the sufferers. Before the vessel
reached her moorings in this port, the
vermin had completely disappeared,
having taken refuge from the cold in
the crevices and seams of the ship.
Never was a change OF climate more
welcome to sailors than when the
crew OF the America left behind them
the vermin breeding heat of the
tropics.
Captain Ferrari is in his 72nd year,
and for half century he has been
master mariner He has been in COM
mand of the bark America ever siuce
she was launched at Castellamare,
Italy, in 1877, and the present crew
has sailed with him for 16 years.
Captain Ferrari declares that if he
ever sails with another cargo Of fresh
bones, he will turn a few South Amer
lean anteaters loose in the hold.

Drifting about on a tropical sea,
under boiling sun, in vessel laden
with cargo of half.cleaned bones, is
an experience not to be envied, and
the crew OF the Italian bark America,
which arrived in Philadelphia the
other day, will probably prefer a
cooler climate and a cleaner cargo for
their next cruise. Seventy days ago
the America left Buenos Ayres, the
only freight then available being the
bones of the cattle killed at the great
slaughter houses of the beef extract
manufacturers in the Argentine Re-
public. Cattle are cheap down there,
and the butchers are not overcarefui
in removing the meat from the bones.
Consequently the bones which filled
the hold of the America when she left
the River Platt were half covered with
scraps of meat not yet in a condition
of decay. There was meat enough be-
meath the matches to set a good-sized
beef sausage factory up fn business.
Matters were measurably pleasant
aboard the America until she entered
the tropics on her porthward voyage,
but when the hot sun began to beat
down upon the deck it made bad
mess below. and soon the hold was
swarming with vermin, as even the
much-traveled crew and the venerable
Captain Farrari had never seen before.
Every nook and corner of the ship
above decks and below was infested by
the pests, who made no distinction
between forecastle and the cabin. So
long as there was food for them ON the
bones in the hold the concentrated
their energies there, but when they
had cleaned and polished the bones
the vermin advanced upon the crew
and also attacked the ships stores OF
provisions.
While the wind held fair and each
day shortened the distance to port,
the suffering crew had some relief to
which they could look forward, but
their discomfort became despair when
the wind failed them completely on
the equator, and left them rolling
upon CLASSY sea for full two weeks
without wind enough to break the
column of smoke that rose from the
cooks galley. For a fortnight the
crew fought the vermin with every
means they could devise. Every
poison that the ships medicine ches,
contained was tried, but the only ap
parent effect was an increase in the
numbers, ferocity and activity OF the
pests. Until the wind again filled the
Americas sails and brought her to {
cooler climate, there was no relief fol

The Wheat Crop Will he Immense.
Walla Walla Union

The unanimous verdict OF the farm
ers in the city Saturday was that the
condition of the growing wheat crop
excelled that of any previous year
since the days when man first began
to cultivate the fertile soil of the Walla
Walla valley. Along the foothills both
fall wheat and barley have COM
menced to head out. In the northern
and western part OF the country the
crop is not so far advanced, but is
growing rapidly and gives evidence Of
a heavy yield if our full compliment OF
moisture is granted us during the next
six weeks. Up to date the weather
bureau registers deficiency in the an
nual rainfall of 1.Si inches. Observer
Newman is of the opinion that this
will be made up and an excess reached
before the first of June. The records
show that May is one of our rainiest
months. al never saw wheat look so
we'll before" said A. J. Evans, whose
farm is on Russell creek. My fall
wheat has headed out and I think the
yield will be phenomenal. If the pros
poets for prices were as good as the
prospects for good crop, l would pre-
pare to take trip to Europe" 1.-The
prospects are really good" said Hon.
j. F. Brewer, whose farm is near the
city. al don't think the farmer will
have any complaint to make this year
if the price is at all reasonable" F.
M. Louden reported that everything
looked lovely on the Touchet. Wheat
is in prime condition. stands we'll and
is having vigorous, healthy growth.
We will need some rain, however.
The acreage is about half what it was
last year in my section" J. S. Havil-
and reported the farmers around Pres
colt as looking forward hopefully and
confidently to the future. Ed. Weary
said that the Eureka Flat section,
though little dry, was in excellent
condition. Pat Russell wore his most
cheerful smile, and claimed that it was
inspired by the prospects for good
crops and prices.

