A nint From the pulplt.

When the Sacrappa minister arrived at
Scarboro he was met by a deacon, who
said to him: "Mr. Jones, do hope today
that in your prayer you will make an es-
pecial effort for rain. Our crops are be-
ing destroyed and I can see nothing but
desolation here" So when the minister
was making his petition he said:
"Oh, Lord. pray Thee that Thou
wouldst send copious rains upon the soil
of Scarboro, and 1t may bring forth q
bountiful harvest, and that the people will
be made glad; and. oh. Lord, they will
bless You for it, desire. oh, Lord. te
state that make this petition In the name
of the good people OF Scarboro. for, oh
Lord, I know that Thou. in Thy Divine
wisdom, will say that II Is not rain thai
| the soil Of scarboro needs; 1t is more top
dressing. Boston Budget.

father, said that he asked the preacher
to marry his daughter and that Rev.
Cocker had pleaded for a secret mar

FALL CARE OF BARNARD FOWLS
Important That They Be Given Abund'

Important That They Be Given Abund.
ance of Feather. Making Food.
With hens and all domestic fowls the
seasons are apt to be well marked, the
Western Rural says. Fall is prepar-
alton for winter. In September they
generally lay aside the old feathers ana
begin in good earnest to put on new
robe for winter. 1t Is time requiring
Special care. Keep the fowls from ex-
posture to cold storms, feed them regu-
larly and with nourishing food. 1t
takes better food for forming feathers
than for eggs. Some one has estimated
that to cover the whole body with a
new coat of feathers is equal to gain
Ing from five to 10 pounds of weight
It will be easily understood why laying
is suspended during the period OF
moulting. All the strength must go tc
growing the new crop of feathers. II
The bird is healthy and well-fed and
The covering for winter is thus pre-
pared, not only has the work of the
reason been done at its proper time
but the fowl is fitted for laying later IL
the autumn and winter and will q
safely through the cold season. 1t Il
said that oats are better than corn al
feather making food. Lean beef Il
also recommended.
Alfalfa cut fine and steamed, thel
mixed with finely ground wheat will
make an excellent chicken feed.

WAS eRUEL CRIME
Particulars Of the Murder of Les
ter Howser in Chilli.
A LETTER FROM HIS FRIEND
Herbert L. Webb. a Civil Engineer, Who
Accompanied Mr.. Howser
From Spokane.

Herbert e. Webb, a civil engineer
who went from Spokane to Chilli with
the late Lester Howser. writes as fol-
lows to The Spokesman-Review from
Andacollo. Chill. under date of July rs:
THE inclosed account of the assass-
ination OF Mr.. Howser / clipped from
daily paper called the Mercurio, pub
lished in Valparaiso. Mr.. Howser and
left Spokane together last August
for Chill; / feel 1t my duty to write
and let his friends know full particu-
lars. would have written at the time
Of his death, but have been up into the
interior of the country on railway To-
cation, and only learned of the sad
affair on my return.
THE account in question Is headed
"A Most Horrible Crime" and Is as
follows:
I'm full daylight, between IL and /
of the afternoon OF Saturday last, was
perpetrated a most horrible crime in
the Quilpue road at the Los Palmas
farm, the victim being the engineer,
Mr.. Lester Dubois Howser, director of
works at the gold mines of the said
| farm.
THE victim was going to the mines
and had not run league from the sta
| ton when, on passing a dangerous
| by-path, he received in the face shot
| from a loaded gun fired by several
| bandits hidden in a bush. One shot
| was sufficient for Mr.. Howser to fall
| from his saddle mortally wounded. The
bandits were hiding for the purpose OF
robbing him. for, as 1t was Saturday
they expected that Mr.. Howser carried
money to pay the workmen, and i'm
mediately made for his corpse and
stripped it of all valuables. The horse
hearing the noise made away at full
| gallop and did not stop until he arrived
at the farm. At the sight of its arriva
| 1t was presumed an accident had takeI
place and some servants went in search
of Mr.. Howser, whose corpse they found
in the condition which we have men
toned. Without loss of time they sen
| to Quilpue.
| Mr.. Howser was young man of 3
years of age and belonged to a mos
| distinguished New York family. Hi
death has been profoundly lamented
not only because Of its tragicness, 70
he was an engineer of very high orde
and especially versed in gold work. ]
Is to be hoped that in the presence @
this cowardly assassination, cut off i
his prime and existence, full of hop
not only for his own people, but ais
for our own country (for Mr.. Howse
was at the time he met his death a
active pioneer of mining progress)-
we repeat 1t to be sincerely hoped, 1
view of such a horrible crime, som
movement may be made to establis
police in this district where one ma
not run the chance of falling into ban
| dts hands"

A Terrible Arraignment.

