with the avowed intention of seeking
trouble Thut ho has found till that ho cm
hnndlu Is u fuel that can not bo dlsputnd
Shortly after leaving homo ho attacked a
colored woman , the wlfo or the notorious
• • Tex , " Baker , and threatened to kill her
An oUlcer was sunt for und ho skipped for
Lake Mutiiiwn , where ho got into a dispute
with a teamster , nnd a pitched battle ensued
Kane was downed and wn3 receiving a severe -
vero pummcling whua another teamster
named Robert Phillips interfered una sepa
rated them , demanding ut the same time that
they ce.iso their lighting
ICano rose to his foot nnd Phillips tnrned
to go away As ho did so Kane reached his
hand into his hip pocket , deliberately pulled
out his knife and made for Phillips , plunging
thu weapon in to Ins victims back , nfter which
ho Jumped into his wagon and drove away
Phillips was picked up and removed to his
home , where DiBollinger rendered hlui
medical assistance Later Kane wus cup
lured by Deputy Marshal Whitn at the Institute -
tuto for the deaf aud dumb and jailed His

sault with Intent to inflict great bodily InJury -
Jury was continued , but ho will now uusvvor

Chlof or Poileo Lucas has ar-alu put his
foot in it , albeit that It was altogether unin
tentional , and now ho will bo made the de
fendant in a 91,000 damage suit Tlio plain
tiff is H. O. Mcado , who runs a pump and
windmill establishment at No 013 Broad
way Ho has engaged the services of Colonel
nel D. B. Dalloy and proposes to makeit
quito warm for the boBS of the club wielders
Mcado charges Lucas with insulting his
wire , and that lady tells u story thut very
strongly corroborates the charge Tno
whole uffuir grew out of the stealing of a
pump chain from John Booths well by
Johnny Murphy Aleado's story is that two
boys came to his place of business about ( i
o'clock Tuesday evening nnd wanted to neil
the chain , stating that their mother
wanted it pold , having no further
use for it in the cistern
They said tholr mothers name was Mrs ,
Curroll , and told a very straight story
Meade consulted the owner of a fruit stand
nenr by , who told him ho thought it was alt
right , and ho-ncconlingly bought the chain
for repair work Ho hung it up in the front
part of his store and thought no moro about
it Wednesday afternoon the chlcr of police
entered the place und seeing the chain de
manded to know of Mrs Mcado why she
bought , it He insisted that both she and
her husband know it was stolen and kno w
thnt It was young Murphy who sold it Yes
tcrday he called again and took tha chain ,
after ngnin insulting Mrs Mcado by un
warranted insinuations At the time of
both visits Meade was uway at work , but be
learned thut tbo' chain wus gene
yesterday noon and tolephouod tno
chief that ho wanted to see him
He drove to the station und accused Lucas
of Insulting his wife The chief donicd it ,
and Mcado then Invited him to got iuto bis
buggy and ho would soon confront him with
witnesses Lucas refused to go , aud Mcado
went away , soon returning with his wife , but
tno Intcrvlow that followed did not satisfy
Meadn , and no immediately sought an attorneys
torney's advice Said ho last evening : Just
because folks are poor is no reason why a
woman should bo insulted by the chief of po
ileo Ho wanted to show bis authority , but
it wasn't ' in tbo right place Ho even Insin
uated that it wasn't the first time my wife
had been cngagod In similar work When I
called at tha station and made known ray
business ho Bald : 'Oh , yes ; you uro the fel
low who came to mo and wanted to bo ap
pointed as detective so you could go around
und visit the houses of prostitution ' I never
made any application to him ot any kind un
til yesterday , and it was to know why bo in
sulted my wife I will give him a cnanco to
provo what ho said Wo are not doing any
secondhand or pawn shop business , and no
chief of poileo or anybody else can como In
and charge my wlfo with Illegitimate deals
I will rotcr to Colonel Dalloy or Alderman
Bollinger or any of my neighbors us tu my
character , and such bluffs us tbo chief of po

