Sowing Alfalfa in Corn.

In answer to II number of inquiries
received IN this Office this week, IN
regard TO sowing alfalfa ut last cult
vation of corn, the following statement
~ made. l have never fuiled TO get II
stand ana have sown three different
times III front of The cuitivator, and
got II good stand each time. Robert
Moss, Burke's Garden, says he naver
cws 1t any other time. OF course, il
Is taken Tor granted that the CON
ground mas been thoroughly cultivated
is rich and absolutely Tree of weeds.
If the ground is wceGy send u man
with hoe and have every weed cut
out between the hills of corn where
the pIow cannot reach them. Do this
IN front OF the cultivnLor-not after
IT. If the crabgrass OF other pests il
not gotten rid of thy will choke out
the young alfalfa. BE sure the weeds
are killed, and SOW about 20 lbs. of
seed-the very best seed you can get
per acre, and follow with 14-tooth
cultlvator, not over 1-2 inches deep.
Two inches is better. 1t is just as easy
TO get stand of alfalfa as it is of
red clover or timothy.
The corn will shade the alfalfa dur
ing the hottest month, and allow it to
get good start. If sack or two of
llrst class fertilizer is convenient SOW
1T among the corn with the alfalfa
and watch it "hump" and grow. Cut
the corn off at the earliest time, and
shock it off the alfalfa. Wherever a
shock stands there will be no alfalfa.
Carry or haul the corn elsewhere to
shock it. After the alfalfa is sown
keep an eye on the weeds. If they
threaten to come, us they always do
in the cornfield late in the season, go
over the patch and attend to the
weeds. BE careful not to destroy the
young plants. If the corn happens to
be planted in check rows so much the
better. Sow half the seed one way and
cross-sow with the other half. And
may good luck attend your effort!

SAVES COURT EXPENSES.

Frank Holt, the Cornell University
his home near Glen Cove Saturday,
committed suicide in the Jail at Min
cola Monday night.
While several of the Jail authori-
ties declare that Holt killed himclf by
climbing through the opening Mt the
top of his cell door and then plunging
to the narrow court below, Holts
keeper said he was positive that the
prisoner was killed In his own cell,
where he said he found the body.
There were many conflicting re-
ports as to the manner in which Holt
met his death, but il was definitely es-
tablished through DR.. Cleghorn, the
Jail physician, that Holt died of n
fractured skull.
Several of those about thch Jail
said they heard I'm explosion, the re-
port coming from liolt's cell. This
noise, it was believed, was due TO the
falling of boards from the top of the
cell
jeremiah O'Ryan, the keeper de-
tailed to watch Holt, said he was iif-
teen feet away from the cell when he
heard II loud report. He looked inthe
direction of the cell, but il was dark.
Entering, he found EIolt's body in n
pool of blood in the corner.
The excitement that followed the
noise brought Warden Hulse and
other Jail authorities to the scene.
District Attorney Lewis j.. Smith and
Dr. Clcghorn, together with several
constablcs, were soon on the scene
and Immediately began an investiga-
ton. DIR. Clcghorn denied a report that
Holt had killed himself by chewing
percussion cap.
He repeated that death was caused
by fracture at the top of the skull.
An explosion which would have blown
his head off would have followed an
attempt by Holt to chew n percussion
cap, the physician said.
a thorough examination of Holt's
cell failed, according to the jail au-
thorities, to disclose any weapon or
implements of any kind which Holt
could have used himself.
Coroner Walter b. Jones, after view
ing the body said:
Undoubtedly n suicide, and un-
doubtedly the man jumped. l cannot
give an official version until an au-
topsy is performed"
The body was then taken to the
morgue in Hapstead, where DIR. Cleg-
horn was prepared to perform an an
topsy Immediately.

MUCH GOOD FROM
BRIDGERS MEETING
About SGventy-Five Additions to
Various Churches of the Town
voluntary Contribution
Over $500 to Preacher.

The Bridgers revival closed on last
Monday night after two weeks and
two days continuance. The meetings
were enthusiastic and greatly enjoyed
from the beginning. Great crowds
overfowed the building at every night
service, and the day services were
unusually well attended. There was
no tagging of interest or attendance
and on the closing night the church
was crowded.
The results of the meeting cannot
be positively stated, of course. There
is no possible way to measure the ex-
tent and influence of religious i'm
preston. Those who made professions
of religion were asked to sign cards.
giving their names and church pre-
ference. About rs, it is stated, gave
their names and church preference.
These cards were assorted and passed
to the several pastors whose church
was named by the person signing the
card. How these new additions are
distributed as to churches has not
been made public at this writing.
An offering was taken, through en-
velopes and public collection several
times near the close of the meetings,
which amounted to $i21.0O for Mr..
and Mrs. Bridgers' two weeks of SER
vice. Free entertainment and railroad
fare to Tazewell w;.s gladly given,
IN addition to the cash collection.
While here Mr.. ana Mrs. Bridgers
were entertained by Senator and Mrs.
st. Clair.
The visit Of Mr.. and Mrs. Bridgers
to Tazewell will be long remembered.
The preaching, singing, Mrs. Brid-
gers playing and singing-all, will
DE long remembered with special gra-
titude by many, with pleasure by all.
Their good work will abide.
