs selected from the
crop of the season before. Careful
selection of the bulbs for seed is one
of the chief reasons for the size and
quality of the Pleasant Valley oniCns
when harvest time comes, all OF
the unemployed men and boys in
the township are put to work in the
fields pulling, cleaning, drying and
preparing the onions for shipment
Most of the crop is shipped out Of
the valley through the County Fruit
Growers Association, to which most
of the onion farmers belong. Two
hundred and Seventy-five cars were
sent east last year"
