Cincinnati Stage Manager Found Dead
In an Alley.

CINcINNArI.. Ohio. March 29.--Charles
W. Meyer. who for several years has
been stage manager of the Lyccum
Theatre in Cincinnati. was murdered
early this morning near 634 Barr street
where his body was discovered at 8
a. NJ.
Whether Meyer was killed in the
house at that number or in the alley
near by has not yet been determined
by the police.
That the failure of the badger game
to work ON him was the direct cause
of his death is the belief of the Police
Department. They have arrested Rob-
ert Barnes and Emma jefferson. both
colored. They are holding Jim Lyle,
Arthur Williams and Florence Will
.ams as witnesses.
The couple under arrest deny that
they tried the badger game on Meyer.
They declare that the killing followed
the discovery by Barnes of Meyer In
their room. 1t Is said that after he
was killed in the room the couple
clothed his body, dragged 1t to the ad-
joining property and tossed It on the
pavement there.
According to the statement Of the
Jefferson woman, James Hamilton
brought Meyer to her room. The police
found him and he said he took Meyer
to the Williams home early In the morn
Ing, that they met the Jefferson woman
there, and that Meyer took her home.
Barnes told several stories to-day and
admitted that he struck Meyer, hut
that the latter jumped over the BAN
lister and fell to his death
When Meyer was found three large
diamond rings and diamond stud
were found in his pockets. His Iii
vorced wife lives in Cincinnati.

The Red Flag.

An engineer gave his little girl a
small red flag to play with, and ex-
planned that on the road the red flag
signifies danger. Would you stop
yonr train if you saw a red flag on
the track?" she asked. Yes" he
said, or there might be an acct
dent" After her papa had left, the
little one found her mamma crying.
Why are you crying, mammal"
she asked. The mother gave no
answer. But as the child saw the
decanter on the sidebOard she said:
rs it because papa drank some of
that nasty brandy before he went
to work." Yes dear; you see. he is
getting worse, and will surely lose
his place He thinks the people-do
not notice, but they must notice it.
And fear he will, fear, complete
ly wreck his life"
The child did not forget her
mothers worry. All day long she
thought of what she might do to
help, and at last she thought of the
red flag, and what her papa had
told her it stands for. Going to the
sideboard, she firmly fastened the
! flag to the decanter, and then went
to bed satisfied. The father came
home, went to the sideboard forthe
usual nightcap but saw the flag and
understood and needed the warning

Recently a wellknown ventrilo-
quist, who was taking a journey
just managed to get into the train
as it was leaving the station, and
had no time to take out a dog tick
ct for his TERROR.
When the cry All tickets ready"
was heard a few stations further
on, the ventriloquist dropped the
dog into a hamper, which was label,

When the ticket inspector open

to bark.
The man, noticing the label on

planting in the hills or drill row
with the corn, This is best done
with a cowpea attachment to the
planter. When planted in this man
ner it is not safe to plant too early
for the reasons above stated.
The amount of seed per acre for
this method will vary from a gallon
to two gallons, depending on the
variety and the quality of seed.
The Whippoorwills are mostly
used for this method, but where the
corn is to be cut for fodder, or es-
pecially when put in the silo, the
Little Black or the Clay may be bet
ter. These latter two are rather
late and very heavy viners. The
peas of the Little Black are very
small, hence not so much weight or

would interfere less with the culti-
vator. would recommend this on
only a small scale as an expert
ment. Soy beans for seed or hay
are perhaps best drilled in rows so
they can be cultivated. Soy beans
are commonly seeders than
cowpeas, the hay about the same.
The soy bean is also a little easier
to care for than cowpeas, and as
a soil imprUver they may be some
what superior as the plants have
long, tap roots that help in opening
up the sub-soil.

Planting Cowpeas and Soy Beans.
The use to be made of the crop
and where it is to be grown and
how it is to be harvested are all
matters that must be considered.
The time Of planting may be
from late corn planting time up to
the middle of July When planted
as late as the middle of July, seed
cannot be matured, but when the
weather is seasonable and the soil
good. a fair hay crop or a crop to
be plowed under for green manure
may be secured, When planted for
hay, they should be sown by the
first of June. COwpeas are warm

FARMERS INSTITUTE.
If Farmers Want One Here Next
Fall Should Get Busy at
Once What Say You,
Mr.. Farmer.

1t has been the custom in this
state to hold Farmers Institute
Meetings at such places as manifest
sufficient interest. and at such
times as may suit the convenience
of the speakers. This plan has
worked well in the past, but often
increases the cost of such meetings
by necessitating longer trips and
more railroad expense. 1t is, there
fore desired that some method be
adopted that will reduce the cost
and also increase efficiency of the
Institute work
With this object in view, the
State Board of Agriculture instruct
ed this office to divide the State in
to districts according to facilities
for travel and the interest in the
Institute work. as shown in the
past. After carefully considering
all the conditions and the needs of
the people We have divided the
state into six districts, and have
given to each district four weeks
time This time is to be devided
into two periods Of two weeks to
better suit the various conditions,
The First District is composed of
the following counties: Audrain.
Boone, Galloway, Cole, Franklin,
Gasconade, Howard. Lincoln, Mon
roe, Montgomery, Usage, Pike, RAN
dolp, Rails, St. Charles, St. Louis
and Warren. and is given two weeks
from November 4th to November
18th, and another two weeks from
December 18th to December 18th.
The public is notified of these
dates through the press and any
community desiring to hold an In
stitute should at once notify this
office, giving the facilities for hand
ling the audience. and such other
details as will show the probable
success of the meeting Such no.
tees should be in this Office at least
$50 days before the institute period
so that tho dates may be arranged
at a minimum expense.
If you want a Farmers Institute
consult your neighbors talk it up.
and if the interest promises to JUS
tify the cost write to me, giving all
your conditions. A date will then
be set for the Institute at your
place and speakers assigned to
meet the requirements.
In arranging such meetings, pref
erence will be given to committee
where Farmers Clubs have been
organized and are in good working
condition. /. c. WILSON,.

