While at Ponca agency few days ago
Ed. G. Cole, of Winfield, witnessed fu-
neral ceremony and style of administer
ing upon an estate that were novel IN the
extreme. The manner of settling up the
estate precluded the necessity of IA LAWYER,
an administrator or a probate judge. The
corpse of the dead brave was borne TO the
burying ground, which in reality Is not a
buryiag ground but is dumping ground
for good Indians. The mourners preserved
stolid silence at times and would then
break out into pitiful bowls not unlike the
bowling of lost dog. The corpse was IN
wooden box, which was placed upon
wooden posts, about three feet above the
ground and left to await the resurrection
While the ceremonies were being perform
ed the tribe was administering upon the
estate and the claimants settled their
rights by running race on ponies. The
ponies. saddles, blankets. and all other
property belonging TO the dead Indian.
were brought to the spot. and then
the business began. There Were two
Indians in the race and the result was a
tie. It was decided that foot race should
settle It. and Fleet Foot got away with
Can't Run and took the entire Doodle.
This closed the ceremonies which were
seemingly highly enjoyed by the tribe. the
mournerS attending the funeral services
while the remainder ran the races,
whooped aud howled and settled the es-
tate At the close the mourners whipped
out their knives and slashed their breasts,
thighs and arms, and danced around with
blood streaming from many wounds, pre-
senting a picturesque scene for the nine
teenth century.

Tho Origin of cGrnrO

Until the time of Admiral Vernon the
British sailors had their allowance Of
brandy or rum served out TO them IN
mixed with water. This plan was found
to be attended with Inconvenience on
some occasions on account OF a shortage
in the brandy locker, and the admiral,
therefore, ordered that in the fleet he
commanded the spirits should be mixed
with water before being passed around
among the men. This innovation at first
gave great offense TO the hardy sailors,
who had been used TO taking their drinks
raw" the result being that Vernon be-
came very unpopular with his men.
To add to his unpopularity the adj
miral, who was conscious OF the i'm
mense responsibility that rested upon
him, became morose and gloomy, often
walking the decks for hours without
speaking or looking either to the right or
the left. In these tacitUrn moods he al
ways wore an immense gToghaIn coat
thrown loosely over his shoulders; this
resulted III the sailors nicknaming him
"Old Grog," and the term soon came TO
be applied TO the weak mixture stinting-
ly given out to the men, who had for
meriy looked for a regular allowance Of
pure stuff" ''Grog' became quite pop
ular after time, but not until the origi-
nal mixer Of the formula had "gone 10

ANOTHER DISCOVERY.

If there has been any doubt as to the
position of Gen. John NJ. Palmer, the
newly-elected United States senator from
Illinois, ON the money question the doubt
is now removed and he may henceforth
be classed as goldbug. He was re-
Gently requested by the Atlanta Journal
to stalk politics for the columns of
that paper, but wrote courteous letter,
dated at Springfield, May s, 1891, declin-
ing the invitation, in which he says:
.'At the time of our convention on
this subject, impressed somewhat by the
fact that l had then received some $500
letters and kilograms referring to and
congratuiating me upon my then recent
election, I, like many others, as | now
think, overrated the Importance OF my
'out-givings,' so that now | am inclined
to the belief that, as the novelty OF the
thing has worn off, the public will feel
very little interest in what l think or
NAV say. This consideration, together
with the fact that l am neither a king
nor a king-maker,' nor candidate for
the presidency or vice presidency makes
me feel that formal political deserta-
ton from me would be very much like
an impertinence. Speech is silver but
silence is golden, and though l favor the
liberal coinage of the white metal l have
for the present, at least, preference for
the yellow. -"
Gen. Palmer could not have been
elected without receiving two "Alliauce"
votes-and they voted for him. How
do they like his views in relation to the
"money" question?

A good deal of significance has been
attached to the absence of a full repre-
sentation from the south at the Gin
cinnati Third party accouchment, but
the more the true inspiration of the
movement comes out che less serious the
dereliction mentioned, per Sc, appears,
The declaration of Chairman Taubeneck
of the national committee in relation to
the Ohio senatorship, gives special en-
phasis to the fact that the southern con-
tingent hasn't a monopoly of the ulterior
designs Of the Alliance or third party,
that is the defeat and if possible the
destruction Of the Republican party.
Saws Taubeneck, 1--WE would rather send
a Democrat to the United States senate,
if thereby we can cause the defeat Of
John Sherman" So they felt in Kansas,
and so they felt in Illinois. But the fact
is, the personal fight against Sherman,
like the personal fight against malls, Is
simply an excuse. Any other Republi-
can would meet the same opposition. 1t
is simply warfare against the Republi-
can party, and it cannot be disguised,
neither can the whole responsibility for
it be placed upon the southern leaders,
the scheme originated with
them.

