sundaA,a DEVELOPMENTS.

CHICAGO. ILL June 17.-Among the
qqeerest developments is the open &C
acknowledgement thst the fgat to seat in
the convention the additional si1seea
Malone district delegates from Virginia
is in the interest Of Senator John Saer-
man. The hsnt is yet undecided snd
promises unless quickly checked TO be-
come battle royal, into waich the sdh->
rents OF all the presidential candidates
will be drawn almost inevitably.
Probably the most significant event OF
to-day was talk which several Of the
Pacific cost delegates hsd with Judge
Gresham st the request or the JUDGES
friends. At this conference the rather
delicate subisct of Judge Greshsm's
tsTif views Vas discussed and his po-
sision VAS stated. Taa friends Of
Gtsshsm Save strong hopes CT support
tsr hin from the Pacific COST snou.d the
Blaine movement mlscarry, but the effect
Of the explsns ion Of the Judges position
upon tas gentlemen present at this tslk
was not calculated to be specially en-
couraging to the Gresham people.

bought snd put in operation in the Adj
lene country this season there are not
enough yet at work in the fields to COM

There will be very little if any
hay, oats or feed Of any kind
imported into this country hereafter. Our
people expect TO supply the demand
themselves and have surplus to sell
outside. The fruit and vegetable crops
are sbundant, and the sale Of their pro,
ducts will be nice source Of revenue to
the raisers, IS we are well situated to be

Why Laura Lost Her Beau.

Laura once had an afilnent beau,
Who called twice a fortnight or so,
Now she sits, Sunday eve,
All lonely to grieve,
Oh, where is her recreant beau.
And why did he leave Laura so?
Why, he saw that Laura was II
languishsng, delicate girl, subject to
sick headaches, sensitive nerves and
uncertain tempers; and knowing
what lifelong trial is Il fretful,
sickly wife, he transferred his atten-
tions to her chearful, healthy cousin
Ellen. The secret is that Laura's
health and strength are sapped by
chronic weakness, peculiar to her
sex, which Ellen everts and avoids
by the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription. This is the only rem
edy for women's peculiar weak
ness and ailments, sold by druggists,
under positive guarantee from the
manufacturers, that it will give sat
isfaction in every case or money will
be refunded. See guarantee on bottle

He rose, and with one glance into
her cold, calm face, went out into
the gathering darkness, feeling as if
his whole life was wrecked.
As he passed through the gItes
and struck into the path that led by
the cliffs to the village, an uneasy
feeling came upon him. He turned
once and saw something that SEEM
cd more substantial than Il shadow
IL few PAGES behind him, but when
he spoke no one answered him.
Yet behind him was creeping a
dwarled figure, with a dark, demon
ical face, and something that glitter
ed in his clinched hands.
Bruce Douglas went on unconsci-
ously, but as he reached the cliffs he
paused and looked out over the wa
ter. A premonition of coming evil
hung over him. Nearer came that
bent form, stepping lightly, yei
keeping his baleful glance fixed or
the unsuspecting man.
He leaped forward suddenly, with
his weapon raised TO strike hin
down, but at that instant n womenl
cry rang out, and Bruce, startled
wheeled about.
Just in time! His assailant jostlet
him roughly, but that side step sl
we'd his life and, carried by the force
of his own attack, the deformec
maniac was hurled over the c lge o
the cliff.

ly.
: You are saved !" she cried, in to
, mes that were revelation to him
At the foot of the cliffs lay a quiet
/ huddled form to whom Death hat
mercifully come. And after all he
: years of sorrow, Violet Winthrop
! found her release at last.

Muscular Christianity has been

The story of Bishop Selwyn's en-
counter with the bushmen is we'll
known. Bishop Goc, Of Melbourne,
seems to have had IL somewhat sim
liar experience in his younger days.
When curatr, IL parishioner styled
Jim the Slogger called at the par
sonage asking him to baptize the
baby. Accordingly, the Bishop re-
paired to Jim house, but was sur
prised on being admitted, to see
Jim lock the door and pocket the
key. "Be you the parson come to
sprinkle my kid ?" he asked On
the Bishops asserting, he continu-
ed Yer can't sprinkle that kid till
you and me has had Il fight, parson.
Tie unfortunate parson protested,
but finding protest useless, took the
bull by the horns and stood up"
to Jim. The battle went for the
Bishop and Jim, pulling himself
up from the floor, muttered: "He's
the parson for me; he shall sprinkle
my kid" The Bishop was forth
with proceeded with, and we are
given to understand that Jim took
to church-going from that day. 1t
is curious fact that the Bishops
full name is Field Flowers Goe; a
name which certainly does not con-
note all the qualities which he seems
to possess.

Now open the ventilators at top

If you are done Matching for the

longer. Over-fat and broken down
hens, ditto.
Hatch some Minorcas and Leg
horns now; some Plymoth Rocks
and Wyandotts, too. Don't believe

February or March. Nonsense !
Those coops in which the early
broods are roosting are two small ;
we know they are. Sell half the
chicks right away before prices fall.
You cannot aflod to keep any
but the very choicest, and only few
OF them.
How about the lice? Is the poul-
try-house alive with them ? Are
they causing the chicks to droop ?
Are the coops full of them ? Exam
inc at once, and if you find them
around, go for them vigorously. 1t
don't pay to keep chickens and lice
together, and there is no good reason
why any poultry-keeper should do
it. Lime and kerosine are cheap,
and Lawford's Sheep Dip is even
cheaper, and all are effective. Use
them.

Mr.. Walter G. Murphy, of New
York city, has discovered that fish
can be kept alive a considerable
time without change of air Or water
by placing them in a receptacle
partly filled with water, and hermet-
ically sealing the same. They are
unaffected by changes of tempera-
ture, and quite healthy and lively on
being released from the jar, while
others placed in jars quite full of
water, or in jars open and exposed"
to the air in Il short time. This dis
covery will save great expense and
trouble to fish commissions, and
others, who wish to transport fish in
IL live condition from one country
to another.
