A Campaign Lie Nailed

To the Editor of the Republic
Versailles, Mo-, Aug. 19.-There
is report going the rounds that
the Farmers and Laborers' Union
of the sixth congressional district
has indorsed Bill Aldredge of the
Union Labor party for congress. I
want to say that every word of it is
false. I am president of the F. &
L. u. of the sixth district and know
whereof I speak. We, as business
organization, cannot afford to fool
away our time on such a man as
Bill Aldredge. Those who are SO
active in circulating these reports
about the F. 4 L. q. are the enemies
of the farmers, and I warn all to be-
ware and streer clear of anything
they advocate or indorse. Yours
for the farmers good, W. A. TAYLOR

Marion, Ind, Aug. 21.-At Point

Mrs. Sadie Sizlove assaulted the
drug store owned by Emery Shields
and hammered out about $500 worth
of satisfaction to her outraged feel
ings. Shields, in connection with his
drug business, deals out to custom
ers whiskey. One of the most prof
liable customers of Shields liquor
department has been Emmet Sixlove.
The wife of the latter has frequently
requested Shields to stop selling her
husband liquor, but the request went
unheeded. Sizlove runs tile mill.
Yesterday he got drunk, went upon
the roof of his mill to examine q lue
fell off head-foremost and sustained
injuries that rendered him uncon-
scious for several hours. Last even
ing Mrs. Sizlove went to Shields
place and demanded S25 damages.
The druggist tried to put her off un.
til to day. She would not be put off,
and again demanded the money.
Shields refused. The infuriated wo-
man thereupon seized a baseball

ties on the shelves and played havoc

men and engineers employed By the
Union Stockyards Switching asso-
citation went on a strike for higher
wages this morning. At noon, for
ty engines, each having two men as
a crew, were lying idle at forty-sec-
ond street yards. In consequence of
the strike 120 switcamen are also
idle. The switching or transfer sys-
tenn is the largest in the country.
As the association does all the switch
ing for the immense packing houses
at the yards, all work at the packing
houses is at standstin. The tracks
are filed with immense trains oi
fresh meat which were destined fo1
outside points. The reasons for the
strike are: The fireman receive six
teen and one-half cents an hour and
the engineers twenty-eight cents.
The fremen want twenty cents and
the engineers thirty cents. The men
also desire Sunday work regulated.
The demands were thus morning
made to G. T. Williams. secretary Of
the stock yards company. The men
refused his request to go to work
until their demands were considered
and struck at once.

Primitive Sand Glass.

Now and then the explorer among a
primitive people happens upon "ind'
which stril1ingly illustrates that neces-
sity is not only the mother Of invention,
but that there is strong family likeness
among the inventions. An English nat
uralist, while visiting Great Sangir, one
of those islands of the Indian ocean
known as the Celebes or Spice Islands,
lodged at the house Of a rajah.
In front of the house was veranda,
in corner of which stood a sentry,
whose business it was to keep the time
for the village by the aid of a primitive
sandglass.
Two beer bottles were firmly lashed
together, mouth to mouth, and fixed in
a wooden frame, made to stand upright
in reversible positions. A quantity OF
black sand ran from one bottle into the
other in just half an hour, and when the
upper bottle was empty the frame was
reversed.
Twelve short sticks, marked witt
notches from one to twelve, were hung
upon a string. A hook was placed be
tween the stick bearing the number o.
notches corresponding to the hour las
struck and the one to be struck next
The sentry announced the time by strik
ing the hours On large gong.-Youth'

Immediately called for it was ordered to
the back part of the room. The box was
clumsy and lopsided, much heavier on
one side than the other, and the man
who grappled with it was possessed of a
good deal of energy. When he had
rolled it nearly across the room one of
the sides gave way and out rolled hui
man skull and about a bushel of bones
and other debris. The box also con-
tanned a tombstone, with the name and
age of the deceased and an epitaph in
scribed upon it.
While all hands were celebrating
over the matter man came in and
claimed the box. He explained that the
contents of the box were the remains OF
a near relative of his who had died 8
couple of years before in Pennsylvania,
and that now he was transporting them
to his new home in the northern part OF
the state. For the sake of economy and
convenience he had put,the whole bust.

DeImonicO's Rival.

The Astor matrons have surprised New
York by setting up a man in the restau-
rant business in opposition to Delmonico.
For years all the intensely modish balls,
if too large for private residence, have
been given in the Delmonico establish
ment, but since the commencement of
1890 the Astors have held three sat
Sherry's." 1t is not long ago that Louis
Sherry was waiter at $40 a month and
tips. He next opened a bit of a bakery.
Astor children CHANGED to like some Of
his dainties, then the old folks tried them,
and out of that good luck he built up a
thriving trade. Now he has opened a
separate big house on Fifth avenue, not
for casual traffic at all, but sacred to
special assemblages.
Mrs. William Astor gave the first ball
and supper cat Sherry's," which indorse-
ment is of more actual value to Sherry
than would be the name of an Astor at
the bottom of a note for quarter of a
million. The flock follows wherever the
leader goes.-New York Letter.

There are hints that a revolution is
about to come in agriculture through the
discovery that the free nitrogen of the
atmosphere is absorbed and e6xed" by
the soil itself under suitable conditions.
Plants need phosphoric acid, potash and
nitrogen. The first two are in reach, but
the third has been supposed to be elusive.
1t has been the general teaching that the
nitrogen of the atmosphere plays no part
in vegetation. Now, NJ. Berthelot and
others affirm that it does.
They have demonstrated, they say,
that the free nitrogen of the atmosphere
is ''fxed" and made available as ferti-
lizer "by the cooperation Of mineral
matter and Of living organisms in the
soil" The fact explains, it Is said, why
it is "Q) that spade husbandry is much
more productive than blowing; ~ that
land can be enriched by simply blowing
under its own product, and 80 that sum-
mer following, with frequent stirring,
actually enriches the soil" Pulveriza-
ton of the soil increases, it seems, its
capacity to absorb nitrogen. The method
of centrifugal tillage now being devel-
oped in the west supplies, 1t is claimed,
an ideal modus operandi for the new
fertilization. 1t pulverizes the soil and
aerates it in the manipulation, and then
confines a mass Of air in its midst, fol
the slower process of absorption and di-
gestion by earth and plants.-New York

HOW the Fire should BE Kept,

Never have the coal come above the
stove lining. The fire will not be so
bright; fuel will waste, because the
draught is not SO good. When not using
the fire keep hampers closed; when need
ed, open the draughts. For cooking or
baking, no matter how hot the fire de-
sired, having the coal come nearly to the
top of the lining, the fire ought to last
four hours without new coal OF poking.
The top of the stove may be red hot; the
coal piled up to the lids, and yet the oven
will not bake. There is too much coal in
and the draught is stopped by it.-Good
Housekeeping.
