Kane has resided here for a number of yoars and has borne an uns savory reputation as a very tough character. He has frequently figured 1n police court transuctions, and was regarded by the po- lice as an unusually bad man. He was a ringleader of the notorious “'packiag house gang” in the western part of the city and wasa pal of young Donahus, wno was killed in a saloon quarrel u% the corner of Broadway and Tenth straots i ago. 1t has been frequently predictel that Kane would shortly lani in ths enitentiary, and he started out last Monday afternoon with the avowed intention of seckiug troubl but he has found all that he can haudle is a fact that can not be disputed. Shortly after leaving home he attacked a colored woman, the wife of the notorious “Tex.” Ba and threatencd to kil her. An ofticer wus sent for and he skipped for Lako Manawa, where he got into 4 dispute with a teamster, and a pitched battle ensued. Kane was downed and was recaiving a s vere pummeling whea another teimster named Robert Phillips iaterfered una sepa rated them, demandiog t the same time that they cease their fighting. Kane rose to s feet and Phiilips turned 10 go away. As he did so Kane reached his hand 1uto his hip pocket, deliberately putied out his knife and made for Phillips, plunging the weapon into his vietim's vack, after which he jumped 1nto his wagzon and drove away. Puiilips was picked up and removed to his lhome, where Dr, Hellinger rendered him medical assistance. Later Kane was cap- tured by Deputy Marshal White at the ius! tute for the deaf and dumb and jailed.

The plain- Uft is H, O. Meade, who runs a pump and windmill establishment at No. 612 Broad- way. He has engaged the sorvices of Coio- nel D, B, Dailey and proposes to make it quite warm for the boss of the club wielders, Meade charges Lucas with insulting his wife, and thav lady tells u story that very strongly corroborates the charge, ‘I'ne whole uffair grew out of the stealing of o pump chain from John HBooth's well by Johnny Murphy. Meade’s story 18 that two boys came to his pluce of business about 6 o'clock Tuesday evening and wanted to rell the chain, stating that their mother wanted it eold, baving no further use for it in the cistern, They said their mother’s name was Mrs, Carroll, and told a very straight story. Meade consulted the owner of a fruit stend near by, who told him he thought it was all right, and he accordingly bought the chain for repuir work. He bung it up io the front part of his store and thought 10 more about it. Wednesday aftornoon the chief of police entered the place and seeing the chain de- manded to kuow of Mrs. Meade why she bought it. He msisted that both she and ber nusband knew it was stolen and knew that it was young Murphy whosold it. Yes- terduy he called again and took the chain, after again insulting Mrs. Mecade by un- warranted iosinuations. At the time of both visits Meade was uway at work, but he learned that the chain was gone vesterday noon and telephoned the chief that he wanted to see him. He drove to the station und accused Lucas of insulting his wife, The chief denied it, and Meade then invited nim to get iuto his bugey and Lie would soon confront him with witnesses. Lucas refused wo go, and Meade went away, soon returning with his wife, but the interview that followed did not sutisfy Meade, and ne immediately sought an at- torney’s advice. Said he last evening: ‘‘Just because folks aro poor 18 no reason why o woman should be insulted by the chief of po~ lice. He wanted 1o show his authority, but 1t wasn't in the right place, He cven lusin- uated that it wasn't the first time my wife had been eneaged in similar work. When I called av the station and made known my business he said: ‘Ob, yes; you are the fel- low who came to me and wanted to be ap- pointed as detective 8o you could go around wnd visiv the houses of prostitution,’ I never mude any application to him ot any kina un- til yesterday, and it was to know why he in- sulted my wife. I will give him & cnance to prove what he said. We are not downg_any second-hand or pawn shop business, and no chief of police or anybody else can come in and charge my wife with illegitimate deals. I will refer to Colonel Dalley or Alderman Beilinger or any of my neighbors us tu my character, and such bluffs as the chief of po- lico tried on won't go.

