Brutal Assault.

MAssILLoN, Ohio, Oct. A Jew
minutes before midnight last night,
as Dan Kitchen, one Of the proprie-
tors of the West Side mills, came
out Of a Main street saloon with a
party Of friends, he was struck a vi
olent blow in the face by William
Ames. generally known as Fish
Billy" keeper of West Main street
saloon. The blow felled. him to the
ground, and Billy followed il up by
kicking him repeatedly in the face
and on the body. No provocation
was given at the time for the brutal
assault. Ames was lying in wait
for Kitchen. and no words passed
between them. This afternoon JUS
tice Folger went to Kitchens resi-
dence, took his statement, and pre-
pared legal papers for the arrest of
bis assailant tomorrow on a charge
of assault With intent TO kill.

The South Penn Railroad.

A good deal of unnecessary un-
easiness, says the Altoona Tribune,
grows out Of the fear that if the pro-
posed sale Of unfinished work on the
line of the South Penn is not pre-
vented, by the success Of injunction
suits instituted at Harrisburg, that
railway project win be strangled
forever. Those who labor under
this hallucination imagine that par
ties who are reported to be willing to
paw about five millions of dollars
for the uncompleted tunnels, upon
which large expenditures have been
made, viii leave them TO occupy the
useless position OF being only holes
in the ground" in all future years.
If they do, they will gain little cred
it for sagaciiy, as a comparatively
slight additional expenditure by the
reported purchasers would create
one useful line leading eastward
from Mt. Dallas, the northern ter
minus of the Bedford and Bridge
port to a convenient connecting
point on the Cumberland Valley,
and another useful line leading
westward from some point in Bed
ford or Somerset county, so as TO
form a connection with existing
lines in the coke regions Of south
western Pennsylvania and points ad-
jacent to Pittsburgh. The truth
about the South Penn appears to
be that its completion as part Of a
competing through route between
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia has
been definitely abandoned by its
original projectors, and for such pur-
poses it is dead enterprise. Wheth-
er the Injunction suit fails or sue
ceeds the proposed competing
through route viii! not be establish
ed, because the Vanderbilt interests
that control the western and eastern
connecting limbs of the proposed
new line are determined that it shall
not be established. This decision,
however, viii not prevent the COM
pletion of a very large part OF the
South Penn, az originally surveyed,
by new owners, who will naturally
desire TO employ il in useful To-
cal development, and in promoting
the interests of all the residents
along its line.

An Historic Island.

Ankerxyke House, Buckingham
shire, the ancient house of the Har-
court family. including Magma
Charta Island on or near which
King John signed the bulwark OF
British liberty" in 1915. is snnounc-
Cd for sale early next month The
estate comprises nearly 200 acres,
with a rental of little over f2,OOo q
year. Ankerwyke is in the parish
Of Wraysbury, between Staines and
Datchet, and is celebrated for the
picturesque beauty Of rs trees which
form a conspicuous figure when seen
from the rlver side.
Ankerwyke was once a Benedict
inc priory, founded In honor Of St.
Mary Magdalen by Sir Gilbert Mont
ichet in the reign Of Henry ii. II
was afterwards given by Edward
VI to Sir Thomas Smith, who re-
sided there. OF the monast:c build
ings, according to Murray, only the
ball remains. In the grounds is an
immense yew tree, beneath which,
according to local tradition, Henry
VIII made an appointment with
Anne Boleyn.

A hard drinker, one Of the regu-
lars who hate to go to sleep at night
because it makes the time 80 long
between drinks, was introduced to a
man one day who had recently
bought a saloon in his neighbor-
hood.
"Glad TO know you, sir," said
the new man, shaking hands vigor-
ously.
THANK you; same TO you" was
the reply.

YSe'd or Corn.

