Hcrguiun vs the \\'o- busli railway company was called. The plaintiff was an employe of the road and lost both legs whllo engaged in clearing away n wreck nt Stun berry , Mo. Ho sued for heavy damages , alleging that the accident was duo to carelessness on the part of the company. It was tried In the federal court n year ago and the Jury returned a verdict In favor of the defendant. The verdict was sot nsldo ana a now trial granted. The plaintiff was not reiJy for trial yesterday , and moved for continuance. The court Intimated that ho would graft It , but stated thatn decision would not bo rendered until this uftcrnoou , Ho adviied soUllngxtbo cnsu if possible. The matter created souio talk between the attorneys , and the plaintiff's counsel said that they had tried to icttlo the cu o and bad offered to tnKo $ . " ,000. The attorneys for the dcfenfto objected to the amount nnd said they had offered $ . ' 1,600. The court then stated that Inasmuch ns the plaintiff desired the court to make n settlement , and us the de fendant's property wni In the hands of the court , Inasmuch as Thomas McKissoclc was the receiver and ail ofllcer of the court , he would follow the example of Justice Miller In Arkansas , nnd take tha bull by the horns. The court then ruled that "tho Judpinent will bo the Issuance of nn order to the re ceiver , nn oftlccr of this court , to pay plain tiff M.2.JO. The question of costs will bo settled later. "It may turn out , however , " continued the court , "as did the caio to which I have re- forrcd , where tlio bull crowded the Justice over the precipice , ua they took the cauo up and had linn reversed. " "That can hardly bo in thlicase , " declared Judge Hubbard , "ns your honor seems to huVu cut oft nil tbo horns , us the amount is lUed nt less tnnn J.'i.OUO . , nnd wo have no chance to appeal. " * The attorneys for the plaintiff said they were willing to have the amount raised to $5,000 , but the court stated that ho did not propose to give the defense a chance to ap peal , nnd the case , which bid fair to consume a week's time , was settled , Thocasoof Frazier vs Kelley was then called. The plaintiff seeks to collect on a promissory uoto. The defendant moved to dismiss on the ground that the court had no Jurisdiction. The motion was sustained under the lows of March , Ibi * , that provide that where the maker and payee of iv note both reside In the state thu federal court has no Jurisdiction. Inasmuch ns the payee was n Council Hluffs bank , the maker n resident of Mills county , tbo fuct that the note had been transfcrod to Truyier. who resides In South Omalm , was net sufficient to bring the case within the Jurisdiction of the federal court , and It was accordingly dismissed , The crand Jury made Its first report and returned four indictments. Hut , ono parjy was under arrest Hugh McHratney of Manning , charged with selling liquor with out u license. Ho pleaded pullty , nnd was lined $100 and costs and sentenced to thirty days ia the county Jail. The case of S. ii. Wadsworth , administra tor , vs. the Chicago , Milwaukee & St. Paul railway company , was dismissed without prejudice on motion of the plumtllf. This is the case in which it was sought to recover several thousand dollars damages for the do-itli of the Italian , Angola Gigliotti , in the Milwaukee wreck of this city a few months "go. "go.The case of William Johnsonguardian , vs. J , H. Henry was on trml before Judge Shims and will not bo completed before the last of the week. The defendant is accused of Il legally securing property from the plaintiff's ward , Oscar Noff , who was not in n mental condition to warrant turn in doing business , and it is sought to compel Henry to Uisgorga it. Henry formerly resided at Walnut but now lives in California mid baa been on here thrco times to try the case but this is HA llrst hearing. It Is thought that nil of the business of the term will bo concluded this week and that a llnal adjournment will betaken on Saturday. If it is found necessary to continue next week Judge Love will bo compelled to go it nlouc.as Judge Shims has to leave Saturday night. Notice of Dissolution.

