Now is the time for those suffering
with catarrh to gather mullen (Which
grows in old fields and waste places)
and hang it up in the shade to dry. To
use it, simply smoke it in q pipe like
tobacco, only inhsle the smoke by
drawing a long breath and forcing the
smoke through the nose. Tea made of
mullen is good for colds and coughs. I
have written this for the suffering and I
think it worth trying.

A WRITER in Household tells how she
made a pretty hassock: / took a round
cedar block, such as they pave the
streets with here, but n sawed off a
log l suppose would answer the pur-
pose. My block was not quite large
enough around to be we'll proportloned,
SO l made it the right size by wrapping
old carpet around 1t, also put some on
top so as to make it resemble a bought
one as far as possible. Then / went up
garrett and selected a pretty piece of
blue carpet: l feared at first it was too
small, but as my is furnished In
blue no other color would answer. l
first cut out a round piece for the top,
leaving it large enough to lap under the
side strip, which I then sewed on, lap
ping the edges over neatly. A round
piece of ollcloth was tackled on the bot
tom, and a piece of fringe tackled all
around IL where the side and top pieces
met. I finished it with a little loop at
the side to move it by. The whole
article cost me but twenty-five cents
flor the yard of fringe, and my inge-
nulty is amply rewarded by the many
compliments / receive for it. Make

The WABASH STRIKE.
No Serious Results as Yet, But Trouble
Expected at Kansas City Shortly.

ST. Louis, Aug. 10.
The action Of the executive committee of
the Knights of Labor in issuing q general
order to the knights employed on the roads
west of the Mississippi prohibiting the hand
ling or repairing of the Wabash rolling stock
has been followed by no serious results here
today. Members of the Wabash committee
which is in session here are of the opinion
that the full force of the order will not be
felt by the railroads for several days. yet
kilograms have been received by them from
different parts of the State from branch as
semblies of the national organization endors-
ing the issuance of the general order and in.
dcating their desire to stand by it. There
will be meetings of knights all through the
west as soon as the order is seceived by them
and it is expected that concerted action will
be taken by them by the 2lst inst. at the
latest.
7. J. Russell, of the committee, says that
the resolutions calling for the impeachment
of United States Judges Bremen, Treat and
Krekle will be carried out if possible. Con-
gresham Warner and Gen. Palmer will
draw up articles of impeachment, which will
be introduced in Congress and pushed with
all the influence which the Knights can COM
mand. Trouble is expected at Kansas City
shortly. The number Of yard and train men
at that point are Knights, and in obedience to
to yesterdays order they will, it is thought,
refuse to handle the Wabash cars. in conse-
quence of which all the Wabash freight will
be side tracked.

Passed Endorsing Cleve.
lands Administration.

CONCORD, n. H., Aug. 10.
At caucus this evening to act on the re-
port of committee appointed at the last meet
ing to present resolutions expressive of the
sentiments of the democracy in the legisla-
ture, upon Federal affairs and the admins
tration of President Cleveland, Hon. Harry
Bingham of Littleton. chairman of the COM
mittee, reported the following which were
unanimously adopted as the sentiment of the
caucus:
Resolved, That we adhere to the funda-
mental principles of the democracy. as set
forth in our last State and National platform /;
that upon those principles as a basis we ask
an honest and efficient administration of
both State and Federal government; that we
love and will cherish our party organization,
because we regard it as a meaRs by which
such an administration can be secured, and
we will stand by. uphold and maintain to the
end the administration which upon the basis
of democracy sincely aims to confer upon the
country the blessing of good government.
Resolved, That we spurn any and all party
organizations which prostitute themselves to
selfish ends and expend their power in the
business of grasping and struggling for
plunder and spoils which may be the fruits of
political victory, and that we are profound
ly impressed with the conviction that pc. pet
uity of our free institutions and of the re-
public itself are in danger and that their sal
vaton demands that corrupt men be made no
longer recipients of emoluments of office and
that honesty and capacity be restored to their
rightful positions in the politics of our
country.
Resolved, That we endorse the sentiment
that the official power in the hands of mag
istrate is trust to be faithfully executed in
the interests of the people; that we heartily
sympathize with President Cleveland in his
manifest determination to fill the Offices of
the country with honest and capable men;
that we commend his caution, his frmness
and his sagacity; that we believe his hand is
strong, his heart true and his courage will
not fail that we assure him of our abiding
faith in him and pledge him our steadfsst
support with confident expectation that the
Americans will rally around him and enable
him to Danish corruption from high places
and re-establish wholesome rule, peace and
prosperity throughout all our borders.

