Afidavits were read in reference to the death
of Stephen Deuel., postal clerk, of Gallon, o..
previous affidavit having charged that he died
by reason of overwork The first affidavit is
from c. L. Coyle, of Gallon. Crawford county,
Ohio, dated Feb. 81, 1884 and testifes
that affant, who has practiced medicine since
1860 in that place, was acquainted with one
Stephen Deuel. during his life time, and that he
treated him at three different times for attacks
of delirium tremens. That the last and most
severe attack for which he treated him was on
or about January, 1877, and that he considers
Deuels dissipation and excessive drinking the
cause of his i'll health, and ultimately the cause
Of his death
The other affidavit is of the same tenor 1t is
dated Feb q, 1884, and the affiant is H. S. Bar
bour, also of Gallon, and who has practiced med
icine since 1864. He testifes that he treated
deuel. at intervals from April to September,
1877, and his system was broken down by con
tinued dissipation.
The commission adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock

POLITICAL SMALL TALK.
Who Shall Be Elected Chairman of the Demo-
cratic State Committee.

II believe" remarked a member of the Demo
cratic State committee to a journal reporter in
speaking of the party organization for the next
campaign, that the committee will elect one of
its members chairman this time. 1t is proper
that it should, and it seems more than likely,
from the general expression in regard to the
matter, that it will be done. The aspirants for
the Craftsmanship are anxious to be made com
mitteemen, for the reason that it is believed that
it would enhance their chances of success"
"Who do you believe is most likely to be
chosen for the position2 was asked.
ut all very largely depends upon whether or
not the committee determines to elect one of its
members. If it goes outside | think Tom
Byrnes of Evansville, is likely to be chosen He
is held IL more general favor now than any other
available man Rice would be elected
if he would accept the position.
Eb Henderson is anxious to be the candidate
for Congress from his district, and, therefore,
he is not available There is considerable oppo-
sition to John B. Stoll. who is an aspirant, but
he is likely to be made the committeeman from
the Thirteenth district, and that may be the
means of his getting the place. Byrnes was a
member of the committee in 1876, and this year
some one from Spencer county will probably be
chosen for the First district, so that his chances
of election depend very much upon the DISPOSE
ton to go outside the committee organization.
If the election of the chairman should be left to
the present committee, however, Byrnes would
be chosen t'.'-

THE AMUSEMENT REVIEW.

CYCLISTS OPERA-HoUsE-THE ELKS BENEFIT.
Miss Annie Pixley and her company began a
limited engagement at Engishs, last night the
performance being for the benefit of the local
lodge of Elks, but the audience was not so large
as to insure much pecuniary profit Fred Mars
denis entertaining play, "Zara," was given, and
Miss Pixleys clever acting and excellent singing
made very favorable impression. She is one
of the most talented and versatile ladies on the
stage. Her support was even and generally sat
isfactory. Frank Losee, the leading man, was a
little too heavy in the love scenes, but otherwise
good, and other parts were creditably assumed
by Donald Harold, the comedian, Mr.. johnson
and Miss Archer, whose costumes We're
especially rich and tasteful. Miss Pixley
sang several songs very sweetly,
her rendition of Towards waltz song
when the Robins Nest Again, being so pleas
ing that she was recalled. "Zara' will be re
peated at the matinee tomorrow, and tonight
and to- morrow night the old favorite, ''Mlss >
will be given
Besides the regular performance last night
there were several specialties, including recita-
tons by Miss Annie Hathaway and Mr. Lester
Gabriel, coTnet solo by Mr.. Walter B. Rogers,
selections on the harmonica by w w. Woolen
and a very creditable song and dance by James
II. Cummings, a retired professional who evi-

Farming Does Pay.

Next to money, there is nothing like saw
'rg tine. Since | first followed the pillow
when boy (for fish worms) haye alway,
made it my object TO make the most out Of
every minute, and can assure you that
my style of farming has paid, from the
fact that at my present time of life there
are not more than one or two mortgages on
my farm, and they could easily be removed
by the money. In agriculturist econom,
there is nothing like doing two things q,
| once, and my most distant relatives anG
friends say that l am humane, easy far
mer, and lay claim to being industrious
Now you know every farmer loses a great
deal OF time just in grinding his axes and
knives. have changed all this. By a
slight contrivance on the other side oc the
grind stone, haye attrached a self feeding
straw-rutter; so when the boy turns the
grind stone, the straw cutter goes at the
same rate, and thus two objects are accom-
Plished at the same time--if the boy does
growl, and growing doesn't make il any
easier, goodness knows. can't see how il
could.
In seeding time one of my boys goes into
the lield and scatters the grain broad cast
with ease at the same time he pulls behind
him light harrow of my own construction
and the seed is narrowed in. Thus you
readily see the expense Of drill and sever
al horses is saved. am trying to study
out plan for attaching clod roller behind
the harrow to save the boy the time aud
the trouble of going over the field the second
time, at which he might growl. Hoeing
corn and potatoes is slow work; so furnish
my boys with handles that have two hoes
on them, and OF course they do double the
work that one does, as you will allow; and
in harvest my cradles have back blade as
well as front one, so they cut backward a.
well as forwardj and as the old wood saw
only cuts as it goes down through stick,
have had one made for my boys that alsc
cuts coming back, and thus it saves half the
time. When "agents" Of any kind call on
me, or even my neighbors, invite them Il
the barn and get them to help me husb
corn, while listen to their talk; and you
see get a good deal OF work done while
am getting good deal of valuable informa
tion and nobody loses any iime-but them

1T is Acknowledged bv all who breed
poultry that meat is an essential portion OF
their diet, especially # the fowls arc confin
ed in close quarters.
Bones owe their value as fertiizing
material to the phosphoric acid which they
contain, and in less degree to the eombin-
ed trogenous matter found in them.
California farmers raise sixty two bush
els of sunaower seed to the acre, aud after
grinding gallon of oil from each bushel,
feed the refuse to chickens and cows.
The value of gypsum as fertilizer is
believed to be partly due to its action in
fixing volatile and escaping carbonates OF
ammonia and conveying them to the roots
ofplants.
1t may seem extravagant to cut up and
plant the largest, smoothest and incest po-
tatoes raised, but a very few trials, taking
one year with another, will soon convince
the grower that ii is''the most profitable