Some days ago the evening delivery of mall was stopped on account of the fact that it necessitated the carriers working rnoro than eight hours per day. The inconveni ence of the change was sorely felt by the merchants and business men of tbo city who have been accustomed to receiving their evening mail nt their oftlces , nnd steps were nl once taken to secure the reinstatement of the delivery. Resolutions wore passed by the real estate exchnngo and n petition was circulated for signers , nnd both these docu ments wore forwarded to the dennrtmontjat Washington. Postmaster Troynor nlso wrote to Washington in regard to the mat ter , asking if an increase of the number of carriers sufllciont to make the delivery possible - siblo could not be made. In reply ho re ceived a communication from the superin tendent of the free delivery system at Washington , J. F. Hates , who says the mntter will be referred to nn inspector who will shortly be sent hero to oxnmino into the needs of the free delivery service in this city. No action will therefore be taken in the mntter tilt the report is mndo. Inns- much ns it Is strictly prohibited to worlc enrners more than eight hours u day and as there uro not now enough carriers lo do thu work with the now mails that hnvo been added , it is evident , that there must bo more carriers or unsatisfactory delivery. A re quest has boon sent in for live now men. When it is known that soventy-two mails per day , in nnd out , nro hnndied here , it will be been thnt there is n vust amount of work to bo done.

The 1'oor Girl Thought Slio JWns to StiiK for the I'rlnce. The cnse of Eliza Anne Fitzhugh. n toucher of music , and her mother , who were charged , before Police .lustico-IIa- clcn Corsoy , in this place , with obtain ing property under falsa pretenses , is of unusiUU interest , writes a Dalston , Eng land , correspondent of the -Now York Sun , because it is a very Sad case , and because it pictures a curious phase of English society. Miss Fitzhugh was a young woman of good repute , who had a line and well trained voice , and in 1SS8 was malting enough money to support herself and her filth or antt mother , the father being nn invalid. In October , 1SS3 , Mr. Hayward - ward , the manager of Prof. Baldwin , who was at that time jumping from a balloon when at a great height , came to Miss FiUhugh and asked her to under take the task of getting the Prince of Wales to'attend one of Baldwin's oxhi- bitiojris. lie promised her 10 if she succeeded. Accordingly Miss Fit/.hugli got an ap pointment to moot Sir Francis Knollys at Mat'lborough house , and there suc ceeded so well that the prince , princess and their three daughters attcndcdthe show at Alexandra palace. Miss Fitz- hngh had the honor of singing heforo the princely family when they were there also , but she never got the 10 promised to her nor any other sum. She had been at considerable _ expense for dress and otherwise in this matter , and so got-into dobt. it was then her troubles began. She tried to got an ap pointment as vocalist in the family of the prince , and those who promised to help her to the post told her she was sure to succeed , and even sent her let ters of conj/nitulation on the certainty of her appointment , Holying on this Miss Fitzhugh neglected to try for other pupils , and while waiting for the ap pointment got deeper in debt. Along in December , 18S9 , her father died. To provide for the funeral she went to an undertaker and told him she had" boon appointed to the post of vo- calist'in the family of the prince , and he thereupon trusted her for the price of a decent funeral. The bill was sent to Marlborough house. It happened that a Miss Fitzhugh was employed there in another capacity , and she got the hill. Her father wasn't dead and she didn't owe any undertaker for bury ing him. So she made a fuss about it. Miss Li/.zic Fitzhugh. on being naked to explain , at once told the whole story truthfully. The undertaker , Mr. John Gray , of Seven Sisters' road , offered to forgive her the debt , hut the prince's household would not allow that. Meantime Mrs. Fitzhugh , the mother of the teacher , believing that the ap pointment had been already made , had obtained credit olsowncro for food by telling that her daughter was employed by the prince. The prosecutor who represented tbo prince hunted up these cases and mother and daughter were arrested. At the trial the girl told the whole story. She told the magistrate that hor'mothor was perfectly innocent of the fraud and the whole blame rested upon her. The magistrate might do as lie pleased with her , but if ho would-be so kind as not to send her mother again to lie on the plank bed , which would kill her , she would bo thankful. The younger prisoner further told the mag istrate thnt for the past four years she had struggled to keep her sick father and mother. Her father was now dead and her mother very ill. She had known great privations and had seen her father and mother with scarcely any food to eat. The magistrate hold the prisoners lor trial , but released the mother on her own recognizance. The presence qf K. II. Sothorn in the Twin Cities reminds the Pioneer Press of a story a gentleman named Trow- bridge used to tell about the baptism of ' Lord Chumloy. " Trowbridge , when young Sothorn was a baby , lived oppo site E. A , Sothorn's residence in Now York city. Ono sunny mlmmor morn ing ho saw the older Hothorn rush out of the house und to an Kpiscopal church nearby. Ho was gone a few minutes , hurried back and into his house , again roapporod and again ran to the churcli. nil ma movements the very opposite of what ono would o.xpoct of the dawdling Lord Dundreary. Trowbridgo became interested , and the bettor to f > oe nnd hoar , throw open his window. Finally Sothorn , with impatience written on every line of his face , bolted from the church to his door which was open , and from the entry , uaw od the following startling announcement , evidently in tended for his wife's behoof : "Sou hero. For heaven's sake hurry up that child.

