TURKEY is an ideal country in some respects. Only two strikes were ever known to occur within it's borders. One was of backyard laborers in the government employ for arrears in pay, and the other was of cigarette makers in government factories for the exelu sion of women. The dockmen got their money and the women were turned out.

Some Army Surgery.

We were obliged to wait at
PeduCah for our boats and busted
ourselves for two days in aiding
the surgeons and citizens, who
were untiring in their efforts to
relieve the suffering. Churches,
stores and school houses were
hastily improvised into hospitals.
Many private residences were
filled. Some Of the most frightful
wounds of war we saw here; and
decidedly the worst surgery. One
poor fellow was wounded in both
legs. A round ball had entered
the tleshy part of one leg and
tlattened on the bone, where it.lay
imbedded. The ball entered the
other leg in front and passed out at
the thigh, shattering and splinter
ing the bone. The surgeon laid him
on the table and cut off one leg :;
after which he discovered that he
had made a mistake and taken off
the wrong one; he Immediately
turned the sufferer over on the
other side and cut off the other
leg. What became of the mangled
body | never learned.-Mrs. DR..
McClelland, in Blue and Gray for

Washington Letter

FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT,
WASHINGTON. D. C. September 10th 1894
Things have been quite lively, even
exciting at times, in political circles
during the past week, Notwithstanding
the absence of Congress, the President
and majority Of the members of the
Cabinet. The first flutter came when
Senator Jones letter, withdrawing from
the republican party and connecting
himself with the populists, was made
public. That was a national sensation
which promises to be far reaching i'll it's
effects. The populists claim that it
makes them absolutely certain Of hold
ing the balance of power in both Senate
and House of the Filty-fourth Congress
and many republicans and democrats
admit that the claim is not a wild one
but is based upon what now appears to
be very plausible probabilities. The
next excitement followed when there
were rumors that Senators Teller, Of
COL, and Dubois Of Idaho, were about
to follow the example of Senator Jones.
Senator Dubois, just before starting for
home, disposed of the rumor so far as
it related to him by denying that he
intended leaving the republican party
during this campaign, but intimating
that he might do so later il the party
did not favor silver more strongly than
it does at present. Senator Teller has
not been in Washington since several
weeks before Congress adjourned, but it
is not believed that he has any idea of
withdrawing from the republican party
at this time.
Another political event that stirred
things up in Washington was the reso-
luton adopted by the Louisiana sugar
planters, in favor of aching with the
republican party hereafter. This was
regarded here as practically the flop of
state from the democratic to the re-
publican party, as the sugar planters
are regarded as the ruling influence Of
the state. That the administration
quickly recognized the Importance Of
the m we was shown by the attempt Of
Secretary Carlisle to hand 1t off by Civ
lhe public, in an interview with Repre-

Written in Memory OF w. Alfred Fogle, who
departed this life at Franklinyille, Nd,
August 22nd, 1894, aged year l month
and % days.
Little Alfred was our darling,
Bright and cheerful, full of glec;
In our home flower blooming,
One We always loved to see.
But one day we sadly missed him,
From our presence he did stray;
Quick we sought him, yes we found him,
Cold add lifeless was the clay.
Sad it was to see the flower,
That had bloomed bright in our home ;
Crushed by death SO unexpected,
Carried DER the Jordan'S foam.
Little hands are gently folded,
On the tender, peaceful breast;
And the little body's resting
While the Spirits with the blest.
Farewell little darling Alfred,
With the angels up on high;
Some glad day we hope to meet you,
There "in the sweet by and by"
A Friend.
