To Promote the Growth of Feathers.

To Promote the Growth of Feathers.
To make feathers grow The Feathered
World advises to damp the bare places
on fowls with acetic acid and add lit
tie peas meal and a pinch of flowers Of
sulphur to the fowls soft food. Com
menting upon this advice The Fanciers'
Journal says: "The advice is worth a
trial, but as rule high feeding with
good pasture produces abundance OF
feathers. We have successfully used tar
oil on bare places of fowls, and tar itself
is excellent to use where growing chick
ems have been robbed by feather eaters
of the new quilts. The latter are filled
with blood which invites feather eating.
A good dose of tar will stop it, but care
should be taken to feed cracked fresh
bones to the flock"

wyIic, the Cyclsr, Doing the "Dead
Broke Act From New York to Chicago

wyIIc, the Cycler, Doing the "Dead
Broke Act From New York to Chicago
The ''dead broke" bicycle rider, Harry
billiard Wylie, who is travelling from
New York to Chicago on his ''cheeK, !"
arrived in this city at o'clock last
evening and is stopping at the Hotel
Van Keuren. He came from Browns
vile, Pa, yesterday, covering SO miles
during the day.
Mr.. Wylie is a journalist, and his
home is in New York. He left New
York just a week ago last Monday.
When he reaches Chicago he will prob
ably accept a position on the staff OF the
Chicago Inter Ocean. He is medium
sized young man of dark complexion.
He is slender but his muscles stand out
prominently, and show that he is able TO
stand his long ride of one thousand
miles.
His ride is the outcome OF wager
between the proprietor Of the Eagle
Bicycle Company and friend, The
amount OF the bet is $4,000, and II Wy
lie covers the distance he is to get 81, 900
and his hacker the rest.
The conditions of the ride are severe,
and the slightest deviation will be suli-
cient to make the hacker lose. The en-
tire distance is to be ridden by him
without paying cent for food or cloth
ing, or any damages to his wheel, or de-
frauding anyone. Everything must be
on the square. He left New York a
week ago last Monday night at six
o'clock, aud was two hours and half
getting across the ferry. A number OF
his cycling friends gathered at the
Ferry, and when be would approach a
fsrry6oat to ask for free ferriage, they
would make break for the same boat,
each representing himself to be the
dead broke" rider. He finally man
aged to elude his friends aud reached
the other side in safety.
In Philadelphia his bicycle was hid
den from him for four hours by friends
who sought TO delay him until he
reached the tow-path of the Chesapeake
and Ohio canal.
His wheel is we'll covered with mud
where he has, ridden over rough roads.
On the large wheel is canvas cover
ing, upon which is painted in large
black letters: From New York TO
Chicago. Dead broke"

Vim Genuine and sham.

Every good thing has its host OF imita-
tors: every genuine article its counter
feits. The imitators always choose the
most valuable and popular article to
counterfeit, so that when they claim
their sham to be equal, or as good, or
the same as "So-and-So's," the public
NAV depend upon it that "So-and-So's"
article is the best of the kind. The
sham proves the genuine merit of the
thing it copies, and never has this been
better illustrated that by the imitation
of ALLCocK's Porous PLAsTERs.
ALLcocK's Porous PLASTER is the
standard Of excellence the world over,
and its imitators in their cry that theirs
is "as good as ALLcoCK's" are only en-
phasizing this fact and admitting GALL
COCKS" to be the acme of perfection,
which it is their highest ambition to
initiate. The difference between the
genuine and these limitations, which
copy only general appearance, iSas wide
as that between copper and gold.
The only safe way for purchasers is
to always insist upon having ALLcocK's
Porous PLAsTERs. They are the only
perfect pasters ever produced.

TIE Grant Refused.

Some time AGO the Terminal Railway
Company made application before the
BenwOod Council for the right OF way
for an extension of its tracks along
Water street IN that city TO the Ben
wood mill. The proposed tracks were
TO be placed east of the Ohio River
tracks, and would have taken up a con-
siderable portion Of the street. Prop
erty owners along the street held sew
eral meetings in regard to the matter,
and asked the Company to settle with
them before the ordinance was passed.
Their claims for damages were consid-
eyed too high by the Company, and moth
ing was done in the matter. The ordi-
nance came up finally at a meeting OF
Council Tuesday night and was de-
feated. Whether the Company will
make a further effort to reach the Ben
wood industries is not known.

May Not Be Allowed to Vote In Illinois.
A Serious Question Raised

May Not Be Allowed to Vote In Illinois.
A Serious Question Raised
CHICAGO, October 26.-Another ques-
tion will present itself to the election
commissioner as result of the regis
tration here. 1t is whether government
clerks who have been in Washington
can vote in the precincts in which they
once lived. A large number OF pension
and printing Office clerks presented
themselves at the polls for registration.
Some were refused and those accepted
were told-that their names would be
followed on the books with mark, in
dicating that they were not qualified
voters. Chief Clerk Taylor who was in
the Office when the government en-
ployes called to learn what decision
would be made, said he could find no
law allowing persons to vote where they
do not live.
Il have looked uhon the law" said
he, land cRn find no such provision,
although the applicants claim federal
law In their support. Many Of the en-
ployes have been in town but day or
two, and when they made answer to
that effect to the registry clerks they
hesitated about entering the names.
Some OF the applicants are staying at
hotels, and when asked where they live
cannot give a satisfactory answer.
Zone man came here to complain who
had not even gone back iuto his old pre-
cinct to register.
During the day Mr.. Taylor sent to U.
S. District Attorney Milchrist for an
opinion on the question. Mr.. Mil
christ thought, on first consideration,
that the Washington employees had a
right to vote somewhere, but he could
not construe any Federal statute to in
terfere with State laws. His advice
was that the registry clerks should &C
cept the names and then strike them
off as they would in the case OF any sus-
meets.

1t Isn't Free Trade.

Tariff Reform does not necessarily
mean free trade 1t means an improve
ment of the weak points Of the present
system. That's something that ought
TO be popular with everybody. The new
Tariff Reform" cakes baked by the
Wheeling Bakery are popular with ev-
erybOdy already. One reason IS they are
simply delightful cakes. Another is
they represent a popular sentiment;
poDular with both Republicans and
democrats. You can get Tariff Re-
form" cakes from your grocer. Ii be
hasn't them in stock tell him to get
them for you.