It is now generally believed that the Eoil of the Missouri valley is particular ly well adapted to the growing of boots for sugar. The numerous sugar tests , largo and smnll that have been made with beets grown in Nebraska are al most conclusive evidence of this. But the growing of beets for susrar and the liundlin ; : of them BO that sugar can be secured from them is a work requiring Knowledge and skill nt every stop. Jlavir.g n suitable soil for growing beets rich in sugar it is necessary to plant a strain of seeds in which the su gar quality lias been developed. The beet sugar industry has had a great re vival in France since Prof. Villo of the experiment station has developed n strain of beets , a method of selecting setd beets and of fertilizing by winch the percentage of btjets has boon dou bled in tjholast fifteen years. The grow ing of seed for sugar bents is not developed hero and no seed should bo planted except imported French grown seed of ap proved selection till we get a domestic supply * of seed that has been grown in the best way. The time and method of planting the seed nnd quantity of ? ced per acre tire the same that are required in growing beets for stock food. It is recommended by some writers that the beets bo planted in drills eighteen inches apart. Such writers got their experience in cultivation out of books printed in Ger many where the only tools are the spade and hoc. Americans must grow beets , if they grow them nt all , with horse power cultivation. The rows , therefore , must bo planted far enough apart to admit a horse cultivator. This will necessitate planting thirty inches or more apart. No attempt should bo made to "cultivate with the rows closer than two feet. 1 ho soil must bo plowed deep and prepared for the seed in the most perfect manner. For , un less this is done , the early cultivation cannot bo such ' 'as will eradicate the weeds , and weeds and sugar in beets don't grow together. There is ono point in cultivating beets for sugar that is all important ; that is the beetroot must bo irrown under ground. If the soil is raked away from the top of the beet the action of the sun causes "reversion" oN the sugar to take place and the beet is ruined for sugar making. The beet row can bo hilled up successfully with almost any of the cultivators now in use , but should bo gone over with the hoc and trimmed up where the cultiva tor has done imperfect worlc. Harvesting of the bccts should bo be gun early in Soptemhor , and the beets should , 'If possible ; bo drawn to the factory as fast as dug. There is a horse machine made for harvesting beets , but they ami bo qulnlcly Jvipr by ( roinfy once on each side of the row with a common plow and throwing the furrow Irom the row. tncn spading the roots out with a common potato spado. In harvesting beets care must bo taken not to leave them long exposed to the hot sun or to pile them up in largo piles whore they will be cxuosed to changes of temperature. Either condition will cause sugar "reversion" to take place and render the beet valueless for sugar. If they must bo stored they should be pitted in lots not exceeding a ton. Any treatment which causes a quantity of beets to hent. be it ever so little , causes "reversion. " In Germany , where beet production bus prospered very well , and whore cultivation is carried to the highest perfection , the avorairo product of sugar boots is a little over thirteen tons per acre. Fora number of years it re quired cloven pounds of boots to make one pound of sugar , but improved seed has changed the proportion till now eight and'onehalf pounds of boots make one pound of sugar. The Gorman sugar factories liavo u capacity of only about 24,000 tons ctch : , during the season ; and so each fnistory can handle the product of loss than two thousand acres. In Cnlitornia several crops of sugar beets have yielded nn average of twenty-one tons per acre and were grown at tin esti mated cost ot $61 per aero. It is .tho custom of sugar beet fac tories to buy the beets at so much per ton , with the grower to guarantee the beets to yield a certain per cent of sugar. If "reversion" takes place , or by any other accident the beets do not come up to the standard , the farmer suffers the loss. It is this phase of sjgar beet growing which makes it im perative that the farmer handle his boot crop throughout the season with skill and intelligence , keeping the ono idea of sugar production always in view. Clover In Cotton was acknowledged King of all the agricultural productions up to about the year 1800. During the war the prices of wool ruled so high that wool was admitted to bo king of farm pro ducts. From the year 1S70 to 18SO wheat was crowned king and thousands of acres of rich prliirio soils were bro ken up and sown , to wheat. From 1880 to 1890 corn scomod to ho the most prot- Jtnblo farm crop to rniso and was crowned Icing by the western farmers. The , rich soils of , the western prairies produced largo mid prolitablo crops with but little expense for