Dr. Khcldon Jackson, general agent for tho bureau of education in Alaska, has arrived in Heattlo from the laud of lii.H labors, having taken paspngo on tho City of Toouka from ICetchiiin. Ho brings additional details of tho experiences of Lieutenant Ilertholf, who was sent to Kilwria to purchnso reindeer for the government. Dr. Jackson tells a different tale of tho daring young revenue olliccr, who, it now appears, was never in danger, and near starvation in his long and teutons journey through Siberia. Lieutenant. Ilertholf left Washing ton, 1). C, last January, going to tit. Petersburg, thence to Irkutsk. From thero ho disapppcared on tho steppes. His mis'ion, as s'atcd above, was to procure a nerd of rein deer of larger size than thoso now in Alaska. A rovenue cutter was to meet him and convey tho animals, and tho lieutenant, to Alaska, but owing to circumstances, tho govern ment could not send ono, ami it was thought for a time ho might perish. A short tinio ago tncro came u brief notice; that he , hud. landed, at Port Clarence with a herd of rein deor. Ho was not expected to return for a year or more, but his usual re sou reef u I ability evidently brought him out earlier. Ho traveled across Itussiii and Siloria very ran'dly, coing with trained guides in storms often whon many men would havo rested in some camp retreat. After leaving tho railway, ho tra versed 1,500 miles of uutnown Siberia until near Orla, on tho Okhotsk sea, h" found tho bred of reindeer ho wanted, purchased 254 head and got them to Daroncss Korfg bay, whero hlnmcut could bo mado. Ho then retraced his steps to Vladivostock under very trying conditions. In ono instance broko a trail thiouuli snow waist deep for a distanco of 100 milcn. This ho accomplished by rid ing tlio reindeer ahead, under saddle, taking turns as they became exhaust ed witli tho continued effort. . Arriv ing at Vladivostock, Lieutenant Ilert holf chartered a Kussian tramp steamer and returned to tho point whero ho had tho reindeer located, loaded thorn safely and landed them u excellent condition at Port Clnr- enco, wnero tnoy aro now Doing wintorcd.

Schley Court of Inquiry Said to Re Cauie of Much blnatlitactlon. Washington, Oct. 31, President Itoosevelt scemi determined to caiiso ii shako up in the Inner circles and bureaus of tho navy department as n result of tho revelations of tlio Hohley court of inquiry. When Assistant Secretary Hackctt suddenly decided to resign a few days ago, it was recalled that ho had al ways been an intense partisan of Kamjisou, and further developments, not entirely pleasant for Sampson's particular friends or supporters in tho department, were looked for. They camo yesterday, when it was announced that Kcar Admiral Crown- inshiolil, chief ol the bureau of nnvi- ngtion, would bo suspended before the usual term of four years lor which he was chosen expires. His successor uiill bo Hear Admiral Taylor, and Crnwinshicld, who took tho lead in securing a court of inquiry for Schloy, will ho deported to Kurope, there to take charge of tlio new European station. It is a current report that when Theodore Itoosevelt was assistant secretary of tho navy ho clashed witluCrowiushielil, and this, besides his intense partisanship for Schley, is set forth as a reason for tho bureau chief's removal. It is said Crownin shield flatly opposed bringing tho Oregon around the Horn to Cuban waters, while Mr. Itoosevelt as strong ly favored it, and won, with Secre tary Long's help. Officials of the navy department unhesitatingly say that it is honey combed with a partisan feeling for Sampson. These admissions, coupled with the Hackctt and Crowninshield developments, aro what caused tho crpectation of a thorough overhaul ing of the naval department machin ery from tho assistant down a boom erang effect of tho Shlcy trial which tho prime movers did not look for. Within n few days Mr. Hackett has received threatening letters, and strange men havo called at his homo and frightened his family, until they called for police protection. MOST MAY ESCAPE! Certificate of Reasonable Doubt Granted by Supreme Court Judge. New York. Oct. 31. Justico Mc Lean in tho supreme court, today granted n certificate of reasonable doubt in tho caso of Johattn Most, editor of tho Frcheit, an anarchist paper, in order to stay his sentence of 12 months' imprisonment for tho publication of an articlo entitled "Murder vs. Murder," which np pcarcd tho day of President McKin 1 y's nssassination. Justice McLean s ys tho only proof to support tlio judgment is that Most purloined nn article expressing certain sentiments, written,- hy nnother half a century ago. and published it as his own, "in a paper professedly of sumo circula tion, but which circulation is shown by tlio salo of but n single copy, that purchased by tho police, probably for tho purposo of prosecuting." ilo tur ther says that it may lie doubted reas onably whether tho judgment, oven with that support, should stand, as plagiarism is not a criminal offenso under the laws of the United States, BRITISH CAMP ATTACKED.

