kept by farmers. Their quaint call and shy
habit show that they are not far removed
from game birds, which almost everywhere
are disappearing. No kind of fowl lays so
many eggs. Their meat is dark colored .,
and to those unacoustomed to game it is
sometimes not thought good; but this wild
flavor is just what very many like, and
more would ik.they tried to overcome preju-
dice. The guinea fowl ia any yard is one Of
the best defenses of domestic fowls from
hawks or other feathered enemies. They

Poultry do best in small fiocks and in
new places. The hen house ought never TO
be the large, immense HfTair capable of ao-
commodating several hundred hens. II
disease or vermin get in such q house it IS
almost impossible to entirely eradicate
either. The large building may afford
cheaper accommodation for each Individual
fowl, but in the end Il will not prove so
profitable as q large number OF smaller
houses that can be moved from place TO
place and secure perfect isolation for focks
during at least the summer season. In the
winter the houses may be moved nearer to-
gether for greater convenience In feeding.

birthday presents. The evening was
stormy, and some of the little folks
were considerably frightened for time,

Democratic Mass Convention.

A mass convention of democrats will
be held at the court house, in the city
Of Medicine Lodge, Kans., on Satur-
day, April 18th, 1892, at 2 o'clock p. M,
for the purpose of electing three dele
gates to the state convention at Salina,
April 10Th, which convention will elect
delegates to the national convention at
Chicago, Illinois, June 2lst.
AS full attendance is urgently re-
quested, let every democrat, irrespect-
i've of other ties and lnclinations, come
out on this occasion, and by your pres
ence show that the patriotic fires OF
earnest devotion to principle, which
long years of disappointment and de-
feat have not been able to quench, still
burn brightly upon your heart of hearts.
Come out and assist in choosing dele
gates who, without doubt or equiyoca-
ton, will faithfully represent the true
and devoted democracy of our county
in the state convention.
AS the political horoscope for 1892 has
been already cast, and everything pre-
sages grand democratic victory along
its lines, it would ill become the democ-
racy OF Barber county to murmur in
their tents while their brethren through
out the entire Union are actively pre-
pairing to charge the enemy in his in
trenchments. Come, then, remember
ing that a democratic victory next
November means tariff reform in
the interest of the masses, eter-
nal opposition to force bills, billion
dollar congresses, subsidies, monopo-
lies and vicious class legislation of all
kinds. To all who desire to assist in
the attainment of these objects, and
the performance of this patriotic duty
hearty welcome awaits them at the
above convention, Saturday April 10Th

castle gates by the police and dispersed
after sharp fight. They rallied several
times, but the police were masters of the
situation every time. Turbulence was
almost entirely quelled by afternoon. The
police did not interfere with people unless
they seemed bent on mischief, or were
heard expressing sympathy with the out

either arrested or ordered Instantly home.

The committees entrusted with the So
lcitation of shares of stock in the Moline

position to subscribe for stock in the cor
porstio n taking the view that not only
is i: a safe investment, but it is the best
means yet devised of improving the cities
engaged in the undertaking. and CT
bringing them nearer together.
The only question is how much people
are willing to take in the company. Ga
this poiut all should make decision so
that when the committee call they may
subscribe their name, save tina and thus

the two cities is at stake in upholding

iect thus becomes their pride, and as
such it will win. What will be your por-
ton?

Hollow Tree.

Hollow Tree.
DUBLIN, KY, Feb. 21.-Thursday party
of hunters succeeded in freeing coon
and were unable to dislodge him. Then
they chopped down the tree and to their
amazement found that it was hollow, and
that i'll the hollow was lodged a skeleton.
The coon was forgotten and every one
crowded around to see the skeleton. The
clothing was carefully examined, and in
the pockets were found papers which
proved the remains to be those of Henry
Hayden, who disappeared seven years ago.
0uarreled with His Brother-in-Law.
Large shot were found in the clothing of
the skeleton, proving death TO have re-
suited from gun-shot wounds. 1t seems
that Henry Hayden lived near his brother
in -law Robert Price. They failed to get
along together and had frequent quarrels
One day Hayden disappeared, and some
were not slow to accuse Price of knowing
something about it. Shortly afterward
Price took his family and the fam lily of
Hayden and went to Texas to live, and is
now there.

Fritz keener. father of the senior member
of the firm of keener & Pike, who failed
at Meredosia on Jan. II, carrying with its
assignment want and restitution into
hundreds of homes along the Illinois bot

the amount lost to the poor people by the

pressing cases of need. The scenes attend

stances affecting in the extreme.
The Firm IA Household Word.
The name of keener mas been Il house
hold word in this section for half a CEN
fury. Thomas and Fritz Keener began
business i'll the '40s when the Illinois river
was the great artery of trade for this part
of the state. Their headquarters were at Ma
pies, a town in Scott county, though they
had branches in several other places up
and down the river, and did great bust
ness. When the war broke out they had a
fine credit. Anticipating a rise in grain
they bought heavily, and during the first
year of the late unpleasantness they were
tremendously overloaded.
Remembered Their Friend.
Destruction stared them in the face,
when a brother-in-law, Jacob Ensminger,
then in business in St. Louis, came to their
rescue and enabled them to carry their
grain. A subsequent rise in price sent
them as far ahead as they had been be.
hind. To their credit they remembered
their benefactor, and when be failed few
years later they opened a warehouse in
this place and kept him in business as
long as he lived. About twenty years ago
Thomas keener died and John l.. Pike
was taken into the firm, which became
keener & Pike. They continued to do
business in the old way and made cOnsid-
cradle money, though the increase of rail
roads decidedly curtailed their trade.
