Denver, May 10. A special to the
Republican from Cheyenne, Wyo.,
says: An attempt was made this
morning by unknown persona to wreck
the Incoming Cheyenne & Northern
passenger train by misplacing a switch
La tbe yards at the northern entrance
to the city. Owing to the fact that the
train was running slowly, no damage
Wal done derailing the locomotive. The
authorities discovered tonight that the
parties who attempted to wreck the
train are several Union Pacific brake
men, one of whom made a full confes
sion of the affair to City Attorney
Brerkoas. The switob was tnrned with
the expectation that the Cheyenne &
northern employes would be blamed
: for it and discharged, and extra Union
Pacific men would be given work in
their places. Warrants were issued
tonight for two of the brakemen impli
cated, and they will be arrested tomor

El Continent Americano, which is the
rgan of the Mexican sympathisers
with the Cuban insurgents, at tbe in
stigation of the Duke of Arcos, the
Spanish minister, who complains that
tbe paper bas insulted a friendly na
tion. The editors are young Mexican
students, and popular sympathy is
with them. The arrest is causing
much comment, but it could not be
helped, as the Spanish minister pre

the law, action had to be taken. The
outcome ia watched with great interest.
The insurgents have engaged the best

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Downing Hopkins Company's Review
f Trad.
The wheat market was very dull dur
ing the past week. On Saturday a
speculative demand sprung upon a
"tip" that the coming government re
port on growing winter wheat would
show a decline in condition of about 5
points and have a tendency to enhance
values.
The slow demand from abroad for
our wheat is especially discouraging, as
the inquiry is below anything figured
early in the season, on this side of the
Atlantic or on the other other. When
the figures of total production were first
compiled the only question that agi
tated speculators . was the problem of
how tbe world was going to get along
with so light supply, without prices
advancing to a point that would turn
enough consumption to aubstiutea for
wheat, to make tbe less quantity of it
do for the whole crop year. , Most peo
ple thought then that nothing short of
90o to (1 a bushel would do it. There
is where the mistake seems to lie.
About 75o in the primary markets
turned away enough wheat bread eaters
to substitues to lengthen sufficiently
the supply, for all practical purposes.
Even at the moderate prices prevailing
last week, this country's foreign ship
ments were away under 8,000,000
bushels. The low price of corn at 85c,
of rye at 83o, barley at 85a, and oats at
18o are particularly attractive to the
praoitcial economist who supplies the
family table, in these times, when so
many are idle or in a state bordering
upon idleness. The official wheat
yield in this country was something of
an error, but the nsual commercial reck
oning was not much astray. The fault
of calculation seems to be in the price
that would turn so many consumers to
the otteaper cereals.

From tht Industrial News, Jackson, Mich,
The Industrial News, ever on tin
alert to bring its readers all items of in
tercet, learned of the entire ours of one
of Jaokson county's prominent ottisens,
Mr. Lorenso Neeley, of Liberty town
ship, who had suffered with the twangs
and pangs of 'rheumatism (or over
thirty years.
In order to give authentio tacts, an
Industrial News representative Inter
viewed Mr. Neeley and elicited the
following facts: : -
Mr. Lorenso Neeley is 66 years of
age, and actively engaged in farming.
When 17 years old by an unfortunate
accident be hurt his shoulder, and a
few years after that he commenced to
have rheumatic pains in his shoulders.
This would not always trouble him, but
on taking a slight cold or the least
strain, or sometimes without any ap
parent cause the trouble would start
again and he would suffer the most ex
cruciating pams.
For over thirty years he has thus
suffered, and for the last decade has
suffered continually' so that he was
unable to do any work. To this the
frequent occurrences of dizzy spells was
latelv added, making nun almost a
helpless invalid.
He tried the best physicians but with
out getting any help, and has tried sev
eral specific rheumatic oures, but all
without any appreciable relief. About
one year and six months ago he read in
the Jaokson Industrial News of a case
somewhat similar to his which was
on red by the use of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills lor Pale People, and he concluded
to try this remedy. -
After the first box he felt somewhat
better, and after taking three boxes the
pains entirely disappeared and the dizzi
ness left him, and be has now for over
a year been entirely free front all his
former trouble ad enjoys better health
than he has had since his boyhood.
Mr. Neeley is loud in his praises of
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple, and will gladly corroborate the
above statements. His postoffice ad
dress is Lorenzo Neeley, Horton, Jack
son county, Michigan.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People contain, in a condensed form, all
the elements necessary to give new life
and richness to the blood and restore
shattered nerves. They are also a
specifio for troubles peculiar to females,
such as suppressions, irregularities and
all forms of weakness. They -build up
the blood, and restore the glow of health
to pale and sallow cheeks. , In men
they effect a radical cure in all cases
arising from mental worry, overwork or
excesses of whatever nature. , : Pink
Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose
bulk) at 60 cents a box or six boxes for
$3.60, and may be had of all druggists,
or direct by mail from Dr. Williams'
Medicine Company.Scbenectady, N. Y.

