?f-f ' v ' 'r' in ! ii ii - j-wui "CLUB" WAS USED By Governor Glenn, Assert Railroads in Unison. . BACKDOWN IS EXPLAINED Hot Parting Shot is Taken at North Carolina State Authorities by Roads Affected in Now Noted Rate Case. , . . ! A parting shot at the North Carolina state authorities in the railroad controversy was fired through petitions which the Southern railway and the Atlantic Coast Line filed before Judge Pritchard at Asheville Monday, ask' * iniun Ah' r\n t>4-v 211^ LQHw HIS ILLltJi UlV/l J* iujuuvuvu be modified in accordance with the "'peace' agreement reached Saturday ? at Raleigh between Glenn and the railjig roads. Both roads filed petitions verv sim ilar in tenor which explained a confer4 v ence held in Asheville Monday morning between attorneys representing the two roads. The petition of the Southern railway recites the entire history of the railroad cases and includes a protest against what the roads regard as their ill treatment, this protest and p' recital of facts being designed for perusal of the supreme court of the ff~.. United States as well as for the public. The railroads declare, in effect, that they were ^clubbed into becoming a party to the agreement effected at -Raleigh; that the public mind has been inflamed by the newspapers and the nf r?nii ician3 and the agree-" * . un?C4 t*i*wo uk 7 ment was only assented to under dug|^> ress, because of threats of an extra B session of the legislature for the purpose of adopting legislation hostile to the railroads. The Southern Railway company, says the petition was confronted with i ' a question as to whether Its 'proper f>3 sense of duty to the peace and good order of the state, a proper considera, s tion of its obligations to perform its duties as a common carrier in state and interstate business, and the sub| jecting of its employees to arrest ?nd imprisonment would justify it in longP er claiming its constitutional right to , the protecton of the interlocutory order permitting ii to continue until the hearing of its txisting rate of passenger charges, or whether it was not best . _ to cease the unequal conflict with the .... united powers of the state. The Southern railway does not lose , sight, continues the petiticn, cf the momentous ijature cf the claim assertcd by the state. If the claim cf the state can be sustained, it is pointed out, it means that through the agency & ?? its criminal laws a man can take the use of property (which is property) I "without compensation, for the time pending the enactment of a sta:ute byits general assembly, and the final determination of its constitutionality. If this claim of the state be upheld, the petition maintains, a state could fix the rate at 1 cent and if the corporation was compelled to observe this low rate, notwithstanding the fourteenth amendment forbids it, the state has "the power to take, during the period mentioned, the property of a company without compensation. With reference to the "coercion and intimidation" employed to drive the railroads by courts, as to the extent mentioned, the petition calls attention fto the activity of Governor Glenn against the road. In fact, the petition says, the government directed the coercive measures. - Th? rsanest to make changes indicat - - * s~e& in the petition was granted by , Judge Priichard.

