val no works harder than any Nebraska farmer.
but he thinks he Is beginning at last to see re-
suits. When the Secretary first took charge OF
tho department no discovered that an espe-
cially good field for his missionary work
was tho Bureau OF Animal Industry. which. in
n general way. has charge OF the matter Of In
yestlRatinR contagious diseases among cattle.
and has charge also OF the export and inspeo-
ton VI animals and OF all questions pertaining
to the quarantine stations and the Interstate
movement OF cattle. II was In this bu-
roau that the Secretary ran across the
great system OF microscopic inspection OF
pork. under which the Republican Admins
tration was able to employ agents all oser the
country to examine pork with microscopes to
determine tho presence OF trichlnI. and to
keep these persons employed long months
after the Government had officially announced
that the disease which the microscopists were
employed to examine had ceased to exist
Tho microscopists have nearly all boon dis
charged now. and the Secretary. as a sort OF
m EN- ento OF their existence. has had prepared
n little table that shows their usefulness and
justih cation for their employment. This table
shows the following facts:
The microscopic investigations Of pork COM
menced in Juno. 1891. and were abolished In
~
pounds Of pork exported to countries req uir-
ing certificates was 2eSl4.52a The est mated
value OF such exports. on the basis Of II cents
a pound. was s3.577.74336. The cost OF the
microscopic investigation OF this pork In sala
ries alone was SPA .ND and to this expen,
diture was added SOL q m onth for the rental
OF the buildings, in which the microscopists
worked. Tho value OF this sort OF inspection
can Ue Judged from tho fact that Germany.
where the bulk OF American pork Is shipped.
pays no attention whatever TO the American
certificate. but reinspects all exports on
q very large amount Of pork from. the
United States without any inspection ut all.
The most remarkable fact about the pork in:
spection Is that at one point IN the United
the exports during the twenty-thrse months
that the inspection was in progress on basis
OF ~ cents per pound, was SH25.52 and IT
cost the Goyernment to inspect this amount OF
pork Just S4.334.OS.
After Secretary Morton had discharged all
tho microscopists who had nothng to INSPECT.
and had effected all the reductions that he
saw In sight. no made up another little table.
what he had accom- plished IL tho way
OF economy in the few m onths that he had been
in Office In one branch OF the service alone.

days and some times even longer the
drive is done then some more money
to spend and then to hunt. Perhaps
you have noticed on the end Of timber
letters or characters stamped on them,
they arc the stamps Of the log owners
and each log is also bark marked, that
is in the woods the swampers take
then axes and hack the mark on them
the same as are stamped on them; and
some rather queer marks the logs
have some times; | can assure you
such'as rabbit tracks, crow foot or
marks that would look like them, but
doubt il any one could tell what they
were unless they knew. Each mark is
registered tho same as cattle brands
and any log that has that brand on be.
longs to the man that owns the brand.
Down the river at the rafting grounds
the men know all the marks and who
ewns them; and at some Of the rafting
grounds a great many marks pass
through, for instance at Beef Slough
at the junction Of the Chippewa and
Mississippi over twelve hundred marks
90 through there. All the logs are
RATED and towcd down the river to
the sawmills there to be sawed up in
to timbcrs, scantling and boards.
After awhile they find their way to
Nebraska where the farmers buy them
and pays from $1,000 to $4,000 per
thousand for them; and nail them on
a corn crib and when the corn shelter
comes along they will smash them
up into kiudling wood and so ends
the biography Of a pine board.

Obituary.

Again has the angel Of death visited
the ranks Of the l.. Of G. A. r. of Red
Cloud, taking this time sister Marcie
Graham. She became a member of IN.
Sherman Circle No. B., by the title given
her by and through the hardships and
cares and sacrifices of her now deceased
father, comrade Charlie Davis, whose
life blood was rendered as an Offering on
the altar OF his country, during the war
OF the rebellion. Oh how proud Of that
title was sister Margic. Often when she
was in conversation she would manifest
in plainest terms her appreciation of the
right to belong to the ladies' Of the G. A.
X.
Sherman Circle feels a great loss in the
death OF sister Margie. She not only
leaves a place vacant around the fireside
at home with husband and children for
oil that knew her, knew her TO love her.
But we all know that she leaves a place
vacant in this world; but fills another in
the better world above where life will be-
Tree fromSpain and. full Of happiness.
During her illness she talked Of heaven
where she would meet her angel chill.
dren' mother saw father who had gone
before her. The funeral services were
preached by Rev. Horton. The remains
were laid to rest in the Hope Cemetery.
Memorial services were conducted by the
ladies' OF the q. A. II. of Red Cloud, which
wns grand and shows the love and esteem
the order has for its members.