measure of seed per acre would be
required as the larger kinds.
This method is perhaps best
when the crop is to be harvested
and store. When the crop is to be
pastured off with lambs or pigs, a
popular way is to SOW the peas be-
tween the corn rows when the corn
is laid by. 1t will be best to lay
by the corn a little earlier than
would be otherwise desired, so the
peas can get a start before the
ground is shaded too much.
| The best method to plant in this
way is with one-horse grain drill.
! When the seed are broadcasted
ahead of the cultivator many of
them do not get well covered and are
thus wasted. and the price of seed
is so high that we must avoid the
waste if possible Some drill three
and some five rows between the
corn rows. New Era is the best
sort of this method of seeding
Seeding After Oats or Wheat,
! When Cowpeas are to follow oats,
the oats should perhaps be cut for
hay unless there is plenty of mist
ure. Oats require an abundance of
soil water, and If the weather be
rather dry and the oats allowed to
ripen, the ground might have too
little moisture to sprout the peas.
By cutting oats in the milk to
dough" stage it makes excellent
hay, and sometimes saves a crop
from rust; and the oat hay, if fed
to stock and manures returned to
the fields, is as a rule, more profita-
BILE than to bind and thresh. AS
soon as oat-hay crop can be remov-
ed, the ground may be well disced
and New Era peas drilled at the
rate of from one to one and a fourth
bushels per acre. When wheat or
oats are harvested in the usual way
a good plan is to arrange for about
two good disc harrows to be ready
to follow behind the binder, each
tapping the disc half. Have these
followed by the grade drill, drilling
in the New Era cowpeas. The
grain can then be shocked and
when the harvesting is done the
peas will be sown. In all cases
where the discs will cut the ground
: we'll enough, the work can be done
2 as above indicated.
CowpeaS are often planted be-
: tween potato rows when potatoes
are laid by" They keep dowr
crab grass and fox tail, and enrich
the soil.

cowpeas will appear in due time.

There were sixteen boats in all

Some people were in full even

Indignation Over FOun-
tdin'S Murder
State Department Declares
1t Violated all Rules
of War.

The indignation of state de-
partment officials over the execu-
ton of Thomas Fountain, the
American gunner, who was cap
tured by the rebels at Parral is
believed to be certain to prejudi-
ce any attempt on the part of the
rebels to secure any recognition
of belligerent rights, necessary
to successful conduct of their
campaign.
The state departmentdid every
thing in it's power to prevent the
execution, which, in it's opinion,
was in violation of the rules of
war of all civilized countries. A
telegram received only yesterday
from American consul Letcher at
chihuahua, dated on April 9, and
much delayed in transmission,
said the consul had protested to
the rebel chiefs against the exc
cution of Fountain, not only at
Chihuahua but at Parral where
the man was arrested.
However, he had just heard
through the local newspapers,
which he believed to be accurate
that Fountain had been tried and
executed that morning.
In the opinion of the state de-
partment, the mans killing was
a deliberate murder. But it is
recalled that in his proclamation
president Taft expressly warned
Americans against participating
in the revolution on either side.
indicating plainly that they would
do so at their own risk. This,
however, does not preclude the
American government from TAX
ing measures to secure prepara-
ton. Meanwhile there does not
appear to be any immediate ae-
tlon in contemplation.

Apache Box Mine Sold
For $5OO,OOO
New Discovery in Western New
Mexico Taken BY BOstOnians

Announcements are made that
the Apache Box gold mine, the
new discovey in the district west
OF Silver City. N. M, has been
sold to Smith brothers of Boston
and Springfield, Mass, for $500. :
600. The contract of sale was ex-
ecuted in Ell Paso. The selling
parties were w. N. Small and
John Kniffin.
Shortly after the discovery of
the Apache Box a few months
ago, Messrs. Knifin and Small
secured an option on the mine
and have succeeded in placing it
with substantialoperators associ-
ated with Smith Bros, on such
terms that the immediate deve-
lopment of the property is assur-
ed.
Smith Bros, or the company
they will form, intend to proceed
at once with the erection of a
2OO-ton reduction mill at the
mine. The system will be that of
fine grinding and cyaniding. Lat
er it is probable that the capacity
OF the plant will be increased.
The Apache Box is an immense
low grade gold deposit in por-
phyry dixie cut and eroded to a
depth of 900 feet by a mountain
stream which crosses it. It is
estimated that it's tonnage of
milling ore will run into the
hundreds of thousands. Assays
taken show it generally averages
from $6 to SIP per ton, gold value.
&The Apache Box is situated
twenty five miles north and a
little east of Duncan, Ariz., Just
inside the west boundary of New
