Devices Calculated to Rob wood-Sawfng
of Its Tcrrors.
There seems to be great prejudice
among farmers and farm hands against
the use of the bucksaw. This, l be-
lieve, is mostly the result of poorly
contrived benches for supporting the
wood, and saws in wretched condition.
With the wood properly held and the
saw in fine condition, saving with q
buclssaw is an economical way of
working up wood, especially if it is in
poles of small size.
Oftentimes the chief fatigue of this
way of saving is the strain from hold
ing down the stick with the knee when
there is a long, free end overbalancing
the part supported on the buck.
To obviate this trouble neighbor has
sawbuck arranged like Fig. 2. In
stead of having the two KS it has
three, and the whole length, as meas
ured through the center pin, is three
and one-half feet. A and b are twelve
inches apart, Is and are thirty inches
apart and the saving Is done at the
end G. When the stick becomes so
short chat there are but two lengths Of

TEMPERANCE NOTES.
KING ALcoHoL'S DECREE.

The old serpent of all who has large brood,
And all of such evil renown
Decided that he who could d. the most i'll
Should receive the reward Of a crown
MY name is King Alcohol" proudly he said,
MY children l call half score:
Whisky, brandy, rum, gin, little cider and
wine,
And in bitters' have many more.
Snow millions of souls have won from the king,
They gave up themselves to my power;
But so many escaped He who captures the
crowd
Shall receive a magnificent DOVER"
Whisky beer, brandy, gin, rum, each put in
claim
ITEMS OF thousands we've captured" they
said;
While the rosy wine said; II rule Ger the
Kings
And the great ones who are not AFRAID"
Then came little cider, sharp, wiry elf,
stand aside, We old dotards,' said he;
"fou all must confess that the crown which we
seek
Belongs by fair rights unto me-
Who teaches the first stepsf without them who
would
Go at akin the way you desirei
Harmless cider they call me, yet am the one
Who lights the unquenchable fire.
The thirst which kinde no whisky can slake,
lts cry Is forever give more
Till the souls have won cross the river OF
death
And their time for repentance is DER"
"Take the crown little cider" King Alcohol
said
Lure the little ones into the snare;
In their safe, happy home, light the fires that
burn
In the depths OF eternal despair"

Bicyclists and Beer.

An American correspondent of The
Wheel, one of party of cyclists maxi
ing an extended tour through France
on their wheels, is delighted with the
good roads in that country, but COM
ments upon the difficulty they have in
procuring refreshing drinks, the wa
ter being warm and insipid, with a
strong impregnation from limestone;
and no ice, no soda water, as in this
country; lemonade, poor and costly;
and milk difficult to obtain after early
morning. And he adds: "Of course
there are beer and wine, and stronger
liquor in vast quantities everywhere;
but wheelmen find that they are not
very refreshing to drink while riding,
and, in fact, are positively weakening"
This is significant and valuable testi-
mony against alcoholic beverages from
new quarter. May all cyclists. of
whom there are now so many, with
their numbers constantly increasing,
and others, make a note Of it

THE ARKALON WAR;
A Posse Of Deputies Sherifs Follow
and Kill Four
OF THE FLEEING DESPERADOES
The Deputies Say They Will Chase the DsSpera-
does Into No Mans Land but That They
viii Capture Thsm-The Troops at
ArkalOn The Situation Critical.

