HARRISoN'S HYPOCRISY.
A Dose of Homemade Gospel for r. epuk
lican Sinners.

A Dose of Homemade Gospel for r. epub
lican Sinners.
President Harrison, who came out to
Chicago to open a theater, was unable
to make journey hither for the pur-
pose of assisting at the unwilling of a
monument to Grant. He wrote, how
ever, to committee on invitations,
saying incidentally: 81 am glad to
know that Gen. Gresham, who was so
honorably associated with Gen. Grant
in the campaigns of the army of the
Tennessee, has been selected as the
orator of the occasion, and do not
doubt that his personal knowledge of
the great commander will enable him
to speak a fitting phrase of one whose
relation to me was only that of re-
mote but beloved commander in chief"
Judge Gresham fully justified the
confidence reposed in him, habit in
born in the man. Judge Gresham, by
the way. is the same man who, in
1883, was proposed as an opponent in
the republican convention of that year
of the other Indianian, Mr.. Harrison,
but was not chosen. To such vacan-
cies as have since occurred in the SUI
preme court Mr.. Harrison has not
seen fit to promote the gentleman of
whose ability to speak fttingly of
Grant he condescends to speak word
of praise. Judge Gresham was not
personally a candidate for the repub-
ican nomination three years ago, and
probably does not change his mind
with the flight of years. He is in the
judiciary, apparently to remain, and if
President Harrison were of broad and
gracious disposition the highest posi-
BILE honors of the bench would be given
him.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.

/ Eleven Persons Injured, Three Fatally. By
the Explosion of n Locomotive Boiler
at st. Paul, Mfnn.-Some of the victims
Terribly Mutilated - The Engine Had
Just Been Repaired and the Boiler wa,
Being Tested
ST. PAUL. Mimi. Oct. 15-Shor-t .
before o'clock yesterday afternool a
terrible explosion rent the air at the
shops Of the Chicago, St Paul & Kan
sas City Railway Co. at South park.
As soon as the smoke and noise had
subslded agonizing groans were heard
IN the debris of the wreck, which told
too plainly that several human beings
were victims of the casualty. The en-
ployes In the shops had been repairing
an old engine, and, having completed the
work, decided to test the boiler yester-
day afternoon. Doubtless too much
steam was put on, for the boiler ex-
plodcd with terrible force and eleven
persons were injured, three of them
probably fatally. Five of the victims
were terribly mutilated, and were
picked up unconscious. The others
were quite badly injured and taken to
their homes. The three who are ia
tally injured were conveyed by a spe-
cial train to the Union depot and taken
to st. Joseph's hospital.
L. f. Newton, a clerk in the com.
pany's office, who was an eyewitness
of the accident, said: 1.-The engine had
just been brought out of the shops,
Hostler May being in charge. Sud-
denly the explosion occurred. and saw
May shoot up in the air and come down
behind some freight cars so feet away.
Clancy, who was standing near, was
thrown two car lengths away. The
explosion tore the fire box out and
ripped open the right side of the boiler.
The boiler head was blown 100 feet
away and through the machine shop
door,
The following is the list of injured:
j. Clowry. John May, Martin McGrille,
VIM. Davidson, David Zield, James
Dickson, James Slavin, Charles New
man, Harry Garrickson and two others
whose names were not learned, slightly
hurt. Clancy and May cannot possibly
live and the recovery of Newman is
very doubtful.

A FAIR PROPOSITION.
How the Increased Tariff Affects til
Workincinen

How the Increased Tariff Affects the
workingInen.
Gov. Campbell is making magnif-
cent fight. Whether he shall be re-
elected Or not, he has shown himself to
be the most courageous democratic
leader and the best stump-speaker in
the west.
Speaking at the center of the glass
and pottery industries, and again in the
mining and iron region, to great crowds
of so-called ''protected' workingmen
Gov. Campbell asked them to their
faces how many had received an in
crease of wages since the increase of
from twenty-five to fifty per cent. in
the tariff on the products of their
labor.
The answer in each case was: mary
one!''
Gov. Campbell boldly challenged
Maj. Mckinley to name a single pro-
tected industry in the state of Ohio
wherein the wages have been increased
by the operation of his tariff law. The
governor made the fair proposition to
his opponent to ''give him the votes of
all the men whose wages have been
increased by the bill if he will give me
the votes of all the men whose wages
haven't been increased by it," and ION
that basis" he declared, IN carry
Ohio by $50, 900 majority"
The tariff was raised on the pretense
OF paying higher wages to American
worlingmen. 1t has proved fraud
Monopoly takes all the increased
profits, and labor can bite its thumb

A Birch Bark Picnic,

There were thirty guests at the novel
picnic, and the invitations were written
on squares Of birch bark. Each one add
ed to the dress some birch bark decora-
ton. Belts, collars, cuffs and bracelets,
stitched with colored silk, were among
the many articles worn, and one girl
had hat of birch bark, which was ex-
,ceedingly pretty.
The table was laid with white cloth,
but there was central square of silvery
birch bark, and a smaller one at each
end. All the viands were served upon
dishes of birch bark Some of these
were carefully made and sewed with
bright colored silks. The plates were all
of bark and were bordered with narrow
ribbons.
Canoes prettily made held flowers and
fruits, and at each corner a bark basket
was placed, filed with ferns and grasses.
There was a souvenir for each guest of
birch bark made up in some pretty fash
ion, cigar and letter cases for the men,
napkin rings, needle books, etc., for the
women. During the afternoon some
musicians made their appearance and
there was dance in the woods, pro-
longed until nightfall. New York Re

FLOOR PLAN.

