Some Of our readers would like TO
know, where those gentlemen are at
who would not vote the Democratic
ticket il Cleveland was dominated.
Then il he did not give them free ell
yer, we could expect nothing else of
men who but to make just such a
platform as they did and elect just
such man on it, and then whine about
it just as they DO, and indulge in idi-
otic gibberish about 4 western man in
ninety-six. Why bless your simple
souls you could not have passed the
seinoriage bill without the help Of the
PopuIists and Republicans, and they
will not help you elect western man,
on any gerremander you can devise.
Gentlemen, we are here to tell you
that if you want western man join
the Populists; il you want free silver.
90 with the Populists; if you want to
take the enthusiasm out OF Bourbon
office-seekers, join the Popul,sts and
cut the salaries down one:-half, and If
you want party that is not afraid Of
England, nor all of Europe, behold
the Populists.-bevier Appeal.

No party ever had q be.ter oppor-
tuuity than the Populist this year.
OF course they cannot put majority
in the House, but with hard work
they can elect enough members to
hold the balance OF power and bring
one or both of the old parties to their
senses. II they cannot dictate legis-
lation they can at least prevent any
more picking and stealing and help
the people to throw of the yoke
which the plutocracy has put upon
them.
Such an outcome of the election
next November would be welcomed
by no one more warmly than by the
real Democrats Of the Democratic
party. 1t would he a salutary lesson

weaken the influence of The men

The Populists do not always know
what they want, but as rule they
are honest. They may yet develope

The American JugQernah.

No idol of Juggernaut, sitting
stolid and remorseless on its car as
it rolled along crushing its worship
pers beneath It's grinding wheels, was
ever more callous to the agonies of
those wretches than Mr.. Cleveland
has shown himself to be to the suf-
ferings Of his people
Aud no heather priest, enthusiastic
in the worship of Juggernaut, ever
propelled his car more mercilessly
over the PROSTATE forms of the self
sacrificing victims than Mr.. Cleveland
has dragged the triumphant car OF
mOnometallism over the adorers who
have bent before him.
He is crully, mercilesslv, remorse.
lessly waged an unrelenting war on
silver. He has steadily, doggedIy,
presistsuty forced this country to a
single gold standard. He has coolly
and deliberately contracted the cur.
rency during a period of the most
profound depression. and he has done
more to make the rich richer and
the poor poorer in his short career
than the Republican party did in its
long one. He has strengthened the
hands Of plutocracy tenfold more
than the Republican party did, aud
done more to destroy the very fOun-
dations of the peoples government
than any other one man in our his

The FIaxseed Crop.

According to reports received by Brad
streets, the prolonged drought is respon-
sible for a curtailmcnt Of fiaxsecd. The
flax plant, which in this country is
grown almost entirely for the seed, is
produced largely and as far as CONNER
cial purposes are concerned almost en-
tirely in tho northwestern states west of
the Mississippi river. Minnesota, South
Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas
figure prominently in the order named
in production of t1axseed. Estimates as
to acreage planted this year vary con
siderably, but the general conclusion
appears to be that the acreage planted
was not much in excess of that of last
year. Except i'll the state of Kansas,
which is a comparatively small produce
ing region, the weather for growing is
reported to have been quite u~nfavorablc,
the early planted seed having Jared
best, while the later crop was injured
by dry weather. Except in Kansas,
where conditions appear to have been
generally favorable. the outlook appears
to be for a considerable decrease in yield
compared with last year and the year
before last. In Minnesota, Iowa and
South Dakota, the three heaviest pro
ducing states, tho reported decrease
varies from 10 to 80 per con

Generally speaking, the grinding of
grain for fattening steers in tho open
yards is not followed to a great extent
in the western states. But when the
object is to put on the greatest amount
of fat in as short a time as possible
Prairie Farmer says that grinding no
doubt can be done with profit. An ami
NAL requires a positive amount of food
for ~sustenance, and tho greater the
amount of food consumed and turned
into fat on muscle, without waste, the
sooner the animal may be put upon the
market, and consequently with a pro-
~portionatcly less cost. In grinding oats,
as compared with bran, for milk cows
Professor Vol found that COWS invari-
ably did better on oats, going up in
milk yield when coming on oats and
going down when bran was fed. And
the average for six cows was IA gain of
about 10 per cent in milk and milk fat
in favor of ground oats. In another trial
conducted at the Madison station in
1889 it was found that when two-thirds
of the ration consisted Of ground oats
and one-third cOrnmeal 429 pounds of
feed resulted in 100 pounds gain as
against 100 pounds gain with 4O3 pounds
of feed when the ration consisted of d
ration of one-third ground oats and two
thirds cornmeal.