cultivation and placing on the market , but the price of corn now rules so low with so many other things working against its proilt- able production that it must soon yield up its crown. The time will soon come when the crown will have to lie placed on the bond of clover , says the Now Knglnnd Farmer. It is easily raided , the seed costs but little ; it costs but little to pre pare the ground for its reception. There is as much certainty of securing a good stand as with any other crop if sown early enough in the season. It makes' the finest and best pasturage if not turned on to too young ; it makes the best and most nutritious hav for all kind of farm stock. Possibly horses may bo excepted by some horsemen ; but it is doubtful if a healthy horse wns well-cured clover over Injured by eating ver hay. Clover enriches the soli , and every Hold raising u crop of clover is continually increasing in fertility. Its long tap roots run down deep into tno soil and bring to the surface molbturo and mineral fertilizers ; while- its broadleaves loaves absorb moisture , free nitrogen and other fortili/.lng gases that are freely distributed throughout the at- mosphi.ro from docajing vegetation und other matters , uceomjm& > t ll double bo no IK by Increasing its own growth and purifying the atmosphere. Swoct Or en in Mutter. At this time the question is raised in regard to churning sweet cream. 1 will state that last January I tried six ex periments. Three with ripened cronn ) nnd throe with eronm perfectly sweet. Weighed the milk carefully thnt was sot for churning oij onch trial , and the re sult wns that In every case I got as much butter from the sweet cronm ns I did from the ripened cronm , says a writer in Hoard's Dairyman. In each trial I put into the cream before churning a naif pound of Liverpool salt to the amount of cream that would make twoivo pounds of butter. The salt has a chemical olTcot upon the cronm thnt causes it to liberate the butter as per fectly ns nny process of churning will. Cream that Is sweet nnd salted in the manner above will churn ns easily ns when acidilled. To got the host result from the churn the buttermilk should not bo above 00s Fahrenheit when the churning is done. Will the swcot cream butter keep ? Yes , it will keep long enough in winter time to bo nil entcn up in this market , nnd command the highest mar ket price. Then why go to the trouble of souring cream if one can got as much butter and can sell till ho can make at the highest market price by churning sweet cream ? I have a dairy of sixty cowsmako but ter six months and cheese Six months. Never sold butter for less than 25 cents per pound. I have boon at the business for twenty years. If I make any change it will bo to get an extractor. Cross-Itrci ! Poultry for the Murker. The most successful market poultry is that which is obtained by proper crossing. And wnat branch of the bus iness pays so well ns that which sup- lilies the table of the rich nnd the poor ? There is profit in breeding fancy fowls after a reputation has boon achieved , but that costs money an'd time. Market poultry needs no reputation. All it re- quire's is good common sense , and enough experience to run the business , says a writer in the American Agricul turist. The average farmer lias these. The writer has been severely criti cised by seine fancy breeders for his stand on crosses , but , us his aim is to benefit the market , ho feels justified in his position. Besides , there is plenty of room for both fancy and market poul try. Wo need the fancier , by all means. Wo cannot produce crosses without purc-breds. There are two great points desired in the breeding of poultry an increased production of eggs , and improvement for the table. These are the legiti mate grounds which justify cross-breed ing. In crosses wo combine quality with size , as for example , lloutian on Cochin or Brahma , or Cochin on pork- ing. This latter cross is after the En glish fashion. They take a good ttyp- yoar-old Cochin coclc and mate with six good Dorking hens of a year old. Tlic pullets of the cross are next season mated with game , and * their produce is then marketed. Thus they gain sixe from the Cochin , and quality from the Dorking. By the game cross very little in size is sacrificed , while another first- rate cross in point of quality , is added. An Knglishman , referring to this cross , once said : ' 'The llesh is white ns snow , nnd as savory as any aldcrmnnic gour mand could desire. " It must bo under stood , however , that nothing is pained by mating the progeny. Cross-bred birds should never bo muted , together. When mo make the cross wo have the ideal of our experiment ; beyond that there is a downward tendency. Wo do not believe any great success Can be obtained in mntltifr for inoroiisod egg production. That is , no cross can bo secured that will give a higher egg record than that which some of our noted strains now have. It is principally - ' pally for an improvement of table qual ity that wo recommend