Over in Kentuky one day last week a
couple were married at a rural picnic.
1t was an occasion to be celebrated. The
groom made a speach in which he stated
that he had thirteen feather beds at
home and that he expected to fill every
one OF them. The men laughed, the
ladies blushed, the bride ducked her
head, the boys giggled and the band
played "Baby Mine."-Ex.

What J. A. Fillmore Said in Relation to
the Strikers.

the Strikers.
In a letter to Judge Armstrong, dated
Monday, General Superintendent ]. A.
Fillmore says in relation to a certain
statement alleged to have been made by
him:
"They misquoted me entirely-that
is, left ont part / did say, which was to
the effect that l would use every effort
possible to keep out of employment in
this state those that had burned or de-
stroyed our property, disabled our en-
gines, taken up track, run cars off the
track and killed our employees. The
question was then asked me if this ap-
piled to those who took part in the
strike. l said to those that were not
active and did no damage to property it
did not. A great many went on the
strike through intimidation and threats,
and those the company had nothing
against, and they would be re-employed
as new men,"

The Truckee Republican says w. R.
Dixon, the saloon keeper, went below a
lew days ago and it is the belief of many
mat he does not intend to return to

being the Boca Mill Company. Last
Monday the latter attached the stock
and fixtures of the saloon to recover
the amount due.
AS a matter of news the DISPATCH said
the boys would put some of the Hum
boldt County Politicians in consomme
his campaign whereupon the Silver
State gets the belly ache and says it can
run politics of Humboldt county without
the assistance of the voters tells the Dis
PATCH to mind it's own business and the
voters to do the anne. Therefore the DIS
PATCH will continue to increase its circu-
lalion in Humboldt county by giving the
news and the voters will put the afore-
said politicians in the soup: the Silver
State will be the only monopoly in Hum
boldt and will get thin in the warm
weather because of having no other mo-
noply to rage upon. A piece of news is
not a "dire" threat. People have won
dered why you never had any news.
They will understand you labored under
a delusion.
The man who neglects to do his share
in political work abdicates his place as a
free a actually sells ont his birth
right to the fellow who will do his own
and the others share, and of course
make such doing turn to his own advan-
tage. Ii every clear-headed and clear
minded voter in the land having bodily
health sufficient to enable them to do so,
will take an active part in the local poll
tics of their cities, towns or wards, asso-
ciating themselves with those only who
wish the public good and community
gain, the entire field of American poll
ties can be revolutionized speedily, and
the reforms accomplished rapidly and
without difficulty, that are most de-
manded. But as Mr. Roosevelt well says,
1.-THE man who wishes to make his IN
1uence felt for good in our politics must
act purely as an American. If he be not
deeply impued with the American spirit
he cannot succeed. Any organization
which tries to work along the line of
caste or creed, which fails to treat all
American citizens on their merits as
men, will fail, and will dcseve to fall
Record Union.

CURIOSlTIES ABOUT SUGAR.
Necessity of Modern Life Which Was Un-
 known to the Ancients.

Necessity of Modern Life Which Was Un-
 known to the Ancients.
 Sugar, the modern commodity which we class among the indispensable ne- seSNtieS, was wholly unknown to the ancient nations. The word "saccha- Tm' occurs but once in the Latin translation of the Bible, and the equiv- iIent tO our word sugar is first used by Plinv, whose writings are almost ;ontemporaneous with the ministry of Dhrist. He calls it "honey collected in iroml reeds, and says that the Romans arSt became acquainted with its use in Arabia Felix. Statins, in his account i the old Saturnalia ceremonies, men, Hons vegetable honey" as being used, and winds up his account by saying mat "the same honey is boiled from LIoNlan reeds" Dioscorides, the Greek pnySlcian who flourished in the first or second century of the Christian era, ,no whose great work, "De Materia "edlca, treats of all the then known medicinal substances and their proper ues' says that the name of sugar has Veen given to the honey which is pro- auced by reeds without bees" and Slrabo, writing concerning it, says: They lthe people of Arabia Felix) make honey without bees from reeds ana It sometimes resembles salt" Ar i@h' Tn his Circuit of the Red Sea-" s"udeS to the sap which flows from eeoS' thickens like honey and is sweet the taste" Seneca, whom Cham CeFS encyclopedia says was "born at Vordaba a few years B. C." writes con- 'rnIhg the use of burned sugar" '"ohg the people of India, and con iuueS by adding: Tn my opinion the uSeoi sugar spells the teeth" Nearchus eJS that sugar cane was first made auo"n to the western countries by the sD"queSts of Alexander the Great.

