To the Editor Of the Wdtchmdn:-I have
just read the letter of l.. b. b. in the last
WATERMAN. | Judge your correspondent is
not " riled enough to want to vote, or she
would be more friendly to the equal suf-
frage party. The prohibition speakers come
before the country with these assertions
The saloon is great evil in our midst
Its suppression would be national bless
ing. We promise to suppress it if our
candidates are elected. The older parties
dare not do this 1t would be political sui
eide for either of them to ALLEVIATE its liquor
vote. We have nominated for president a
man morally equal and mentally superior
to either of the other candidates and
who has had more experience than both
of them. A democratic annex" says
l., b. b. You are set of cranks and mean
to beat Cleveland and let the republicans
into power" frantically shouts the Georgia
Democrat. Push the tariff question to the
front as much as possible, for when peo-
pies minds are occupied with that they are
not considering questions that njuriously af-
feet our trade, says the leading liquor organ
of New York city. "Oh! your principles are
all right but your party is too small too
amount to anything" says the timid voter
who calls himself temperance man. OF
course the democratic or republican can lick
the prohibition boy nOW, but ten years more
of present growth and they'll be of equal
size and Dhdt them A free-trader has no
business in the republican ranks: his vote
counts for protection. A temperance man is
out of place there his vote is counted for
the interests of the liquor traffic and is
worse than wasted. If this is " third-party
foolishness count me ONE OF THE FOOLS

Don't Kill the Old Hens.

When hens are shedding feathers they
often stop laying and grow fat. Most peo-
pie consider fat a sign of health. The fat
tening of moulting hens, however, as with
some people, produces debility rather than
health. Many of the worst cases of roup
are contracted while the hens are moulting.
The food of moulting hens if largely vege-
table is fat-forming, and not required for
growing feathers. Therefore corn-fed hens
get very fat. They need more nitrogen
and phosphate elements in their food when
moulting, which if not supplied they stop
laying, because the growing feathers have
used all and left no heterogeneous matter to
form eggs AT this season killing old hens
and relying on young pullets is great mis-
take where people have few hens and
late pullets, because if properly fed the
hens will have their new plumage and lay
well all winter, while the pullets, unless
specially treated, may not commence laying
until spring, when high prices for eggs have
fallen one-haf. Again, an old hens egg
will hatch more vigorous chicken than
pullet's egg John Il. Jones, Sufiield, Conn,
a breeder of priZe-winning notified Javas,
saws: " | find Sheridan's Condition Powder
fed once daily in the food very valuable
for moulting hens. | have used il two
years for exhibition birds. 1t assists in
growing new feathers, makes the combs
bright red and gives rich gloss to the
plumage 1t will also make hens lay and
the eggs hatch well. | find when other egg
foods are used in quantities to force egg
production the eggs do not hatch" The
above is the experience of many people in
using Sheridan's Powder. If fed to young
pullets now as directed they will begin to
lay before six months old. Commence at
once using Sheridan's Powder. 1t helps
old hens through moulting and gets the
pullets in laying trim before the season of
high prices. Eggs will sell very high this
fail and winter. Therefore be ready to get

information how to make few hens pay

BLACK SILKS

tariff issue. His speech was eminently a
vote-winning speech. TWAS an appeal to the
common sense by the use of legitimate ar
gument, and though full of fire and earnest
ness, was not tainted with particle of sar-
casm or abuse Mr. Dilingham's historical
analysis of the causes which eventually led
to England's adoption of the free-trade
policy was as convincing as the line of
thought was new to his hearers Nothing
less than verbatim report would do jus
tice to a speech in which thought followed
upon thought so closely in logical sequence.
His greeting was a very warm one Citi-

Black FaiIIe Francois,
Black Pean de Sole,
0rap de Flor,
Rhadames, MerveIIieux,
Armure Royal,
Surah and eros Grain.

Black Faille Francois is easily
the leading Silk for fashionable
dresses for either church, street
or house-wear, and our line
is complete from SI.oo per
yard through all the numbers,
widths, grades and best makes
up to $500 per yard.
All our makes are from man
ufacturers who stand behind
their productions and guarantee
them against whatever a Silk
may be to blame for in the way
of poor wear.
Black Pean de Sole bids fair
to rival the Faille in popularity
for a rich dress Silk, either for
an evening or dinner dress.
We have completed the pur-
chase of beautiful line of the
Peau ae Sole, and they are now
on our counters. For richness
and beauty Of fN1Sh we have
never seen them surpassed in
any BLACK SILK of high
grade goods.
The prices run from SI,25
to $3.50 per yard.
The Black Rhadames will of
course hold their own against
any other Black Silk fabric, as
almost every lady can attest to
the splendid wearing qualities
of this ever-popular Silk.
The prices range from 75c
to $500 per yard.
Black eros Grain, as we all
know, never goes out of style,
and the beauty and finish of
the different makes this fall has
not been approached before,
and all makers are producing
a better class of goods than
heretofore.
We have our leading Re
gatta, as well as Guinet, Bon
net, Bellon, etc, in all prices.
They are mode, and we guar
antee them to be the lowest.
BLACK MORE,
for skirts, combinations, pan
els, fronts and waist garniture,
continue to be the leading
fabric, and with the revival of
Brocades we will show a most
complete line of fancy Black
Silks, which, with the plain
black, makes our Black Silk
department MORE ATTRACTIVE
THAN EVER.
Write us for samples, or any
information you may desire.
Your letters will receive our
prompt attention.
We have a thoroughly or
ganized department to attend
to all letters of inquiry, or for
samples or the filling of orders.
We guarantee to please you.

Two men, Fred Provoncha and Peter Per-

drowned week ago last Saturday. At last
reports their bodies had not been found.
The stream in which they lost their lives
is small one, but had become much swollen
by the late rains. One of the men went out
upon the new dam to dislodge some
Lockwood, lost his footing and was not
seen after he fell into the water. The other
jumped in below the dam to rescue his
