The house today completed the consideration of the senate amemiemnta to the Indian appropriation bill, and sent the bill to conference. The main contention ceil' tered about the senate proposition to open the Uncompahgre Indian reeerva tiou under the mineral land laws. Finally an amendment was recommend ed to the effect that no corporation should be allowed to obtain possession of the gilsonite deposits, but that the government would lease the lands in limited areas, and for limited terms of years. The senate amendment strik ing from the house bill the provisioi lor tne ratification of the oil and gas leases made by the council of the Sen' eea Indians last December after a sharp debate was disagreed to. Bland attempted early in the ses sion to secure action on a resolution re lating to the Union Pacitio mortgages, which he triod to offer last week, but the speaker rulod that the resolution was not privileged.

The execution took place at 11:15 A. M., immediately after the ar rival of the mail steamer Lydia Thomp son from beattle. She brought no re prieve from the governor, and the mur derer's lost hope waa gone. About twenty-five persons witnessed the execution, which was within small incloaure outside the jail. Sher iff Jones adjusted the noose and sprung the trap. Straub's neck waa broken instantly. The two physicians in at tendance report tnat death resulted in nine minutes.

Of her crew of 400 men, only seventy-seven will be retained On the shin. They will be commanded by four commissioned officers and three warrant officers. The small crew re tained on the ship will be sufficient to train the men assigned to her, being thoroughly familiar with all her pecu liarities. The 800 odd men saved from the Columbia's crew by the reduction will be transferred to the battle-ship Iowa. Will Hit ra Hard. Ottawa, April 28. The new tariff announced by the government will hit the United States pretty hard. In that regard it is popular here, but doubly so on account or the preference it males in favor of British goods. These preferential terms for Great Britain and other countries disposed to receive Canadian products at favorable rates, the finance minister explained in par liament, would be in the form of re ductions from the general list at one- eighth for the first year, and after that period they would be one-quarter of the rate in the general tariff. These reductions would apply to all schedules except those imposing duties intended for revenue on such articles as wines, tobacco, cigars and cigarettes. Lena' Alleged Murderers. , Washington, April 26.

The magistrate found that there was not sufficient evidence to warrant the conviction of the acensed and dismissed the charges, a matter of small moment after all, considering the fact that none of the accused had been held guilty by the authorities. A Matter of Time. Murray, Idaho, April 26. In the little town of De Borgia, just over the Montana line, a most peculiar suit has commenced. Last November John W. Connel was injured by a falling tree, so that his leg had to be cut off. He was then the holder of a paid-np accident policy, which expired at noon the day the accident occurred. It was precisely 11:30 A. M-, mountain time, when he was hurt The policy was issued in Iowa, and the company issuing it takes the stand that its life must be meas ured by the time at the point where it was issued, and that, measured by the Iowa time, it had already expired. The suit is for 2,500. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER. Dawning, Roakla 4 Company's Jtevlew of Trade, The past week lias been a very active one in the wheat market, price ad' vancing materially and substantially. Liquidation by the long interest tins ceased and the speculative short Bedel's have been liberal hnyer to cover pre vious sales. The prinoipal causes for this reversal have been the renewed ex port demand and the unprecedented large salos of flour, mostly for home consumption. In addition, crop pros pects in American are much leas favor able. The winter wheat crop now promises no important increase com' pared with that of last year. The er eessive moisture has generally retarded the seeding of spring wheat, particular ly in the Northwest, where severe floods in the Bed river and Jim river valleys promise' to seriously delay spring seeding, and Is certain to pre vent any large increase in acreage sown as compared with last year, v f Hot winds in California have caused extensive damage and advanced prices in San Francisco markets equal to 12c per bushel The total crop yield now promises not to be sufficiently larger than that of lost year to meet the increasing demand for American breadstuffs by importing countries. In this connection it should be remembered that sinoe the war with China, Japan has subsidised her mer chant marine with the war indemnity. The consequent reduction in ocean freight , rates has led to large sales of wheat and flour to Japuu and China, amounting to 28,000,000 bushels during the present crop year. The opening! up of tli is new market for our wheat is certain to have a stimulating effect on values. Nothing but the lack of specu lation prevents an advance in prices. The export demand, if continued, with our present small stocks, may lead to inoreased speculative activity and fur nish the market with that support the lack of which caused the recent de cline. -.: TOPICS FOB' FARMERS A DEPARTMENT PREPARED OUR RURAL FRIENDS. FOR ke Bast Kind of Cora for Bnalla Bow to riant Apple Orchard Grease Will Destroy Lice on Cattle Farmer Who Are Land Poor. Corn for Euallaar. Quality of feed put Into the silo counts for as much there as It does If fed dry. This has an Important bearing on the kind ot corn to plant for the silo. It Is not now the practice, as It used to be, to look exclusively or even maluly to a great bulk of forage without regard to It quality. But where the large Southern corn that will not ear so far north Is sown thickly, the Immense growth of stalks without any grain and with very small nutritive value, makes a feed so poor that It needs a great deal of grain or meal to perfect the ration, Some good farmers of our acquaint ance have sown this Southern corn for the last time. The early Flint or Dent varieties, drilled thinly enough to make at least a nubbin on every stalk, can be made to grow twelve to flfteeu ton of green fodder per acre on rich land. If this corn Is cut and put In alio when the grain Is In the milk, there wlU be more valuable nutriment In It tbr.n in twenty to twenty-live ton of pale white stalks that hare hardly enough carbon la them to heat and form the carbonic add gas that preserve the ensilage from spoiling. The richer the talks, so that they be green and suc culent, the sweeter the ensilage will be. Sour ensilage always indicates that the quality of the fodder was too poor to get up rapid fermentation, which would exclude air and prevent the fer ment going to the point of making vinegar, thus destroying much nutri tion.

If the land can be made to produce more without enlarging the area the cost of the crop will be reduced.

There Is no animal that will convert the weeds and wastes that grow on every farm Into ready cash like sheep. They will eat almost every kind of weed that grows, even to thistles. They soon banish weeds from pastures where they are red from year to year, and if they do not clean the fence corners, lands, bush borders, fallow fields and byways It Is because they do not get a chance. There Is no way of checking wild mustard so effectively as by growing sheep fed on the land from year to year and allow ing the sheep to feed upon It Sheep are also noted for Increasing the fertility of the soil. No one who stocks his land well with sheep has his land shorn of Its fertility. This Is a very Important matter, and one of the great advantage In keeping sheep. In establishing a small flock of sheep pure bred sheep can now be got so rea sonable In price that the difference In the cost between pure bred registered sheep and grade or common sheep I but trifling as compared with the many advantages a pure-bred flock has over the others. A pure-bred sheep Is al ways as good as a grade for the drover or butcher, and an extra good, well bred sheep will always command an extra price. In any event, the sires nsed In every flock should be of some of the pure breeds of sheep, of which there are so many to select from. It Is the little extra care and attention to breeding and feeding that makes the profit Tomatoes. Tomatoes at the Minnesota station were forced in rich soil over well-rotted hay. Farm Notes. The editor of one of the leading dairy Journals state that If one-half of the; cows now giving milk, Intelligently se lected for that purpose, could bo slaughtered within a week, the remain ing half would yield a greater profit than Is now realized from the whole. The feeding of cut hay and pulped roots to stock demonstrates that steers will make a larger gain In weight than when the same foods are fed unpre pared, as much as 33 per cent Increase having been noticed.
