BEDFORD CELEBRATION Lincoln Proclamation of Emancipation was celebrated by the colored citizens of Taylor County at Bedford, Iowa, last Saturday a large crowd was out and every one seem to enjoy the meeting. The morning programme was dispensed, with the exception of the Bedford band, which gave a concert. In the afternoon a shower of rain prevented the exercises from being held out doors, so the crowed gathered at the City Hall Auditorium. Mr. D. Isom, the President call the meeting to order, prayer by Mr. Johnson and music by the band after which the Mayor Mr. Manley delivered the welcome address then Mr. McCoun (white) made a rousing speech tinged with politics, after each speech the Bedford band rendered music.

Thompson of Des Moines the orator was introduced and held the people for one hour in telling the history, suffering, progress and duties yet unsolved to be met, his speech was warmly applauded, thee Ex. Senator Geo. L. Finn spoke very eloquently and earnestly, after which the crowd adjourned. A concert was had in the evening. WEALTHY COLORED FARMER LEAVES IOWA. Samuel Shackelford, one of the self-made men of our race and who is the most successful colored farmers in southwestern Iowa, and perhaps the state, has decided to leave the Hawkeye state and take up his abode in Oklahoma. Mr. Shackelford and family moved from Galesburg, Ill., about fifteen years ago and settled in the then wild prairie of Taylor county, four and one-half miles northeast of Gravity, where he has remained every since adding to his home until he has recently built an eight room two story house, modern in every way. His barn recently built is 40x60 feet with wind mill and other convictions it makes it without a doubt a model country home. He has just sold his farm 220 acres at $50 per acre, and will invest his money in Oklahoma land. He has a very intelligent family of three children. Miss Mattie, a bright young lady who is an artist; James, a student at Simpson college and Willie, who is at home and a member of the Sharp's band. Mr. and Mrs. Shackelford will leave immediately after the sale for several weeks visit in his former home, Ohio and Illinois. We are sorry to see Mr. Shackelford leave Iowa for the success of our race depend upon the shoulders of such men. However we wish them success. Below we print a part of his sale as printed on the bill. "Having sold my farm I will sell at my residence 3 miles west of Sharps and 4½ north-west of Gravity on September 24. Commencing at 10 a. m. the following described property: 64 head of cattle, 17 head of horses, 35 head of stock hogs, 1 wagon, 1 Rock Island Hay Loader, 1 corn sheller, 1 harrow, 2 culivators, 2 plows (1 sulky,) 1 new four burr Mogul Feed Grinder, 6 movable hog houses' 15 acres of corn in field, 200 bushels of oats, about 25 tons of hay and 2 ricks of straw. THE NEW MINISTER. The newly appointed minister for the A. M. E. church, Rev. T. L. Phillips of Minneapolis, arrived here last week early enough to preach at the regular time and place. The reverend's family has not moved here yet but will soon. Rev. Phillips is quite an eloquent devine and an earnest worker in the different church auxiliaries, especially the Christian Endeavor society. We welcome him here and hope that he will maintain that high esteem for the church as did his worthy predecessor. STAND BY THE REPUBLI CAN PARTY. Recently there has been a disposition on the part of a few colored men to vote for the democratic party. We say in all seriousness to stand by and support the Republican party, for its principales are right. Sometimes a few selfish men try to pervert that party in the wrong direction but as we are members of that party we should assist and help to right all wrongs and maintain those old sacred principles of the party. Remember what little favor and help we as a race has ever received has come through the Republican party, and anything for the elevation of the race has been opposed by the Democratic party. The jim crow car law, the lynch law, the mob law and the disfrenchising law has been made and passed by democrats, and even such rebels as pitchfork Tillman stand up in congress and thank God that they disfranchised the Negro vote. This man's own statement is enough to convince the Negro that the democrats do not want us. We cannot see how any decent colored voter will support such a party. Let us stand by the grand old republican party. DEFORD FOR SUPERVISOR. The republicans of the Fourth Supervisor district has nominated Mr. DeFord, a well known farmer of Walnut T. P. Mr. DeFord has never held any public office, except member of Township trustee and member of School Board. He is now foreman of the grand jury, and has always been a republican. For five years he served in the regular army under General Custor's command. He is honest and has good judgment, and with his pleasant and sociable way of meeting people has made many friends. The republicans and especially the colored voters should see to it that he has their support. When in Muchakinock, Iowa, stop at MRS. ADDIE JOHNSON'S RESTAURANT for good meals or short orders; also Ice Cream, Prompt attention given to all orders. BYSTANDER. GONE TO HER REWARD. Mrs. Elizebeth Jones, one of our highly respected citizens, departed this life Friday morning, Sept. 21, of heart trouble. Mrs. Jones was born in Kentucky in 1847, moving from there to Callio, Mo., and to this city in 1886, where she has since resided. She was the mother of six children; two died in infancy, two daughters, Belle and Etta, who died in this city, the former 4 years ago the latter about 2 years ago, and two sons, Robert and Arthur, who survive her; and a host of friends to mourn her death. She was an active member of St. Paul's A. M. E. church. The funeral services were held from the church Sunday afternoon, conducted by Dr. F. J. Peterson. The floral tributes were numerous and beautiful. The pall bearers were T. E. Barton, David Bomer, Wm. Coalson, B. J. Holmes, E. T. Banks and J. H. Shepard. The remains were laid to rest in Woodland cemetery. She was a loving mother and kind to all. COLORED CLUB ORGANIZED. The colored voters of Saylor mine met last Monday night and organized the largest political club yet organized in this county. The T. P. committeeman is J. M. Edwinbon, white. They elected Mr. Rolly Pritchard president John Mason Secretary. They will hold another meeting Monday evening, Oct. 1. Attorney J. B. Rush made the principle address; also Mr. DeFord, candidate for Supervisor, and Hyden Saylor (white) spoke awhile. The club has 30 men to join that evening and all are enthused for the success of McKinley and Roosevelt. J. L. Thompson, the negro editor of the Bystander, has been appointed a deputy in Treasurer McKay's office. Could not a white man have been found in the whole of Des Moines competent for the position?—Runnells Telegram. The above article is from the pen of a paper which is supposed to be republican. We were indeed surprised to think that any Iowaian was so narrow and prejudiced as to utter such words. Certainly such a man is not intelligent. The Bystander considers the editor of the Runnells Telegram, below our dignity to pay any attention to, but we simpquote him to show what some people will do. We understand that the editor is recently from the state of Georgia and since he has been in our country has been in lawsuit with a woman, as the court records shows. Below we print a reply that the Mitchellville Index (white) says. It is the true kind of republicanism that every one should be judged: Mr. Thompson is educated, competent, and a good citizen in every respect. That being the case, why should he not have the position without question? We fear Bro. Morris is not the Republican he would have candidates for nomination believe he was a couple years ago. CLINTON ITEMS. Rev. P. P. Taylor filled the pulpit in Bethel church last Sunday. Mrs. W. A. Richardson is entertaining her mother Mrs. Eliza Jackson of Greenville, Texas. Rev R. Holly stopped over in Clinton Saturday on his way home from the annual conference. Miss Myrtle Hampton is confined to her bome by illness. A large number attended the celebration at Davenport last week returning Sunday evening. A number of the members and friends of Bethel church called on Dr. Peterson, Monday night at the parsonage and left a number of tokens of good will suitable to satisfy the wants of the inner man. The literary society attendance was quite small last week, owing to the inclement weather prevailing. Dr. F. J. Peterson who was recently assigned Pastor of Bethel church of this city arrived Monday from Des Moines accompanied by his wife and infant daughter, upon their arrival they were taken in a cab to the home of William Henderson, where a most delightful dinner had been prepared by Meedames William Henderson and A. A. Bush in the early evening, they repaired to the parsonage where they will be at home to their friends in a few days as soon as they become settled. Clinton welcomes the Dr. and his estimable wife.

Mr. Leonard Lewis is proving himself to be quite a musician, especially a piano player. We expect great things from him in the future.

We 'rust he will be sent back again, as he has won the hearts of the people as an upright man. There will be a day for rejoicing as the people will make preparations for a grand jubilee in the near future. Those who promised to pay their subscriptions this month please bear in mind the agent will call Saturday. of m r e c e r k e. No.15. Victoria's Eyeslight Poem The London Chronicle states that Queen Victoria's eyesight is becoming a matter of grave concern to those about her. Even the blue spectacles, with which Dublin and London are alike familiar, are failing of their old effect. All dispatches and all letters, except the most private, are read to her majesty, who now writes little more than her signature with her own hand. A famous foreign eye doctor has been lately consulted, but without any encouraging result. Not All Ring Devotees. While the Queensberry family is generally associated with prize fighting and personal eccentricities, there are members of it who have achieved distinction in other lines. One is the Hon. John Douglas, C. M. G., who has just published in Brisbane an interesting history of Thursday Island, the sentry guarding the northern approach to Australia, where he has been government resident for the last 15 years. New Material in Paper-Making. It has been demonstrated that paper can be manufactured in the south at a handsome profit—the mill at Pensacola, Fla., which has been in successful operation for some months, proves the fact beyond question. This mill is using pitch pine for pulp-making. Recent experiments have shown the availability of wild cane, which grows in vast quantities throughout the southern states, for this purpose. A Queer Advertisement. In an English contemporary is the following advertisement of a shooting school: "Forty acres in extent. Gun fitting a specialty. Instructions in the art of shooting. Patent try guns and targets. Most realistic coverts. Practice given at driven birds, high pheasants, etc. Any number of sportsmen can be accommodated. Experienced gun fitters and instructors always in attendance." Seven Pines. On May 31, 1862, a severe but indecisive battle was fought between the union and confederate forces, under the command of Gen. McClellan and Gen. Johnson respectively, in a locality a few miles from Richmond, Va., on the Williamsburg road. Seven large pines were located there, and the locality derived its name from the pines. The Slumbok Described The sjambok, which is frequently mentioned in dispatches from South Africa, is a long whip, made from rhinoceros hide, and polished till it looks almost like amber. It is very tough and durable, and is used by the Boers upon animals and natives, and also for the chastisement of criminals. The crack of the sjambok sounds like a pistol shot. Selting American Frogs Abroad: Selling American Frogs Abroad. One man connected with the Philadelphia zoo has crossed the Atlantic fifty times in charge of animals. He has sold many huge American frogs at $2.50 each to owners of German estates to be used for "decorative purposes" in the ponds and lakes. The basso profundo of our bullfrogs is highly valued abroad. Widows Do Not Remarry In China it is the rule of good society that widows do not remarry. They are not forbidden to do so, but they are thought more highly of if they don't. In order to encourage them the government, when they have passed the age of 50, and have not remained, confers on them a tablet containing a eulogy of their virtues. Raising the Hat an Ancient Salutation When a knight of old entered a company of ladies he removed his helmet to indicate that he considered himself among friends, and that there was no need to protect himself. This practice has survived in the custom of raising the hat when saluting a lady.—June Ladies' Home Journal. Prince Rupert's Dislikes. Prince Rupert, the heir to the throne of Bavaria, dislikes the attentions of the White Rose league of England, which, because it recognizes the claims of the Stuarts to the British throne, persists, much to his disgust, in styling him "the rightful prince of Wales." Britain's New Halfpenny Stamp. Great Britain has issued a new halfpenny stamp, green in color; a new is bi-colored postage and revenue stamp will also be issued about mid-summer, when the stock of the present single colored green stamp will be exhausted.

