HOPPING AND STOPPING,

Here and there;
Never stopping very long
Anywhere
Picking up Job or two,
Leaving off, or getting through;
Moving off to some fresh place.
Boys and men, a restless race,
Hop, hop, hop.
Into this and out of that,
Roaming like a homeless cat
Here and there.
Banner readers, this won'tdol
You should read the paper through;
And beware

Brings 10 those who do not think.
Read the pictures and the type
Shun the drink, the dice, the pipe.
And il habits now you nurse
Which can only prove a curse,
Stop, stop, stop.

sAwDUsT AS BEDDING.

Sawdust or fine shavings from the
planing-mill make good bedding for
cattle and horses in the sense of being
cleanly, but there are some objections to
its use. 1t decomposes very slowly in
the manure or in the ground after APP
plication. II used in large quantities, an
acid develops in it when wet that is in
furious to vegetation, and manure in
which it is used will do better upon dry
land than in wet land. 1t certainly
should not be used where the land is
liable 70 be wet most of the season, as it
does not decompose at all under water.
When it does decompose it furnishes a
certain amount of potash and some
nitrogen, and certainly the potash, and
possibly other elements, would exist in
larger proportions in the sawdust and
shavings from hard wood, or non-resin-
Gus soft woods than In hemlock, spruce
or pine. In a stiff clay, or clayey loan,
it would serve to Tighten up the soil and
if not too wet would decompose after a
while. In light, sandy loan it would
be too drying. 1t would be better that
the manure in which it is used should be
piled up to heat and ferment before ap-
plying to any kind of soil. Dry leaves
from any trees except those of the pine
or resinous woods would be more
valuable as bedding, and are better alb
sorbents of the liquids of the stable than
sawdust, and sawdust is better than
shavings, and soon leaves can be
gathered about as cheaply as sawdust can
be got. Ground tanbark is similar TO
the sawdust in its effects on the soil, but
not as good, and should cnly be used
very spanngly.-BOston Cultigator.

HARsHAW's ANSWER.
One of wisconsln's Ex-Treasurers Tells
Why He Took Interest ON Deposits.

One OF W1ScOnsln'S EX-TreASurers Tells
Why He Took Interest on Deposits.
MADISON, Wis, Sept. 23.-Another
phase in the suits of the commonwealth
against the several ex-state treasurers
was developed when Fl. B. Harshaw,
against whom there is claim of over
100000 interest on deposits of public
funds, filed his answer to the complaint.
In his answer Harshaw recites that up
to Dec. 90, 1890, the state had no vault,
hence the funds were deposited in banks;
that it had been the custom of the sew
eral banks in which the moneys were
deposited by the treasurers to pay to the
treasurers or their agents some compen-
sation for moneys so deposited, which
was taken and received by the treasur-
ers during all the time as fund to re-
imburse them for any losses that might
accrue by reason of the failure of any of
the banks or any loss by the treasurers
in any way, they being insurers of the
fund and absolutely liable for the loss of
the same; that he deposited certain
funds in an Oshkosh bank, being assured
by one Charles Schriber, cashier, that
the bank was safe; that he did not loan
the money to the bank, but merely de-
posted it. It is admitted that Charles
Schriber, as agent of the defendant,
made an arrangement with the banks
that they should pay him as agent of the
defendant some compensation for the
deposit of money.

No Action Taken on the Convict Lease

NASHVILLE, Sept. 23.-The extra ses-
sion of the Tennessee general assembly
has adjourned after twenty days sit
ting. The convict lease system and the
question of arranging for the building of
a new penitentiary were left in status
quo, owing to the stubbornness of both
houses. The people generally look upon
the session as failure.
More Trouble with Miners Feared.
NASHVILLE, Sept. 23.-There is every
indication of renewed trouble at Brice-
vile within few days. The armistice
expires on the 24th inst, and the miners
are reported to be very restless because
of the action, of the legislature. E. B.
Wade, superintendent of prisons, said
that he anticipated renewal of the
troubles upon the expiration of the arm
istice. Governor Buchanan is firm in
his determination to put down any
further insurrection, and the trouble, il
it comes, can be of but brief duration.

Forty Thousand People Cross tho Line
From Oklahoma at the Given
Signal,
All Intent Upon Getting One of the
5000 Claims-Serious Trouble
Anticipated.

GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept. 2S.-The day of
opening has arrived. The surging mass
OF humanity on the line awaited with
impatience the coming of high noon,
when, at given signal, they started on
q wild pell nell rush for the promised
land. Fully 100000 people We're on the
line and there was a wild scramble for
the 5000 claims and 1000 town lots. A
crowd Of nearly 5000 in camp at Topee
will start in body for the new county
seat of Chandler. They declare that
they will not wait till Friday for the
survey to be completed, but will take
the town by force during the night, and
if they fail in this they will found
town in the morning on the adjoining
section. The company of soldiers at
the town have orders to shoot and blood
will flow freely if the attempt is made.
At Perkins 5000 people are fighting and
struggling to get on the bridge crossing
the Cimarron river, and when the signal
is given to go many will be crushed on
the bridge if it does not give
way and precipitate them into the
river. At Langston the negroes are
getting very excited. The sight of a
gang Of COW boys camped near by in
flames their anger and mutterings are
heard on every side. At Cimarron
City 500 Presbyterians, led by tall, raw
boned preacher, are waiting to be led
into the land of promise by their mod
ern messiah. At the Sac and Fox
agency, on the east side the crowd is
turbulent, several men having been
killed already. Along the line whisky
jugs and bottles are plenty and many
men are now intoxicated. The 100 dep
uty marshals and the handful of soldiers
are unable to do anything with the
crowd. The number of women on
horseback is remarkably large and fully
20 per cent. of the claims will be Sc
cured by the fair sex. In this city
everything is deserted. Stores are
closed and doctors, lawyers, preachers
and everybody have gone to the new
Eldorado. The boomers bought SO
many supplies that a provision famine
now exists. Hundreds of men who ar
rived on the midnight train could not
get conveyances and are walking to the
line, while scores slept in the streets.

The Secretary of War Finds Various
Army Posts in Fine Condition.
ST, PAUL, Sept. .22.-Secretary Proctor
Sundayed at st. Paul, having come here
from the West. In an interview with
Pioneer Press reporter the secretary said;
"The trip I am on is one Of official bust
ness, looking at the posts and saying
farewell to the army, for as soon as the
president sees fit 1 shall step down and
out from the war portfolio. It will be
sometime before Nov. 1, as then I be-
come senator from Vermont. The visit
to the posts has been instructive, and I
am very glad to speak of the efficiency
of the troops at Fort Keogh, where re-
viewed the Twenty-second infantry and
part of the First cavalry. I was much
pleased with the canteen sysem as run
at the posts on the frontier. In visiting
Smelling did not review the troops as il
was Sunday, but I went through the
barracks and found them very fine. I
was particularly well pleased with the
canteen and was much gratifed with
the manner in which it is run and the
pride taken in it by the canteen officer,
Lieutenant Cooke. am very much
pleased with st. Paul and the North
west and regret that may stay is SO
short" General Proctor did not know
who his successor would be. He had
heard many mentioned. Asked if he
favored the Manderson three-batalion
bill he replied in the affirmative, saying,
sit is the only organization of regi-
ment for our army" The secretary also
spoke enthusiastically in favor of pro-
motion from the ranks to commissioned
officers. This year he said fine SOL
dierly appearing class had been pro-
noted from the ranks to the positions of
second Eeutenants. From here the Sec
retary went to Fort Meade, Niobrara,

ment of the Missouri.

of Iowa, 1,400 lots, amounting to 14O
acres, in the manufacturing city of
Hammond, just across the Indiana
state line, the price paid for the prop

erected on the property and plant for
the manufacture of electric motors and
storage batteries. The plant to be
erected will cost about 100000. 1t will
be of a capacity of fifty bales, each of
1000 yards of cloth, produced by 5000
spindles, requiring 200 operatives. If
the enterprise is successful the product
will be increased.

If we NAV believe the third party
legislative program as outlined from
Alliance headquarters in Washington,
there has been a decided backdown
from the fierce demands of last fall. A
new and modified sub-treasury measure
is to be formulated, government own
e.'ship is to be replaced by government
control, and even the land loan busi-
ness is to be put in different shape. But
until the latter proposition is made tc
apply to every class Of citizens whose
real estate may be unproductive on
their hands, it can hardly hope to be
received with general favor. AS nov
outlined it elnbodies the very rankest
sort of class legislation.

The Fires Raging Along the Omaha Road
Doing Immense Damage.
ASHLAND, Wis, Sept. 23. = The
weather for the past few days has been
intensely hot and dry. Forest fires have
got under way and are sweeping along
almost with the velocity of prairie fires.
Several homesteaders toward the reser-
walton have lost their shanties and
barely escaped with their lives.
During the day the atmosphere has been
heavy with smoke from the surrounding
fires. Reports from down the Omaha
road state that the damage will be the
heaviest ever known unless the flames
are checked soon. It is feared that the
devastation will be even more serious
than that of last spring.