From the monumen', the beautiful
designs OF the flower gardens can be
seen, and the blocks are outlined with
trees. We had a very pleasant trip
down the river to Marshall Hall, the
old home Of Chief justice Marshall, of
historical fame. The House and
grounds arc kept as nearly as possible
as they were when the Marshalls lived
there; and here VIC saw the family
burying ground with the queer, old
fashioned inscriptions on the tomb
stones. The dinner VIC ate here
seemed in keeping with the antiquity
OF the house and the grounds. It
was antique also. We almost wonder.
ed it the meal was cooked in the time
OF Chief justice Marshall. We went
to Mount Vernon, yesterday. It was
a beautiful day and the trip was dc.
ilghtful, AS VIC wandered through
the old house, and saw the quaint
furniture, the straight backed chairs,
and the queer old fashioned pictures,
l tried, in vain, to realize that this
was the house and furniture used so
long ago by Washington. The most
interesting here, to me, was a suit Of
clothes worn by Washington, and a
lock OF his hair. We saw also a cane
and a pair Of spectacles used by
Washington. l tried to imagine his
fatherly eyes, looking through the
spectaclcs, at me. There arc many
places Of interest I have not yet visited,
bnt | hope to visit them all before |
come home. l hope all my friends,
can sometime come to Washington
and enjoy the sights for themselves.
Hoping this will find you and all nv
friends we'll and happy, 1 remain,

An Interesting Letter From the
n aiiOnal Capitol.
Especial Correspondenccl

l'ItSidi OIIcSDOnucuCcJ
WAsHIdNTON, ID. G. Aug. 1G, 1893.
MIR. HOsMER, Sir: Your request
for a letter just received, and it is
with great reluctance that l comply,
for only those who have seen the
Worlds Fair and Washington in all
her glory, can realize how feeble all
attempt at description must be. l will
say very little Of the fair, as we made
a flying visit, being there only one day,
We saw most Of the principal build
ings, and attained a good conception
Of the grandure and beauty of it all.
Many Of our own friends will 20 and
see for themselves, and they will find
it much more enjoyable than reading
a description Of it. The trip over the
mountains was very delightful. TO a
girl who had seen only the plains of
Nebraska and Iowa, it was wonderful.
From Chicago VIC me over the Penn
sylvania Central this road winds down
through the valleys by beautiful little
mountain streams. We passed around
the great horse shoe bend, and down
the Conemaugh Valley, and passed
Youngstown, the scene Of the flood.
To see the busy thriving little town,
one would hardly think it had been
the scene of such a disaster. W. saw
a brick school building, standing on a
hill; it was the only building that
stood the food. Since We came to
Washington W. have been sight sce-
ing every day. The most interesting
place to me is the Capitol. 1t is in
deed a magnificent building, built en-
tirely Of marble. In one end is the
House Of Representatives, in the
centre the Supreme Court, and in the
other end, the Senate chamber.
The Capitol is filled with very bcauti-
full and costly paintings and statuary.
There is a painting in the dome of the
Capitol, which cost $4,000. The
artist lay upon his back, on q scaffold-
ing to paint It. Underneath this
painting is u circle Of designs in the
marble, representing historical events.
The sculptor died before he had finish
ed the work, and no one has been
found to finish il. The scaffolding is
still where the workman left it, and
the work is still incomplete. The
d oors in the cast side of the rotunda
are of bronze and cost $50, 600. They
are covered with designs representing
historical events. All about the Cap
itol are elegantly furnished waiting
rooms and Hobbies. The grounds
about the capitol arc very beautiful,
The Botanical Gardcns Join the Cap
itol grounds, on the west. Many of
the most beautiful plants had gone to
the Worlds Fair, but the gardens
looked very beautiful. Some of the
walks arc lined with palms on both
and the walks, fountains and
beds are delightful. The most
beautiful view We obtained of the
city was from Washicnton Monument.
The monument Is $50 feet high.
As the elevator rose higher and high

nervous, and drew a sigh Of relief
