Oa islonday evening Marshal Tomplotoii and
Deputy Fowler went through the house look-
InR for another party and saw and n.ues-
tionod the woman. She gave ovasiva

a former colored lever named Joshua Blgsley
on last Saturday night. The woman bears a
bad character and was known to the pollcoof
Kansas City by several aliases. Bomo time
ago she shot at a man there with the Inten
tion of Killing him , but her aim was bad nnd
and she missed him. She escaped to Leaven-
worth , whcrosho used her revolver on nn-
other in nn with bettor effect. Shu had been
living with nman rnraed Harris , but had
recently madotho acquaintance of Uhrsley ,
On the nlRht of the 20th Bigsley and the
woman wore together on the street when
they met tlio old lever Harris. The woman
abruptly loft her now love lor the old ami

stantly.
Harris assisted the woman to escape nnd
shecamodircict to this city , Harris was ar
rested , hut refused to toll the direction the
woman had taken. Not knowing that hovaa

Serious CbnrKCH Aitninstthc President
ofu Chicago Concern *
CHICAGO , Dec. 27. According to the
chnrr es mndo In court today the P. L. Stan-
ley-Winston company , n real estnto corpor
ation , hoc been wrecked by the speculation of
the president , P. M. Stanley. Bertram M.
Winston , treasurer applied for the appoint
ment of n receiver for the concern nnd that
the affairs of the corporation bo wound up.
Stanley Is charged with appropriating
$70COO. Judge Shcpard appointed C. M.
Wnlkor receiver.
Winston says ho discovered n few days ago
thnt Stanley find misapplied 570,000 nnd that
most of It had gone in wild nnd reckless
speculation on the Chicago stock exchange.
The wrecked corporation was organized Inst
fall , succeeding the old llrm of P. E. Stanley
& Co. Prior to the , organization of the new
company Stanley was bngagcd in confidential
business with certain customers , und a con
siderable portion of this private business was
never merged into the business of the
firm. Among the transactions which the
Winstons claim were put through by Stanley
in Ills individunl capacity , were deals with
L. H. McCormick and J. P. Koony , Involv
ing respectively f45UK ( ) nnd $ l'J5,000. After
Stanley became convinced of his liability to
criminal prosecution ho gave It out that the
corporation was liable to McCormick , Kcony
and others for money intrusted to nnd appro
priated by him.
The 'lustons , said McCormirk , threaten
to bring suit against the corporation , nnd ho
asked the court to cujoln him nnd others from
so doing. . *
The court took no action on this point
today , nnd McCormick tiled a suit against the
company for { 50,000 damages.
The assets , according to Winston , are sufll-
ctont to meet all obligations and the value of
the securities hold by banks exceed the
amount of Indebtedness hy $10,000.

Singular Discovery or Llttlo Folks
Who Dwell In a Cave.
Stanley and Du Chaillu have rivals ,
says a New York special to tlio San
Francisco Examiner. According to a
dispatch from Indianapolis , some boys
hnvo discovered a cave in Crawford
county , Ind. , and which is inhabited by
a race of humans averaging less than
three feet in height and about forty
pounds in weight.
Of course the boys were laughed nt
when they told their story. Then they
returned to the cave , and , after convinc
ing thomsolvss that they wero' not
dreaming , canio back ami excited the
curiosity of hundreds of citizens by reIterating -
Iterating their story. A largo expedi
tion hns been organized to visit the cavo.
The underground cave-dwellers ap
pear , according to descriptions by the
boys , to bo the lowest typo of humanity.
They run upon all fours when they tire
of the erect position. They exhibited
extreme fear of tbo intruders nnd clambered
bored with agility over heaps of slonos
in their frantic lllght.
