A Oreditable Piece of Work.
BY the United Press

CHICAGO, Dec. 8. The press of
the United States is under obliga-
tions to the Western Union tele-
graph company for the prompt and
satisfactory manner in which the
organization handled the advance
copy of the Presidents message.
Commencing about one o'clock this
morning the most skilful operators
in the service went to work on the
message and at Z o'clock the entire
document was delivered to news
papers all over the country in neat
and legible copy. The message was
sent by the same sheet numbers
over all the circuits so that con-
fusion was possible. 1t was high
ly creditable piece Of telegraphic
work and one that was appreciated
by telegraph editors and compost
tors as we'll as by the reading pub
lie.

Cigarette Suicide.

The latest unfortunate youth to
die from the effects of smoking ci.
garettes to excess is Bernhardt r.
Kline, of Lancaster, Pa. His death
points moral. of course, but few
young men who are addicted to the
habit will heed the warning. One
OF the foremost medical authorities
of England says that though a man
may give up cigar smoking he can
never entirely abandon cigarettes
when once he has acquired the habit
of inhaling the smoke. He may
abstain for months, or even years,
but ultimately, like the user of OPT
um or morphine, he finds himself
irresistihly drawn back to the prac-
tice.

A Fierce Tornado.

The Southerner says the village of
Coakley was with hurricane. The
new Jones chs pei was completely
demolished and an organ broken in
to kindling wood Two barns on
the Cicely Station homestead were
blown down. Two on L. w. How
ards place were levelled to the
ground. In one Of these was Mr..
Howard who was struck on the head
by falling timber and badly woun-
ded. At this writing it is thought
to be serious. The storm, from the
imperfect particulars which can be
gathered to day,appears tohave come
from the northwest. While it is be-
lieved that much damage has been
done between CoakIey and Hamil-
ton, none SO far has been reported.

New YORK, Dec. 9. A special

says: 1t is learned that Mrs.
Cleveland has not, as was hoped, de
rived real benefit from her stay

as when she arrived ten days ago.
A trained nurse is still on duty.
Mrs. Cleveland takes massage daily
and lives almost exclusively on milk
and wine. When she and her dis
ringuished husband drive out Mrs.
Cleveland is muffled in furs and
wraps and her husbands strong
right arm is at her back for support.
She looks like a ghost colorless,

IHEANUARY MEETING
Pronane1,t Members Declare That
1hs order HIST be Purged of
Boodiers or Destruction
EaW -Easue.

The Washington Post, which Col.
Polk says is truthful and honest
journal. published a highly sensa-
tional article yesterday to the effect
that at the january meeting OF the
legislative council Of the National
Alliance, Col. L. L. Polk would
prefer charges against DR.. Macune.
Ia regard to the dissensions that
are arising in the Alliance national
Legislative council Mr.. Allister SAID
yesterday:
'FPresident Polk is thoroughly
convinced now that the charges
brought against Macune, from time
to time, are true, and l understand
from an unquestionable source, that
ne declares Macune has not only
got to be deposed from his present
position in the Alliance, but ex-
pelled from the order altogether.
President Polk is an honest man.
and he has been slow to believe
that Macune was guilty of the
things not only charged, but proved
against him, but he has at last
reached that conclusion, and / am
told has at least seven-eighths of
the legislative council with him.
The whole matter will come
up when the council meets
here in January. If Macune had
been driven out Of the order. as
should have been done at Ocala last
year, there never would have been
all this trouble that the Alliance
has had to 60 through with. That
whitewash given Macune at Ocala
has cost the Alliance dearly; you
might say four-fiffhs of its strength,
for everybody has left it except the
few who believe in the sub-treasury
heresy. Not only in Mississippi,
but throus hout the South, lodge
after lodge of the order has disban-
ded, until In some sections there is
not corporal's guard left

hold that the Alliance has no busi-
ness in politics, and that is where
it is now and solely for the personal
aggrandizement of a few demago-
yues."

Roots -Teedinr to Stock.

For cattle. the roots should be cut,
to avoid choking. Horses will eat
them with safety without. Sheep
should have them cut fine by Il pulper.
and fed in troughs. Cattle may have
them sliced Or pulped and fed in a
manger, with or without mill feed on
them, two Or three times a day, or as
some prefer to cut dry feed, straw,
hay, or cornfodder. Have two bins;
put in cut feed to the depth of eight
Or ten inches, sprinkle on water to
dampen and sprinkle of salt, then
tramp down tight, then put on q layer
of cut feed and roots as before. and so
on, as many as you like until you have
enough for one days feeding. Let
this stand until next day when it will
be quite warm for feeding that day,
and as you take it out it mixes toge:h-
or. If you want to feed meal or bran
throw it Oh top of it, in the manger,
then fill the other bin for next day. as
before each bin standing over night
to ferment, which is relished greatly
by cattle.
Feed when your stable is warm so
that manure will not freeze or the wealth
er is warm, as cattle are not benefited
by roots if they stand in the cold after
eating them. Neither do they require
much water, if they have three pecks
or one bushel head per day. In cold
weather, if turned out OF stable one
hour in the middle of the day. for
drink and exercise. it is sufficient.
Cows milking. should be MIXED before
feeding turnips as milking after tends
to, give the butter taste of the turnip
with some cows. If it does, drop a
pinch OF saltpeter i'll the bottom of the
pan and strain the milk on it. which
destroys all turnip flavor, and is per-
fectly healthful. Some put Il little in
the churn, before churning instead. =
