of farm products that can he transported

produces when it is impossible to use teams
on the farm, and the fact that two horses
can do as much hauling as is now done
with four, thereby reducing the number
of horses necessary to conduct ones Opa-
rations, all of which-to say nothing of the
great comfort to man and beast; will put
money, very much more Of il, into the
farmers pocket, than the tax collector
will take out for road purposes.
Brother farmers, good roads will pay;
the situation appeals to your county pride;
we have three great railroads passing
through our county, and our county roads
are in such condition that we can scarcely
get to them. Do not rest satisfied with
patch work, but build your roads prompt
ly and substantially, then we Can say that
we have more railroads and better county
roads than any county in the State. You
can point to 20 ur county with pride and
Justly claim her to be the Empire County
of the State.
Do you want capital to seek you, then
make good roads. No man wants his
money buried in the mud. One of our
best citizens recently left the county, be-
cause he despaired of ever seeing the twelve
miles of road between bis home aud Stadn-
ton improved.
If you want to sell, good roads will aid
you, if you do not, they will add to your
CO mtort and put money in your pocket.

The strsst Car Strike.

ST. LOUIS, October 21.-The startling
development in the street car strike to-
day, was the discovery by the police of
an internal machine on the Washing
ton Avenue tracks, corner of Compton
Avenue and Morgan Street. The ma
chine was piece of two-inch gas pipe,
two feet long. filled with gunpowder.
At either end was affixed gun caps, so
arranged as to communicate with the
powder within, and in the centre of the
pipe a rod was inserted, which also com
municated with the powder. The ma
chine was laid along the groove in the
track, and so arranged that the wheel
of the car would discharge the cap as
soon as it was touched. The gas pipe is
now at the police headquarters. The
strikers and Knights of Labor had
stated they would put on lines of

WASHINGTON, October 21.-The terms
of service of Commander J. G. Walker,
as chief of the bureau of navigation
and Commodore Montgomery Seckard,
as chief of the bureau OF ordinance in
the Navy Department, will expire to-
morrow. Both officers will, however,
be reappointed for another term of four
years. Secretary Whitney is in favor
of rotation among naval officers, but
these cases are notable exceptions TO
that rule, on account of the excellent
service rendered by them. and their
entire mastery of the duties of their
respective bureaus.
Commodore Walker is next to the
Secretary In the management OF affairs
of the Department. He has charge of
the details of all officers and his services
could not well be dispensed with. Com
modore Sickard's knowledge of or
dnance matters is considered Invaluable

Chinese in washington Territory.

Nh1heSe IN Washington AerrlbOHJ.
WASHINGTON, October 2l.- Governor
Watson Squire, of Washington Terri
tory, has sent a special report to the
Secretary of the Interior, upon the anti
Chinese agitation in the Territory. The
governor saws there has been much
agitation on the subject of forcing Chi
nese residents oleave the country, par
ticularly in the counties bordering on
Puget Sound. Several public meetings
have been held, at which were present
delegates of the Knights of Labor, and
violent incendiary speeches were made.
The principal point for these demon
STATIONS has been at Seattle, and there
has been great deal OF agitation at
Tacoma. Thus far there has been no
outbreak, although serious trouble has
of killing Chinese hop pickers, near
Seattle, have been arrested, and one is
now in Jail under indictment for
murder in the first degree. Strong eff
forts have been made to intimidate
Chinese employees at Franklin and New
castle coal mines, and many Chinese
are leaving. These places are now
quiet, but the coal companies are an
Xious in regard TO the safety of their
property. The Chinese consul at San
Francisco was informed that the per
sons accused of numbering the Chinese
had been arrested. The Governor says
it has been his desire to maintain order |
without an employment of troops and a !
strong organization of the better class |
of citizens at Seattle has arrayed itself |
under the law for the preservation of |
peace. The situation has been improY- |
ing from day to day, and tits concluded |
that no necessity exists for calling upon
the military. If. serious trouble arises |
the Secretary will be notified by tel |
egraph and, If troops should be re-
quired, there is ample force at Van
couver Barracks within a few hours of
the disturbed locality.

YOUNG CALVES.
Considerations with Respect to their Feed
and Genera. Condition.

Considerations with Respect to their Feed
and Genera. Condition.
The feeding of young calves is now a
timely subject for consideration. Full
feeding up to the point of perfect diges-
ton and assimilation should be the aim.
1t is easy to discover when this point is
reached. The condition of the bowel
discharge is an accurate test. AS soon
as the dung has an offensive odor diges-
ton is impaired, and either the food is
given to excess or the character of it is
not healthful. As a rule sour food is not
wholesome for calves. If one goes to
the cattle markets and visits the calf
pens, the "buttermilk calves" are read
lily found by their filthy odor. The
calves may be plump and appear all
right, but the contrary will soon appear
when a purchaser gets them home. The
fasting will soon affect injurlously the
soft, haccid unhealthy flesh, and the
calves will fail in serious manner, and
time and food will be wasted in bring
ing them into condition again. This
experience should warn the owners of
calves to study carefully the feeding,
and to use only the best of food. 1t is
easy to have sweet milk for the calves,
and it will pay to warm this to 900. At
this time calves are sufficiently advanced
to take a considerable ration of the meal,
but the full feeding of this should be
cautiously reached by gradual increase
of the ration from a small and safe guam
tity. The moment diarrhea occurs feed
ing should stop for forty-eight hours,
and then small doses of hot sweet milk
only should be given.-N. Y Times

Ruling Passion Strong in Death.

What typical story is that of the
Tupinamba woman brought up by the
Jesuits of Paraguay, of whom, when
she lay a-dying, her confessor asked :
Now, what would you fancy-some
fresh oranges, or half chicken, or a
slice of white bread such as the mobiles
eat ?" She was great pet of the good
fathers; she had been so docile, such
model Christian. They had had her
ever since she was child, and her
conduct had always been edifying.

went back to the wars between her

to him, tame and unlnteresting feats

his own weapon.

said, "but I'll show you something that
is shooting"
He pulled the cork out of flask which
he drew from his pocket, and handed it
to Broncho BERTHE.
"Stand up, Bronchor' he said, and
the child took a position about thirty
PAGES distant, against the gnarled trunk
of live oak tree. She faced us with
flashing eyes, and her cheeks crimsoned
with excitement. Placing the little cork
on top of the mass of tangled curls
which covered her head she folded her