Conger.and Miss Mary Pieree, wife and niece of the American min- ister to China, Edwin H. Conger, of Des Moines, and who, with him, went through the entire siege at Peking, which began early in June and lasted for two months, The letters are rather in the form of diaries, telling. the heart rending story of those terri- ble days as the events of it happened. ‘The wonderful bravery, courage, and self-sacrifice of the women maintains the standard by which they have al ways been measured by thelr friends, and. is exceedingly gratifying. The stories they tell are those of partici- pants to the terible strife, ‘the horrl- Ie anxiety, the hopelessness and des peration of a situation almost unbeor- Eble, the dread of fate worse than death for savages, not men, besieged. Yet cheerfulness and resignation per: vades these historical letters, for, had panic once been permitted ‘to show Hs head, hope would have entirels vanished. The besieged were reduced to the necessity of eating horse flesh, but the terrors of an ordinary siege which civilized warfare suggests are are nothing compared with the ter- rors of a siege, in which savages, bar- barians, pagans are assaulting Chris- tions. FIRE FOLLOWED ROBDERY. Work of Incondiaries ina Grocery ‘sacs as Gebblbesh. Oskaloosa, Sept. 25.—An incendinty fire was discovered burning fiercely in the Ed Nugent building about 4 o'clock a, m. Hoseman Sam Jones of the fire department entered the build: ing with chemical tanks and controll- ed the fire. He found that the fire had been started from a box of kind- ling, shavings and excelsior that had been saturated with oil. ‘The flaming box was carried to the street, where it continued to burn, As the fire company was leaving the building it was discovered fire was also burn- ing in another part of the building and had been started in a large roll of paper. Mr. Nugent, owner of the Duilding was quite badly burned in getting the paper out of the corner Where it was blazing. ‘The building was occupied as a grocery store by J. 8, Farr. He had left the store about 10 o'clock and had gone to his father's home in the country. He returned to find the money drawer had been. rifled and that money to the amount of $26.01 was missing. BUILDING A NEW ROAD Big Force at Work on the Milwaukee becuse Ga Wacko Foster, Sept. 28.—Donald Jeffrey, an extensive contractor, who has been working for some time at Del- mar and Oxford Junction, has arrived here with twelve car loads of horses, scrapers, tents, etc., preparatory “¢ commencing work on the new ‘rail- road that is to be built from Fos- ter to Hilton, a distance of about four miles. The road is to be built by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul fsilrond company. It is to run up Soap creek most of the way. No very heavy grading will be necessary, consequently they expect to finish the grading in sixty days. It is of great importance to Foster as well as the Foster Coal company, as it joins the G, M. & St. P, with the Wabash and Towa Central MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE. rank Sigler, » Fremont County Farm ‘Hand, Found Guilty. Sidney, Sept. 27.—In the case of frank Sigler, on trial for murder in the second degree, or manslaughter, the jury returned a verdiet of guilty. Sigier was accused of the murder of William Schultz on the premises of J. W. Shuniek a few weeks ago. ‘The grand jury indicted him for murder in the first degree, but the state tried him for manslaughter... ‘The strong- est ground of the defense was insan- ity. The limit of the sentence is eight years in the penitentiary, and it'is probable that the prisoner will receive the limit. ‘ethane ta tnluate Mackeetant: Clarinda, Sept. 26.—One of the most baffling things that has occurred here for some time was the disap- pearance of Miss Minnie, the 16-yeer- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Harrington of this city. The young lady has been missing for about a week, and although her relatives and friends have made a thorough search for her, yet no trace has been found. Her parents are well known and re- spected, and so far as they know there is no reason for the young lady's dis- appearance, She was at first thought to be at the home of a friend, but later developments proved that she was not there. Later it was thought she had gone to visit relatives at Coin, but. this supposition was. also wrong. No extra clothing is missing, and $10 from her savings are gone. Some of her relatives almost fear that she may not be living, and all are in a frenzy of grief. The young lady was rather good looking, « popu- lar girl, somewhat headstrong, used to having her own way, light hearted and full of life. An Editor Touched.

The forecasts of the notes made in the press appear to have becn accurate, Tor, although nowhere In the text is Feference made to the withdrawal of United States troops from China, the offtial: statement issued by the navy department in advance of publication Of the notes bears out the prediction that. the government finally has de- cided upon such a material ‘reduction of its military force as will amount to withdrawal of the trmy as an offensive instrument. ‘This statement from the navy department, moreover, is full of siguificance of a purpose on the part of the government to see to it that if there is any subsequence attempt at, territorial aggression on the part of any of the powers who ‘already have declared themselves as willing to abide by the expressed de- termination of the United States to refrain from seizing upon’ Chinese territory, then the United States 4s to lose no right or privilege which it now enjoys by such action. + The notes to the powers are brief. ‘Phe Russian and Chinese answers, being in the form of diplomatic memoranda, are short to a degree arely seen in diplomatic exchange, But in both eases being completely re- sponsive and favorable to the in- ‘quiries, they will escape criticism on that séore. The answer to the Ger- man note is carefully prepared so as to soften the unqualified refusal of the United States government to make the punishment of the Chinese ringleaderg a condition precedent to negotations. Also it is noted that in the expression of a purpose to insist upon the ultimate and proper pun- jshment of these offenders, the state department goes far beyond the Ger- man declaration on the subject. ‘The announcement that the department intends immediately to begin, through Mr. Conger, conferences with Ching and Li Hung Chang, although dis- tinetly marking the fact that these are only preliminary to final nego- tations, will have the effect to force the other powers to an immedinte determination of their policies in ‘Shin taatine” STANDS BY UNITED STATES.

It is impossible to doubt that the responsible authors are im- perial authorities.” ‘The Globe says: “The refusal must have mischievous effect at Peking.

