HON. BEN BUM AS a FAR
N MEh.

Someof our readers may not know
that there are any farmers outside of
the Alliance. We beg to assure
them that they are wrong. The
editor Of this paper was in Nash
county few weeks ago and in pas
sing q large farm well cultivated, in
fine condition, showing thrift and
enterprise. In fact every thing had
the appearances that an energetic
string, skilled farmer lived in that
elegant house in that beautiful grove.
We asked our companion whose house
was that. He replied, Congressman
Bunns. Then our heart went out In
praise of our efficient Congressman
who has so faithfully represented this
District in Congress. We learned
that be had 40 acres In tobacco
which was very fine. What, 40 acres
in tobacco yes and besides he had
q big crop Of corn and cotton. He
is what we mi yht call most success
ful farmer, yet there are some who
want to defeat him because he does
not be.ong to the Alliance. He is a
lawyer as well as q farmer. We say
now it will be unwise to send a new
man from this District. Bum is .

collected at the right season of the year,

the soil and climate where the plants

Vegetable remedies are easily adul-
terated, and they are usually prepared
by men who lack the knowledge re-
quired for proper selection, manipula-

atmosphere all bring about chemical
changes, and in the course of time the
druggists preparations, even if originally
good become inert and worthless. Let
the pharmacist be ever SO capable, he
cannot PROFOUND good prescription if
he uses worthless crude drugs.
"The druggist and pharmacist make
their preparations to sell, while the ply
sician who makes his own medicines ex-
ercises the care required to produce the
proper effects. 1t is to the impurity and
inertness of the materials furnished for
prescriptions that much of the disap-
pointment of physicians in the results Of

The Return to the Pipe.

A Madison street cigar man is author
ity for the statement that the better class
Of smokers is returning to the pipe for
comfort. This is not only shown by the
demand for such goods. but by the nov-
elites that are being gotten out by French
factories as well as those in America.
"There is no use of an American shut
ting his eyes to it. The French still lead
in everything that is novel and artistic,
and we follow. Here is French nov
city in the pipe line. 1t is leather case.
It contains four French sweet briar
pipes. You see the variety of stems and
mouthpieces. It reminds you maybe
of a fine fishing tackle. You can have
your stems long or short. You can have
them straight or crooked. The artistic
smoker doesn't confne himself to one
pipe.
"He takes one of these, for instance,
and smokes it one evening with long
stem. He takes another the next even
ing with short stem, and so on. You
will notice, too, that by curious ar
rangement these stems are so construct
ed that it is impossible for the smallest
particle of nicotine to reach the lips Of
the smoker. The outfit show you costs
$S6. Then there are others that contain
fewer pipes, and some contain but one
with different stems. Chicago Tribune.

NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-The Times has
the following: The British are reported
to be actively engaged in Jamaica, Ber-
muda and st. Lucia, West Indies, in
fortifying those places against all likeli-
hood of capture. Extensive coaling sta
tions are being established. All the
British troops in the West Indian
islands are being concentrated. The
British admiralty and war office, it ap-
pears, are determined to insure coaling
stations to British cruisers in the event
of hostilities with the United States.
The British authorities decided some
time ago to send every available regi-
ment of British troops to the West In
dies, and in this way doubly assure the
defense Of what now is recognized in
military circles as Great Britain's fight
ing hold on the United States. The
greatest secrecy is being observed in
all the improvements now in progress.

A Chemical Lung.

2 A chemical lung" is the latest thing
proposed for the ventilation of tunnels
It was lately tested in London by four
teen scientists. A room Is by 1S was
kept for an hour at temperature of SO
degs., and the air was loaded with
impurities. The men of science were
now called upon to enter. and the air
was made still more impure by burning
sulphur and carbonic acid gas. Then
the chemical lung" or punkah, so
called, measuring by 26, was set in
motion.
The temperature was soon reduced to
65 degs., and the air freed from all
impurities. Then fat was burned, to
test the machine for organic substances,
and the "lung" was started up just il
time to prevent the examining gentle
men from running out for fresh air. 1t
is proposed to use the invention during
the construction of the channel tunnel.

4 squatter's Pathethic Story OF the Time

The squatter's cabin had grown to
pretentious proportions during the forty
years he had occupied it. The old man

young people that had collected at his

him to tell them story of his early life
in that region.
After a little hesitation he began:

LONDON DOCK LABORERS.
The Men Resume Work Under the Piece
Work System.

LONDON, Nov. 4.-The scheme submit
ted to the Dock Laborers' union by the
directors of the dock companies pro-
vides for the establishment of piece
work system to take the place of the
agreement under which the men have
been working for year, and which eX-
pired yesterday. The men generally do
not favor the scheme. Much discon-
tent exists. Although most of the men
worked yesterday, pending the decision
of the directors proposition, it is
feared strike may be inaugurated at
any moment. Early this morning,
Tillett and Mann, the labor leaders, Wis
tied the various dock gates, and exhort-
ed the men not to quit work. Their ad-
vice was followed in most cases, and the
men resumed work, though in numer-
GUS instances sullen disposition was
shown by the laborers. Eight hundred
men employed on the Royal, Victoria
and Albert docks refused to acquiesce
in the decision of the leaders, and went
on a strike.

been ascertained since his departure
that he left behind him forged deeds of
transfer and trust upon the estate of his
late stepmother, Mrs. General George
G. Bingham, aggregating $25, 900. Bing-
ham was treasurer of the Consolidated
Missouri Mining and Manufacturing
company. The sums which he fraudu-
lently obtained were largely spent in ex-
perimenting with process of extract
ing gold from fine sand. No young man
was better known in Kansas City He
was captain of militia, lawyer of
promise and mixed considerably in pol
itics. His father was General George G.
Bingham, state treasurer under Cover

Governor Hardan.
