Cheap Half-Bushel Measure.

Cor. Prairie Farmer
A very good measure can be made
from a nail-keg. Pour a half bushel
of any kind of grain into an empty
keg and level it. Mark just above
the grain, and saw it off. Take the
hoop from the part sawn off, and nail
it around the the top of the other
part as a rim to lift by; if one hoop
is not enough put on one over the
other. This makes light and strong
measure for all purposes. Being mar
rover, it is much more convenient to
handle than the ordinary measure ;
especially is this so when emptying
grain into sack. A. G.

ENGLAND AGAIN ALARMED.

The Russians Reported to be Again Be-
coming Aggressive On the Afghan 'FRONT.'
ier--Advancing on ZulfiItLr Pass-A SEN
sation Produced in London.
LONDON, July l5.-The Times this
morning publishes a dispatch from its
special correspondent on the Russo.Af-
CHAN frontier, sent via Teheran, in which
he states that the Russians are becoming
very aggressive and appear intent on
forcing war with the Afghans. The cor
respondent says that the Russian forces
under Colonel Alikhanoff are advancing
en- masse on Zullkar Pass from various
points near the frontier held by the Rus
slams, principally from Sarikhs, and
make but little efforts at concealng their
intentions. The Afghans are much
alarmed by this forward movement, and
exhibit great anxiety lest the Russians
may take possession of the Pass and
march on Herat. They were
determined, however, to oppose any
further advances by the Russians
with all the force at their command.
Should the Russians persist in their
course, bloody conflict can not much
longer be avoided The correspondents
adds that he is firmly of the belief that
Alikhanoff is secretly conniving with the
object of bringing on a fight, and that he
is hoodwinking aud deceivlng the Car
by false reports as to the doings of troops
under his command.
The dispatch caused profound sensa.

marked effect on the various exchanges.

THE DOLPHIN AGAIN.

Ex-Secretary Chandlec Makes Few Re-
marks Anent the Recent Opinion of At
torney- General Garland In the Dolphin
Case.
BosToN, MASS, July l5.-Ex-Secre-
tary Chandler has written to the Journal
In reference to Attorney. General Gar
lands decision, that the contract with
Mr.. Roach to build the Dolphin is void,
that payments to Mr.. Roach are illegal
and may be recovered and that the Gov
eminent should seize and hold the Dol
phin as security for repayment. Mr..
Chandler says:
"Mr. Garland's and Mr.. Whitney's as
sumed fundamental condition of the
statute Is nowhere contained in its terms.
1t appropriates for four ships as recon-
mended by the Naval Advisory Board.
They flnd chat the Board recommended
that the dispatch boat should have sea
speed OF seventeen knots; and then they
say such speed is vital prerequisite to
be absolutely guaranteed In any contract
for construction which may be made, al
though by the express terms Of the law
the designs of the ship, In de-
Gail, were to be made by the
Department, and the contractor was to
have nothing 10 say or do about them.
The proposition is weak and slender,
with no foundation of law or sense to
support it. 1t would seem as If the
newspaper report of Mr.. Garland's opin-
lon must be incorrect. At first he is
made to say OF the clause in the contract
that the ship should be built in accord
ance with the provisions Of the acts Of
Congress:
81 am of opinion that this covenant
bound the contractor as effectively to
make Q ship of a sea speed Of seventeen
knots as though he had agreed to do so
in express words"
But later he says OF the clause which
provides that the contractor shall not be
responsible for failure to develop 2S0.
horse power, If it is not due to defective
workmanship or material:
"The obvious intention of this was to
relieve the contractor of all responsibility
as to the speed and power of the ship,
and therefore, he says 1t follows that the
contract exists between Mr. Roach and
the United States, and that he must pay
DICK all moneys reCelVeu ny nlHn, duu
hand over the Dolphin as security that ne
will"
This reasoning can not be the work OF
good lawyers. II Mr.. Roach did guar
antee speed as effectively as il he had
agreed to do so in express words, the
contract can not be absolutely void be-
cause elsewhere is clause which re-
lieves him from guarantee of horse
power. Let it be noticed that thi
wicked assault upon Mr.. Roach by
two newly fledged Cabinet Minister
revelling in misused power, is perpe
trated solely for the assumed reason tina
the Dolphin has net fifteen knot
sea speed when in fact, on every one o
her several trial trips, she has reached
fifteen knots, and the last trip was mad
at sea in pursuance of the orders of MI
Whitney but Mr.. Whitney, enraged at tn
result, says the sea was not high enoug
and fifteen knots sea speed means seven
teen and half knots, when there is no
ahigh sea, and upon this arbitrary as
sumption the whole fabric of outrag
committed by him is built.

BUSINESS cares will be laid aside tenn

recuperating and preparing for a winter

of his stay will be determined by the con-
dition of public affairs, but he has been
advised to remain away from Washing

Terrible Cutting ARRAY.

DALLAS, Tex, April 2o.-News reached
here yesterday from Mineral Wells of 3
terrible stabbing ARRAY at that place, in
which Green Rowser, aged Is years, was
killed. He was called out of saloon by
five boys, two brothers named Bell, two
cousins named Glenn and a fifth person
named Dave Anglin. Rowser was literally
carved TO death and died instantly, one of
the knife blades penetrating his heart. The
cause Of the cowardly assault is said to have
been derogatory remark made by RoWser
concerning the Bells and the Glenns, which
was reported to them by Anglin. All those
implicated in the crime were arrested and
jailed. A mob is reported to have collected
and demanded them from the officers. A
lynching is feared. All the boys are well
connected and terrible feud between the
friends of the prisoners and their victim
will probably follow.

This has resulted in rise of freight rates.
1t is stated in liberal circles that the ne

to the revival by Russia of questions which
had been regarded as finally settled The
Standard says that despite the apparent
peaceful settlement of the negotiations there
are indications sufficient to warn reasonable
men against the assumption that the storm
has passed. There is no abatement of Rus

ultation of the Muscovite papers in remind

suggest that their statesmen may attempt to

which Gladstone's Cabinet even can tolerate

1t is simply known that in the Cabinet "a
