CHARTz PARDONED.

ALI. Chartz was pardoned out OF the
Nevada State Prison, last week, after
an imprisonment of four years and
half, for killing Ed. Rickar, a con-
ductor on the Eureka and Palisade
railroad.
Mr.. Chartz was publisher of the Eu-
reka Daily Leader, the paper which
Jim Anderson edited at the time of
his death. Mr.. Rickar was about to
be married, aud the Leader published
bantering announcement of the ap-
preaching nuptials. Rickar, who was
large man, sent very abusive let.
ter to Chartz, and then went off on his
train. He returned in the evening,
and as he got off the transfer coach
Chartz met him. Rickar asked:
"Did you get my letter.
EYES," replied Chartz.
"Well, it all goes, you s. Of
b.. I'll give you any gamo you
want"
Rickar thereupon drew his pistol,
but Chartz was too quick for him, and
shot Rickar, MORALLY wounding him.
Chartz was tried, convicted and sen.
fenced to Imprisonment for life. In
an article referring to the matter, the
Virginia Chronicle says that the con-
viction of Chartz was the result of an
unfair trial, and his long imprison-
ment an outrage on justice. His re-
lease was an honorable acquittal, for
it was made on evidence that would
have caused any jury to give verdict
in his favor without leaving their
seats.

srs. Biilingsley and Hart to travel 80
or 40, or 100 miles, as the case might
be, to hold an election. Billingsley's
store must therefore have been
agreed upon by the Board, and that
has since been generally understood
to have been the place. 1t was, in
deed, so well understood that when,
few days before election, Sheriff Gray
took the poll-books for distribution
throughout the county, he left them
at Billingsley's, told Messrs. Hart and
Billingsley that the poll was to be
held there, and posted up All election
notice designating Billingsley's store
as the place for holding the poll. He
then continued on his travels, but did
not even 60 to the junction of the Or
egon Short Line and the Wood River
branch, (which was not marked on
any map, or in existence, last July,
when the election precincts were es-
tablishcd), and established no poll
there.
There is therefore no doubt as to
the intent of the Board in establish
ing the poll at Billingsley's; and it is
therefore equally evident that, in re-
fusing to count the returns from that
precinct under the pretext that the
poll was not held at the place desig-
mated, Messrs. Leadley and Bixby
have rcsorted to petty, disreputable
and very dishonorable trick, that may
yet result in something more than
mere verbal denunciatlon.

Some Uses Of Gas Tar.

The value of gas tar for many purposes
is not generally appreciated. Its odor is
disagreeable to many and it is not of
lively color. As paint for the interior
of poultry houses it can hardly be ex-
celled; its odor is so permanent that it
does not require to be renewed frequent
". In stables it is said to be no less effica-
cious, as flies will not congregate or rest
on surfaces that have been painted with
it. 1t is to be hoped that gas tar will
have a thorough trial as an insecticide
the coming season, for it is not only a
safe remedy but very cheap one. Mr..
r. S. Hart, Brighton, n. Y, has tested
for two years the efficacy of gas tar water
for potato beetles with the most satisfac-
tory results. His method is to put two
quarts of tar into three-gallon pail, fill
with water, stir well, allow to settle,
then sprinkle the beetles with the water.
This amount of tar will serve for a sea-
son provided the potato patch is not too
large. 1t is only necessary to refill the
pail with water as often rs emptied and
Stir and settle as at first. The point is
to thoroughly impregnate the water with
the tar; it kills the beetles and does not
injure the foliage. Mr.. Hart has tried
the gas tar water on currant bushes in
tested with worms with equally good
effect.-COr. ~ Y. Tribune. -

Borrowing Farmers.

