SickrOOmA.

A medical journal urges, sensibly
enough, that in the present ex:ravagant
expenditure in house building little
money should be laid out in arranging
for sickroom, built on the sunny side
and equipped with at least the simple
means for isolation and care Of a sick
person. Ventilation should be we'll con-
sidered. The walls may be Of washable
material-paint tiles or covered with
waterproof bath paper. The plumbing
should be out of but convenient to it.
A little of the time and money invested
in libraries, bathrooms and oriental par
lors spent on an apartment whose use in
an emergency not unusual to frail hu-
manity may insure the comfort and
safety to the family that is necessary to
the enjoyment Of the more luxurious
rooms

The Onion Crop.

Last year there was shortage in the
onion crop Of this country, though the
market may not indicate this, as the i'm.
portations are enormous even in good
years. This country imports large guam
titles from abroad-from Cuba and the
Bermudas, from Spain and other Euro
pean countries, and even from the an
cient land of Egypt. In this country the
onion is successfully grown from the
Florida keys to the Canada border.
With the new onion culture" and the
improved old onion culture and lati-
tude wide enough to give fresh onions
every month in the year there is no
good reason why this country should
send abroad annually millions of dollars
for a product that can be proftably
grown at home. Farm and Fireside
says, after a careful study Of the i'm
proved methods of culture and good
selection of soil and varieties, growers
in every part of the Union could safely
and profitably enlarge the home produc-
ton of onions, not SO much by enlarg-
ing the acreage as by increasing the
yield from the acreage already devoted
to this crop.
Combating Wireworms With Poisons.
The method of combating wireworms
by covering the seeds previous to plant
ing with some poisonous matter has re-
ceived much attention among farmers,
and for three years experiments were
conducted at the Cornell station in this
same direction. Professor Slingerland,
reporting on these experiments, says
that none e the poisons used prevented
the wireworms from eating the seeds.
and no injury resulted to the wire
worms. Paris green, tar, salt, copper.
as solution, kerosene oil, turpentine
and strychnine solution were all en-
ployed without the desired effect Of de-
stroying the pests. - -.,.

OUAY'S GREAT VICTORY
He Seems Certain to be Elected
 Chairman of the Convention.
A STAMPEDE TO HIM IS EXPECTED

The Latest Primary Elections Indicate That
 the Beaver Man wm Be successful With.
 out Vote From Philadelphia, and He h
 Likely to Get Twenty There.
 PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 12.-The back. bone of the combination to prevent Sena- tor Quay from being elected chairman ot the Republican state committee at the state convention on Aug. 2S is broken. The results in favor of Quay in the Schuyl- kill county convention and at the primary elections in the counties of Montgomery, Adams, Juniata, York and Perry practi- cally ended the contest and shattered the hopes of David Martin of Philadelphia and Chris l.. Magee of Pittsburg.
 Quay last night lost nothing that he had predicted he would get and won seven more delegates than he had claimed.
 Early last week ex-State Chairman Cooper, a supporter of Quay, published a tabular estimate of how the state conven- tion delegates would stand as between Quay and Banking Superintendent Gilke- son, the Hastings Martin Magee candidate for reelection as state chairman.
 Of the counties that held elections Sat- urday MT. Cooper only claimed three for Quay-Schuylkill, with seven delegates; Adams, two. and Juniata, one. Quay has won them all. The Cooper table con- ceded Perry's two delegates to Gilkeson and so they have gone. Cooper placed Montgomery, with seven delegates, and York, with five in the doubtful column, but only York remains there now, not all of the returns being in, and Quay has carried Montgomery, a county where the anti Cameron issue that is being worked against Quay was expected by the Martin Magee combine to damage him more than in any other county.
 A Stampede to Quay Expected.
 The combine had ridiculed Cooper's es- innate, which gave Quay 164 delegates in the state convention, and Gilkeson 1O6, with 19 delegates, including Montgom- ery's and York's, as doubtful.
 The combine had claimed the entire 24 delegates in these six counties except the one in Juniata, but on the eve of Schuyl- kills election the Gilkeson men reduced their claim in that county from seven to four.
 Even if York goes for Gilkeson he will have only seven delegates of last night s lot.
 A month ago David Martin declared that Quay would get only two delegates from Philadelphia. Today Martin con cedes 10, but the number is moro likely to be 20 out of a total of 70 After last nights Quay victories the senator could win without delegate from Philadelphia.
 A stampede to Quay of wavering party leaders here and in other counties is like ly to follow. He has four years yet to serve in the United States senate, and his now assured election as state chairman will put him in control of the delegation to the presidential convention.
 He will be a more powerful state leader than ever, because he will have emerged in triumph from the greatest battle oi his life, conflict with the entire state administration and all the party machin, cry of Philadelphia and Pittsburg.

