WHILE we are waiting for congress to
decide the fate of the beet sugar industry
in this country. says the Dakota Farmer,
and for capitalists to erect the expensive
plants for manufacturing sugar, many
communities in the Dakotas may well
spend some time in investigating the
starch business. A starch factory is not
an expensive affair, and can be quickly
built and easily operated. We will raise
enough potatoes this year beyond home
demands to manufacture large quantities
of starch. Freight rates on bushel Of
potatoes are lower in the form of manu-
factured starch than on the raw article.

Wedding Bells.

Last Sunday there was happy gath.
ering at the residence of States Attorney
and Mrs. Lynn, down on Beaver Greek,
the occasion being the marriage Of Mrs.
Lynn's sister. Miss Emma Bartu, to Mr..
M. W. Martin. of Billings. Montana.
The splice work was done by that expert
splicer, Justice Flick, and was accom-
plished with neatness and dispatch.
Miss Maud Shields was the bridesmaid,
and Henry Bartu was best man, and gave
his sister away in very graceful man
ner. The ceremony was performed at
noon, and about an hour thereafter the
company sat down to substantial and

passed pleasantly, and when the guests
left it was with many wishes for 4he hap

the evils of vicious legislation is nearly
strained to the utmost tension.

The Oregon election occurred Tuesday
last, and was the most exciting election
in the history of the state. Lord (rep.)
for governor is undoubtedly elected by a
large plurality. The entire republican
state ticket is possibly elected with the
probable exception of Irwin for superin-
tendent of schools. The legislature will
be very close and the populists may hold
the balance of power in the senate.
though the republicans claim they have q
majority in both houses. Hermann (rep. }
is elected to congress from the first dis
trict, and Ellis (rep.) leads in the second.

Gathering Coral and Sponges

Gathering Coral and Sponges.-
Gathering of coral and sponges is an
important industry on the Florida
reefs. Both are frequently found in
the same locality. The sponges are
found wherever the bottom is rocky,
generally from ten to thirty feet be-
meath the surface. Two or three dozen
schooners are now engaged in the
work of gathering the sponges, each
schooner carrying two small boats
manned by a crew of two. When the
reef is reached the small boats put off,
and while one sculls the other keeps
an eye out for sponges. A simple con.
trivance enables the watchmen to see
sponges on the reef twenty feet OF
more under the water. On the side OF
the small boat a long barrel sort oi
arrangement is built, the lower end OF
which is un der water and closed up by
q glass head. BY placing his head in
this barrel the waichman can see
through the clear water to the bottom
of the sea with remarkable distinct.
ness. When good sponge is detected
it is broughtu with an iron hook on
a long pole.

Marriage Maxims.

A good wife is the greatest earthly
blessing.
Make marriage a matter of moral
Judgment.
Marry in you own religion.
Marry into a different blood and
temperament than your own.
Never talk atone another, either alone
or in company.
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud to cne another, un-
less the house is on fire.
Let each one strive to yield oftenest
to the wishes of the other.
Let self-abnegation be the daily aim
and effort of each.
The very nearest approach to domes-
tic felicity on earth is in the mutual
cultivation of an absolute unselfish-
ness.
Never find fault unless it is perfect
ly certain that fault has been COM
mitted, and then prelude it with kiss
and lovingly.
Neglect the whole world besides,
rather than one: another.
Never allow a request to be repeated.
II forgot is never an acceptable ex-
cuse.
Never make remark at the expense
of the other; it is meanness.
Never part for day without loving
words to think of during absence be-
sides, it may be that you will not meet
again in life.-The Baptist.

A Creed in Poetry.

Joseph Cook closed his address on
THE Certainties of Religion" at the
Chicago Parliament, with these words
'I bought book full of the songs OF
aggressive Evangelical Religion, and
| found in this little book words
which may be bitter indeed when
n;sbut which when fully assimhi-
lated will be sweet as. honey. L sum-
marize my whole scheme. of religion
in these words, which you may put on
my tombstone /:
Choose must and soon must choose,
Holiness or heaven lose.
If what heaven loves | hate,
Shut from me is heavens gate.
Endless sin means endless woe,
Into endless sin go,
If my soul from reason rent
TAX es from sin its final bent,
AS the stream its channel grooves,
And within that channel moves;
So does habits deepest tide
Groove Its bed and there abide.
Light obeyed increaseth light;
Light resisted bringeth night.
Who shall give me will to choose,
Ii the love of light lose.
Speed my soul, this instant yield,
Let the light its sceptre WELD.
While thy God prolongs his grace,
Haste thee to his holy face.

