SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. 9.-Herbert
L. Rand, the ewly-appointed consul to
Ponape, has communication confirm
ing the news of the recent fighting
on the Caroline Islands between ma
tives and Spanish soldiers. In the first
battle the Spaniards were repulsed and
forty of them were killed. Some time
after that Spanish man-of. war bonn
barded several villages and the troops
afterwards went ashore and de-
stroyed a number of houses by fire,
including the kings palace and the mis-
sionary buildings. A detachment of
eighty soldiers landed at Uana and set
fire to the buildings there. The natives
attacked them and all but one,
including an officer of high rank,
were killed. Qua was afterward
shelled. On the Sunday following q
detachment of Spaniards effected a
landing on Ponape and sixty of them
were killed, the Ponapeans losing only
thirty. On the Saturday following an
other party landed and burned all the
houses of the natives, church and
school house and mission buildings on

TAKEN FOR AN EARTHQUAKE
Terrific Explosion of Nitro Glycerine
Works Near Toledo, ..

Works Near Toledo, ..
The magazine of the Bradford Nitro
glycerine Company, located between
Prairie Depot and Bradner, Wood
County, about twenty-five miles south
of Toledo, o., exploded on the 9th With
a stunning report that was heard over
wide area, and was mistaken every
where for an earthquake shock. No
ono was in or near the magazine at the
time, and hence there are, fortunately,
no deaths to record. The force of the
explosion was so terrific that the trees
over many acres are torn up by the
roots, and the ground is torn up for a
half mile on every side of the yawning
chasm which now occupies the site Of
the magazine. The scattered farm
houses in the neighborhood had their
windows smashed. The shock was felt
plainly at Monroe, Mich, twentyfour
miles north of Toledo, and hence it
must have been distinctly perceptible
over a circular area of at least one hun
dred miles in diameter.

P1rTsBURG, Pa, Jan. IO.-To-day is the
time settled upon by the owners of
twenty-three furnaces in the Mahoning
and Shenango valleys to draw their
fires. The decision was reached
at meeting held at Youngs-
town two weeks ago, and the
report has been in circulation
that number of Pittsburg furnace men
will follow the example Of the valley
people. Nothing has been received
from the local furnaces up to this time,
and it is not certain, however, that they
will be banked. The idea meets with
the approval Of the operators, but
whether the move would be beneficial
at this time is not clear.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Jan. 10.-A motion to

The yexatious delays caused by the con-

settlement was the reason advanced
for the action. On the suggestion of

was postponed till Tuesday, pending a
final effort for harmony. Should the

intended for that location will probably

POULTRY PICKINGS.

SOUR milk is treat both to hens and
to little chickens.
IF only one thing is used coal oil is
probably the best to use for lice.
PROVIDE a shelter under which the
young fowls can run whenever it rains.
DAMAGED grain or fermented food
often induces disease and should never
be fed.
AFTER warm weather sets in it will
do no harm if some of the fowls roost
out of doors.
WHENEVER the brood of turkeys is
strong enough, give them the run of
the meadows.
LACK of gravel or gritty material is
nearly always the cause of the fowls
getting crop bound.
IF quick growth is secured it rs
the morning early.
Ducks shsuld always have dry quar-
ters at night if they are to be kept
thrifty and healthy.
FEED the fowls early in the morning,
before they are allowed any water; feed
well and water afterwards.
Do NOT keep too many brakes; one to
every five ducks is enough. More than
this simply adds to the expense.
NEsT-EGG gourds make good nest eggs
during the winter, but they should not
be planted near the squashes or other
vines.
TURKEYS can, to considerable ex-
tent, be given sweet Skinned milk in
place of water, and if the drinking YES
sells are kept clean will be all the
healthier. Louis Republic.

The Tomato In Commerce.

Amid all the triclSery of business GER
tainly one staple article of food has inn
proved greatly. That is tomato catsup.
Time was, and not so long ago, that if
the average consumer had seen how
tomatoes were treated in the canneries
he would never have touched canned
tomatoes or catsup again. The can
neries did business only few weeks in
the year, at harvest time, and employed
whatever help was at hand-the very
riffraff of creation. Tramps, idle col
ored folks, paupers, and the very wreck
age of society congregated in these fac
tories, and each establishment was a
terror in the community where it was
situated. At that time the skins of the
tomatoes were ground up along with
the pulp and no care was taken to pro-
duce nice compound. Capital and
pride are now enlisted in the business,
and prepared tomatoes are now fit to
eat, if one buys the high-priced brands.

How to Manage Unruly Sheep.

See that the fences are well put up
before the sheep are burned out. If
they form the habit of getting out of
certain pasture it is not an easy matter
to stop them, but if those same sheep
are moved to pasture where they
are not acquainted they will very often
lie quiet. A brush, rail, board or wire
fence 3 to 814 feet high, if made close
enough, will usually stop sheep, but it
will generally be necessary to top-pole
a stone wall if it be 4 feet high. If
sheep are not kept on both sides of the
wall the poles should not be placed
over the center but towards the side on
which the sheep are kept. This will
make it much more difficult for them
to climb over. If fences be properly
attended to and in season there will be
very little trouble with unruly sheep.