PADS AND HOBBIES.
Absurd Sometimes, but They Often Serve s

Absurd Sometimes, but They Often Serve a Good Purpose.
 Blessed, indeed, is he that hath hobby of any kind. Somebody has said that fad is the most effectual anti dote to the miseries of everyday life that can be found, and will keep even the arch-enemy, old age, at bay longer than anything else. Let it be music, painting, or the study of, and conse- quent interest in, anything scientific or even thing of elementary intelli- gence only. Collections of all kinds add an immense zest to middle-agcd existence-collection of books and rare bric-a- brac, down to collections of pressed flowers or insects. lnterleav- ing book of history or a story with suitable photographs will be found an interesting and satisfactory occupation for idle hours; and although school girls diaries have been laughed out of existence, anyone might compile most interesting story of his life by adding to a simple narrative of passing events, pictures from illustrated papers, pho- tographs, clippings from newspapers, dltl OtlNlS anu CilAlo Ol uid"lllGoY dIl oA which would be most valuable in the years to come, not only on account of association, but as furnishing trust worthy data in regard to events.

PULLMAN EVICTlONS.
Tho Strikers Must Leave Their Houses-A
 Gloomy Outlook for Them


 Gloomy Outlook for Them.
 CmcAGo, Aug. 1.-The Post prints the following from Pullman: Pull mans tenants will be evicted. Vice President Wiclses said so yesterday. The company claims that it must find houses for its new employees to live in, and as the strikers have been camping in the Pullman flats without paving a cent of rent for the last three months, they must get out. This move is the Tery last in the big strike and it will forever discomtit the employees. The company's houses cover about 5000 people at present. These 5000 consist of the striking workmen and their families. There are about l 1000. new men in the shops that have families and that desire to live near their work The old employees must make way for the new.
 This will be death blow to the ten ants who have been the strikers. They have very little money. When their scant supplies of household furniture are set out on the broad street it will be impossible for them to move them away Even now they cannot afford to buy a pound of coal to cook the raw potatoes they get from the relief committee. The pros- poets are gloomy indeed for the poverty striken occupants of the company's barraclls-like rows of houses. But Mir. Wickes' assertion as to the company's intention of begin ming the work of eviction was very positive and unmistakable. It meant volumes to any one who understands the condition of the Pullman strikers at this time.

I'll have them combs if have to go as high as fifty cents for 'em."- Youths Companion.

Troops on Gunrd.

OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 1.-Two compa' nies of state militia, the Thurston rifles and the Omaha guards, of the Nebraska national guard, were sent to South Omaha at o'clock yesterday morning and stationed as guard around the packing houses. The strikers were in an ugly mood, but no violence was at tempted. The strikers soon withdrew to distance and awaited the coming of the new men on their way to work.
 Several more companies of troops from the interior of the state arrived last night. The strikers are quiet and offer little opposition to the soldiers.

Watch Over the Presidents Children.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 8. President Cleveland is afraid that harm may come to his wife and children who are sum- mering at Gray Gables. This is shown by his action in directing Secretary Carlisle to give instructions to the se- cret service bureau to have on duty at Gray Gables during the stay of his family at that place three detectives in the employ of the government. The president is apprehensive that some one may attempt to kidnap one of his children, and it is to prevent any such occurrence that the detectives have zone to Gray Gables.
