Callaghan Meeting Captured.


GA meeting of all interested in
Prospect Hill and vicinity" was
called for Saturday night at the
old school house next to Wood
yards store, by the few Callaghan
men living in that suburb. The
scheme, though sly one, OF en-
dorsing the Callaghan aldermen
and ticket didn't "pan out" When
the meeting was called to order it
was found that the Elmendorf men
were in majority OF about three
to one, and Joe Ryan was elected
chairman on division Of the house,
over Lawyer Merriweather (Calla-
CHAM, and Alderman Hice was
elected secretary. After listening
to red-hot Elmendorfspee from
Judge Minor, the meeting, on mo-
ton of Alderman Hice, promptly
adjourned, with three cheers and
tiger for the Elmendorf ticket.
Then thirteen Callaghan men re-
turned to the hall, and organized a
Callaghan club.

AN OUTRAGE ON DECENcY.
Indicted Individuals Asked to be
Appointed as Election Judges.

AppOluteu us LleCtlOu OuuSes'
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 4, '95.
To the Honorable Mayor and Aldermen
OF the City Of San Antonio:
GENTLEMEN: In mercy and
charity we ask, through the public
press, not to listen to a petition,
now in the city clerks office,
wherein Jose Cassiano, Thad Smith,
Nat Lewis, Ed. Froboese, G. B.
Mullaly, L. P. Peck and A. P.
Rivas ask for the appointment Of
election managers to represent the
Callaghan-Clifford ticket, because
among those for whom the ap-
pointments are asked are the names
OF the very men whom the grand
juries have indicted in connection
with election frauds. Surely, when
Mr.. Callaghan and his-almost
shipwrecked - ticket learn how
above petitioners are trying to take
every honest and decent vote from
them, they will join in this request,
that the City Council should not
allow as election managers the
very men who are costing the
county so much expense in grand
jury Investigations in the laudable,
but hard task to purify the cleo
ton methods. MANY CITIZENS.

ALTGELD EXPLAINS WHY.
Says He is not Removing Treasurers
of State Institutions, but Com
pels Them to Pay Interest

pels Them to Pay Interest
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. 4.-Gov.
Altgeld today gave out the follow
ing interview regarding sensation
al stories of the removal of the
Treasurer of Lincoln and Anna
asylum, it being claimed they were
removed because they would not
loan him money. No treasurer,
said he, "has been removed nor Is
there a word of truth in all this
talk, and IL you will think a mo-
ment, you will see the absurdity
Of it," II l wanted to use public
funds would not have ordered all
OF the surplus in the possession of
the various institutions turned in
to the late treasury. These were
in the hands OF men whose appoint
ment could control and all Of them
are friendly. 81 did borrow $500,
not Of Foley, but of the Lincoln
National bank, in which Foley has
only $4,000 Of stock, the bank be-
ing practically owned and con-
trolled by man who is a very
strong Republican. The loan was
for only forty days and was on
first class security. Some days be-
fore the note matured my man
asked the bank whether it would
be convenient to extend half of
note a short time, but stated if not
convenient he would pay it all.
The bank replied that it would not
be convenient and he paid the note
and interest. The bank was under
no obligation to me and l expected
no favor of it. The trouble all
grows out OF the fact that, for the
first time in the history Of state, l
am compelling treasurers to pay
interest.

was done at posts heretofore by de-
tails from organizations will now
be done by the prisoners, who will
be confined at each guard-house.

prison as such at Fort Leaven-

ED. MOTT GETS SQUEEZED.
Held Up Inside of His Door and
Robbed of Watch and Money.

HONEYDALE, Pa, Feb. ed.
Mott, whose stories of Pike county
origin are famous, writes to a friend
here that he was thrown down and
robbed in New York recently. He
says: 81 got off the elevated at
Twenty-eight street and started
homeward. / heard someone be-
hind me but thought nothing Of it..
| reached the house, went up the
steps, and had just stepped inside
the door when | felt an arm thrown
quickly around my neck from be-
hind and / was thrown down. At
once | knew ! was being garroted.
l felt man press his knee on my
chest as he chOked me, and then |
knew no more until | came to
in the room of Mrs. Will
liams, our landlady. 1t seems
that she had had company and
they had been gone but a short
time. Her room is on the ground
floor and she heard the struggle
in the vestibule. She ran out,
turned up the gas in the hall and
opened the door. She says two
men stood over me, busy with their
robbery but they ran when she
opened the door. She dragged me
in, called for help and ten or fif-
teen minutes after brought me to.
The robbers had taken my watch
and about $40 in money and were
undoubtedly engaged in stripping
me Of my overcoat and clothing
when Mrs. Williams appeared.N