BAD INDIANS CAUGHT.
They Murdered All the Men They Met ani
 Assaulted the Women.


 WAGoNER, I. T., Aug. 12.-With the exception of one the gang of Indians which has committed series of diabollcal crimes since July 30 in the territory was captured near Okmulgee after a desperate fight and started for the Fort Smith (Ark.) jail to avoid being lynched.
 The gang, which began its heinous oper- ations by murdering Deputy United States Marshal John 9arratt at Okmulgee, and escaping to the hills of the Creek nation, was led by Rufus Buck, Uche Indian.
 The day after murdering Garratt tho gang met q white man and his daughter in a wagon. Covering the man with their guns, the Indians took the girl from the wagon. and eachl assaulted her within sight of her father.
 The next victims were Ben Callahan and negro boy, whom the gang met on the road. They murdered the boy and beat Callahan so that they believed him to be dead when they left the scene after robbing the man of money, boots and sad /~1le.
 Next in their path of crime they met two white women and girl II years old. All were repeatedly assaulted by the fiends and one of the girls died.
 By this time the country in the vicinity of these crimes had become aroused. Fed eral and Indian posses started at first to capture or kill the murderers of Garratt, that being the first crime heard of.
 On Thursday afternoon the pursuers came up with the gang 12 miles from Ok mulgee and divided, one half going to a place of ambush, into which the other party drove the gang from the summit of hill. A fight with rifles and revolvers followed, in which Captain Harry fell from his horse, a bullet grazing his head, and three horses were killed. Five of the gang were captured alive, and the sixth escaped.
 In the possession of the murdcrcrs were 1000 rounds of ammunition and a great quantity of stolen property. They were taken to Okmulgee, whero a mob of citi- zens, bent on lynching them, surrounded the officers, but the officers escaped with their prisoners to Muskogee.
 The town was kept in an uproar all night by the attempts to lynch the In- dians and the efforts of the business men to prevent mob violence. The mob was finally quieted long enough to allow of a third escape of the posse and prisoners on Q train for Fort Smith.

 to Open the Cell Doors.
 LEBANON, Ky, Aug. 12. A mob of about 40 men went to the Springfield jail about 1 o'clock this morning and demand cd of tho jailer the keys leading to the cells of Matthew Lewis and Jesse Ray, who outraged a woman recently. The jailcr, seeing resistance was useless, hand cd over the keys and the mob at once proceeded to the jail. None of them could unlock the jail doors. After working at the locks and bolts without success they procured sledge hammers and tried to batter down the doors. The doors proved too strong for them. however. and after hours of hard work they abandoned the job. They then emptied their revolvers into the cells of the jail, but no one was hit. Returning the keys, they told him they would be back again.
 The mob was composed of men from Washington and Marion counties, none, it is said, being from this county. The sheriff of Washington county passed through this city yesterday with Lewis and Ray on their way to Louisville where the negroes will be confined until the excitement at Springfield is over.

 Fichus are especially pretty and eff fective additions to all thin summer gowns, and if made after the latest models they arc cut little low ill the neck in front, V shape, but round and high in the back, and whether the fichu is made ill the form of a full collar or a square shawl, with rounded corners and long ends to cross in front. it follows the shape of tho neck in the quaint pretty style of old. Lace rutflcs or tiny frills of the same material are the usual finish for all tichus, and one particular advantage of this article of dress is that it is equally pretty for elderly and for young ladies.