Not u vosttgo of clothing covered
them , nnd the boys say they noticed no
signs of hirsuteness or other physical
marks of the low orders of the animal
kingdom. The form is not well devel
oped , and males are little If any superior
to the females. Their food can bo noth
ing except fish from the streams which
abound In the cave , for long before their
place of abode is reached every vestige"
disappears of the animals which haunt
the caves or seek refuge therein.
When the youthful explorers were ob
served a baby-like chatter arose , which ,
awakening the echoes of the cave , was
almost deafening. Efforts will bo made
to capture BO mo of these remarkable
people.
. Colonists Wiintetl In China.
China has room for all her children.
It is wrong to suppose that the whole
empire is suffering from a plethora of
population , writes President Martin of
the Royal college , China , in the Forum.
Certain districts are ovorcrowaod , par
ticularly on the southeastern seaboard ;
and from that quarter alone laborers
come to this country. Many of the
provinces are thinly peopled and call lor
colonlsta. Yunnan , with nn area of 107-
000 square miles , had a population of
barely 7,000,000 prior to the Moham
medan rebellion , though highly favored
by soil and climate. Since that devast
ating scourge , the figure must bo re
duced by half. The same is true of
Kwolchan , nnd of Sbensl and Konsub ,
the two provinces yf the northwest. On
the northeast , in what is called Manchu
ria , are two new provinces , each of them
nearly as largo ns the Hlato of
Now York , which , excepting n few mil
itary posts , present the spectacle of an
unbroken wilderness. The government
is now endeavoring to attract bottlers to
that region ns the best way to seouvo It
from falling into the hands of lUissiu ,
Tlio immense regions of Mongolia , are
Buro , for the same reason , to bo thrown
open to settlement ut no distant date.
At present they are In a condition ana
logous to that of our Indian reservations ,
only moro sparsely populated than any
of thotn.
The population of China two centuries
ago was less than iiUO,000,000. It id now
nearly twice as great , or to bo accurate ,
about 882,000,000. With the extension of
railways and tlio development of now
resources , it might onully double itself
without any danger of trending on the
heels of supply. The actual IIHTOIIHO Irt

MEASURES FOR ITS PREVENTION ,

nblc 1'otnto '
Crop I'lowlng
In the Tall.
In n bulletin Issued by Dr. Kennedy ,
secretary ol tlio Iowa state board of
health , is glvon tlio following valuable
preventive measures of hog cholera :
] . As soon UH tlio herd hns become In-
footed , the hi-nUby niiinmls should bo
inimcdliitoly removed from tlio siek so
far away thcro will bo no danger from
infection by contact , drainage of tbo
soil , water or gusts of wind. They should
bo given ample space , BO Unit if there
are diseased utilnmls among them it will
not spread so rapidly as when they are
crowded. The bodies of these removed
muy bo disinfected by pouring over them
a 2 per cent solution of carbolic ncld , or
two and oivj-hnlf ounces of ncid to ono
gallon of water , nnd also driving them
through tlio solution to disinfect their-
feet.
feet.U.
U. Destroy nil diseased animals. As
there is no reliable inoaiiH of treatment
or cure , destruction is the simplest and
most camoinioul in tbo end. A single
aisonscd animal will soon infect n herd.
I * Each dead body should bo buried bo
deep no ttulinal can got at It. It should
bo covered with a layer of slacked lime
several inches thick. If burned euro
should bo taken that parts not burned
tire burled as above. The sale and car
rying of such dead bodies to rendering
establishments is prohibited hy law , ana
is a moat prollllc means of spreading the
disease.
J. There should bo frequent and thor
ough disinfection of tlio promises , and
cleanliness mainlined. Slaked lime is a
good disinfectant for hog cholera , using
one pound of lime to a gallon of wator.
It may bo used as a whitewash on the
ieneos nnd pens , and spread over the soil
in a thin layer nnd thrown into pools ,
hog washes , or wherever the water stag
nates. A more elllcicnt disinfectant is
crude carbolic acid , costing about $1 per
trillion , and an equal quantity of sulphur
ic ncid. The two acids should bo care
fully mixed in a glass jar orbottlo nud
poured slowly into water In n wooden
pall , iri proportion of two ounces of the
acid mixture to ono gallon of wator.
