&. d. Leidy's Body found in the Ruins OF

Of S. D. Leidy.
He had been out collecting and was heard
to return at eleven o'clock at night Part
Of the articles he had IN the carriage with
him were found on pile on the roadside
He never used lantern about the place
No trace Of the money he collected can be
found. Two suspicious characters who
were seen about the place in the evening

sure and complete remedy am willing
to 10 the best can for the present, and
now ask the help of all Florida to have
our legislature appeal ito congress for
orders to the Interstate Commerce. Com
missioners to enforce the same, or at
least, consistent and living rates as
other people and products have, and to
make the rates from Florida the same
as to Florida. We all know what this
difference is. A neighbor got a large
sugar barrel and a common flour barrel
of apples from Ohio, the freight was
$1.90. He put up two half barrels CT
oranges and billed them at four dollars
and some cents! What of Interstate
laws? Is the rate from Florida to New
York y cents while on the same truck
back it is so cents -why-how-What
OF this--is this Interstate commerce?
Maybe we are not counted State. Let
us have a railroad commission, let us
have our legislature pass on this state
OF affairs, and If we can't get relief and
justice the plan will be to let the truck
making alone, and leave the oranges to
rot on the ground. How much worse
would thousands of our people be to-day
had this been done. I say no worse
while the transportation men would
have been out just SO much. Bring in

Picking and Packing Tomatoes.
Pinellas, Fla,

At the request OF some Of our readers
following which was printed in this paper
last October
Tomatoes to be shipped several hun
dred miles must be picked just as they
begin to turn st the blossom end. To-
matoes should be handled with the great
est care, for q bruised tomato turns
The picking should be done in peck bas-
kets, lined with felt paper or cloth; then
on that domestic cloth This makes q
good, soft carrier. The pickers should
rub off all the stems. as they bruiee the
tomatoes where they come in contact
with them, oftimcs breaking the skin of
the finest tomatoes in the basket.
Select the best and most careful hands
to pick, letting some one else carry the
full baskets to the shed, and set them
down and return with two empty baskets.
Never pour the tomatoes out of the bas-
ket, but grade them right out on your
grading trays. At the shed where the
packing is to be done, there should be
plenty OF light and dry in case of rain.
Have wide counter with row OF
grading trays. Or baskets without ham
dies, in the center of the counter. The
tomatoes should be wiped clean and dry
and graded into seven grades: Ripes,
mediums, and greens. These are three
grades and each one Of these must be di.
vided into two grades, large and small;
Then the culs make the seven grades.
Now, let US see: First, large ripes; sec
Ond, small ripes; third, large greens;
fourth, small greens; fifth, large medium
1ipes sixth, small medium ripes; seventh
Culls. Graded in this way they will sell
better, keep better and pack better in the
crates.
First and second-class goods should be
packed in fancy crates or carriers, the
third grades put into some odd packages
like the one-third peach box. The four
basket crate is probably the incest pack
age at this date. This holds a scant half
bushel. When the little baskets are
packed they should he rounding, some
what like a turtles back, that is, the bas-
ket should be the fullest in the middle.
The empty baskets should be set into the
crates before packing or filling.
All the fine stock should be marked
Clancy" the second classed marked Sec
onds" the third class marked 'Thirds."
Mark the ripe stock with an "R" the
medium ripes, with an I'M, " the greenest
stock with &C." Ii you adhere to this
rule you will soon work up brand that
you and the commission men will both
be proud of. OF course the culls will not
be shipped. --Day's Tomato Culture.

No harm! 1t leaves the

SOME CLOSE QUESTIONS.

There is at least one Democrat in
Kansas who has kept the faith, and
that is Barney Sheridan, the brainy
editor of the Paola Spirit. In last
weeks issue OF his paper he asks
Democrats a lot of questions which
we think a great many who do not
take the Spirit ought to see, and sc
we copy them:
In what way would il be more dis
astrous TO the Democratic party OF
Kansas to have Republicans elected
or Populists elected?
Is there Populist newspaper or a
Populist politician of any note or in
any way notorious, that doesn't de-
nounce Grover Cleveland to-day?
Is there an honest, liberty loving
Democrat in Kansas who believes III
the theories advocated in the Omaha
platform and promulgated by the
present Populist administration in
this State?
Does any true Democrat believe in
the National government running all
the business and industries of the
country except what the State runs
railroads, telegraph lines, mills, coal
mines, loan offices. factories, grocer
jes. saloons, newspapers, hotels and
lightning rod agencies?
Who is the loyal Democrat to apollo
gize for the S20.O00.00 appropriation
last winter to mobilize an army mill
tia under the anarchist Artz to imi-
fate Republicans by holding ill-got-
ten power at the point of the bayonet?
Must Democrats sink their honor,
their individuality and manhood SIM
Nv to defeat the old faction of the Re-
publican party with the new faction
of the same Partya
Is candid belief mere idle abstrac-
ton to he bartered for the political
success of time-servers, Office-seekers,
chumps and Adventures? Must a
Democrat i'm Kansas stand up and lie
to put down his old political enemy
by elevating his new political enemy?
Is the qualification of politics after
all but an irideseent dream and are
our servants in the last contest to
throw Kansas out of the Republican