Corn is King, undoubtedly. il me
value Of the entire crops produced
of cotton, wheat and corn be reckon
ed. Several times the yield has ex-
ceedei 10000, 900, and now it l.
expected to reach 1900, 600 900 bush
els, and even if only 20 cents per
bushel should be realized by the
producer, less than corn is supposed
to be worth for feeding TO cattle and
hogs. such a crop would be worth
s40O,0OO,0O0. When the country
has produced over 100000 bales OF
cotton thus far,it has not been worth
TO the producer $50 per bale; and
when il has produced over 4OO,0OOs-
900 bushels of wheat, as the Nes-
tern farmers well know, the average
price 70 the producer has not ex-
ceeded Is cents per bushel- Last
year with unusall; large crops, the
Bareau estimate Of the value TO pro-
ducers was about s265, ,0OOOOO Tor
cotton, s33O,000,OO0 for wheat and
se40O00,O00 fol corn. The estl-
mates Of the bureau may perhaps De
rather higher than the actual return
to the producers, but they neTerthe-
less illustrate with sufficient accur-
acy the relative importance Of these
great crops. Hence the reports OF
injury to this most important crop
have been watched with unusual IL
terest-
The Chicago Tribune Of Septem-
Der Ord expressed the belief that the
Southern half Of the corn crop was
out Of danger, but that the Northern
half was in a doubtful condition
very large proportion Of the plants
were still green, the prevailing mois-
ture having kept them back from
maturity, 20 that a severe frost
would be a serious blow TO general
business. Since that date q severe
frost has come in some parts OF the
Northwest, but il is too early to
Judge how fars the apprehended in
Jury has resulted to the corn crop.
The only thing quite certain about
il is that the speculators or ooth
sides will make the most OF all re-
ports favorable or unfavorable 10 the
crop, according 10 their interest.
Dispatches published expressed the
belief, based upon quite extensive
information, that the frost thus far
had proved harmless in the greater
part OF the territory still within the
reach of danger, so that fully three
quarters of the crop might be con-
sidered ont of harms way. Ii 80,
the yield this year will undoubted-
" be the largest on record, even
though late injury should cause it
to fall somew hat below the antici-
pated 2,0O0,0O0O00 bushels.

Cure for piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by
a sense of weight in the back, loins
and lower part ofthe abdomen, caus-
ing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or
neighboriag organs. At times,
symptoms Of indigestion are present,
as hatulency, uneasiness Of the stom-
ach, ect. A moisture, like perspira-
ton, producing very disagreeable
itching, after getting warm, Is com
mon attendant. Blind, Bleeding and

A River Filling Up.

The Sacramento River is now so
filed up with debris washed down
from the mines worked during the
past year that passenger and freight
boats can no longer reach Sacranen-
to. The passengers and freight have
to be transferred TO light draught
barges at the bend in the river be-
low the city. All the grain from the
upper valley ifshipped by water has
to be lightered down if the barges
draw more than three feet. The
shoaling of the river has increased
so rapidly during the last three
years that unless measures are
promptly taken by the government
TO dredge the lower basin thorough
ly there is every probability that
Sacramento City and the great grain
growing valleys Of Northwestern Cal
ifornia will be cut off from water
communication with San Francisco.

Flour and Onions.

II may not be known to some
housewives that if -four is kept in a
closet with onions or cabbage it will
absorb unpleasant odors from them.
You may not notice this until the
-four is cooked, but then you will.
A large chocolate and cocoanut cake
was prepared for a tea party not
long since. II was not tasted until
it was passed at tea time, when the
mistress observed strong onion ia
vor which, though an excellent one
in Its proper place, was here thing
of evil. 1t was discovered that a
basket containing onions had been
left for two days in the store-room
with the -four. and everything, even
the bread baked from this -four had
the onion favor.

The Dude OF the Olden Time.

The American dude of 1900 is
thus described: The pantaloons of a
beau went up to his armpits ; to get
into them was mornings work
and when IN, to sit down was impos-
sible: his hat was too small to con-
tain his handkerchief, and was not
expected to stay on his head. His
hair was brushed from the crown of
his head toward his forehead, and
looked, as satirist ofthat day truly
said, as if he had been fighting an
old-fashioned hurricane backward.
About his neck was spotted linen
handkerchief; the skirts of his
green coat were cut away to a
mathematical point behind.

A Farmer Fatally Stabbed.

HARRISBURG. September 2S.--It is
probable that John P. Hooker, a far.
mer, living about five miles above
Dauphin, will die from a stab receiv-
ed at the hands of resident OF this
city. On Saturday FIVE young men
left Harrisburg with keg of beer,
which they proposed to share with
a number of friends in the country.
On the way they discovered Hooker
and his son on wagon, from which
they tried to violently remove a
bedstead. The elder Hooker knock
ed one OF them down and was stab
bed in the back by another. Hiram
Devenbaugh and Marcy Miller, two
of the young men, have been arrest
ed. The person who did the stab
bing is at large.

abroad about the Crescent City-it

smells arising from the cutters in
the morning knock all the illusions
about magnolia trees and orange
blossoms out of the visitors head,
and after he has had a short exper-
ience with the climate, he sits, with

miserably, and is usually in condi-
ton to pass remarks upon the ro-
mancers of New Orleans which are