Tho kitchen and pantry arrangement OF
this house Is particularly adapted for q
southern house, though 1t Is for that rea.
son such an arrangement as would be ap.
preciated in the north. The kitchen he's
cross ventilation and is we'll separated from
the front part Of the house. The way 10
get from the kitchen TO tho dining room Is
through the china closet or butler's pantry.
In passing from one room to the other one
must pass through two doors which are
hung on doubla spring hinges. They al
ways stand closed when released. With
such an arrangement ono may cook onions
or cabbage In the kitchen without its be-
ing known In the front part OF the house
The pantry Is on the opposite side from
the china closet and has window opening
to the porch. Under this window could be
placed an ice chest, and if the window IA
low enough and properly arranged, the ice
can be put into 1t from the outside. Next
to the ice chest can be located the dough
board, on the top of which board can be
placed a marble slap. This marble slab is
a great saving Of labor 1t is easily cleaned
and is much better for molding purposes
than board. Onthe dead wall side of the
pantry are the Shelves -four bin and store
boxes Of the pantry,
The kitchen Is provided with the usual
labor saving arangemeuts--the sink with
hot and cold water, drain connections and
tables on each side. Every range should be
provided with hood over it, or rather the
range should be almost surrounded with a
hood. BY such an arrangement most OF
the heat and all OF the odor Of the cooking
goes TO the outside. A house built on this
plan In wood will cost from 5000 to $1,000

At New York farmers institute at
Canton, farmer gave expression to the
following: Ny pasture usually lasts till
July, If not, early cut clover is fed;
wheat, oats, barley and peas come next,
followed by sweet corn, planted in hills,
which lasts till the silo is open. / use
the Mexican blue sweet corn, but do not
cut hill till it Is fit to go on my table.
1t is one of the best varieties for the table
ever experimental with and Is as good
for milch cows. Planted as prefer, an
acre will contain 4,700 hills, of which
four make days ration for COW. At
that rate an acre would feed COW such
a ration two years. This question Of
shortage Of pasture must be met if the
milk flow is kept up. So would soil
cows and feed them grain when they
need it. cut enough corn for two feeds
for COW at night; this furnishes enough
for breakfast. Cut and draw at once to
the barn.
This Mexican corn makes the best of
silage If properly grown and secured in
the silo. 1t should be cut in the field
when the ears are in the "boiling stage"
and put Immediately into the silo, and
put in whole, not cut, as it is very full of
juice as sweet as sirup, and which easily
leaks out if the stalks are cut finely.
This juice turns to acid very rapidly
after the stalks have been cut. Put in
whole; there is a much less loss from
this source, as there is IA less leakage
Remember, however, this corn must be
secured in an alright silo.

1Nrrr1on vrrw or VOTING PLACE.

INTERIOR VIEW or VOTING PLACE
Siat careful examination Of It's provisions
which the importance of the law would
have otherwise occasioned, and in conse-
quence some erroneous ideas have be-
come prevalent. One Is that it changes
the registration Of voters, and another
that the system Of balloting provided by
1t is complicated. AS to the first, the
law remains the same as before as to
registration Of citizens,
While under the new law the prepara-
ton and distribution Of ballots, the
preservation of order" at the polls and
the 'instruction Of the voters" viii
be performed by sworn officers of the
state and not by irresponsible agents of
political parties, the only real. new
feature Of the system is the secrecy of
the ballot in cities of certain grades.
The Polling Place.
The reader may get an idea of the ar
rangement of the polling place from the
diagram given below, and as the plan
shown is the simplest and most conven-
lent it will probably be the one most
generally used throughout the state.

how to conduct themselves during the

crop. Plants started Nov. 10 were trans
planted into 4-inch pots Dec. 8, aud
from these pots into permanent quarters
Feb. 25. The first fruits were picked
May G, and May 12 the first market pick
ing was obtained. June they were In
full bearing.
From a summary Of the report of ex-
periInents made at tho station, in fore
ing tomatoes, the following items are
CLEANED:
The tomato can be forced for winter
bearing to advantage, but it demands
close and constant attention. A tomato
house should be very light, warm. and
the roof should be at least five feet above
the beds or benches. An abundance Of
sunlight is essential The temperature
should be about 60 degs. to 6j degs. at
night and 70 degs. to so degs during the
day, or higher in full sunshine. House
tomatoes demand a rich soil and liberal
supply of fertilizers.
Tomatoes like brisk bottom heat.
Eighteen inch-square boxes, placed
about foot apart and containing four
plants to the box, afford one Of the neat
est and best means of growing tomatoes.
Winter tomatoes must be trained. From
one to three stems, depending upon the
distance apart of the plants, are allowed
to grow from each plant. These are
trained upon perpendicular or ascending
cords. The plants must be pruned as
fast as new shoots appear. The heaviest
clusters should be supported.
Water may be used more freely early
in the growth Of the plant than later.
Wet the soil thoroughly at each water
ing rather than water often. In mid
winter the flowers should be pollinated
by hand This may be done by knock
ing the pollen from the flowers when the
atmosphere is dry and catching it in a
spoon or other receptacle, into which the
stigma is thrust.
Lorillard, Ignotum, Volunteer, Ithaca,
Golden Queen and Beauty have been
found to be good winter tomatoes.
