this way to employ help in the caltivs-
ton Of his 100 acres. He hired help to
assist him in chOpping time, and when
he laid by, after giving his cotton five
plowings, he owed s11.25. which he paid
in labor. His cotton grew of beautiful
ly, the rains coming just as his crop
needed it, and he watched it as the
forms began to show and multiply.
Then the blooming period excited his
delight, and when the hollis be-
gan to take shape and grow
and mature his young b. art leaped
with joy at the bright pros
honest toll. After awhile che picking
season came, and now he had to hiro
help. Securing pickers, he led tho
gang, and bale after bale VAS piled in
sheds and pens, till all were ,ull. and he
was forced to empty them to make room
for more. 1.-Two weeks ago no lad ginned
and sold 35 bales, averaging 100 pounds,
and his own and his ncighbo:s' estimate
is that he will have 81 more tales Of like
weight to market from his LOO acres. 1t
cost him about So a bale for picking and
handling. The 20 bales at present prices
will net him about SIS a bale. or S., $50.
Ont of this he must deduct his rent and
expenses, which it is fair to assume will
not be more than onc-half. The young

well as a cure for incidental ills to which all
are more or less liable. 1t is harmless in all its
various uses. The old, the young, the SICK
and the well will find it beneficial. We found
it excellent in "second summer'' diseases. |

TYRANNY OF THE CzAR
An AmericanCitizen Thrown
Into Prison.
BLAINE SECURES HIS RELEASE
He Was on Visit to Friends In
Russia--Confned Many
Months.

NEW YoRK, May A.-Among the cabin
passengers on tho Augusta Victoria,
from Hamburg, was Herman kempin-
ski, Russian by birth and natural
lied American citizen. He was on his
way TO his home in bridgeport, after
having spent thirteen months in a
Russian prison on the charge Of evading
military duty. He was accompanied
by his wife and two little girls, who re-
mained near him. He had returned to
Russia with his wife to visit their
parents, and the husband was arrested
without charges.
Kempinski tells an interesting story
of his experience and his wiie's efforts
TO secure his release. She first applied
TO Kurtz, the American consul, who
promised to intercsdc, but nothing more
was heard from him. A few months
later a friend coming TO America laid
the case before Secretary Bayard, but
the correspondence which followed had
no result The friend few months ago
laid the case before Secretary Blaine.
who, according to KempinskPs story,
notified kurtz to demand the
prisoners release, and, failing
10 demand passports and leave the
country. AS soon as this cable was laid
BEFORE the czar he ordered the prisoners 8
release. This was immediately effected,
and the unfortunate man was treated
with every consideration. He says that
the Russian jailers demanded money Tor
everything done, and that his wife ea-
pended nearly 1000 during his impris-
ment. He will see Secretary Blaine ana
try to recover his money.

No Wind Was Blowing. or the
Entire Town Might Have Been
Destroyed.

NORM YAKIMA. WASH, May 25.-At
$3.50 o clock this evening fire broke out
in frame restaurant, owned by 5. Har-
ris, and within twenty minutes a dozen
wooden buildings were in flames. The
fire department was promptly ON hand
and throwing three streams, but for u
time it seemed to be useless to struggle,
ana it.was the general opinion that the
town would share the same fate as seat
tie, EllensDurgh and Spokane. Fortu-
nately there was no wind, aud the rows
OF shade trees, for which North Yakima
is noted, and which form one Other chief
beauties, afforded protection.
The scene of the fire was in the block
northeast&f the Northern Pacific depot,
and the depot was at one time on fire, as
was the row OF buildings In the block
south of the fire district.
Tho fire was caused by the explosion
of coal oil lamp. and so rapid was the
spread OF the flames that the cry of fro
had hardly gone up before A. Churchilrs s
saloon building. on the corner adjoining,
was in flames. but the streets were
filled with people who lent aid in saving
property.
The fire was stopped ON the north by
tnc new DITCH CITY hull DulluluR, anu on
the east by $ ]. loves new threc-story
brick block, and the new brick Bartholet
hotel, while the iiremen made sturdy
stand and fought with desperation until
the ire was golton under contfol.
The loss is estimated at about $50, 600
which is understood to be pretty we'll

ANARCHIST FIENDS.
A Diabolioal Dynamite Plot
at Chicago.
TEN POUNDS OF THE EXPLOSIVE
Rain Prevents the Blowing Up of
the Haymarket Monument
Secret Meetings.

CHICAGO, May "a The night Of May
4, 1886, the date Of the anarchist riot
here, was recalled to mind this morning
with startling vividness by unmis,a kable
traces of an attempt to blow up the Hay
market monument and the surrounding
buildings with II gigantic charge of dy-
Mantle.
A policeman passing the monument
saw at its base what appeared to be
roll of black cloth tied with small
rope. He picked 1t up and the
rope crumbled in his fingers,
as though charred by fire. Tied
up in a piece OF black
cloth was tin can about twelve inches
long and four inches in diameter. Tho
vessel was evidently full of some sub
stance and weighed about ten pounds.
Several pieces of burnt fuse were found
lying beside 1t. The fuse was in IA dozen
pieces and had evidently been soaked
with Kerosene. On the step approach
ing the base of the statue was found an
uniighted piece of fuse, to one end of
which was attached a small dy Mantle
cap. This, when tried with fire, flashed
readily. The charge of dynamite, ac-
cording to the police, was enough to
blow up several blocks
The machine was evidently placed
there early this morning, and the rain
undoubtedly extinguished the burning
fuse
The contents of the can have been sub
mitted TO an expert, who finds that the
contents contained 80 per cant. nitro
glycerine, enough TO cause great
destruction. 1t is certain that the rain
alone prevented an explosion.
Chief Of Police Marsh declines to say
any thing about the anarchist movement
but II IL known that the old groups
have been reformed and are meeting
again secretly. and that Herr Most, OF
New York, has been sending them cir
culars urging them to organize and pre-
pare to strike another blow.

Captain George W. Cutter. author Of

In Kentucky. though much Of his life
was spent in Cincinnati. He was gal

queut and learned barrister aud a most

conception, choiceness OF expression
and vigorous language some of his
poems will rank with anything in our
language. But lie was victim TO in
temperance,
His poems "Neyer, Neveri" and "E

ing our civil war, and sung everywhere
in tho North with the most inspiring eff
feet. Probably no song ever thrilled q
nation TO u greater extent than that OF
az Pluribus Unum." | remember once
during the war hearing Il sung in Gin

patriotic meeting of some 10000 persons
In grove, and can never forget tho
grand eitoct on the audience, as each
singer, with a flag raised in his hand,
sang with thrilling effect the last verse :
Then up with our fiagi Let 1t stream In the

Though our fathers are cold In their graves
They had hands tn at could strike. they had

And they were not born to be slaves.

kindly to him, told him how that vast

been inspired to patriotic duty by his
songs. He clasped his hands 10 his eyes
and exclaimed; Great God what a

over me and wept like child, promis-
ing by all thst was sacred that he would

With the aid Of some friends he was

house found, and for few weeks lie was