Jaben Hutchinson received our hero with a face as dark as a thundercloud, but it seemed that, when he heard Alan's news, he considered it important enough to warrant his intrusion on his privacy. It appeared to Alan that, of whatever importance it was to the firm, it was of still greater to Hutchinson, which confirmed him in his suspicions that he had private dealings which had nothing to do with the firm. brave and bonny that any woman would have loved to have been courteed by him. "Very well," she said, "Mr Mackenzie, you have been warned, and so have I." "Tell me your name," he said. "My name? It is a common enough one here—it is Veronica." "It is a very beautiful one," he said. And then he took off his cap and bade her good night; and his dreams that night were full of moonlight and a dark-eyed, slim girt, and Alan talked the matter over, and Jutchinson was impressed with his clear-headedness and the concise way he had of stating things. Little by little he looked upon Alan with a more favorable eye, and in the end invited him to stay and dine. Although Alan did not want to prolong his interview with the brute, he accepted the invitation, thinking that he would then see the girl who had taken his fancy before. Herein he was mistaken. To all intents and purposes it was a bachelor establishment, and the Spaniard who came in to smoke a cigar with Jutchinson after dinner evidentially came without expecting to see any ladies. Alan rode home. It was a perfect moonlight night, and the road was as clear as if it had been day. Hutchinson had told him before he left that he should be glad to see him again, and the young man was revolving in his mind how he could accept the invitation, and yet not play the part of traitor to his host. He felt sure that Hutchinson was not acting square by the firm; he also felt sure that he would try and gain him over to his side. Indicted him to beaware of the man; but, ca the other hand, there was the girl, who had touched the young man's heart by her loneliness and her unhappiness and by her beauty. If he did not go back to La Paz all chance of seeing the girl again was at arrest, and she had made such an impression upon his rather susceptible heart that he was willing to chance many things, but not the risk of never seeing her again. He was riding along in the moonlight; he was young, and adventurous blood was in his veins. The brilliant beauty of the night, the strong scent of the flowers, all intoxicated him. Suddenly a white figure fitted before him. He reined in his horse sharply, feeling sure that this was the girl he was thinking of, and so it proved. He looked cold moonlight her face looked white, and the shadows round her eyes too. She had a soft, cooling voice. In thought she was more beautiful than he had even at first imagined her to be. "I have watched for you," she said softly. There was not a trace of coquetry in her voice and she was simply stating a fact. "You were so long that I grew anxious." He could see that she wanted to say something, and yet was half afraid. She looked round nervously. "No one is about," he said, reassuringly. "No." She still hesitated and still looked around her. "M. Mackenzie," she said at last desperately, "do not think ill of me. I do not want to say what I am going to say, and I know child ought to reverence her father, but—" She gave a long, shddering sigh. "I understand," he said, quickly. "No, you do not!" she answered quickly. "It is not because he has struck me—he did it before, and I never minded it until today. You see, he still thinks I am a child, but I am afraid for you. Oh, I must warn you! Do not come here again!" "Why not?" he asked. "I am not a child to be told to do a thing without a reason." "There was a young English clerk who used to come out here to see my father," she said, very slowly, "and after six months he had embezzled me money or something, and in the end he could not face the inquiry; he—" She stopped; he could see the horror in her face. "What did he do?" asked Alan, in his quiet, manly voice. "He committed suicide," said the girl. "But I am not of that sort," said Alan. "I have my eyes open, and never, do anything without a reason." "There have been men—young men—coming backwards and forwards to the house, and there always has been one end to it all, and I cannot bear it. My father ruins them sooner or later. As soon as they know too much something happens." "What do you want me to do then?" asked Alan. "Don't come back here," she begged. "I cannot promise that," he said quietly. And in the moonlight he looked into her dark eyes. "Why not!" she asked, but she lowered her lids. "Because," he said boldly, "it will be my only chance of seeing you again." There was a little silence and then the girl spoke. "But if it should prove dangerous to you I should never forgive myself." Then Alan laughed a good, frank laugh. "The one thing that will be dangerous to me is you," he said, "and I am going to court that danger." She laughed too. Alex looked so She laughed, too. Alan looked so brave and bonny that any woman would have loved to have been courted by him. "Very well," she said, "Mr. Mackenzie, you have been warned, and so have I." "Tell me your name," he said. "My name? It is a common enough one here—it is Veronica." "It is a very beautiful one," he said. And then he took off his cap and bade her good night; and his dreams that night were full of moonlight and a dark-eyed, slim girl, and all the sort of thing that a young man dreams about when for the first time he enters upon the realms of romance. He remembered the financial crisis only the next morning, when he saw Hutchinson again. He told Dempster of his interview; but here he found himself in a difficulty. It was difficult to talk to his chief of the man he mistrusted, and yet to know that he was valuable to the firm and knew many of its secrets. He could not tell Dempster that what he suspected was that Hutchinson had secret dealings with the government, and that he mostly knew of events before they became public property, and so could buy and sell to greater advantage, using the capital of the firm for his own purpose, for that was what Alan suspected. Richard Dempster saw that the young man was keeping something back, although of course he could not guess what it was. "Look here, Mackenzie," he said. "I don't want to force your confidence. I can see you have something on your mind; but I can trust your father's son sufficiently to know that if it ought to be brought to my notice you would not hesitate to do so." "The fact is, sir," said Alan, "that I have as yet nothing tangible to lay before you; but that, not having any proof at all, it is rather difficult to come to you and to say, 'Do you trust this man or that man.'" "Quite right," said Dempster. And then they began talking of something else, and had a good long consultation on the present state of affairs. It was only when he was leaving that his chief said to him: "By the way, did you have any difficulty in finding Hutchinson's little cottage. He tells me that it is some way out; he prefers the country." Alan looked at Dempster to see if he were speaking jestingly; but no, his words were evidently uttered in perfect good faith. He believed in Hutchinson's cottage. "I had no difficulty, sir," he replied. "Any one could tell you it is not a cottage, but a fine, large place." "Oh," said Dempster, laughing, "then that is Hutchinson's modesty, is it? I must chaff him about it!" "I hope you won't, sir!" said Alan quickly. "Please say nothing about it!" Dempster looked at the young man curiously. "I will say nothing if you do not wish it; but I own that your manner makes me strangely uneasy." "I want it to do that," said Alan, and left him. Matters, however, grew very disturbed, and Dempster had reason to believe that the government was very unstable. Alan Mackenzie was sent backwards and forwards to La Paz. It began to be very exciting, for every day he seemed to see more clearly that Hutchinson was playing a double game. He had Dempster's confidence. Alan knew that, among other things the firm was importing, there were firearms, and he felt almost sure that Hutchinson was in league with some malcontents, and that these arms were meant for them. Life grew very interesting, and every day seemed big with chances; and every evening that he made his way to La Paz he found Veronica awaiting him. First of all she came to warn him, then she came because she feared him, and lastly she came because she loved him. And he—he felt that he loved her, too. It was not the same tender, all-enduring affection that he would have given to an English girl, not the love that desires nothing except to be loved in the same absorbing way; but it was more the tender, protective love that a man gives to one weaker than himself. Veronica was not his equal in mental power he knew. She had had very little education, and could hardly do more than read and write. She sang in a sweet, full voice without any art, because singing came natural to her, and she played a guitar by ear; but she had no accomplishments nor any learning. She was a pure, innocent, beautiful child, who wanted to be loved and cherished. Her father had been cruel to her, and she feared him. Alan had been good to her, and she loved him passionately, and would have gone through fire and water to serve him. And so weeks went by, and at last there came a day when the proofs of Hutchinson's double dealing were in Alan's hands. He must go with them to Dempster or the rule of the firm might ensue. If by any chance the existing government learned that the respected English firm was providing the insurgents with firearms there would be an end to the house that Richard Dempster had built up with so much care. But then there was Veronica. Alan knew that she must participate in her father's ruin. The thought of the poor, gentle girl, made to suffer by her father, without a soul to help her, was too much for the young man. He loved her quite sufficiently to want to shield her from any harm. There was only one thing to do: He must tell Dempster of Hutchinson's treachery, and he must persuade Veronica to become his wife secretly. It must be secretly, for no one knew either of Veronica or of anything else. And so, went to his chief. Richard Dempster looked very grave indeed at the news. The two men sat up all night in consultation. Hutchinson was to be dismissed at once; there was nothing else for it. And then Alan made a request. "Will you send me to Santa Rita at once?" he said, "I don't care to stop on here after I have been the means of getting rid of Hutchinson; I don't want to benefit by his fall." "I shall miss you, my lad," said Dempster. "I had hoped you would have settled among us; but I suppose you have other plans." He looked at Alan, who reddened. The young man had known for some time that even his chief's daughter would not have denied him; but then he thought of his lovely, dark-haired Veronica, who had no one but himself. No, he had ruined her father, she must be his care—and a very sweet care, too! Perhaps not the ideal, the perfect marriage he had dreamed of in other days, when soul goes out to soul, and man and woman have but one idea, one thought; but a marriage born of love and respect, a protective, not a passionate love, although Veronica was beautiful enough to cause many a man's heart to beat quickly. The very evening he had his talk with his chief he rode out to La Paz, but this time not to see Hutchinson. Veronica would be in the avenue, and Veronica would be wooed to give her consent; the two had but a short time. "You will trust me, Veronica?" he asked. "To the death," said the girl; "but Alan, I am afraid if he hears of your part in his ruin he will kill you sooner or later." "He will hear of it," said Alan gravely. "I am not the man to let another do my dirty work. And will you wait for me at Santa Rosa, my darling? I will make all necessary arrangements, and will be married the day I come." And so matters were arranged, and Veronica promised; and this was the end of Alan Mackenzie's life in Rio. (To be continued.) Parlor Magic. A feast which any one can perform with little or no practice is that of placing fourteen matches upon a table and lifting them all up upon one of the matches. This is how it is done: Pick out one match—the one that has the fastest surface—and then place six of the other matches about one-fourth each across the first one, each of the six being parallel to each other and the thickness of a match distant from each other. Next place six other matches one-fourth each across the first match, but from the other side, all parallel and in the spaces left by the arrangement of the first six matches. Now take the fourteenth match, lay it over the twelve matches where they intersect, and by carefully lifting match No. 1 and holding match No. 14 in place you will accomplish without difficulty the feat—Adelaide Herrmann in the June Woman's Home Companion. Fabulous Price for Letter. One thousand pounds was the sum paid by the late Bernard Quarich for an autograph letter, of Columbus, which he afterwards exhibited at the World's Fair in Chicago. A wealthy collector of autographs in Chicago in 1883 offered through the American Press to pay $100,000 for a genuine autograph letter of Shakespeare. Only seven are known to be in existence, and as to three doubts have been expressed as to their gonuliness. Two letters of Mary Queen of Scots, written just before her execution, are said to have cost an English collector $20,000. The one letter existing in Titian's handwriting was sold for $800, and a letter of Raphael's for $300. The one letter written by Cornille which was ever sold was purchased by Alfred Morrison for $800. Travelers' Annoyances A clever observer says of her experiences in a drawing-room car: "There sit directly behind you those who wash their family linen for the benefit of the traveling public, he accusing her of all sorts of irregularities with other men, whom he judges by himself, and she defying him to name just one man, and finally going into hysterics. Then there is the woman in front of you all scented up with white rose, and beside her is the man who pares and cleans his nails with a pocked knife and uses the same blade to pick his teeth. Then there is the sweet little child who snaps the window catch or thumps the window pane, which seems to be muste to the feud mother's ears."—New York Press. Ireland Loves Population The population of Ireland still appears to be on the decline. The quarterly return of the registrar-general up to the last day of March shows a decrease of 10,185, of whom 5,302 was debited to emigration. The estimated population of Ireland is now 4,564,000, or little more than half what it was in 1841, when it stood at 8,175,000. There is a limit at which forbearance ceases to be a virtue—Burke. A Unique Tower Bell GEN. OLIVIER, RECENTLY CAP-TURED BY THE BRITISH. It Was He Who Led Gatacre Into the Trap at Stormberg—Tribute Pald to Him by One of the Representative Men of the South African Republic. Gen. Olivier, who was recently captured by the British in the fighting at Winburg, in the Orange Free State, was one of the most active of the Boer generals in the field, and as a guerrilla leader ranked next to Gen. De Wet. It was Olivier who led Gen. Gatacre into the trap at Stormberg, which proved disastrous to the British, costing them 600 casualties. In discussing M. GEN. OLIVIER. that action a Boer leader said to a correspondent: Our Gen. Olivierv is one of the 'slimmen men in Africa. You don't know Olivierv. You Britishers were to talk to him you would rock him up as a rather stupid sort of fellow. He knows how to know nothing—when it suits him. He can make his face as expressionless as the back wall of a cemetery on a wet day, even when he is just boiling with excitement inside. You may think that it is an easy trick, but just you try it some day when some one springs a big surprise on you; perhaps you won't find it so easy as it may appear. Olivierv knew all about Gen. Gatacro. He had studied him. "We beat you Britishers that day, beat you pretty badly, too, but the men who think Gatacre isn't a general on that account don't know the country, nor know Olivier, don't know the Boers and don't know what quick firing riffs can do in such circumstances. If either Kitchener or Roberts had been in Gen. When the first settlement was made on Commencement Bay, Puget Sound, it was simply a lumber camp and trading post. After the Northern Pacific railroad was completed to Commencement Bay a city was built on the high ground above the lumber camp southward, and that is the handsome city of Tacoma, Wash. The ancient lumber camp is now that part of Tacoma which is called "Old Town" locally. Early in the history of Old Town an Episcopal clergyman, now Bishop Morris of Oregon, built a little wooden church in the place alongside of a huge fir tree that had been broken off about 40 feet from the ground. It was first the intention to build the church behind the tree and cut a doorway through the trunk, thus making the tree the entrance as well as the bell tower, but this plan was abandoned. A belfry tipped with a cross was built upon the top of the tree, a bell placed therein, and swung. To this day the ivy-elad fir is the bell tower of the church. A ladder runs from the roof of the church to the belfry, and this is used as the approach to the bell whenever it becomes necessary to visit it for any purpose. The ivy that clings to the tree has crawled under the roof and into the WOMAN DID BAPTIZING. *sale Converts Took It, but the Women Backed Out. At Cramer hill, in New Jersey, hundreds attended a "baptism" recently. The immersing was done by a woman—Mrs. Lottie Miller. She marched bravely down to the shore, followed by the candidates. These were by no means the least interesting features of the baptism. They were arrayed in the cast-off black skirts of their wives or sisters, which anything but facilitated their movements through the mud. Their legs became unaccountably entangled in the voluminous folds of these garments, and before midstream was reached the converte were begrimed by their many troubles. After a final exhortation Sister Miller started with her little flock on the road to Zion. Among those to be immersed was Mrs. Miller's little son, a chap of about 9 years. The party had gone only half way in the mire when the woman's maternal instincts rose above her religious ones, and without waiting to the deep water she then and there "sprinkled" the head of her son, rather than subject him to the dangers of the stream. By this time rowboats, steamboats and Gatacre's place that day we Boars fancy it would not have made a great deal of difference." QUEER CUBAN FANCIES. Superstitions That Have Obtained & Strong Hold on the People. A belief that has a strong hold on a certain class of people in Cuba is that certain diseases can be cured by eating dirt, and so when one of these diseases manifests itself the believer does not consult a physician, but instead gathers up a handful of dirt and eats it. If any relief is obtained it must be the result of faith cure. Which the patient is unconsciously trying. Why all kinds of germs are not taken in with the dirt is a mystery—possibly they are. The moonlight seems particularly objectionable and strangers are warned not to go out in it with uncovered head, and not to go out in it at all if it can be avoided; it is thought that this light brings many evil effects, and not under any circumstances will a Cuban sleep in its rays—he thinks that, among other things, it will draw his mouth to one side of his face. To ward off sickness of various kinds there is little silver or tin images to wear suspended about the neck as a kind of charm, images of the same kind are offered in the churches as thanksgiving or prayer, and so we find near the altars of certain churches cases in which are hundreds of these little trinkets, hands, feet, arms and bables. The booting of an owl is taken as a very bad sign. The superstitious Cuban kills any creature of this kind which makes weird sounds near his home. This is supposed to break the spell, and it is not then inevitable that a member of the family shall meet death in the near future. Butterflies also are looked upon as omens. The Cuban women are great believers in the efficacy of various herbs in sickness and have a remedy for almost every alliment. American physicians find that they have much more knowledge in this line than the women of our own country, and more knowledge of sickness in general. In many homes, even the poorest, there is a thermometer, and if anyone is ill his temperature is taken before the physician arrives. Immigration to Argentine. Immigration to the Argentine Republic is increasing. Official statistics for 1899 show the number of immigrants from other than South American countries to have been 84,442, an increase over the preceding year of 44,045. Late King's Foster Brother- A foster brother of the late King Humbert, M. Leon Gorinflot, is mayor of the Commune of Maubert-Fontaine church, and forms delicate green traceries along the inner walls.

