aspect, but
tbe more
remarkable
in its cause;
a cause
wMch gives
warning to
many ob
Htinate peopie. The
is that
of a gentle
man, who.
u.hilese&U:d
at hia din
n er-table.
urroundea
by his family, suddenly became frantic, and
brandishing a carving knife drove his wit
and children from ihe house. In an instant
he had become a raving mauiac The cause
was said to be an unremitting pain In ha
head, which he suffered for months, (a danr
ger-slgnal unheeded), which finally resulted
In congestion and in overturning his brain. He
never recovered. A similar case is the follow
ing, which however, under different treat
ment resulted in saving and prolonging a lite.
Mr. Bam'l B. bhlplor. Paragon, Indiana,
writes July 30. 188, that he had suffered with
pains In his head from sunstroke for '1 years,
which were cured by St. Jacobs Oil and have
remained so four years. The final result
might have been in hia case, without thissure
relief, death or something worse an incur
able mania. Congestion takes place in the
muscles as well as the nerves and rheuma
tism is traceable, very often, directly to a con
gested condition. For instance, a sudden,
draft of air to the heated body causes achill
and the chill produces congestion.

Alkaline Soil.
Colorado and California are giv
ing much experimental attention
to alkaline soils. Inasmuch as
there are large tracts of these
lands within the borders of the
North Pacific, we think it not out
of the place to refer to this sub
ject, so that the attention of our
people may reclaim them.
The three principal ingredients
of alkali salt are common salt,
Glauber salts and sal-soda. The
latter gives rise to what is popu
larly known as back alkali, because
it forms with the humus of the
soil a dark-colored solution. The
black is many times more injuri
ous to vegetation than the white
alkali. Advantage is taken of this
fact in applying gypsum to the
black alkali lands, and thus chang
ing the sal-soda into Glauber
salts. It is claimed that a dress
ing of gypsum in many cases is all
that is needful to insure profitable
cultivation. This is only partially
successful, however, as the white
alkali still remains in the soil.
While gypsum could be used to
much advantage on a great deal of
these lands, drainage is really the
correct remedy. Much of these
lands are so situated that a drain
age outlet is difficult, and inasmuch
as most if not all alkali lands are
found above a hardpan or hard,
lmprevious strata, a good way to
drain is to cut holes through the
hardpau. To do this quickly and
cheaply dig a square hole a couple
of feet square down a little lower
than the plow will ever go. Then
use a common post-hole borer.
After the hole has been sunk deep
enough place some sort of cover
over the hole at the place where
the borer was started, leaving a
good outlet for water. Of course
if small drains were dug leading
to these drain-holes, reclamation
would be hastened. Clover is the
best first crop. Rural Spirit end
Willamette Farmer.
Mortgages and indebtedness, es
pecially in the case of farms, is
by no means an evidence of ap
proaching insolvency. In almost
all the states the mortgage on the
farm represents purchase money.
Many farmers continue to buy
"the land next to them" all their
lives, and perhaps alwaj's have a
mortgage out on more or less of
their laud. In the new sections
nearly every farm is mortgaged;
but that proves nothing. The
parties owning these farms may be
deeply in debt, but nevertheless
may be far better off than they
were before they bought a farm on
deferred payments. Elevator and
Grain Trade.
We quite agree that the mort
gages in Kansas, as a rule, money
borrowed for the purchase of
homes or farms, or their improve
ment It is no shame for a new
state to have such debts; it merely
shows an enterprising poor popu
lation of farmers who by their
thrift will win in the long run.
Mortgages are an ab
solute necessity to all new dis
dricts and should not be regarded
as wholly a curse. Farmers' He
view. Every acre, every bit of proper
ty conveyed to aliens who have no
intention of becoming citizens is a
standing menance to our liberties.
The question may be pertinently
asked: Where shall our surplus
of millions find investment if we
part with our birthright for for
eign gold? Once let foreign cap
italists get a firm footing here and
it will at once be found that there
is an alien hand on the throttle of
every American engine and a for
eign pilot at the wheel. Journal

There is a possibility that care
less readers seeing so much in the
papers about abandoned farms
just now. will think that some sud
den depression or disaster has
overtaken agriculture. This is
not so. Hie abandonment of
these farms has been going on, in
some cases, for half a century,
the general breakiug out of so
much newspaper talk does not im
ply that the causes are recent.
Agriculture of 1889-90 is not nec
essarily under a cloud because o
farms were abandoned anywhere
from ten to fifty years ago. iv.

