d;'s Plan a Snccei.
The Ietartment of Aziiculture has
held l.Ui institutes in .V counties of the
State during the IsuVrt season. Inle
have been fixed for abmt 3.) m ire.
making a total of lo for the institute
year. It is ulo intended to hold a num
ber of spring or summer Institutes lie
fore tii" close of the liscal year. Ap
ni;...ii,.iu l.ncn uln-adv liren n-eived
for a large iiiiinlsT of institutes to lie i
h Id during the next ic.itumn and w in-I
ter. There is a growing demand for insti
tutes to Is? held iuScptemlierand Octolier
and b-w. desire for dates in March and
April. Thus far I jineastcr leads the lift
with eight institutes. Susquehanna and
Lackawanna have each held six.
The eorp' of institute workers now con
sists of I'rof. John Hamilton, Colonel
John A. Woodward, T. It. Terry of Ohio;
Senator N. H. Critchtiel 1 of Somerset,
and one memls-r of the State Hoard of
Agriculture selected for each week. Tho

as.sint wlienevertheirservices are needeiL
Secretary Edge tills gaps caused by
sickness or alienee of any member of the
force. The secretary has thus tar attended
institutes, lie expects to get to at
least P) more before tho close of the
reason.
The dates are so arranged as to have
two sets of institutes in progress at the
same time and tho corps of institute
workers is divided and changed to suit
the locality and leading interest of tho
district in which the meetings ar held.
Secretary Edge is called into requisiton
wherever commercial fertilizers are useu
extensively. Mr. Terry talks upon itato
cultivation and clover production. Prof.
IUmilton is an authority uion roads and
road law. Each rnemlfr of the force has
one or more specialties which are calle.1
into requisition as tho wants of the
district may indicate.
At tho commencement of the season
there was much objection on the part of
loeal managers and members of tho
S'nte It.Kird of Agriculture to the de
partment fixing the dates iu advance.
I'nder the management of the loard
dates were selected by each meiulier at
will and without any reference to tb-we of
adjacent or adjoining counties, and much
of tin; funds of the State failed to pro.lu.ro
the hest results ls-eanse ot the greatly
increased amount of travel occasioned by
the want of system.
Under the management of the depart
ment dates are fixed at the commence
ment of the scn and they are so ar-r-iiijred
that the fon-e of institute workers
m -y pass from one county to another
with a miniiJiuni of expense. The local
iue!.!irtr of the Stale liof.rd of Agriculture
is permitted to selccl the pla-vs at which
the institutes of the county shall te held,
but ti. dates are fixed by central authori
ty. Under the old management 1-Js
institutes were he'd with "?;',")O0. I'nder
the new plan it is expected that 170 will
be held with an annual appropriation of

R.s KKoKii, S. I., March is. "Hold
him under the pump," commanded the
bride. And the lest man and the bride's
father held the groom under the pump
while one ef the guests plied the handle.
A few minutes of this treatment sols-red
him completely, and tho wedding went
ou with a rush. William M. Haugherty,
tiie hero of this rcmaikahle experience,
was scheduled t ) l3 in irrie.l last Thurs
d iy evening lo Miss Edith Spiers, at the
residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Waller F. Spiers, Rockford, S. IK
On the morning of the wedding day he
r.ide in from his farm, twelve miles west
ef town, and ailer paying his respects at
the lady's house, started out with the
boys for a little celebration in honor of
the oTasion. Ry i P. M. Iiaugherty w:is
slightly drunk. He was still aide, how
ever, to il m his spiketail and low cut vest
and make a brave start for the home of
his prospective father-in-law. Eveu then
he might have g.no creditably through
the cei oniony had he not stopped for a
tinal bracer at a sal.ion on the way.
That was tuie too many, and when he
reach, d iiis destination he had to lie sup
ported up the steps and into tho bride's
presen.-e. Then it w:is that the damsel's
patience gave way and her suggestion
concerning the beuelit of external ap
plications of cold water in such cases was
forthcoming. Theeiiicacy of the remedy,
as has already lHei shown, was quiekly
ilemonstrated. The minister opened his
prayer ix-ok at the marriage scrviiv, the
bri.le, flushed with victory, and the
groom, limp and dripping, but quite so-b:-r,
took their places liefore him and the
solemn words were spoken which made
them man and wife. Iiaugherty Says he
considers his wife's action somewhat
ominous of future trouble. He admits
its justice, however, in the else in ques
tion, and assures her that she will have
no further cause for complaint.