She said that she wanted bim to find her baby for her. She gave the child, wbich is only & year old, to Mrs. Nel~ lie Smith, No. 1128 Avenue C, about a week 8go, and agreed to pay &2 a week for its board. When she went for it yesterday she learned that Mrs Smith gave it away on Monday, and would not tell her where it was goue. Mrs, Luccock then decided to call in the assistance of the stroug arm of the law. She is the wife of James Luccock, the feliow who was urrested forsuspected complicity in firing the barn of Willlam Lewis some l{mo ago. She is employed as cook ut Alice Wil- 801 w10, No. 119 Pierce strect, and says she worked for the board of herself and bus- band and $2 a week. He did nothing and L. Shugart, F. M.

This was about three weeks ago, and she has not seen him for the past week., She is working as a domestic, and wants me one to board the bahy, but she wiil not o it away. She says Mrs. Smith insisted on taking the child, although she had several of her own, he mother intended placing 1t with a colored wormun, but Mrs. Smith objected. Now tho whereabouts of the missing baby are un- Known to anyone save Mrs. Smith and she will not tell. The caso was referred to the police.

Even hor sister, who when she comesto the English throne will wear the Kohinoor, will not have such jewels or wear so many of them at one time. The Russian crown jewels are some- thing simply fabulous. It is to be doubted whether anyone outside of that country hns any delinite conception of the extent of the Romanoff possessions in the way of precious stones, The Russians still retain_their old barbaric love of splendor, and when the empress shows herself she is a vision of un- matched gorgeousness. She is one of the few monarchs who still make a practice of wearing a crown on great occasions. Most of the Luropean queens and em- presses content themselves with a tiara; even Queen Victoria, on the occasion of her jubilee levees, wore only one of the dinmond tiaras such as may ve seen on the heads of women in the boxes at the Metropolitan opera house. Mrs. Astor used to wear a very handsome one of the same sort, But the czarina wears a real crown, There are several she uses, but the favorite one is that made and worn by the great Elizabeth of Russia,uad which is loaded with gems of great price. The pearls alone are said to be valued at something like 80,000 roubles. When the empress danced recently with the Austrian ambassador she was arrayed in a fushion of which Solomon never dreamed nor Balkis ever saw. On her head was the Elizabethan crown. Her gown was of heavy white watered sillk, with a white velvet train, embroidered heavily in gold, and hung about all the edgeswith gold balls. The front of the gown was orna- mented with ropes of linked pink coral, set in dinmonds and fastened at inter- vals to the dress. The necklace she wore contained over a thousand stones, and reached nearly from neck to waist —a mass of rubies, sapphires and dia- monds—a veritable breast-plate of gems. Besides all this, she wore on her breast about half of her orders—she has over forty in all—and they, t0o, were flashing with pretty stones.” Her rings, bracelets and earrings were all equafl magnificent, and when she danced it was like the vorthern lights in a misty sky, a myriad tiashing rays of all hues, glittering and changing with every movement. OF INTEREST-T0 THE FARME How to Cultivate Sugar Bosts in Nebraska Soil. WARMING AND COOKING FOOD. What Kaffir Corn Hus to mend It—The' Oare of Trees— Winter Eff:cts of Underdrainage. Raiving Sugar Boe‘s. We will all know something about thespecial culture of sugar beets in a vear or two, but [ will venture a little advice based on my experience in r: ing close garden cropson Nebraska soil. So much dependson the proper manage- ment of this great crop that I will only give a few simple directions for cultiva- tion, leaving sceding, distance of rows, gathering, ete., to those who will very likely soon fully supply all needed 1u- formation. says a correspondent of the Nobraska Farmer. There is not one gardener or farmer in ten that under- stands the exceeding imvortance of thoroughly fining the soil before put- ting the seed 1n. A crop of onions can be