FROM DRESDEN.
The Second Day Of the keanebec valley
Campmeeting,
Especial to the Kennebec Journal. ]

Special to the Kennebec Journal
DRESDEN, Aug l9.
At the campmeeting is found aa increasing
interest Qdite & number have come to the
altar seeking fusgivness of sins. Others are
obtaining full cleansing By deeper work
of grace. one Christian being converted
from the use Of te bscco has received clean
heart and is forever cured from its use. The
use Of tobacco received severe condemna-
ton from several witnesses. Campmeeting
John Allen came upon the ground to-day,
and rs now attending his 359th campmeeting.
Although 80 years old last March he is as
vigorous physically and mentally as many
men at 80 years.
The sermon of the morning was preached
by Rev, c. w. Bradlee of Augusta. Text:
Acts, xx. xiv. but none of these things
moved me-" To be Christian one must be
man of self abandonment; his only business
is to follow his master. Two things are COM
pretended in the text, namely, self forget
fulness and heroic service for God. First put
down over sensitiveness and all manner Of
jealousy and be consistent in all things. In
little things as we'll as in great things. Be
sunny in the home as well as pious in the
prayer meeting. A good man though he
walk the vale of sorrow need not have an un-
happy hour. In the heroic service of God a
Christian moves on undaunted by the fiercest
dangers. Think of the many forgetful of
self and full of holy zeal who have endured
sorrow, pain and death. As Christians we
have opportunities to build stone upon stone
that structure which the eternities will adorn
and not destroy.
At O'Clock Rev. w. NJ Sterling of
Waterville, preached from H. Kings, iv
chap. lst and II verses. Sin and its remedy
Naaman in his leprosy represents the sinner
and his healing in the waters of the Jordan
the sinner saved by Divine grace Naaman
stumbled over the simplicity of the way of
healing presented and desired his own way.
The sinner stumbles over the simplicity of
the way of salvation by faith in Jesus, and
wants TO be saved in some other way except
the simple way.
The evening sermon was preached by Rev.
c. l.. Libby of North Augusta. DIR. Cullis
will come Friday and remain over Sunday.

WILMINGTON. Del. Aug. Iy.
Capt. Wiley and Pilot Curry have been
overhauling the plaster and other debris on
the steamer FELTON,, today. and have found
fragments Of metal belonging to a cobba, a
buncl, of bright twisted wire and a piece of
tin believed to have been the lid of 3 dyna-
mite canister. The cspisters to which such
a lid would belong are one iuch in diameter
and three inches in length, and it would re-
quire several of them TO do the work of the
explosion. The finding of the cobbs clasp is
considered important as corroborating the
statement of a colored passenger. that he saw
a man. whom he described, unhook the
compsnionway door, place cobba behind it
and rehook the door. The government in
spector examined the boiler this morning and
found tubes behind an indenture bent in the
wood. but sound and unbroken.

GREENFIELD, Macs, Aug. 10.
In the superior court, today, the trial of
William Prentiss of Orange for the shooting
of his father came up. About three months
ago Gilbert PrentIss, the father, was drunk
for several weeks. Late at night he entered
his sons house intoxicated and insisted that
his son should fire shot gun at a tin cup
which the old man held on his own head.
The son fired instantly, blowing out the old
mans brains. The defense is that William
did not know that the gun was loaded, in fact
be had been told that it was not, and when
urged by his father thought he would humor
him by pointing the gun at the cup. The
trial was not finished.
