and over the little city of 5000 inhabitants
rs if their very lives depended on their
getting within its precincts.
Rain fell almost continuously from
o'clock in the morning until 4 in the
afternoon, but there was not murmur
among the people assembled They seemed
utterly oblivious to the elements. Their
ardor was not to be dampened, even by a
downpOur, and it is doubtful il even a
Manitoba blizzard could have phased them
in the least.
Daylight found hundreds and sunrise
thousands gathered in the town. All
through the night the streets were alive
with vehicles, mostly farmers wagons,
loaded with those anxious to catch a
glimpse of the 'Old Roman" and at the
same time to show their devotion to the
cause of democracy. They came in wag-
Ons, buggies and on horseback from points
from ten to fifty miles distant Many
carried capacious lunch baskets stored
with provender for two-days' campaign.
Family parties were the rule, but couples
who hoped in the future to wed and es-
tabllsh families were numerous. The
mule-cart, the more aristocratic lumber
wagon, and the still ''tonier" carryall
were enumerated among the arrivals, but
in slang parlance, everything went"
And everything went to Shelbvville.

eff I ever had the slightest doubt that
Indiana would go democratic this fall that
doubt would be removed by a glance at
this magnificent audience" said Gov. Gray
in his speech at Shelbyville, Monday
afternoon.
The sentiment was re-echoed by every
one in the little county-seat OF Shelby
county.
-Four years ago, on one of the most pleas
ant days OF the fall, 10000 people attended
barbecue at Shelbyville. Yesterday,
with rain falling almost constantly after a
week of rainy weather. $4,000 people
turned out to do honor to the democracy
and to one of its national standard-bearers
who has been, according to his own testi-
mony, a democrat since his childhood.
Such scene as that presented atShelby-
vile yesterday was probably never before
witnessed in America. Lowering clouds,
falling rain, and mud almost knee-deep
had no terror for the enthusiastic thou
rlnds OF democracy. and they poured into

Thousands Tramp Through tho Mud and

Early Sunday morning the work Of pre-
pairing the banquet for the expected crowd
began at the fair grounds, three-fourths
of mile east of the center of ShelbyviIle.
Over pit forty feet in length, huge
grid-iron composed of railroad rails, was
laid. Above thisa frame work was erected.
After a fire of an earnestness of purpose.
equal to that of the democrats present
yesterday had been kindled in the pit,
sixty beeves, one by one, were slowly
roasted on the gird-irons. Then the
cutting up began in the main hall of the
exposition grounds.
Country people began to pour into the
fair grounds by $50 yesterday morning.
The roads were almost impossible, but
wagon after wagon deposited its load of
human freight on the soggv turf. Every
new arrival made break for the tables,
1000 feet of which, covering nearly two
acres, had been erected east of the main
hall. BY IL o'clock $1,000 people were on
the grounds, and by 1880 nothing but
bones and stray bits of 10000 loaves of
bread remained as souvenirs of the sixty
departed beeves.
On the grounds five speaking booths
had been erected. The main one, from
which Judge Thurman and Gov. Gray
made their addresses, projected from the
center of the grand stand. The other
four were distributed about the grounds
behind the stands.
When the parade lett the town and
started for the fair grounds about one.
fifth of the whole crowd followed. The
rain and the muddy roads seemed to have
no deterring effect on them. BY 2o'clock
$4,000 people were on the fair grounds
awaiting the arrival of the speakers.

HOME AND FARM TOPICS.
THE BEST TIME FOR PLoUeHINe.
Poultry Yards-Efects of Lime on the Soil
Chicken Lice-Sfck ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Household Receipts-Hints
for the Farmer.