SHE MADE A GOOD START.
A STORY Whose Moral Relates to the

STORY Whose Moral Relates to the
Value of an Early Beginning.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Callboard re-
turned from their wedding journey
they settled right down to housekeep-
ing. Happier doves never nestled in
a fiat, and Mrs. Callboard determined
to make home happy for Charley from
the start. No future misunderstand-
ings should arise in their domestic ar
rangements If her wisdom and tact
could prevent. When they sat down
to their first meal Nellie helped him to
an Opaque slab of something, about an
inch thick, that fell ON the table with
a dull, sickening thud.
"There is some home made bread
like your mother used to make,
Charley, DEAR" she said, sweetly. al
learned how to make that solid circle
of roller composition around the mid
die OF the loaf when we were stopping
at her house last week, if you should
ever want change 1 can make bread
whittier than snow and lighter than
sea foam, but this is the kind your
mother makes and 1 thought you
might like it the first day to keep you
from getting homesick. That nice
cake" she added, seeing him thought.
fully endeavoring to indent with his
fork dark brown pyramid of elastic

Ellen used to make. l got the pre-
scription from her. don't eat it my.
self, but it is said to be harmless if not

them and / had coroner's permit to
make these. Those ghostly remains

after the favorite prescription of your
sister Jane. And this, Charley, dear" )"
she continued, pouring out a coal
black liquid, not quite so thick as the
Missouri river, but far more odorous,
"this is coffee like you used to get at
home. make all these things some
what different for myself and will use
my own recipes as a rule after this,
but any time you want things as you
used to have them at home, dear, 1

And he didn't. That WAS twenty

to have heard their father so much as

ilton, sanctioned by Washington and
Jefferson, its wisdom and justice
questioned by none, until the year
1873. In that year, without notice to
the people, the standard silver dollar
was dropped from the coinage of the
country and every debt therein exist
ing, public and private, aggregating
thousands and millions of dollars, was
made payable in gold alone. Men who
have intelligence enough to compre-
hend its significance and still oppose
the undoing of that wrong should be
exceedingly careful how they accuse
other people of dishonesty.
1t was the great money power OF
the world that thus stealthily de-
stroyed the time-honored monetary
system Of our country. Those men
who own and control vast sums of
money, and debts payable in money,
understood that if silver could be de-
stroyed by stopping its coinage and
limiting its legal tender, their claims
thus becoming payable exclusively in
gold or its equivalent, the gold itself
would become more valuable. They
understood perfectly that gold dollar
with silver dollar by its side, sharing
its functions and meeting part OF the
demand, was an entirely different
measure from what the gold dollar
would be standing alone. They knew
that by the memorable law of supply
and demand the value OF gold must
inevitably rise, while the value OF
every other species of property must
just as certainly fall. The business of
the world is done upon money basis.
1t is measured in terms of money"

A well known authority on germ
diseases asserts that the practice Of
purchasing the coffee bean in its green
or uncooked" state and roasting it
upon the kitchen range not only fur
nishes the family with a richer and
more aromatic beverage, but serves to
keep diphtheria, scarlatina and kindred
germ diseases from obtaining lodg-
ment in the dwelling. The pungent
smoke which arises from the roasting
bean, it is claimed, is one of the most
powerful of disinfectants and germ
killers. The doors should be left open,
80 that the vapor may penetrate to
every nook and corner and carpets,
curtains, clothing. etc, may become
thoroughly saturated with the smoke,
which, though acrid, is not offensive.
The scientist referred to-and he is
by no means alone in his opinion
AYERS that the OdOr In ones clothing
is sufficient to prevent the transporta-
ton of microbes, and that its permea-
ton OF the atmosphere of the house
will render innocuous those which
may already have been imported into
the dwelling.
Furthermore, in cases where the
germ disease may have appeared in a
family, the fumes OF tho roasting bean
will more thoroughly disinfect the
building, or, it may be, fiat, than all
the drugs dispensed by the health de-
partment or relied upon by the pro-
fession.

