One of th? farmers in the Tanana
Valley has given out the following
j facta regarding his experiences in
.agriculture.
1 "A y??r ago I had three acres of
IK?t*toes, and they yielded me 18
tons; and the market price was
$120 per ton, for which 1 sold
moat of theui. I had one acre of
heels, on which 1 had a crop of
eight tons; two acres of carrots,
| which yielded me seven and a half
tons, with a market price of $140
i per ton; one acre of turnips, from
j which 1 gathered 200 sacks of SO
pounds to the sack, or eight tons,
at ISO to the ton. 1 had two and
a half tons of rutabagas upon one
fourth or an acre of ground, for
which the market price was 1100
j per ton. I had one ton of red
I beets on one-quarter of an acre of
! ground, at 1140 per ton. I had
; 15 acres of barley which 1 cut and
' sold for hay. 1 had three and a
i half tons which 1 sold for $7R per
j ton, and still have enough left to
j fill my barn chuck-full for my own
use for the winter. I raised two
tons of cabbages, which I put
away for the winter, besides which
I sold between three and half
and four tons during the summer
I at an average selling price of $140
I per ton.
"1 raised 29 sucking pig*; also
; 13 pigs which weighed about 100
! i .omuls each, and 23 big hogs I
?sold five of my hogs to the butcher
for $60 each.
"Idwt fall I put in *lx acres of
I winter wheat, bluestem, which I
sowed the second week In August,
and before the snow came in Oc
tober the wheat was up two or
three inches high, and I never
saw a better stand of wheat any
; where 1 have raised good winter
wheat, barley and oats, and all
! kinds of vegetables, and. In my
i judgmeut as a farmer of more than
| :to years' experience the Tanana
I Valley is a first-class agricultural
! country."
The high prices will, of couree.

I sources of the Interior are further

Curious Choice of ? Wife.
Some years ago an Knglish curate
surprised his parishioners liy marrying
a widow considerably older than him
self. The astonishment was stili great
er when the cKSf was known. The
cunte had become engaged to a young
girl whose frivolous conduct soon lc<!
him to regret the step He offesed a
settlement for his release, but it wa>
reftrsed. lie endeavored in every waj
to break the engagement, but withou'
success
"Is there nothing 1 can do to escap<
this?" tie exclaimed one day in despair
"Yes." remarked the girl's mother
who was present and who had beel>
the prime mover in the marriage uego
tiations, "by marry tug me"
The curate decid??l If he bad to mar
ry one of the two he preferred th?
mother and accepted her The yonng
girl soon married a wealthy stockbro j
ker.

"We get our hints from nature," the

DUELS IN MISSOURI

the Mississippi river near St. Loois
Th? spot remains, but It l? no looker
?d Island It now Is a part of Kast
St. Louis
The opprobrious title was derived
from the ninny sanguinary encoun
tetti which took pint* on the Island
Ueie It was that the fatal affaire
d'honneur l>etween Thomas H. Ben
I ton and Charles 11 L?!W? took place
O-ie dny In ISjfl the?e two men en
paced In trying a lawsuit, one repre
son Hue the plaintiff and the other the
defendant .|.u?as was twenty-five ,
venf* old. son of a Judge and the dis
trli l attorhcy of the territory. Benton
too, was well known and later became
United States senator Uicas won the
c??f. Ills opponeot accused hltn of t
Juggling with the evidence The ac |
rnMtlon was relented. and It was re i
sponsible for a challenge issued by
Henton Lucas refused to fight. say
Inn that he cnnld not be held account |
abltt for defending his client
Hid blood mMd. and from time to
: time the two men the next year often
! cnciicd In harsh words. Finally on j
an election day Benton questioned <
j l?U' right to cote, saylnc that the |
! otbtr had not paid his taxes It Irked I
! I uraa who later referred to hla enemy
as n puppy " This appellation was
! (oo much for Benton. who again chal I
lenited Lucas to a duel Thla time the ;
| challenge was accepted.
j The two men met on Woody Island
I Anff. 12. 1*1" The encounter took ;
place at a distance of thirty feet Lu
cas fell with a bullet In his neck npon
! the exchange of shots- Upoo the ad- ;
vie* of seconds l.ucas declared himself
satisfied The men shook hands and |
went to their homes. The wound was
not dangerous A few days later the
two men met on the street again, and.
like two schoolboys, another tight was
planned This time It was to be at a
j distance of only ten feet Lucas was
I moltally wounded Benton was unln- i
jnnnL He apprAiohed the dying man.
! Recording to custom, and expressed his |
?orrow Lucas flashed forth an accu
sation of murder, but a few minutes
latt*r before dying he recanted and ex- I
pressed t?f* forgiveness.
But the first duel that ever took
place on Bloody Island was fought In
1811) between Dr. Farrar and James A.
Griham. One of Dr. Farrnr s friend*
challenged Graham. but the challenge
wan refused on the ground that 1-ar
rars friend was not a gentleman Pr
Fairar was then under obligation to
defend the honor of his friend. This i
challenge was accepted, and as a re- ;
sub: Graham was severely Injured and J
died after months of suffering.
A second duel on !J'.oody Island oc
currcd In 1816 between Captain Henry
8. r.eyer and Captain C.eorge H. Ken^
nerlv. both veterans of the war of
1812 Captain Geyer wss for many
vears a lender In Missouri politics and
one of the states most able lawyers
Kennedy was wonnded at the second ,
(Ire and remained a cripple for life.
There were many other duels fought .
here between some of Missouri s ear y ,
statesmen and pioneers A few of tiie
encounters were the Thomas Hemp
ste, id-Joshua Barton duel tn 181* the
Martin Ramsey sffalr In ,s,s<
Reynolds- Brown. Walker-Marmaduke
and Pettus Biddle. .
VHille duels would not be eonnte
nailed under any con?ldenition toda^
It raist tie remembered that at this time
th?v were almost as common amonc
men as fights among whoolboya. If a
man felt thnt bis- honor had been im
pencbed in any way the popular thing
to do was to settle It by a duel, pistols
being used In nearly every Instance.
There was a certain unwritten "code
observed For Instance. In the duel
between Geyer and Kenneriy the fol
lowing were the rules:
The ground shall be measured off
to *ix puces
The err.: lemen shnlt *?nn<1
back at the distance of six yards from
each other.
At the word "March" the gentlemen
shall immediately step off three pacei
?n.S turn and tire without further or
del* .
If eltter party reserves hla lire and
continues to take aim after the other
ha ? fired he shall be shot Instantly by
the adverse second.
The seconds sball decide by lot which
el i tiie word.
*. ? only words shall be. "Are yoxi
raid) V and. being answered In the af
firmative. the word "March" shall be
this order for stepping off and turning
and firing as above stated.
The wen pou s smoothbore pistols
The pistols to be delivered cocked to
thu gentlemen after they have taken
thi?lr places and to be held hanging
down by the side until after the word
"March" . .
One can readily see why Bloody
land should become a popular spot for
duels. First It wns near St Louis, the
largest town In the state. The Island,
being In the middle of the river, was
m'jre or less secluded, and also the
eround was neutral, as neither Mlssotv
ri nor Illinois had jurisdiction over It
Bloody Island passed out of existence
atout 1800. when dikes were bui t and
It wns linked with Illinois or East St
Louts.- Kansas City Time*.
