.>.s Miller Press
The readers of Hand county have
waited patiently for the independent
organ to defend or acknowledge War.
dall's Fidelity fizzle, the "Hold your
wheat" circular, the "Cordage Trust
deal, Senator Kyle's democracy, and
various other shortcomings of the peo.
pies party men, and at last the Gazette
finds space to admit little article On
the wheat deal. It has been proven
that the hold your wheat circular issu-
ed by alliance independent.peoplesp par
ty leaders was paid for by wheat spec
ulators to beat the farmers. The Gaz-
cite published the circular and advised
farmers to take 1t as gospel, and now
is forced to apolyglze for it's part in de-
ceiving the farmers. Last week 8 issue
of that paper contained this letter from
the editor of the Great West, lndepend-
ent paper of Minnesota:
ST.. PAUL, MINI, Mch. 80.
Ed GAzETTE:-Within the last six
months an agent of the English Syndicates
came to our office and offered.,$5 900 if we
would issue the hold your wheat circulars
from this office. 1t was promptly declin-
ed and another sheet was promptly secured.
Yours Fraternally,
EVERETT w. FISH.
Following which the Gazette &C
knowledges it's error:
cat the time, we ourselves were deceiv-
ed in the origin and purpose of the fam
Gus circular, and now that the scheme is
exposed, let the true authors of deep laid
plot of the wheat market thieves pocket
the Doodle as we'll as the stigma"

Rapid Transit for the Farmer.

A practical illustration of the benefit
to the farmer of the proposed system of
freight service viii soon be given in
Maryland. where an electric road eight
cen miles long is being run through a
first class farming country that the
steam railroads have not touched. This
road will not only be used for passenger
traffic, but will he equipped with freight
cars that will have a capacity of five tons.
No matter how muddy the highways are
or how stormy the weather, the motor
trucks upon which the farm wagons are
wheeled will always be ready to carry
their loads to the nearest market, and to
bring back their return load when re-
quired. .-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Cause of the chinese Trouble.

Secret societies extend all over the
Chinese empire, and their name is legion
They are semireligious, and have, as a
rule, the power of life and death over
their members. The Triad society is one
of the strongest. 1t was the cause of a
great rebellion in northwest and middle
China at the beginning of this century,
and its object then was to overthrow the
government. This rebellion lasted eight
years. 1t caused the devastation of the
provinces in which it went on, and there
was much bloodshed.
The secret societies We're mixed up in
the Tai-Ping rebellion, which very nearly
resulted in the overthrow of the Manchu
emperor. 1t is said that the present
troubles are largely due to these secret
societies. Some of them have their
members in every province of the en-
pire, and they embrace the Cinnamon
living at Singapore, San Francisco and
all other parts of the world Every one
has heard of the Highbinders of San
Francisco, who have their courts and
punishments, and are the terror of the
Celestial colony there.-Frank G. Car

A Heavy Blast.

One Of the most terrific and effective
blasts ever made in the extensive stone
quarries at Glen Mills, West Chester, Pa,
was made the other day. In the face of
that portion of the quarries which is
opened about eighty yards in length nine
holes twenty-five feet in depth were
drilled at equal distances apart. In these
500 pounds of dynamite were placed, and
all responded to the touch of the electric
button at the battery, several hundred
yards distant.
Hundreds of thousands of tons of stone
were raised and broken by the explosion,
many of the pieces being as large as a
freight car. The arrangements for the
blast being generally known in that Sec
ton hundreds of people assembled to
see il. The amount of stone loosened by
the explosion will be sufficient to keep
busy the several large crushers for many
weeks.-Cor. Philadelphia Ledger.

A Soldiers Bible.

While Miss Winter, of Emmittsburg,
was overlooking her childhood's treas
ures, she came across an old Testament
which she found on the site Of soldiers
camp near there during the war, after
the soldiers had left for the field of Get
tysburg. On examining the book her
eyes fell on the name ':Samuel Wolcott,
Griffin's Mills. Erie county, N. "" and
Miss Winter decided to write to the ad-
dress, thinking the owner would like to
recover the book.
In few days she received a reply
from Mrs. Weaden, of Clifton, N. j.,
stating that she was sister of the SOL
der and the only living member of a
large family. She said her brother had
returned home from the army in 1868.
and died in 1854, and Miss Winters let
ter had been forwarded to her as his
nearest of kin. Mrs. Weaden seemed
much pleased at the idea of recovering
this long lost memento of her dead
brother, and Miss Winter sent the Tes-
lament to her.-Baltimore Sun

Death Of an Old pitcairn Islander.