A PREJUDICED PARTISAN.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
| am willing that the new candidate
for the suffrage of the people shall have
a fair start andwith that end in view |
wish to suggest an emblem for them.
They forgot this important matter at
Cincinnati the other day, and l am anx-
ious that the omission should be supplied.
The emblem of all patriotic Americans
Of both old parties is the American
eagle, but as the "Peoples' party Will
have nothing to do with the old parties
in any way, it IS presumed that they
will refuse to adopt any Of their en-
blems; so / suggest as the most appro-
pirate emblem for the new party the
American buzzard The reason for this
suggestion Is plain. If we have good
crops, and confidence is restored and
good times come, this party, like all Its
predecessors of like character, will die;
and even the Democratic party gets very
sick. But if misfortune overtakeS US as
a people. no matter from what causes,
these harbingers of ill-omen return to
feed upon calamity and grow fat. So
the buzzard would die if fed upon
nice, juicy, healthy beef, but
he grows fat from the
feeding upon the rotten carcass. think
no one will dispute the appropriateness
of the emblem, besides the buzzard has
never received the attention from the
American people that he deserves. So
give the buzzard a show. The only
thing in which he might be deficient Is
his voice, for he is perfectly dumb; but
this objection can not prove very serl-
Gus, since the adoption of any emblem
that could make any sort of a noise
would provoke the opposition of the
eminent jaw-smiths of the new party,
for they would regard any noise from
any other source than themselves as
of their prerogatives. What
the buzzard lacks in other respects he
can make up in the strength of his per-
fume. Sam Wood might object to this
as interfering with his part of the pro-
gram, but we can not be expected to
suit all the elements in that corglomer-
ate mass of contradictions and inconsist-
encies called the Peoples party. S.

The Boston Herald favors the dime
savings bank craze because it tends TO
develop thrifty habit among the peo-
pie. The more savings banks we have
the better, whether they are for dimes
or dollars. As for the spirit of economy
calculated 10 be engendered thereby it
is commendable enough, but it is liable
TO be carried TO harmful lengths by en-
couraging the latent disposition in many
to greed and avarice, particularly among
the youth of the country. With this last
feature properly guarded against by par
ents and older persons generally and
proper bent given to the idea of thrift
and wholesome economy the effect OF
the innovation may be good.

CLOVER FOR MAKING HOGS.

1t is not eXtravagant to say that more
pounds OF pork can be made from one
acre of clover than from che same area
of corn. says a correspondent of Farm
and Home. The average yield of shelled
corn per acre isn't over fifty bushels and
twelves pounds of pork per bushel of
corn is good production. This would
make 6 cwt. of pork per acre. One acre
of fair clover will pasture eight hogs
from the time of starting in the spring
until the fail. A hog weighing l cwt
when turned out will double his weight
by fall with no other food. This means
cwt. of pork against the cwt. made
by the acre of corn. Whether it is best
to feed hogs when they are running to
grass isn't yet decided. Some good
farmers claim it better to give no other
food, furnishing the stock with plenty
of water and salt. / feed a little
every day and think it best. | do not
give enough to make the hogs depend on
1t, but to neutralize to some extent the
gas on the stomach caused by eating
clover. 1t should be fed regularly the
first thing III the morning, to pounds.
Many make a mistake in letting clover
get to large before turning in the hogs.
The swine should be placed in field as
soon as the clover shows fair bite. If
not it would outgrow them and become
too old to suit them. They should have
free access to salt and ashes mixed and
kept under cover. l consider clover the
sheet anchor of the dairyman and hog
raiser.

The Cincinnati Commercial-GaZette
says that Cincinnati pays annually to
Tennessee farmers over 81, 500, 900 for pota-
toes alone. Cincinnati, it will be remem-
bered, is great manufacturing city. How
see be if they had to ship their potatoes
and other farm products to Europe in
stead of ncinnati?-Leavenworth Times.
Theoretically that sounds all right, but
practically, how about it? The Tennes-
see farmers have two or three local mar
ketS which, together, amount to more IN
their demand for farm products than
Cincinnati, being manufacturing and in
duStrial centres Of considerable magni-
tude. And, then, there are the Ohio
farmers, who are something of potato
raisers and who have the advantage of
distance in expense of getting their
products to the Cincinnati market Of the
Tennesseans. a more plausible explana-
ton is found in this: The Tennessee
land other southern) planters get their
early crops ready for and on the mar
kets ahead of the northern farmers and
thereby get the advantage of the mar
kets; but the northern farmers turn
comes later, when the early crops are
exhausted, and they find their best mar
kets, in many instances, in the south.