Ho suffered a sight nervous attack, late yesterday, but remained sullen and stoic up to tho timo the prison closed at 10 o'clock. Ho refused to heed tho words of tho priests who came to urge spiritual preparation for death and declined to re-embrace Itoman Catholicism or to renounce anarchism. Czolgosz showed no strength of lovo for kin, nor did ho turn to any of those higher consider ations which ordinarily claim tho thoughts of men occupying his posi tion. Ho may havo suffered untold torture, but outwardly he seemed sullen and indifferent. Tho state is not to surrender ' possession of his body, and by sundown it will have been secretly, interred in ground con trolled by tho officials of Auburn prison. Czolgosz held his last two inter views last ninht, tho first with Super intenuent Collins and tho second with his brother and brother-in-law. Uoth of the interviews were brief.

Dave It. Miller. In St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Unprofitable llrchnrl. Thero are a great many orchards about the country that are being abaa doncd because they are unprofitable. As a matter of fact, the abandonment of these orchards Is due, nlnety-ulne times out of a hundred, to the wrong methods of the owner. There have been recent reports of the abandonment of peach orchards In Georgia, and that. too, right In the heart of the region famous as a profitable peach country. Successful peach growers In Georgia give their trees nnd the soil In which they are planted constant, intelligent care, and as a result their venture Is profitable. The owners of the unprotlt. able orchards set out the trees, and af ter a year or two gradually abandon them to their fate. It Is true they may occasionally fertilize the soil, and pei haps keep It In fair cultivation for a year or two. They seem to think this Is all that Is necessary, nnd when profit able crops do not result, they become discouraged. If fruit growers are of the opinion tbnt they can make the In dustry pay by simply setting out trees, It Is time that they turn over a new leaf, and understand thoroughly that fruit growing Is prolltnhle only when It Is conducted on business principles. Exchange. W'rs Fence Conven'ciiee. A wlro fence always presents to those who understand the "power" of Its barbs a formidable appearance, and, In truth.

It Is simply a double stepladder, and can bo constructed by any ono at nil handy with tools In a short time, tho railing consisting or gas plpo, tno low er ends of which should bo deeply In serted Into the ground. Whero a wlro fenco has to be crossed frequently In sotno out-of-the-way locality this de vice Is of great valuo. Fitting Ilorae Co lors.

