Mo Cnllagh, editor of the St. Loots Globe Democrat, and one of tbe best-known newspaper men In the country, ii dead, a tba result of a full of twenty-five feet from a seoond-story wiudow of his np-u'tnisnts at the residence of his sis-tM-iu-law, Mrs. Kate Manion, of 1837 West Pine boulevard. There seems to be a difference of opinion as to whether Mr. MoGullagh'i death was due to an aooident or was the result of his own act. The latter story is snouted by the dead man's friends. The body, which was cold in death and olad only in a nightgown, was discovered by Mrs. Manion's oolored nian-serrunt about 7 o'clock this morning. Waters, tha ooloied servant, without touching the body, ran frightened into the house, where he told the oook of the discovery She immediately called Mrs. Manion, .who had not yet arisen, and told her that Mr. McCulkgh had "fallen out of tha window and killed himself." Imme diately up on being notified by the ser vant, Mrs. Manion dispatched her coachman to summon Dr. C H. . Hughes, who resides in the neighbor' hood, and who was Mr. MoOullagh's physician during his last illness. He hastened to the house, and, after ei- amining the body ordered it removed to the house. PERPETUAL MOTION. Th Clever Davloa a ' IttTantott a Iflnnaaota St Paul, Jan. 4 J. O.

A terrible disaster has occurred in the Santa Ger- tiusi mine at Pachuoa, one of the most famous silver mines in the country. For some cause not known fire broke out in a level of the old southern work-! ings yesterday, shutting off the exit of j thirteen Mexican miners. Miners on I the outside went to work to try to put i out the fire and save the men. One ; Englishman named Richardson, an ex perienced miner, went down in charge i of the rescue operations, but perished ' from suffocation. ; AH the Mexicans : : died from the same cause, or from ( burning.

WEEKLY MAHKET LETTER. Downing, Hopkins A Co.'a Trad. Kavlear ol The wheat market has every indica tion of an upward tendency. It hard ened steadily last week in the face of loal bank failures, and was only affeot ed by thera temporarily. A good per centage of the local traders were afraid to go into the market, owing to the un settled condition of finances at Chicago last week. Looal influences, however, are only et a transient oharacter, the market being governed more by foreign advices, and also by the great strength of the domestio situation, which over shadows almost everything in the way of local bearish factors. Had the mar ket been a looal one prioes would have gone lower, bat the timely buying of foreigners offset the bearish Influences, and made sentiment bullish, over-rid ing everything bearish. English I traders who wore sharp enough to fore see their wants early in the fall, and took adavntage of it by baying them from three to four months in advanoe, almost before the American speculators were aware of it, have come in the mar ket within a week and taken millions of bushels of botn cash and futures for shipment daring the next four months, while local traders were as a rule afraid take the buying side.. It is claimed I hy operators io a position to know that lger "wort interest than a any time within sixty days, lite Northwest is short against its cash holdings there. Foreigners Have ab sorbed the snprlua wheat 'that is afloat in the pit It is difficult to buy any large lines without sending prioes up rapidly, if any of the recognised lead ers are credited with being at the back of tbe orders. This leaves the market in a stronger position than ever, and those who watch the pit operations closely are oonfident that prioes will advanoe to 90o within the near future. The visible stocks are 14,000,000 bush- els less tban last year. Foreigners are j expeotea to lead the buying again next week. ' . -' j j j GENERAL MARKETS. l j Portland, Or., Jan. 6, 1897, ( .