I. UNDER HEAVY BAIL | " i Moyer, President of Western Feder? ! tion, is Given Freedom?Edhoes of Haywood Verdict. Judge Wood, ia the district court j at Boise, Monday afternoon, ordered i Charles H. Moyer, president of the j Federation of Miners, admitted to bail j in the sum of $25,000. The* trial of tieorge a. reiuuuut-, one- of the alleged conspirators, was set for Tuesday, October 1. No application for bond was made in biihaii of Pettibone, the conference of counsel having been fruitless in this respect. Haywood expects to leave for Denver at once. Moyer will leave when bail proceedings are arranged. | a \Tew York dispatch says: Presi- ( dent Roosevelt, not William D. Hay- I wood, is now the "undesirable citl- I zen," said Alexander Jones, socialist leader and editor of the Volks Zeitung, when asked how he regarded the result of the trial in Idaho. His reply was perhaps the most pronounced of many opinions by local specialists and organized labor leaders. Mo- j ses Oppenheimer, the organizer of the j Moyer-Haywood conference, in speak-) ing at the meeting of the Central La- ! bor Union, in which socialist and nonsocialist unions are represented, said: "I have been a great many years in the labor movement and in all my memory this is the first time the working class has exerted Itself in the same way it has done for these men," mean-1 ing Mover, Haywood and Pettibone. Efforts will be made to persuade Haywood to visit New York to attend a socialist parade and mass meeting in his honor to be held in Madison SquareGarden. It is said that 50,000 persons will be in the parade. The New York socialists claim to have been the first to come to the financial assistance of Haywood, Mover and Pettibone. They contributed $25,000 of the fund of $100,000 raised for the defense, ! William Jennings Bryan is quoted j on the verdict at Boise, Idaho, as follows: "I am gla/d to learn of the verdict and that it was not guilty. I watched the trial and did not see how any one could be found guilty on Orchard's testimony. Every crime he charged was one he himself suggested, and it was shown he was in communication with | the mine owners and attempting to innnorr.gra in Prime duce tne aeieuuaui iv "The manner irr which the prisoners were taken from Colorado was hardly in keeping with a fair trial." Without comment President Roose! velt made public the following telej gram received by him Monday, referI ring to the verdict in the Haywood 1 murder trial at Boise, Idaho: "New York,.

Birnberg is a Hebrew and made the point that he observed Saturday as the Sabbath and that he had therefore not violated the law.

HAYWOOD IS FREE lury Returns Verdict of "Not Guilty" in Noted Case, RESULT WAS A SURPRISE Eight Jurors Were for Haywood from the First and Other Four Were Finally Won Over ? Orchard's Story Unavailing. In the bright sunlight of a beau ;iful Sabbath morning, William D. I Haywood, secretary and treasurer of :he Western Federation of Miners, walked from the court room at Boise, [daho, a free man, acquitted of the murder of former Governor Steunenberg. Probability of acquittal was freely predicted after Judge Fremont Wood read his charge Saturday, which was regarded as favorable to the defense in its interpretation of the laws or conspiracy, circumstantial evidence and the corroboration of a confessed accomplice. It was also freely predicted that, in ! the event of Haywood's acquittal, the j state would abandon the prosecution of his associates, Charles H. Moyer, president of the federation, and Geo. A. Pettlbone of Denver. Statements | from counsel and from Governor I Gooding, issued Sunday, dispel this view of the situation. Governor Good! ing said: "The verdict is a great surprise to j me, and I believe to all citizens of I Idaho, who have heard or read the evidence in the case. I have done my duty. I have no regret as to any action I have taken, and my conscience j is clear. As long as God gives me ! strength, I shall continue my efforts for government by law and for organized society. . "The state will continue a vigorous prosecution of Moyer and Pettibone and Adams and of Simpkins when apprehended. There wil be neither | hesitation nor retreat." Application will be made to juage Wood to admit Mover and Pettibone to 'bail. No: the least interesting of the comments made on the outcome was that of Harry Orchard, the confessed murderer of Steunenberg, and the witness on whom the state chiefly relied to prove its charge of a conspiracy among certain members of the Western Federation of Miners. When told at the state penitentiary that Haywood had been acquitted Orchard said : "Well, I have done my duly. I have told the truth. I could do no mere. I ? toL-a am- nimishment am rrauv w luu^ v...,. that may be meted out to me for my crime, and the sooner it comes the better." It was after being out for twentyone