THE RUSSIAN CROWN JEWELS
When tlio Czarluu Wcnrs Them She
Is a Guritcous Vision
No woman in the world wears as many
jewels as the czarina Kvon her slstor ,
who wlion she comes to the Enirlish
tlii'ono will wonr the Kohinoor , will not
have such jewels or wear so many of
them at ono time
The Russian crown iowols are Bomo-
thing simply fabulous It is to bo
doubted whether anyone outside of that
country has any delinito conception of
the extent of the Romanoff possessions
in the way nf precious stones The
Russians still retain tholr old barbaric
love of splendor , and when the cmproBS ,
shows herself she is u vision of un
matched corgeousness She is ono of
the few monnrehs who still make a
practice of wearing a crown on great
occasion b.
Most of the European queens and em
presses contout themselves with u tiara ;
even Queen Victoria , on the occasion of
her jubilee levees wore only ono ' of the
diamond tiaras audi as may do seen on
the heads of women in the boxes at the
Metropolitan opuru house Mra As tor
used to wear a very hnndsomo
one of the same sort Rut tlio
czarina wear * a real crown , There
are several she uses , but the favor ito
ono is that made and worn by the greut
Elhaboth of Ru&sia , und which is leaded
with gems of grout prlco The pearls
ulouoaro said tube valued at something
like 80,000 roubles
When the empress danced recently
with the Austrian ambassador she was
nrrayod in a fusliion of which Solomon
never dreamed nor Ballets ever saw
On her head was the Elizabethan
crown Her gown was of heavy whlto
watcrod silk , with a white velvet train ,
embroidered heavily in gold , and hung
about all the edges with gold balls
The front of the gown was orna-
mnnted with ropes of linked pink coral ,
sot in diamonds and fastened at inter
vals to the dross The necklace she
wore uonUilnod ever a thousand stones ,
and reached nearly from neck to waist
a mass of rubies , sapphires nnd diamonds
mends a voritublo breastplate of
go ins
Bosldos all this , she were on her
breast about half of her orders she has
over forty in ull aud they , too , were
flashing with pretty stones Her rings ,
brauolots and earrings were all equally
niivgiiificont , and when she danced ft
was like the northern lights in a misty
sky , a myriad dashing rays of all hues ,
glittering aud changing with every
movement

UnIhIhu Sugar Hnon
Wo will nil know something about
the special eulturo of sugar boots in ti
year or two , but I will venture n llttlo
ndvico based on my oxporlonco In rais
ing close garden crops on Nebraska soil
So much depends on the proper manage
ment of this great crop that I will only
glvu a few simple directions for cultiva
tion , leaving seeding , distance of rows ,
gathering , etc , to these who will very
llkoly soon fully supply nil needed in
formation , snys a correspondent of the
Nebraska Farmer There is not ono
gardener or farmer in ton that under
stands the exceeding importance of
thoroughly lining the soil before put
ting the scod in A crop of onions can
bo raised on Nebraska soil without pull
ing a weed by hrindl
I had rather have a crop of corn that
was never cultivated but hnrrowod llvo
times just before and just nftor plant
ing than to take it when It w.ns a foot
high without the harrowing and try to
rniso it crop by cultivating with a corn
plow
Now.it is very evident to my mind
that tlio farmer who lifts the mo rtgago
from his homo with big paying crops of
sugar boots will ho the man who knows
the value of pulverization of soils Ho
will bo out with a harrow or plankor
warm afternoons in February , or even
in January , mellowing the ground Ho
is helping lack Frost , one of natures
own pulverizers , in his task When
spring really comes tills brainy farmer
just goes ut that sugar beotground with
tooth and nail as it were , plows it all
up perhaps but never once does ho
think of putting in the seed till the Held
is like meal for a depth of live or ' six
inches Then ho drills in the scod very
thinly , three Inches deep , and very
likely the mortgage lifter will put the
rows three and one-half to three and
three-fourths feet apart for ho is plnn-
nmg to use the horses and can plow
later on Now after ho has put his drill
away ho hitches a team right outo a
small toothed harrow ( teeth sloping
backward ) and goesover the whole field ,
driving in thu same direction the rows
run In four or live days he harrows It
again , and if a hhower falls ho watches
for the wimo when the rich soil is just
dry enough and , on goes the harrow
once more
The seeds of beets are not hurt by
early planting , and it takes n hard
frost to injure thorn after they are up ,
so our friend is very likely aiming to
got hiB boots well tip before it is warm
enough to start woods As soon as the
seo-ls begin to sprout ' his harrowing is
at an end ; but not the pulverizing pro
cess , for ho takes down n good wide
steel rake and rnkes the whole ground
ever just as the iutlo loaves are ready
to break the soil It is the hardest
work und roquires-fl wntchful eye and
nn expert hand not'fo rake too deep butte
to also stir complolely all the soil and
thus kill all the weeds , for weed kill
ing Is going ou at'n-grcut ' rate though
the naked eye cannot see it A good ,
aetlvo man can thus rake ever an acre
in a day of onion crop , nnd at least twice
as much of beet crop in widorows „ I
have just called this raking the hardest
word of the whole job , and it is the most
important , for in throe days nfter it the
long , straight rows ot little beets will
bo nluinly soon nnd not n live weed in
sight A good double wheel hoe Is now
started in , and if our farmer has twenty
acres ho will have to stop lively to get
ever it , at say three acres a day , two
times before the boots are largo enough
to use the horse plow4 This can bo
done when the plants are two Inches
high because the soil is so fine the dirt
can bo stirred close to the rows without