inter-breeding. Cnrc of Ilrood Sows. Those who are to have early litters of spring pigs must give the brood sows proper foot and treatment during the winter months. The lirsl requisite is good shelter and a clean , wholesome sleeping place. The next is a reason able amount of liberty. It will not dote to keep a brood sow shut up continu ously in a small pen , oven if it is kept reasonably clean. She will become sluggish and inert , with none of the vigor nnd muscular stamina needed to produce and rear healthy pigs. A cer tain amount of exercise every day is " necessaty , says the American" Agricul turist , 'if she will not take her dally "constitutional" of her own accord , it is best to drive her out. Nothing is bettor during mild , open weather than the run of a lot whore she may root to her heart's content. Never put a ring in tno nose ot a uroou sow. The food should be abundant , but not of n fattening character. Millc. bran , and middlings , with a small modicum of oil-meal , varied frequently by boiled turnips , carrots , beets , or other roots , clover-hay chopped short and mixed ' with tho' cooked ration , and in cold weather a small pro par * ion of corn meal , will keep the animal in good , thrifty condition. It is well to remember that swine are omnivorous ; and an occasional morsel of animal food is' always acceptable. The "lights , " entrails and other waste material of a slaughter house , when attainable , are desirable additions to the animal's dietary. It is well to keep a mixture ol salt , charcoal , and a liulo sulphur in a trough where the sow can help herself ad libitum. It is alwayrt host to keep brood sows sep arate fi'om the rest of the herd. This in specially imperative us the timiffor fat rowing approaches. THE ROMANCE" IDAHO. How the Stnto Wns Named for I'rotiy Mull ) Indian Ulri. In the autumn of 18(15 ( I resided in Twenty-second street , \ow Vorlc , says Dr. Kdward P. Uochu In the Boston Journal. A genial-fellow boarder wns ngontlomnn of forty-live years of ago , who was putting some mining stock on the market. His nnino was Cole , and ho claimed the distinction of having for initials throe Cs C. C.

In account of how the name cnmo to be adopted also the selected meaning , or rather the meaning which ho and others concluded to give as the Indian word's translation. One bright morn ing about 10 o'clock , in company with another gentleman interested in the " government of the terri tory , while riding over some barren mountain tops. , or rather hills , the road became ho rough as to compel the slowest traveling. As they plodded on the nnmp of the nov : territory be came a topic of conversation. While talking1 over the various names that had been suggested tnoy came to the top of a small plateau on Iho further edge of which stood an Indian hovel or cabin. The utter lonlincss of the spot sug gested to the travelers thnt they had come upon the hiding place of some out law , of whom the country then boasted ii great number. Just before they reached , but while in plain view from the cabin , an Indian woman came oit and called out several times in a high- spirited , far-reaching voice the word Idaho. The tone was a combination of those of the Bivlss yodeler , the Spanish Indian and Louisiana nogross , and , as was .supposed , u call to tli squaw's hus band. The sound of the voice as given by Mr. , and ho had been familiar with the Indians for some years , was Kd-dah- hoo-oo-oo drop from the first K to the second , a long a , almost as if ah-ah , and n musicnl , long-drawn out dwelling upon the hoo. using tbe full force of tlic lungs in expiration and crescendo. The s-ciunw s call was answered by the sudden appearance of an Indian' girl about nine years of age. She was clean nnd better'looking than most ot hci race. The inference of both Mr. Cole nnd his companion was thnt Idaho was the girl's name , and the idea ol adopt ing it us tlm nnme of the now territory occurred to both men about the same time , Mr. Cole claiming to bo the lirst to speak. All cfiords to find the English of tbo word resulted in failure , and iinally , in consideration of the sex and surround ings of tbo Indian whose name had helped solve the difficulty in finding ono for territory , that of Gem of the Mountains was decided upon. The real meaning of the word Mr. Cole never knew. As the Indians name their children from physical peculiarities or circumstances occurring at their birtb , and as the child wns born about day light , the translation of Light on the Mountains was lirst deemed a good one , but its fitness as a name for the terri tory had to give way to the more appro priate one of ( ! cm of the Mountains , which wns given to congress as tlio translation of the Indian word. I narrate the tale as I got it from Mr. Cole , and add what , at the time f sug gested to him- that the territory erect a monument on the spot where the name was selected add as an amend ment that Jonquil ! Miller , tlio poet of the Sierras , write the inscription. Tim Only One- .