No general rule can be given for plough
ing says the Chicago Times that will be
applicable to ell parts of the country and
to all kinds OF land. 1t is generally agreed
that the proper time to break prairie sod
Is in the early part of summer. The roots
of wild grass can be cut the easiest at that
time and the sod rots more quickly than
If turned in the fall or spring. Most far
mers of long experience advocate fall
breaking for land that was seeded to
timothy and clover and has produced
crop OF hay for several years. They hold
that many of the grass roots are dead and
that their decay will be fastened if the
sod is inverted and the green grass be
mixed with them. By turning such
sod in the fall it will become warm before
planting time in the spring. II the soil is
largely composed of clay the alternate
freezing and thawing will greatly benefit
it. If the land is to be planted to corn 1T
will be necessary to pulverize the surface
with a harrow, but the soil which is
few inches below will be in loose con-
dition on account OF the roots and foliage
of grass which it contains.
III the 500 Is LenueTy uONoNoTy DSlLS
composed chiefly of the roots of clover
and timothy, it will be best to defer plow-
ing till few days before planting the
corn. A sod of this kind rots very rapidly
and the clover and grass, which will be
several inches high, will be OF great value
IN producing crop of corn. The blowing
must be so well done as to cover every
stalk and leaf, and thus insure their de-
cay. 1t is better to pillow hillsides in the
spring, as washing during the winter is
prevented. In the East, where the farms
are generally small, the blowing can all
be done at the time that experience shows
to be the best for insuring the largest
crop. In the West, however, most farm
ers find that they must employ most
of their time in blowing from the
close of the harvest till the season of
planting, stopping only when the frost
renders work impossible. If they do but
little blowing in the fail they will have
but few acres to plant and SOW, as the
springs are generally unfavorable for
working the soil.

This toast may be varied by using one-half
milk for the liquid.

The BondhoIdors' Game.

Why should the debt be anticipated? This
generation has already paid a great deal more
of the debt than can in reason be asked of 1T.
That is everywhere conceded. Why pay more
then, and especiallywhy pay it at the enormous
loss to the government in premiums which the
bondholders exact? 1t is an unstatesmanlike
subterfuge to avoid plain duty. That duty IS
to relieve the people of unnecessary taxes. Let
there be put squarely against this policy of
Gen. Harrison the aphorism OF President Cleve-
land unnecessary taxation is unjust taxa
ton" The two men candidates are we'll
measured by this sententious appeal of Cleve-
land to relieve the people of unjust burdens,
while Harrison makes labored argument to
prove that they should continue to be op-
pressed by them even if the nation has to pay
bondhulders a large advance on the face of
their debt. The president is stateSmanlike and
in sympathy with the people; his opponent
aids the capitalist alike by continuing in their
interest taxes that are unnecessary and by buy
ing bonds of them at exorbitant rates with the
money thus taken from the people.

THE SPEAKING.
Judge Thurman Received With the Widest
Enthusiasm.

Enthusiasm.
About o'clock Senator Thurman and
party sat down to dinner in the tastefully
decorated dining room of Mr.. Beggs The
discussion of the menu occupied the
time until o'clock, and then, in his six
horse coach, followed by Gov. Gray, Sena-
tor Voorhees, and other notables in car
riages the guest of the day was driven to
the fair grounds. Along the route the
streets were packed and each cheer so
mingled with its successor as the process
sion advanced that it seemed one pro-
lOnged shout extending along the mile and
over of the line of march.
Arrived on the ground, one great unani-
nous hurrah went up from $4,000 Threats,
and all flocked toward the grand stand to
get glimpse OF and catch word from
the grand old man. The grand stand was
packed, and it was with the utmost
difficulty that the party succeeded in get
ting to the stand. The race-course was
jammed, and a sea of upturned faces
greeted Judge Glessner as he rose to in
troduce the speaker of the day
A drizzling rain had set in, but the Old
Roman, as if to forever set at rest the
stories of his infirmity, threw off his over
coat, put aside his tall silk hat, and stood
with barred head-revealed to his admirers
as hale and hearty old man. Gray to

Poultry Yards.
TAmerican Poultry Journal. !