hours that the Jury, which at first had been divided 8 to 4 for acquittal, and then seemed deadlocked, at 10 to 2, finally came to an agreement. " Events moved rapidly enough after this, and when at last the principal actors in the trial had been gathered into the court room, at a few moments before 8 o'clock, Sunday morning, the envelope handed by the foreman to the judge was torn open and the verdict read. It came as an electric thrill to the prisoner, to his counsel, to the attorneys for the state and the small group of newspaper reporters and court officers, who had been summoned from beds, but lately sought, cr from offices where sleepless waiting had marked the night. Tears welled to the eyes of the man, who, during the SO days of his mat, had sat with stolid indifference written on his every feature. At last, the j icy armor that he had thrown about I himself with the first of jury selection had been pierced. Haywood's attorneys were fairly lifted from their seats, and Judge Wood made no effort to restrain them, as j they surrounded him to shake his j hands and shout aloud their congratulations. | Senator Borah, who made the closj ing plea for conviction, was not presl ent. Of the prisoner's counsel, those In the court room were: Clarence Darrow of Chicago, E. F. Richardson of Denver and John F. Nugent of Boise. No member of the prisoners' family, nor any of his friends among the socialist writers and the "labor jury" was In the court room when the verI diet was read. HOLOCAUST ON STEAMER. I J Vessel Burns and Nine Women and chiMren Lose Life. I The steamboat Frontenac was burnI ed and beached oppcsi:e Farley's Point at Lake Cayuga, X. Y., Saturday, and nine lives were lest. The victims lost were all women and children passengers, and all were drowned. Several other passengers were severely burned. 1 t ,.. What the Hog Xeeds. ; Do not keep hogs in a little, confined place where they will get no exercise. The hog does want soil, but not filth, and they need a I bedroom, a place to exercise and I Plenty of sunlight. If they have sun light, exercise and good treatment there is every reason to believe that they will make a profit for their owner.?Weekly Witness. A Poultry Pointer. The principal breeds to be considered as strictly market and broiler birds are the Brahms,' Cochin and Lang3hans, as they attain the greatest size either as broilers or as matured fowls, but there is no half way ground, if not slaughtered at broiler age, nine or ten weeks, they willvnot be again fit for the block until nearly matured, as from broiler age to j near maturity they grow a large frame without putting on much of any meat or fat. In fact, while growing it is almost impossible to foft-cm thom ?Wpeklv Witness. A Ration For Sitters. Feed the sitting hens once a day, compelling them to leave their nests so as to dust their bodies and make preparation for another day's stay. It is not necessary that sitting hens be given as much as they can consume, as their inactivity does not conduce to a great demand for food; but a ration consisting of one part ground meat, one part cornmeal and three parts cracked corn should supply their wants until the chicks are hatched, when the hens should then be given a variety.?Farmers' Home Journal. Bran Beneficial to Fowls. A mess of bran is always beneficial to fowls. Bran contains more phosphates and mineral matter than ground grain, and also assists in regulating the bowels. This is true especially when a quantity of linseed meal is given with it, but in the warm season a mess three times a week is sufficient. It may be fed by scalding it and feeding it in a trough, or by sprinkling it dry on a clean board or over cooked potatoes an<? turnips. No other grain should be given if bran is allowed during the summer season, especially if the fowls have a large range. In fact, no grain is necessary at all during a warm season, but should such food be given, let it be dry bran.?Far* mers' Home Journal. . ' . Forelgn Wool For America. Word comes from Australia that at the closing wool trade for the season in that country, active buying was noticed for all grades of wool for this country. The Australian production during the season has been the largest on record, and all round prices have ruled high, says the London Live Stock Journal. During the past ten years the sales in Australia, apart from the wool eiported for sale in England and the continent, have increased from 775,000 to 1.2SS.000 bales. Apart from the wool sold in New Zealand, which amounted to 153,000 bales, the Australian sales reached a total of 1,441,625 bales, an increase of 157,000 bales as compared with last year. This is one indication of the demand for the new clip in this country when ready for the market. Top Grafting. Scions for top grafting should be cut at once, if not already done, and kept from