An Indiana Man and Ills Three Dogs I'm
able to Handle n Wounded Eagle.
Thomas Howell saw an eagle OF immense
size lowering over the farm OF John Kane,
near Holman, Ind, and, arming himself with
a rifle, started TO bag the big bird. His three
dogs followed him. A well-amed shot
brought the eagle down wounded in the
wing. Howell attempted to gather him up,
but retreated rapidly before the fierce resist
anco OF the Bird although assisted by his
three dogs. Then men came TO Howelps as-
sistance and the bird was finally captured
aud taken TO Howell's home, but had TO be
shot three times before be could be handled,
and soon died. 1t i estimated that the bird
was 80 years old. He measured seven feet
four inches from tip 10 tip. and weighed l0i
pounds. His talons were seven inches broad,

Duty Thereon Cattle Disease.
In the House Mr.. Wallace presented pc
tltion from the Grand Orange Lodge OF
North America praying for an act Of incor-
poration. In reply to Mr.. Edgar Sir John
Thompson. Minister OF Justice, said that

pondence between the Canadian and the I'm
perial Governments respecting the act and
aud II would be laid before the House In a

ling. Minister OF Agriculture said no spe-
clal report had been made 20 the Government
with reference TO the prevalence OF cattle
disease IN the western states. The quaran-
tine OF ninety days was quite sufficient TO
prevent the introduction OF disease. IL any,
into Cnnada. Mr.. Wood. NJ. Il. twestmore-
landl drew the attention OF the House TO
the enormous increase la the consumption
OF dressed American beef In the maritime
provinces. The importation represented
$4,000 pounds nine years ago, but Chicago
houses have since worked upa trade there,
representing nearly 100000 pounds annu-
ally. The Canadian farmer, unprovided
with refrigerator cars cannot compete with
the American product, and Mr.. Wood urged
Parliament to double the duty. His petit
ton will be duly considered.

MILITIA CALLED AT GUTHRIE.
A Disputed Title TO Land Causes Forci.
BILE EJectment I'm Oklahoma.

The disputed title TO land in Guthrie, l. T.
resulted in a call for the militia BY prompt
action bloodshed was averted and an elect
ment accomplished. A dry goods merchant
named Bob Hamll rented property on OKLA
homa avenue OF John Recch. After occupy
Ing tho property several months Hamil re-
fused to pay rent or give possession OF the
property, claiming the property by right OF
possession. Suit for possession was brought
and the court ordered AN ejectment. The
city officers attempted TO execute the writ.
but were repulsed by Hamil. The militia
was called out and under the shadow OF the
guns the ejectment was n success. Hamifs
stock OF dry goods was removed from the
building, and Reech given possession.
There IL a growing sentiment here that the
municipal courts should take no cognizance
OF city lot contests, but await congr ssslonal
action.

Thomas X. Brown. sr. has been an

Maryland. who was member OF the
50th Congress from the Fifth Maryland
district. Mr.. Compton's seat in the 5lst
Congress Is being contested by Sidney
4. Mudd Mr.. Brown was dismissed
from his position at the navy yard upon
the recommendation OF Mr.. Mudd be-
cause he ferried j. Wilkes Booth across
the Potomac the night after he had as
assinated President Lincoln. The au-
thorities OF the yard when they learned
of Browns completely with the escape
of the red-handed murderer OF President
Lincoln, did not think he was compe-
tent man TO oil any government position
although nothing was charged against
him other than that he had helped Booth
10 escape his pursuers. Brown acknowl-
edges that he ferried Booth over the
Potomac and also states that he has no
apologies TO make for his action, and
that under like circumstances would do
ID again. The commandant OF the Wash
ington navy yard deserves the thanks
OF the entire country for thus summar-
lily severing Browns connection with
the government and the navy yard.

oliver IGNORANCE IN MAINE

The Senate silver bill seems to
have zen named wholly in the
il.erest of the silver barons. 1t
pr yvides for the purchase by gov
e -nment of about the whole of the
silver output at "the market
price" and what will it be with
the sale Of the whole crop assured
may easily be forseen. Such an
arrangement could not fail to
have the effect to artificially raise
the price of silver for the benefit
Of the mine-owners. Our farmers
would doubtless be very glad to
have the government buy their
entire wheat crop at "the market
price" And why shouldn't it buy
the wheat as well as the silver
crop?-Portland Transcript.
The above is a fair sample of
how the average editorial mind in
the East regards silver. They
place it in the same category with
wheat and potatoes and do not
seem able to discern in it any
monetary characteristics.
They also fail to realize that
while silver is not a commodity
like farm products that farm pro-
ducts are low when silver is low
and the poverty stricken Maine
farmer will have still harder row
to hoe if silver is kept down.
Looked at from political stand
point, it should be born in mind
that the attitude OF the Demo-
Gratis in 1888 cost the Democrats
their defeat and il the Republi-
can party repudiates its pledges,
made at Chicago, it will be de-
feated in 1892.
The coming party is the one
that relieves the financial strin-
gency by giving the people more
money per capita.

Before the tariff was levied on
plate-glass, wheu all that was
sold was imported, it cost 81 a
square foot. One factory was
then built in this country and
and asked protection, so a tariff
Of 20 per cent was levied on plate
glass. According to the Free
Traders Ga tariff is a tax, and
plate-glass should then have cost
81 20 a square foot. But instead
Of that, the price was soon re-
duced to 30 cents a square foot.

Tho child is father Of the man. ToydsportA.

This is, of course, figurative language,
its meaning being that as we are in
youth SO to greater or less degree shall
we be in after lie. And It's true. for
there's no doubt whatever that our early
tendencies cling very closely to us as we
grow up through manhood TO old age.
The boy still remains, only in a maturer
form.
Now, when you see MAN neat in his
attire you can be pretty sure that he
was neat as BOY, and to several such
boys have we sold SUITS and OVER
COATS during the past week. We
noticed that they were every whit as
particular about material and fit as
their fathers could possibly be-were
just as appreciative of color and cut.
Encourage this trait in your children,
O, We parents It's n healthy sign.
Take our word for it they'll never be-
come "rowdies as long as they show
taste for being becomingly dressed.
