Swindlers.

The following notice has been going
the rounds, and we give it for the bene-
fit of our farmer friends. The parties are
supposed to DO in Pennsylvania. The
story runs thusly;
MEN representing themselves as agents
for seed company sell particular kind
of oats at $40 bushel. They assert that
the grain is Bohemian oats, and that they
grow without hulls, They bind their
company in Ohio to sell for the farmers
twice as many bushels of the crop raised
from the seed as the farmers purchase at
$40 bushel, retaining 25 per cent COM
mission for their trouble. Many farmers
report having bought from ten to twenty
bushels, some paying as much as $500 in
cash, and others giving their notes, pay
able at the nearest National Bank. The
notes are discounted and the rascals de-
part 1t is said their swindling opera
lions will reach $1,000 in Lycoming
county. There is no such company at
Napoleon, Ohio, where the men say their
house is"

In Hot Water.

From time to time this week there APP
peared in the EUery Ecening from the
Knights of Labor and Wilmington Typo
graphical Union No. 1913, statements to
the effects that the Republican was a
child-labor sheet, and that while it pro-
fessed to be in favor of the laboring
classes and organized labor, yet it had in
in its composing rooms boys and girls
to do the work of type setting, ETC., for
which it payed the smallest compensa-
ton. The organizations above referred
to issued a circular on Tuesday, and on
Wednesday they issued second in the
shape of an appeal to advertisers in the
Republican. In the latter circular they
ask that all the merchants who adver-
tise in the paper to withdraw the same,
and a failure to do so will result in the
withdrawal of trade by members of the
organizations. In concluding the circu-
lar, the committee say "the fight has
opened and will continue to the bitter
end"
The proprietors of the Republican are
thus brought face to face with serious
question, and it alone rests with them as
to the ultimate outcome of the boycott
ting war now in progress.

Death of Mrs. Bayard.

Mrs. Louisa Lee Bayard, wife of the
Secretary of State, died at her residence
in Washington at halfpast eight o'clock
Sunday morning. All the members of
her family, with exception of one daugh-
ter, Mrs. Warren, ofBoston, and son,
who is in Arizona, were present when
she died.
Mrs. Bayard was fifty-one years old.
The immediate cause of her death was
congestion of the brain, brought on by
the shock of her daughters sudden death
two weeks ago. For the first week fol-
lowing that event she stood the strain
and excitement quite well, but after that
she was compelled to take to her bed,
and she gradually grew worse from day
TO day. On Thursday of last week con-
gestion of the brain made its appearance.
She was unconscious for twenty-four
hours before her death. For years Mrs.
Bayard had been a confirmed invalid.
Last summer she was very i'll at her
home in Wilmington, with a complica-
ton of diseases of the liver and stomach,
and her recovery at that time was con-
sidered doubtful. During all of last win
Ter she was prevented by i'll health from
appearing in society and her place was
most acceptably filed by her accomplish
ed daughter, whose sudden death shocked
Washington but two weeks ago. 1t was
at Miss Hates solicitation that Mrs. Bay
ard some months since put herself under
DIR. f. A. Gardeners care and under his
treatment her improyent was marked.
During the last six months her health
had been better than for many years.
The funeral was held on Tuesday after
noon, at Old Swedes Church, Whining
ton, and was attended by distinguished
personages from Washington and else
where.

A stable of one of the street railway
companies in New York holds 2,400
horses. Each horse rece ives about eight
pounds of hay day, which is chopped
up fine by cutters run by an eighty-horse
power engine.
To overfeed the baby is to sicken it,
and induce a degree of suffering such as
collie and fatulence. DIR. Bulls Baby
Syrup is the best remedy.
In Iowa they are experimenting with
peaches from northern Oh ma. The
plucky persistence of the great northwest
in pursuit of fruit will certainly have its
reward. Nothing like it was ever known
before.
Don't work a sick horse. Let him take
a rest, treat him well and don't give him
medicine but tone him up with Days
Horse Powder.
We would suggest to the myriads of
sufferers from bilious fever, fever and
ague, indigestion, etc, to use DIR. Bulls

The old laborious method of planting
celery in trenches is now altogether dis

A New stOry-An"owl" Terror.

Henry Freeman, laboring man en-
ployed by German farmer at Squire
Mills, New Haven, Conn, went to the
barn to feed the cattle. AS he opened
the barn door big owl savagely attack
ed him. One of Freeman's nostrils was
cut open, and he received a deep cut in
the cheek. He ran pitchfork through
the owl. The bird spread its wings and
scared alof. Freeman held on to the
handle If the pitchfork. He was carried
up in the air distance of thirty feet.
when the prongs of the fork slipped out
of the OWLS body and the man came
tumbling to the ground. Both legs were
broken. The owl flew away uttering
shrill blasts of triumph.
This comes from section of country
where good stories thrive.

TYRo.

A gentleman living near Cooch's
Bridge, took two ladies out sleighing
some time ago. Everything went nicely
until the party were quite a distance
from home, when they came to where
the track had not been broken. At this
point Billie thought it time to have some
fun, and refused to go further. When
the ladies got out he would go, but the
instant they got in he would stop and
this ended in the ladies' walking home.
We would advise the young man to try
another horse next time.

What We Want.

The Wilmingtonian of last week con-
tanned an article that was null of interest
to newspaper publishers. 1t set forth
that certain charges should be made by
papers, and these charges adopted by all
the papers in this section. 1--WE are sor-
ry to say that some one carried the paper
off or else we would have reprinted the
articlel. 1t has been our idea to get the
papers of the Peninsula to form rules by
which advertising agents and etc, may
be forced to pay living rates to publish
ers. We are with you, Brother snitcher,
all the time on the above subject.

Snow began falling about 8 o'clock on
Wednesday morning, and continued fall
ing until about noon on Thursday, al
most increasingly. The weather was, and
is yet, very cold, the thermometer stand
ing at zero Friday morning The snow
drifted and travel was difficult. The
depth Of snow fall on level was about
twelve inches, and is one of the heaviest
storms Of many years. Considerable work
had to be done on the sidewalks to clear
the snow away. Sleighs were out, but as
the weather is so cold, little sport in the
way of racing has been INDUCED in. The
storm was general, extending all over the
country. In Mexico snow fell to the
depth Of four inches, and the mercury
was l2' above zero. Eighteen inches of
snow fell in Virginia, and travel is very
much delayed. The ground at Washing
ton was covered to the depth of fifteen
inches with the beautiful snow" Re-

West has been very heavy and railroad
