THUR SDA'Y
LET THERECoRDsPEAK

The HERALD in its despair and travail
pablishes this morning the old indict-
ment to which Henry Blakely was ma
liciously made party more than a
quarter of a century ago. The indict-
ment alleges the cattle to be the prop
erty of William Blakely. William Blak-
ely is brother OF Henry Blakely and
the cattle turned out to be the property
OF Captain James Blakely, who is the
father of Henry Blakely. and Henry
Blakelywas aseertained to be an innocent
man.
The indictment was found on the testi-
mony of one witness only. The witness
for the state turned out to be convict
and notorious liar. and alter the finding
| of the Indictment was convicted and sem
fenced to the penitentiary OF this state.
People are not interested in the publish
| ing of an old malicious indictment, and
the Herald seems hard pushed for CAM
paign thunder. This old indictment will
not and should not hurt Henry Blekely
and will bring TO his support hundreds
of republicans who know Mr.. B;akeiy to
be an honorable and upright man. Wm.
Rlakely was as much surprised at the
false indictment as Henry.
Il was William Blakely, the same one
whose property is alleged To have been
stolen. who with Mr.. White, went on

The question is not the matter of an

citizen. The living question is not as to
McFeron's personal affairs but what Ie-
gal right has McFeron as pablir official
to make illegal charges against Linn
county and receive and retain the tax
payers money 10 which he is not en-
titled?

Mr.. Ed Mills, brakeman on tne Ore

yesterday afternoon about 4:l5. He was
making aeoupling on one of tke switches
when the END OF one OF the fingers of the

about thirty freight c1rs was taken up.
Then he went to the office OF DR. Ii. w.

SWEET POTATOES.
How to Keep Them In Perfect Condition
Through the Winter.

How to Keep Them In Perfect Condition
Through the Winter.
The following method / have found
to keep sweet potatoes in perfect or
der until June. Procure a good sup
ply of pine straw from the woods in a
dry time and keep it under cover ready
for use. Dig the potatoes as soon as
frost cuts the vines. If not convenient
to dig at once cut the frosted vines off
at once, or they will harbor fungous
growth that will damage the potatoes.
Dig on a warm, sunny day; lay the po-
tatoes along the row as dug; and do
not allow them to be bruised by throw
ing into piles. Handle at all times as
gently as eggs. Allow them to lie in
the sun during the day, and in the
evening haul to a convenient place.
Place good layer foot thick of pine
straw ON the ground, and on this pile
the potatoes in steep heaps, not over
twenty-five bushels in pile; cover the
piles thickly all over with the dry pine
straw; now build rough board shed
over the piles, and let them remain
until the weather grows colder. or I'M
TIL they have gone through a sweat
and dried off. Then cover the heaps
with earth six or eight inches thick
and beat smooth. The important
points are the sweating under the pre-
vlous cover of the pine straw before
covering with earth. very carefully
handling, and the board cover over
head. Dry earth keeps out more cold
than wet earth. If for family use. put
IN smaller piles and take up an entire
heap at once for use, keeping them in
dry, warm place while using.-W. T.
Massey, North Carolina Experimental
Station.

FACTS For FARMERS.

Lime on dry soils will show it's effect
at once and one application will show
for years.
1t is worth while to take extra pains
to keep the rats out of the corn crib. 1t
is good plan to nail projecting tin
around the edges.
irrigation is to be the salvation of
farming inthose regions where drought
is the rule. and the sooner it is made
available the better.
Whether to burn over the stubbIe
or not before blowing is question that
is asked. If in a region where there
is enough rain to rot the stubble there
is no need of burning. except TO kill in
sects. Where there is not enough rain
to do this it should be burned.
n St. Louis paper thinks that the corn
crop has been over-estimated to the ex-
tent of 600.000,00O bushels. That is a
pretty high figure. out that the crop
has been over-estimated we do not
doubt. Crop reports are nearly always
exaggerated to keep prices down. The
potato crop is also over-estimated in
our Observation-Disclosures Voice.

ton and then in the other. To each
half of a shaft is rigidly secured a
blade or sail, in such manner that
when one of the pair stands upright
the other will be lying down. a simple
and ingenious attachment rocks these
shafts and automatically raises and
lowers the blades, according to the re-
quirements of the service. The sails
are ''feathered" as a sliilIful boatman's
oars are.
An important feature of the latter
wind engine is that he has provided
for the storage of power. The force
developed by his machine operates so
as to lift heavily weighted platform.
Any expenditure OF this force tends
to lower the burden. Elevation of the
latter to its full height involves about
half days work. Grist mills, pumps,
dynamos and other mechanical or cleo
trical devices dependent on the wind
engine for power can he run for few
hours during calm if the storage plat
form has been previously raised to the
top notch, say, during the night.-N.Y

Wooden Trade Prospects.

As a record of the condition of the
wooden manufa curing trade, the follow
ing from the Wall Street Journal is of
interest.
One of the largest wooden manufacturers in
Providence was here last week, and in CONVEX
Sation stated that about 30 per cent of the
WOODEN mills of this country had closed down.
and others were closing steadily. On the other
hand, the mills in Leeds and Manchester. En-
gland, according to his reports, are working
night and day.
He is also a director in railroad in the
southwest. and says that one of the principal
returns the railroad is getting now is from
hauling sheep from New Mexico to Kansas
City and Chicago for slaughter houses. Wool
which has been bringing sixteen cents pound
can be sold now for only six cents. and there is
now no profit to the farmer in keeping his
sheen.

WAR "REMINISCENCES.

A Great Scheme to Shoot Hard-Tack Into
the Besieged City.

"A Great scheme to shoot H3rd-Iack into
the Besieged City.
Mai. Thomas Q. Farquhar, of Annis-
ton, Ala, on visit to Buffalo tly
told humorous story of the war.
During the siege of Vicksburg he was
in command of confederate regiment
outside of Gen. Grants lines. ave had
plenty of food" he said. ct was a
fertile territory that we had to draw
from and there was no difficulty in
getting enough to eat. We intercepted
poorly guarded supply train of the
Yanks and had enough to feed a regi-
ment for a month stored right in our
little camp. In spite of Yankee vigil
lance, spies would now and then steal
out of the city and we saw and talked
with several of them. Each had pit
iful story to tell of how the inhabitants
of Vicksburg suffered for food, and we
ransacked our brains to devise some
means of sending them a portion of
our plenty.
can old negro who was acting as a
gunner under me was the one to sug-
gest what looked at first like a feasible
plan. His idea was to load supplies
into four cannons which we had and
fire them boldly over the heads of the
Yankees into the city itself. 1t was a
great idea and after some study we de-
cided that it was worth while making
the experiment. The supplies which
we had captured consisted of hard
tack in tins that would go into guns
like grapeshot, and we calculated that
by giving them plenty of elevation we
could send the food directly into the
city, where even such morsels would
be welcome. was in command of the
detachment and gave my consent to
what an older and more experienced
officer would probably have frowned
upon as being contrary to all rules of
war.
Next morning at sunrise we loaded
the guns. We put plentiful charge
of powder in each and then rammed
home as many cans of hard-tack as
would equal in weight an ordinary cam
non ball, and that was not a great
many,I assure you. In one of the guns
we put four cans of tomatoes. This we
considered an experiment, as we had
little hope that such fluid stuff would
survive the impact of falling in the
city, but it was worth trying. We
pointed the guns and just before the