NEWS GATHERED At THE DAM
David Murray Comes Near Getting
Electrocuted at the Electric
Light Power House.
The Maccaroni Factory Will Start Up
Next Week-FlOur Mill Rushed
with Business.

David Murray, IN employe OF the
Great Falls street car company, came
near being el%ectrocuted last Tuesday at
the Boston and Great Falls power house.
MIR. Murray has been Employed in the
street car repair shops and this week
was detailed to assist ia making repairs
at the power house which we're rendered
necessary by tho recent fire. Among tho
items OF damage was II good deal Of wire
on which the insulation had been burned
or, and these had to be removed and
other wires put in their place. Mr..
Murray was engaged in this work and
us the current was turned otf there was
no danger in the work, but no
he was cautioned by the electrician to
contine himself to Il certain portion of
tho building MS he had no experience IN
electric wires and ut one end of the room
there were several live wires. This part
of his instructions no evidently forgot,
for he took Il step.ladder and, climbing
up, took hold Of two live wires, ono
with each hand. This, Of course, con-
pleted Il short circuit, and about 3lOO
volts OF electricity passed through him.
This is as strong Il current as is used
in Auburn, N. V, Tor the purpose OF
~electrocuting condemned murderers, and
it would undoubtedly have killed the
man had it not been for one fortunate
circumstance. He was standing on Il
step ladder, and the shock was sufficient
to knock his legs out from under him and
the weight Of his body was sufficient
to relieve him from contact with the
wires, so that no dropped to tho floors
breaking the circuit. He was insensible
for some time, but being n etrong
healthy man and the current passing
through him only for Il moment, he
finally came to and WAS removed to the
Columbus hospital, whore no is getting
along all right, and barring Il pair OF
burned hands. will probably not be much
injured. Had he stood on tho floor OF
some solid place when he seized tho two
wires, no would probably not have beer
able to release himself and would have
been electrocuted IA efficiently us il hi
WAS in the prisoners char at Auburn
state prison.

FOUND THE HAHY's NODN.

city Detective Germ Finds the l,cna,ns
of an Infant on the West Side.
Last FRIDAY Detective Germ found
the P~olantier who claimed to have dis
covered the partially buried body Of an
infant O the Yves. side, and in his com
pany went to tho spot and found tho
story correct. Tho body was inclosed in
Il rudely mau box and had been dressed
in IL little robe, embroidered with some
care. 1t was deposited in II %ravine, about
two miles from tho fair grounds, and had
evidently been buried there and covered
over with earth, but tho grave was so
shallow that tho wind had removed some
Of tho loose earth, leaving tho box
partially exposed, 80 that it was seen by
tho hunter, who made an investigation
and found it contained tho body
Of an infant. The remains were "A
good deal decomposed, showing that it
had been buried there some time ago.
The box was brought into tho city and
taken to Powers undertaking rooms,
where they now remain. DR.. Ladd, who
viewed them, said they were the remains
Of IN infant which might have beer any
whore from Il few weeks to Il fow months
old. No Glow il possessed ut present by
tho police as to how they came to DO
buried ut that lonely spot. 1t i'll thought
that it might have been placed there by
some poor people who desired to escape
tho expense Of il funeral, OF it may nave
boon buried secretly by some guilty
female to avoid shame. The fact that
the grave was only cxcavatod about Il
foot would Indicate that it had been
buried hastily and perhaps without the
proper tools.

Chicken Lice on Horses.

