safe Rule. for the Poultry Yard.

The following rules, if systematically
carried out. will insure successful poul-
try raising:
In buying fowls or eggs go to some
trustworthy breeder who has his reputa-
ton at stake. Culls are not cheap at any
price.
DO not breed too many kinds of fowls
at the same time. Until your experience
and accommodations warrant it confine
yourselves to one or two well known va
rietics.
Introduce new blood into your stock
every year or so, by either buying a
cockerel or setting of eggs from some re-
liable breeder.
Let old and young birds have as wide
n range as possible, and do not crowd too
many in a house. If you do you will
have disease.
Construct your house good and warm,
SO as to avoid damp floors and afford n
flood of sunshine. Sunshine is better
than medicine. Give plenty of fresh air
at all times. Above all things keep the
house clean.
Clean roosts and bottom of laying
nests, and whitewash often enough to
keep all sweet and clean.
Provide a busting and scratching place
where you n bury wheat and corn and
thu induce the fowls to take the need
full exercise.
Give plenty of fresh water daily, and
never allow the fowls to go thirsty.
Feed them Systematically twice a day;
scatter the food so they can't eat too fast
or without proper exercise. Do not feed
more than they will eat up clean, or they
will get tired of that kind of feed.
Give them a variety of both dry and
cooked feed; n mixture of cooked meat
and vegetables is an excellent thing for
their morning meal.
Give soft feed in the morning and the
whole grain ut night, except a little
wheat or cracked corn placed in the
scratching places to give them exercise
during the day.

North Dakotn,s Conyention.

BISMARCK, Oak, July 3.-To morrow
the constitutional convention for the new
state of North Dakota will assemble IN
this city and already a large number Of
delegates are on hand.
The subject matter of the new organic
law is still absorbing, and the Farmers
Alliance, an organization having a large
number of members and being very pow
erful politically, has enacted a platform
of principles which they wish to place in
the constitution, and they have sufficient
membership in the convention and
enough power In the state to
make their demands OF great weight.
Among the planks in their platform are
the following: Government control of rail-
roads and of all public necessities; prohi
bition of liduor traffic; election of United
States senators by popular vote; courts of
arbitration; abolition of contract system in
public works; self sustaining criminals;
woman suffrage; few appointive and many
elective officers, and the Australian system
of voting. :

Johnstown Flooded Again.

JoHNsTowN. Pa. July 3.-The heavy
rains of yesterday and last night flooded
out five families in Cambria City. Water
came pouring down the mountain last
night and filed the first floors OF houses,
destroying all furniture saved from the
big food. There is great alarm among
the people over the condition of the Con
emaugh river. The river rose five feet
this morning in two hours, and carried
away a foot bridge above the P~ennsylva-
MIA railroad station; there is danger of the
temporary bridge erected by the company
going out. Cars were run out on the
bridge to save it. At 10 O'Clock this
morning the abutment began to sink. The
temporary bridge at the lower end of the
Gautier offices is almost a total wreck.
Orders were given at Gen. Hastings
headquarters. at 10 o'clock. to get every
thing in shape for quick removal. as it
was feared the tents would be washed
away. AT half past IL 1t was thought all
danger had passed, when a fresh storm
broke oyer the valley, the rain coming
down in torrents. People lear the Cone
maugh will yet sweep over its banks and
flood the town.

Great Flood at HoIIidaysbure.

HoLLIDAYsBURG, Pa. July 3.-One
OF the heaviest thunder storms that has
occurred here in years passed over the
city last night, causing a great flood. In
three hours time three inches Of rain fell
and by midnight the Juniata river stood
fifteen feet above low water mark and
only two feet lower than the flood Of May
3lst. The lower streets OF the town were
covered with from three to five feet of
water and many people had to leave their
houses.
The store houses on. the river bank
were al flooded, truck gardens and farms
in the surrounding country are badly
damaged. Several new county bridges
and much fencing were carried away.
The mills of the Portage Iron works at
Duncanville, we're flooded and fires put
out. The water was higher at Duncan.
vile than in the flood of May 30 last.
The river. five feet deep, rushed through
and DESTROYED the main streets of the
town. Several houses were struck by
lightning here and the inmates seriously
Injured.

The Railroad Disaster in Virginia.

LYNcHBURG, Va, July 3.-The scene
of the terrible disaster near Thaxtons on
the Norfolk & Western railroad is beyond
description. Hardly enough is left of
the train of eip hit cars that took the leap
to the bottom of the awful pit, to make
one car. So soon as the boiler of the en-
CINE exploded the entire mass of debris
took fire. Those who went down and
were not killed outright burned to death.
Portions of eight bodies have been taken
out; it is believed fully fifteen others were
entirely consumed by fire. A survivor of
the wreck says, the cries for help could be
heard from all portions of the wreck and
those unhurt were powerless to render as
slstance. The women who managed TO
escape lay about on the damp ground,
suffering from their injuries until day
break, and many walked a long distance
to farm houses. The few passengers un-
injured did all in their power for the I'M
fortunate.
The debris at the wreck on the Norfolk
u Western railroad has been removed and
a number of charred bodies have been
found. The names Of seventeen persons
Who were killed have been ascertalned, all
Eastern people. There were about thirty
persons who escaped with only slight in
lmries and ten who are seriously injured.
h list OF the dead will be increased as
friends OF the missing people come Tor
ward IN search of them. There is no way
at present to ascertain the exact number
OF the dead owing to the fact of the train
being destroyed by fire.

Thaxton, Va.
Cloud Bursts in Pennsylvania.

TITUsvrLLE, Pa, July IA terrific
thunder storm passed over this city last
evening followed by two cloud bursts that
caused a furious overflow of Church Run
which winds through the city. From an
Insignificant stream the Run turned into
a furious torrent in a few minutes, cours-
ing through the streets, hlling cellars, ris-
ing in some cases to the first stories of
houses. Fully three miles of streets are
flooded. Over two feet of water is on
the sidewalks. Families along the line of
the food became frantic and a number OF
RATS were built on which women and
children were taken to places of safety.
The force of water ripped up hundreds of
feet of sewers. Roads in the surround
ing country are badly washed out. At
East Titusville a number of residences
are badly damaged. Several narrow es-
capes from drowning occurred in this city.
Water poured down the side of the hills
northwest of the city, where a cloud burst
occurred, in a perfect avalanche sweeping
all before IL.
