Latent Disease.
Many Of the most famous breeds Of sheep
and cattle have arisen through tie accl-
dental appearance Of some striking peculi-
arity ct structure, which has BEEN PRESERVE
by careful selection and breeding. Thus the
well known Ancon or otter breed OF sheep,
now extinct, arose in the last century in
Massachusetts, by the accidental birth Of a
ram with crooked legs and hong back like \
turnspit- These peculisrities rendered him
unable 70 leap fences. and as this was a point

A Boston letter says: North Eas.
ton, where the great shovel facto.
ries of the Ameses are, is a place
which you might describe as an
ideal manufacturing town. do not
know how many people are on the
payroll Of the shovel company, but
there are certainly several hundred.
You go to the little town, of which
this is the chief industry, and you
find everywhere, not simply the
neatness of a barrack village, but
the prettiness, with the comfort,
which you ask for in ideal country
life. The village church is one OF
the prettiest churches you can see
anywhere; the town hall and pub
lie library are models for anybody
to study and behind all these there
are funds for maintaining lectures
and concerts and entertainments,
and for keeping the schools up to
the highest grade. The town, OF
course, votes dead against liquor,
so that you see simply prosperity
on every side.

Allison, Hoar, Hawley, ingalls,, and
Riddeberger, the last named max
ing two speeches. The line Of op

by Democratic Senators. The vOt
ing began at 3 o'clock, but was in

A Child Born with Two Heads.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Jan. H.
The report or the birth ola two.
headed child near Princeton, Ind,
on Monday last, has been fully yeri
fed. The child was born to the
wife of Henry Wilson, a farmer
living four miles from that city. 1t
had two wellfOrmed heads, one
Just behind the other, and weighed
twelve pounds. The straDgest
feature about it was that the heads
were covered with hair three inches
IN length. The front head was
more perfectly formed as to fea.
lures than the one behind, which
had only an indlstinct nose and
mouth. The child lived a few
minutes only. Certain parties are
trying to secure it for preservation
and exhibition in a museum, but
the mother is unwilling it should
be placed to any such use.

NEBRASKA CITY, NEB., Jan. 10
The thermometer registered Is
below zero last night. Two deaths
from freezing are repOrted-Emll
Grossman, a farm labOrer, neat
Peru, and a child Of a farmer IN the
Hendricks precinct.
HELENA, MONT, Jan. l5.-This
morning the thermometer registered
10 degrees below zero. The high
est point reached during the day
was % below. At Belgrade, east
of here, it was 80 below Friday
night. Railroad traffic is still sus-
pended.
ST. PAUL, MIMI, Jan. 1G.-The
terrible storm which has swept over
the Northwest blOckadlng railroads
IN five states is now over and the
victims Of its fury are being count.
ed. The pltiful list IS growing al
most every hour. 1t will show a
hundred lives sacrificed to the aw-
ful fury of the blizzard. The cas-.
ualtIes among stock have been
greater than ever known in the
state of Kansas. Horses and cat
tie have persisted in their stalls and
the owners have been badly frozen
while attempting to care for them.
On the Missouri Pacific railroad
two train loads of cattle coming in
from the west were caught in
the blizzard and every animal
was frozen to death. AS most Of
the cattle on tAe western range of
the Indian Territory are new Texas
stock, the loss will be very great,
they being unused to such low tenn
peratHre. The temperature drop
ped in some instances at the rate Of
20 to % degrees an hour, until solid
ice was formed. Much suffering
exists among the poor, as in many
cases fuel is almost out of their
reach.

Advocates OF free.trad are ever
fond of parading their solicitude for
the workingmen as an argument in
favor of their theories. But here
comes Mr.. George w. Childs and
upsets their whole applicant. No
one will charge Mr.. Childs with be
ing a grasping monOpolist, and ev.
erybody will readily concede that
he is one of the most considerable
employers in this country. When,
therefore, he favors protection, no
improper or selfish Interior purpose
can be attributed to him. In re-
cent conversation he said:
"There IS one thing that the army
Of workers in this country ought to
remember. This nation is the most
prosperous in the world. The work
ing classes are better clothed and
better fed than in any other cOun-
try on the face of the globe. Why 7
Because a tariff has protected them
against competition from abroad. -
1t has built up industries which
would otherwise never have been
planted here, and tOstered others
that could only have had feeble
existence under free trade. / am
heartily in favor Of protecting ey-
erything that we can produce or
manufacture here. Free trade in
any line would mean Its ultimate
extinction, so tar as production IN
this country is concerned. No prac.
teal business man doubts this. A
day or two ago | asked the head OF
the largest retail clothing house in
Philadelphia what effect free trade
would have on him. He replied
that he would go to Europe at once,
establish factories for making his
supplies over there and import ev.
cry suit of clothes that he sold.-
Now, that firm employs hundreds of
taiIOrs and hands in Philadelphia,
and if it should 20 abroad for it's
stock others would have to follow,
in order to compete with its prices.
Even under present conditions the
gentleman Of whom | speak stated
that he goes to Europe twice a year.
imports clothing, pays a duty OF 81
per cent. on them and undersells
the home products. TwO.thirds of
the difference in pnce represents
labor.
"Tbis question of protection APP
peals, therefore, as strongly to the
wage.earner as to the employer, for
If the latter has nothing for man
to do he is not going to hire him
and pay him. The doctrinalres
seem to be getting numerous down
in Washington, but the sentiment
of the country, | am firmly con-
WINGED, is against free trade. Tariff
reduction as an agency for rednc.
ing the surplus would not be a sue
cess. On the contrary, 1t would in
crease it by many millions. That
is so evident that / do not we'll see
how anyone can doubt IT,"
Now, Mr.. Childs is not a mere
theorist, but, on the contrary, a
shrewd, practical business man and
a proved friend OF the laborlng
classes, and his opinion ought to
have more weight with them than

MOTmOnS In Roanoke County.

Rumors of the progress made on
Back Creek, in this county, by the
Missionaries of the Mormon church,
reach us every few days, causing
considerable uneasiness and indig-
nation. 1t is said that about forty
people have Drofessed conversion
to the Mormon faith, and announce
their intention to emigrate to Utah
in the early spring. Several weeks
ago we called the attention of the
church authorities in this section to
the bold and successful advocacy
of the dangerous doctrines of Nor

mischief, but nothing has been
done. There is need of missionary
work there, and we again invite the