1Death OF an Oio Pitcairn Islander.
A Norfolk island correspondent reports
the death, at the age of ninety -four, of
Mr.. Buffet, an old and much respected
member of the island community. He
had been connected with the Pitcairn
community for the long period of nearly
seventy years.
Early in the twenties QS22) the Eng
,lish whaler Cyprus, ON her way home
after an extended and successful cruise,
and before starting on the then lonely
and perilous passage around the Horn,
called at Pitcairn island for fresh provi-
sions and to recruit. Just at that time
the island elders began to feel the want
of a school teacher for the young COM
munity fast growing up, and expressed
their wishes to that effect to the captain
of the Cyprus, who, without hesitation,
willingly agreed to help them, if posi-
BILE.
The result was that Buffet, then
young man on board, of fair education,
was sounded, and he gladly fell in with
the wishes of his captain and the COM
munity, went ashore with all his belong
ings and thenceforward threw in his lot
with the islanders. He was not long,
however, schoolmaster, as on the ad-
vent of Mr.. Nobbs, some few years later,
majority of the parents wished for
change, and of course Buffet had to ac-
quiesce.
Mr.. Buffett's residence, even on peace
full Pitcairn, was not without its excit-
ing episodes. In 1881 occurred, at the
instance Of the English government, the
exodus to Tahiti, and the community's
return some months later curtailed
through sickness of many of its mem
bers. Then again, in 1886, during the
reign" of Mr.. Joshua Hill, Buffet and
his two compatriots, Nobbs and Evans,
together with their families, were for a
short period banished to the Gambler
islands by this arbitrary gentleman,
where the exiles were kindly treated, and
remained until the storm blew over.
Lastly, the final departare from loved
old Pitcairn to the new home at Norfolk
island, 5000 miles away.
Buffet was an ingenious worker in
wood, and his handiworks in the shape
of cabinets and such like are widely dis
tributed, the old familiar legend, ''made
from the wood of John Adams house."
being always kept up and no doubt add
ing attraction to the goods. Until three
or four years ago Mr.. Buffet had the full
use of all his faculties, but for the last
eighteen months he has been totally
oblivious to passing events. = Chilian

The biennial crop of candidates for
state and county offices is beginning to
bud and in some instances put forth
leaves. As an exchange says We cannot
all agree as to which party we can act
with but we do all agree as to the neces-
sity of good government. Good govern
ment begins at the bottom. To leave
the primaries to few local workers who
generally take their cue from the party
bosses is mistake. The best element
society affords is none tco good for a
primary. If the people want good gov
ernment and clean candidates they
must guard the primaries above every
thing else.

One Way of Advertising.

One of the meanest and most heartless
of advertising tricks consists in sending
round to peoples houses, and especially
to ladies, advertisements in telegraph
envelopes, or in envelopes which initiate
them so closely that no one supposes that
they are anything else until they are
opened. Saturday evening-it was in the
evening, let it be noted, when ordinary
messages are hardly expected-a lady of
the Listeners acquaintance, who had
been very i'll. received one of these mis-
sives She is weak and broken, and
being summoned to receive what she
supposed to be telegraphic message
gave her severe shock A worse case
than this is an actual one of sea cap
tain's wife who lives in an outlying por-
tion of the city. The captains ship has
been long overdue, and all the people of
the neighborhood sympathized with the
wife in her agonizing suspense. There
came call to the door &c for message"
and the lady answered it with her heart
in her mouth.
She tore open the supposed telegraph
envelope, only to read the message, 'sYou
are wanted Immediately at = fremont
street to test the merits of the new -
sewing machine" Naturally everybody
in the neighborhood is indignant, and
such an advertisement is certainly bad
policy, for there is not family there
about who would purchase sewing ma
chine of the make advertised if any
other kind was to be had Perhaps a
like feeling of Indignation, stirred up in
many neighborhoods, will have the effect
to put an end to this offensive and
mischievous kind of advertising, which
no reputable firm, it would seem, would
engage in.-Boston Transcript

The fact that Governor Pennoyer has
signed the Dalles board of trade circular
urging our congressman to work for q
portage railroad at the dalles has en-
couraged the friends OF the measure to
send blank circulars to the governors OF
Washington and Idaho for their sigma
lures also. The CHRONICLE suggests
that circular be sent to Senator Allen
to see " hat he would do with it. The
people of Oregon have observed with re-
gret that while the Senator has always a
good word to say for any purely inter
nal or sea coast project in which Wash
ington is interested, if he has ever said
a word in favor OF an open river it has
never been loud enough to reach Oregon.

why tho Opening Was Delayed.

The opening of the recent church con-
gress at Rhylin, Wales, was delayed for
half an hour by the nonappearance of
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and every
body wondered what had happened. The
archbishop had lost his crozier. This
emblem was locked up in leathern case,
and was carried off by a servant, who
thought it was a gun, and locked it up
in room full of breechloaders and car
tridges. Whether the congress would
have been adjourned if it had not been
discovered is question which does not
call for immediate reply.-Christian

A Chapter ON Oysters.

Oysters are fatter this year than
ever saw them before" said restaurant
oyster opener. 81 don't know why, but
usually the fatter an oyster is the poorer
the flavor. This is because the fat oy-
ster has generally been out of the water
too long and has been fed. That is not
wholly the reason this year. They are
fatter anyhow.
can oyster is best on the half shell,
about twenty-four to forty-eight hours
after he is out of salt water. Eaten be-
fore that time they are apt to give
cramps. Yes, the male oyster is the
best, but we don't come across q male
more than an average of once in fifty
times. New York Herald.