This should bo used with a broom or
brush upon woodwork , fences , pens ,
floors , tools , etc. , und also dashed over
the soil. For shoes and bools.brush them
with a mixture of ono-fourth ounce of
carbolic acid and ono-half gallon of wa
ter. Palls after using should bo rinsed
with wntor to prevent the acid from de
stroying the iron hoops.
5. All manure from sick hogs should
bo disinfected before removal.
0. After a disinfection of promises , no
hogs should bo allowed thereon for at
least four months. Where a few ani
mals are left that have been exposed
no fresh nnimnls should bo added to
them for six months. If it Is necessary
to put fresh animals whore the disease
lias boon , ns in stockyards , etc. , then all
prior infected nnimnls should bo killed
and the promises previously disinfected ,
ns stated.
7. Sick hogs should not bo permitted
to stray into out-of-the-way places , un
der buildings and into fence corners or
under straw stacks , thus scattering the
disease , so ns to make infection impossi
ble. They should bo penned or inclosed
in a yard whore proper attention can bo
given them , and other hogs kept from
them.
8. Whore no disinfection Is hnd hogs
should not bo admitted on premises
where the disease has prevailed for ono
year. It is believed that the cholera
germs will lose their vitnlity entirely in
ono year.
9. All domestic animals , especially
shcop , that hnvo been In contact with
diseased hogs should bo enclosed away
from all other animals and closely
watched.
10. No person from a fnrm or premises
whore hog cholera does exist , or has ex
isted , should bo permitted to como on
premises whore the disease docs not ex
ist , unless previous disinfection is had of
his boots and clothing.
11. All birds , wild or tame , should bo'
excluded from Infected ' premibcs.
After till this 'trouble , there still re
mains the danger of a fresh Introduction
of tbo dibcnso. It is dilllcult for ono
farmer to protect himself when con
stantly menaced by his neighbors. Still ,
it is much easier to keep it away than to
eradicate it. It is bust , therefore , in
these regions whore the disease is al
ways moro or les present , to keep the
hogs in more limited space and enclo
sures of such form and slzo that dis
infection may bo had with less labor and
moro ( lelinlto results.
It is confidently believed if these
rules bo faithfully observed wherever
the disease exists , hog cholera can bo
permanently eradicated from the state.
Though winter freezing will not de
stroy thojjerms , there Is ( rood reason to
believe they will not survive moro than
a your in any soil. IHit it is carried and
distributed , throughout the year , from
places where cases have occurred , and
thus the virus Is kept alive. Hence the
necessity for qxtonsivo concerted action
among farmers.
Hog cholera germs have never been
found in soil or water independent of the
disease. Neither have they over been
found except in the body or discharges
of diseased hogs , mid from these the in
fection spreads.
lliillcy Food lor Poultry.
It Is only recently that clever hay has
been found to bo the cheapest and best
winter food for laying hens , and that by
Its use the great dllllculty of procuring
green lood Is overcome. Bays the West
ern Stockman and Cultivator. In fact ,
the essential want of the hens in winter
IB not BO much that of green food ns of
bulky food of a nitrogenous character.
For many years the writers and breeders
have mndo iv specialty of recommending
all kinds of grains for poultry , the only
variation holng that at certain times
some of it was to bo whole grains , and at
other times soft food was to he given. It
nlil not occur to thorn the effects of n
long-continued diet of grain was ns In
jurious to fowls ns to cuttle , nnd Hint the
concentrated grain food gnvo the best
results when diluted ( if wo may use the
expression ) with KIIIIO kind of bulky inii-
torlal , which not only promoted diges
tion , but also largely assisted In supply *
Ing the elements necessary the nlbtu
men of the eggs , which wns lucking lt
the carbonaceous ' food of the grains.
