Deaih Of Charles W. Foster.


FosToRIA, o., April 26-Charles W..
Foster died to day Mt 5:15 p. NJ. The man
to whom FUstoria owes inn great degree
her present prosperity, renown and her
name, has been transplanted by the uner-
ring hand of time from the city of the liv
ing to the city of the dead We mourn to-
day The death of one who is proud to die,
leaving AN ill,istrious son behind. We
mourn onewho can be numbered among that
great galaxy of men who, when they know
that their plans are right, depend upon
perseverance for success. To give the BIZ
ograply OF this man, we mnst write the
history of Fostoria, for in every acre of her
breadth we find footsteps of The dead.
Charles w. Foster was born in Brook
field, Worcester county, Mass, on the 2lst
of November, 1900, and had therefore
nearly reached his SD year.
From the time Of his entrance in politics
in 1870, Mr.. Foster has been wholly wrap
ped up in his son. Unlike most people of
his age, who covet death, the ruling pas
sion of his latter day has been TO live to
see his son President. Many times he has
expressed himself, "Could but see Charles
President, would die happy" and it ap-
peared from his hardy looks and shotp Of pigor-
ous manhood that ifa fetc years Of life pouid
accomplish the desired end. Mr.. Foster would
iire TO see his ,rish granted. He was doomed
however, to be struck down at time most
unlocked for Mr.. Foster needs no monu-
ment to cherish his memory. 1t rests IN
this beautiful, thriving city, which to-day
mourns his death and bursts out in all it,
intensity everywhere.

MIDWAY MUSIC.


A good time for melody, isit not? When
is better time for music, than the merry
month of May? But it is more than mel
ody, of which / write. Music is com =.
prehensive term-we apply it to things as
unmusical as squeaking hinge or ter.
magant's tongue. For instance, IN speaking
of a swell wedding or funeral, bacchana.
liam festival, a workman's riot or bar-room
row, it seems equally fitting to all to say,
meaningly, so! but there was music
there~ Though there might not have been
note of music sung or played.
The q. A. X. OF Toledo, assisted by its
Aid Society, propose to hold next month,
carnival that viii be musical in more SEN
ses than one. 1t will occur in Wheeler's
Opera House, beginning the 2lst of May,
continuing through the week, and having
a different program each night. Wolf's
mammoth band will discourse rich melody
and harmony each evening; our amateur
singers and dramaiisis will participate, as
| also our brilliant military, especially our
cherished Cadets. The object OF the series
| of entertainments is to replensh the char
ity fund of Forsyth Post, so that those who
wisely attend, will not only certainly enjoy
themselves supremely, but contribute tc
the support OF good cause, relieving the
necessities of the widows and orphans oi

RAISING PORK.

There is 90 question as to the profits
in raising pork, if the right kind of hogs
are selected, but there is the point
where a great many breeders differ.
The Berkshire breeder will tell you
that Berkshires are the only kind of
hogs worth raising; the Poland China
breeders will claim the same superior
ity for their special breed, and 80 on
through the list. The fact is, there is
but little difference between the two
breeds named, and either will richly
repay for care and good feeding. In
feeding corn, if you can sell your pork
at cents per pound on foot, you will
realize about so cents per bushe1 for
your corn. But it is not one-half so
profitable to feed corn as it is to feed
root crops, especially carrots.
To make cheap pork, one should have
plenty Of room for his hogs, with plenty
of good clean bedding, clean eating
troughs and pure water to drink. It is
mistake, and one that often leads to
serious results, to make the hog a
scavenger for the farm. Much, if not
all, Of the diseased pork comes directly
from this abuse of the hog. He will
eat filth and slops if he is obliged to,
but enjoys wholesome food and pure
water much better. Give him plenty
Of good, clean, wholesome food, pure
water, occasionally little charcoal, or
small Jumps Of soft coal, and plenty of
salt, and he will pay his keeping and
handsome profit.-Ddkota Farmer.

OiIa. ELolIr Mills.

The following items from the Miller of
yesterday are of interest to our readers:
The general belief among mill furnish
ers, who are watching the matter very
closely, is that as soon as the spring wheat
crop has been placed beyond all possible
danger, the machinery will be rushed into
the PilIsbury B mill, the least possible
time being taken to get the mill IN Ishape
for early winter business.
Considerable mystery surrounds build
ing which has been started on the lower
side of the Humboldt mill. w. D. Wash
burR owns the land and nothing
can be obtained as to what pur-
pose the building is going to be put,
further than the man in charge says it is
to be mill of some description. 1t is to
be of stone, 6OxSO feet, and four stories
and basement in height. Current report
is to the effect that it is to be planning
mill, but we surmise that it is an eleva-
tor.
The wheat stored in Minneapolis eleva-
tors, including the transfer elevator, on
Aug. IA, was 10000 bushels. There
were about 100000 bushels in the mills,
making total amount of wheat in store
in the city 100000 bushels, against 1,19O,-
600 bushels last week. The wheat stored
at st. Paul is about $4,000 bushels.
The Union mill was started up Wednes-
day to run day time during the balance of
the week.
The Minneapolis mill was shut down
Wednesday on account of getting out of
wheat.
The lower half of the Washburn A mill
was started up Tuesday night:
Mr.. de la Barre remains quite i'll, but is
improving slowly.
The Holly mill resumes operation on
Monday.
The Columbia mill is again under way.
