4 Failure.

At negro baprizing the other day, old
Flat Foot Dan. who having renounccd
the world, the flesh and the devil, was a
candidate for salvation, came forward and
applied for cleansing dip. The preacher
"A very small man. took Dan straightway
down into the watr. Dan, with his mind
fixed on things moi of this earth. did not
observe that he was taking the preacher
bry"nd his depth. Dan did not feel the
gentle hand ofresiraint, neither did he
hear the warning voice, but e heard a
shout which the terrified congregation sent
up. Looking around, and not seeing the
preacher, Dan, in surprise, exclaimed:
Look hear, whar dat preacher!''
Under the w:,terl'' some one shouted.

The preacher was rescued. After he
had revived he told Dan that he was

Early Chickens.

To raise early chickens successfully, and
with profit. requires not only a good lOca-
ton, but house that is well adapted 10
the business; and even then failure viii
be the rule unless the person who is 10
care for the hens and chickens is adapted
to the business, and is deeply interested in
it. Chicks that are to be hatched out as
early, will not bear the slightest neglect.
TO have them strong and healthy, the
greatest care must be taken 10 prevent the
eggs, while in process of Matching, from
being chilled. Sometimes the exposure of
the eggs for ten minutes TO cold atmos-
phere will effect the health of IL coming
chick; therefore it is imp Irtant that, dur,
ing the winter, the hens be set in tight
building where the temperature will be
very quiet. When more than one hen is
set, it is always best to keep them seperate
for, if permitted to come together, they
will frequently both try to sit on one nest,
leaving the eggs in the other neglected;
but if each hen has small enclosure to
herself, she is much less likely to refuse to
sit on her eggs than if permitted to roam
where she pleases, and where other hens
have been set.
In warm, we'll arranged house chicks
may be hatched ont in winter almost as
we'll as in warm weather; but the trouble
comes after the chicks are hatched. If
they happen to hatch out in zero weather
they must be very closely looked after or
they will get chilled. If they are kept in
building artifcially heated great care must
be taken not to overhead it, for a chick will
die By being kept in confined, heated air.
almost as quick as by very cold air; there
fore, while it is very important that the
room where the yonng chicks are to be
kept during the first week should be warm,
it Is equally important that il should be
thoroughly, ventilated. After the chicks
are week old they will endure the cold
better, ami if they are to be kept healthy
they must have the fresh air every
day, and, above all, plenty of sunshine.
A house that is not so constructed as to
have covered yards, where the chicks can
stand in the sun and yet be sheltered
from the cold winds, is not what it should
be.
Whatever is TO be fed to chick that is to
be moistened with water, should be fed
while warm, and what is not eaten at once
should be removed; to be again warmed
before given to the chicks. for even in
warm weather it is not good policy to
keep moistened food Before chicks, if any
food is to be left it is should be dry, crak.
ed corn or millet seed. When the chicks
are several weeks old they should have
whole corn, wheat. barley oats. etc.
Never try to raise early chicks unless
you ike the business, are well located and
have the proper Observation-Disclosures

Township Organization.

With the view of aholishlng town.
ship organization In Charlton county,
a petition has been filed in the coun-
ty clerks office asking the county
court to order an election at the
general election in November on
that question.
The county court has, as yet, taken
no action on the subject as it had
information that other petitions were
in circulation for the same purpose.
Most likely no order for an election
will be made till the August term of
the court, which will give the people
ample time to discuss the question,
look into its merits, and vote intelli-
gently on the subject. No doubt the
system has some advantages over the
old system, but it has some disad-
vantages also, one of the last is hav-
ing so many assessors with various
views as to the valuation of property.
some of whom are very low in their
estimates, while others are higher,
and as a result give the board OF
equalization an extensive job equali-
zing. The assessment too, is more
expensive by several hundred dol
lars than was the old way, but col
lection of taxes, have from some
cause, always been a little closer
under the township system.
Let the people be fully persuaded
In their own minds in reference 10
what is best for the general good and
vote accordingly.

for reelection, and John Stokes spoke for
him. Said he:
"Fellnw Citizens: stand here within

When he had finished grandiloquent
speech with his beginning he was followed
by old man Allen, who spoke in humor-

AN ENDORSEMENT WITH A STRING
TO lit.

The Democrats of Alturas, like
those of the whole country, find it
very difficult to make the remainder
of their platform accord with the de.
claration of approval of President
Cleveland which they feel bound to
put forth as its initial plank. With
inward anguish aud bitterness OF
spirit the course Of the "frst Demo.
cratic President in twenty four years
is approved, for it cannot be con-
ceded by them that they are sorely
afflicted in mind, body and estate be-
cause the hungry and the faithful were
not turned in pell-mell to the public
crib, without any odious civil service
bars to hinder their feeding,
The Alturas Democrats swallowed
whole the dish prepared by the Terri
torial Convention, but it evidently
made them sick; and after much
wretching and gripping they sought to
get relief by using the following:
Resolved, That all candidates pledge
themselves, If nominated and elected,
not to employ Republicans for a
longer period than three months.
Actions speak louder than words,
and the adoption of this resolution
brands their unqualified Endorsement
of President Cleveland as insincere.
The way of the citizen who is strict
party man under any and all circum-
stances is hard indeed.

EVIDENTLY A "BLUFF. -

We sec by dispatch to the Salt
Lake Tribune that the Chollar, Hale
and Norcross and Savage lower levels
are to be flooded, owing to the refusal
OF the Savage trustees to pay one
third of the expense of working the
pumps of the Combination Shaft
which has been sunk from the surface
to its present depth of $3.50 feet at
the joint expense of the three mining
companies named.
This is probably only "bluff," de-
signed to cause shaky holders to let
60 of their stock in those mines. An
extensive ore body was discovered in
the Hale and Norcross and Chollar
mines, on the 1000 and lower levels,
two years ago. Another ore body,
which has already yielded more than
$4,000 worth of bullion, was also
discovered in the Savage, on the 600
level. The fact of these discoveries
having leaked out, investors have
eagerly purchased shares in those
mines, and they persist in holding
them, Notwithstanding repeated as.
sessments.
This is probably the cause Of this
move, which amounts merely to a
"bluff." IL the lower levels of the
mines are closed at all, it will not be
for a very lengthy period. But, in
the meantime, the bonanza on the coo
and 700 levels of the Savage will be
developed and exploited, and as divi
dends will soon follow, the price o
Savage shares will be greatly en-
HANGED.
