A PapoOse Killed by Mosquitoes.
Dayton Tunes.

In Aida Valley, Nevada, last week, a
small band of Indians were camping
near some willows where the mosqui-
toes were very numerous. A squaw
left her babe in the shade while she
played Plute poker with her compan-
ions. The game was rather high, and
became so very interesting that she for
got her. unfortunate offspring for several
hours. When her attention was again
directed to the child she discovered
that i had been almost eaten up by
the mosquitoes. They had collected
on the little thing in such numbers that
it's face and arms were completely raw
from their attacks. SO many had bitten
the baby that it died next day from the
effects Of the poison.

The following was said before the

Cream vs.. heat.

Fort Dodge Messenger: When at
Algona, Kossuth county, short time
ago, we looked in upon the crea maries
there and learned these facts: The two
factories there make and sell about
81 600 worth of butter day. This fact
alone gave us food for thought. One
thousand dollars per day in clean cash
is taken in and paid out for labor and
to the farmers who contribute cream TO
these factories. Not farmer has to
leave his farm, or a single team is
taken from the corn field. Some Of this
cream is hauled twenty miles. Now,
suppose instead OF cream, the same far
mers wLo furnish the cream should
bring 81 600 worth ofgrain in to Algona
daily. Think Of the time, teams and
labor it would take to do this, especial
ly such season as this has been for
bad roads. The mere mention OF this
ca ries with it its own conclusions for
the thinking farmer.

Farmers Reuiew: Corn will be scarce
and high next winter. That will send
up the price Of pork and beef to high
figures. The only way to take the
proper advantage Of that condition of
things is to save all the hay possible, to
help make up the deficiency. Search
ty of corn will help make high prices
for all kinds of feeding stuff, including
hay. Therefore, whether or not one
has a home demand for hay, for feed
ing, he should cut all the grass that
Nature gives HIM this year. 1t is too
often the case with western farmers
that they save only the cream of the
grass crop, leaving that which is more
scant to fall down and go TO waste.
Every farmer this year should cut
clean the thick and thin grass alike,
cure it as well as the season will allow,
and store in stack or barn for winter
use or sale. Saving the products usu'
ally wasted, means the difference be-
tween large and small profits.

used in the purchase of an island or place on
the main land down the bay to be called the
"Herssy Retreat" these each year children OF
the Universalist Sunday School from the ages
of six to eighteen years will be taken in parties
OF thirty, the time to be divided between those
of these years, they to be supported there with
their attendants without cost to themselves,
the society to build suitable substantial
building for their accommodation, and the
ground to be laid out with pleasant walks and
various appliances for the amusement of the
children. What there was left of the income
after making suitable provision for this retreat,
the society could use where it would benefit
the most preference being given to clothing
the naked and feeding the huI cry.
Under the terms of the will the bequest was
not to be paia until 1900. Negotiations have
for some time been pending between the heirs
or administrators and the UniversaliSt Society,
looking to an immediate settlement. The
matter has finally been settled and the execu-

GORHAM.
An Important Enterprise.

An informal meeting of citizens of Gorham
was held last evening to see il 1t was deemed
advisable to aid in the construction OF large
shoe factory in that town. The Messrs. Keene.
who are large manufacturers in Lynn, Mass,
have made an offer to the citizens to establish
and run large shoe factory, employing 5OO
operatives, with payroll of 100000 per year,
provided the citizens will appropriate $4,000
to purchase twenty acres of land south OF the
depot, and to erect thereon the proper build
ings. No conclusion was arrived at last even
ing, bat it is probable the amount will be sub
scribed and the factory established, under a
corporate form, the Messrs. Keene taking part
in the corporation. Such an institution would
add considerably to Portland's valuation, al
we'll as Gorham's.
