together by the same tremendous
and overwhelming danger; and
that his purpose was to effect a
powerful and permanent union, of
these elements thus sparsely repre-
sented in the gathering before
him.
Many speeches had been made.
some sensible and beneficial,
others tedious and tiresome, by
delegates who desired additions to
tho resolutions, rejecting their
own eccentric ideas.
Governor Tillman was then
called for and came forward. He
took a position on the floor near
the presiding officer, DR.. S. S.
King, and on a level with his
audience. He then slowly, in a
distinct and moderate tone, be-
gan hissspeech. I will not attempt
to give any abbreviation, as you
have most probably received the
whole of it, either by telegram Or
by the st. Louis Republic, in
which it was published N full on
the next morning. but will essay
to write only of It's delivery and
effects.
From the time be took the floor
there was the closest attention
and in twenty minutes every
auditor knew that he was listening
to speaker of transcendent ability
as a political leader. He had no
polished oratory in either voice OF
gesture; but hi9 words were clear,
direct andi unmistakable, striking
home to the point intended at the
end of every sentence like the shots
of skillful artillerist who plays
his gums at pleasure from front
to right and left with exact preci-
sion.
All Who heard him saw at once
that he blazed out the way for q
political movement as wide as the
continent and of immense pos
sibilities; and which if properly
organized could overthrow all
opposing organizations and parties
and unfurl it's standard on the
Capitol at Washington.
Quick PERCEPTION, directness,
sesolute will and audacity-that is
Tillman. His closing declaration
aroused his already electrified
audience to wild outburst of
enthusiasm. In less than sixty
minutes he had made a lasting
impression on the people of this
great valley, and it's echoes will re-
vertebrate for many a day. He is un-
doubtedly a natural leader of men
and may become the chieftain Of
millions who now have no poll
tical cohesion. Have you any

WASHING.

For those who have time to do
it nothing pays better than annual
washing of the stems of fruit trees.
1t helps to keep the tree clear of
dead bark, which is all advantage,
and tends to destroy MOSES and
the spores of fungi. BY this time
insects have very generally gone
into winter quarters or deposited
their eggs and made preparation
for perpetuating their kind. Wash
ing at this seaaon will destroy
many that have found lodgment
about the trunks of the trees. The
old-fashioned lime wash, with the
addition of sulphur and a little
SCOT to quiet down the glare IF the
lime, is very good. A wash of
soft soap, weak lye, or potash has
been found to be not injurious to
trees and is obnoxious to insects.
Our favorite wash fer this season
of the year is bucketful of COM
mon whitewash in which is dis
solved one pound of copperas
(sulphate of iron) and one-half
ounce of carbolic acid. We are
satisfied that it is help against
sun scald and partial protection
against gnawing of rabbits or
mice. Moderate pruning may be
dono toward the last of the month,
provided the wounds made are
covered with white paint or graft
ing wax to prevent evaporation and
injury from the weather.

simultaneously made her breath

A Historic English Jury.

An odd jury-to modern ideas
indeed the oddeit of all-was not
a joke, and was impaneled during
the most sober and serious period
of English history. Most news
paper readers have doubtless heard
some of the names, for they are
often quoted as examples of puri-
tan nomenclature. Here is the
complete list as recorded duly in
the annals of the court of Rye:
Accepted Trevor, Redeenner Comp
ton, nt-Not-Hewet, Make Peace
Heaton, God Reward Smart, Stand
Fast-on-High stringer, Earth
Adams, Called Lower, Kill-Sin
Pimple, Return Spelman, Be
Faithful Joiner, Fly Debate Rob-
erts, Fight-the-Go -Good-Fight-Faith
White, More Fruit Fowler, and
Hope-For Bending.
The Philadelphia Record asks
the question: "Why Butler of
South Carolina, Dubois of Idaho,
and Peffer of Kansas, are not as
much anarchists as Emma Gold
man or John Moss?" The same
paper commenting on Senator But
ler's course in the Senate says:
"He has become one O. the loudest
champions of free silver coinage
and one of the most violent OBJ
structionists in the Senate.

When one says of anything it is

farmers and others who have been vic

have been admitted to do business in
Kansas or that have failed and repudi.
ated the payment of losses.
In several instances insurance has
been written in companies that do
not exist. From letters on file in the
insurance department it would seem
that the firm of Il. =. ELVES IL Co., OF
6, s, 10 and II Pacific avenue, Chicago.
are the general agents for many of the
concerns above mentioned now being
worked by local agents in this state.
Snider says he has absolute proof OF
this fact. He exhibited several letters
from parties who had been victimized.
stating that the firm of ELVES Il Co.
were the general agents and forwarded
the policies from Chicago.
The companies worked here were the
Washington Union of Ohio and two
West Virginia companies, neither OF
which were ever admitted to do bust
ness in Kansas. The first-named failed
some time since and has persistenly re-
fused to pay losses on policies issued
more than year ago.