For years the big importers have Ikhjii
complaining that packages sent to the

years foreman of the package openers in
the China division, was arrested and

padlocks Tearing the (iovermcut stamp.
Cisco was taken lefore Collector Kil
breth. Ho declared that tho stealing had
I -ecu done by subordinates in the ap
praisers' stores, with the coiiuivan"o of
several of the highest officials. These
officers, Cisco declared, had for years
Iteen sharing in the profits of tho thefts.
He said they had brought their system to
such perfection that detection was im
possible without the treachery of some
one in tiie clique. The goods had for
years lcen regularly disxscd of to
professional receivers of stolen goods.
Several Treasury agents were put on
the ca.se. They reported that they had
verified many of Cisco's statements. It
is expected that there w ill bo sensational

with a prisoner he wanted to lock up. As
the Jailer opened the d.mr iie was cover

demanded, lie refused to surrender the
keys. The mountaineers drew revolvers
on the jailers and th.-y got the keys and
gave them to the mob.
Murphy whs found praying for mercy.
He begged hard for his life but if they
would kill hi:u he ttegg-'d not to be drag

dragged out and hung on the nearest

the robber, who attacked her with a razor
and inlliete'd serious wounds on her face,
arms and breast. Then he made his es

The robber hail ransacked the upper

think that her collapse was largely due
to fright. Mr. Myers has offered a re
ward of jino for tho arrest of the robber.

The End of "EitiMta" Tibbs.
I'nio.vtow.v, Mrch IS. The notorious
negro desperado, "'lvit ibite" Tib!s, is
dying with a b illet hole through his left
lung, the result of a desperate battle with
three oftieors last night. A warrant has
be-e-n out for his arrest for a week past.
charging complicity in the high-vny roli-
bt-ry of three Slavs near here. The negro
heard of tho warrant and avoided the
officers. Constable John Murphy and
Policemen Judson Sisler and Al Sisler
lay in wait for him at tho Centre street
bridge last night, and aliout 9 o'clock saw
him. Tiblissnid: "I guess you are look
ing for me," and while Sisler reached for
him, Tibbs licgun shooting at the officers.
Murphy was as quick on the trigger aa
Tibbs, and shot until his revolver was
empty. Iiuring this time one of tho io
1 icemen was trying to disarm Tibbs but
he wrenched himself loose and drove the
officers away. All of the oflieers fired
until their revolvers were empty. Twenty-two
shots were exchanged during the
tight.
Tiblis walked almost two squares with
the hole through his b:ly before ho fell,
the ollicers following him, not knowing
that they had shot him. Tibbs was taken
to the li'ispiial, but cau not live. None
of tho ollicers were injured.

The Stale Department of Agriculture is
preparing to bring suits iu Pittsliurg,
Philadelphia and other parts of the State,
ag inst grocers who se-11 ordinary table
mustard without its lieing labeled ac
cording to tho pure food act. Secretary
Edge says the law was intended simply
for the protection of the consumer and
not to drive all mixed goods out of the
market, as is the general impression
through the Slate. The crusado is only
against th iso w ho aro oll'ering and sell
ing mustard without tho proper l.iocls
showing tho purchaser that it is coin
sund or mixture. "Table mustard and
similar compounds," says Secretary
Edge, "cau Is" and should lie legally sold,
provided they are so marked, that tho
purchaser may, if he cares to go to
the trouble, know that they aro pure.
This is all th.'l the department requires
and ali thi.t it is requiring.
'In connection with the use of tho
words "compound" or mixture, it should
lie distinctly rememliered that their uso
will not legalise the sale of any mixture
which contains ingredients injurious to
public health. No matter how lals'led,
such mixtures render the seller and
manufacturer lia'oie to heav v penab.i'-a."
