DURING the present campaign the
Republican congressional committee
has frequently been short of funds, but
has managed to continue business. Not
so with the democratic congressional
committee; it has no money and
quietly yields up the ghost. The dem
ocratic press has evidently colored
affairs. The roseate hues it has painted
are nought but sombre shades. There

Clergymen capsizsd.


New York, Oct. 19.-Two clergymen
out driving this afternoon on S9th
street, near Bird avenue, were thrown
from their carriage and seriously in
jured, by their horse taking fright. One
of the gentlemen, Father Schueninger,
of No. 425 west 49th street, was &C.
riously, and it is feared, fatally injured.
He was removed to the st. Joseph or
phan asylum, where he now lies in
critical condition. His companion,
Rev. T. G. Schadler, of No. 112 lst av-
enue escaped with but slight injuries.
Father Schueninger has sustained a
fracture of the skull his physicians say,
and will not live.

day adopted the socialist bill by vote
of 221 against 149. Both sections of
the conservatives and national liberals,
with some independent liberals, voted
for the bill. Prince Bismarck then
read the message closing the reichstag.
He said the government, armed with
this measure, would make determined
effort to cure the prevalent disease.
If they were not able to succeed in
two and half years the government
hoped to obtain further CONCESSIONS.

admitted that there was depres-

Ten Men Board a Kansas Pacific Train
The Leader Caught, Another Shot,

Detective Work.


OMAHA, Oct. 10.
The vigilance Of the detectives en-
ployed by the Kansas Pacific railroad
company has been rewarded. 1t be-
coming known to the road agents of
central Kansas that large amounts of
gold and silver bullion were passing
over the road, they organized a bevy to
capture stake. About a week ago
this gang encarhped near the line of
the road between Fort Harker and
Rock Springs. They frequently got
cipher dispatches from Denver and
other points west, going sometimes to
Rock Springs to receive them, but
oftener at the Fort Harker station.
Their confederates were well posted,
they having indicated train which
had on board an unusually large amount

Pap Pope Preaching.


Chicago, Oct. 19.-Ata a late hour to-
night military headquarters received
several interesting documents bearing
on the Cheyenne Indian troubles. The
first is from Gen. Pope, who reports
that the force of the cavalry is too
small to attend to the seceders, and
that all the military are poorly armed
with carbines as against the Indian rifles.
The cavalry are kept busy at Sill and
Reno. He urges that more forces are
essential to securing peace on the bor-
der. At the Cheyenne Indian agency
he learns that there is an enormous de-
ficiency in Indian supplies, as shown by
the report of John d. Miles, agent at
the Cheyenne and Arapahoe agency.
The latter says the primary cause of
the Cheyennes leaving the reservation
is that the daily rations promised them
of one and one-half lbs. of beef, one
half lb. flour or corn, and four lbs.
coffee, eight lbs. sugar and three lbs.
beans to each 100 rations, has only been
partially carried out, the supplies re-
ceived being insufficient. None of the
stock, and aid in building houses, which
was promised has been afforded them.
Another cause of the detection was that
they objected to the manner of serving
their rations. The northern Cheyennes
first withdrew, and all efforts to induce
them to return peaceably have been un-
avalling. Gen. Pope suggests that the
Indian commissioners may Sin the light
of these facts find it necessary to modi-
fly their view of affairs"

The Press,

Our Minister to the court ofSt. James
in the year 1917 wrote, concerning the
London press, as follows: Ihave been
told that some yield profit $75, 900 per
annum. The profits Of the Times are
said to have exceeded $4,000 per an
mum. The cost of a daily paper to a
regular subscriber is about ten pounds
sterling; they are circulated by agents
at penny an hour in London. When
a few days old, they are sent to provin-
cial towns and through the country at a
reduced rate" What Englishmen now
say of our papers, this Minister said of
those of London: Everything goes in
to the newspapers. In other countries,
matter Of a public nature may be seen
in them; here, in addition, you see per-
petually the concerns of individuals.

Done Brown.

1t seems incredible that a man born
and raised in Annisquam, Massachu-
sets, should have been done so decid-
edly brown as the particular Caleb de-
scribed to the Drawer, as follows, by a
lady:
A well-to-do resident of the village,
Captain W, wished to employ Caleb
to saw some wood, three cords and a
half in all, and promised to pay him
fifty cents a day. Caleb owned no saw,
but as the. captain had good one, it
was agreed that Caleb should hire it,
and pay for the use Of it at the rate of
ninepence cord At early dawn the
next morning-it was in July-Caleb
was at work. Those were the days of
wide tire-places, and each log needed to
be sawed but once. Before night he
had finished the job, and went into
Captain VS. house to settle.
Lets see," said the captain; "you
were to have fifty cents a day: we'll
call it a day, though it isn't shutdown
yet. That's fifty cents for you. And
you were to pay me ninepence a cord
for the use of the saw, there's forty
three and three-quarter cents due me.
1 say, Caleb, you don't seem to have
much coming"
Caleb looked dubious. He scratched
his head thoughtfully, but presently a
light seemed to break in upon his mind.

PROFITABLE POULrRY.-A poultry
raiser Of experience says his conclll-
sion is that farmers can do much better
with good common hens, with some
good-blooded cock, than with flock of
fancy fowls. A good cross among
poultry is as valuable as among stock.
One of the most profitable kinds for a
farmer is cross between the Leghorn
hen and Poland or Brahma cock.
Their progeny are good layers, nice for
the table and profitable for market.
The White Leghorn is the most profit
able breed for eggs; they need & little
more care than some other sorts, but
care of poultry pays.
WHAT STOCK NEEDs.-A writer in
the Farm and Fireside remarks: The
requirements of success in stock feeding
for profit are well-bred stock, clean,
warm quarters, pure water, sufficient
salt, stall for each, having rope and
chain fastening instead of stanchions,
gentle exercise daily, when the weather
is not stormy, sufficient sweet clover
hay, cured in the cock, to supply their
wants, and a uniform supply of finely
ground corn meal. Whatever method
of feeding may be adopted, the question
in which the progressive, practical
farmer is the most interested is, How
can l produce the most tender, juicy
beef in the shortest time, at the least
possible expense?'"
To RELIEVE CHoKED COws.-The
proceedings of the Elmira Farmers
Club, officially reported in the Husband
man, contains the following: "My
way is to open the mouth of the choked
animal and insert clevis wide enough
to keep the jaws distcnded, and give
space for the passage of boys hand
I hold the clevis in place, while my boy
passes his hand through and picks out
the apple or other obstruction. Any
boy whose hand is small enough to
pass without crowding, can easily re-
move the trouble with entire safety.
have tried to do it myself but my hand
is too large. There is 10 difficulty or
danger if the clevis is firmly held in
position" Another member said that
an easy way to bring relief is to cause
the choked animal to jump over high
bars, as high as may be leaped with
considerable exertion, ltnever fails to
eject the offending substance or cause
it to pass it downward. He had tried
many times, always with success.
