; Heeoud Story Window.
St Louis, Jan. 4. Jonpeh B. 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.

The device is called hydraulic

small air-tight tanks is plaoed over two
sprocket wheels in such a manner that
on one side it will - pass upward
through a large tank of water.
As each air tank enters the water
tank from below through a water-tight
valve, it will be forced to the surface
by the superior weight of the water and

WEEKLY MAHKET LETTER.

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.

A WILD CAT TALE. .
Water and Frosted Ball Trap the
Animal and Death Follow.
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

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;

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

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.

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

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.

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

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. National
Stockman.
Oermlratins Nuts.
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,

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. Via fun lia

serve human affection but we should
bestow this fondness with a little care
ful regard for common sense. 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."

-Mliid 'aiid Health.
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.
To he physically well one must, In gen
eral, be happy. The reverse is not al
ways true; one may be happy and
cheerful, and yet be a constant suffers!

possible to check the disease. Several
operations were performed but the can

for years until the partition in his nose
ana his entire up

futile, be looked
opon death as the
only relief.
