DOWN WITH THE ANARCHISTS.

The wires which have for months
been burdened with matters that have
caused grave apprehensions within
the breasts of every true citizen of
America, are now bearing the tale of
blood and death. The loud-mouthed
threats, and the incendiary teachings
of the imported anarchists who have
been permitted for years to publicly
defy patriotic sentiments, are bearing
their legitimate fruits. Herr Most
and his gang and all their disciples
should be summarily dealt with. Ev-
erybcdy has said this but these we're
suffered to proceed with their damna-
bic work of poisoning the minds of
the ignorant. Iftheir heads had been
promptly pulled from their worthless
shoulders America would not only
have been spared the humiliation Of
this day but many innocent women
and children would not now be wailing
the death of loved ones. In the pres
ence of such a calamity the discus
sion of all mere social and labor
questions should be relegated until
murderers and aseassins have been
swung from convenient posts and
limbs. America has opened her arms
to the world, to the oppressed Of all
lands, but she must crush these dem
ons of blood and rapine- Law and
respect for life must be Immediately
brought triumphant ont of all this
disorder and social choas. The law
makers, the executives, the people
must all rise equal to the occasion and
with relentless hand weed out this
evil, or accept government which is
not of the people. The time has come
when imported sneaks and assassins
can no longer faunt their devilish rot
tenness in the face of the public.
There is not and can be no middle
ground. 1t is astonishing that red
flags should have been permitted on
the streets OF Chicago; astonishing
that skulls and cross-bones should be
allowed to stand up animated by the
free air of America, and advocate pub
licly assassination and inccndiarism,
bat such are the facts. The revolver,
the knife, and dynamite and all talk Of
q resor: TO them must be wiped out
and silcnced. There remains no
longer any question touchin. the
matter. Chicago is probably the
most loyal, the most patriotic of all
the large cities on the continent. and
vet her streets are red with blood, her
homes darkcncd by the overt act and
the internal appliances and methods
of the assassin. Had the same thing
occurred IN New York, her avenues
would have run red with the blood of
the victims.
Down with the anarchists!

INFLUENZA IN SHEEP.


simple Remedies for the Cure Of ~
Tro1blssoms Complaint.
In reply to correspondent we would
say that influenza in sheep Is not in
fictitious. 1t Is often supposed to be
because it depends upon conditions
that are apt to exist over wide range
of territory and hence many sheep may
be affected at the same time. 1t is an
Inflammation of the membranes of the
nose and bronchial passages. The eyes
are red and watery, more or less fever
Is present, there is marked weakness
and the system generally is out of Or
der. The animal has no appetite, tic
nose runs, there is cough, indigestion
and impactiOn. After cold and damp
weather, it Is observable frequently,
and is always more severe on low, wet
undrained land. When sheep are
upon such land and are attacked.
they should be removed to higher
and dryer land. When possible they
should be given oil-meal. Again We
desire to say that oil-meal is one Of the
best things in the world to feed to
sheep. 1t is not only good food, but 10
is good medicine, rs it acts as . tonic
and keeps the bowels and digestion in
order. II oil-meal is fed feed it with
oats or rye or buckwheat. If the dis.
ease assumes o severe character give
the following purgative: EPSON salts
half ounce, ginger one dram. Give 10
in q little water, say quarter of q pint.
If . flock is affected mix the medicine
in bulk according to the above pre-
scription and, taking horn, adj
minister quarter of pint to each
animal. If any are very seriously af-
fected they will need something to ale
lay the fever quickly and to stimulate.
In such cases administer the following:
tincture of aconite, ten drops; solu-
ton of acetate of ammonia, one
ounce. This ought to be given every
five hours, but the aconite should be
decreased by one drop at every dose
until not more than five drops are
given.
Sometimes the eyes are so much in
famed that they require treatment, and
should be washed with solution OF one
grain Of sulphate of zinc and twenty
drops OF laudanum in an ounce OF wa
ter. When the disease has disappeared
feed loosening and very nutritious
foods, such as bran mashes, boiled
oats and a little corn mush occasional.
w. The stimulants will need to be
Kept up in some shape, and in the food
sprinkle q little powdered ginger OF
gentian, or administer in honey, If the
medicine is not readily taken by the
animal in its food Keep well sheltered
while treating the animal with this dis
ease.- Western Rural.

Leaning against the side of a window
in No. 81, in the dim light of the
turned-down gas, seeming only a deep
er and denser and darker shadow than
that Of the heavy curtains themselves,
was the weary figure Of young w0m-
an. Even seen at this disadvantage
one could but feel the witchery Of a
rare and loveable presence, rendered
dOubly attractive BY the fact, which
half-lights and shadows could not con-
ceal, that she was in sore distress that
she was fighting one Of those battles
which all Of us must sometimes fight,
and fight alone. And yet for her it
seemed q cruelty hard and unnatural
thing that some knight, as Of old,
should not do brave battle and win the
victory.
Indeed, if you had seen Miss Eggle-
ston as l have seen and known her,
fearless and leal, you might have put
the facts in more elegant phrases; but
the kindlier and better chosen your
words the less cause would you have
had to regret the hopeless poverty Of
the language in what might have been
your glad duty to say of or for her.
With a sigh that bravely tried not to
be sob, she said softly to herself:
"Oh, my dear! You were true and
noble and good. How could l have

Presently she, too, pressed "ont