However modest, convenient and ap-
propriate boomers may be for the bust
ness of cycling, they are hideous night
mares to every person with an artistic
eve. The woman has yet to be born to
whom they are becoming, and in nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases Of every
thousand they exaggerate the personal
defects and conceal the good points of her
who dons them. The lean, angular girl
looks more like a bean pole than ever;
the short, dumpy girl is pudgy beyond
description; while the big, fat girl resem-
bles nothing SO much as links of bologna
sausages, and the tall, slim girl who
wears spectacles and one of the little caps
SO much affected by bicyclers, is 8 sight
to fright the gods.-Grand Rapids Press.

1T tE hard Tor any ono 70 11I
congress will or Will not ID. = ~ 4 Z
ator John L. Wilson to d I10c
Ledger reporter. MY judgmsnt n hat
we should pass bill which win give
the government sufficient revenue to
run 1t. and congress has no right to
inquire whether the president viii or
will not vetosit. Place q just measure
before the president and let him ex-
ercise his constitutional prerogative.
II am of the opinion that we should
restore the tariff upon wool, upon lum-
Der and upon coal Nothing has been
accomplished by reducing the tariff up
on coal, the government has lost its
revenue and the people have not re-
ceived any beneficial effect. My judg-
ment also is that all appropriations
will have to be scaled down and we will
be compelled to run the government
very economically. All other business
and employments have suffered re-
duction save those of governmental at
fairs, and therefore take 1t that the
first duty Of republicans Is to appro-
pirate only enough money to run the
government economically and to pro-
vide the money to meet the govern
ment's obligations in this respect.
81 have been in hopes that the condi-
lions might warrant and that we could
take UP some measure that would be
beneficial to American commerce. /
would like to see and I think 1t would
be of especial advantage to all OF this
country, line of steamers bearing the
American flag plying between the tide
water of Puget sound and all OF the
harbors to Valparaiso and also to China
and Japan. Some years ago when the
appropriation for postal affairs was
limited in its character we gave In
round numbers $1,500,000 for carrying
the mails to Latin America. In 1892
we paid little over $4,000 for carry
| ing the United States malls to all the
| foreign ports Of this hemisphere, or but
| little more than we now pay for ex-
| pediting the mails from Weldon, N. c.,
to Florence, 8. G. In other words we
do everything and have been doing
everything to encourage internal COM
merce and nothing to encourage COM
1 merce upon the ocean, and yet we won.
| der that foreign commerce does not
improve. We pay annually $500 .00l
to foreign ship owners for carrying
products of this country.
81 recall reading some years ago
when we endeavored to establish 1
steamship route to Brazil, our govern
ment offered beggarly $1,000. and 4
it had not been for the generosity o
Dom Pedro, who gave 100000. 1t i
among the possibilities that the Bra
lillian steamship line would not hav
been established. There is a grea
trade in Latin America that would b
to the advantage of our people to sc
cure. In Is years we have paid ther
about SO, 900, 100000 and have received
return about 30 per cent of their trad,
The other 10 per cent went In other d
rections."
How long will congress be in sci
sion"
This is the long session of congress
and no one can tell when they wi
adjourn. In talking with ex-Speake
Reed just prior to the adjournment Z
the Fifty-third congress he thought "
ought to have a short session. n
ought to be speaker and IL his dutie
: are carried out we will adjourn pei
haps about the 18th of June"

BRAVE DEFENCE OF AN EDITOR
He Did Not Say the Band Discouraged
Sweet Music. but Simply Music.

The Kettle Falls Pioneer bravely re-
sents the imputation by the Colville
Index that the Standard said that Glib
Ide took the Colville orchestra to Ket-
tie Falls to discourage" sweet music
at the fair I'VE would like" the Pho
neer says, ito call the Index's attention
to the fact that the Colville orchestra
did not discourage sweet music at the
fair, neither did the Standard say SO.
The Standard said Colville's cornet
band would discourage music at the
fair. Gouge the beam out of your own
eye, Brother Graves. before you pluck
the mote out of the eye of the Stand
ard editor. This is only one typo
graphical error out of many"
