Ringing Hogs.

The following novel plan for ringing
hogs may be OF service for those who
practice it: Take stick, say an old
fork handle three or four feet long,
and one inch from end bore * hole;
four inches from this hole bore anoth-
er 3 inch hole. Then take a & inch
rope and run through first hole with
knot on the end Of the rope. Then
run through the second hole and leave
loop, the lower end Of which is five
inches from the stick. Tie a knot on
upper side of stick, then cut the sur
plus rope off and YOU have a long
holder. Take the stick in your hands
with the rope loop hanging down, walk
up to the hog, reach the stick out and
slip the moose over his nose and with
a quick motion move your hands over
his back; pull back a little and twist
on your stick; the same as you would
put twitch on a horses nose, and
you have your hog. He won't move
as long as you keep the rope twisted.
After you have rung two or three and
got used to it you can take your rings
and ringers and ring 100 hogs anhour
easily. [ always ring mine and my
neighoor's hogs alone. II a hog is in
clined to be ugly SO much the better,
for when he opens his mouth to bite
you have him, for there will be no
trouble getting the rope over his nose.

The Champion Umbrella.

Salem can not only lay claim to the
famous witch pins, to it's Witch Hill
and the first meeting house, but it
can also produce undoubtedly the
champion umbrella OF the world, an
umbrella with the wonderful record of
forty-four years continuous faithful
service in storm and sunshine for a
single owner, and yet is not worn out,
but 1t as impervious to Jupiter Plu-
vlus as in the days. OF it's youth, and
strong in frame and when first taken
home bright and new from the OLD
fashioned hat, cap and fur store, long
a Well-known landmark on ancient
Essex street. Considering the way
Wardness and peculiar disposition of
the modern article to disappear lust
at the moment OF need, it is refreshing
to learn in the will Of the late Mr.. ].
Linton Waters, OF Salem, this bequest:

Waters, my venerable umbrella, now
in perfect order, with the carved
handle bearing a silver plate-spu1-
chased Of the late Stephen Osborne in

be always kept in good condition."
The umbrella is Of the good old

LAND CONTESTS.
Rights of Indians to Allotted Land and
Settlers Who Claim Title

Settlers Who Claim Title.
WASHINGTON, Special Telegram, Aug. 18.
commissioner Carter has determined to
try the issue OF the rights between Indians
who have been allotted lands on the Sioux
reservation and settlers who claim title in
some Of them.
In reply to inquiries by the register of
the land office at Pierre, s. D., he has d.
rected that in all cases contests brought
by white settlers against Indian allotments
notice OF the contest shall be mailed to the
Indian who claim is assailed, in care of the
Indian agent and duplicate copies of such
notice shall be sent direct to the agent in
charge of the trib, and also to the allot-.
ment agent at the time on duty in the vicin-
ity otthe agency. The agent and the allot-
ment agent will be expected to prepare and
present such defense as the Indian may
have, and the hearing will proceed in the
local office and in the DEPARTING nt precisely
as other contested cases.
1t is expected that the Indian office will
not recognize the right OF the settlers to
contest all Indians allotment, and will
probably enter the plea of non-jurisdic.
ton OF the general or local land offices.

Midsummer Mistakes.

The farmer is likely to let the pigs
and lambs care for themselves for a.
season, just now, says the Orange
Judd Farmer. 1t is bad policy, how
ever, as this is critical time when
thought and care do much for the
young things. 1t is mistake to al
low full diet of corn now with the in
tention of substituting shorts, oats,
etc., after harvest. The Crane ma
teriap' will come into the building too
late to add the needed strength. The
right method is the only successful one
for feeding breeding stock: II one has
no regular pasture for the swine, it
should be provided from a corner of
the meadow at once. After August 1
weaving lambs can be turned into the
corn field, having by this time cleaned
the stubble field OF the small grain.
They will eat much of the useless grass
and weeds as we'll as the lower blades
from the corn stalks. This policy is
much wiser than to allow them to
continue on the stale stubble or on
parched and exhausted pastures, al
ready overstocked. By this change
the regular pasture can be permitted
to grow full aftermath for early
winter feeding

Want of Care.

At first farm drainage was, in some
respects, failure on account of
using tile that We're too small and
having them imperfectly laid. The
farmers are now digging them up and
putting in larger tile and laying them
with the use of level. One of our
best and most intelligent farmers
will not have tile laid until a survey
is made and the levels taken by 8
competent man. Farmers are also
putting branches or streams Of con-
siderable size underground into tile;
streams that it was once thought i'm
possible to bury in this way. A
stream near our factory has been
tiled in this way and the land pro-
duced 100 bushels of corn per acre
the first year after being ditched,
which paid the expense OF ditching and
a fair profit besides. Large bitches
are cut from four to FIVE feet deep,
thus preparing large body of earth
to absorb the water as it falls. A
shallow ditch would not take the
water so rapidly. Our tile are all
sold of last years make at fair prices.
We make both brick and tile.-O. D.

SWEET SIXTEEN.
How the Belle of Colfax Attempted
to ElOne.

