Story of the Crime. Ou Wednesday night, March 4, l!Hi;l, near the village of Wallace, Mohcrt Uivenbai k left the home ol his father alsmt K-'.M, and went to the home of one Faster Williams, colored, alxxit one mile away, to secure her services as a lalmrcr on his strawberry farm the next day. At thia house were two negro wo men, one negro man and a child. The evidence is that Biveubark made a contract with the two wom en aud the mail to come to his place to work for him the following day, and started away iu search ol other hands. As soon as the door waa closed aud ho hud proceeded eight or ten steps from the house, aud there waa no light visible ex cept the moon, which was shining brightly, the negroes heard the iUii:k, sharp report of a pistol and almost immediately Kivenlwtik pushed t lie door open aud fell in side the riKiiu, saying he .was shot. lie was followed closely by Teaeh ey, who sprang upon biiu and beat and kicked him unmercifully. When be bad finished with Biveu bark he turned to the negro wom an, Faster Williams, and Wan beating her over the head with the pistol, which was still smoking in his right hand, aud a stick iu his left, W hue this was going ou Hivenbark, having to some extent regained consciousness, got out the door and started home, lie pro ceeded about 150 yards dowu the road, when be fell exhausted, and began calling at the top of his voice for help. He was heard by Mr. Jim Dixon, a farmer near there, who came to his relief. He told Dixon that he had been shot by Dun Tcacbey without cause, aud knowing he could live but a very short time, he w ished to make a statement concerning the affair to some one while he was still iu his right mind. Dixon then called Mr. Harvey Booth, who came to the road, and together with aim beard the story of the killing from the lips of Biveubark, who said that when he left the house he met Dsn Teaehey, who said r "By , what are you doing beret" Biveu bark replied, "I am here to get these people to help me work my strawberries," learbcy then said, "Hod d m y6u, they get their liv ing without work and I am going to kill you," and fired, with the result above mentioned. 1 lie null took effect In the right side of the abdomen, causing ileal h two days' WHEN YOTR LAND OETS INDI- 1 irticlc, thus furnishing available later, alxuit 6 o'clock Friday after- j UE5TION. - I plant food.

Plenty of vegetable matter logical Analysis of Soils," might for bacteria the digestion cells ol scare some readers, aud for that the soil -to feed Umu, and thor reason we have chose u a different ough cultivation, will make asick heading for our article. We assure soil wave with productive crops, them that a Wtcriuui (singular fr There is a rawer relation lietweeu bacteria) ia something that one man aud the, soil than we some need not be afraid of, aud it is well tiu.es imagine. Both of them are that we should know just how he liable to indigj-stiou, aud as the is helping us.