What Is by long odds the best hunt fug story of the season (times from St. Kcgls, and the section foreman, Mels Thompson, who looks after the Snake track at that place, la the horo. It is probably the first case of Its kind on record, and establishes an Interesting precedent in tbe killing of wild cats. These vamUnts havu heretofore been considered fit victim for any means of extermination, however unsports manlike It might bo. They have been shot, trapped, poisoned and drowned, but Nolo Thompson haj Introduced a newiueihodof doingaway with the cats whose only drawback la the fact that it can never be generally introduced. as the conditions under which It Is operative do not exist In every locality where wildcats nre found. To success fully carry out the Thompson method It is necessary to have, a cold day, a deep stream and a railroad track ruu niug close by it. One morning recently as Thompson and bis gang of sturdy Scandluavlana were pumping their handcar along tbe track on the way to their work, which that day was along the clay bluffs east of St. Regis, they were somewhat star tled by the angry snarling of a wildcat ahead of them. They slowed up the car a they rounded the bluff aud a strange sight greeted their eyes. Tbe morning was bitter cold and a fringe of ice bordered the banks of tbe St Regis River, which rushed along just below the track. Broken Ice and a wet trail up tbe bank showed that the cat bad Just ewam through tbe icy stream and explalued his present predicament For he certainly was in tbe gravest pre dicament In wbich ever wildcat found himself. He waa fastened firmly, to one of the steel rails by one fore foot. Tbe supposition ia that the cat had come through tbe river and leaped up the track embankment. Ilia last Jump brought one of bis wet forefeet upon tbe rail and, according to the familiar principle of physics, it froae to the steel. There he was, held a fast as' If In tbe jaws of a trap. The ground showed that he bad struggled to free himself, but hla effort had been In vain. As the handcar approached, the cat swung around to face tbe Intruders, and in doing so anotber foot struck the rail and waa held firmly. A few more struggles, a strong brace to free the captive feet and the two free pedal ex tremities touched the rail. Snarling and with flashing eyes, tbe captive creature watched the section men alight from the handcar, but he was incapable of resistance. A blow from a crowbar cracked his skull and the victim of cold water waa dead. It required a strong pull to detach tbe frozen feet from tbe rail, and when they did come patches of skin still adhered to tbe steel. Ana conda Standard. Some Old Jokes, The Cornhlll Magazine publishes cer tain extracts from an old French Jest book which prove at least that Jokes are not very much changed, for some of these are dull aa tbe pleasantry of our own day. They are comprised under the beading Menaglana, and are extracts from the conversations which took place at the bouse of Gllles Men age, a student and writer of tbe seven teenth century. He waa the author of much literature, both poetry and criti cal prose, and waa considered a wit but whether he and his friends actual ly sparkled at their Wednesday gath erings may be guessed from a few sam ples of the conversation there; "I bad taken tbe band of Madame De 8 When she drew It away Mona. FelHtler said to me, That la the most beautiful work which baa ever gone out of your hands! " 'Assume, sir," said a gentleman In a business argument with another, "that you owe me ten thousand crowns." 'Pray, air," said the other, interrupt ing him, "have tbe goodness to make some other hypothesis!" Above a fireplace were two figures, Justice and Peace, kissing each other. "Look!" said some one. "They are saying 'Adieu,' never to meet again. The Archdeacon of Auxere, who was In the habit of screaming In tbe pulpit said of Bourdaloue, "He preaches fort bien, and I blen fort. The Marquis Del Carplo, Viceroy of Naples, was going into a church at Madrid, and saw a lady entering at tbe same moment who wore an extremely beautiful diamond on a very ugly band.