A carload OF eggs was shipped re-
Gently from San Francisco to Chicago.
This is an entirely new idea. In
speaking about this shipment, Chi
cago dealer said: "The price in San
Francisco frequently ranges from so
cents to 60 cents q dozen. Thirteen
months ago we shipped four or five
carloads of eggs to San Francisco and
sold them for 16 IA cents q dozen,
but last winter was warm, and eggs
were cheap in Chicago. The whole
sale price in February was % cents a
dozen. The carload we bought in
San Francisco cost us 16 cents n
dozen. The freight cost us 3 4 cents
a dozen, leaving us nice profit. The
carload contained 10000 dozen.
They are what are called California
ranch eggs. The cold rains on the
coast we're over in February, and the
warm weather caused the hens to lay
rapidly, and eggs were cheaper then
than they have been for many years.

Louisiana, and IN many places was pre-
ceded by rain and sleet, making the condi-
tons more disagreeable. At Perry, o. T.,

low zero, and like condition prevails
everywhere in the Territory.
At Atchison, Wichita and other Kansas
cities streetcar traffic is suspended, and at
most points the trains are late, and gen.

OMAHA, Jan. 25.-An old fashioned storm
of generous proportions is raging over the
entire State of Nebraska, the first real
snowstorm of any consequence in year
Coming as it does, when the State is short
16 inches of moisture since March 1, 1894,
the storm brings Joy to everybody having
the interests of the commonwealth at heart.
Snow has been falling lightly for thirty
six hours, and at midnight shows some
signs of abating. All railroad trains in
the State are being operated as usual and
though the storm has reached the proper
tons of blizzard, little damage can re-
suit.

street and Payne-ayenue cable lines. Lit

SIssoN, Cal, Jan. 25.-The blockade was
raised to-day Two northbound trains
which had been snowbound at Dunsmuir
went north this morning. Trains from the
north are expected through tonight. The
blockade may be repeated tomorrow if the
weather is warm, as considerable snow has
accumulated at the last big slide.
WOODLAND, Jan. 25.-The road is now
open from Sacramento to Tehama via
Woodland. The first train went through
late this afternoon. There was a long de-
lay at the break north of Yolo before tenn
porary track was laid. The southbound
train was about five hours late.
Travel was resumed at least one day
earlier than the railroad officials believed
yesterday would be possible. This was
due to the fact that the force of laborers
employed at the break was largely in
creased last night. 1t is probable that
trains will also be running on the Knights
Landing branch sooner than was antici-
pated twenty-four hours ago. All depends
upon the amount of filling necessary to be
done. Construction trains are at work on
both sides. There is a possibility that a
train may be run through tomorrow even
ing. The water is receding everywhere ex-
cept at Knights Landing. At that place
the river now marks II feet and IL inches.
That is within inches of the high-water
mark of 1881. 1t is rumored that the levee
is broken between Knights Landing and

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 15.-The sleetstorm that
prevailed to-day during the early hours
later turned into snow which fell for sew
eral hours, and this was followed by a
strong southwest wind and fall of fifteen
degrees or more in the temperature, which
played havoc with electric wires of all de-
scriptions throughout the city and sub
urbs. Wires and poles heavily laden with
a thick coating of ice and snow snapped off
and fell to the ground. Within radius of
fifty miles of st. Louis the Western Union
Telegraph Company lost 125 wires. A few
wires to Chicago and Kansas City are still
in workable condition, while communi-
cation is also had with Dallas, Texas.
Matters are improving, however, and it
is expected that enough wires will be re-
paired to enable the accumulated business
to be cleared up by morning. The wires
of the Postal Company are in an equally
bad condition and very little business is
being done. Telephone poles all over the
city are reported down and many wires
are useless as a consequence. This state
of affairs is especially true in the south
western section of the city, which has no
Geographic communication whatever. On
Easton avenue fifteen poles fell within a
few blocks, cutting off all Geographic COM
munication with that part of the city and
blocking the Franklin-avenue electrician
line. Thus far the traffic of streetcar lines
has not been interrupted to any great ex-
tent.
A heavy snowstorm, the worst since 1890,
has been raging over Central Missouri dur
ing the past twelve hours. The ground is
covered to depth of twelve inches on the
badly. All trains were late this afternoon
and tonight. The Missouri Pacific is
sending out snowplows in advance of pas
senger trains and employing extra gangs
to shovel drifts out of deep cuts.