An inquirer writes to Tho Rural New
Yorker as follows: Through some
cause or other chicken mites have got
into the barn and attacked a black mare
that is a great pet of ours. We have
dono all we can think of to eradicate
tho mites, such as scalding tho barn
with boiling hot soapsuds, with an adj
dition of wood ashes, thus making a
strong lyc, and carbolic acid diluted in
water. | have had the mare washed in
lukewarm water and carbOliC soap at
least three times a week when tho
weather has been warm, but after all
the work done to either barn on marc
the mites seem to have the upper hand.
Can you tell me what to do with the
barn and not burn it to the ground, for
| believe that that would be the only
way to get rid of these minute pests?'
Answer. Several who have had IA sim
liar experience say that Persian insect
powder or buhach, sometimes sold in
impure form as an insect or fly powder,
is the best substance to use ON hairy
animals which become infested with
chicken lice OF mites. Get a cheap dust
blower, such as is usually sold with fly
powder, and blow the buhach into the
hair all over tho body. Would it not
be more effective to use buhach water as
a wash?-Ed. Do this thoroughly and
then cover the animal with "a blanket.
If a thorough application of this powder
(get it as fresh as possible of "a reliable
dealer does not rid the mare Of tho
mites, | would be at a loss to know
what to advise next, as the correspond
ent has tried several good washes. The
easiest and surcst way to kill the mites
in the barn is to spray with Il knapsack
or other handy sprayor thoroughly every
inch Of surface, every crack and angle,
with kerosene oil, used undilutcd or
made into an emulsion with soap, form
ing the we'll known kerosene emulsion.
Dilute the emulsion oil only four on
five times. . would use the nndilntcd
oil, rs it would take but littlo anyway
and would save the trouble Of preparing
the emulsion. M. V. Slinyeriand.

a story of GOV. Curtin.

One Of the best anecdotes Of tho late
Gov. Curtin relates to IL sensation no
created IN Il Washington theatcr in tho
winter OF 1884 8, when he was serving
ing in the house. lilo wat very anxious
to 500 Henry Irving, who was then act
ing in that city, and he told his wife and
daughter, Mrs. Wilson, to go to the
theater, where he would meet them after
congress- adjourned for tho day. "You
need not engage Il seat for mo-" he said
AZ they parted, as something may arise
that might prevent my coming until tho
very last moment. | can procure u scat
easily enough if | do como"
The house, however, stayed in session
on tho river and hurbor bill until quite
late, and when the governor reached the
theater there was standing room only,
and very little Of that. He wedged him
Golf along ono OF tho sido %nisles, and un-
Intentionally stopped in front Of some
mon who were perchod upon II window
sill. One Of them touched Mr.. Curtin
rather roughly on the shoulder and com
manded him to move aside. Gov. Curtin
looked about in surprise but before Lo
could explain IL big, double listed fellow
Of hcrculean proportions who was stand
ing close by pointed hie enormous index
finger up to the three window sill ornu-
mcnta and lhundcrnd out in Btentoriun
tones: 'Say, do you know who you arc
showing: lIut'A OK Governor Curtin,
our old war GOVERNOR
Then turning to Mr.. Curtin he shouted
as his face grew purple with Indignation;
"Govcrnor, Pm ono Of the boys; | served
under you and nobody shut shove on
around where | am, Get down Off that
window sill, you HcoundrnlH!' he yelled;
got down quick Shall | knock EN-
down, governor Shall | knock ON
down. And .e Jumped around like an
Indian in his excitement.
by this time the men had Slid Off the
sill and the doprkrepcre had arrived.
"GIt the old governor II good seat said
the veteran, aH he pulled out II large roll
Of g%rcenbncke. "Git him the best scat
IN the house. he continued in a voice
that eiIenced Mr., lrvlng'H on the stage.
There was II private box not yet occu
pied, and the manager Of the theatcr
was glad to rush Mr.. Curtin into it and
end Il acene that was not on tho pro
gram. "Dnc Of the boys" AS be called
himself, then stationed himself in the
middle aisle, and for the rest OF the
evening gazed i~ntently into the private
box at the old war governor, who, dur
ing the melee, was unable TO avoid tho
attention he was receiving. II created
more amusement and applause than any
scene in the play. Mr.. Curtin made fu-
tile efforts to ascertain the name Of his
gallant protector. Philadelphia Times
