The onion market was never so

never before so low. This state of af

MINING OF PHOSPHATES.
Where Deposits Are Found and How
They Are Prepared.

They Are Prepared.
The Florida phosphate deposits are Of
great Importance, yet their existence
was discovered so recently and their
extent is still so uncertain that few per-
sons not engaged i'll the sale of fertiliz-
ing materials have much knowledge of
the large industry which has sprung up
in the Peninsular State. 1t has practical
ly created a new city-Ocala-which
had population of but a few hundred
in 1870, but is now q thriving business
center with modern improvements,
banking facilities and ample railway
and transportation facilities. Engineer
ing, the leading engineering journal of
the world, makes the following state
ments concerning the region, which are
of considerable interest as coming from
an unbiased source: "Ihere is no phOs.

average that is being worked anywhere.
The facilities for moving the products
to points for distribution are good. The
average distance from mines to ports
for shipments is about $50 miles.
"The distributing stations for the hard

the material is simple and inexpensive

other mining operations, and the cost

Troublesome SparrOws.

Samuel Green, Christianna hun
dred farmer, states that the English
sparrows are becoming so numerous
and troublesome that the farmers in
his section of the country are now
compelled to put screens over their
barn windows. The birds have been a
nuisance for some time, and many of
the farmers have lost great deal of
gram by them. The sufferers would
like to see some kind of a bird intro
duced in this part of the country that
would kill the sparrows.

BLAINE ON SILVER.

In a speech on the demonetiza-
ton Of silver in 1878 James G..
Blaine said:
"On the much-veXed and long
mooted question of a bimetallic or a
monometallic standard my viewsare
sufficiently indicated in there marks
| have made. / believe the strug-
gle now going on in this country
and in other countries for single
gold standard would, if successful,
produce wide spread disaster in
and throughout the commercial
world. The destruction of silver
as money and establishing gold as
the sole unit of value must have a
ruinous effect on all forms of prop
erty except those investments
which yield a fixed return in
money. These would be enorm-
ously enhanced in value and would
gain a disproportionate and unfair
advantage over other species of
property. If, as most reliable sta
tistics affirm, there are nearly ST.
900, 100000 of coin or bullion in
the world, not very unequally di
vided between gold and silver, it
is impossible to strike silver out of
existence as money without results
which will prove disadvantageous
to millions and disastrous to tens
of thousands.
II believe gold and silver to be
the money of the constitution; in
Iced the money Of the American
people anterior of the constitution,
which the great organic law recog-
nized as quite Independent Of its
own existence. No power was
conferred on Congress to declare
that either metal should not be
money. Congress has, therefore,
in my judgment, no power to de-
monetize either any more than to
demonetize both. x If, there
fore, silver has been demonetized
l am in favor of remonetizing it.
If its coinage has been prohibited
| am in favor of having it resumed.
If it has been restricted l am in fa-
vor Of having it enlarged.

A READER of the st. Louis Repub-

for publication:
/ send you what Is known to be
an infallible remedy for hydropho-
bia. 1t has been used in and about
Phlladclphil for so years, and has
been highly recommen led ty many
prominent people of that place.
An eminent physician (now deceas-
ed) said that he had known of its
use for so years and never knew a
case that failed where it was prop
erly used.
The remedy is as follows: To
one and a half ounces of good sound
elecampane root bruised in a mortar,
add one pint Of new milk, boil to
half pint, strain off and when cold,
take a dose in the morning, fasting,
No food should be taken for from
three to five hours afterwards. Re.
peat the dose on the third morning,
allowing one morning to intervene,
and again on the fifth morning.
Three doses are all that is neces-
sary. 1t is not to late to give il
any time before the spasms come
on. The above quantity is for an
adult; for children give in proper
tionate doses, say, to one IL years
old half the quantity. Doses for &
horse or COW should be about foul
times as great as for person.
/ cannot attest to its efficacy my
self, as | never saw it used bu'
once, and then in conjunction with
maidstone. No doubt but it will
be called an old woman's remedy
yet physicians also decry the mad
stone, and they ought not to object
to one doing all one knows to ward
off the horrible sufferirgs death
by hydrophobia brings. They
themselves can do nothing.

THE APACHE KID.

r. II. Pratt, superintendent of
the Indian school at Carlisle, Pa,
writes as follows regarding this
notorious outlaw:
"Apache Kid" never attended
this institution. He attended no
school. / have never been able to
trace the origin of the lie, but it
has been most industriously circu.
lated, and crops out occasionally
even now, notwitEs S andilg there
have been ample contradictions
through the public press.
"'Kid was a grown man, and a
scout for the army in Arizona,
long before the Carlisle school was
established. He never attended
any school.
can illustrated article on this
rascal in Leslie's Weekly, by some
monumental fabricator signing him
self Herbert Haywood, contains the
statement that Kid was educated
at Hampton Institute, Virginia. II
has been repeatedly shown that
Kid was an outlaw before Carlisle
and Hampton undertook the educa-
tion of Indians. The wonder is
that reputable journal of civiliza-
ton like Leslie's Weekly can be
found to publish such an oftrefuted
lie, and from such false basis gives
its influence to discredit the work
Of Indian education"

A sQUAw was intercepted at Will
cox last week who claims to be an
escaped prisoner from the band of
Apaches that was reported out last
May. She claims to have been
captured by the renegades and had
never had an opportunity to escape
until last week. She told her story
to the military authorities. A
troop, under the guidence of the
squaw, was ordered to so to the
camp of the Indians, with instruc
tions to carefully scout for and cap
ture or exterminate the band.
From the description given by

lieve the camp to be south

it is very doubtful if their journey

THE ADMINISTRATION SCORED

AT the conference of free silver
men at Washington, d. c., Mr..
Hill, of Missouri, and a prominent
member of the conference criticised
Mr.. Cleveland's administration in
severe terms, saying the president
had betrayed the Democratic party
by series of acts of perfdy and
treachery which were without par
allel, one Of the principal of which
acts consisted in his ignoring the
bimetallic declaration in the Dem
ocratic platform. He declared
there had been a bargain and sale
by which the people of the United
States had been turned over to the
Jews of Europe and the gamblers
of Wall street, The result of which
would be that their children and
their grandchildren would be hew-
ers Of wood and drawers of water.
The bond transaction had been
enough to consign Grover Cleve-
land and John G.. Carlisle to ever
lasting political oblivion and
share. They would "go down to
the ages hand in hand amid the
execrations of mankind as two of
the most stupendous frauds Of the
centuary." He asked the reporters
present TO make especial notice OF
the last sentence. He denounced
Senators Bryce and German as dis
loyal to the Democratic party.
Ex-Representative Turner, of
New York, was introduced as a
new convert! He said he was a
silver man and meant to remain so
He declared that intelligent effort
in New York would do wonders
and predicted that the nomination
of free silver candidates would not
weaken the ticket in the East.
President Cleveland will find
that he has an aggressive and
powerful army .arrayed against
him and his gold bug policy. The
conference represented the mass of
the Democratic party outside of
the pie-biters. In 1t were great
number of men of national reputa-
ton and great influence. The ex.
ecutive committee appointed is
composed of fighters. They will
set about building up an organiza'
tion for persistent, practical work
at the primaries and elsewhere,
They know the ropes and they
have very definite plan of action
Their platform is one that appeals
to the members Of the Democratic
party, and they will make trouble
for the president and his Office
holding army. The battle will be
between principle and bulldozing
and the gold bugs will at least
know they have been in fight.
Free coinage men who hope fol
the overthrow of plutocracy anC
the salvation of the nation will
earnestly wish God-speed to thu
Democratic champions.