How the Belle of Colfax Attempted
to Elope.
Referring to the recent attempt of a
young miss of that place to elope, the
Colfax Sentinel says:
There was considerable excitement and
talk in ColfaX last Saturday night and
Sunday. TWAS all on account of an at
tempted elopement. On the night of
Saturday, not long before the clock
struck ten, it was noticed by the parents
that their sixteen-yeaf-old daughter was
not In her bed as they had supposed.
Early In the evening the young lady
retired, but did not remain there a great
while.
Her sweetheart knowing that her par
ents objected to her marrying so young
had successfully planned. as the couple
supposed, to elope that night. He had
hired team that day; also driver, who
evidently knew Of the scheme. After her
folks had retired she packed up her ward
robe and made good her escape from the
house. A little later the trio were on
their way to Auburn, but it happened
that they did not reach that place.
The parents on finding that they had
gone, immediately started the Con-
stable i'll search of their lost
daughter. He overlook the carriage
not many miles from Colfax and brought
the midnight ra1nblers back to town.
we refrain from mentioning names on
account of the parents, who are highly re-
spected people, for they certainly feel bad
enough over the affair.
The young lady has repented of her
rash act, and we trust that all will 60 well

YESTERDAYS GAMES.

Sacramento Wins One, and San Fran
cisco the Other.
SAN FRANCISCO, May N.-In the morn
ing game at Emeryville the San Fran
ciscos played a miserable fielding game,
and Otto Young pitched wild ball, send
ing ten men to first base by his failure to
put the sphere over the plate.
The Sacramentos had the game won in
the second inning, and finished first,
hands down, by score of to 5.
The afternoon contest was a brilliant
exhibition in the face of its being uneven.
During the first three innings the fielding
was superb on both sides. The home
team found France an easy man to hit,
and gave his curves lively drubbing.
The San Franciscos, outside of Cobb's
muff of little fly, played perfect ball.
There was great deal of phenomenal
work also in the fielding of the Senators.
Wards batting. base-running and field
ing were the features of the game. Peoples
played a wonderful game at short, al
though having three errors on very diff
cult chances. The San Franciscos hit
freely when men were on the bases, and
won by score of 10 to 2.

A Wonderful Machine.

There is no doubt that man is fine
mechanism, but like every other ma
chine he wears out by friction. 1t is said
that he is born again every two or three
years. His body is virtually re-made
from food. To retard this making over
is radically wrong, as a man loses SO
much vitality in the delayed process that
it takes long time to recuperate. The
process of making ANEW is so accelerated
by purging with BRANDRETH's PILLS
that new man, as it were, may be made
in two or three months, and the change
in the mechanism is such that the worn
out part is replaced by the new without
the usual running down of the entire
machine. You don't have to stop for re-
pairs. Purge away with BRANDRETH's
PILLS the old, diseased and wornout
body.
! BRANDRETH's PILLS are purely vege-
table, absolutely harmless, and safe to
take at any time.

UNREQuITED LOVE.
A Young Man Who Sought to Stay the
Girl He Adored.

There was quite commotion on Ninth
street, not.a great way from K, last even
ing. A young man who is well known
about town was seen chasing young
lady down that thoroughfare, with q
cheese-knife in his hand. He brandished
it wildly, and the paralyzed spectators
expected each succeeding moment to
see the fleeing young lady's corset laces
cut in twain.
But just as the deadly weapon was
about to descend citizen rushed up and
seized the young man-and the young
lady escaped.
E1t was said that until very recently the
same young man and the young lady he
was trying to carve were friends-lovers
In tact-and had been such for two years.
But another won the frail females affec-
tons, and her former lover became de-

this dependency was transformed into
a desire for his used-to-be sweetheart's
lie, and the young man put pistol into

play, Big Billy Bowman rose, took an
thoughtfully as he selected bat, that he
was not playing ball for his health.
Goodall tossed him teazer and Bowman
wrapped his bat four times around it and
moment later the ball was trying to es-
cape such brutal treatment through a hole
in the center field fence. Harry Lyons
shagged after it and Bowman galloped

MAXWRLL.S BACKERS.
Sharp Criticism of Those Who Favor
His appointment.
[San Francisco Alta, May 23d.l


San Francisco Alta, May 23d.l
There are seventeen great bureaus of the
Worlds Fair. California was awarded the
headShfp of one of these, but the SenSeleSs
personal opposition of a few men who have
their own particular candidate and Will
accept no other, makes it questionable
whether we shall not be deprived of the honor
once within our grasp Chronicle
Honors are honorable only when they
are honorable. The workers and pro-
ducers of this State, who toll and sweat
and risk their credit in the development
of its rural industries, are the men who
should be consulted in the selection of u
candidate for the ''honor" referred to by
the Chronicle. They were not only not
consulted, but they We're snubbed and
insulted and jeered at and lied about
when they did express a preference
They were beaten by the use of the most
dishonorable political methods, and they
saw their interests put in the hands of
those who have never shown any further
interest in the industries of the State than
to prey upon them. 1t is for this reason
that Woodworking producers like Hatch
and Buck and hundreds like them object
10 what has been done. 1t is not because
these producers were committed to one
candidate or the other, but because they
were overrldden by gang unknown in
any useful industry. Abusing them is
not going to better the cause of the few
VINO consplred to achieve personal ends
by bad methods and then appeal to State
pride to support State disgrace. 1t is
fortunate that the concurrent raid upon a
State exhibit, which the same gang be-
gan, but did not succeed. The plan to
take 100000 from the State Treasury to
build a clubhouse in which a gang could
practice its debaucheries did not succeed.
California will have an exhibit, and her
toiling producers will support it and the
State will get the benefit of it. Every
man who knows anything about the issue
knows that it is question of personal
character and fitness only, and that
those who represent the trouble to be
caused by anything but the survival of
the unfittest do not represent it truth
fully.