raised on Nebraska soil without pull- ing a weed by hand! 1 had rather have a crop of corn that was never cultivated but harrowed five times just before and just after plant- ing than to take it wheun it wasa foot high without the harrowing and try to raise a crop by cultivating with a corn plow. Now.1t is very evident to my mind that the farmer who lifts the mortgage from his home with big paying erops of sugar beets will be the men who knows the value of pulverization of soils. He will be out with a row or planker warm afternoons in February, or even 1n January, mellowing the ground. He is helping Jack Frost, one of nature’s own pulverizers. in his ta When spring rveally comes this brainy farmer just goes ut that sugar beet ground with “tooth and nuil” as it were, plows it all up perhaps. but never once does he think of putting in the sced till the field is like meal for a depth of five or i inches. Then he drills 1n the seed very thinly, three inches deep, and very likely the mortgage lifter wtll put the rows three and one-half to three and three-fourths feet apart for he is plan- ning to use the horses and can piow later on. Now after he has put his drill away he hitches a team right ounto a small toothed harrow (teeth sloping backward) and goesover the whole field, driving in the same direction the rows run., In four or five days he harrows it again, and if & shower fulls he watches for the time 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 a hard frost to injure them after they are up, so our friend is very likely aiming to get his beets wetl up before 1t is warm enough to start weeds. As soon as the seeds begtn to sprout his harrowing is atun end; but not the pulverizing pro- cess, for he takes down a good wide steel ruke and rgkes the whole ground over just as the little leaves are ready to break the soil, It is the hardest work and requiresa watehful eye and an expert hand not 1o rake too deep but to also stir completely all the soil and thus kill all the weeds, for weed kill- ing is going on at o great rate though the naked eye cannot sce it. A good, active man can thus rake over an acre in a day of onion crop. and at least twice as much of beet crop in wide rows. I have just called this raking the hardest word of the whole job, and it is the most important, for in three days after it the long, straight rows of little beets will be plainly seen and not a live weed in sight. A good double wheel hoe is now started in, and if our farmer has twenty acres he will have tostep lively to get over it, atsay three acres a day, two times before the beets are iarge enough to use the horse plow: This can be done when the plants are two inches high because the soil is so fine the dirt can be stirred close to the rows without covering the plants. Aftér the first plowing a good corn raiser can do the rest, Top Working Treos. The test winters in our history show that the majority of our trees lack con- stitutional hardiness. There are no pear, cherry or European plum stocks available as yet by the use of which the hardiness of the vawieties can be im- proved, so the discussion must be con- fined to the apples. Mismanagement, rather than natural conditions,has been the cause of our checkered career in apple culture, says the Orange Judd Farmer. After a lengthy discussion of the various methods advocated, or tried and passed, to get hardy trees, he con- cludea that we must place our main de- pendence for winter and spring apples entirely upon our native assortment of keepers; and as these have all- proved more or less defective,we must top work these on congenial “ironclad” stocks. Of Siberians which have given best re- sults as stocks, are Whitney, Milton, Virginia, Shields and Onin; and among Russians, Duchess, Charlamoff, Hiber- nal, Euonnous and Green Streaked. There is not a variety which will not make a perfect union with some of these. Such a double worked tree, with rea- sonable care and proper cultivation aud fertilization, with proper shaping (um- brella being best), protection of trunk against rabbits, mice anl borers prun- ing, a determined fight against insect ests, and careful and judicious market- ng, will give goqd results, Ll Proper | of Poultry.

