PowELL's FORT HAPPENINGS.

POWELLS tOhV dAfREN INGS.
A word or two for eur favonte old
HERALD, the paper that gives it's read
ers lots of news.
The cold snap of Saturday night made
our farmers some what down hearted
again, but we are hoping for spring to
come by and by. People are moving
this Spring. We wish them all great
success in their new locations.
We are sorry to hear of the sickness Of
Miss Cora Lichliter. and hope she will
soon be out again.
If you want to see real friendly people
through this section just take glance at
the candidates who are IN the field for
the Spring election.
Mrs. Eli Coverstone is very i'll at this
time. We hope we can report in our next
letter that she is much better.
We guess there will be a wedding 10
this neighbOrhood if the interested
parties can decide upon the place where
the ceremony is to take place. We hope
1t will be decided agreeably to both the
lovers.
We Learn that good old Noah came out
Of his ark aud made quite a stampede
among some of the big dudes Of this
place. We think Noah and his two
intended sons-.n-law will be able to
hold the fort.
Prohibition got so strong about the
Cross Roads that it caused the heads to
hurst out of the barrels and made the
good wine run in great streams in the
bitches of that place, so that the scent q
1t drew many visitors.
Miss Julia Sibert aud Mr.. Ed. Stevens
were married last Sunday evening, at
Mr. P. c. Rinker's.
Our bachelor left Sunday with one 81
oar best in his new rig, and has not
returned at this writing. We wish him
abundant success.

This will not be campaign of outdoor
display, of long lines of marching men, gay
in bright OilclOth capeS and carrying SmOk-
ing torches and heavy transparencies, upon
which are inscribed legends hostile to the
enemy. A New York World reporter made
inquiries among the dealers in campaign
supplies on Park place for political novel
ties
This is not the year for campaign
goods said of the dealers I'VE are
doing brisk business in the sale of de-
tonating bombs, colored fires and few
oddities in the way of signal torches, but
there is no call thus far for the lamps or
club uniforms The presidential years are
the times for that kind of business
"A few swell clubs may do something this
year in the way of parading. but we look
for very little business out of the campaign
The only big parade that l have heard of is
the Anti-Tammany demonstration of Nov
3, and that is to march in the day time
That may boom the flo business lttle
A common feature Of outdoor demonstra-
lions viii be the mounting Of large bells on
wagons bearing transparencies. The bells
can be rented of dealers at a low figure
The noise is all that could be desired for
the purpose of attracting attention, and it
is cheap.
TIN novelty manufacturers have placed
upon the market enameled campaign but
tons, bearing small photographs of Senator
Hill and of Levi p. Morton. Park Row
and Broadway peddlers are handling them
at cents each. One style of Hill button

Mr.. Cameron, who is so serious and I'M

is of the gayest of men in the pri-
vate circles of his own choosing and his
house has been the scene of some of the
livelies poker playing known in Wash
ington, says the Titusville Herald He is
also one of the senatorial circle which,
during the session, met at a private hotel
there and played a stiff game two or three
times a week. One or two of the men in
this game were too poor to play poker
Butler, of South Carolina, is one of these
poor poker playerS-poOr in more sense
than one Vest, of Missouri, who is one
of the livelieSt of the boys when on a
senatorial spree and one of the most crab
bed and disagreeable of men at all other
times, is another of the poker crowd. Vest
lived for many years in little frame cot
tage on Capitol Hill with the sergeant-at-
arms of the senate. and he was so poor
house at the capital. But Vest could afford
to play $50 limit and lose. Cameron has
always had more money than he could
spend. OF course, he could not give money
to his friends, Vest and Butler; but with
his knowledge of the stock market (second
only to that of Senator Quay he could
give them points of value and put them
into deals which he knew would be profit
able. The result was to make good the
money these men had lost at poker and
keep them in the game. And as Vest is a
good story teller and Butler always a
jovial companion, Mr.. Cameron found his
reward in their society.

horticulture and various other branches.
Ills own department was animal industry.
When lectures were given, living speci-
mems Of live stock were brought into the
class room and the students were required
to judge them Practical lessons were
given in carpentry. blacksmithing and the
killing and dressing of meats for use upon
the farm. The cost of this education could
not be less. The students are only charged
for board and simply what it costs, and
the regents are anxious to still further
reduce it. Col Liggett, the chairman of
the agricultural committee, who he was
glad to see present at this meeting, gave
instructions last autumn to have animals
fattened upon the farm, to be slaughtered
for use in connection with the boarding
house. He said that if he were young
man again, and intended to live by farming,
and knew the value of the education which
this school can give, as he knows it now,
he would go and seek employment wherever
he could get it and earn money to pay his
way, providing it were not forthcoming in
any other way. The young men of the
farm homes of Minnesota will never know
what they lose if they miss the help which
this school can impart to them.

reform paper Of this country and
is easily preferred among mem
bers Ct the Peoples party. In
thousands of families it is the
only paper taken. Our subscribers
read the advertisements with a
kindly feeling to'sard those who
have placed them in their favorite
paper, and letters to this office
tell of splendid results which ad-
vertisers have obtained thus
pointing the way for others who
are really anxious to reach buyers.
Very many Populists are farm

thinking men Of principle and
substance, whose families buy the
most goods in this part of the
country. They polled more than
$4,000 votes in Minnesota at the
last election and over SIX THOUs-

Our subscription list is growing,

HIS ELIXIR OF LIFE.
A Convict Who Says Butter and 4
cOhOl Will PrOIOng Life

Convict Who Says Butter and Al
cohol Will Prolong Life
Romer Best convict in the prison at
Dannemora, Clinton county, N. Y, claims
to have the secret Of perpetual life, and
wants to have his formula tested on the
condition that if it is successful he shall
be given his freedom, says the Chicago
Tribune. His cause has been taken up by
Charles Brady, who was released from the
prison on Thursday. Best, he says, is an
intelligent colored man, about So years DID,
who was sentenced in a Brooklyn court to
serve 20 years for burglary. His term
will expire in 1902, and for his liberty now
Brady says, Best is willing to offer man
kinds greatest boon.
His proposition is that he be taken from
prison in habeas corpus proceedings and
that he meet a committee of doctors and
scientists before a judge, the latter to de-
eide the merits of his claim. Brady says
he knows little of Bests secret, except
that the principal ingredient in his elixir
of life is alcohol. part of his trea tment
is to give the candidate for perpetual life
an ounce of butter and follow this with
a quantity of alcohol. Best's theory is
that the alcohol will sink below the butter,
and thus the patients brain will be protect
ed from the fumes and he will not "get
jag on
Unfortunately for the locked up Ponce
de Leon, he can't get the alcohol in prison
Mr.. Brady is inclined to criticise Warden
Thayer for not giving Best the necessary
ingredients and allow him to practice
on prisoners in the hospital Brady says
Best has made this proposition to the
warden repeatedly, but has always been
laughed at. He also offered after an exc
cution by electricity to restore the victim
to life but the state authorities would not
take the chances of having to inf1ct cap
1tal punishment twice on the same subject.
Brady says Best is well educated, intel
ligent and popular with convicts and keep
ers. He says he has been Is years perfect
ing this formula and asserts that it will
prolong life as long as it is used. He
will not, however, give up the secret until
released from prison.
The discoverer Of the new elixir is known
at Dannemora as No. 727. He is in No. 1
company, cell Sc and works with the white
wash gang. His grandmother lived to be
100. and he expects to live always if he can
get the required alcohol.