Bow Poultry May Be Made to Pax Two Potato Cropa In One Beaaon- ' Uaea of the Aider Bu.h-Fall Plow Ins of Sod Ground. Mnklnc Poultry Pay. Just why some catiuot make the poul try yard a paying Institution Is quite plain. Like everything else, it all Ilea ' With the man and how he goes about it. One fellow goes at It. He baa read considerable about It. He builds large and completely fitted tip house In the moat practical way, buys high-priced thoroughbred fowls and starts in to make It go. It takes such a nmu alxint one season to learn that he knows little and needs experience. This is bought from a small beginning and with sev eral years' actual work with them. Branching out. largely at first Is sel dom done by a prudent or practical per eon. Anybody can feed and pevhapa rear a brood of chicks. To keep few hens for private use where they live upon the refuse of your table la one kind of chicken business, but when you are -In it for yonr bread aud butter, with hundreds, and perhaps thousands, under your care. It la quite another mat ter. It can and Is paying live workers, but never drones. Don't go at it unless you have patience, tact and lota of am bition. These are very essential points of value to any man who hopes to suc ceed. . Weed out the flocks, disposing of real ly old stock aud the uutk-slrable young. A few good hens, well cared for, will 1 raise more chickens next summer than if a great flock is crowded together In unhealthy coops. Two Potato Cropa In One Reason. I-ast rail I bought a few bushels of an early red potato out of the cellar Chi cago Market, Rochester Rose, or some thing elseand laid them In a place on the roof of a low shed to start their sprouts, thinking to forward the crop In this way. After a while I plauted most of them, but a few still lay on the roof until July 14, when part of tbe garden patch having been dug for new potatoes,-1 planted forty hills to see what they would do right In the old bills. By this time they were sun burned, black aa coal almost, aud their stubby sprouts, covered with tiny green leaves, were two inches long. The weather was dry and hot, tbe eartb dry aa ashes, aud nothing was seen of them till a light shower brought thera up July 21. From this their growth was rapid, and there was a larger growth of vines than the first crop had. A frost cut them down Sept. 22, but they were nearly ripe. The flint crop did not ripen, but they would have grown little, if any, more. Mr. Waldo F. Brown, who has green corn by the time mine is fairly up not more than a foot high at the most could raise two crops in this way with all ease, and so could any one who has a degree or two less latitude (42 degrees ISO min utes). The potatoes you lay out on tbe boards must be recut; then tbey will keen until it is time for tbe second . pluntlug. Two crops of potatoes is bet ter than the crop of fall weeds we see so often where garden potatoes have been dug. New York Tribune. Uaea of tbe Alder Bnah. The common sweet alder bush, or elderberry bush, as It la often called, is regarded by neat farmers as a nuisance, to be destroyed as quickly as possible. Yet It has many uses, and some farm ers' wives especially, have learned to turn it to profit. Its fruit when dried makes very fair pies if some acid ia mixed with It. We have known It to be used with grapes, the latter being extra sour and without something to temper them requiring too much sugar. The juice of elderberries with sugar makes tbe standard heavy wine which old fashioned people used always to keep In the house to use when sickness made it necessary. Finally the blossoms are an excellent febrifuge, and some should al ways be put up to use when fever from unknown causes attacks any of the family. Farmers Phonld Grow Beat Peed. No garden or Held seed is more easily grown than the beet, ' Select smooth sneclmcna of moderate size out of the heap and plant thein in early spring, j All the work tbey need is to run the cul- tlvator between the rows, which should be wide-enough for that purpose. If this is done two or three times, the snrentline branches will envoi- fh'any danger or mice getting into the spaces between the rows and will keep ! down most of the weeds. The seed Is 1 gathered by cutting off these branches and spreading on cloths or hung up In sheds either having a tight floor or hav Ing cloths spread under tbe hanging T T 2,7, V , , himself lua much better condition to so When beet seed Is ripe It shells very ! ... u -.. . easily. Tbe seed Is easily grown and therefore cheap, but every farmer can easily raise what he wants for bis own use.' - - Fall Plowing foi Ground. Wherever there is a heavy growth of coarse grass left on the land in fall it is much better to plow It In tbe fall If It Is Intended to use It for cultivated crops next year. Host of this coarse grass, that has small nutrition, has very vigor, ous roots and needs to be turned under as long as possible before tbe crop is planted. The mulch of coarse grans on the surface will prevent the sod from freezing as deeply as It ought. In fact, when the ground Is mostly covered with snow In winter the heavy mulched sod may scarcely be frozen at all. ' But when turned over In the fall and the furrow Is left rough as possible, It Is sure to be frozen again and again, leav ing tbe surface soli In very fine tilth. If the sod be June grass or quack many of the roots will be killed by freezing ' dry In the upturned furrow on or near tbe surface. Though there is some ' waste of fertility by washing and plow ing of full-plowed land, it Is none the less good practice where hoed crops ' mat uucu au ennj uieuuw seeu oeu are to be sown or planted the following spring. Winter Fattening or Stock. The competition of Western dressed beef and of Western mutton, poultry I and other meats shipped In refrigerator t cars has made it very bard for Eastern farmers to keep up the old practice of ( buying or raising for fattening some i kind of stock every winter. The city , butcher would like to buy a hwrf or number of thorn from the farnura In hla neighborhood, hut he la rontialned by fear. lie cannot got enough to "tip ply himself through Hie year. Indeed, the farmer generally only cares to uiur ket his faUeucd slock in cold weather. Ko the Weateni shipper extort from kls customer an Ironclad njrroomeut to buy meat only as sent by him. Vet we think If fanner would buy or inl' young atock and fatten It, they eould make a market selling beef or million by the outmer, or dlrldlug tt still farther for the accommodation of 'h'"lr customers. No. law to resiniln this right can he valid, as has been repeated ly decided by very high authorities. Amerlcnu Cultivator. Rules for Milklnv. Turf", l'arm and Home gives the fol lowing ruled for milking; First Work rapidly; slowness causes loss of cream. . Second Milk thoroughly to the Inst drop, because the hist milk Is the brat Thlrd-MIlk at the enine tlnto every day. Fourth Milk crosswise. Unit Is to say, one fore teat on the right mid a hlud teat ou the left, and vice versa; the milk thus flows more copiously than by parallel milking. Flfta -Milk with four Angers and not with index and thumb, a fault too com mon with milkers. Sixth Do not employ any kind of milking machines.. SeveuthTo milk young, restive cows, raise one of the fore feet. Eighth Always keep the hands clean and also the cow's udder, and all dairy utensils. Ninth During milking avoid dis tracting or disturbing the cow. 'nisr from llaeta. At the Norfolk (Neb.) sugar factory, 350 tons of beets dully are now biug made into granulated sugar. That sin gle factory expects to turn out 10,1100, 000 pounds of sugar this season, paying to farmers in and around that ltx-nllty about 300,0()0 for beets, to say mtb ing of tbe Immense amount paid for labor, llmextone, fuel, coke, lubricating oils, etc. The crop Is excellent and farmers enthusiastic, as some of them are receiving to $125 per acre tx tbe crop, while the towjixpooplo are prosperous and happy with money cir culating freely. Laud there la renting from IS to $10 per acre for beet culture. Much tbe same state of affairs exist at Grand Island, Xeb. Large numbers of farmers all over Nebraska aud neigh boring States are visiting these sugar factories, and intenae Interest is being aroused in the effort to vastly develop the Industry In tbla country. Agricul turist A Home r niiply of Vinetar, During the past twenty years the writer has made no cider, yot our cider vinegar kegs are always holding out like tbe widow's cruse of oil. How is It done? We buy some sweet elder from a neighbor aud add It gradually to the twenty-gallon kegs that have had pure vinegar In thorn so long that they have had several sets of Iron hoops. As they have stood on the cel lar bottom, full or partly full of strong vinegar for twenty years, we conclude that vinegar preserves wood, as the staves are still Bound. It Is always pos sible to get pure, sweet cider In the tail, hence the vinegar keg or barrel ouce started is good, for aught we know, for a hundred years. Exchange. Proper Colts to Raise The farmer who attempts to breed speed alone stands no more chance to make a financial strike than a boy In a pin lottery without any ticket. Hut at the same time, he should not lose sight of tbe fact that be who buys for road purposes calls for not only a good-sized horse, but one even-gaited, aud quite apeedy, I believe there Is more money In raising the right kind of colts, aud preparing them for the market, than any other kind of stock on the farm. Tbe first thing to be considered by tbe farm er is what strain and what cross will come nearest to filling the bill of public demand. "Like produces like," is an old adage, and quite true.