A writer in the Country Gentleman
says: ga good thing may be carried to
a bad extreme, and little useful ac-
coDmodation among neighbOrs may run
into excessive annoyance. 1t is an old
saying that he that goes borrowing
goes sorrowing,' but find the inverse
more emphatically true: He that goes
lending goes sorrowing.' A neighbor
who keeps an unusually complete sup
ply of tools Cor who attempts to keep
them), has informed me that several
have entirely disappeared, through the
agency of borrowers, beyond the posi-
bility of his tracing them, and these
tools cost him many dollars. Some years
ago my several poorer neighbors seemed
to think that as L was well supplied, it
was my duty to lend them whenever they
wanted. The question which they asked
was, Are you going to use your wagon
to-day?' And if the answer was mega
tive had no further voice in the mat
ter; the wagon was to be taken, of
course. Some of them even went so far
as toregard my right to any of the tools
as second to theirs, and one of them pos
itively refused to return a machine til!
he had done with it, although was ir
equal need. I lent tool costing twenty
dollars to a neighbor, which he kept
several months until Ihad forgotten who
took it. After inquiring for many miles
/ traced it out. The borrower was NOR
titled; he told his hired man to return it,
instead of which he had put it in an out
of-the-way place; but it would probably
have come home sooner if drawing
twenty-five cents day all this time. I
have succeeded in partly breaking up
this borrowing and lending, and I be-
lieve my neighbors like me all the better
for it. began with the harrow, which
had been lent to so many that several
teeth were missing. When discovered
this loss, told the next applicant that
each borrower must add tooth. Some
complied. and others would not take it.
am aware that poorer neighbors may
think hard of richer ones who will not
lend everything. but he who would please
all will find no limit to the yearly widen
ing circle of borrowers. Accommodate
where he reasonably can, and there stop.
They will like him none the less in the
end. Fixed prices for hiring out would
be an excellent remedy.

Kansas Praising It.

"While I was in Topeka last winter" said
the Hon. Arthur Edgington, 81 had pretty
rough time of it. l got bad cold, and then,
that not being sufficiently severe, I was also
attacked with rheumatism. Tie pain was in
my left shoulder. At times almost writhed
in agony. tell you, sir, that the pain could
not have been greater had my shoulder been
screwed up in wise. was utterly helpless,
and felt like was destined to remain in that
condition indefinitely. Ny friends and ply
sician were generous in their prescriptions and
my room soon became miniature apothecary
shop. But nothing did me any good One
day some one told me was enduring great
deal of needless pain when could invest fifty
cents in bottle of st. Jacobs Oil and be cured.
I invested in bottle Of the Oil, rubbed It on
my shoulder twice, and in two days forgot
that ever had rheumatism. Yes, that il
great remedy, and no mistake. They can't
say too much in favor Of its healing power"
The above was uttered by Mr. Edgington
while sitting in the porch Of the La Gonda
House, at Columbus, the other evening, and
was overheard by an escaped reporter, who Is
travelling over the country incog. Inquiry de-
veloped the fact that Mr.. Edgington is one Of
the most widely known men in Kansas, fgur-
ing prominently in politics, and acting as the
responsible agent Of the Bradstreet CONNER
cial Agency. Upon subsequently making Mr..
Edgington's acquaintance the reporter was
assured that all he had heard was true, and he
was at liberty to use it in the papers.-OsHe0o

FARM AND PRESIDE.

Hens, as rule, lay about an equal
number of eggs in their first and second
seasons, after which the produce de-
creaSeS.
There is no change or improvement
in the journalism OF the last ten years
that is more noteworthy than that in
creased attention which Is everywhere
given to supplying agricultural and home
information for farmers and their fami-
ies--Chicago Herald.
In feeding, farmers should remem-
ber that the measure of the value of a
food is in a great degree determined by
its price. If hay is worth ten dollars per
ton and corn the same price, feed large
ly of corn, using only hay enough to dis
tend the stomachs of the animals.
In using baking powder be sure not
to use too much. Besides being un-
healthful, it spoils the delicate flavor of
cake and of biscuit; it is great temp
tation to put in little more than that
given in arecipe to make SUITE of the de-
sired lightness, but it ought to be resist
ed. Hyou are not your own cake-maker
impress this fact upon your cook.
Hanging Baskets-What looks more
lovely than a plant suspended from q
small rustic basket in the centre of the
upper part of the window? 1t interferes
with nothing and nothing interferes with
It. There's an element of beauty in that
simple fact Plants which have slender
branches, which naturally hang down,
are at home in this situation. The
mother-of-thousand the wandering
jew, with its pretty marked leaves; the
lobelias and some of the trailing cam
panulas or bell-fowers; the well-named
rat-tailed cactus, and the so-called ice
plants are more at home when suspended
than when grown in any other position.
Remedies for chilblains and cold
feet-Slice raw potatoes with the skins
on and sprinkle over them atea-spoonful
of fine salt, and as soon as liquid is
drawn from them rub it upon the chill
blains with bit of cotton wool. Some
times one application will heal them if
the skin is not broken; if it is, make
salve of equal parts of mutton and beef
tallow and of grated carrot, simmered
together an hour with bit of camphor
gum and of borax dissolved in it. Take
q piece the size of walnut to half
pound of tallow. Rub this salve on q
linen cloth and apply nightly until healed.