It is undoubtedly the fact that warming food to near the animal heat is o good thing in cold weather and in most ¢ the cooked food is fed while warm, which may account for its supposed advantages, says the Nebraska Parmer. There is certainly harm in giving wet food at a temperature near the [reezing point in winter, as it is apt to be even in moderate weather. The constant evaporation from the surface rapidly cools anything that is wet, und the introduction of food with a temper- ature of 40= into a stomach where the natural warmth is 98 produces a chill that requires a good deal of the food consumed to overcome. The cooked food that has become entirely cold is no better than that not cookel for most kinds of stock. Where the Loss Oceura. The loss in keeping pouitry is mostly in the winter season, and results from keeing over from spring stock that con- sume food without giving any return Such stock consists, usually, of imma- ture pullets. overfat hen: surplus cockere late hatched chicks and moulting hens. The fool is not the only consideration in the matter, as the room is also taken up and occupied. says the Farm and Fireside. A dozen laying hensin the entire flock have the duty of convincing their owner that poultry pays, while the others eat their share of food and refute the impression made by the profitable members of the flock. {qurly all poultry houses con- tain unprofitable stock, and the only renson for permitting such is the ex- pectancy of each beginning the work of egg production daily. Thereis no hulf- way house in the mattor of poultry keep- ing and but little relianee can be placed on the future. It is the ever-present that we must meet, and no one should ever uttempt to wait for a profit. The best hens that are known will find it difficult to recover lost time, and this is more apphicable to the surplus stock that give no promise of production until the spring rolls around. Loss of time is loss of profit, and vhe safest and surest mode of avoiding loss is to keep no unproductive stock. Winter Effccts of Underdrainage. Some of the minor advantages of un- derdrainage assume great importance in winter. It is quite abparent upon observation that ground properlv un- derdrained heaves much the less in winter. It istife expansionof the water in the soil, at the moment of freczing. that heaves the soil. Dry earth doe not expand at any temperature, says the American Agriculturist. Draining protects the soil against an excess of water, and there 18 no excess of mois- ture, only capillary and hygroscopic moisture, to be expanded by’ freezing. The effect of the’expansion of these is comparatively slight. This partly ex- plains why, ~other things being equal, winter wheat succeeds best on under- drasned ground. Underdrainage often prevents damage to the wheat in yet another way. Not infrequently water stands on the surface of flat land, freezes into ice, and smothers the wheat. It israre that an entire field is so damaged, vet sometimes large fields are altogether killed out. Peter Henderson, the veteran market gardener, read a paper on this subject before the Massachusetts state board of agriculture, at their meeting Decem- ber 3, 1889, His advice is usually good and to the point, and a few extracts can hardly be otherwise but welcome to our readers, There are thousands of farmers, says Mr. Henderson, whose lands are near to the smaller towns, hotels, watering places and summer boarding houses, where, if the farmer would devote a few acres to fruits or vegetables, or both, there is scarcely a doubt that every acre 80 cultivated would be mu moré profitable than if devoted to ordi- nary farm crops. In most cases, success would be proportioned to the quality of the ll\nd.EuL no one need hesitate to begin the cultivation of either fruit or vegetable crops on uny soil that will rnhe a good crop of corn, hay or pota- toes. e CHRISTMAS AT THE ELYSEE, Madame Oarnot's tertainment to Four Hundred Poor Ohilaran, Madame Carnot aid things hand- somely in receiving the 400 poor chil- dren whom she had to lunch and swip tihe Christmas trees at the Elysce palace, writes a Paris correspondent of the New York Tribune. There were six lofty pines in the winter garden, all us heavily laden as they could be with presents, and four others in the theater, where Punch-und-Judy actors rformed a couple of Darthenay’s unny pappazzi plays, The latter were as replete with practical jokes and droll points as a good plum pudding is with raisins.

The late A, T. Stewart of New York was o man of brains and_energy, Like many other shrewd business men. how- ever, he had his weaknesses, says the Atlauta Constitution. Tn an evil hour he formed a friendship with Judge Henry Hilton. . The judge worked him- self into the good graces of the million- aire and was made his executor. Stew- art died believing that he had left his heirs $30,000,000. Recently the heirs had to bring suit against’ Hilton for $25,000.000. A compromise of some sort has been effected, but Hilton appears to have absorhed the dead man’s wealth in some mysterions way. The whole busi ness is very complicated, and no satis- fuctory explanation has been made pub- lie. The only thing that sticks out plainly is the fact that Stewart’s money has been kept from the rightful heirs. If rich men 2ould 100k into the future and see the disposition of their fortunes it would make them sick at heart. Itis unpleasant to think of the earnings of a long and hounorable business career squandered by prodigals or appropriated l‘:’e; rovbers. And yet this is an old stery. hen the average rich man’s fortuns does not fall in the hands of a Judgo Hilton it often goes to a spendthrift. SPECIAL NOTICES, COUNCIL BLUFFS, FOR SALE AND RENT.