The success of germinating nuts In the spring depends upon the condition of ripeness and the method of keeping them during the winter, Nuts should not be allowed to become too dry before burying In sand, When gathered too early the kernels shrivel up and have but little germinating power, hence they should not be gathered until the kernel is full and plump. If there Is hoxos where tbey are buried during the winter, wire netting should be nailed over them. Lxcbange, Farm Comforts.

Lewis-ton Journal. Dogs and Feminine Affection, Edward W. Bok writes of "Dogs and Feminine Affection" In the Ladles' Home Journal, and points out the dangers of caressing a dog, however well cared for it may be. "Tbe most eminent physicians," he asserts, "have conclusively shown that the practice of allowing the body of a dog to came Into close contact with the human body Is fraught with the greatest phynlcnl evils. The cleanest dog In the wor'd Is not without this objection, It cannot be. A dog's nose should never ho al lowed to touch any part of tbe human skin. The most casual observance of a dog's habits will show tbe reasons for this. In fact, from whatever st.ii'J polnt one chooses to look at the mut ter from that of cleanliness, health or bodily danger the practice of pctllnjj dogs with close embraces of any tort Is a positive wrong. Women cannot be too careful about this, either as the practice affects them or, if they are .riei1. their fhllflrnn.

One point, of all others, cannot be too care fully regarded; the face should never be brought into close contact with a dog, A sense of cleanliness alone should forbid this, even If positive danger did not lurk In the practice."

The mental coudltluu baa far more littlueuc upon the bodily health than la generally supposed. It I no doubt true that allmvuts of the body causs depressing and morbid conditions ol the mind, but it is no less true that sorrowful and disagreeable emotions produce disease in persons who, tin In fluenced by them, would be In sound health; or. If disease Is not produced, the functions are disordered. Agreeable emotions set lu motion nervous currents which stimulate blood, brain, and every part of tbe sys tem into healthful activity! while grief, disappointment of feeling, aud brooding over present sorrows or past mistakes depress all the vital forces.