Fonrteen Men Lose Their Lives.
At Louisville, Ky., an appalling
accident occurred Jan. 9th, about
6 p. m., by which fourteen men
were engulfed in quicksand.
The unfortunate men were at
work in caisson No. 1, about ten
yards from the Kentucky shore,
used in the construction of the
bridge between Louisville and
Jeffersonville.
The cause and incidents of the
catastrophe were obtained from
workmen who escaped. They are
as follows:
The last man out of the caisson
was Frank Haddeix. He was
barely saved by Murray who
dragged him from where he was
caught waist deep in the quick
sand. Abe Taylor, one of the sav
ed, says he 6tood nearest the iron
ladder by which they got in and
out. He heard a rumbling, and
there was a rush of air at almost
the same instant. He jumped up
the rungs of the laddei followed
by the other men. They had
hardly got through the caisson
when the water burst through the
manhole, knocking the men all in
to the river where they were all
picked up. Haddeix said he saw
Morris, who was climbing next
below himself, swiftly drawn un
der by the sand and heard his
cries for help but could do noth
ing. The caisson was not wrecked, as
at first supposed, but has settled
down in the bed of the stream,
and is completely filled with sand
and water. The pumping station
was immediately put to work
clearing a way to the bodies.
The negroes who escaped say
that John Knox, the gang boss,
had them dig too deep before let
ting the caisson settle and the dig
ging was too close to the shoe of
the caisson. Just before the ac
cident Knox gave some order to
keeper in charge of the upper door
to the exit He opened the door
and the compressed air which
kept out the river rushed out, let
ting in the stream. Tbe men say
they were working in an ugly
quicksand at the time. The cais
son was about, forty feet long by
twenty, and built of timbers
twelve inches square. The killed
are William Hayes, John Knox,
McAdams, of Hyde Park,
Pa.; Frank Mahar, New .Jersey;
Pat Naylor, of Philadelphia;
and the following colored persons
from Henderson Ky., Thos. Ash,
Monroe Bowling, Chas. Chiles,
Thos. Johnson, Joseph Goodon,
Hamilton Morris, Frank Soaper
and Ptobt. Tyler.
LIGHTED BY AN ELECTRIC WIRE.
The Western Union Telegraph Building in
St. Loais Nearly Destroyed.
St. Loiis, Jan. 8 Shortly before 7
o'clock this morning a fire started in the
basement of the Western Union telegraph
building, corner of Olive and Third i
streets. Tt soon nycendel through tUe
air shaft from the first to the tup floor, j
At 9 :30 the fire was under control, but:
the entire building was practically I
catted. All the Western Union wires '
bnrned out. . j
A network of wires led into the buld-j
ins by the way of I he roof. The storm i
of yesterday loaded them down with a j
heavy coating of ice. Yesterday and
last night many breaks occurred. This
morniusr the wire leading to the base
ment came in contact with a broken I
electric wire, at once setting the building
on fire. The basement has bat few peo
ple in it, and the fire had gotten beyond
control when discovered. The tire de
partment made a hard fight, but tbe
mass of wires, which almost shut out
the light of the street, prevented success
ful work, and the firemen would not
risk their lives in cutting them till the
electric currents were turned off.
The Associated Press olfi.-e on the sec
ond floor was totally destroyed. There
were but few persous in the building
when the fire started, although several
firms occupied offices and stores
in the building. Their estimated loss is
8100,000, of which the Western Union
loses half. The building was an old one,
and in addition to the Western Union
Teleraph Company, was occupied by the
offices of the Associated Press, Daily
Printing Company, Allen & Giuter Ciga
rette Company, Bradley" Printing and
Roll Company, and one or two other
offices.
