81 don't expect to-" said 'Jrs. Jones,
with an air of meek resignation. Have
you fastened thecullar dooc"
mo, hain't but Ill see to it this
minute" and Farmer Jones went out
to attend to the outside cellar door,
while his nervous little vie gave her
personal attention to other doors and
windows, not stopping lntil she had
visited every door and window in che
house.
'I'll feel better about Il If see to it
myself" she soliloquized. DARIUS is
that careiess't he'd forr!s to lock the
doors, t say nuthin' bout seein' to the
winders."
Her round of inspection was ended at
last, and, with sigh of relief, she
sought her sleeping apartment. Darius
had preceded her some little time, and
his heavy, regular breathing gave
ample evidence Of his entire freedom
from earthly cares and annoyances.
Dear me- SAID the troubled woman,
as she quietly reclined beside her un-
conscious husband, IF l could only
sleep like hat, it'd be worth while goin'
to bed, but | don't b'lcevc | can sleep

Tick, tack, tick tack; the big clock in
the kitchen sounded unusually loud,
and it seemed to Mrs. Jones that she
had never known the hours to drag
| quite SO slowly. Three o'clock and still
the situation remained unchanged. Da-
rius snored peacefully on, but sleep
came not to the weary eyclids OF the
/ troubled woman who had almost con-
! cluded to get up and begin her house
hold duties, when she thought she heard
a strange noise outside, and. listening
intently, she soon heard it repeated,
this time so loudly that there could be
no mistake about it. With wildly
beating heart she sat bolt upright try
ing to locate the sound. 1t was at the
back kitchen door.
DARIUS, Darius" she tremblingly
whispered, but Darius was not easily
walened, and it was not until she had
shaken him with might and main that
he awol1e to realizing sense of his
surroundings.
There's somebody at the back
kitchen door" She gaspcd. Il heard
him walk on the plank"
1t was now Darius turn to listen,
and prese atty his ears were greeted by
rasping sound at the rear of the
house Rake, rake, rake, it sounded
through The house with startling dis
tinctnesS.

she dropped back on her pillow in alb

s,obbers in Horses Is Due to the Eating

A Virginia farmer asks why eating
second growth of clover sallvates

increase the flow of saliva? He alsc
desires to learn if there is more min.
cral in the second growth than IN the
first. 1t is evident that he associates
the word salvation with mercurlals OF

one time kind of curs-all for all kinds
of diseases in man as well as the lower
animals. and cases of salvation were
supposed to he exceedingly numerous

DECLARED A DRAW.


Ryan Had wilkes Badly Used Up When
the Police Interfered and stopped the
Ain.
OM&gIA, NEB., July 3O.-A fight TO q
finish tonight was started here at 10
o'clock this evening between Tommy
Ryan. of Chicago, the champion welter
weight, and Jack Wilkes, Of ST. Louis.
The purse was S3,OOO Ryan had the
best in the earlier part of the battle,
but Wilkes recovered himself before
the close and was getting in some good
licks, when the police stepped in and
stopped the fight. The fghtwas there
fore declared draw.
Although Ryan had the best OF the
contest, the referee declared the fight a
draw.
The men had been in the ring for an
hour and five minutes, and it lacked
fifteen minutes of midnight when they
went to their corners for the last time
by the orders Of police.
The floor Of the ring was covered
with blood and both men were covered
with gore, the most of which had been
drawn from Wilkes by the terrible
punishment inflicted on his face by
Ryan.
Ryan was apparently unhurt, while
Wilkes face resembled raw beafsteak.
Both his eyes were nearly closed, his
teeth were loosened, his nose was spread
over his face. and several long gashes
were visible on his cheeks.

tions Biu Goes over as Unfinished Bus
iness TN December.
WASHINGTON, July 31.-The Senate
was In session to-day for only three
hours, but within that time it accom-
plished some important results. The
two principal events were the postpne-
ment OF the anti-Options bill TO next
session and the passage Of a joint reSo-
luton extending the appropriation for
the branches OF the public service in
cluded in the sUndry civil appropria-
tiou bill, which still hangs fire in the
House, up to aud including Wednesday
next, August 3.
The action Of the Senate in originat-
ing a measure Of this kind which has
been always regarded as within the ex-
elusive domain Of the House OF Repre-
sentatives may be resented by that body
when ia meets at II o'clock OnnMonday
but Senator Allison, chairman of the
committee on appropriations, preferred
to run that risk rather than the more
serious risk OF having the business OF
the government come TO a Stand-Stlll
in the government printing office, the
light house service, the liie-Savng serv-
ice, the bureau Of engraving and print
Ing, the coast survey and all the other
branches included in the provisions OF
the sundry civil bill.
As 20 the anti-option bill Mr.. Wash
burn recognizing the impossibility OF
having final vote upon il at the pres
ent session submitted gracefully TO the
inevitable and had the bill postponed
till next session when IL will come up
again in the advantageous position
which IL had occupied for the last two
or three weeks as unfinished business.
Some casual remarks having been
dropped in discussion about the exodus
Of Senators from the Capitol and as to
the probabilities Of there not being a
quorum present next week, a series OF
remOnstrances against such a state Of
things were made by Senators Allison
and sherman, both joining in the de-
claration that Congress would not ad-
iourn until the Sundry civil appropria-
tion bin was disposed Of and that there
could not be a final adjournment with
out a quorum in each body.
The Senate adopted q resolution on
Mr.. Sberman's motion instructing the
Vice President to telegraph TO absent
Senators 10 return TO the city and to
notify those in the city TO remain until
the final adjournment Of Congress.
The resolution for a select committee
as 10 the employment OF Pinkerton de-
tectiveS at Homestead was referred 10
the Committee on Education and Labor.
The House resolutions as to the
death of Representative Craig, Of Penn
sylvania, were laid before the Senate,
aud Mr. Quay thereupon offered resolu-
tious which were adopted, expressing
the Senate's deep sensiblity at the an
nouncement and providing for COM
mittee of three Senators TO attend the
funeral.
Messrs. Cameron, Carey and German
were appointed. The Senate then as a
further mark Of respect TO Mr.. Craig's
memory, adjourned until Monday.