drying. select tne large sticks of last' year's growth, having prominent buds. The host part tc use is the centre of the scion; the tips may be too pithy and the bottom end deficient in good buds. Cherries must be grafted early?long before the sap flows in March; plums soon after. The best time to graft apples and pears is just as the sap starts, but this may be done before and is successful until the leaf buds begin to open, if the sun is not hot enough to cause the wa: to run and open the cuts to the air. Thrifty branches from one to two inches in diametei are the most satisfactory to top graft Two scions should be set into each stub, and where the scion is noi pinched in tight the stock must be lashed with cotton string or raffia In grafting a tree of bearing size, noi over one-half of the top should be cui away the first year, but all'the top ol a young tree may be removed. A1 cut surfaces, including the upper enc of the scion and the cracks in the stock, must be covered with wax tc prevent exposture to air and drying A good wax is made of one pound o: rendered tallow, two pounds of bees wax and four pounds of resin meltec together, and while hot poured int< cold water and then pulled, as cand: is pulled, until smooth and free fron grain. The hands should be greasec with tallow to prevent sticking.? Country Gentleman. Turnips Killed "Witch Grass. One of the worst pests, if you d< not know how to get rid of it, but onof the easiest to get rid of if yo; know how. I had a piece of om acre that caused me a good deal o ". .. !<. . ' . V- . . . . , v - ^ v". .-'i | trouble and expense. I had heard j that raising a crop of turnips would I kill it out. I hardly believed it, but thought I would try a small pan of it. So in one corner where the grass was the thickest I sowed in drills of Sweet German turnips. The result was that the next year, although the other parts of the field were full of it, on that spot it was killed out. I took more of the field for turnips the next year and kept adding until I cleared the field of it. Now, was not that a better way than your correspondent suggested of digging it out by the roots at great cost? I have had the same results with cabbage. If the land is a sandy soil put in turnip, if clayey put in cabbage. The beauty of this plan is that we have no extra work to kill it out. Simply hoe the turnip and cabbage properly and you get rid of the grass. My theory is that hoeing these crops the last time in August, if it is properly done, cuts off the grass at a time when it kills it. At any rate, I know that if farmers will do as I have done they will get rid of it at no extra cost. The acre that I speak of is now the easiest to work of any on the farm. Of course we have some of it left oil the headlands, and we have to watch or the plow will take some of it into the field. I think if farmers will try my plan they will thank me for this advice.?H.

If I fo^nd I had that kind of a horse on my hands I always sold him.

My father gave me a rebuke once which I have never forgotten. He noticed me standing talking to a lady with my hat on and hands in my pockets.

If you can possibly afford it, keep one horse for your wife's use, and let nobody else ride or drive it. Snlphate of Iron For Moss. Many persons are perplexed by the appearance of moss in their lawns.; Usually this appears when the lawn; gets very little sun. Moss also forms when the soil is sour and badly: drained, and then when this has been done, apply heavy dressings of soot or lime?both quite fresh. Do this 1 in showery weather, so that they will soon be "washed in. The lime-and 1 soot should kill the moss, which1 > should be raked off with an iron ' rake. Spread some fine soil over all, 1 and then sow some fine grass seed, protecting from birds, if need be. ! You might also try the following ! remedy, which has been found very 1 efficacious in the destruction of moss: 1 Get some sulphate of iron and mix it > in the proportion of one pound of ! sulphate to two gallons of water. 1 The solution should be made in a 1 wooden sack, putting the plain water into the cask fifst, and then adding 5 the solution. Then get a rosed waarirl armlv the mixture tO | IJ\J I, ? ff-rf i to the lawn over a space of fifteen L | square yards. It should be applied j as soon as made, as it loses strength ' I by keeping. It should also be made ; with soft or rain water, avoiding, if t j you can, water in which there is lime, t j The sulphate is known to be acting f j when the moss turns black, after 1 which it withers away and crumbles I into powder. If it has been too weak, ; the moss will only turn red, and an> other application is necessary. As moss generally indicates poorness f i of soil, it will be requisite after the ; moss is destroyed to apply a top I i dressing of loamy soil, manure and 1\ wood-ashes.?Indianapolis News.
