How often are seen people little past the
meridian of life who, but for the lingering
effects of some ailment of an unusually
stubborn nature, might still be enjoying
robust health, but who on account of the
lack of remedy to assist nature in throwing
off the disease are broken down and worn
out long before the allotted time.

A Calico Ball.

The novel in entertainment is greatly
sought for by the amusement loving
world upon whom the ordinary forms of
entertainment have begun to pail. Hard
time parties at which diamonds are
worn in conjunction with calico and
jeans have had run in popular favor
but shrewd entertainers have had their
wits at work to devise something new
and they have succeeded in evolving the
"calico BALI
Not only is the wearing of calico
gowns required for the feminine portion
of the company but an element of I'M
certainty as to who shall be the favored
gallant exists and gives zest to the even
ing. Each lady is required, when she
enters the room, to deposit sample Of
the fabric from which her gown is con
structed, in a box from which it is
drawn by the lucky fellow who is to
bask in her smiles for the evening. A
ceDsOrious committee, of course, sees TO
1t that the couples are paired simply by
chance and that the element of selection
is not given an opportunity to manifest
itself.
The first ball upon this delightful
plan, to be given in Meeker, will occur
at court house hall on the evening of
March 18th, it being given under the
auspices of coterie of young men who
are in for having good time and lots of
fun. 1t is generally supposed that a
bevy of young ladies are back of the af
fair, but this being the season of the
year when fasting and modification Of
the flesh is supposed to be INDUCED in,
the ladies, who are loath to shock the
moral sensibilitics of this strictly pious
community, necessarily remain in the
background, but they have able lieu
tenants in the persons of Messrs Kelly,
Pfeiffer, Mootz and DR.. Bruner.

NIAGARA IS HARNEssED.
h Great Dynamos of the Cataract
Company in Operation.

NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y, Aug. 2a.-
After almost five years of work and
the expenditure of over So, ZOO. 900.
Niagara Falls has finally been har.
messed, and the power generated by
the 5,oC0 horse power dynamos of the
Cataract Construction company are
now sending out the electricity for
commercial use.
The first power was delivered to the
works of the Pittsburg Reduction
company here at 7:3o O'Clock yester-
day morning, when the dynamo No. 2
in the construction company's power
house was set in motion. At the re.
ductlon company's works there were
about a dozen men at work, and the
pots used in the making of aluminium
were heated by them.
The power from the power houses is
sent over copper cables laid in q con-
duit to the aluminium works. The
current sent out is an alternating one,
and before it "a be used in the max
Ing Of aluminium it must be trans
formed into a direct current. This is
lone by passing through four of the
largest rotary transformers ever built.
These are 2,lOO horse power each, and
three of them are running. Every
thing was found to work perfectly and
great satisfaction was expressed by
the officers.

or GRASS.
Agricultural Department Bulletin on
b Important Subject

This Important Subject
WAsHlRGToN, Aug. e8.-Considera-
bic Importance from an agricultural
standpoint attaches to a circular on
experimental grass gardens, which has
just been issued as the first publica-
tlcn of the agrostology division of
the. a agricultural department. 1t dis
crsses general grass conditions in the
country and says: 1.-THE American has
been a grass killer everywhere. Our
native grasses and clovers are
being driven out by a foreign species,
and the assertion is made that enough
money has been spent by American
farmers for worthless fodder plants
from foreign sources to more than paw
the expenses of the whole department
for one year" Voicing the sentiments
of Secretary Morton, the general grass
conditions in the country are summed
ND as follows: The mount of money
invested in the cattle industry is reck-
oned by the hundred million dollars.
and every dollar of that value is abso-
lutely dependent upon the question of
forage. Strip broad acres Of their
grasses and clovers, and instead Of re-
ceiving millions Of dollars for the meat
products sent to foreign lands, we
would have to pay out money for
them. The cattle industry and the
wool industry are dependent upon the
question Of grass. The native Vest
ern grasses are being rapidly driven
out to make way for the worthless
weeds that civilization and scanty
cultivation brings with them. Already
the buffalo grass and the mesquite
have disappeared from a large section
OF Kansas and Nebraska. Acres that
were nee covered with these most nu-
trltlous species are now occupied by
woody kinds, and their value as pas
ture and hay lands is constantly dimin-
fishing. Similar destruction of grasses
has followed the cultivation of cotton
in the South and of tobacco and hoed
crops generally in all sections of the
country

SPLIT IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Two Republican State Conventions in
Sight.


HARRISBURG. Pa. Aug. 2S Senator
Quay and his followers made a bold
dash yesterday in the fight for Repub.
lican supremacy in this state by taking
possession of the state committee and
deposing 3. T.. Gilkeson from the
Craftsmanship. Their object in doing
this was to place themselves in posi-
ton to prepare the rolls of the dele
gates to Wednesdays convention. so
that they might appear before that
body with a prima facia case.
What the effect of this move will be
cannot yet be foretold, and the next
move OF the Hastings people is looked
for with great interest.
The situation, in general, is intensely
exciting, and altogether uncertain.
Both factions are claiming victory, bnt
1T must be admitted that those who
are opposing the aspirations Of SEN
ator Quay are the most serene and
confident.
Both factions are busy preparing
rolls Of delegates, and it will probably
not be known until tonight, when
both sides caucus, whether there will
be two conventions. Many of the
knowing ones profess to believe that
the Quayites, failing to get control of
the temporary organization, will bolt
and hold an independent convention.
IN this event there may be two Repub.
llcan tickets in the field this fall.

Never needlessly expose the eye
to foreign particles, but when nec-

says a writer in the Hygenic Doctor.
When experimenting with chemicals
always turn the mouth of the tube
or bottle away from the face and
eyes. Whenever an eye is injured
severely place the patientimmediate-
ly in a dark room and under the care
of a skilled physician, whose di-
r%ections must be implicitly followed

under the lids it is sufficient to pull
the lid away from the eye and to
wipe the body with a piece of moist
paper or the corner of a handkerchief;
if it is undcr the upper lid, grasp the
lid firmly between the thumb and
finger, lift it from the eyeball and
draw it down over the lower lid, and
then allow it to slide slowly back to
its natural position. The foreign
body will be scraped off ON the lashes.
The operation may be repeated sew
eral times. Or lift the lid from the
eyeball, allow the tears to accumu-
late beneath the lid. and forcibly
blow the nose. Or place in the eve
a few grains of Aaxseed, which,
forming a mucilage, will promptly
bring relief. Or place across the
upper lid the point of a pencil or
bodkin and turn the lid back over it.;
in this way the foreign particle is
brought into distinct view and can be
readily wiped away.
Lime and Roman cement are very
destructive to the eyes if permitted
to remain any considerable time.
Wash the eyes Immediately with
water, then with water containing a
little ammonia OF baking soda.
For alkalies wash with water con-
tanning vinegar or lemon juice.