When she overworks; when she
does things that you ought to have

Mary Declared n Strike.

There are two sides to the "laborq rques-
ton" of course. But, it must be con-
fessed, that we have only scant sym
pathy for the professional agitator and
the walking delegate. The Detroit Free
Press turns the table on this important
individual in the following manner:
The walking delegate never tires OF
talking of the strike. He held that 1t
was justifiable if ever strike was, and
he was prepared to demonstrate that it
was perfectly proper to strike to secure
any desirable result. He so told ms
wife, and she seemed to agree with
him. She said it seemed to be the
easiest way of enforcing demand.
And at night when he came home
he found that the table was not set.
II want a DRESS" she said, when he
asked what the trouble was.
II know you've been bothering me
for that dress for month";" he said,
''but how abont supper?"
''There isn't any," she replied.
This is q strike"
"a strike?"
Eyes, a general tie-up. I've been
trying to secure peaceful settlement
of this trouble for seme time, but now
I:mean to enforce my rights"
"Mary, do you dare"
"Oh, don't talk to me that way! If
can't get you to arbitrate, why I've
got to strike. I don't care if it does
block the wheels of trade"
"But Mary, you don't understand" D."
"Oh, yes, I do. I've made my de-
mands, and they've been refused. I've
asked for arbitration with view to
compromise, and that has also been re-
fused. A strike is all that is left, and
I've struck"
'GBut your demands are unreason-
able"
II don't think they are."
YOU'RE no judge"
"You're the judge of your own de-
mands when you strike, and Pm just
as good judge as you are when I
want something. It's no use talking.
This strike is on"
She folded her arms in determined
way, and he subsidized. 1t was, per-
haps, half an hour later when he look.

reserve is to be used simply to keep the
strike going. You can't touch the

"Be careful, Mary" he said warning

She laughed and nodded toward the
pantry.

turned.
Five or ten minutes later he pro-
posed that they compromise on the

Sane Ideas of misunderstanding
about insanity and melancholia, Dr.
S. III. Talcott, superintendent of the
Middletown Insane Asylum, said tc
me that the hard times always increas.
ed the ratio of insanity among preva.
lent maladies. Itisa popular notion
that intemperance is a common cause
of mental arrangement, but statistics
prove that only 10 per cent of insane
patients were victims of drink and
that 80 per cent, lost their mental
faculties by overwork and worry. In
Europe one in sixty of the royal heads
become insane, while among the less
fortunately born there is only one in
400 or 500. This is. about the proper
ton among the same class i'm this
country. In Florida there is only one
lunatic in every l, 100, showing that in
a mild climate there is less insanity
than in cold one.

he stole away in the midnight shades
to cry for help from his God. Recol-

On Saturday last, August 4, a
number Of populists of Clayton coun-
ty met at the county court house for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the senatorial and congressional con-
vention, and nominating candidate
for the state legislature. Perfect har.
mony prevailed and the utmost good
feeling existed during the entire

Rev. John F. Jones was unaEi-
mously declared the standard bearer
OF the peoples party of Clayton for
the state Legislature.
Mr.. Jones is a local Methodist
preacher. A man whose integrity
and purity of character is above re-
proach, and whose ability is unques-
toned. The democrats recognize
his strength and the difficulty in de-
feating him. 1t may safely be said
that he will represenC the county in

A PonnIist Nomine.A

Mr.. EDIToR:-I see that the 99o-
ple's party of the 11oh senatorial dis
trict, composed of the counties OF
Terrell, Randolph and Clay, have
nominated as their candidate for the
senate, Hon. 7. j. Perry, of Cuth-
bert. l wish to say regarding this
selection that a better one could not
have been made. Mr.. Perry, whilst
being an extremely modest man, is
nevertheless one of the most capable
men in the state. He Is averse to
running for office, but his splendid
abilities have induced his friends to
elect him twice, having served in
both the house and senate as a dem
ocrat.
The Peoples party are putting
forward some of the ablest men in
the state, and with Hines to lead the
ticket, victory is certain.
The people of the 18th district
need not hesitate to vote for Mr..
Perry-he is man of integrity
has convictions and has the courage
to express them. His legislative
work in the years gone by stands to-
day as a monument to his worth. 1t
was he that put the deaf and dumb
institute in capable and honest hands
and voted to provide for the care of
colored deaf mutes at Cave Springs.
l write, Mr.. Editor, from personal
knowledge. Respectfully,
JEFFERSON.
