HOUSE MAY KILL IT.
-title cton of Favorable Actio ea
Homestead Bilk .
Washington, Jan. 18. The support
er o the free homestead bill fear that
the measure, has ben killed, so far as
tliis congress is concerned, by the ac
tion of Speaker Keed in referring it to
the house committee on public hinds
for the consideration of the senate'
amendments. The house committee is
not strongly in favor of the plan. That
committee voted to report - the bill to
the house by a majority of only one,
when it provided only for free homes
for the Oklahoma settlers.
The senate amendments greatly
widen the scope of the bill, extending
its provisions to all public land states,
and it is doubtful whether the house
committee will sanction the changes.
The bill's supporters fear that if the
committee does not make an adverse
report, it will keep the bill and take
no action on it before adjournment,
which course would effectually dispose
of it

"Washington, Jan. 18. The proceed
ings in the house today were very
; tame. It was private bill day, but the
whole time was consumed in passing
through the house bills favorably acted
upon in committee of the whole before
the holdiay recess. The widow of the
late Major-General Gibbon was the
beneficiary of one of the bills passed
carrying $100 per month, and the
widow of Brevet Major-General W. A.
Nichols, of another, carrying $75 per
month. The free homestead bill, which
came back to the house with senate
amendments, was referred under a rul
ing of the chair to the committee on
public lands.
a fe for Retlraaieat.
Washington, Jan. 18. A bill fixing
the age for ret irement from the -classified
civil service was introduced by
Representative Gillette, of Massachu
setts. It proivdee that any office in
the classified service held by a person
who at the time of the passage of the
act is over 63 years of age, shall be
come vacant in three years. Any office
in the service shall hereafter become
vacant when the person holding it be
comes 65 yean old. Veterans of the
civil war and their widows are excepted
from the provision. 9
For the Purchase af Caba.
Washington, Jan. 18. Representa
tive Spencer of Mississippi, has intro
duced in the house a bill as follows:
"The secretary of state is hereby au
thorized to offer to the government of
Spain a sum of money not to exceed
$200,000,000 for the purchase of the
island of Cuba. And the sum of $10,

necessary- to defray, the expenses of j
pending negotiations, is hereby appro-1
priated." - ' - ' ' -

Seattle, Jan. 18. In attempting to
thaw out a few sticks of dynamite by
placing them on a hot stove, F. Den
dauf was instantly killed and horribly
mutilated at Black Diamond Thurs
day. ' Thursday morning about 10
o'clock, Dendauf, who is in the employ
of Lair son Bros., took ten sticks of the
explosive to his cabin to warm them
up. From that time until noon . he
was alone, and the exact manner in
which the accident occurred can never
be known, but during the noon hour,
when all hands were at dinner, a ter
rific explosion was heard. Everybody
rushed out and found the entire Bide
and part of the roof of Dendauf 's cabin
had been torn away and hurled against
the side of another cabin sixty feet distant.-
The interior of what remained
of the cabin was a total wreck, every
thing in shreds and fragments, with
the body of Dendauf in the midst.
Some flying missile, presumably a bit
of the stove, entered his head near the
right eye, going directly through the
skull and leaving a hole two inches
square; the right leg was broken in
two places between the hip and knee,
and the flesh of the whole right side
hung in tatters. Death must have
been instantaneous.
BLUE CUT ROBBERY.
Alleged Leader Claim There I Con.
plraoy to Coavlet Him.
.Kansas City, Jan. 18. John Ken
nedy who was indicted as the leader
of the gang which twice held up and
robbbed Chicago & . Alton trains at
Blue Cut, wrote out and signed
statement today charging that there
was conspiracy to convict him. There
seems to be some grounds to substan
tiate his statement as regards John
Land, an important witness against
him. It is given out, moreover, from
authoritative sources that the robbers
secured almost $30,000, and not $2,
800, as first claimed by the express
company. For, the conviction of the
men concerned, it is also said big re
wards have been offered. In 1883,
Land, who lives in the Blue Cut local
ity, was convicted of perjury in falsely
e wearing , that three of his neighbors
had been connected in the Jesse James
train robbery of that year near Inde
pendence. Land is a state witness in
the present case. '
St. Petersburg, Jan. 18. Today, a
ukase was published which refers to
the necessity of the resumption of the
mintage. It seems likely that the
council's decision on the currency
question will be prolonged, and as the
country is anxious to settle the"doubta
which have arisen as to the cash values
of gold coins, it orders the minting of
imperials of a value of 15 instead of 10
roubles, these coins, however, being of
exactly the same weight and fineness as

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
SewBlBg, Hopkins Co waai's Review
of Trade.
The past week has proved an un
rteady one in the wheat markets.
While there has been no wenkening in
ihe basic position of wheat, and while,
indeed, the position today is stronger
dhan a week since, the bears have upon
;wo or three occasions raided the mar
kets and broken prices. To our minds
these fluctuations prove nothing against
the deal. We don't know but prices
will be lower, and are not talking about
what will be the results, but we write
if the foundation of the markets, and
dealers must manage the rest The
winter wheat, usuallly two-thirds of
the aggregate crop, is depleted to
smaller remains in farmers' hands than
for years. . Consumption must soon re
tort to spring wheat, and that reserve
i undoubtedly small. We are break
ing away slowly from foreign prices
and before harvest it will be a homo
lemand and supply.
According to expert testimony many
af the believers in wheat who have
been watching the upward march of
values for the past two months have
been rather doubtful of its stability, in
view of the cheapness of other cereals
tnd their product. The fact that corn
has entered the list as a competitor for
bread consumption led to a halt in the
advance and many traders were greatly
influenced by this circumstance. The
argument is made that flour is being
adulterated to snch an extent with corn
meal, and the call for corn meal is in
sreasing at such a rate that the demand
for cash wheat will gradually become
mrtailed, and, with a lessening of the
lemand, perforce a decline in price.
One writer in discussing this phase of
the wheat situation asserts that such a
use for corn meal and other substitu
tions for wheat must be only credited
to restricted areas. The theory ad
vanced is that poor people who would
most likely use this adulterated article
as a human food do not buy flour, and
hence the first argument falls to the
ground.

Farmers who tow clover seed thinly,
with the expectation that It will spread

thing, will crowd and tuut it: On the

Apple can be kept In cellar better

This Is sure to Injure their flavor,
though It prevents either rotting or

There should always be some box or
barrel to enclose the apple before
burying them, and they should be cov

when these troubles turn Into roup,

tagious diseases, then It is far better
to kill the patient. It must not be for
gotten that poultry and eggs are food
for us, and diseased poultry and egg
are as dangerous as diseased beef or
pork would be. We firmly believe that
when a fowl once contracts a con
taglous disease the taint can never be
eradicated from the system, and we
will not eat such meat, no matter
bow apparently cured the fowl may
be. Netither will we eat eggs laid by
hens that have hud a contagious dis

No more animal Is more likely to
suffer from lack of water than Is the
hog. This Is mainly because this stock
is often fed milk or swill, the latter

and both ntterly unfit to take the place

Are pure breeds high? This may be
considered by examining the methods
In England. No farm In that country
contains any but choice beef cattle, as
the farmers endeavor to excel In choice
beef. ' Although the English farmers

of cattle for over a century, yet It Is
nothing unusual for a choice bull.to sell

ticed that there 1 quite a difference
between "Inferior" and "extra choice"
grade. . The difference between 3 and
4 cents per pound Is but 1 cent, but It
represents $2.60 on a 250-pound hog.
Only the "extra choice" brings the
highest price, and no farmer should
sell auytblng that cannot be so graded.
Good beef cattle should not weigh
