MANY curious tale might be told Of how
well-known books had to float along the tide
of literature many weary moons before at
tracing the attention of the public. "The
Story Of Country Town" by +. w. Howe is
good case in point Its author was and still
is the proprietor of the Atchison, Kansas,
Globe, and in the intervals OF busy
newspaper life wrote his book. When
finished 1t was offered successfully to
Harper & Brothers, Of New York, and Os-
good & Co. and Roberts Brothers, of Boston,
all of whom declined to take the risk of its
publication. The author, nothing daunted
determined to print it himself and 1t was
kindly received by the Western press. 1t
could not penetrate the literary crust OF the
East, until one day Barney McAuley, the
actor, picked up the book in one of his
Western tours He was attracted by its odd
appearance. 1t was printed In minion type
and looked different from ordinary books.
He thrust 1t into his bag and on his way East,
having nothing to do, he took it out and read
It He was greatly interested and when he
reached New York handed II over to mem.
Der of the Worlds staff. Then followed q
lengthy and critical notice and the book
began to boom. 1t is curiously illustrative
Of the ups and downs of life that at that time
McAuley was in the zenith of his prosperity
while Howe was unknown TO fame. Now
Howe Is off for a two months European
trip, while his accidental savior, the genia
comedian, has fallen by the wayside victim
of strong drink.

In Favor OF Cremation

Sacramento Recorder Union: Nearly

their names to a committee favoring the
organization of cremation association
there and the immediate erection of a
crematory. They are, we learn, repre-
sentative men. In this Los Angeles tes-
tifes to an advanced sentiment prevailing
in her midst. Sacramento, more than
Los Angeles, needs such sanitary reform.
Her situation is such that cremation
should be specially favored by her people
and burial discarded Papers have been
sent from here to San Francisco to secure
subscriptions to the capital stock of the
first cremation society IN that city. but a
crematory is more needed here than
there, and there should be enough here
who believe IN the process to insure the

other than sanitary reasons.

tents of surface privies is carried away in
carts, which have covers and pretend to
offset the horrible stencil by carrying q
smoking arrangement on the top. One Of
these carts has jnst passed up the alley
near my house. The doors and windows
are open to catch the good breeze which
heaven sends this morning. The smok-
ing cart is now out of sight, but
the house and all the air around
is charged with the sickening, intolerable
edor from that filthy craft of the alley and
of the street. Every open door and win
dow is q receptacle for this eickening
offering to the demon of disease and death.
This filth must be carried away, but there
is no need of this pestilential odor. Let
every householder be required to keep on
hend supply of, lime, where the sewer
connection is lacking, and freely use the
lime in these privy vaults or boxes Which
the cartman empties on his rounds. There
is not one particle of necessity for this
stencil anywhere. A small quantity of
lime used daily where filth Of any kind
accumulates will entirely destroy the bad
odor and save the air from the pollution
which il enough to bring pestilence.
Lime is 50 cheap that anyone can afford
it. The carts are often tsrdy in getting
around for garbage, and it decays and rots
along the alleys and streets. This need
not be. Lime is the cure till the cart
comes. One would think those men on
the garbage carts would be attacked by
the plague. There is no need of elevst-

The Chicago Fdrmsrs' Rsrictc will pub
lish the following summary of its crop re-
turns up t. Augu,t oath: with the ex-
ceptiou of the country tributary to the
Red River Valley in the last fourteen days
the harvest has not been seriously delayed.
Much of the spring wheat TO be handed
this fall aud winter will be of inferior
quality. The intensely hot weather in
July has been the main cause of this state
of affairs, the effect of which was to more
or less sarivel the grain and produce a
quality beloE Y that of last year. The spring
wheat crop of 1884 was exceptionally fiue
in quality. Northern Dakota promises
now to be the only area from which any
large supply of No. , hard wheat may be
looked for. Tue price of wheat has de-
cliued - cents within the last sixty days.
Even at the present prices the wheat ex-
port demand is very small. There is a
great accumulation of stock at shipping
points, and the prospects Of still further
increase has also been an element which
has gone very far toward producing the
present decline. The very cool nights which
prevailed more or less during August
have made farmers considerably anxious
for fear of an early frost. Whsle the gen.
eral appearance of corn is one of encour.
aeement the crop, as a whole, is late, and
we must get we'll into ssstember without
an early frost, for with it at least so per
cent. would be1ost."

mittee was called to order shortly after
noon day by Chairman Warren. Ex-
Fire Commissioner Vaucott offered the
following preamble and resolutions:
WHEREAS, The best interests Of the
Republican party will be sdbserved in
the pending contest by free and full ex-
preston of the wishes of all classes of
Republicans through the primaries held
for the election of delegates to the next
State Convention therefore,
ReSolred, AS the judgment of this
committee. that all voters residing in the
several assembly districts of the State
who adhere to the principles of the Re-
publican party and whose general inten-
tion is to act with the party and promote
its success by their votes and influence
at the next central election, be invited
without regard to any so-called ''funda-
mental test" to attend and take part in
said primaries, and this committee re-
commends all organizations of the party
throughout the State to act in compli-
aDce with the foregoing suggestion.
Mr.. Jacob Hess asked if the plan
would not interfere with the plans al
ready adopted last year. Mr. Van Cott
said that there were thousands of Re-
publicans in New York City who did not
vote last year for the nominee for the
Presidency. 1t would be wise for the
committee to do all in its power to giye
them an opportunity to vote for Rep1b
lican nominees this year. Mr.. Van Allen
said the resolution was simply IL tended

no sound exception to j.. BE thought it

support for the candidate whom we shall

party that harmony should prevail. l

| a committee of seven from the New
Y ofk Republican club was given admit
tance and, through ex-President Howes,
addressed the committee, urging an en-
largement of the plan for holding the
convention. He favored delegates from
each town which would create enthusiasm
among all classes. He cited several States
where such plan was success, and
thought that if applied to this State it
would draw voters from remote districts
who would take greater interest in the
party. 1t would do away with consider

in breaking the rivets that secured the
hasp of the corridor door, This admit
ted them to the main entrance. They
then armed themselves with this bar OF
iron and two murderous weapons out OF
Jail locks, taking their stand near the
door through which the iailor would have
tn pass. Their intention was to KILL him
and escape, which programme, no doubt
would have been successful but Tor the
faithful act of colored prisoner named
Henry Hall, who was confined on the
opposite side of the Jail. He saw ano

wrote note, and by some means attract
ed the attention of one of our citizens
TO whom he threw the note from his eel

Mr.. Williams, our jailor, informing HIN
of the plot. AS soon as Mr.. William
received the note he went to the jail, ac
