Murphy Bebs Up Again.

Murphy, of the Bainbridge Observer,
is after the corn.gnawing Greenfield
girl again. He says:
A copy of the st. Louis Republic, con.
tanning an account of a Coontown, In.
dina, farmer who had advertised for q
wife, was received at this Office.
In reading the many answers the lone
some Coontown soil disturber had re.
ceived, the following loomed up the
most conspicuous, as we'll as loving:
"Greenfeld, o., January 81, 1S95-My

Let me know, o, please, Henry, what

blissfully, MAGGIE
Coming from so close to home the
Observer naturally took more interest in
that than any of the other letters, and
we began to investigate to learn, if pos.
sible, what Maggie's other name is, and
who do you suppose she is ? None other
than the girl described in this paper a
few weeks ago as having invented new
plan of removing corns from her feet,
by gnawing them off!
But Maggies impetuous missive rather
frightened the Coontown wife seeker
and he fastened to reply by postal card
that Maggie should remain where she
was until further orders, as he was not
quite so sure about the affinity she
mentioned. In the meantime Maggie
continues to gnaw her corns and the
Coontown farmer is probably still in
search of wife

The shah of Persia, when visiting
the late emperor of Germany, some
years ago, was taken to the opera, and
during the course of the performance
was asked how he liked the music. He
confessed that the majority of it was
pretty crude. but that one piece the
orchestra had just been playing was
simply superb. The emperor at once
gave orders for the repetition of the
piece. NO" said the shah, that's not
it." Another one was played. No.
returned the royal visitor, Its not
that. either" Presently the orchestra
began to tune their instruments.
That's it," cried the shah, enthusias-
tically. "That's the piece l was trying
to tell you about!' So, for the edifica-
tion of this barbaric ruler, and to the
anguish of the rest of the audience, the
orchestra tuned, and untuned. and re-
tuned their instruments in the most
heartrending fashion, and the shah
leaned back in his chair, while his face
wore a look Of unspeakable enjoyment.

Old Time Democratic Platform.

In the present great revolution in
national politics, and the complete
breaking down Of party lines it may be
interesting to some to read the first
national platform ever adopted by any
party in this country. Up to 1882 there
had been no national conventions and
no national platform adopted, but that
year the first convention which was
Democratic, was held at Baltimore,
March 22, 1882, which nominated
Andrew Jackson for president and
Martin Van Buren for vice president.
The platform was adopted at a ratif.
cation meeting at Washington d. c.,
May II Of the same year. The platform
is as follows:
Resolved, that an adequate protection
to American industry is indispensable
to the prosperity OF the country, and
that an abandonment of the policy at
this perold would be attended with con.
sequences ruinous to the best interests
of the nation.
Resolved, that uniform system of
internal improvements, sustained and
supported by the general government,
is calculated to secure in the highest
degree the harmony, the strength and
permananency of the Republic.
Resolved, that the indiscriminate re.
moval of public officers for mere diff
ference of political opinion, is a gross
abuse of power. and the doctrines late.
ly boldly preached in the United States
Senate, "that to the victors belongs the
spoils OF the vanquished" is detrimental
to the interests, corrupting to the morals
and dangerous to the liberties of the
country. This document was plain,
simple and to the point, and had it been
adopted by the convention that nomin.
ated Cleveland and its principals been
carried out by his administration, the
country would not have been as it is now,
plunged into uncertainty and doubt,
and be trembling upon the verge OF
national bankruptcy.

What a Span!

The recent death of Joseph Drouil-
lard at Gallipolis at the age of 9S, leads
the Journal to cogitate as follows:
"He was born just forty days after the
death of the poet Burns. He was born
thirteen years before President Lincoln,
who has been dead nearly thirty years.
He lived under the administration OF
every man who was ever president of
the United States, living over six months
while Washington was President, and
was over three years old when he
died."
"He lived thirty six years contem.
poraneously, with Charles Carroll, Of
Carrollton, the last surviving signer Of
the Declaration of independence.
"He was nearly nineteen years old
when the battle of Waterloo was fought
"He was twenty-eight years old when
La Fayette was in GalIipolis.
He was too old to be soldier in the
Mexican war.
"He was ffer at the execution oi
James Lane in this county in 1917, and
was the only surviving witness known.
"He could have voted for James Mon
roe in 1917, for President.
"Daniel Boone lived twenty-foul
years after Mr.. Drouillard's birth anC
died thirteen years younger than the
latter.
"He was six years old when Ohio was
admitted into the Union.

IMPORTANT HINTS ON FRUIT.
ITEMS OF INTEREST.
Well Known Commission Man Gives
His Opinion on Fruit Con-
servation-- Other Matters.
Fruit for Market.

Communicated,
DEAR SIR:-May I venture, through
your paper, a few suggestions as to
the packing and handling of fruit.
Having had an experienc of several
years in this line, I feel warranted in
giving word of "advice." At this
time when fruit brings so very little,
it behooves the growers to put it up
so that it will bring the best possible
price. Fruit can be sorted at the
ranch much cheaper than it can be by
the commission man or dealer in town.
If inferior fruit is mixed In the box
with good fruit, it goes, as a general
thing, at the price of the poor rather
than the good fruit. The reason that
California fruit sells 80 we'll all over
the United States and in Europe is
that it is 80 carefully sorted and neatly
packed. Small or rough fruit is worth
more to leave on the ground as fer
tilizer than to box and take it to mar
ket. Ventilation of boxes is abso.
lutely essential for all eaIly fruit.
Pears should each one be wrapped in
white paper--newspapers OF any pa
per with printers ink spells the fla
vor. Boxes should be of uniform size,
as the most of the fruit is sold in
box. Green box stuff should, if posi-
BILE, be dried out in the shade. This is
very necessary for soft fruits. l am
aware that have not written word
that has not been repeated over and
over again, but these are essential
facts that need to be told often and
needed.
fully appreciate the very great dis
advantages the fruit growers are un-
der in having to haul fifty miles over
rough roads, but careful packing and
careful driving are the more essential
because of the disadvantages to be
overcome Now, Mr.. Editor, pardon
little personal allusion to the com
mission man. If results of sales are
not always as good as expected, tel
him so, frankly, as he may be able tc
throw light on the matter. 1t must bt

Special Correspondence.
FRUITLAND, Aug. IA presume
that you and many of the readers of
your wide awake paper have learned
of the fearful tragedy that took place
at Mancos a week ago today. 1t seems
there had been bad feeling between
Ed Caveniss and Byron McGeoch for
some time. On Wednesday afternoon
McGeoch was sitting in a saloon en-
ioying his cigar. when Caveniss came
in. He passed McGeoch, then turning
quick as cat, he drew his revolver
and shot McGeoch through the heart,
then fred shots into his face and fin.
ished the cold blooded murder by
beating him over the head with the
revolver. Caveniss then walked from
the saloon, mounted his horse and
rode away for parts unknown. A nu-
merously signed petition has been for
warded to the governor of Colorado,
asking that reward of $4,000 be offer
ed for the arrest of Caveniss, dead or
alive.
While through the Mancos and Mon
tezma valleys many questions were
asked in regard to our coming fair
will it be purely an agricultural exhib-
ition or will stock, minerals and ev-
erything of value that the people can
bring be exhibited? If stock is exhib-
tied what will be the accommodations
at the fair for keeping the stock? Will
premiums be paid? If SO what will be
the fees required on competing AMI
mails? I Isuggest that you publish in
your paper the rules and conditions
governing these things and that you
send copy of the same to be posted
at the postofioes at Mancos and Cor
tez; also send copy to A. L. Brod-
