Give cows an abundance of sweet grass
and clean water, and access TO salt, remark.
a writer; see that the boys and dogs do moi
worry them; milk regularly with clean
hands keep milk in clean and sweet vessels,
and in cool, pure apartment; churn often;
work the butter well with anything but the
bare hands; use only the purest and best
salt; pack in clean jars or tubs; keep cool,
and cover with salt cloths, and the butter
will be equal to prime Gilt-Edged Kennebec
butter.

TooLs.-Now is good time to clean, re-
pair and oil old tools. Do not wait until the
busy season, when you will look around and
wonder where you left that hoe hanging,
and IN what tree, last year. Get your pillow
harness in good condition Fix everything
about your carts and wagons.

These views are so Numerically opposed
to the doctrines taught by the democracy,
that it is evidently the democratic party
is no place for Mr. Ticknor and he could
hardly do otherwise than leave it.
The Rockford Gazette endeavors to
misconstrue Mr.. Ticknor's actions and
other republican papers will no doubt fol-
low its example. 1t claims that he de,
serted the democratic party, not on &C
count of its attitude towards prohibition,
but because ''he had carefully investigated
the character of Cleveland and he could
not support such man" This is pure
fabrication as the following extract from
An interview with Mr. Ticknor published
in the Rockford Register will show:
Have you any objections to the dem
ocratic candidate which might tend to in
fluence you in this step?"
None whatever. | do not not object
to the candidate would be perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. Cleveland"

MARINER GOULD.
His Yacht Has a Marrow Escape in
East River.
How the EZ0Id Admiral of Wall
Street Hung TO the wheel
auu Rode FriamphaaIIy
10 Port,

New York, Oct Jay Gould's yacht
the Ataianla in coming down the East
River was forced out of the Long Island
chan-ol Though Hell Gate by tug with a
tow of haIG The pilot then headed her for
the ,ri.,dic ri,anEel When opposite the
ManAu5t'tD Courthouse, at Eighty ninth
street the helm WIGS put up and she made
straight towards 1t. The tile was running
down VIA the vessel at the rate
oi ,.i'ollt eight miles an hour.
The movements Of the yacht attracted the
attention Of many people ashore, who at
once saw the hazardous position in which she
had been placed There seemed to be doubts
that she would clear the point Of rocks at
the foot of Eighty ninth street Suddenly
she rocked slightly from side to side. Her en-
gines had been reversed. People on her decks
ran to the starboard quarter and peered anx
iously over the side In a moment there was
a confused hurrying of men at the wheel
house, and solid column of spray hung
under her stern The yatch shook from
truck to keel. In spite Of the efforts to stop
her the Atalanta forged ahead, her bow
slightly yeering outward. Confusion seized
| the people on her deck, and they ran about
| to be an hour of suspense, the Atlantas iib-
| boom swept past the little group of men on
the deck. A moment later the starboard
! bow struck the rocks and stuck fast The
| yacht keeled over until her port rail nearly
| touched the water, and then swung ont very
| slowly toward the channel. Her passengers
! screamed in terror, chung to awning posts
| and slid about the deck Mr. Gould was seen
| holding on by the wheel in the pilot-house
/ The tower of foam under the stern grew
larger, the vessel bumped heavily on the
rocks, rasped and pounded along for about
one hundred feet, and then slid Off, stern
foremost, into deep water A rowboat
manned by two men from the float at the
foot of Eightyeighth street glided up along
side to offer help. but no help was needed.
Were all right said Capt Shackford
to the people who crowded about him
the pumps Look sharp" As the
yacht forged out into the river
the whir of the steam pumps shook hei
again, and a stream of water poured through
her side For half an hour she zig Jagged tc
and fro across the river, the stream of watel
pouring from her all the while Several OF
her plates had been badly started Then
when cursory examination had been made
she gathered Roadway and continued hel
cruise down the river. Off Twenty -thirC
street, North river her downtown anchor
age, the Atalanta stopped, a boat was lowered
and several passengers were put ashore
Then the yacht sTrged forward again, gath
cred the foam of the Hudson in her teeth
and sped ON toward Irvington.

SARAH ALTHEA HILL, of the famous law
suit against Senator Sharon, is of medium
height, well developed, with 1.-the, trim
figure. She gives at first sight the impress
sion of woman who is abundantly able
to take care of herself, and yet the eX-
preston of her face and her attitude are
very womanly, as though she lacked cons
fidence and were appealing for support.
Her features are regular, her face oval
She is neither blonde nor brunette, with
dark brown hair, which is allowed to fall
in graceful waves over her full, round
forehead. Her most attractive feature is
the full brown eye. Her nose is clear cut,
and her mouth is also resolute in the hab>
itual compression of her lips; but this is
somewhat belied by slight droop at the
corners as though an originally fine Will
had been overlsid by strain of volup'
tuousness which weakened and coarsened
it, Her whole manner shows nervousness:
and vitality.

In the attempt to practically answer the
question What shall we do with our
boys?" Edward II. Coleman, of New York
city, has hit upon very generous colon
ization schme Coleman is philanthro>
phic gentleman, who has been deeply in
terested in the city mission of the Episco~
church in New York He has just
purchased La Cueva ranch, in Mora
county, New Mexico, paying 1902, 600 for
it. The ranch consists of 30. 900 acres,
5000 of which are under cultivation, is
stocked with bloOded stock, and has upon
it forty houses, general store, flour
mill, and saw>mill. 1t is finely watered
by three streams and six lakes, and, lying
1000 feet above the sea,level, is in on e
of the finest climates of that region. On
thisranCh Coleman proposes to give young
men, who have fallen in the Temptations
of city life, the most favorable opportuni-
ties to make new start. In the way of
improvements he intends to build immed-
lately a stone Episcopal church and
buildings for a seminary. The nucleus of
the colony will consist of English families,
chiefly farmers, and two or three clergy
men, who will labor as pastors and tutors.
The scheme is very elaborate one and
will be conducted on strictly Episcopal
basis.

TICKEOR TURNS.

Mr.. james Ticknor, of Rockford, DEM
ocratic candidate for congress 10 the sixth
district two years ago, has withdrawn from
the Cleveland and Hendricks club and de
cided to support ST. John. Mr.. Ticknor's
reasons for this change in his political
associations is that he believes prohibition
70 be the most important question now
before the people, and to be national
sad local issue, in other words that the
aationai government should prohibit the
sale 81 drinking of liquor, power Ger,
l9iaiy not granted to it by the constitution.

Eoublc Flurder in Chicago.

CHICAGO, OFT. minnie Brooks and her
husband, Giles Hunt, keepers of low dive
near iha corner Of Polk and Dearborn streets
were stabbed Saturday evening by Joe Will
iams, a cotored visitor at the house.
Hunt died twenty four hours later
from the effects of his wounds
and the woman breathed her
last at O'Clock a. H. Monday. Williams is
under arrest. He claims that the stabbing
was done in self-defense, as Mrs. Brooks had
drawn revolver ON him before he attacked
her. The quarrel resulted from an attempt
to eject Williams, who, after stabbing the
mistress of the house, attacked the husband
tiercely, and when found by the police some
hours later was sill in a murderous mood.
Minnie Brooks gained notoriety two years
ago by suddenly reforming and setting up a
refuge for fallen women, which she callei the
"Rehoboth home" For year she was con-
sistent in her change of life, then, pinched by
poverty, she suddenly married her former
colOred raramour, Hunt, and resumed her
old ways
The police are inclined to believe Williams
statement He shows a wound in his cheek
made by pistol ball
