SEATTLE SHAKEN UP.

A Christmas windstorm without a Pre-
ceded In the Northwest.
Seattle had windstorm on Christmas
that she will not soon forget. The storm
broke early In the morning and con-
tlnued all day with undimlnished fury.
The climax was reached about a. IN.
Vessels In the harbor were torn from
their moorings and tossed about like
corks. Large trees and telegrph and
electric wires were laid low. All railroad
travel was suspended and many build
ings were demolished. The damage was
heavy.
George Bell. woodchopper, was crushed
TO death in his tent by falling tree.
Magnus Nelson. a railroad laborer,
was struc'E by a large fir tree which
crushed his skull. Nielsen lived about an
hour. The tree was about fvo feet in
diameter and fell across the barn OF z.
T. Clark, on Melford street, crushed In
the roof, and large beam In the peak
of the roof fell. killing large dray-
horse and fatally wounding another.
A fir tree, blown across the long trestle
on Deep ravlne, on the Seattle, Lake
Shore and Eastern road, broke the trestle
completely In two and many large trees
wore blown across the track
The Seattle and Northern road also
suffered great damage on the Snohonish
flats. The wind at Ballard lifted the big
pattern shop Of the iron and steel works
from It's foundation and turned IL part
way round. nearly wrecking 1t. At Red
mond. on the Seattle and Lake Shore road.
a barn was blown down and several cattle
were killed. In Snoqualmie county huge
trees were upturned and the wagon roads
were nearly all bloekaded.

DE. !, ray TO s.imul ats Fowl.

II we want eggs when prices are high
and want to get the utmost profit oct of
our poultry it does pay to stimulate the
ovaries and promote digestion. Does 1t
pay to stimulate our cows with meal,
oil-cake. cottonseed meal. etc, ETC.? 1t
does, and cows well cared for and gently
stimulated pay their owners twice the
profit that they would by following the
natural method. It Is the same with
poultry. BY the natural method the
chicks are hatehed about June, become
mature about the following April when
eggs are away down and pay their
owner just about as much as the food
costs; while by inducing early laying
and [ as consequence early broodiness,
the chicks can be hatched the last Of
March or first OF April. and, IL fed TO
growth, will come to maturity In October
or November or II fed for eggs and
gently stimulated they will lay vigor-
prices, and pay their owner a liberal
profit.
No better proof of this can be furnished
than the egg yield on our farm for two
weeks last past. We have about 800
pullets { so OF them are year-olds) and
they have laid in the IA days ending Dec.
2 1454 eggs for which our grocer paid US
$48 43. 1t costs US not far from 81 day
to feed them, which leaves sS4 43 profit
about - 50 day. Can any farmer earn
50 so day easier than by taking care
of 400 pullets and hens? We know a
farmer who keeps about 80 fowls and
who actually had TO buy a dozen eggs
last week for the Thanksgiving cooking.
He said his "pesky hens don't lay"
Well, he follows the natural method He
has pullets, year-old and two-year-olds,
all running together and roosting in one
house. He feeds them once a day on
"corn mostly" and gives them a drink
OF water oLce day IL he don't forget
it, and his "pesky hens don't lay" We
intend to sell q for killingl all of our
fowls when they are about IL months
old, believing that by that method we
get the utmost profit out of them.
BY getting them to laying early and
keeping them. laying by keeping the
birds healthy and stimulating the ovaries
we get the cream OF their egg yield be-
fore they moult the next fall, and then
market them.-New England Farmer.

S.wsoupa,and threatens to Rebel.

BY an old treaty between England and
France the French, besides retaining the
islands of ST. Pierre and Aiquelon, We're
given, temporarily, the right to land and
dry and salt fish along a strip OF the
Newfoundland coast, and to fish along
that coast. Newfoundland fishermen
claimed the right to fish in these same
waters and for a year or two French
fishermen have denied that right and
French war vessels have driven New
fouadland fishers from the disputed ter
ritory. Newfoundland now demands that
French fishermen be excluded from her
shores and waters.
The British government has failed to
settle the controversy and now proposes
that IL shall remain as it stands another
year while 1t settles the matter with
France on terms which may or may not
suit the Newfoundland parliament, and
at this announcement the Newfoundler
threaten rebellion.
Newfoundland never joined the Domin-
ion federation, though strongly pressed
to do SO, and now leading paper voices
the popular sentiment when it says:
I'VE are determined that only one flag
shall fly over Newfoundland, and that
flag will be the stars and stripes IL En-
does not do her duty. There is a move
ment on foot in connection with this
matter that will startle the people when
parliament meets.
mo arrangement entered into by Great
Britain and France will be submitted tc
for one day unless IL is assented to by the
Newfoundland parliament. The people
will defend their rights and franchises
alike against the imperial government

ieets of France"