KANSAS CITY, January IA special
to the Journal from Arkalon, Kansas,
says: The bloodshed arising for tbs
long continued trouble in Southwestern
Kansas is not yet ended. Deputy sher-
ifs have partially avenged the death Of
Sheriff Dunn. 1t is not known
TO be a positive fact, but 1t seems more
than likely that, as result Of the at
tempt OF deputies to bring the slayers
OF the sheriff to justice, and force an
expiation OF the murder, four OF the
outlaws were killed this afternoon.
The reports, however, need confirma-
tion before given absolute reliance. A
courier arrived here at noon from the
south line of the State. He reports a
running conflict between the fleeing
desperadoes and an armed posse Of pur-
suers. According to his report there
were two wagons loaded with fifteen
of the men participating in the canyon
battle.
They had been encamped in gulch
south Of Springfield, where they were
discovered. They saw their pursuers
start out the same moment and then
commenced the life and death race.
For ten miles the two parties went with
out coming within firing distance, but
just before dusk the pursuing party
came within less than quarter Of a
mild OF the desperadoes, and then the
firing commenced.
This running fight was kept up on
level plain for distance Of four miles.
Following one fusilade four men were
seen to tumble from their seats in the
wagons, one In one and three in the
other. 1t could not be ascertained
whether they were killed or wounded.
The pursuing party finding that their
jaded horses would not carry them fur
ther made detour Of half mile TO a
ranch, where they procured fresh horses
and the race was resumed.
The courier started back from that
point. he says the pursuing party,
numbering fourteen men, would follow
the desperadoes into No Mans Land, If
necessary, and bring them back dead or
aIive. Another courier is hourly eX-
pected, and with him news Of battle,
in which one side or the other will have
sustained serious loss Of life.
Governor Humphrey to-day made in
quiries as to the reason why the court
at Springfield had not been opened.
Judge Botkin had given notice that he
would open court yesterday and again
to-day. Instead OF doing so he went TO
Pratt to-day to attend the funeral OF
Dunn.
The result is one company is now at
Springfield awaing the pleasure OF
Judge Botkin, in the meantime aiding
the deputy Sheriffs in making arrests of
the men engaged in the battle. For
these over thirty warrants have been
iSsned.
There are now FIVE men held under
guard and the prospects are that no ex-
animation will be held until some TWEEN.
ty of the leading members Of the sup
posed organization have been arrested.

CHICAGO. January7.-Mrs. Julia +. john

THE ORGANIZATIONS
Of Labor Have Been Making InVestiga-
tiOnS Concerning
THE ALIEN COTRACT LABOR Law,
What It's Provisions Are, and Why 50 Many
Infractions Of it Have Been Permitted.
The Treasury Department OFF,
Gals TO Blame

PITTsBURG, PA, January THE
frequent violations of the alien contract
labor law. which was adopted through
the active efforts of the labor organiza-
tlons, more especially the glass workers
Of Pittssburg, will be subject OF con-
ference Of inquiry in New York this
week.
The consultation is for the purpose OF
arranging specifications that are to be
presented TO President Harrison, show
ing that the prominent provisions OF the
law have been repeatedly annulled by
the very officers whose duty it is to see
that it is enforced. The prime cause
for the failure of the law to act Is con-
fiict Of authority between Superintend-
ent Owens, of the Bureau Of Immigra-
tion, and First Assistant Secretary OF
the Treasury Nettleton, whose decisions
have been widely different on almost all
the cases when doubtful immigrants
were detained at the various points of
landing.
In letter to Secretary Cake OF the
Window Glass Workers Association,
President Harrison says he has received
several letters upon the subject but
they are all wanting in specifications.
An inquiry will be made as soon as Sec
retary Foster is able to be about again.
The letter continues: what we have
both said upon this subject ought to be
sufficient evidence Of our sympathy with
q thorough enforcement Of the law to
which you refer. Some OF the letters l
have received seem to go upon the I'M
preston that the Superintendent OF I'M
migration in the Trea ury Department
is an independent officer, while the law
only makes him bureau chief, neces-
sarily acting under the Secretary of the
Treasury Immediately, or under such
a one OF the Assistant Secretaries as
may be assigned.
'As have already intimated, in order
TO have any satisfactory adjustment of
complaints, there should be something
specific, but, as have said, such inquiry
will be made as soon as the Secretary IS
about with a view to ascertaining wheth-
er any one has been at fault"
The consultation this week is the re-
suit of the general demand from the
labor element as we'll as the immigra-
tion inspectors for q settlement Of the
meaning and purpose of the law. The
specifications asked for by the Presi-
dent will be forthcoming and an expla-
nation Of the law and why so many immi-
grants who are prohibited by the law
are permitted to land.
