Hoy to Clean Marble.

Marble is liable to become discolored. A plaster made of equal parts of the strongest soapSuds and quicklime to the consistency of paste and spread over the discolored parts will often drive them out Tho stuff must be left on for 24 hours and then washed off with soap and water. Ordinary stains on marble can be subjected to an application of finely powdered pumice stone and pow dered chalk. Finely sift these powders and add water until it becomes a paste. and rub it well all over the marble. After it has been left for some time wash the surface thoroughly with soap and water, and the marble will look like new. Iron stains. which occasion ally occur, can be taken out by damping the marks with lemon juice or oil of vitriol, or else with oxalic acid diluted with spirits of wine, and after being left on for some time the spots should be rubbed with old linen.

A CARD FROM D. PRATT. Editor of the DEMOCRAT:

Solid men have discovered that the Citizen man is very fond of blowing his own trumpet He has not yet discovered any one in Naugstuck or Union City that has taken turn with him in praising his ability as public newspaper instructor. so all the blowing has to be done in his own behalf. There was great man who once said that the more A man knows the less he thinks of himself. If we are to judge of the Citizen by this standard we may come 10 a conclusion not very hAttering to his ability. The Citizen says: "Thc ex- treme poor average ability of the weekly press previous to the advent of the Citizen has made the need more pressing than it otherwise would have been for daily paper. The Citizen has done much to re- habilitate the local newspaper in public opinion and respect and a great deal in the cause of good government. The influence ot the Waterbury dailies counts for but little in time of stress" etc. Look out. Waterbury, for this giant of the quill or you will be swept of the board by his master mind. The Citizen takes turn to try to sweep out of his way any one who draws a lance with him. At the formation of the Economic club of Naugatuck he tried to influence the management to ex- clude or prevent a certain man from join ing the club. Take up the rams horn again. The Citizen may be able to wake up the dead to give for him a blast.
 Yours truly.
 D. PRATT.

Mr.. Hull's Defeat.

The fight made in certain portions
OF this county on Hull was as un
reasonable as it was unjust. Mr.
Hull procured the nomination AZ
honorably and fairly as any man ever
procured nomination, and he was
in every respect worthy Of the posi-
ton to which he aspired. The charge
that there was any understanding be.
tween Abilene and Herington Is abb
solutely silly in the face Of the re-
turns. Because few members OF
the Harrington delegation voted fol-
King for register, and for Huffman
for sheriff, is no evidence ola "trade. y
King and Huffman would have had
the same ground for charging a
"trade" had the delegation gone to
Burton and to Frey. There were
four candidates before that conven-
ton for sheriff and four for register
Of deeds. In the very nature OF
things only two out Of the eight
could be successful.

The defeat Of the Republican county tIcke
Is no fault Of Pitt Halleck, the hard workinI
chairman Of the Republican central com
mittee.--[Enterprise Journal
Certainly it was not Halleck's fault
1t was the fault Of such despicabl'
committeeman as the one for Enter
prise who came either personally
or BY proxy to every meeting Of tht
committee and went out to work fol
the election Of a part or all Of the POI
ticket, betraying every plan Of thu
Republican campaign to the opposi
ton. That's what defeated the Re
publican party in Dickinson county
Traitors in camp are always despic
able but in this instance they wert
doubly so and their conduct entitled
them to the excavations Of every Re
publican in Dickinson county-which
by the way, they are getting in gen
erous doses.

&C. STERL e. CO..
Largest Retail Clothers in Abilene
Will Benefit Farmers.

A representative Of the United
States department Of agriculture has
begun a helpful series of experiments
in Saline county which ought to be Of
much help to the farmers Of central
Kansas. He has arranged to plart
over a thousand varieties Of cereals,
mostly wheat, but there will also be
included in this number over a hum
bred varieties Of oats, about twenty
of barley and several Of rye, Mr.
Carlton not only hopes to ascertain
what varieties will best resist the
lust, but he will also cross these va
rieties with others Of high standard
and thus secure a hardy wheat.
Mr.. Carlton experiments exclusively
with cereal diseases, and at present
he is dealing with the rust problem
Last year he conducted an expert
ment station in Maryland and raised
about a thousand varieties Of grains.
There are two kinds Of rust in cereals
the orange leaf rust and the black
stem rust. The former is prevalent
in Maryland, but does not exist here
except in a mild form. The black
stem rust, however, is quite destruc-
tive Of good wheat here some seasons.
In his experiments last year Mr. Carl
ton gained valuable knowledge as to
what varieties Of wheat would best
withstand the ravages Of orange leaf
rust.
The Kansas farmer needs to learn
the agriculture best adapted to this
state and this experiment ought to
help him.

Topeka, Kan, Nov. 10. Fletcher
Meredith, Of Hutchinson, claims, upon
the authority of Judge L. IIouk, OIL
Hutchinson, to have found way tc
have murderers now in the peniten
tiary hanged under the death sentence
without the warrant Of the governor.
The law provides that prisoners under
sentence Of death must remain year
in the penitentiary, after which, upon
the discretion of the governor, they
may be hanged. But following that
section Is another section which in
substance is as follows:
When for any reason the governor fails to
execute the sentence, after y reasonable time,
the county attorney of the county in which the
crime was committed may appear before the
supreme court or the district court OF the
county in which the crime was committed,
and apply for writ OF habeas corpus
directed to the warden OF the peni-
Tertiary to deliver the prisoner to
the sheriff OF the county to be taken before
either the supreme court or the district court
that inquiry may be IN ,de rs t, why the sem
tencc Of the court should not be executed In
case no legal cause SIN be shown why the
sentence should not be exc ,utcd, the Judge may
issue his order to the sheriff and the sheriff
shall execute the sentence.