Thus the forest monarch now forms the oldest bell tower in America. other pleasure craft had assembled in the river, and everyone was ready for the dipping. In a stentorian voice, which could easily be heard on shore, Sister Miller read a solemn service. Then with the help of a deacon and an elder she immersed the candidates. They came up spluttering "Hallelujahs" and "the Song of the Saved" greeted them as they returned to shore. It was said that arrangements had been made to immerse ten women, but nine of them had backed out, and the tenth, being of dimensions that made Mrs. Miller look like a dwarf, had decided to wait for a stronger arm. Sahara's Water Supply. The wells of Erg, in the Sahara desert, occupy the bottom of the depressions. As the surface of the ground in which they are excavated is covered with a thick layer of sand they have to be protected against the falling in of the latter. Their very narrow orifice is, therefore, hermetically closed by means of wide stones sealed through a mortar composed of sand and mud. Each caravan undoes the work in order to obtain water and then carefully seals the wells up again before departing. STORIETTES A veteran who was boasting of his prowess during the civil war was asked: "How many of the enemy did you kill, any way?" "How many did I kill?" How many did I kill?" repeated the veteran, slowly. "Well, I don't know exactly how many, but I killed as many of them as they did of me." One day, before the late Lord Russell was elevated to the bench, he was sitting in court, when another barrister, leaning across the benches during the hearing of a trial for bigamy, whispered: "Russell, what's the extreme penalty for bigamy?" "Two mothers-in-law," instantly replied Russell. W. S. Gilbert, meeting the editor of Punch one day, remarked as he was leaving him: "By the by, Burnard, I suppose the great number of funny sisters are sent into your office?" "Oh, yes," said Mr. Burnard, "thousands." "Then, my dear fellow, why don't you publish them?" replied Mr. Gilbert, as he put out his hand to my good-by. J. M. Barrie's story of how a tele-raph editor, receiving a dispatch that the Zulus had "taken umbrage," headed the news "Capture of Umbrage by the Zulus," has been paralleled by an editor in the west. Shortly after the anti-Semitic riots in Austria, a slight shock of earthquake and a cable dispatch put it tersely that there had been "seismic disturbances" near the capital. He headed the item, "Down with the Jews!" There is no such luxury as privacy to him whose name is heralded far and wide. Some, no doubt, enjoy the distinction, but the majority must detest the intrusion. Goethe once arrived at such a pitch of irasibility by reason of the prying curiosity of visitors that, when a tourist would not be denied, he descended from his study, lighted candle in hand, and without a word of greeting merely placed the candle on a table and sat still. In nowise daunted by the noise of the candle, and went round and round the great man, examining his physiognomy with deliberate scrutiny. Whereupon the poet broke into a laugh and ordered wine. And this persistent visitor, needless to remark, was an American. WHAT A MOGUL CAN DO. That was a remarkable demonstration of what a Mogul can do, that occurred on the New York Central the other day, when engine No. 948, one of the new Moguls, hauled out train No. 11, the Southwestern Limited, made up of two mail cars, five passenger coaches and nine Wagner cars, sixteen cars in all. The total weight of the train was 1,832,000 pounds, or 916 tons, and the length of the train, including the engine, was 1,212 feet, or nearly a quarter of a mile. This engine made the running time of the train between New York and Albany, 143 miles, in three hours and fifteen minutes. There is no railroad in the world which has a better roadbed, more skillful engineers, or better equipment, backed by loyal men always alert for the safety of their passengers, than the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad. What road can match its corps of men, from President Callaway down the long line of employees, to the humble and faithful trackmen who watch their sections of rails through the long hours of the night and day, in order to safeguard the lives of the travelers on trains whirling by their humble shanties, many of which nestle closely to the rails under their guardianship.-Editorial from the Albany Times-Union.

The queen sets upon the throne of home crowed and recoopered as none other can be is mother. Her enthronement is complete her reign univariable and the moral issues of her empire are eternal. Her children arise up and call her blessed. Rebellious at times the subject of her government may be she rules them with mawfulous patience winning tenderness and undying love. She so presents and exemplified divines, truth that it reproduces itself in the happiest development of childhood-character life. Her memory is sacred while she lives and become a perpetual inspiration, even when the bright flowers bloom above her sleeping dust. She is an incarnation of goodness to the child and hence her immense power. Scotland with her well known reverence for motherhood insists that "An ounce of mother is worth more than a pound of clergy." Napoleon cherished a high conception of a mother's power and believed that the mother's of the land could shape the destiny of his beloved France, hence he said in her sententious jaconic style. The great need of France is mother, the ancient orator bestows a fattening compliment upon the home of Roman mother when he said "The empire is the fireside" who can think of the influence that mother wield in the home and not be impressed with its for reaching results. What revolutions would take place in our families and communities if that strange, magnetic power were fully consecrated to the welfare of child and glory of God. Mohammed expressed a great truth when he said that "Paradise is at the feet of mother." There is one vision that never fades from soul and that is the vision of mother and of home. No man in all his weary wanderings ever goes by and the over shadowing arch of home. Let him stand in the surf beaten coast of the Atlantic or roam over Western urids and every dash of the wave and murmer of the breeze will whisper Home Sweet Home. Set him down and the glaciers of the North and even there thoughts of home to warm to be chilled by eternal frost will float in upon him, let him rove through the green warring graves and over the sunny slopes of the South and in the smile of the soft skies and in the kss of the balmy breeze home will live again. John-Randolph was once heard to say that only one thirg saved him from atheism all that was the tender remembrance of the home, whence a devout mother kneeling by his side, took his little hand in hers and taught him to say, "Our Father Who Art in Heaven." God hasten the time when our families everywhere shall catch the cry of childhood as it swells up over all the land like the voice of God's own sweet evangel calling home the home of enter the children's temple and crown its alter with best offerings of sympathy and care. Father and mothers let the home go with your children to Jesus let it g with them at every step, go cheer them in every struggle until from the very crest of the cold wave that bears them from you forever, they shout back their joy over a home on earth that helped them use it to a home in heaven.