The yard of the fowl-house should be
as extensive as possible. II the good of
the fowls only be considered, its limits
should be those OF the farm, though it
would even then be well to have it subdi-
vided so that part could be plowed and
sowed to grain, or lettuce or colards, and
the fowls to be kept off until the green's
could get proper growth. For winter
yard, however, very moderate space is
required. The chief requisites are dry
ness and exposure to the southern sun. If
there are several flocks of fowls in the
same house, the yards should be separated
by fences running east and west. This
gives to each yard the greatest possible
length of fence with a southern exposure
Such a fence should be of close boards,
either tongued or patterned, and against at
least portion of it nearest the house
there should be a roof that will turn the
rain completely, so as to have the ground
always dry beneath. Ii this roof is three
feet above the ground at the ewes, and ex-
tends four feet out from the fence, the
fowls will have a warm run whenever the
sun shines, and dry one in all weather,
except Immediately after shifting snow
storm. At such times, if the temperature
is low. the attendant should clear all the
snow out from under the roof at once.

Effects of Lime on the Soil.
rDhiI-IolnLfn RnnnrI

Lime has strong affinity for carbonic
acid, but the carbonic acid may be dis
placed by stronger acid, such as sui
phuric or nitric. IT is this change OF COM
position with other changes) that enable
1t TO decompose matter in the soil, and
thereby iberate potash, soda and other
mineral fertilizers from their original con-
dition OF combination. and hasten the
formation of silicates that can be more
easily broken from combination than be-
fore. 1t also causes a mechanical effect
on the soil and, in connection with the
frost, breaks up the Jumps and clods As
a result OF its action there is a formation
OF nitrates, sulphates, phosphates and
other compounds, which, in their turn,
assist in supplying the growing plant
with many forms of soluble matter that
otherwise could not be appropriated for
use. 1t is due to the many changes it
produces in the fertilizing material of the
soil that permits it to be considered the
best OF all substances to be used as a
fertilizer if the matter OF its cost be given
proper consideration.

Sick Anin1ala

Whenever an animal showssigns of sick
ness remove it from the others at once,
without waiting for the disease to develop.
Precaution often saves time and loss. If
the sickness is not contagious no harm
will be done by removing the animal.
Where the disease IS contagious the
bodies of the animals that have died
should be burned or buried deep, as the
disease may reappear at some future time
unless precautions ara used to guard
against it. The whole premises should
also be thoroughly disinfected.

The Story of a Skull.

A murdered mans skull is among the ex-
hibits in the Office of DR.. A. r. Thompson.
The relic is well preserved, although it bears
the scars OF bullet: hatehet, and saw, the last
being the result of a post-mortem examine
tion, while the bullet-holes and other marks
were made at the time of the murder.
That skull looks as il it had seen harsh
treatment a visitor remarked to DR..
Thompson recently. 'sWell, it has been
through exciting experiences" replied the
DOCTOR e"sThe woman who murdered the
man to whom that skull belonged is now in
the penitentiary at Syracuse. / think she is
serving a life sentence. Her name is Harriet
Van Auken, and the murdered man was her
husband, Darius Van Auken. They lived in
Sandy Creek, where passed nv boyhood.
He was little, light-waisted sort of a man,
while she was a big, strapping heavy weight.
The neighbors credited her for having made
life unpleasant fc r her husband. The murder
was committed ten or twelve years ago. They
had an adopted son, think it was. living
with them. Mrs. Van Auken took q pistol
from shelf and said: sD'rius Pm going to
kill you ooh, don't' the husband exclaimed.
That was the last time bespoke She fired,
and the bullet went into the brain through
the left eye-that' S the hole She fired again.
and the ball went through the skull above
and in front of the left ear. Then she chopped
him with a hatchet after he was dead. Those
two holes farther back were made by the
hatchet going through the skull She cut the
body up and buried it in different places.
The remains were found after a time, and she
was arrested and tried. The skull was used
on the trial and the coroner loaned it to me