The reason this plot, with a supply of phosphorus to last a blind ml years, had ls-comc ex hausted was simply Is-cause it was not in shape to U- available for I lie plants. ou say what hits this to do with mirrolH-s or hucteriut A very great leal. The trouble with the Itoth- a tn at cad soil, and the trouble with nearly all so-called exhausted soils, is not that tliev are deficient in the lemeuts supplied by commercial frit Mixers, but because they are de-licit-lit in vegetable matter humus something for the bacteria or nil crols-s to feed on. It is through these that the unavailable forms of plant food become available. To piote from the bulletin: 'W hen vegetable or animal mat ter is incorporated with the soil it undergoes a process of decay. In this decay certain products are formed which react iimiii the insol uble or unavailable forms of plant food iu the soil and render them soluble and available. This latter decay is brought ulsmt through the agency of myriads of bacteria pres ent in the soil." Here is an idea which may be uite new to many of our readers, and yet it explains a good many things that happen in their exjieri- euce. i ou must use vegetable mat ter in order to make your mineral matter available to plants; in other words, to allow digestion and as similation to go ou. The bacteria of the soil are simply cells and they work quite similar to what the mils which line the glands of onrown Ixjdies do in the process of diges tion. No matter how much fisid we may have in our stomach, or the stomachs of our live stock, it does neither them nor us any good unless it is digested. If our digeg tion is out of order, or if we take something indigestible into our stomachs, we run to the drug stores to get patent medicines. If some thing is the matter with our lands which we do not understand we buy commercial fertilizers. What we need in either case is to get our digestive system at work regularly without tonics or stimulants, and the best tonic yon ran give to your laud is vegetable matter. This will start digestion to work by giving it something to work ou and the rest it does itself. Man suffers from indigestion; so does the soil, and the woru out soil is simply one that has a bad rase of dyspepsia. Give it something for the bacteria to work on and they will increase and multiply and digest even the rocky force than his system is supplying biiu day by day. so soil that is troubled with indigestion is using up plant food faster than it can be made available in the soil and it, like a dysieptic man, goes into a decline anil is said to lie morn out We do not think the gissl Lord in tended the soils of the Mississippi Valley to lie worn out iu ten, fitly or five hundred years, and they will not he unless the fanner allows them to get au attack, through his neglect or inefficiency, of either acute or chronic iudigestiou. THE BEEF PARADOX. Raw Material Is Cheaper Than Ev er. Finished Product is Dearer. Discussing "The Greatest Trust iu the World," Mr. Charles Fd ward Bussell says, in the July in stalment iu KverylMsly's: ''Iu the three years ending Jan uary 1, IIhi.i, the value of the Ins-1 cattle of the Fuited States declined $li;.'t,(HMI,KH. "I cull attention to this fact, of ficially reported. It is pivotal. The whole discussion turns Uhiii it. "The value of cattle has declined. Has the price of meat to the con sumer declined! "The tables from the retail mar kets of dillcrcnt cities do not show that meat has U-come cheaper. They show that it has ls-comc steadily dearer. "Here, then, is the great slgnih cant truth we are to fare: The cost of the raw material has diminished. The price of tlie finished product has increased. "In the history of commerce no such condition has existed without designed and abnormal control and manipulation. Without abnormal manipulation no such condition would lie possible. If the cost of the raw material and the cost of the finished product had kept some measure of relative pace, one ignor ant of or blind to the operation of this trust might assert that raw material and finished product to gether had merely taken part in a worldwide movement of rising prices. No one can say that now. The discrepancy is too glaring. Tlie ntw material is cheaper; the finished product is dearer. In view of this fact, what shall we think of those laborious arguments by which a government department tries to show that this trust is no trust, that the packers' profits are very small, that the public has no rea son to complaint Where are the 'hooks' now that will explain cheap cattle aud dear la-eft And of w hat value are any 'reports' against the certain, plain dollar and cents ex IM'i ience of every householder iu tlie coiintryt" Beware of Ointments for Catarrh That Contain Mercury an mercury will surely dmtioy the sense ol smell and completely deraiiKe the whole system whtn entering it through the mucous surfaces.

A petitiou sigued by several hundred citizeus, many of them promiueut and influential, was presented to Judge Allen asking that no puu ishuieut be iu Hie ted. But Judge Allen stood bis ground, pithily re marking aneut the petition that there was a good deal of difference between signing a petitiou asking some other person to do something and doing that thing yourself.

A uews pajsT wants lingers forced to tell what he knows, but people who know the uutu say that he is a hard proposition; iu other words, that he is not oue of the telling kind. It is contended that, ol course, he dtx-s know who induced him to want to see certain jurors aud that he did not do this out of friendship for Kilgo, who did uot even know him, so the latter swore; hut on the other hand the friends of Bogers, who have known linu as a soldier ami a citizen, say be does uot mind punishment, but was never kuowu to betray anyliody. They admire this trait very murh indeed. Of course it is well understood uow that uo further efforts will be made secure a reduction of his wh ence of six months in jail, lie broke dowu wheu sentenced, but that was uot ou his own account, but on account of his family, which is so much esteemed here, Mr. liogers is a brother of the late Con gressman Sion II. lingers.

Of course there is no telling what will be done as to this matter.
