Splendid Treatment at Winfield.
@. M. McClaren claims that Winfield,
Kansas, is handsome city, and that
her citizens last week treated the old
soldiers as kindly as set of men could
possibly have been treated.
Nc thinks Mayor Hackney's address of
welcome to the veterans the grandest
thing of the period. "Bill' Hackney, ais
his friends call him, always strikes ct
every thing that he sees and dislikes.
In his address of welcome, he saw the
Cleveland administration in its hideous-
ness, and he struck it repeatedly with
such force as to "bring down the house."
But Nc wants us to be sure not to for
get to mention the gratitude which he
feels toward Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Prior,
of Winfield They are the parents of
Mrs. S. 81. Roberts, of Wa-Keeney. Mr..
McClaren carried from Mr.. Roberts q
letter of introduction to them.
This was themagic wand of Md&etay in
Winfield. He just had to stop with them
as long as he was in that city. Mr..
Prior, who is prominent lawyer, showed
him through the city, and in every way
possible showed him marked attention.
It would not be very hard for us to guess
where Mes choice of location for the
next department encampment would be.

Have We a Native Silk Worm.

FfOUt tue OHtuItU Dee.
Professor Joseph Newman, of San Fran
| cisco, was guest at the Windsor yesterday.
| The gentleman has a history. For many
| years he has been struggling to establish
| silk culture in California, and he has the
| honor of being the first person'to make an
| American flag from silk of American pro-
| duction. He presented such an emblem to
| the national government on July r. 1870
| and his name became widely known in CON
| nection Herewith. In 1884 the flag was
| placed in the Smithsonian Institution. at
Washington, for preservation, and may
! there be seen. The professor also exhibited
| American silk at the Vienna exposition in
| 1878 and the centennial in 1876.
But Prof. Newmann's fame does not rest
wholly on the fact of being a pioneer silk
raiser of America. He has discovered in
California natural silk worm. In the fall
of 1884 nephew of the professor, natural.
list and curio-seeker, brought him six native
worms for investigation, Their species was
unknown. The professor fed and nurtured
them, and they spun cocoon that he re-
cognized as silk. For several years he tried
to obtain eggs for reproduction, but had
difficulty in pairing them. He succeeded in
1887, and now has a crop of silk cocoons
from wild worms. Since then he has given
the insect and the plant upon which 1t feeds
careful Investigation. He found that the
moth lays about 200 eggs. He found in he
food plant the bark of what is known to the
medical world as the coscdra Saqradn. a
Spanish name meaning ''the sacred bark. -
1t is used as a laxative and tonic. The
plant is also known as the Rhannus Cali
.fornicus and wild coffee plant. 1t has been
grated with genuine Mexican coffee plant
and produces good coffee. While exhibit
ing the worms at Santa Rosa, Cal, the pro-
fessor was told by many farmers that there
was an abundance of the plant on their
ranches and it had been thought to be pos-
onous.
II has been known to the world for CEN
turtles that there are several species of the
silk worm which feed upon the atlantis tree.
the live oak ard Others. The wild coffee
species, however, is a new find.
The mulberry species is the one that has
been cultivated for commerce. China
seems to be the only country in which the
wild cocoons have been grown on com
mercial scale. The reason is this:
The wild moths which emerge from their
cocoons in the spring, deposit their eggs on
the newly-sprouted leaves. The spring may
set in early and late frost coming de-
stroys the vitality of the eggs. They are
also subject to the devastation of rain, hail
lightning, etc.
Prof. Newman is enthusiastic in his be-
lief that such destructive conditions do not
exist in the climate of California, and be
thinks great industry can be built up in
that state by well-directed effort. The hills
all over California are covered with the
food plant, be says, aud the worm takes
care of itself in open air.

the Blaine Fanatics.
DETROIT, MICH, Oct. 3.-The republi-
cans of Detroit turned out by thousands to-
day to listen to Blaines opening speech in
Michigan. Arrangements had been made
to hold the meeting at Recreation park, but
an icy wind from the west warned the
managers of the occasion to cancel that part
of the programme, and hold the meeting at
the Detroit rink. With a capacity of some
5000, the rink was crowded an hour before
the time set for the opening proceedings,
and multitude larger than that within
the building was turned away for want of
room. From the moment the Maine states
man appeared at the entrance till he entered
upon the stand after making his way along
a narrow aisle which was formed through
the mass of humanity, the great audience
maintained continuous cheer, and when
he reached the platform great yell of well
come assured him that he was among per-
sonal friends. Gov. Alger acted as chair
man Of the meeting and introduced Mr..
Blaine.
Mr.. Blaine devoted a large part of his
speech to criticism of President Cleve-
lands pension vetoes and his vetoes gen.
orally. He then turned his attention to
the surplus, severely criticising its alleged
distribution among the national banks.

STREET CARMEN STRIKE.
Overwork, Small Pay and Too Muc
Irregularity Their Grievances.

Overwork, Small Pay and Too Much
Irregularity Their Grievances.
CHICAGO, Oct. 3.-The north side street
car conductors and drivers decided at 4
o'clock this morning to go out on strike
on next Saturday morning. The vote by
which the strike was decided upon was 400
to Z. The meeting of the men to take final
action as to the course TO be pursued
was not called to order until after midnight,
at which time large majority of the con
ductors and drivers employed on the north
side were present 1t was evident from the
start that most of the men were bent on re-
jecting the offers of President Yerkes.
Luke Coyle and John Goodwin, of the ad-
visory board, representing the three street
car organizations of the city, boldly ad-
vocated a strike, assuring the north side
men that their cause would be supported
by the conductors and drivers of the south
and west sides.
THE CAUSES OF THE STRIKE
The grievances of the men are two-fold.
They oppose the ''set carr system and de
mand increased wages. BY the ''set carr
system is meant a schedule or time card by
means of which the men claim to be actu-
ally on duty for thirteen hours, while they
are only paid for twelve hours. The hours
OF work under it are changed daily, So
that they have no regular time
for sleeping or eating, and their
health is consequently impaired. They de-
nland 81 cents an hour, and an agreement
that they shall not be compelled to work
more than ten nor less than eight hours q
day. The conductors, drivers and gripnen
employed ON the north side lines number
700. Nearly LOO are employed on the
west side lines. Over two-thirds of the
city's population is dependent upon thes.
two railway systems for transportation tc
and from their homes.
