Democratic Rally.

The presence of Honest John Haley
and Hon Chas. Voorhees, drew large
crowd enthusiastic democrats to fill
the hall on Wednesday night of last
week. The preliminary torch light
parade was omitted, but huge bonfire
lighted the streets and anvils rang to
swell the chorous of democratic cheers.
Hon. John. HALEY was the first
speaker introduced and he took as his
text the silver legislation, giving in de-
tail its history and effect upon the
financial condition of the country at
its various stages. He charged the
republican party with the demonotiza-
ton of silver. He landed the demo-
cratic party as being its friend.
Though Mr.. Hailey's speech showed
an extended and intimate knowledge
of the silver question, it was hardly the
effort needed to enthuse the audience.
Here Chas. Voorhees, was more sue.
cessful. As a public speaker he Il
highly entertaining. He Is energetic
vigorous and assertive and carries ar
audience easily with him. He has
excellent powers of illustration and {
happy faculty for anecdote, of which
he has on hand a rich and choice selec
ton, apropos always to the case II
point. Mr.. voorhees, confined his re
marks chiefly to the tariff as an issu'
in the campaign, but differing some

G. f. Huson was in town again this
week. He says that large numbers of
men are being added to the working
force daily all along the line. The
track is now completed into Moscow
and will, he thinks, reach Lewiston
early in December. The right of way
across the reservation has been fully
settled and no further delay can be
caused in that direction. The heavy
rock work above kendrick is not rs
formidable as reported. The line thcle e
runs along the hillside and the rock

Johnny Cox Captured.

Harry Cone, of Warrens, arrived
here on Friday night last having in
charge Johnny Cox who shot Chas.
Bemis lately in the affray at Warrens.
He tells the story of the shooting, CIV
ing it a somewhat different cast than
our reports from Warrens indicated.
1t appears, from his version, that Cox
and Freeman had, by means of u
''marked" deck of cards, beaten the
game dealt by Bemis out of $2lO. He
being out of cash agreed to pay on the
following day. Freeman called for the
cash next morning and compromised
for 500, but Cox declared that he
wanted the full amount and would
have it or the life of Bemis. Hearing
that Cox had threatened his life, Bemis
armed himself. Cox entered the saloon
of Bemis and. walking to whtre the
latter was sitting at the card table, be-
gan the quarrel about the payment Of
the money. While talking he lit
cigarette. and, Us he carelessly threw
away the match, he, with the same
motion of his hand, snatched Bemis'
revolver out of his breast pocket and
threw it back over his own head, at
the same time drawing his own, he
shot Bemis through the head. On this
state of facts 1t looks very much like
c0ld-blooded murder.
Cox escaped to Weiser on horseback
and, taking the stage there, reached
Pocatello. Cone followed him closely
and captured him just as he was enter
ing a saloon. He had about completed
arrangements to escape eastward on the
train. Having the bulk of the 500
won at Warrens, he wished to make 1t
$500 at the gambling table, but fortune
was against him and he lost. He was
brought around by Pendleton and Lew
iston for fear of lynching as he passed
through Warrens. Cox was taken tn
Mt. Idaho Sunday last where he will
await the trial. Reports have reached
here that Bemis has died of the wound
but the rumor was not confirmed. He
cannot recover, however, so his attend
ing physicians say. Part Of the ball
still remains In his head and blood
poisoning will soon cause death.

rumen of cow, mere receptacle for
food, but an essential organ of digestion
for limited capacity. which does not
need to be crammed in order to per-
form its proper functions, and that it
can not be SO treated without danger to
the animal; and that the teeth of the
horse are provided for the purpose of
masticating the food and that tho food
which does not REQUIRE masticating
should be sparingly, if ever, used He
further recommends that no horse
should be put to work Immediately
after full meal, and when q horse has
done heavy days work, it should be
allowed to stand in the stable until it
is cool and comfortable before being

The small toe in man has recently

ner. 1t is we'll know that thumbs and
great toes are two-jointed, and the other
fingers and toes generally three-jointed.
In many human skeletons, however, the
small toe is found to be wo-jointed, the
middle and end phalanges being fused
into one piece, though still distinguish
able. This variety occurs in about
thirty-six per cent. of cases, and, as a
rule, in both toes simultaneously; and
there are more instances among women
(4l.5 per cent? than among men (31.0
per cent.). One naturally thinks here of
shoe pressure causing the union of two
joints originally separate. But 1t APP
pears that in children from birth until
the seventh year, and in embryos from
the fifth month, the fusion occurs about
as often as in adults Further, the ma
terial for examination was not from
class of people who wear tight shoes.
Herr Pfitzner concludes that the small
toe in man is in course of degeneration
(Ituckbttdun9), and that without appar-
ent adaptation to external mechanical
influences Processes of reduction are
also observed in the connected muscular
system. The question arises, has the
tendency reached its limit, or have we
merely the first act of total degenera-
ton of the fifth toe? The author in
clines to the latter view, but desires an
extension of these researches among
people who do not wear shoes or sandals,
or have only of late begun to wear them
In living persons, it is not difficult to
determine, by stretching and bending,
whether the small toe is two or three
jointed, and in this way adequate data
might be had for determining any per-
centage differences in occurrence of the
old and new form in different races; also
for Investigating the inheritance of ac-
9uired characters, members of several
successive generations being examined.