It Is moro than probable that uln'o out of every ten horses who I nro nflllctcd with galled shoulders, cs A peclnlly during tho warm weather, suf fer from Ill-fitting collars, men nn old collar can ho adjusted hy tho meth od mentioned. Galled shoulders may )o avoided by taking off the collar each Ight and washing It thoroughly, 1 his moves all of the perspiration and tho dust on tho collar. Home-Mi le Wiutmllln. Tho homo-uiado windmills seem to io most plentiful In tlio Htnto of No- raska, along the broad valley of tlio latte river, and from Omalin. west to the Stato line; for over tlvo hundred miles they nro to bo found In great numbers. They are often crude In ap pearance and of comparatively low effi ciency, put the aggregate amount of work they do Is hy no means Inslgniu eant. They will pump water for tho stock and house, run light machinery ahout.the farm, and soinotlmes furnish water to Irrlgato small tracts of land. Tho most Important feature In the con traction of thoso Iioiiie-mnuo mills Is cheapness, henco the Ingenuity of tho fanner Is shown by tho use of odds and ends, which ho works Into his mill to savo the purchase of new material. Old wlro and bolts, scrap lumber and old poles, neglected parts of buggies, mow ers and reapers, cranks, chains nnd sprocket wheels, all find their way Into these strange windmills. Many of tlio mills have cost their makers nothing at all but time, others have cost $2 or ?3, and occasionally In tho case of the more elaborate ones tho cost may run to 25, $50 or $75. hilt $2.50 Is the fair average for a very largo number, U. S. Geological Survey Bulletin. Swellel Jans in Flieep. There has been considerable com plaint of late years by many sheep rais ers that some of the animals aro trou bled with swellings under the Jaw, and when such swellings were lanced only water came trora the opening. Such swellings arc of a dropsical nature, nnd tho trouble Is termed anaemia by vet erlnatlans. The term anaemia. Indi cating as It docs a lack of blood In the system, should point out to the suecp raiser the probability of there being something wrong In his system of feed ing. True, the trouble may come from some Internal parasite, such as the stomach worm, but the chances are It Is due wholly to poor feeding. hen the swellings appear on the Jaws of the sheep the animals should at once bo put on a better ration, such as a mix ture of ground oats, bran and on meai. This ration should bo given three tlmea a day, and o. teaspoonful of a mixture of equal parts or unea suipuate oi uu, ground gentian and ginger root should he given In the feed for each sheep. Of course, the usual roughage should not he omitted from the ration. Indianapo lis News. Winter PproyinR of Fmlt Treei. In sections of- the West the growing of cherries has developed into a prom ising Industry, but during the past sea son the trees have suffered much from fungous diseases which caused the fo liage to dron. The only relief from this trouble comes from spraying, and during the winter the cherry nnd plum grower can put up a stiff fight against tho trouble nnd do much toward over coming It. The proper solution Is four pounds of blue vitriol to each fifty gal lons of water. Less solution will bo needed during the time the foliage Is off the trees, hence the work Is less ex pensive lhan summer spraying. Tho spores of the fungus are lodged about ' the buds on the trees and ure easily reached with the Insecticide after tho foliage Is dropped. Two or threo spray ings during the winter, tho Inst ono Just before growth starts In the spring, will do much toward rlddlug tho or chards of fungous diseases. Top-riresslns Meadowi. In many sections thero is a strong prejudice against the fall top-dressing of meadows, the claim being that tho effect of the dressing Is lost beforo growth begins In tho spring. This Is nn assumption that is scarcely warrant ed In most cases, for even If stable ma nure Is used as a dressing It Is fair to assume that tho grass roots will get the benefit of nt least a portion of it, enough to make It pay for the applica tion. A mixture composed Of one-third muriate of potash, one-third tine bono and one-third nitrate of soda Is nn Ideal one for top-dressing meadows. An ap plication of 500 pounds of this mlxturo to the aero seems expensive, but when it means better hny and moro of It, Is It not profitable even though It figures up at the rate of about ?3 for each ton of hay? New Industry for Farmers. In so mo sections whero there nre a number of breeders of poultry for tho fancy market tho chicks aro farmed out. That Is, tuey aro placed In the bauds of farmers who can give them plenty of rnnge. Many breeders pay a stated rent per acre for the raugo oc cupied by tho chicks; others work with tho farmer on tho sharo plan. This method Is ndoptcd because breeders understand that they can obtain hotter and stronger fowls when they nro raised on the range than In nny other way. It Is certaluly fair to assume that If tho farmer will pet about learning tho principles of poultry raising he will succeed In tho work, for ho has every thing In his favor nnd lacks only tlio knowledgo of tho requirements of poul try. Fait the Cows Dally. Do not omit tho dally nllownnco of salt to tho cows. Salt not only Is an appetizer, but It Is an ajd to digestion nnd especially to digestion of tho pro tein elements In feed. Tho old fashion of taking a ineasuro of salt onco or twice a week and scattering It on the grass, with the cows frantic, to get at It, Is not tho best way to supply this condiment
