charge OF sending a challenge TO w. a.

car and conveyed TO the criminal court.
Collier had a more exciting experience.
AS he and two friends jumped into

Deputy Sheriff App showed warrant In

But quick as lightning Sheriff APP was
pulled into the carriage. The negro
hackman was told 10 drive Ike mad TO
the depot. APP ordered him to stop in
the name Of the law. The officer at
tempted TO use his gun within the car
riage, but Collier and John McCollen
grabbed his wrist and prevented him.
APP fought like a demon. and the flesh
was torn from his wrists. The deputy
made lunge got out Of the carriage,
and Jerking out his pistol, levelled IL at
the negro and pulled the trigger, but

hammer Collier and his two friends

Mr. J. p. Baize, an extensive real
estate dealer in Des Moines, Iowa,
narrowly escaped one of the severest
attacks of pneumonia while in the
northern part of that State during a
recent blizzard, says the Saturday
ReUiew. Mr. Baize had occasion to
drive severa miles during the storm
and was so thoroughly chilled that he
was unable to get warm, and inside
of an hour after his return he was
threatened with a severe case ofpneu-
monia of lung fever. Mr.. Baize sent
to the nearest drug store and got a
bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy, of which he had often heard and
took number of large doses. He
says the effect was wonderful and in
short time he was breathing quite
easily. He kept on taking the medi-
cine and the next day was able to
come to Des Moines. Mr.. Baize re-
CARDS his cure as simply wonderful.

X. C. Gazette: The Santa Fe has
concluded to resist the collection OF
it's taxes. 1t will be remembered that
the Populist board, after delaying the
business several weeks, raised the
assessment of the Santa Fe about five
million of dollars, which means an
additional tax of 100000, while other
roads received a comparatively signi-
ficant raise. Whether the figure is
too high or not we are not prepared
to say, but that the raise is discrim-
ination against this particular COM
pany, and that it was prompted by
political cussedness there is no doubt.
1t will be hard on many frontier coun-
ties whose principal source of income
is the Santa Fe tax. A fight of this
kind will attract some attention to the
practice required by the law of assess
ing all property at its real value.
The law is not complied with. and
when the cou rts is called on to deter
mine such a question all our assess
ment and collection of taxes may be
ripped up.

THE DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE


The second of the series of articles
on the governmental departments at
Washington was published in the X.
C. Sunday Times, December 8, and in
the Weekly Times, December Z. 1t
relates to the Department of Agricul-
ture and occupies, with the illustra-
tions, fifteen columns. The story fur
nishes an inside view of the depart
ment and will probably give many OF
the readers of the Times their first
knowledge Of its extent and impor-
lance. Until recently the great agri-
cultural interests of the country had
no distinct and separate representa-
tion in .the Cabinet, but much of the
work now performed exclusively by
this department was divided among
the other departments of the govern
ment.
The readers of the Times will
doubtless be surprised at the rapid
development of the work in this de-
partment and of it's distinctive success
and manifest importance judged from
the standpoint of the results obtained.
By means of the scientific expert
ments, which are possible only here
and under liberal government sup
port, the pests which formerly caused
crop failures in whole sections of the
country, as well as many of the di-
seases which have been the terror of
stock raisers, have been mastered and
banished.
The direct benefits to agriculture
resulting from the work of this de-
partment cannot be over estimated.
Originally considered the least i'm
portant of the departments, it is rap
idly coming to be the most important,
if it be proper to make comparisons at
all between necessary things.
All this was recognized by Presi-
dent Cleveland, and his desire to
bring this department of government
to the highest rank of efficiency led
him to exercise the greatest care in
selecting for its head a man whose
pre- eminent fitness was recognized
whenever known, and particularly
in the western States.
Secretary Morton is strong man, a
liberal-minded, Woodworking gentle
man of wide experience aud positive
opinions which he advocates with en-
ergy and fearlessness. 1t is fitting
thing that the man who originated
Arbor day in the United States,
which is now observed throughout the
country, and which will probably
lead to the repair of much of the in
jury resulting to the country from the
waste in our forests, should be at the
head of the Department of Agricul-
ture. Such a man is necessarily a
man of original ideas, and this is the
character of man needed just now
for the Department of Agriculture.
which is in formative state, and the
future usefulness of which will de-
pend upon the foundations which are
now laid and the rules which are now
made governing the character and
scope and manner of the work here
after to be entrusted to its care.
