Early Pastures.
Homestead.

homestead.
We notice on some large farms in Madison
county the cattle turned on grass April 18th.
In all cases it was the blue grass pastures on
cheap, rough lands, lands never turned by the
pillow, We think it rather early and not the
advantage of the cattle, but they will find
plenty to live on. 1t is a strange thing that
farmers further east will persist in going three
hundred miles west and pay higher prices for
lands that have not half the grass value Of
these.
We have studied this matter carefully for
many years, and we are firmly convin ced that
the best and most reliable pastures are those
that have been seeded on the raw prairie.
Andyet men will go of, buy lands at high
prices, break them up, make bare living
raising grain fora few years, and then spend
five more years trying to get blue grass pas
ture and when they have succeeded as they
think, fall short Of the success that nature Of
fered them to start with. II the energy that
is employed in breaking up a farm in new
country were employed in grading up cattle
on a native prairie well seeded with blue grass
and tramped in on those rough lands seeded
by nature, it would bring q two-fod recon-
pence. After these lands have been set in
blue grass few years and man is crazy
enough to plow them up he can raise corn
to his hearts content and will probably be
looking for somebody to kick him for fool
the rest of his life.
The blue grass region of Iowa is destined tc
become as famous as the blue grass region OF
Kentucky, when men learn to know a good
thing when they see it. And yet these lands
| in the Central Iowa go begging at from six to
ten dollars per acre.

A Story Of Tom COrWin.

From the New York Tribune.
Stories of Tom Corwin Of Ohio, are being
told again. | recall one that / heard years
ago in college town in Ohio, where Corwin
struggled with Greek roots and Latin conju-
cations for winter or two. 1t was, like many
of the college towns in the West, religious
center, the institution being supported by
UNCONVENTIONAL contributions. There were
the usual winter revivals, when It was the
extreme effort to bring mall the new students
as converts. Corwin was swept in with the
tide. In four or five weeks he backslid. One
of the fathers of the church went to him to
counsel him, and in the course OF their con-
ference wanted to know why he had fallen
from grace Corwin had an enormous mouth,
which when it was open was as huge in its
way as an alligator's. He said he had been
insulted by Deacon Smith. The good brother
asked for further explanation. SWELL" said
Corwin, "when stood up at the back OF the
leeture-room to relate my experience and OPP
ened my mouth, Deacon Smith rose up in
front and saws: will some brother please
close that window and keep it closed""

The Mormon Temple at Kirkland.

The national conference Of the Latter Day
Saints, recently in session at Lamont, Iowa,
adjourned to meet next April at Kirkland, o.
the building of the temple at that place by
Joseph Smith and Others was begun in 1898,
four years after the organization of the church
at Palmyra, N. Y. 1t was at Kirkland that
the colony which settled at Far West Mo,
was organized, and it was at Kirkland that
Brigham Young was advanced to the apostle
ship. The Kirkland temple was completed in
1886. The mutations which soon after follow
ed left the temple tenantess for SANITY wor-
ship for many years. In 1871, however, Will
liam Marks conveyed to Joseph Smith as sole
trustee the land on which the temple had been
erected. Later on it appears that The Utah
branch of the church had assumed ownership
of the property, and thus the title rested till
February, 1880, formal hearing was had in
the common pleas court for Lake county, o. ;
in a cause entitled the "Reorganlzed church
of Jesus Christ, of Latter Day Saints" VS.
Lucien Williams, Joseph Smith, Sarah F.
Videon, Mark II. Forscott, the church in
Utah Of which John Taylor, president OF said
church, defendants, claiming that pretend
ed conveyance by one Holcomb as administra-
tor was fraudulent, and asking that it be set
aside. All the defendants defaulted except
Sarah F. Videon. Judge Sherman in pro-
nouncing the decree held practically that in
asmuch as the Utah church had departed
widely from the tenets of the early faith
this had worked an abandonment OF its inter-
est in the property. the decree further an
nulled the conveyance made by Holcomb, and
placed the title to the property IN plaintiff,
and thus It comes about that the orthodox
Latter Day Saints are to hold their national
conference in the first temple erectet by mem
bers of the faith.

Celestial Shovel-MakerS.

