4 Letter From Kelly.

Chicago, Ill, Sept II, 1891.
Kelly says that his interview with the
Ohio farmers on the wheat question shows
that there is not spark of truth in the
wild cat scheme in effect, that the leaders
of the Farmers Alliance have advised the
farmers to hold wheat until it brings them
from 81. so to 50. The farmers say that
they are willing to sell for 81 which
is sufficient profit. This will keep flour at
a level of Sc per barrel. The prices may
decline little more, but they are dragging
very close to bottom, and to days figures
need lose no one any money. Circum-
stances are now favoring purchasers to
an unexpected extent, and it will be
prudent for you to buy soon and buy

Unable to Speak Above IL Whisper.

Miss Alice Buell., the fourteen-year-
old daughter of Deacon A. w. Buell. of
Harwinton, is sadly afflicted. For a
year or more her vocal cords have been
so paralyzed that she has been unable to
speak above whisper and at times she
is very deaf. She is a heavy, tleshy
girl, and within the last two weeks she
has at different times broken both of her
ankles, caused by their turning under
her when walking.

tions of Dutchmen (and the Dutch are
the wonders of the western world foi
getting much from a small space) has
been beaten the first season by two
Cinnamon, Lee Wing Hing and his cous.
in and employe.
Lee was farmer in China and again
In California, and on removing to New
York concluded that the city lines fof
Cinnamon were overdone. So early last
May he rented Of Farmer Gordon, OF
Flatbush, two little patches on different
sides of the main road, not quite two
acres in extent, and went to work in a
way entirely novel to the old settlers.
His land is trenchsd both ways to divide
it into little Plots, and in these are grown
all the vegetables raised by neighboring
gardeners and many they never heard OF
before.
OF these the most noted is called "ca-
bite" by Lee himself, and real luxury
it is. The leaves resemble those of the
white turnip, and the stem is something
like a slender radish, but leaves, stem
and all are delicious when served with
The usual seasonings. One man says it
tastes like spinach, another declares it is
avery fine celery, while third thinks it
tastes "like crisp green lettuce did when
/ was boy" Anyhow, it sells readily
at ten cents pound, and Lee thinks he
can raise six crops year on Flatbush
soil.
Lee has, however, made a few serious
mistakes. He did not understand the
ways of Long Island weeds, and wher
he fertilized his field with half rottet
stable manure and wet it down every
morning it brought a great plague o.
flies, so he had to use wood ashes and
bone fertilizer. He and his assistant
live in shanty on one of the lots, wori
in their native costume of blue blouse
and pantaloons, with enormous high
peaked straw hats, and trouble no one
In fact, they don't even object to being
stared at.

TO SUCCEED PROCTOR
General Wells, Of Vermont, Said to
BE the Man.

RUTLAND, Vt. Aug. 29.-General Will
lam Wells, of Burlington. VT, will be
the successor of Hon Redfeld Proctor
as secretary of war. The news that the
president intends to make this appoint
ment comes from source whose relia-
bility cannot be questioned.
General Wells was formerly collector
of the port of Burlington, and is the
head of Wells &c Richardson, of that
city, the largest wholesale manufactur-
ing drug house in northern New Eng
land. He was young man in the war
for the union, and was brevetted briga-
der general for bravery on the field,
and General Philip Sheridan always
spoke of him as one of the very best of
his cavalry officers.
He is man Of education and refine
ment, and his many friends are jubilant
over the selection. They are confident
that he will fill the position to the honor
of Vermont and the advantage of the
nation

Mountain Streams in New York
State Become Raging Torrents.
Troy, N. Y, Aug. 2s.-The whole
eastern part Of Rensselaer, county was
deluged by cloudburst, which made
raging torrents of the mountain, streams
and caused them to leave destruction in
their path. Glass lake, at Sand Lake,
overfowed and sent torrent through
the valley Of the Wynantskill. Three
dams were washed out at Sand Lake,
a damage of 100000 was done to
mills and several houses were washed
away.
AT Smart's paper mill in this city one
end of the mill was torn out, bridge
was carried away and damage of about
$4,000 was done. Bridges all along the
stream were torn from their fastenings,
and it is believed the damage will surely
reach $500, 600. In the valley of the
Lebanon Springs railroad the storm
was equally extensive, and at Berlin
houses were washed away and two per.
sons drowned.
Travel on the Lebanon Springs railroad
was completely interrupted by the wash
out, and it is feared cannot be resumed
within week. The Hudson and Hoo
sick rivers are very high, and in the
vicinity Of Hoosick Falls many bridges
were swept away and the roads ruined
by the OVERLOOKING of mountain streams.
A man named bfcChesney was drowned
at Paestenkill.

PARIS, sug, 90. At Douai department
of the north. a youth named Ballet, who
had been convicted of having committed
number of murders under circum-

legally beheaded yesterday. When Bail

time for him to leave the world had ar
rived, he joked and laughed and at
tempted to make merry with the
gendarmes. All through the process OF
pinioning his arms, and during the
march from the cell to the platform, be
maintained his grinly jocose demeanor,
laughing heartily at the momentary
confusion caused by his changing step.
AT the platform he sternly and pereinp-
torily refused the proffered spiritual Of,
fees Of the attending priest. Two So
cUnds later his head fell in the basket.

Engaged in Piliage.
ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 29.-The town
council Of Moscow is considering prop
osition to compel all employers to fur
nish their worimen with rye bread at
the normal as about one-half the present
price. Experienced persons say that the
rye uksse will merely have the effect Of
enriching few dealers who are hold
ing grain for famine prices. That Sc
we're distress exists among the peasants
is every day becoming more evident.
Along the Volga hitherto prosperous
coionists are now in severe straits for
food. At Dinaberg and other points
riots among tho people to prevent the
expectation Of rye are reported
AT Vitebsk the movement of tho peas
ants begins to assume the proportions
of a general and formidable revolt. In
their efforts to prevent the shipment of
rye they have not hesitated to attack
the railway officials and severely beat
the Jewish grain spectators who were
attempting to bring the rye out of the
government of VitebSk.
In their fury the hungry people broke
into the railway station and many pri-
vate residences in search of both food
and plunder. The troops being ordered
out to dislodge the rioters from the
places they had seized upon they were
sayagely attacked by the peasants, who
severely wounded large number of
the soldiers. The situation finally be-
came so critical that the commanding
Off er ordered ia troops to fire. This
they did, with the result of killing two
and wounding several others.