H.C, Smith of the Cleveland Ga- zette had Ju a public speech referred to the flag of his country as s “dirty rag.” that gentleman stood on lils head aud tried to spit backward, and In his Iueld Intervals hurled several kinds of rdjectives st his enem!es and made nolee cnough with his pen and mouth Cor 16 men of bis size. Ordinarily a little thing Ike that would have been passed by tn silence, but It so happened that Mr, Smith was a caudidate for office, and If he did not succeed In giving the lie to his ac- ‘cusers and In proving that he {s an ar- ‘dent lover of Old Glory it was not his sault. Nobody with an ounce of brains paid any attention to the charge; no- ‘body caved a rap whether he bad abus- ed the flag or praised {t, for they well jRnew: that nothing that Mr. Smith or anybody else could say could detract ‘one lota from It, But Mr, Smith seem- od to be of opinion that the statement ‘evidently made In a spirit of rallery —was an attack ov bis patriotism, and ‘he seems to have thrown a {it three ‘times n day until the day cf his elee- tion to the legislature of Olio. Since then he has been vindicating himself in bis paper, and roasting every other fellow who has sald anything against the administration. What boots it if Mr. Fortune did eriticise President McKinley? Is he not now a good administration Repub- lican? Isn't he doing as much or more than Mr, Smith Is doing to secure the re-election of the president? Is Mr, Fortune a paramount Issue in this campalgn? He Is not a candidate for any office, big or little, but just a plain, aggressive Republican, with views which be Is vot afraid to ex- press, and he'd be a big fool if he didn’t change his opinions of men and things occasionally. If Mr. Smith ts going to set himself up as a censor of the political morals of his fellows and draw the deadly parallel om all Repub- llcans, he'll find lots of them who have said things equally as bad as he has sald about the president and the flag in the heat of passion and their excess of zeal, which they are now willing to forget In the Interest of par- ty harmony. Personal attacks on Indi yidual Republicans do uot show good judgment, wisdom or common sense Who cares what any man sald or dh ten months or ten years ago? “Wise men change often, fools never.” Th paramount questién Is, What does h say or believe now? The eternal nov is.worth a thousand yesterdays. Le Mr. Smith pull himself together any take aim at the common enemy—thi Democratic party. There is nothing t be gained in fighting Republicans. ‘The Hon. Join B. Stanehfield, th Democratic nominee for governor o New York, is sup-stancntatty licked His yotes-In the legislature against th labor Interests and his speeches In fa ! vor of expansion, a section of one o | which Is quoted in the New York Sut of Sept. 13, shows him to be one o those elastic and accommodatin; statesmen who are not averse to bein; ‘on both sides of any question. Ti speech of Feb, 17, 1809, wherein I indorses the policy of this administra tion in the Philippines, Porto Rico anc Cuba, is “a good enough Morgan” eleet the entire Republican state ticke this year and give it a few votes t spare. Manifestly Mr. Stanehfield is not (h kind of a Democrat who Is likely t rally around him the dyed in the woo brethren of bis political faith, for bi | views are decidedly out of harmon with theirs on the question of expan sion. Mr. Stancbficld'’s serviees may by needed after Nov.

It reads very smoothly iy spots and is pfnusibl enough in its way. But we canno' overlook the fact that It Is a huge Joke perpetrated with malign lutent. If a chain is no stronger than its weakest part, the Democratic party of New York and of the uation is n¢ stronger than the weax and corrup' branches of that party which now dis. ‘proposition. 26 (t be:talse in one thing, it la fair to assume that It is false In all things, ‘This ts an important point for colored voters to cansider. ‘And be thove jogging fends no more believed That palter with us in a double sense, That keep the Word of promise to ou car ‘And break 1 to our hope. Iu the discussion in the state senate of New York last winter on the bill In- troduced by Senator Blsberg to abol- ish separate schools in that state, a senutor remarked in the course of a speech to the Democratic leader, Sen- ator Grady, “But you have negroes In ‘Tammany Hall, seuator.” "Oh, yes,” replied the eloquent prvoreE of Bae- chus, sneeringly, “but we keep them In thelr places.” There ts no doubt about that. Not only does Tammany keep {ts négro followers In thelr places, but the entire Democratic aggregation throughout the country does so, and will continue to do so whenever It can get the upper hand. Another one of these Tammany senators (Muuzinger), with the smell of the emigrant ship still permeating bis garments, was heard by the writer to say while this bill was under consideration, “I don't want my children to go to the same school with coons.” These are the high caste Brahmans of the Democratic faith in the Empire State, In whose sin- cerity and honesty certain susceptible negroes have unlimited and unalterable falth, broad gatfged statesmen who “mucllate” English and swim in rum. They are the descendants of the Irish and Dutch emigrant paupers who were offered at public sale In New York and Philadelphia, in the early his- tory of the country, to the highest bid- ders, the INDENTED SERVANTS of the wealthy and aristocratle white men, for whose descendants these vermin In the Demoeratle party are now play- ing at lawmaking and statesmanship. Is It any wonder that they hate ne- grovs, that they have a low and brutal estimate of negro character and man- hood and a withering contempt for the virtue of negro women? ‘They do not forget thelr origin, the depths from whence they came, and when once they are possessed of the strength of a giant they use It like a giant, ‘The Tammany contingent In the New York legisinture ts composed of men whose Intellectual re-enforcement 1s not thelr most distinguishing ebarac- teristic. They are, with few honorable exceptions, keepers of low dives, pa- trons of the prize ring, owners of gan bling hells and proprietors of aude ville theaters, and Incidentally, states men (God save the mark). All of them regardless of their moral and: Intel lectual delinqueneles, regard them selves as superior to the most cultl vhted “coon.” ‘The colored man whi can consistently follow tn the wake o these lenders or vote to keep them “ed evidence” is more than one Kind of 1 fool and will deserve all the contemp! they can heap ou bin, Everybody knows former Governoi P.