You may say said leading Front
street merchant to reporter, that the
American hardware trade is flourishing
like a green bay tree. The value of
what is strictly known as hardware in
this country last year amounted to near
ly S60,0O0,O00 Of which nearly half was
made in Connecticut. If you include
small firearms, agricultural imple-
ments, cut-nails, and ornamental IRON
work, which l consider hardware,
though many do not the total value of
the American production will reach
800, 900. English, French, and
German manufacturers send us about
$4,000, 900 worth Of hardware yearly.
We have, however, lost one source of
revenue, and it makes a funny story.
The Chinese have got ahead of us. Up
to last year we had monopoly Of sup
plying the Chinese with iron shovels.
| Owing to our facilities for transporta-
ton we could undcrsell our English
brethren. Now the Chinese are making
their own shove}s and underselling us,
The manufacture is carried on at place
called Chefoo, near Shanghai, and hun
dreds of men and boys are engaged in
the business. What do you think the
Chinese make the shovels from? Olo
boiler tubes are cut into short cylinders
just the length of the shovel, ripped
open, heated, tlattcned out, and ham,
mered into shape. The shovels are
taken into the interior of the country
on the backs of mules, and our adyices
state that nearly every Chinese cottager
within radius of from two to three
hundred miles around Shanghai is sup.
piled with one. The Chinese makers
sell their shovels mt from 20 to 40 cents
each, according to size and quality.
However, the supply of old boiler tubes
may become exhausted, and then we
Yankees will have clear corner on the

crs had severe setback some years ago
because of -the deterioration in the
quality of the brew, but they realized
their mistake before it was altogether
too late, and have now more than re-
covered their lost ground Ordinary

equal to two barrels. Ale costs less to
make than lager, so this price is pro-
portionately greater.
Some of the New York brewers have
tried to introduce the English system
of controlling their interest in saloon
by taking a mortgage on it. Every
week from twenty to forty chattel
mortgages to brewers are recorded on
saloon fixtures. The system has only
been partly successful on account of
the ease with which a mortgage can be
changed here.
The best-paying line of the brewing
business is in exporting and shipping,
of which the New York brewers con-
troll large share. In Cuba, Mexico,
the West Indies, and elsewhere, lager
beer is crowding out English ale. I'm
til recently New York and western
brewers found a valuable market in the
south, but since the invention of ice
machines new breweries have been built
in all the chief centers of the southern
states, and outside brewers have been
forced to find other outlets for their
surplus stock.
The competition in other large cities
is just as keen as in New York, and the
trade is in much the same condition
everywhere. Fortunately brewing ma
terials are now very cheap, hops in
particular being 5 cents below the cost
of production. Some brewers 90 to the
length of saying that the present strug-
gle can only end in the survival of the
tittest," and the trade generally is dis
posed to await developments before
further increasing its facilities. At the
same time it is universally admitted that
the brewing trade of the United States
is still in its infancy, and that eventual
ly the biggest breweries and the best
beer will be found on this side of the
Atlantic. -NelO York Star.

Was Lincoln a Fatalist2

ohm A. Bingham In Chicago Current.
In October, 1864, letter was inadvertently
dropped in street car In New York city, by
John Wilkes Booth, who afterwards assassi-
mated Abraham Lincoln. This letter was i'm
mediately forwarded to the War Department
by General Dix, and placed in Mr.. Lincoln's
possession. 1t disclosed the fact Of an organ
lied conspiracy to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln,
Mr.. Lincoln Endorsed upon the envelope COW
ering this letter the word ASSASSINATION,
signed 1t "a. Lincoln,n and filed it in his
desk, where it was found after h is death and
delivered to me with the envelope and in
dorsement Of Mr.. Lincoln thereon, and was
read by me on the trial Of his assassins.
His able and faithful War Secretary, Mr..
Stanton, demonstrated with him against his

Mr.. Lincoln replied: sit is impossible 10 es

The Labor Strikes.


An idea of the relative frequency of labor
disputes and strikes can DO formed from the
census report on that subject by Mr.. Joseph
d. Weeks. In the year 1880, the number Of
strikes and lockouts In the United States as
762. But this year a mere review of those
mentioned in the news papers shows that the
number was much greater during the first four
months Of the year. In 1880 about 100000
men appear to have been. engaged, estimating
the strikes of which the number was not re-
ported and the loss to the men in wages was
over Sl3,0O0,000. This year things are NOV
ing at a rate which involves to the working
population loss Of over $40, 900, 900 yearly,
distributed among 100000 workers, though
Of course it is to be hoped that the same
state Of things will not continue an entire
year. But the loss in the census year would
have sufiiced to support throughout the whole
year $4,000 families, so that it would have
been actually cheaper for organized labor to
keep that number of men in idlencss the
whole year than to resort to strikes as a means
of settling their disputes As for this year,
the entire cost of the army aud navy of the
United States for the fiscal year ending June
so will probably be less than the loss of labor
resulting from these unwise meth DDS.

NY work (shipsmithing) was very straining on
me with my weak constitution, and was rap
idly going TO the grave. While in this condi-
ton commenced using Mlshler's Herb Bitters,
and it saved my life. Because 1t was so din
cult to get it in this little place, and had inn
proved SO much, stopped taking 1t for
time, and the result is I have commenced
going rapidly down hill again. Somehow,
Mishler's Herb Bitters gives appetite and
strengthens and builds up as nothing else does
and must have dozen bottles Ut once. Use
this communication as you please, and IL any
one wants to be convinced OF Its truth, let