Brutal Murders the Order In New Mex leo
Territory.
A Christmas-time dispatch from Santa
Fe say Mysteries thicken In Colfax
county. Two Mexicans were found dead
a week ago near Van Bremen lakes.
Their throats were cut and beside
them lay their rifles. They had not
been robbed, for money was found in
the pockets of each of them. Then
followed the killing of old Julio Martinez,
living on the Point. He was called TO
his door at night and shot down by per-
sons on the outside. Deputy Sheriff G.
N Cook Is under arrest for this killing,
and says he had a warrant for Martinez
arrest, issued by Catskill justice. and
shot him while he was resisting service
OF the same.
Another mystery Is the disappearance
some six weeks ago of j. p. Jones, a
respected citizen residing on yermijo
creek, and still another tragedy has oc-
Cured In the death OF Mrs. Stoekbridge
near Ration, who was dead and buried
seventeen days without the intelligence
having been communicated TO anyone
save her son, John Stockbridge, and his
wife.
An examination revealed the fact that
she had been beaten and strangled TO
death by her son John, who Is in jail.
At his preliminary he attempted TO ex-
plain that he had done everything under
the direction of God; that he had not
worked for Ave years because God had
told him to use his efforts in another
way, and that he was trying TO get the
evil spirits out of his mother. All his
brutal ehastisements were done for her

Orec,an,caI Help in Housework.


It has been said that baking would be
greatly simplified when Thermometer
could be attached to stove to tell just
how hot the oven is at the time the bread
or cake goes into it, and also to in
dicate any variation in the temperature
during the baking. The man who has
invented such an accessory to the range
told me recently that he was encouraged
to work upon this invention by reading
so much about the need of it. Now that
he has succeeded in supplying the ap-
parent demand, he finds that 1.-THE
women-folks are slow in trying it.
He must wait patiently, for sometime
the oven thermometer will be considered
indispensable, and his own patent seems,
upon superficial examination, to have no
fault. But while the women beat their
cake with an iron spoon Instead OF
wooden one, make tea in tin pot, sweep
their parlor carpets with a stub broom
instead sof a carpet sweeper, use cheap
soap and boil their clothes, he must ex-
pect to contend with conservatism.
So many useless household utensils
have been patented that women are wary
of spending money for anything new in
that line.
Some OF these inventions are useless
because the inventors are men not familiar
with household. work; they believed that
certain things might be done more easily
and better and have tried by experiment
ing to bring this about.
An example of woman's success as an
inventor is seen in the handy nickel
plated wire soap holders. These holders
are made adjustable to any tub. pail OF
sink, and the demand for them is con-
stant.-New England Farmer.

Injected Eastern Trees.

Information was received at the board
OF horticulture few days ago that three
carloads of peach trees had been shipped
from New York to San Jose, and that
the trees were infected with the eastern
peach borer. Alexander Craw, executive
officer Of the board, went down to San
jose to investigate, and, finding the in
formation to be correct, he had the trees
treated with strong insecticide, which
will completely destroy the pest.
B. w. Lelong, secretary of the board,
went down to Pasadena recently on a
similar errand. He has just returned.
and says he found three carloads of trees
sent to Pasadena from Georgia, all badly
infected with peach-yellows. The yellows

train running at high, rate OF speed.
She was halfway across it, and realizing
her danger attempted to drop through

All, There /!

N. o. City Item.
The claim set up by the politicians
who are striving to work the Farmers
Alliance, yet still bold on to their claim
of being Simon Pure Democrats, is
rather knocked out by the State head
of the order.
The editor of the Colfax Chronicle,
Mr.. FL. G. Goodwyu, feels compelled to
make the following announcement:
WITHDRAWN FROM THE UNION.
Bro. t. s.. Adams, president of the State
Union, in a late ruling, decides that editors
and proprietors of pronounced partisan news
papers are not eligible to membership. The
editor of the Colfax Chronicle has conducted
his paper as a Democratic journal for the last
fourteen years, and for six years he has been
chairman of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Grant parish. In order TO be con-
~sistent, and in obedience to President Adams
Ealing, on the 5th OF January he handed in his
withdrawal from the Union, and is now no
longer Il member of the order. This action
will in no wise affect the tone of the Chronicle,
and the paper will continue to espouse the
farmers cause as it has in the past. Our
Union friends are assured that the editor has
and will hold them in perfect esteem and
cordial regard.
There is a special significance in this
attempt to muzzle the Democratic press
by an alleged Democratic ofice-holder,
for the decree could have been aimed
at non other in Louisiana than Demo-
cratic editors. And it comes with
double meaning from a recent appointee
of Gov. Nichols.

A law has been introduced in the
Texas Legislature. relative to libel suits
against newspapers. According to it
notice of the intended complaint must
first be given to The paper, and if the
''latter then takes it back only actual,
not exemplary damages can be assessed.
If, to the contrary, the libel is proved
to be true, the complaint is to be dis
missed. The last part is condemnatory
of the much abused maxim that "tlIe
greater the truth the greater the libel"
and a law Of this lind should be universal
to protect the press against malicious
prosecution when properly ~denouncing
malefactors- Papers sufficiently de-
based rs To cater to depraved tastes by