The news from abroad going to show that Germany seems bent on military rather than diplomatic measures, has aroused the various officials here to the realization that bloody times may yet be in store for the allies in China. This nation has declared that it will hold the culprits who were guilty of the recent outrages against the legations to "strict accountability" for their crime. If China's mood remains sullen and intemperate, little can be expected from her government in the way of punishing these rogues herself. This nation, in the words of a high official, cannot retract what it has said on any one of these propositions, and if events bring about a crisis that means actual warfare, the United States must meet it as it did the first crisis in China. The fact that Germany is reported on good authority to be making ready to launch a broad military program in China indicates that the kaiser is intent on making good use of his eminent military representative in the flowery kingdom, Count von Waldersee. Gen. Chaffee sen in a dispatch this afternoon which indicates that by this time Li Hung Chang should be in Pekin, unless the Russians have held him back. Chaffee's dispatch follows: Dispatch from Chaffee. "Taku, Sept. 25.—Adjutant General, Washington, Sept. 21, No. 53.—Acknowledge your number 40. Leave for Tientsin this afternoon. Will be absent several days. Gen. Wilson remains here. Li Hung Chang at Tientsin. Understand starts here soon; have offered him escort, declined; country very quiet, good order in Pekin. Chaffee." The dispatch from Gen. Chaffee has no date, showing that it came from Pekin, but war department officials are satisfied that it was sent from the Chinese capital. BOXERS ARE HONORED. Prince Tuan Made Prime Minister of China Washington, D. C., Sept. 28.—It is stated in diplomatic quarters that definite and official information has been received that Prince Tuan has been appointed president of the privy council of China, instead of grand secretary, as was first reported, and that a number of other Chinese officials prominent in the recent uprising have been similarly honored. The Chinese minister has not been advised of Prince Tuan's appointment, but he expressed the belief, after calling at the state department, that the report probably was true. The position of president of the privy council is said to be one of foremost importance, similar to that of secretary of state, or premier. Starts Again for China. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 27.—The German horse transport Samoa, which returned to port, after sailing for China, owing to a slight damage to her machinery, has again started for the orient. Nearly 600 more horses for the kaiser's troops in China are soon to be loaded on the transport Nuremberg. The transport Flintshire has returned from Manila in ballast. The ship Cyrus W. Wakefield, recently purchased by the United States, has sailed for Puget Sound, where she will load coal for Manila. At the latter port she will be transferred into a coal bulk. More Churches Destroyed. New York, Sept. 27.—A dispatch to the Herald from Hongkong says: "A mob destroyed the Catholic church at Toksahang, a few miles from Canton, and afterward deserated the American Baptist mission graveyard yesterday. "Rowdies also destroyed the American Presbyterian church just outside Canton. "Feeling at Fatshan is intensifying." Chinese Routed by Rumlans. St. Petersburg, Sept. 27.—The war office announces that Gen. Sacharoff, the chief of the Russian general staff, captured Chu Lan Chen, near the Sungail river, Sept. 12, putting to flight 5,000 Chinese. The Russians sustained no casualties. (The Sungail river, Manchuria, flows north and northeast and joins the Amur river 135 miles southwest of the influx of the Osoosoro). Piracy Is Increasing. Hongkong, Sept. 27.—Advices from the West river report that piracy and brigandage are increasing, and it is considered probable that the river will relapse into its old state of insecurity during the winter unless active measures are taken. It is reported that villages near Kum-Chuk have been burned by brigands. FIGHTING IN ISLANDS. Troops Have Many Skirmishes with Native in Philippines. Manila, Sept. 28.—Skirmishes are increasing at many places in the province of Cavite. The seaport of Paranagua a few miles south of Manila, was attacked Monday night by the rebels and two Americans of the garrison were killed and five wounded. The troops quickly assumed the offensive. They located two bands of insurgents, numbering 400 men, and killed thirty-five, wounded fourteen, and captured twelve. Reports have been received from Samar to the effect that Capt. Golddecer, with a company of the Twenty-ninth infantry, embarked on a steamer and scoured the coast of the island. He found everything quiet. Most of the towns were deserted, but they were well intrenched. The inhabitants burned several towns and fled to the mountains on the approach of the Americans. As a steamer was ascending the Catubig river, the scene of a former disaster to nineteen Americans, it was attacked by Filipinos who were concealed in the overhanging hills. Their fire riddled the vessel with bullets, but none of the Americans aboard were hurt. Last night there was outpost firing at Paete, Pagsanjan, and Santa Cruz, in Laguna province. LATEST FROM CHINA All China Reported Affiances Berlin, Sept. 27.—Alarming news from China has reached the German government, but it will not be published, as Germany intends to use it during the conferences in Pekin. Field Marshal Couht von Waldersein has caned to Emperor William direct that he has found the general situation much more dangerous than he had expected, as it has grown worse during the last fortnight, and the consuls in central and southern China are expecting a general uprising. Advices from Dr. Mumm von Schwartzenstein, the German minister in China, are of a similar tenor. Rear Admiral von Bendemann has repeatedly cabled that the situation along the Yangtze Klang is very critical, and also expressing fears concerning the safety of Kiao Chou. DAILY MARKET REPORT. Says Indians Starve: St. Paul, Minn., Sept. 28.—A Winnipeg (Man.) special to the Dispatch says that G. F. Stevens, a Methodist missionary at Oxford house, in a letter dated Oxford House, Sept. 10, 1900, makes the following announcement: "During the late winter and early spring of this year between twenty and thirty Indians of the Sauteaux tribe at or near Andy lake and leading into the Island lake Hudson bay company post, died of starvation. Rabbits and deer have failed these people and although they eat even the bark of trees yet they are not always able to sustain life during the winters. Oxford House is in the district of Keewean and is situated about half way between Norway House and York factory. The department of interior is investigating." Kila Girl in the Woods Bellefonte, Pa., Sept. 28.—John Keenan, a woodman, shot and killed Annie Hobson, the pretty daughter of John Hobson of Gillington, this county. The two, accompanied by the girl's baby sister, had gone for a walk in the woods, and a half hour afterward Keenan carried the lifeless body of the girl back home. Keenan, who claims the shooting was accidental, is under arrest. Maulac on a Smokestack South Chicago, Ill., Sept. 28—Fired by a religious frenzy, Michael Folsak, a Polish laborer, climbed to the top of a 150-foot smokestack at the Illinois Steel works, just before dusk, and clung there muttering prayers and shouting hymns, preparatory to taking the leap which he fancied would land him in heaven. He was rescued by John Sonalsak, 8403 Ontario avenue, a fellow workman. Killed by Cars at Elgin. Elgin, Ill., Sept. 28—Edward Carlson, in stepping from one track to avoid a train on the Milwaukee road, stepped in front of another train and was instantly killed. Woolley in Minnesota. Fergus Falls, Minn., Sept. 28.—The Prohibition special during the day traveled from Crookston to Fergus Falls, where the evening rally was held, making a total of seven stops. Bryan at Nebraska City. Nebraska City, Neb., Sept. 28.—William J. Bryan spoke at the courthouse grounds in this city to a large audience. TROOPS WILL NOT BE GALLED Unless It Is Necessary, Says Gov. Stone. JEDDO DECISION IN DOUBT. Coroner's Jury Declares Stain Miner's Death Accident—Archbishop Seeks a Compromise—Latest News from Coal Fields. Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 28.—The request made by Sheriff Harvey for troops, although not refused, was not granted by Gov. Stone. The Sheriff and the state officials at Harrisburg, however, have an understanding between them, and if the necessity arises soldiers will be thrown into this region in short order. If this be done the first to arrive would probably be one of the commands now stationed at Shenandoah. The sheriff had a long talk with Adjutant General Stewart over the telephone, and they agreed that, in view of the calmness now prevailing throughout the Lehigh valley, it would be inadvisable to send an armed force here at this time. The sheriff gave out the following for the information of the citizens of this region: "The fact that I have called on the governor for help is true. I have since been in communication with him and also Gen. Gobin, who assures me that upon the slightest overt act by the unlawful assembling of men that he will have troops here within an hour, and also, assures me that they will stay until all the trouble is over." In speaking on the question of using firearms the sheriff said: "I am a better friend of the strikers than they think. I know they are fighting for what they think is right. I have given positive orders to my deputies that they must not do any shooting; that they must be calm and try to reason with the men when they see the strikers are about to commit a violation of the law." SYMPATHY STRIKE IN SCHUYLKILL Miners in That Region Said to Have No Grievance. Pottsville, Pa., Sept. 27.—The strike leaders are now turning their attention to the collieries south of Broad mountain. Many of the mines of the district are close to this city and it is these collieries that produced yesterday most of the coal mined in the Schuylkill regions. Naturally, therefore, this district becomes the center of operations against the mine owners. North of Broad mountain few miners were working. In the Mahanoy valley not a colliery is in operation. The miners who a day or two age expressed a desire to work are now hedging and say they are not at all in a hurry to go back to the mines. The pleadings and arguments of the strike leaders have had their effect. The fact is, the strike in the Schuylkill regions is one of sympathy pure and simple. The men have no grievances and Superintendent Veith of the Reading company said that not one of the company's 27,000 men had come to him or to any of the other officials of the company, previous to the strike, with a single grievance. ALL QUIET AT SHENANDOAIL Expected Order for Troops at Hazleton Is Not Received. Shenandoah, Pa., Sept. 27.—The expected order for troops to go to the Hazleton district had not been received by Gen. Gobin up to 8:30 o'clock in the morning. After receiving the information that Sheriff Harvey of Luzerne county had requested the governor to send troops, Gen. Gobin immediately made arrangements for transferring a portion of his command. A special train on the Lehigh Valley railroad was prepared and the station agent remained in touch with the general the greater part of the night. Gen. Gobin said that he had a portion of the infantry and battery C in readiness to move at a moment's notice. "I remained up nearly all night," said the general, "but received no information. Even those who were to furnish me with news of the situation failed to report." The condition in this region remain unchanged and everything is quiet and orderly. Strikers Engage in Battle. Scranton, Pa., Sept. 28.—A shooting affray occasioned by the strike occurred at Sibley, about six miles from Scranton. Three men were wounded and about twenty revolver shots were fired. The participants were foreigners and were mostly men who became members of the United Mineworkers two weeks ago. There had long been bad blood between these men and other foreigners who had been on strike for six months and several clashes had occurred. Early this morning the men got into a fight near Barberton. When the battle was over three men were down in the road, one, Nick Gentilicore, so badly wounded there is little hope for his recovery. One arrest has been made. Senator Hanna Reported Working. New York, Sept. 28.—Senator Hanna had a long conference with J. Pierpont Morgan, who is identified prominently with the railroads controlling the coal fields, about conditions in the Pennsylvania mining regions, and others interested in the Pennsylvania mining fields. It was currently reported during the afternoon that his mission had been successful and would soon bear fruit by producing an end to the miners' strike on a compromise basis. Mr. Hanna's visit, it was said, was for the purpose of proposing that the coal operators give the men a certain increase in wages and concede to them a certain decrease in the price of powder, and also make other concessions, not involving a recognition of the union. Death Declared Accidental. Shenandoch, Pa., Sept. 28.—The inquest in the case of John Choyenski, or Konitskie, the Polander killed last Friday during the attack by striking miners on the sheriff and deputies, was finished today. Deputy Coroner Gardin examined a number of witnesses, among them several deputies, who testified that the rioters used pistols. It was not in evidence that an order was given to the deputies to fire, nor could it be learned who fired the first shot. The jury rendered a verdict that Konitskie's death was caused by a stray bullet from a pistol in the hands of one of the sheriff's posse. Archbishop Seeks Compromise: Ardenham speeches Compete Hazleton, Pa., Sept. 28.—Archbishop Ryan will come to Hazleton in a day or two in another effort to end the anthracite strike, according to a report in circulation here. BOOSEVELT ATTACKED. Rioters Throw Stones at the Colonel in Colorado. Cripple Creek, Col., Sept. 28.—Gov. Roosevelt was mobbed at Victor and Independence, Col. Crowds at both places beat and stoned him. The governor arrived at Victor at 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the first trip. He was on the way to Cripple Creek, from which place he would have to return by way of Victor to reach the main line. When the train left Cripple Creek at 11 o'clock p. m. it was guarded by men armed with rifles, who were put on at the request of R. D. Redfern, who had heard that a night attack was being planned at Victor in revenge for the afternoon defeat. The governor was almost through his speech when a fellow stood up and velled: "How about the canned roast beef?" "I ate it," the governor answered, shaking his fist at the questioner. "But you didn't, and you never will. You will never come within five miles of a battle if you can help it." This raised a laugh at the tough's expense and nettled the gang. When the governor left the hall he walked between Curtis Guild, Jr., of Boston, and John Proctor Clark of New York. Sherman Bell, who was with Roosevelt in Cuba, and who now lives at Cripple Creek, gathered a band of ex-soldiers around him and marched behind. Lieutenant E. S. Tice of the United States Engineer Corps and three of his men marched ahead. The party had not proceeded far when a band of ruffians suddenly rushed toward the governor, striving to strike him with the banners they carried, which were fastened to 2x4 scantlings. Then the fight began. The rioters on the outskirts of the crowd threw stones, and those near Roosevelt and party, confident in their numbers, crowded around him and almed blows at his head. It was then that the men with the scantling struck the governor. The governor lunged forward and attempted to grapple with his assailant, but Holley, who was mounted on a big black horse, galloped upon the man and rode him down. The fellow regained his feet and attempted to strike the horseman, but Holley wrenched the scantling from his hands, and at that instant David Heaton planted a blow between the tough's eyes that put him out. Around and around the governor the crowd surged and fought, some engaging in single combat, others fighting in bunches of a dozen or two across the street, and down in the dust yelling, cursing, rolling on the ground, and all the time the little company of defenders around the governor was struggling toward the train. It was all over in less than a minute. The governor was on board, and a volley of eggs, lemons, and stone rattled against the car. The ruffians were flying down the slant, dust-coated shanty-lined street. Senator Wolcott was on the ground beside the car. There was also some trouble at Independence. Steal $1,000 in a Package Keokun, Ia., Sept. 28. The depot agent of the Adams Express company here was robbed of a $1,000 package consigned by a local bank to a business house at Salem, Ia. The treasure was supposed to have been put in the safe, but it was missing when the agent checked out. In many respects the case resembles the mysterious abstraction of the $25,000 package shipped by a Chicago bank to Burlington by the express company. Four Men Instantly Filled Edwardsville, Ill., Sept. 28.—Lightning struck a kiln at the Glen Carbon brick yards near here, demolishing the kiln and burying five men under tons of brick. Isaac Carlock, Charles Mather, Elmer Chamley and Thomas Hartbeck were killed instantly. Joseph Burchardt of this city was taken out alive, but is badly injured. Khat Sentenced to Death. Berlin, Sept. 28.—Bartholomew Kost, who was extradited from Chicago in October of last year on a charge of robbing and killing Mario Vodicka, a cook whom he had married, and throwing her body into the Elbe, has been sentenced to death at Bremen. Kentucky Jury Says He Must Die for Murder of Goeble. THE AUDIENCE IS SURPRISED. They Expected a Disagreement—Prizner Manifests No Concern—Political Complexion of the Jury—Verdict Was Unanimous. Frankfort, Ky., Sept. 27.—Jim Howard was convicted of the assassination of Gov. Goebel and the jury fixed the penalty at death. The jury retired at 9:10 and returned with its verdict at 9:43. The courtroom was filled with spectators, and many faces in the crowd were white with suppressed excitement as Foreman Crutcher passed the written verdict up to the clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read the verdict, which found the defendant guilty and fixed his punishment at death. Howard occupied a seat by his attorney. He did not display the least agitation and was apparently no more concerned than any other person in the courtroom. The verdict was a surprise, as the general public were led to believe that the jury was divided on the question of the guilt or innocence of the defendant, but it turns out that the difficulty in reaching a verdict was over the degree of punishment, some of the jurors favoring life imprisonment, while others stood out for the death penalty, and finally won their associates over. One of the jurors stated to the Associated Press that a number of ballots were taken, but the first ballot results in a unanimous vote in favor of a verdict of guilty. After that the ballots were as to the degree of punishment, and ten voted for the death penalty, while two voted for life imprisonment. This was while the jurors were in the juryroom yesterday afternoon. The first ballot today resulted in a verdict. The two jurors who had voted for life imprisonment gave in to the majority and voted for the death penalty. After the verdict had been rendered Howard was remanded to jail, where he was followed by his friend, John G. White, who seemed almost paralyzed. Howard's cheeks also blanched as he stood up to accompany the jailer back to his cell. The jury which tried the case was divided politically, nine Democrats, one Republican and two anti-Goebel Democrats. Husband Sava Sulcolde. Chicago, Sept. 27.—Mrs. Joseph O'Neill was found lying lifeless this morning by the police, who were called to 1359 Wabash avenue by the husband of the woman. A bullet had crashed into her brain through the right temple. She was scantily dressed and the revolver was lying by her side. Articles of all klinds were strewn about the room, as if a struggle had taken place. Bloodstains were discovered on O'Neill's skirtfront. They had quarreled and even come to blows, it is said, on previous occasions. O'Neill is locked up at the Harrison street police station to await investigation. Col. John P. Jackson Dead. San Francisco, Cal., Sept. 27—Col. John P. Jackson, collector of the port of San Francisco, is dead. He was born in Cleveland, O., March 7, 1833, and studied for the bar with Benjamin Harrison in the office of Bellamy Storer. In 1862 he served with the army of the Cumberland. He ran for governor of Kentucky on the Republican ticket and was a candidate for presidential elector on the Lincoln and Johnson ticket. He was appointed sub-treasurer of the United States at San Francisco by President Harrison, and collector by McKinley. Tolstol Is Excommunicated. Lausanne, Switzerland, Sept. 27.—A secret circular, addressed by Joannicius, the metropolitan of Kleff, to all the Russian archbishops, virtually excommunicating Tolstoi, the Russian novelist and social reformer, is published here. It declares that Tolstoi is an avowed enemy of the church and that therefore, unless he recants, the holy synod prohibits the celebration of all divine services and expiatory masses in the event of his death. Bodrianer Is Convisted Raton, N. M., Sept. 27 — Mendo Rodriguez was found guilty in the District Court here of murder in the second degree for killing Anna Maria Duran at Cimarron. Rodriguez, who was ill, conceived the idea that the old woman had bewitched him, and, thinking he would-recover if she were out of the way, he slipped into her house one night last April and split her head open with an ax. Earl Howe Dead in England. London, Sept. 27.—Earl Howe (Richard William Penn Curzon-Howe) is dead.

