vENT1LATE THE CELLAR IN WINTER

~, Most farm cellars have no partitions.
mus IN one room are stored apples,
potatoes, other vegetables, the milk
ana butter, together with the canned
fruits and meat. The cellar is usually
located directly under the kitchen and
sIttlng room, and not unfrequently
The bedroom. It is a fact that unless
the fruit and vegetables are carefully
looked over every month there will be
great amount of obnoxious vapor
constantly coming from them to con
tamlna"e the atmosphere, and being
lighter than cold air it will rise to the
rooms above. Hence it is best on
pleasant days to open the cellar doors
ana windows for proper ventilation,
not leaving them, as many do, tightly
closed from early winter until April.
Milk and butter quickly absorb the
doors from decaying vegetation, in
!uring the quality and healthfulness.

Rubber Boots vs.. Rheumatism.

Since the general wearing of Rubber Boots
among farmers and other outdoor workers.,
your feet dry and you expose the rest of
your body with less danger. Among the vari-
Gus kinds of Rubber Boots, the " Colchester
Spading Boot " has become the most popular
Of all. The great improvement Of the Spa ling
sole gives ease and comfort in walking, pro-
tects the sole from injury and adds to the gen.
eral durability of the Boot. Be sure and see
the " Colchester Spading Boot" before you
purchase any other kind.

Congress and that any mention
made of him in this connection was
without his knowledge or consent.
The Judge is not a politician and
has no aspiration in this direction.
His highest ambition is to make a
reputation as a fair and upright
Judge, and, IS a matter of fact, We
feel sure that this district has in
Judge Hughes one of the best of
Circuit Judges. He not only en-
joys the confidence of the public,
but of the members of the bar
throughout the State as well as at

MEXICO, NO., Sept. 25.-DEAF
SIR: Mr.. B. o. Sims misunder.
stood both the LEDGER and myself
when he imagines that my briei
expression of preference for tariff
reform owe income taxation was a
shot from the real at Champ Clark.
l helped both to nominate and
elect Mr.. Clark and with the un-
d~erstanding that he was loaded for
bear, in the shape of robber tariff
and only wanted to remind Mr..
Sims and others hat no time or
ammunition could be spared for
small game until the big varmint
was dead or crippled.
There was no need to drag Mr..
Clark into the question, but 1 still
hold that to reduce taxes for the
multitude is ever more important
than to increase on a few and have
full confidence that Mr.. Clark will
agree with me and keep election
pledges in view. Democrats with
Greenbacker or Populist inclinations
would do well to show the same
amount of consideration for Mr..
Cleveland. Respectfully,

BRECKENRIDGE'S REPLY.
He Denies All Of Miss POllard's ALE.
cations Against Him.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. %
The reply of Congressman w. G. P.
Breckenridge, filed to-day to the
suit of Miss Madeline V. Pollard for
$50, 900 for breach of promise of
marriage, has caused a good deal OF
comment in legal circles here. 1t is
regarded as being an unusually full
document, and gives to the plain
tiff's attorneys the precise lines up
on which the defendant will contest
the suit. This ordinarily is not re-
garded as a safe or wise procedure.
MIR. Breckenridge denies that he
seduced Miss Pollard; denies that
he ever promised to marry her, and
denies that he is the father of any
of her four children.
He says that she accosted him
when first they met and requested
that he call on her at the seminary
which she was attending. She init
mated to him that a man of the
name of Rhodes had betrayed her,
and said she wanted legal advice.
He says that the numerous charges
brought against him by Miss Pol,
lard are wholly false.
So far Col. Breckenridge seems
not to have been affected politically
by Miss Pollard. His recommen.
dations for office in Kentucky are
being honored. His candidate TO,
Internal Revenue Collector at Lex.
ington has just been appointed, and
his friends are already canvassine
his Congressional district with the
VOW of clearing the way for his re.
turn to the House. He has asked
for a suspension of judgment al
home and as the suit may not be
reached for two years, the facts in the
case will not be available in time fol
the next congressional campaign.
Two of his old opponents have de
clared that they will not embarrasE
him by running against him unit
he has had an opportunity to cleal
his skirts.
The Rhodes referred to in Breck'
inridge's reply is James c. Rhodes.
who furnished the money to pay
Miss Pollard's expenses at school in
Cincinnati. She accepted his money
and gave a written promise to
marry Rhodes when she graduated
CALLED UPON TO RESIGN.
FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 23.-Ths
Evening Call, a daily newspaper Of
this city, in its issue of this after.
noon, calls on Congressman Breck.
inridge to resign his seat in the Ma.
tional House. The Call contains a
double Headed editorial on the sub.
iect, and among other things says
The people have a right to de-
mand that their representatives in
the halls of Congress should be men
who stand above reproach and Mr..
Breckenridge should resign until
such time as he can clear himself Of
the charges made by Miss Pollard,
The people are thoroughly aroused
and the "Silver-tongued" orator will
have to make his case very clear to
satisfy his constituency.
Continuing, the editorial says that
no man should be held in such a
high place who rests under such a
strain. The Call claims to voice the
sentiment of the people in the
above.

The Horn FLY.


Less than five years ago The horn
fly was unknown in the United
States. Now the pest can be found
everywhere. AS far as is known
the fly breeds entirely in manure
fresh from the stock. There are
several remedies. Greasy SUBJ
stances of almost any kind prove
to be the best preventives. DR..
Riley says, "a number of expert
ments were tried in the field with
the result that train oil alone, and
rain oil with a little sulphur or
carbolic acid added, will keep the
flies away for five or six days,
while with a small proportion of
carbolic acid it will have a healing
effect upon sores which may have
formed. Train oil or fish oil
seems to be more lasting in its effects
than any other of the substances
used."
OK. o. Dust is recommended
highly by Prof. Smith for killing
the flies by keeping the cattle well
busted with it.
The most certain means of de-
struction is to kill the flies in the
early stage. This can be accom-
plished by throwing a shovel full
of lime or land plaster upon each
dropping made by the stock. They
will be found most common in
shady places that the cattle frequent,
and by treating them in this way
once in two or three days, while
the dung is yet fresh, the fly will
be destroyed in large numbers
still in its infancy.