Gladness Comes
With a better understanding of tbe
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef
fort gentle efforte pleaant efforts
tightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, By rap of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it ia the only
remedy with mill ions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it nets. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by tbe Cali
fornia lor nvrup vo. only and sola by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative.
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs sta nds highest and is most krgely

BUYING FARM LAND.

TOO MUCH.
TO BUY
Prevailing Tendsncj la to Bay More
than Can He Cnltlvatad, and the
Farmer Takes on a Mortas;e that
Weta-fca Him Down.
Baying a Farai.
A great wuy men when they set out
to buy a farm are tempted to buy three,
six or nine time- as much land ss they
can handle. They want a quarter sec
tion for each member of the family or
they want to play off as a farmer on
majumoth scale. To carry out his plans
be h&s only half ss union money as he
needs, and be borrows enough to carry
him through with tbe purchase at least.
He at once conies under mortgage for
half the value of tbe land he has
bought He begins la the new country
at the bottom, has no money to Improve
with or to nav hired belu with. He
flounders In a desperate way until the
end comes. He has no mouey to buy
fuel for tbe cold weather season, and In
case of a general failure of the crops
he has no money to buy grain or other
feed to carry bis stock through the win
ter. We know of cases out West where
men are land poor. They own sections
of land tracts so large that they can
not work them. It Is choice land as
need be, but they cannot sell It. They
are tied to It We know of another case
where a man had a strong notion of be
coming the largest land owner In tbe
world. He bouirht land until his boun
dary lines were counted by times in
lensth. Then he went to farming. He
bought all the Improved patent farm
Implements that were known, and left
the most of them out of doors the year
round. This kind of farming resulted
lust as such farming always will re
sult Huge fields of corn left to go Into
the winter unhusked, tbe regular fall
work half done.
Another class of men must cut a re
spectable figure as farmers, and they
buy a half section or a section of land
may pay for the whole or go In debt for
part of the purchase money. The
land may be first rate, bat the man has
more land than he can work. He can
not more than about half farm tbe land
be has undertaken to work. He cannot
keep down the weeds nor properly fer
tilize bis ground. The hiring of help
as wanted Is very uncertain, these days
especially.
A Speculator buys 8.000 or 10,000
acres of land in a good locality. He Is
Interested in having settlements made
as fast around his purchase as possible.
He bas bought with the calculation that
the settlement of the country will make
him a fortune. The speculator's land
Is usually offered at a strong advance
on the price originally paid for It, but
on long-time payments, bearing
healthy rate of Interest Ia this way
a good many farmers nave been drawn
into trouble and some speculators hare
made money. It Is, however, the policy
of the government of this country to
have all lands sold la small holdings.
A man going Into a new part of the
country to buy a farm should make his
calculation to buy just as much land as
be can pay for end have enough money
left to Improve the purchase with. He
should have buildings of the right size
and for all purposes, and should hare
fencing of the right kind, so stock could
neither break in upon him nor break
out.' After the farm Is well fixed ev
ery farmer should bare a bank account
of 300 to $300, which is far better than
to have a mortgage to nurse from year
to year. How much anxiety and tron
ble bas tbe mortgage made.
We have seen It stated lately that the
amount of public land outside of that
which has been entered, exclusive of
Alaska, Is 600,000,000 acres. Of course,
whatever the amount Is, tbe estimate
takes In mountain, bill and dale, sand,
plain and every kind of worthless, un
productive land. It will yet be a long
time before all the land that Is really
desirable Is taken np snd put to prac
tical use. Tbe Indian reservations.