Decision Against Corrigan Cleveland, O., Sept. 28.-Judge Lamson of common pleas court handed down a decision in favor of John D. Rockefeller in the million-dollar suit brought against the latter by Capt. James Corrigan. In 1895 Corrigan placed 2,500 Standard oil trust certificates in Rockefeller's hands to secure a loan. Rockefeller held the stock as trustee and finally purchased it himself, placing the value at 167 per share. Corrigan afterward charged him with committing fraud. He alleged that Rockefeller, by reason of his position as trustee, had superior knowledge of the value of the stock and that the stock was worth 450 instead of 167 per share. The matter was submitted to arbitrators, who decided in favor of Rockefeller. Corrigan refused to accept their findings and took the case into court. Miles Ja Chosen Chief Washington, D. C.

How Successful Farmers Operate This Department of the Farm—A Few Hints as to the Care of Live Stock and Poultry. Dairy Schools of Ontario. During the winter of 1859-1900 three dairy schools, supported by the Ontario government, were conducted in the province—at Guelph, Strathroy and Kingston—all of them being under the direction of Dr. James Mills, President of the Ontario Agricultural college. The courses of instruction were largely the same in each case, although the Central school at Guelph had the benefit of a series of lectures from members of the college staff, and also the advantage of practically judging and handling dairy cows and studying dairy breeds. The courses pursued were practically as follows: In order to meet the growing demand for good butter makers to take charge of factories during the winter months and early spring, each dairy school was open from December 4 to 22. A practical and thorough training was given in the running of cream separators of different makes, the pasteurization of whole milk and cream, care and ripening of pasteurized and raw cream, use of the acid test for cream, running of box churns, the combined churn and worker and the Mason worker, the preparation of butter for local and export markets, and other of a practical character; also in testing the milk with the Babcock tester and lactometer, in the use of the oil test churn, in composite sampling, and in the making up of factory accounts, so that the students might have a thorough knowledge of how to run a creamy properly. There were no examinations and no certificates given in this special course. There were two factory courses, one of three weeks and another of six weeks' duration. These courses provide theoretical and practical instruction in cheese-making and the curing of cheese, butter-making (both separator and cream gathering plans) and preparation of butter for market, milk testing with the Babcock tester and lactometer, and oil-test churn, which is so much used in cream gathering creameries; pasteurizing both whole milk and cream. They also include fermentation tests, the use of starters, dairy bacteriology, agriculture in relation to dairying, and factory records and accounts, etc. Discussions on practical dairy toques, led by one of the instructors, was held four afternoons in each week. These discussions lasted for one hour and were of much value to both students and instructors. Experts were brought to the schools from time to time to give lessons in the judging of cheese and butter. Special instructions were also given on the care and running of boilers and engines by a competent instructor. The service in pipe-fitting, repainting, valves, etc. While the fact is recognized that the manufacture of cheese and butter must be confined largely to the co-operative or factory system in order to attain the highest success, it is also a fact that a large quantity of butter and some cheese are made, and will continue to be made, in farm dairies. To enable the farmers to produce a finer quality of butter and cheese, and thereby receive a better price, a home dairy course was carried on in two of the schools. A competent lady instructor was seated in each case, and the methods followed, and the apparatus and instruments used were inexpensive, and such as have been found most suitable for use in farm dairies. Students for this course were allowed to enter any time after January 4 and remain as long as they wished. Gape Disease of Yunnan: Poultry. Prof. H. Garman, Entomologist and Botanist of the Kentucky Experiment Station, in bulletin 70 of that statistic, save: Young chickens are very much troubled in Kentucky with gueses. The disease occurs throughout the state, but is not uniform in its occurrence, being destructive on one farm, while farms adjoining are free free r. On the Experiment Farm at Lexington the disease rarely makes its appearance, while on a place just across a pike the majority of the chicks hatched are some seasons destroyed by it. At my own place again; a mile away, the trouble is very annoying. It appears that once it becomes established on land it maintains itself there and thus renders it ill suited to the raising of chickens. The immediate cause of the trouble is of course the presence of the well-known gape worm (Syngymnus trachealis) in the trachea or windpipe. These worms obstruct the passage of air to and from the lungs and thus occasion the characteristic gasping movements of the suffering chicks. The symptoms and general nature of the trouble are so well known that further reference to them may be dispensed with. Common Romedies.—The commonly recommended practice of introducing into the trachea a partly stripped feather, or a bluegrass top, and by a twisting motion disclosing and removing the worms does not seem to mo after considerable experience with the diseased fowls to be practicable for very young chicks. The trachea is so small and so easily injured that it is impossible to dislodge and remove all of the worms by such means. With the greatest care I have never been able to give affected chicks more than temporary relief in this way. It has been my experience, however, that chicks generally recover without treatment when they are attacked after they are half grown, and hence fowls that might from their size be treated successfully with a feather do not require treatment of any sort. It is the very young chicks that suffer most, and the only remedial treatment in their case that seems to me to be successful is rubbing the neck from time to time with lard or vaseline thoroughly mixed with a little turpentine (3 parts of the lard or vaseline to 1 part of turpentine). This treatment should begin before the disease makes its appearance. It will not help a chick in the last stages of the disease. Pure turpentine will very quickly kill a chick when rubbed on the neck over the trachea, a fact which I have several times demonstrated on badly affected individuals. Since my observations on the disease were made I have read a valuable article on gapes and gape worms, written by the French naturalist Meginn. He asserts that the use of pounded garlic with the usual food has been made to completely eradicate the disease among pheasants in Europe. He recommends the use of one garlic bulb to ten pheasants each day, and the same proportion would in all probability be sufficient in the case of the common chicken. He supplements this treatment with special care in the matter of drinking water, using only pure water and changing it several times a day. Poultry Briefs Without doubt food flavors eggs, but the general market has never found it out. With the market a fresh egg is a fresh egg and its freshness is its only standard of relative value. Yet the egg from good wholesome food is far superior to the egg made of all kinds of swill. When the public awakes to this fact there will be an improvement in the quality of eggs, and not before that time. --- The enthusiastic poultryman has it in his power to produce a strain of egg-producers in almost any breed. Some of the breeds that have the best reputation for egg production, such as the Leghorns, Hamburgs and Miorcas, have never been as popular with the great mass of farmers as have the Plymouth Rocks, Wyandothes and Brahmas. In these latter breeds are now found strains of egg producers that are almost the equals of some of the distinctively egg-producing breeds. But this has been brought about only by experimentators, and with poultry the development of strains is slow and rather difficult, owing to the fact that it is small business recording the work of each individual hen for a year or two. --- A practical poultry keeper says of the Toulouse geese that they need little water except for drinking. As foragers they are excellent and make a good living in the wheat stubble. Some object to them in the pastures in early spring, as they feed very close and pull up many of the stalks of grass by the roots. This of course is detrimental to the pasture that cannot spare any stalks of grass. There is a difference of opinion as to whether or not cattle will graze in pastures that have been fed over by geese. The opinion prevails to some extent but some poultry men assert there is nothing in it, as they have grazed geese and cattle together for a dozen of years. There are few farmers that keep enough geese to injure a pasture in this way even if the cattle do raise an objection. Toulouse geese will make use of swampy and waste land that is of no value for anything else. New York Butter-Making. A communication from the Geneva Experiment Station says: Butter making is again coming into great prominence as an industry in the dairy sections of New York. Improved methods and increased cleanliness in milk handling, cream ripening and churning are making the product of some of our creameries of high quality and great uniformity; but we still fail to reach the standard set by Denmark. Occasional butter faults will crop out even in high grade butter factories and the product of the state as a whole is for from uniform. One reason for this difference between New York and Denmark lies in the fact that the Danes make great use of the pasteurizer in their butter making. New York very little use. This is perhaps due to the fact that early trials of the continuous pasteurizing machines in America were not favorable to their use. Experiments made at Geneva in 1899, however, seem to indicate that the fault did not lie in the machines, but in the low temperature used in manipulating them; for at Geneva, using temperatures of 176 degrees F. and 185 degrees F., the germ-destroying power of the machine was most excellent. The numbers of bacteria present were reduced from hundreds of thousands or even millions to two or three hundreds at most, usually to much smaller numbers. Butter made from milk heated momentarily to these high temperatures had very little cooked flavor; and if handled rightly, none at all. Further experiments in making butter from pasteurized milk are to be made. Silver Wyandottes are the product of a number of crosses, the most important cross having been the Buff Cochins with the Silver Spangled Hamburgs. They were little known previous to 1870, and were at first called Sebright Cochins. Another cross was subsequently made of the Silver-Spangled Hamburgs with the Dark Brahma, and the results of the cross were also modified slightly by the addition of some Breda blood. It was not till 1883 that the Silver Wyandottes were officially recognized as a breed. That even the work of milking is not without danger is evidenced by the case of a milker in New Zealand who had his right eye put out by a switch from the cow's tail. Probably if the truth were known it would be found that a great many accidents of this kind, more or less serious have occurred. It would be well to have the cow's tail fastened during milking, as is now practiced by some. This is also in the interest or cleanliness. . . . . The Dairy and Food Department of Minnesota is having anything but an easy time enforcing the anti-olio laws in the iron-preprocessing regions of that state. The employers of labor in the mines find it very profitable to use olomargarine in the boarding-houses where their men are taken care of. Nevertheless, the inspectors have taken hold of the work in earnest and last year over $5,000 was collected in fines for selling and using butterline otherwise than in the way the law provides. --- We believe that pasteurization of skimmilk should be generally practiced, not only by the creameries and cheese factories but on farms where any considerable number of cows are kept for the production of milk, unless, in the last case, where the cows are all tested and are known to be free from tuberculosis. In the creameries and cheese factories especially the pasteurization is advisable. It will not only keep disease germs from being carried to all the farms but will have a tendency to keep the cows of the patrons from getting in an unsanitary condition. If the pasteurized milk is given back to the farmers when it stands at a temperature of 185 degrees it will destroy the germs of the ferments that may be accumulating in the seams of the cans. If this is repeated every other day, or every time the patron brings milk to the factory, it will aid very materially in keeping the cans of the more careless patrons in a good condition and will therefore assure a better supply of milk for the use of the man that is to turn it into butter or cheese. --- Only men with cleanly instincts should be permitted to have a part in drawing the milk from the cow or handling it at any time. They men are to be retained on the farm they should be put to some work other than that that directly affects the milk. We hear about men that dip their fingers into the milk when they want to moisten the teats of the cow they are milkling. It has never seemed to the writer that the facts as reported could be possible, but the preponderance of testimony seems to be that there are such dirty milkers. That being the case, the dirty man must be recognized as existing and he should be prevented from contaminating the milk supply. But he is not always easy to find. His dirty tricks are kept by him in the background as much as possible. He must be run down. Perhaps the best way to find him is for the cow owner to give his milkers general instructions against such methods. When the dirty man is the proprietor himself the case becomes more difficult to handle, and until something like the curd test for dirt is adopted by the creameries and cheese factories there is little chance of finding him out. It should not be forgotten that the dirty man stands in the way of the maker of both butter and cheese. The dirty man can bring to naught the finest skill in the world. If we would build up from the foundation we must eliminate dirt in men and methods. Cleanliness in all things is the first step in our upward progress. Shop Items. Sheep feeders are profting by the large supply and low prices and are buying liberally at the Chicago yards. The drouth in the Northwest has caused a large influx of sheep into idaho, which has overcrowded the ranges and compelled a large unloading of stock on the markets. Sheep and cattle interests threaten to conflict, and efforts will be made to devise some method of dividing the public range. A new sheep dip, intended for permanent use, is being constructed at the Chicago stock yards. Three years ago a wooden dip was constructed as an experiment. It will now be discarded. The new one is of brick and is 100 feet in length without curves. The old one had two bends, and these proved to be its chief defect. Montana ranges are said to be short of aged cattle on account of the large numbers of young cattle marketed during the last two or three years. Owing to this depletion of stock some cattlemen have resorted to sheep raising in order to utilize their ranges. Montana feeding lambs are quoted at $1.60 to $1.75 by ranchmen. Western exchanges claim that Western lambs are becoming great favorites with feeders who are buying heavily at Denver at $4.50, freight paid to the river. Sheep raisers in the neighborhood of Las Vegas are offering lambs at $1.70 per head, and Pecos Valley lambs are quoted at $1.60 to $1.75. In the San Luis valley the choicest lambs are being offered at $3.75 per hundred weight. A great many of the Western lambs, it is expected, will be shipped by feeders to the Arkansas Valley. The dipping vat for sheep at the Chicago stock yards never was busier than it was last week. More feeding sheep were brought than could be dipped without delay. Every farmer's family should have the luxury of a celery patch, as most farmers are not likely to buy it in the market. It is easily raised and can be on the farmer's table throughout a large part of the year. WOMAN'SKIDNEYTROUBLES Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is Especially Successful in Curing this Fatal Woman's Disease. EDNA FREDERICK. Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is applied, the weary patient seldom survives.

