Farm
Lands

We received letter a day or two
ago from Kearney, Neh, concluding
as follows: ave have got TO get out
of here. We have just been dried
out and are going to try and get
enough together to make a start in
some new country. There are q great
many here who will look elsewhere
before another season."
Not only are there thousands of
farmers in the prairie states who are
giving up the unequal struggle against
adverse conditions and who have de-
termined to seek new locations, but
the recent troublesome times have
stimulated many engaged in other
occupations to long for the indcpend-
ence of a farmers life.
Nowhere on the globe does Mother
Earth respond more generously to
the husbandman's attention than in
Western Washington, and crops are
as certain as the coming of the
seasons
Drouths are unknown.
We can supply any want in farm
lands, and wish particularly to call
attention to the following:

Although Nobody Loves Him, Lord Har-
 court Has Been Successful In Politics.
 If Henry Labouchere, the famous editor and M. P, makes tho point he is fighting for Sir William Vernon Harcourt, Lib eral leader in tho British house of com mons, may soon be putting himself in the way of being abolished, for Sir William is meditating retirement from the commons so that he may be elevated to the house of lords, tho august body of inherited English rulers I4abouchere is endeavoring to wipe out.
 Sir William is 67 years of age and was the second son of Rev, William V. liar court of Nuneham, Oxfordshire. Ho was educated at Trinity college, Cambridge, became lawyer and won considerable reputation as. writer on international legal questions under tho nom de plume of "Historicus. He was made a queens counsel in 1866, was elected to parliament for Oxford two years later and tho follow ing year was appointed professor of inter- national law at Cambridge. He was an ardent Liberal and was Gladstone's solic- itor general in 1873. The same year he was knighted. Three years later he was made home secretary, and Lord Rosebery, the present. English premier, was his un- der secretary
 Up to 1885 Harcourt opposed home rule bitterly, but that year he became con- vert to Gladstone's new policy and was ap- pointed chancellor of the exchequer. For many years Sir William has been consid-

LOVE, SWEET LOVE.

The silver moons soft radiance white Sparkles and glstens among the trees; Dancing leaves In the shimmering light Arc murmuring gently in the breeze, Saying over and over again:
 Iris love that gladdens.
 'Tis love that saddens And fills the heart with joy or pain. Meath swaying branches in the shifting High; Stands maiden fair. with eyes of blue; By the trysting tree, with glances bright, She awaits the coming of her love so true, While her heart repeats the same old straini
 Iris love that gladdens,
 'Tis love that saddens And fills the heart with joy or pain. He comes. and now her lovers kiss Deepens the glow of lovelit eyes, While pulses thrill in happy bliss; With tender gaze he softly sighs And whispers o'er the old refrain:
 'Tis love that gladdens,
 'Tis love that saddens And fills the heart with joy or pain. Lilly Kenney in New Orleans Picayune.

A Real "Botanical Rarity"

In Professor Englemann's S late work, en-
 titled Botanical Rarties, D find the fol- lowing account of a wonderful East India vegetable curio which the English resi- dents of Madras have given the common name of "electrical plant" ITO attempt to pluck leaf from this marvellous plant is to invite an electric shock equal to that produced by an induction coil, and if q compass be held within six meters of the lightning charged oddity the needle will act as strangely as if 1t had been brought in direct contact with tho magnetic pole it. self. But it's electrical qualities do not astonish tho student of nature to as great a degree as do the wonderful intermis- sions and variations of its peculiar powers. These arc most manifest at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, gradually diminishing un- til midnight, or between midnight and 3 o'clock a. m., when it's magnetic proper ties are hardly noticeable. Day after day these wonderful changes take place, the plant gradually losing its magnetism as the evening approaches and increasing rapidly as the darkness becomes more in- tense only to have the mystic current shot through it's fiber with seemingly increased vigor as tho sun mounts tho tropical skies. A thunderstorm augments it's qualities hundredfold and, oven though sheltered, it drops it's leaves and branches as though shiyering with q death stroke. Birds and beasts as well as the natives shun the dreadful thing as do the Javanese the dead ly upas tree. One would naturally sup {. pose that this wonder of electric vegetation would be found growing in region abounding in magnetic metals. The con- trary is the case "---St. Louis Republic.

STILL DEEPER
Into the Mire of Litigation Are
 Plunged Debs and His Lienten- ants = All Out on Bond.

CHICAGO, July 25.-Debs, Howard, Keli- her aud Rogers of the American Railway union are at liberty, under bail, pending the hearing of the various cases against them. They this afternoon were required 10 give S7C00 bonds, covering five new in- diclments, in addition to the contempt eases brought by the government and the Santa Fe railroad. The bearing of the con tempt cases was continued until September 5, and it is the purpose of the defendants' attorneys to force a hearing on the indict- ments before the contempt cases are again called.
 At this mornings session of the United States circuit court the judge entered a formal ruling denying the defendant's mo- tion to quash. He held the railroad union guilty of committing unlawful acts in in- terferring with interstate commerce, and he proposes to find out what connection the defendants had with it..
 The case was postponed on account of the illness of the government's si counsel, Edward Walker. The attorney for the Santa Fe railroad attempted to force hearing of his complaint, but the judge thought he ought not to be forced into taking two doses of the same medicine, and put off both cases together.
 While court adjourned at Il o'clock this morning, it was this afternoon before the bonds were furnished.
 lilldu EllDSeIdlu duQ " lilidu Ohdh6i. who were already on the bonds of the de- fendants for S25o0. signed the additional twenty eight bonds, and the aggregate amount of their guarantee is S9500 on each of the four men, or s38, ,000.
 On account of the large number of bonds to be furnished Judge Grosscup this morn ing reduced the bonds in the contempt case to S1000 in each case.
 The defendants all declare themselves ready for work tomorrow morning.

He is desirous of going to his home in Indiana for q short stay, and will probably leave to say what he intends to do until he can look around and get his bearings after be- ing locked up for week.

 oCRATIC DOCTRINE.

TWO ABLE SPEAKERS ExPoUND TRUE DEM
 ooRATIC DOCTRINE.
 The political speaking at Avondale last night was attended by about s275 persons and the audience was an exceptionally in- telligent one.
 Capt. John M. Marlin opened with an excellent speech that won considerable ap- plause.
 He was followed by Col. B. L. Hubbard, i, who presented to the people the claims of the democratic party, based upon it's past record of twenty years and what it had done for the state in every conceiva ble way. And that the issue of today was simply question of good government or a surrender of what the people of Alabama have labored for for the past twenty years.
 What record the democratic party for this time had made was what it offered to the people, while all the other side had to offer was Reuben as governor and nothing else. Colonel Hubbard also spoke upon the importance of the election of the local dem- ocratic ticket for represen tatives. This meant the sending of Morgan back to the senate and the construction of the Nicaurauga canal, the construction of this connection of the Att lantic and Pac fic meaning untold benefit to the industries or Birmingham. The completion of this great waterway will make Birmingham what it ought 10 be by giving her industries it's benefit,
 Colonel Hubbard will speak tonight st the court house.

 Ingratitude is a privilege of kings, but even such plebeian creatures as hogs arc liable to fits of responsiveness, which in many cases can not be explained by the recollection of harsh treatment, writes Dr. Felix L. Oswala in the St. Louis Globe. Democrat Only few weeks ago Indiana papers gave an account of an old farmer who was killed by a Berkshire boar that had enjoyed the privileges of a family pet and had been permitted to roam at will
