In Sioux Falls paper on a recent
Sunday appeared an advertisement
"Stenographer wanted" Miss Eva
Humes, of Salem, saw the adj, but
Sioux Falls is 45 miles from Salem,
and there would be no train to that
city until late Monday, and before

Something About Cows.

A writer says that many fail to
understand while yet it is the fact,
that when cows are on good pastur-
age is when they need salt the most.
The better plan is to keep the sup
ply in convenient place where they
can help themselves. One advantage
with rock salt is that it does not
waste to any great extent if left ex-
posed.
The owner of small farm who
keeps only one or two COWS is more
interested, or should be, in having
choice animals than those who own
large focks. One good COW will
serve the purpose of two inferior
ones, and where space is limited ev-
cry additional quart of milk OF
pound of butter is quite an item
with the keeping Of single animal

that correct answer cannot be Civ

Couldn't Fool the Squire.

A slick bunco man tried to work
his game on Squire David Morgan,
of Springhill, Fayette county, las,
week, but failed. He told the Squire
the old story of a California gold
mine whiehhe had discovered through
some Indians, and attempted to get
him interested. The Squire told the
stranger he was too busy with bis
farm work to buy gold mines, but
the stranger insisted on him going
to Uniontown to see some of the gold
and paid him IS for his time Once
there the man found that his game
would not work, and skipped out.

Col. Ben. Wilson's Accident.

Col Ben. Wilson, of Clarkshurg
who had been stumping in The south
ern part of the state. met with an
accident Friday evening. He was
walking down stairway leading to
the depot at a small place near Coal
Valley, when he slipped and fell to
the bottom, distance of some thir-
ty feet. He was badly bruised and
skinned about the face and body.
but no bones were broken. At last
accounts he was resting easily at the
Rnhner house in Charleston. The
Colonel is 70 years Of age, and it is
fortunate indeed that his injured
were not more severe.

Senators Sherman, Allison and
many other of the foremost Republi-
cans now living are all on record
against purely protective duties.
The pages of the Congressional Rec
ord bristle with their denuncia ton
of discriminating protective duties.
In fact, Senator Sherman in the
recent campaign confessed to
views on the tariff infinitely nearer
to the line of Mr.. Wilson than the
line of Mr.. Dayton. Even Mr.. Reed
felt impelled to intimate a weak
ening on the tariff. What YIELDS the
Republican party to protection is
the precious metal poured into its
Golfers by the beneficiaries of its leg
islation. But for this the party
would split wide open on the fallacy
which is it's only stock in trade

Go any place in the country where
much labor is employed and you will
find foreigners there. Then protec.
tion is not for the American laborer
if that is true. 1t is the poor man
that protection does not protect. 1t
protects Elkins, but it does not do
the same for his workmen.

According to the Republicans, free
wool was to ruin the American sheep
raiser and the rest of the tariff bill
to shut up American factories and
reduce wages all along the line. How
good Republican authority is on
such subjects may be judged by ex
listing facts. The American sheep
raiser, owing to the increasing de-
mand, is getting more for his wool
than for some years, factories which
have been idle are starting up in all
directions and manufacturers are
voluntarily raising wages. Let the
doubling voter ponder these things
