inserted thanking the undertaken for

A PROMINENT Farmers Alliance
orator recently concluded a speech
as follows: Il have no use for a dem
agOgu9 who goes around over the
country advocating the theory that
the thieves are all in town and the
honest men all in the country The
merchants are not your enemies
Where there is competition among
the country merchants, you will find
no trusts or combines to take advant-
age of you. Every where I have
been I have found a spirit of cOmpe-
titlOn existing among retail merch-
ants, cutting down prices and under
bidding each other through the col
umns of the newspapers, or printed
handbills, all bidding for your trade.
In seventy-fOur counties I have tray
eled over, I have failed to find a com
bine retail merchant If we drive
every store out of town but the one
we Patronize we will have built up a
trust. If we organize over the coun-
ty against men who have not organ
lied against us, we will be a trust
breeding instead of trust breaking
organization. Let US not make enc
mics of men who are engaged IN a
legitimate business, but keep after
the trust, and unite for the common
welfare of our country"

SMELLING OF icEBERo0.

Peculiar Training OF Sailors For Detecting
Mountains Of Toe.
The smelling Of icebergS ct sea- SIM
liar to the experience Of Seaman Au-
gust Jorgensen, the outlook on the
steamship Thingvalls on the night OF
the vessels running lnto the Arctic NOE,
is nothing unusual to sailors accustomed
to northern latitudeS however odd the
expression, II smell berg" may APP
pear to landsmen and sea-goers Of the
middle ATTITUDES. Among the nsvigators
from Scandinavian countries, especially
Dan sh seamen, the smell Of icebergs Is
familiar to the nostrils, and voyages In
Arctic regions have enabled them to de-
tect the approach or proximity OF one OF
the dangerous visitors even before 1t
can be discerned by the eye. In fact
with them the nose rather than the eye
is trained for the discoveryof the bergs,
and acts with unerring Judgment
An iceberg has an odor, IL 1t may be
80 called, to them unlike any other
sort Of scent The moment it reaches
the nostrii Q sensation Is felt which
would be perhaps peculiar and unao-
countable to those unused to It, but
which to the veteran iceberg smeller Is
instantly and meaningly apparent 1t
passes from the atmosphere to the
nasal membrane and to the sensorium
with the speed Of an electric message,
warning the navigator Of the peril
ahead. One Of the peculiarities is the
odor Of vegetation, which is supposed to
come from the immense quantities Of
vegetable animalcui@ frozen up in the
noe. and in course ofdecay by the action
Of the heat on + from the warm climate
through which the berg passes on itl
way to final dissolution.
The training for this singular sort Of
watching for perils Of the deep is 40
quired only by constant voyaging among
the ice fields and flows, and some sail
ors, like Jorgensen are better skilled q
it than Others Instances are known o.
the discovering Of bergs ct distances o.

Chetopa Advance: The Cherokee
nation has passed a law taxing all i'm
ported cattle fifty cents per head. The
act provides that any person import
ing cattle shall register the same, CIV
ing description, number, sex, brands
ETC., and shall pay fifty cents per head
No penalty is attached; neither does
the law repeal anything. Many think
it frail in this respect. Should the
owners fail to pay, the solicitor is re-
ouired to prosecute civil suit for the
collection OF the tax. Suits OF this
character might be kept in the courts
for years and no damages can be add
ed, more than costs.

IRL n. HICKS WEATHER PROPHET
The following taken from the "stOrm
chart" for 1890 OF Rev. Irl r. Hicks OF
st. Louis will prove interesting to
many. Here arc his predictions for
DECEMBER.
December will open and continue
fine aud bright up 10 about the 9th,
when the first storm Of the month
will begin aud continue for three or
four days. Cold days will follow.
About the 1lth, reactionary storms
will set In, which, under influence OF
winter solstice, may continue into the
reg ular period from the l4th to 18th.
Mercury comes in on the 18th. to pro-
long the period-during which there
will be much rain with heavy sleel
and snow. At the end of the reac-
tionary days about the 22d or 23d, there
will be q good supply OF snow aud
ice all over the north and far
southwark. A cold Christmas! The
last period for December begins about
the 9th, and runs up to January,
1891. In closing, we renew our prom'
ise, and avow our fixed and solemn
purpose, to become more and more
blessing to the millions who are learn
ing intelligently to interpret and fol-
low us. We beg the continued help
and patient indulgence of all the peo-
ple-praying for the divine blessing
and projection of God upon every
heart and home.
