The Lost is Enund

Last Monday j. S. Clayton, young farmer
living near Macedonia left home and started
for town to get plow sharpened, From
that time until Friday evening nothing could
be learned of his whereabouts, On the even
ing mentioned he was seen walking along
the road little distance from the town. He
was spoken to and then it was discovered
that he was crazy, gone stark mad. He was
taken nome and there WAS hope that the
sight of his wIte and children would cause a
change IN his condition, but it did not. The
cause of the sudden appearance of the malady
is supposed to be due to being over-heated
while AZ work combined perhaps with anX-
iety attending the financial losses he has
lately experienced. Mr. Clayton has many
acquaintances in Council Bluffs who will
grieve TO learn of his terrible afliiction. He
ls mt present confined at his home where the
best of ire atment is being given him.

Readers of THE BEE will remember that
some time ago forged deed TO the eighty
acre farm of j, S. Lidgett was filed in the
oilice of the county recorder. Officer o Brien
took the matter in haad and, as he thought,
located the man who perpetrated the fraud,
He thought Il was one Ed. Hildreth, living
at Ute, Monoua c1uaty. He sent letter to
Constable Fred, Marshall at Soldier, asking
him to investigate the matter. An informa-
ton WAS filed here against him, which move
was made known TO Marshall. Hildreth was
employees in a hardware store, and there was
abundant evidence TO show that he had not
left the town even for day. Rather than
rest under this cloud Of suspicion even among

A Fro. Farm.

1t is understood that several young
men of this city have organized them
selves into Il company for the produc-
ton of bullfrogs, say the Toledo Blade.
They have leased Il good sized piece of
ground, which lays low and can be
easily converted into Il frog pond. This
ground is located west Of the city, is ac-
cessibe and well-itted for the purpose
to which it is to be turned. The capi-
tai required is very small, and the
profits enormous.
There is less trouble in raising frogs
than almost any other animal. Take u
dozen pairs OF Jersey breeders, for in
stance dump them into pond, and feed
them on hotel scraps. a quantity OF
domestic batrachian completes the out
fit. Supply the pond with three or four
barrels OF hotel scraps every day, and
the rest is easy. Frogs are not dainty
in their tastes and will gobble up
almost anything that is edible. At the
end of twelve months the harvesting
can begin, and in two years time these
young fellows estimate that their profits
will be anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000
a year.

The Snirits Apncared.

Banner of Light: On Sunday even
ing, June 3, large company gathered at
the home of the Berry sisters to witness
the last seance of the season given by
Gertrude Berry. Her controls seemed
fairly to outdO themselves in their ef-
orts to convince and to please. AT one
time three spirits materiali2ed together
at different points outside the cabinet,
and once two materialized together out
side and above the cabinet, and loated
gently down. One form came between
two chairs, each occupied, standing
close together and against the wall, tip
ping the chairs edgewise as she came
up: still another formed herself between
aud in front of two ladies sitting in the
circle. The forms were well made up
and able to converse intelligently, and
some startling tests were given.
To enc lady, who had visited Mrs.
Webb, spirit came repeating and con-
firmlng all that was said there. This
lady, by the way had not mentioned her
visit to anyone in the circle. One very
old lady came, wonderfully made up,
who found her granddaughter in the
circle and clearly identified her. She
gave the name of her spirit husband,
who was with her. 1t was an exception
ally harmonious circle, and one where
the controls inside and the sitters out
side the cabinet seemed to work in per-
feet unity.

General Congressional News

The following is the petition of the Rock
laud lime manufacturers relating to the duty
on that commodity:
TO the Honorable the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United States =
We, the undersigned, manufacturers of
lin in the county of Knox, State of Maine
do most respectfully and earnestly desire to
call your attention to the following important
facts relating to and affecting the interest of
the people of this and surrounding counties !:
The vast beds of limestone in this county
opened up an industry in the scaports of
Thomaston, Rockland, Rockport and Lin
colnville in the manufacture of lime. which
has existed for over century. Gradually
increasing it now amounts to a capital in
vested in kilns, wharves. and storehouses of
about 81 200 900; in lime rock guarries of
about 50 900 600, and it is an investment
worthless for any other purpose. There is
besides large shipping interest employed
in transporting the lime and fuel for burning
it. About ,, 900 900 casks of lime are an
aually manufactured and shipped from the
county at cost, delivered in the markets,
of from 30 cents to ) per cask.
Excepting the rock in the quarry, the fuel
and lumber on the stump at an average cost
of cents per cask, the whole cost of this
dTutit Is hiiitit up VI idttir iHNiuitc
quarrying the rock, hauling same to kilns,
gathering the fuel, and making and hauling
the lime casks by the inhabitants of the sur
rounding towns, burning the lime, handling
and carrying the same to market.
Before and after the formation of the
Dominion of Canada, Nova Scotia was one
of our large lime markets, but at or about
that time, duty was imposed on our lime
by that government which nece ssitated the
abandonment of that market by us, the said
duty still remaining in foice. Since the
decline in ship-building the manufacture oi
I lime is the only industry of any importance
at the ports above mentioned, affording as il
does employment to a large number of mer
who have become permanently located here
| We therefore deem it of the utmost impor.
tance that the Fiftieth Congress take some
action TO protect this great industry upoi
which the future of this county depends.
Near ST John, \. B.. are vast deposits o.
limeston, with fuel in abundance and at les
| than half the cost of the same used here
with labor much cheaper. Within few
years the business of burning lime has beel
