The reputation wing of the Arkansas
Democracy style themselves amend
ment Democrats" They take this name
from the fact that they support and ad-
vocate the Fishback amendment, which
failed when submitted to a vote of the
people last year. The vote stood $4,000
for the amendment to Al 900 against it,
but as the affirmative vote was not a
majority of the total vote cast at the
election Q32 $3.50, under the law the
amendment was rejected. The Repu-
diaticnists are well organized and claim
to be stronger than last year. The
debt payers are relying, to a con
siderable extent, tor success upon the
2S, 900 who did not vote at all upon the
amendment last year. The amount
to be repudiated, if the amendment
Democrats succeed, is $13. 100000. A
part of this debt, representing levee and
railroad bonds, amounting to $1,000, coo,
has been declared illegal and void by the
Legislature, and therefore virtually re-
pudiated; but the repudiationists are not
satisfied with this They want to wipe
out larger part of the debt, and, fear
ing that a virtuous spasm might seize
some future Legislature and prompt it
to pay the bonds already declared illegal,
the amendment wing of the party pro-
pose to fix the reputation in the organic
law of the State The Republican p,rty
is so demoralized that many of its mem
bers are taking sides with one wing or
the other of the Democrats, as their in
dividual preferences direct

The total acreage of sorghum cane in
the State of Kansas last year was 40, 628,
and the product $500, 440 gallons of
molasses The value of the sorghum
molasses produced in Kansas has in
creased from $3.50, 33S in 1874 to 81, 751,-
749 in 1881. The farmers and stockmen
learn from experience that sorghum is
better than rice corn for stock feeding
purposes. Cattle and sheep will eat the
seed, blades and stalks of sorghum cane,
while only the seed Of the rice corn is
eaten. Nearly all the sheep of Southern
Kansas are being fed on sorghum cane

TRUE HERoIsM. Miss Teresa Harsh
berger, of Franklin borough, Is young
lady who recently performed an act of
self-sacrifcing devotion for the benefit of
the family of Mr.. John Hoy, of East
Conemaugh, whose little ones were all
taken down with small pOX several weeks
ago. 1t was apparently impossible to
secure nurse, and Mrs. Hoy was worn
out with watching and caring for her
children both day and night, when, one
evening, in the midst of her despair for
help, in walked Miss Teresa. She laid
aside her hat and wraps in business like
manner. which showed she had come to
stay and no amount of expostulation
could induce her to leave. Her
share of the self-imposed burden was
faithfully performed, and when the baby
died she washed the body, placed upon
it the grave clothes. and consigned it to
the undertaken for interment. She re
NAMED until the remaining children
fully recovered, assisted to wash the
infected clothes, clean and disinfect the
house, and then quietly returned home.
This lady never had smallpox, and her
courage in entering the Hoy family as an
independent nurse is to be so much the
more commended. She had been on
very intimate terms with Mrs. Hoy, and
hence her reason for taking the chances.

FdisOD's Progress.

Edison says eve have more than
eight hundred employees at work on full
time. The Edison machine works have
been working day and night They
have completed twelve dynamos of 200
lights each for Nassau and Spruce streets
and the East river; also one mammoth
dynamo for an engraving company in
London, and 400 smaller ones for isolated
lightning. The lamp factory at Menlo
Park is turning out ITO lamps daily.
The Edison Tube Company, which
manufactures the arctic underground
street mains, is now running with a
larger force than ever before. The work
of wiring the Fir-t district, down town,
is completed, over 100 houses having
beec supplied with wires, with a capac-
ity of about fifteen thousand lamps.
The work of laying the wires in another
district will not be begun for several
weeks. The first, or down town district,
will be lighted from one central station
in less than three months, unless by Tea-
son of severe rains or heavy frosts we
are delayed in making our subterranean
conn ctions. This branch of the work
is now progressing at the rate of one
thousand feet a day." Edison is still
taking out patents for electric lightning.
He took out twenty-five patents on
December 9th alone. This makes
about EIGHTY patents on electric light
ming already issued to him, and he has
several further applications pending in
the Patent Office. His electric railroad
at Menlo Park is nearly completed for
three miles. 1t is perfectly graded.

The investigation of the disbursement
of the Treasury contingent fund under
the Sherman regime continues with
closed doors. Precisely what has been
developed that was not known before
has not come TO light. Enough has
leaked out. however, to put Mr.. Sher-
man in the position of having neglected
TO inform himself of what was going Oh,
or to have been cognIzant Of the misdi-
rectiOn Of funds. 1t is now stated that,
for some unexplained reason, the report
of the contingent expenses of the Treasu-
~ Department, which has been in
Speaker Keifer's possession for several
days. has not been made public. Though
he is known to have the report, he has
made no reference to the subject. This,
to say the least, is singular proceeding.

Scottsville Va.) Courier: Not long

made a wager as to the strength of their
respective riding horses, to be deter
mined by tying the horses tails together,
heading one toward Maysville and the
other towards New Canton and starting
them. At the wold Ego" the owners
piled their steeds with hickories, and the
horse pointing toward Maysville made
off with the other, After dragging the
New Canton nag some distance the
owner of the winning horse drew his
knife and commenced cutting the tails
loose. The other party demanded that
the cutting should stop, but the victor
shouted; ooh, no; have won the bet;
both horses are mime and retired with

An interesting case has come up in
Rhenish Prussia, where one Peter Schiff
has been duly convicted of an out
rageous assault and murder, and has
been sentenced to fifteen years impris-
onment for the first offense and TO death
for the second. Between the prisoner
and the authorities a lively dispute has
arisen as to the time at which the second
sentence is to be carried into effect. Herr
Schiff is of opinion that he should be de-
capitated in 1896, and declares that he
can wait, and points out that if he is de-
capitated for the second crime it will be
impossible for him to expiate the first
offense; hence there will ensue miscar-
rage of justice The authorities are
represented as being in a dilemma.

An element of discord has broken out
among the members of the Mormon
Church which promises to be valuable
assistance in the future work of destroy
ing polygamy. A body of the members
have renounced the doctrine and refuse
to pay any more tithes, on the ground
that polygamy and blood atonement
were introduced by Brigham Young con
trary to the original belief. 1t is believed
that great many who still profess allie

How TO Wash FIannels.

Correspondence chicago 1TIOUNe.
The belief is quite general that soft,
Atwood tlannels cannO: be washed with
out shrinking and getting yellow, and
for these reasons many persons deny
themselves the luxury of wearing them.
But there is no foundation IN fact for
such belief, as the softest and finest
flannels may be washed an indefinite
number of times without becoming harsh
or yellow, or shrinking in the least, if the
following method is invariably pursued:
Dissolve a small quantity of good soap
in hot water; add cold water enough to
form a sufficient quantity Of suds.
Be careful not to have the suds too
strong. Put the hannels in the cold
suds and let them soak for several hours,
when, unless they are very much soiled
they can De cleansed per 'ectly by little
rubbing. If they are very dirty it may
be necessary to change the suds in which
they are soaked two or three times
Rinse IN cold water sOftened with little
soap or bOrax. Do not rub soap upon
the fannels. A little dissolved bOrax
should be added to the water in which
f1annels are washed, but no blueing
should ever be used, BoraX sOftens and
whitens them; blueing renders them
harsh and unsightly 1t is best to al
ways iron flannels before they are quite
dry.

was ever before realized from that
source. In 1912 the revenue from it