FARM AND GARDEN.

a Discussion OF tho Subject >-'ntainins
Suggestions for Next Years Work,
While 1t Is little late, says u writer
in the Ohio Farmer, to give advice for
making hay, discussion of. the subject
may result in benefit, from the fact that
it Is fresh in the minds of farmers.
Making hay does not consume the time
or take the hard labor 1t did some years
ago, yet in ride of some ten miles
through my county, during the haying
season, 1 was forcibly reminded that
some OF the more recent time and labor
saving conveniences are not generally
used.
OF the more recent improved imple-
ments, the hay loader and hay fork take
precedence. For using the hay fork in
stacking some kind of derrick is nec-
essary, on which 20 run the fork. The
cheapest and most convenient is a
tripod of poles six or eight inches thick
at the butt, three or four inches at top,
and thirty feet long. Have a bolt twelve
inches long made of thre fourth Nor
way iron, so as not to break.
Bolt the poles toget ther like an old
fashioned beef rack Bore the hole
with seven-eighth or one-inch auger
SO the bolt will go through easily. Also
bore two-inch auger hole three or four
feet from the butt of each pole, so as
to run fork handle or mething else
through, to turn and lift the poles by.
Lay two outside poles across the rick
bottom, the butts on the side you wish
to stack from; the butts about twenty
feet apart, and about eight feet from
side of rick. Dig a slanting hole just

POINTS OF A DAIRY COW.
How tho Practical Dairymnn Views a
Dairy Animal.

| DAIRY Animal.
The practical dairyman has small con-
cern for fancy markings. The points OF
| dairy COW in which he Is interested
are those characteristics which usually
accompany excellence ut the pail. It is
| mistake to suppose ''cow is cow"
| whatever her form or characteristics.
Many are fit only for the butchers
| block. While it sometimes happens
that COW having all the marks that
indicate excellence fails to fulfill ex-
pectations, yet the exception proves the
rule. This non-fulfllment OF promise
may be due to organic or functional de-
rangement or to undevelopment Of the
lacteal organs during growth, owing to
insufficient nutrition-a matter that
should be borne in mind by those who
are raising heifers. In buying COW
for dairy purposes, and depending large
ly on external appearances in making
a selection, it is wise to place the great
est stress on the udder, the paunch, and
the appetite Of the animal. There
should be well-developed udder If O
large quantity of milk is to be secreted.
The teats should be set we'll apart and
generous in size.
If a COW is to give large quantities OF
milk or butter she must be hearty

quantities of food into large quantities
of dairy products. The dainty feeder
will give very dainty returns indeed.
A large body is fitting accompaniment
to vigorous appetite. This is the fac
tory where grass, hay and grain are
turned to butter, and the accommoda-
tions must be ample If large returns

How Fertility Is Wasted.

When / see, says writer in Farm and
Home, the water in ravines discolored
from the drainage from the corrals which
border them | believe somebody is pay
ing dearly for his improvidence and la.
ziness. There may have been some ex-
cuse for first settlers locating their
feeding yards in sheltered places along
the streams, but this practice ought to
have been abandoned by farmers long
ago. OF course such yards are cleared
of manure free of expense to the own
ers, but this incurs q great loss which
many do not count. The corrals should
be removed from the ravines and placed
on high ground. In this way all drain
age from them will be of direct benetit :
to the land. If such places are necessa
rily bleak shelter should be erected. If
unable to build barns and substantial
stables put up walls and temporary
shelters Keep your stock confined to
the yards and stables as much as possi-
BILE, and bed them we'll with straw or
refuse from the haystacks. Permit no
prairie hay to remain in the field be-
cause useless for feeding. Haul it into
the yard to increase the size and value
of the manure heap. My experience as
q farmer tells mo that manure made and
kept under shelter is worth double that
made in the open yard, exposed to
drenching rains, which take away It's
most valuable elements.

THE WORLDS COFFEE.

Where 1t Comes From and What 1t Is
Worth In Cold Cash.
OF the vast quantity Of coffee supplied
to the United States something like
two-thirds of the whole comes from
Brazil, which country it might be men,
toned, produces considerably more than
one-half of the worlds total supply of
that article.
Not long since Ceylon was the third
coffee country in the world, and prom
ised to be second, but the crop in that
country has fallen off from 9ss, 1928 hun
dred weight in the season of 1S74-75 to
$50, 900 hundred weight in the season of
1SS7-SS. Such sudden and almost COM
plete collapse of great industry has
seldom been known.
The coffeo plant itself is best de.
scribed as shrub. It's appearance is
graceful and attractive and under favor
able circumstances it will attain O
height of from fifteen to twenty feet.
The seeds are commonly termed coffee
beans, not because they resemble beans
proper, but from the Arabic word
''bunn." The berries are not usually
picked until they become fully ripe.
1t is believed that it is owing to the
careful attention to the matter of pick
ing by the Arabs that Mocha coffee, al.
though inferior in size and appearance,
commands its high price in the market.
Brazilian coffee stands in value much
below even the native Ceylon and East
India coifees, because of the fact OF
being carelessly grown, gathered and
cured.
The imports of coffee in the United
States in 1921 were 10, 1856, $50 pounds; in
1924, 36,3o1, 172 pounds; in 1927, S47, 727,-
2o2 pounds; from 1921 to 1887, O,000,.
900 pounds. The receipts OF coffee at
all ports in the United States in 1887
were nearly $3.50, 900, 900 pounds; consid-
erably more in one year than one-half

'Its opening measure is to be found in
Wagner's Die Walkure.' 1t forms the
motif Of the Feuerzauber movements,
and as such pervades the whole scene.
1t is especially prominent just at the
point where Siegfried steps into the

seven notes, covering one measure with
one note over, it is exactly the same as
the beginning of Annie, even to the

if he is sufficiently familiar with the