. Dwarf Feara.
There Is one great advantage of
dwarf trees over standard. They come
Into bearing earlier. A dwarf pear, for
Instance, is produced by budding on a
quince stock and matures sooner than
If on a pear stock. Dwarf trees should
be pruned at the top, otherwise they
are liable to fall over. More trees can
be planted on given space than of stan
dard size, bnt of course each tree will
not bear as profusely. The yield Is
nearly tbe same per acre for both. They
are In high favor with many, because
pruning, thinning, spraying and gath
erlng fruit can be done so much more
easily from small trees than from blgh
ones. Fruit Garden.
Fattening Calves.
Tbe first question which a butcher
asks about a calf offered for tbe sham
bles is bow It has been fed. If it bas
been" allowed to suckle tbe cow, the
calf Is In bis opinion all right, and will
dress as well as It looks. But this de
pending on suckling, though good for
the calf, helps to dry np the cow, and
to make ber uneasy when tbe calf Is
taken from ber. The advantage of the
suckling process Is that the calf gets
Its food slowly, and always warm. The
slowness with which the calf gets the
milk, and tbe muscular effort of the
mouth required to get It, mixes more
saliva with the nutrition and Insures
better digestion. But the owner of the
cow may properly Insist that the calf
shall not run with its dam, suckling a
little every hour or two. Give It two
meals per day, as nearly twelve hours
apart as possible, and tbe last few
minutes milk the richest part of the
milk, the stripping, Into a pall. It is
very rare that a calf will get from tbe
udder all that tbe human band will
do. , It Is this retention of tbe strip
pings In the udder that tends "to dry
cows so quickly when tbeir calves
suckle tbem. Exchange.
Baring Sjwcet Potato Pets.
Most nurserymen and seedsmen ere
glad to furnish sweet potato sets for
planting. They caa do It, too, more
cheaply than the average farmer who
has no greenhouse can do It for himself.
More sweet potatoes ought to be grown
by Northern farmers. They need a
warm, rich soil By selecting a cloudy
day, with probability of rata, the sets
will get rooted in a few hours and be
fo the t wilt. Tbe boms supply of
sweet potatoes eta ss easily be grown
bv farmers as ordinary potatoes, ex
nt that it Is rheansr and better to
buy the sets each year, is It Is very dlf
flcult to keoD the seed through the win
tur until blantlnir time. Those who
have greenhouses divide th seed hi
winter, and may multiply the sets V'
ernl times over from each eye before
sprlug. It Is this multiplication of sou
from single eyes that umxes it possum'
to sell sweet potato sets so cheaply.

Pekia Ducks end Watrr.
The IVkln duck Is very valunblt
variety, but It has the reputatlou of not
being bardy. If left to swim all tiiej
will lu cold weather, lh fowls wll
stiffen and become helpless. We Ions
ago learned that Oils variety needed
less water than any other, ami win uc
well If only occasionally on wsrm dnyt
allowed sufficient water to bathe snd
wnsu themselves In. If kept from
water the Tekla duck Is valuable
variety, belug very prolific aud matup

Baliaolllng for Orchards,
In setting out trees of any kind It It
beet not merely to make a wide, dee,
bole, but to thoroughly suImhiII all tin
laud that the tree roots are expected tr
occupy. If this Is done there will bt
much less Injury from dry weather the
flint summer, as the sulutolled earth
makes the best reservoir for water lu
time of need. Tills subsolllug Is Im
portant for land to be planted with
nursery stock, and la commonly prac
ticed by the most successful growers.
Shorthorn Carrot.
The large, coarse varieties of enrrott
most used for stock feeding are not sc
nutritious as Is tho shorthorn, which
grows most of Its bulk near the surface
or slightly above It As tbe shorthorn
carrot cau grow more thickly la tht
row, It Is nearly as productive as th
deeper setting varieties, and It Is abu
more easily harvested. Five to six
hundred bushels of the shorthorn car
rot may be grown per acre. This Is s
paying crop at the usual price of thli
root
Tess for Poor Polls.
There hi no better way to fertlltxi
poor land than to sow It with peas,
using phosphate of lime to furnish tin
mineral fertility that this crop reiitre
to perfect the seed. It Is not nitrogen
which tbe pea crop most needs othei
than what the pea roots supply by ills
Integrating air In the soil and liber
ating Its nitrogen. But to form the
grata both lime and phosphate are re
quired. With these supplied the soil
will grow richer every year.
Mineral Manares for Spring CrOna
To be effective mineral manures fot
spring and summer crops must lie ap
plied early. Tbey need some of thr
spring rains to dissolve the fertilise!
so that the plant roots can make use
of It. Beetdes, as Weather and soli be
come warm and dry there Is less need
of the fertiliser, as the soli Itself re
leasis more of Its own fertility undei
such conditions.
Fin Rceg Bed for Onions,
Tbe roller Is Indispensable for prepay
lug onion ground either for seed oi
sets. That with a shallow cultivation
to the depth of two Inches will make a
better seed bed then will deeper tillage.
If the soil Is made friable deep down
the onion may grow large, but It will
likely be thick necked and grow a crop
of scullions.

I have the best success with goose

Title of Admiral.
It should here be explained that tbf
title of "Admiral" was not used In En

don Nautical Magazine. In fact, tbe
better opinion Is that It was not so used
before tbe beginning of the fourteenth
century. He waa called Capltaneua
Marts (Captain of the Sea), "Keeper of
the seacoasts," "Captain of tbe King's
mariners." The title "Admiral" ot

Arabic amir or emir (prefect), was used
In foreign countries much earlier than
England, and came to us from
France. Frynne ("Animadversions."

and an Admiralty Court in England as
early as the time of Henry I., derived
from our ancient Saxon kings Alfred,
Edgar, Kthelred and others who bad

None of these kings probably was more
potent that King Edgar, who, possess

boring sea, sailed round about It ever?