I'urn Water for Mlloti Cow-a.
Any animal which gives milk is
thereby to a greatoxtout protected from
disease What would otherwise causu
sickness has an escape valve through
the milk secretion , says an exchange
The moro statement of this fact ought
to ompaslzo the necessity of giving
milch cows pure water Tlio uiilmalth-
fulnoss of milk in summer , from which
so many children sicken and d cis moro
frequently caused by giving the cows
impure water than by anything else
The cow should not bo nllowed to drink
what is unlit for a person
Warming vs Cooking Kuril
Not nearly so much is said as former
ly about the necessity of cooking food
for stock It is undoubtedly the fact
that warming food to near the animal
heat is a good thing in cold weather
and in most cases the cooked food is fed
whllo warm , which may account for its
supposed advantagessays the Nebraska
Farmer There is certainly harm in
giving wet food at a temperature near
the freezing point in winter , ns it is apt
to bo even in moderate weather , Tlio
constant evaporation from the surface
rapidly cools anything that is wet , and
the introduction of food with a temperature
aturo of 40 ° into a stomach where the
natural warmth is iS ) = produces n chill
that requires n good deal of the food
consumed to overcome The conked
food that has bocotno entirely cold is no
bettor than that not cooked-for most
kinds of stock
Where , the Ijius Occurs
The loss in keeping poultry is mostly
in the winter season , and results from
keoing over from spring stock that consume -
sumo food without giving any return
Such stock consists , usually , of immature -
turo pullets ovorfat hens , surplus
cockerels , late hatched chicks and
moulting hens The food is not the
only consideration in the matter , as the
room is ulso tukon up and occupied ,
says tlio Farm and Fireside A dozen
laying hens in the ontirollock have the
duty of convincing their owner that
poultry pays , while the others eat their
share of food and refute the impression
irmdo by the prolltablo momburs of the
flock Nearly all poultry houses con
tain unproiltablo stock , and the only
reason for permitting such is the ox-
poctnncy of each beginning the work of
egg production daily Thorois no half
way house in the raattorof poultry keep
ing und but little reliance can be placed
on the future It is the ovor-presont
that wo must meet , and no ono should
over attempt to wait for a prolit The
best hens that are known will find it
difticult to recover lost time , nnd this
is moro applicable to the surplus stock
that give no promlso of production
until the 6pring rolls around Loss of
time is loss of profit , and the safest and
surest mode of avoiding loss is to keep
no unproductive stock
Winter Effects of Unilcrdrainigr
Some of the minor advantages of un-
derdrainngo assume great importance
in winter It is quito nuparent upon
obsorvatlou that ground properly un-
dordrained heaves much the less in
winter It is tlTo expansion ot the water
in the soil , at the moment of freezing ,
that heaves the soil Dry earth does
not expand at nny temperature , says
the American Agriculturist Draining
protects the soil against nn excess of
water , and there is no excess of mois
ture , only capillary and hygroscopic
moisture , to be expanded by freezing
The effect of tho'oxpunsion ot these is
comparatively slight This partly ex
plains why , ether things being equal ,
winter wheat succeeds best on under
drnsned ground Undordralnngo often
prevents damage to the wheat in yet
another way Not infrequently water
stands on the surface of lint land ,
freezes into ice , and smothers the
wheat It is rnro thut an entlro Hold Is
so damaged , yet sometimes largo
Holds are ultogother killed out
Peter Hondorson , the veteran mnrkot
gnrdonor , road a paper on this subject
before the Massachusetts state board
of agiiculturo , at their meeting Decom-
bor3,1881) ) . His advice is usually good
and to the point , and a few extracts can
hardly bo otherwise but welcome to our
readers
There are thousands of farmers , says
Mr Hendersonwhoso lands are near to
the smaller towns , hotels , watorlng
places and mimmor boarding houses ,
where , if the farmer would devote a
low acres to fruits or vegetables , or
both , there is scarcely a doubt that
every aero so cultivated would bo much
moro prolltablo than If devoted to ordi
nary farm crops In most ensos , success
would bo proportioned to the quality of
the land , but no ono need hesitate to
begin the cultivation of either fruit or
vegetable orops on any soil that will
raise a good crop of corn , hay or pota
toes ,

The Into A. T. Stewart ot Now York
wus a man of brains am } energy , Like
many ether shrewd business men however -
over , ho had his weaknesses , says tlio
Atlanta Constitution In an avil hour
ho formed a friendship with Judge
Henry Hilton . The judge worked him
self into the good graces of-tho million
aire and was made his executor Stewart -
art died believing that ho hud loft his
holrs $ o0,000,000. Recently the heirs
had to bring suit against Hilton for
$12-3,000.000. A compromise of some sort
has boon effected , but Hilton uppoars to
have absorhod the dead mans wealth In
some mysterious way The whole busi
ness is very complicated , and no satis
factory explanation has boon made pub
lic The only thing thut sticks out
plainly is the fact that Stewart's money
has been kept from the rightful heirs
It rich mon could look into the future
nnd boo the disposition of their fortunes
it would make thorn sick at heart It is
unploasnnt to think of the earnings of a
long nnd honorable business career
squandered by prodigals or appropriated
by roobors And yet this is an old story
When the avorngo rich mans fortune
does not fall in the hands of a Judge
Hilton it often gees to a spendthrift
