Lime for Alfalfa.

a reader says it is stated in the
Progressive Farmer that it is a mis-
take to plOw under lime for alfalfa, -
while in another paper a man recog-
niZed as an authority says: IF the
land needs lime plow it UNDER
The term "plow" is rather indefi-
mite, and may mean putting lime into
the ground at any depth from three to
eight inches. 1t may also be stated
that when a large quantity is applied,
such as is frequently done in prepar-
ing for alfalfa, it may be mixed with
the soil to Il greater depth than when
n small quantity is applied. Indeed,
for n decp-rOOted plant like alfalfa, it
is entirely possible that it will be an
advantage to put the lime Deeper or
at east to mix it with the top soil to
greater depth, than in ordinary ap-
plicatiOnS. But as a general rule, we
think, it is pretty we'll established
that the best plan is to disk the lime
into the top three or four inches Of
soil. - TAFT Butler in Progressive

Matteawan shape themselves as Cana
dian officials in close touch with the
proceedings anticipate. This was the
semi-official intimation here tonight
as Thaw awaits hearing on a habeas
corpus writ his counsel procured to-
day. 1t Is not denied that official
opinion inclines to the belief that the
habeas corpus proceedings will re-
suit in Thaw being declared a free
man. What will follow, the plans Of
the immigration Authorities indicate,
lies in the hands of Inspectors d. II.

At the immigration Office the for
NAL deportation proceedings will be
conducted in the form of an official
inquiry into the manner Of Thaws
entrance into the country, and his
past history, which it is held debars
him from remaining in Canada. These
formalities ended he will be taken on
board Grand Trunk train and con-
veyed to the border, where Messrs.
Reynolds and Whitlands will hand
him over to the American authorities
The point of deportation indicated
will be Island Pond, VT, the nearest
border station on the Grand Trunk,
about 20 miles south of Coaticook.
The through ticket" to Detroit on
which Thaw, it is understood, hopes
to evade the immigration authorities
and continue his journey through
Quebec and Ontario to the State of

DOCTOR KILLED PATIENT.
While Insane He Performed Vivi-
section on Aged Man.

Marietta, Ohio, Aug. 2O.-Dr. Will
liam r. Dabney, of Marietta, Ohio,
was today committed to Longview
Asylum. as insane.
Not until the crazed surgeon had
undertaken to perform vivisection up
on a patient was it realized by the at
tendants in the operating room that
madness was directing the arm and
scalpel as 1t sought to uncover vital
organs.
DR.. Dabney entered practice in
Marietta about Is years ago. He made
specially Of eye, ear and throat op-
eratiOns.
IT was the death on the operating
table of an aged and wealthy farm
er. Jacob f. Schaad, that brought DR..
Dabney's career to a climax. Schaad
had a humorous growth on his upper
jaw.
Besides DR.. Dabney and the nurse,
there were present when Schaad laps
ed into unsciousness under the in
huence OF an anaesthetic, DIR. c.. Il.
Ballard and DR.. j. Il. Penrose. AS
DR.. Dabney proceeded with the knife
the two surgeons detected that there
was something wrong and both began
TO demonstrate. DR.. Dabney became
angry and ordered them from the op-
Grating room.
When the two doctors had left, ac-
cording to the story of the nurse who
mad remained bending beside the un-
conscious patient, DIR. Dabney began
TO dissect the face and throat of the
unconscious Schaad. Both sides of
the face were laid open, and deep in
cisions made in the throat, but the
skill OF the mad SURGEON was shown in
the deXterity with which he avoided
iniiicting fatal wound on his living
subject.
HOW FAR the crazed surgeon would
nave proceeded with the dissection
cannot be told, for the Mortified nurse
ran shrieking that DR.. Dabney was
killing his patient. Her cries brought
Drs' ballard and Penrose, with sew
eral OF the hospital attendants, to the
rescue. and DIR. Dabncy, by this time
raNing maniac, brandishing his
scalpel over the unconscious living
subject, was diSarmed and subdued
after desperate struggle.

should begin to come in, at the end
of the year-did not contemplate the

stead, for the lending of the whole
sum Immediately. His original pro-
posal, as thus explained, Mr.. Mat

been taken up. S. II. Carter, State
treasurer, regards himself as bound,
by resolution of the sinking fund
commission. to borrow the money
only in installments Of $4,000, as it
may be needed; whereas, the banks
demand, as yesterday eXpOunded by
Mr.. Matthews is in substance that all
of the six notes, each Of $4,000, on
which the loan is to re made, shall
be delivered to the bank at once, in
terest on them to commence with the
date of such delivery.

mains depleted, to such an extent that

can not be met. This condition has
not existed in many years.

exhibited what he claimed to be trans