Executive avenue, which separates
the treasury from the White House

stepping horse drawing a cutter
containing two people dashed
across the street Immediately in

badly frightened, for he barely es-
capped being run over. He fell
back toward the curbing with a
start that shook his hat from his
head and it was several seconds
before he recovered sufficient COM
posture to remark that he had a
very close call. A treasury police

rapidly disappearing sleighing

0 Grating IncubatOrs.

Each Matching ought to be placed in
the machine at one time and no eggs
added thereafter, according to writer
in American Agriculturist, who gives
these general rules: Practice with the
machine until you can run it steadily
day and night without any change of
temperature of the egg chamber.
You should be able to do this in a
week. Then put in the eggs. This will
lower the temperature of the egg cham
Der very much unless the the eggs are
first warmed. prefer warming nicely
before putting in. Very early in the
morning is the best time for starting,
for the thermometer can be looked at at
least once each hour until 10 o. clock the
following night. If it remains steady,
everything is right At the end OF ten
days you may test out the infertile eggs
and put in one pan of lukewarm water
for moisture. At the end Of two weeks
the heat Of the Matching eggs will be
such that you must watch closely lest
the temperature rise too high. Be sure
that it never goes above 1913 degrees. If
there must be variation, 95 degrees IS
far better than 1O5.
If the air in the room is constantly
warm and dry, place second pan of
lukewarm water in the machine at the
end of the second week. If the room is
in a cellar and moisture shows on the
windows, one pan of water under the
eggs is quite sufficient. When the eggs
begin to hatch, don't open the door for
love nor money. Have the thermometer
fastened so the chicks cannot knock it
over and see that the temperature does
not rise above 1913. Don't remove the
chicks from the chamber until they have
been patched at least 20 hours; then
quickly place them in brooder heated
to 100. When you buy an incubator, see
that the egg tray fits the chamber, so
that newly Matched chicks cannot posi-
bly, fall over it's edges into the moisture
pans below.

Feed More Cabbages.

Many farmers do not realize the neces-
sity of the fowls having green food in
the winter; the fowls Gf running at large)
help themselves in summer, and moth
ing is thought Of it. When the frosts
have killed the grass and all annual
plants and the snow covers the ground,
biddy Can get nothing, herself, to take
the place of grass aud other green food
she ate SO freely of in summer. Hang
d head Of cabbage in each pen, and see
how rapid y it will be picked to pieces
and eaten. If hung about eighteen
inches above the floor, compelling the
birds to jump for it, all the better; the
exercise is an additional advantage
gained, and exercise quickens the Cir
cuat'on, stimulates digestion, and pro-
notes health.
Green food is to fowls much what
fruit is to the human being, tOning and
correcting the internal organs. Cab
oage is particularly valuable, because it
has large proportion of nitrogen; hence
balances the carbon of the grain ration.
Ii you want fowls to lay in winter,
when eggs pay big profit, feed them
heterogeneous rather than carbOnaceOus
ration; and one of the vegetables richest
in nitrogen is cabbage.--Otsego Farmer

Why Eggs Don't Hatch.

Year after year the same experience
in failing to hatch most of the early
eggs set! Why? Eggs not fertilized can
not hatch. Unnatural conditions pre-
vail in winter and early spring. The
birds get little or no meat, shells, gravel,
and some even lack exercise enough.
Most Of them shiver about daily for
hours with feet wet and feathers more
on less so. Provide everything for the
flock kept for producing sittings; do
everything for their comfort; don't for
get them once and then look for better
results at Matching time. The owner of
a thrifty lot of early pullets that will lay
eggs of gold next fall and winter is the
careful thrifty fellow who today pro-
vides for fertile egg production.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1895-03-13

The fundamental principles to be
borne in mind in arranging the diet of
a hen are that the largest ingredients in
eggs are lime, nitrogen and phosphoric
acid We have thus found from one
chemist Of what the egg is composed,
and we learn from another that green
bones, "when cut up" not ground up,
are the best and cheapest eggmaking
material extant. Green bones are rich
in albumen, phosphate of lime and phos-
phoric acid, which go to make egg and
shell. The result has been revolution
in the economy of egg production in
winter. An immediate result has been
the invention and manufacture Of mills
to ''cut up'' the bones.
Manager Gilbert of the Canadian ex-
pertinent farm says that q good plan
whereby farmer may utilize waste is
to have pot set aside, into which all
the table waste in the shape of meat
scraps, pieces Of bread, vegetables, etc.,
may be thrown. Heat this up in the
morning with boiling water and mix in
bran, shorts, prOvender or whatever is
cheapest until the whole is a crumbly
mess. A small quantity Of black Or red
pepper should be busted in before mix
ing. Let the mixture stand until par
TALLY cooked and feed in a narrow
trough to the layers in the morning. A
light feed of oats at noon and a liberal
ration of wheat, buckwheat or other
grain for the evening meal should bring
plenty of eggs. Each layer should be
sent to roost with a full crop to carry her
over the long night fast. 1t is imperative
that green food in the shape of unmar
ketable vegetables, clover hay or lawn
clippings be supplied. If green bones
are fed, they may be given in lieu of any
of the regular rations, reducing the guam
tity of grain i'll proportion to the guam
tity of bone used.