To prepare It'as food for lions , clover
hay should bo cut line with a feed cutter
nnd scolded. The scolding Is done by
pouring boiling water over it , in a tub ,
at night , throwing a covering on it and
allowing it to remain until morning. In
the morning , before feeding , add , for
every twenty hens , ono pound of TJround
grain mixture. This grain mixture may
bo prepared by mixing twcnty-llvo
pounds of ground corn and oats ( they are
usually ground together ) ton pounds of
bran , llvo pounds of middlings , two
pounds of linseed meal nnd four ounces
of salt , the whole to bo well mixed.
Heed Corn.
It seems out of season to discuss this
matter , but wo tire quite sure Almt "n
suggestion now will prove valuable to
whoever acts on it , says the Western
Stockman and Cultivator. Every
farmer who expects to grow corn next
year should save his seed now. The
quality of teed has so much to do with
the character of the crop that every
farmer understands the necessity ot
planting the best seed. But it is not as
well understood as it ought to bo that
this year good sued corn is very source ,
and the farmer who hns grain fit for
seed will make a great mistake if ho
fails to save it in the best condition.
in Iho states east of the Mississippi
river the fall 1ms been warm and wet , so
that the corn bus not matured enough t6
make good Boed unless it is carefully se
lected and lire dried before cold weather
comoi ; on. This is not practical on it
largo scale , nnd many careless farmers
will llnd themselves next spring without
good , vital seed , and wilt bo unnblo to
buy it of their moro provident neighbors
who have saved only onough-for them
selves. In the west "much of the corn Is
Imperfect. There Is such a general lack
of quality , that on whole farms U will
take careful selection to secure perfect
ears to make seed for next year's plant
ing , and moro than this , there are whole
sections where there Is no seed corn nt
all.
Enough seed corn can bo easily and
quickly saved at husking time by having
a box or other recontuelu at hand into
which choice cars can bo thrown when
unloading tbo wngous. It is the worlt
of but a few minutes to make n rough
selection at this time , and it saves time
and money in the future. Throe or foiif
times ns much corn should bo saved In
this way ns is needed , for after it it )
thoroughly cured a good deal of what Is
now chosen will bo rejected ; and moro
than that , n good quality of Bced corn
will bo a nice source of revenue next
spring by way of supplying these farm
ers * who do not read farm papers.
Points lii Favor of Clover.
The following is an extract from bulle
tin No. 10 of the lown agricultural ex
periment station , treating of rusl and
blight in wheat , oats and barley in 1890 !
Clever ( if it was sown In sullciont
quantities ) would not only cnuso our
soils to bo much moro moist than they
are now , but it would Increase their for *
tility , and its roots would Improve thci.'itit
mechanical condition. Glover should bd '
BowtMiot only for what it would do for ?
our climate and other crops , but bccnusa
there is moro money in it than In any
other crop which can bo grown success
fully in Iowa , except corn. Why not
make clover ono of our principal crops ,
instead of outs , which have failed oftener -
tenor than they have proved profitable )
on account of unfavorable climntio con
ditions. And who not substitute Man-
shury barley for oats ? It is compare
tivcly free from rust and bllirht in lown.
It is very productive , has good strong
straw , yields more dollars' worth ot di
gestible nutrients per acre in all kinds
of seasons than oats , and as n nurse crop ; y * |
for clover , it Is much better than oyl/Lafc---S
spring wheat. Although timothy ,
clover , oats , barley , corn and rye , ara
very common crops In Iowa , yet thera
are but few farmers who have tried to
determine the dilToronco between the ,
feeding values of an average ncro of oats
and an average aero aero of any of the
other crops which I have named. Allot
thorn are sulllciontly palatable when in
good condition ; but some of them ara
not well adnptod to our climate ; and
from equal areas of lnnd- seine of them
will produce much moro and much bet
tor food for the domestic animals than
others.