Now that the first of Octo- ber is approaching and the speaking campaign is vell under way, political activity may be expected, and does in fact exist throughout the state, The coming of Roosevett, the return of Gov. Shaw from his campaign for the na- tional committee in the surrounding states, the entrance upon active work im Iowa by all Iowa members of con- gress and the putting into the field this week of numerous other speakers, some of them of national repute; by the state committee, has set things going in good shape. Chairman Weaver says that no doubt is entertained by the national leaders of the outcome in the nation provided the republican votes can be brought to the polls, and the prospect of accomplishing this is much better thanit bas been et any time previous to this week. ‘The business interests gen- erally appear to be convinced of the importance of this election and will take the same attitude and exhibit al- most the same activity they did in 1896, ‘because the result of Bryan’s election would be the same this year that it was In 1896, In this connection Bryan said. in 3096: “If there is anyone who believes that the gold standard is a good thing, or that it must be maintained, I warn him not to cast his vote for me, because I promise him it will not be maintained in this country longer than I am able to get rid of it.” His purpose is un- changed and reiterated. “We accept the issue,” replied President McKin- ley, in his letter of acceptance, “and again invite the sound money forces to win another, and, we hope, perman- ent, triumph for an honest financial system which will continue inviolable the publie faith.” Gov.

Senator Alison Shows How Bryan's Election Weald Make Sure « Drei dire Congeeae: Clinton. Sept. 20.—Senator Allison made his first speech in the cam- paign tn Towa here to-night. He took ‘some pains to show beyond ali further dispute that the country is in just as much danger from the threat of Bry- ‘an and his followers to inaugurate a free silver policy in this country as it was in 1808, He demonstrated by a careful examination of the situation in the states which Bryan must carry to win the presidency that if he should be elected president both houses of congress would at the same time be given working majorities in sympathy with his policy. On that point Senator Allison said: “Bryan's friends clalm that he will carry many staten that he will not carry, but in ‘order to be elected there are certain states that ne must carry, and In some of these United States senators are to be elected. ‘There is ono senator to be elected this win- ter in each of the states of Kansas, Ne- braske. Wyoming, Colorado, » Montana, Utah and Idaho. Republicans hope to carry all these states, and 1 bellevo will carry Most of them, but Mr. Bryan carried them ail tn 18%, and must carry them this year to sive him even @ chance of success, and the same votes that will give him these electoral votes will also elect legislatures democratic. “The currency lew of the last session was passed by 18 majority. Senator Kyle, ‘of South Dakota, being absent and un: Paired, did not vote, though having a con- Alstent free silver record in the senate. Senators Lindsay, of Kentucky, and Cat fery, of Loulslana, go out of the senate ox the ith of March, and both their places have already been flied by senatore who favor free sliver. 80 that by that process. the ‘majority of 18 would be reduced on a simlla Vote to 14, and, standing of Utah agains Pennsylvania (both these states having seat vacant), if the six senators trom the states { have named except Utah shall be democratic, the republican majority in the Senate will be reduced to two, and if Sen ator Kyle should vote for free silver, as he has always done heretofore, the senate ‘would be a tle on that question, leaving th Wie president to cast the deciding vote which he fs pledged by his record, by the Platform and by speech to cast in favor o free silver. The democratio senator from Delaware voted for free sliver, nd it the democrats shall carry that state, wher there is now one vacancy, itis fale to sup pose that the senator elected would be fo free silver also, “thus it 1s thet on the doctrine of chances, Teaving out of consideration al {he ‘other states claimed by Mr. Bryar in ‘which senators are to be elecied, anc assuming that taking all these. togethe there may be one or more changes, there | wouta be’ a ‘majority, including’ the vot of the vice president, for the repeal of this | Jaw without any changes other than I have mentioned. “Thus; without discussing the question whether Br. Bryan could oF could not Through iis secretary of the treasury force upon the country the sliver standard ft is plain to me that if he fs elected with the power he will wield in his party as pres Ident, there will’be a majority in the house of representatives, and a large majority, for free silver, and with the force and pow: er that Iles behind free allver a majority in the senate will be secuzod for the repeal of the ‘law ‘passed at tho last session, and that law repealed, without amirmative leg {slation for free sitver, it is possible, in my bellef, for a president hontile to our pres ent standard of money, to force the sliver standard upon the people.” ; a) A WOMAN THAT MAKES | ; ak sf Hh | GOOD BREAD altthe time aust Ce a) Wilt) | use Ax flour: “This self-evident.
