SILVER VICTORY PREDICTED.
Representative Bailey Says There
Can BE No Other Logical Result.

Washington. May 3l.--Representative
Bailey, Of Texas, who started last
night for Kentucky to take part in the
fight now raging between the free
coinage and sound money wings of the
Democratic party in that state. said
before leaving Washington:
II have no doubt whatever of the tri-
umph of silver at Chicago. The old
Democratic strongholds are all in line,
and our friends in the west are stand
ing firm. The peope are at last aroused
on the subject. The audiences that I
have addressed showed the liveliest in
terest, and reports received from local
leaders were all highly encouraging.
But there is nothing strange about this.
Why should there be anything strange
about II? If the Democratic party by
platforms adopted and by votes cast
in congress Is committed to anything,
it is committed to free silver"
You think, then. that the party
should so declare itself at Chicago?"
In the most unmlstakahle terms.
The platform adopted there should be
Democratic from top to bottom, and it
will be, And more than that. 1t will
contain a pledge that the candidates
who stand unon il will In case of cleo

things don't intend to heve. any more
straddles. The platform must point in
but one direction, and the candidates
must point in the same direction. Then
If we win at the polls, and believe we
will win, our duty will be plain before
US. and our executive altogether to be
trusted to carry out our wishes and
pledges. The charge of double-dealing
will not then lie against anybody"

CLOSE OF THE ASSEMBL Y
Shortest Session on RecOrd-Ait ,ndaac
Not as Large as Last Year-Many
Of the Ablest Men Silent.

Saratoga, N. Y, May 31.-The second
Presbyterian Sunday here was attende,
by a perfect downpour but which did ncj
interfere to any great extent with tn
attendance at the various church ser
vices whose pulpits were filled by com
misisoners. Five sessions were held il
the assembly chrch, opening this morn
ing with q strong sermon by Rev. d. II
Breed, of Pittsburg.
BY tomorrow noon all of the commits
sioners will have left town. thus closine
the assembly Of 1896.
A brief review of the session is ap-
ropOs:
It's session was the shortest in it's his
tory, only nine days being consumed
In point Of attendance it was not a.
large by five members as last year
Comparatively few of the best known
names were on the rcll and many OF
the ablest men were not heard.
"As hard problems We're up as ever
came before any assembly," said one OF
the members today, land the action
was as decisive. but possibly couched IN
fuller and more modifying Language
The urgent desire for seminary contrc1
by the assembly was unanimously en-
dorsed. and donors were exhOrted as tc
peril The action of the Pittsburg as

institutions was affirmed with explana
tions. There was 10 weakening on ju-
d!cial cases. The assembly thought it,
mission was to eliminate special com.
mittees but 1t only discharged thre'
and created four new ones. No fina'
action was taken on any great ques-
tion."
The agitation on young peoples so.
cieties is only begun, it is said, and
will be further along next year. The
New York mission house and the semin
airy control questions are not settled
and the 'Temuoralties'' subject onl,
started. It Is predicted that the move.
nent for constitutional rule as to can
didates will start the greatest agitation
of the day, while the committee to en-
anime into the expenses, ETC.. of the
home board will only open a great dis
cussion. Within six months the worl;
of the assembly will have taken its
place In history and be better known
and better still by 1900,

The appearances of the hearses In the
sad procession alone punctuated the
points where one funeral party ended
and another began. Fifty-one of the
victims were buried today In this city,
and thirty-nine in East St Louis
The work of searching the ruins has
gone steadily on. Two hundred work
house prisoners were set to work upon
the ruins of the city hospital Healtl.
Officer Starkloff IS of the opinion that
number of bodies are under the ruins
and the work was pushed with vigor
Up to 6 p. m. no bodies were found.
Lack of labor in ST. Louis hampers
search work. The labor agitator is
abroad in the city, and his infamous
work has had its effect, as in some
cases one dollar q hour was demanded
for searching the ruins.
Three patients died IN St Nary's tos.

Frankfort, Ky. May 3l.-Fathev
Thomas Major, pastor of the Church
Of the Good Shepherd. created some
thing of a sensation in his sermon to-
day. After reading a letter from the
bishop of the diocese directing the

Mckinley. Senator Allison and other
Republican and Democratic presiden-
tial possibilities asking them for o writ

ISOLATION, he said that the time had
come when Catholics, in self-protec-
ton, should know the sentiments of
candidates for office on this subject.
He predicted that but few of those to
whom the letters are to be addressed
will give an answer to the query in re-
gard to the American Protective ssso-
citation, hut indicated that Catholics
should affiliate only with those who
speak out in open hostility to the order.

Remedy for Flies on Cattle.

Take coal tar two parts and coal oil
and grease enc part each and mix with
a small amount of carbolc acid. Apply
with cloth by moistening the hair and
horns Of the animal with the LIQUID. In
the applications include feet and legs,
and it will drive every fly away, and
one application will last ten days or
more in dry weather. Apply as often
as necessary and your COWS will be en-
tirely secure from flies of all kinds
Any kind Of old lard or grease can be
used. Coal tar is the base Of this rem
edy, and when too thick to spread we'll
use more coal oil; when too thin to adj
here well use more coal tar. Carbolic
acid will cost about so or 60 cents in
crystals by the pound, and every farmer
should always keep it on hand, as it, in
it's many uses, is indispensable. This
remedy is equally effective as lice ex-
terminator on poultry, and is used sim
ply by painting the sides of the hennery
and roosts and dropping boards with the
liquid. For young chickens saturate a
cloth and place in the bottom Of box,
and place the mother and young chick
ems in the box for an hour or so. This
recipe is equal to any preparation in
the market. Cut it out. Use It'll.

on the sore, and to pad which he had
placed right on the sore. When | asked
why the pad was placed where it aggra-
waited the evil, | was told thai it was soft
and ought to make the pressure on the
sore spot easier. 1t had not occurred to
the driver that the pad so placed really
increased the pressure on the spot. In
ten minutes there was pad just above
the sore and another Just below it, and
none over it, and my friend had some
instructions about curing gals which |
will repeat.
The pad should not be very thick
one-usually half an inch in thickness
when the animal is pulling is better
than more-but broad pad, and it
should never be stuffed with cotton or
wool, which forms into hard Jumps in
short time, but with fine blue stem hay,
which does not form into Jumps, and
which does not lose it's elasticity. A hay
pad springs the collar forward as soon as
the draft is removed, resting and cooling
the shoulder. The best pad is made of
an old trousers leg wrapped around the
collar and held in place by the names.
Of course there should be very little hay
under the names and between the collar
and the neck of the horse.
Do not put grease of any kind on a
gall. 1t softens the hide, increasing the
probability of its being broken and worn
off, and if the flesh IS exposed, grease
keeps it tender and more sensitive, while
not aiding so much as some other things
in healing.
One of the best preventives of gals,
after properly fitting collars, is strong
salt water used as bath on the
shoulders each evening. Its use should
be begun four weeks before the animal
is put to hard work. The preventive of
gals is well fitting harness. Harness
should never be bought when the ami
NAL is not at hand to be fitted. This is
true of all parts of the harness, and par
ticularly of the collar. There is as great
a variety in horses shoulders as there is
in men s noses, and because a collar fits
one horse is no reason why it should fit
another.-Montapa Stockman.

had to use the horse, and had done all
he could to get the shoulder well, calling

fornia dry mixture is made of lime,
salt and sulphur to apply to fruit trees.
This must be freshly made for use, for
the absorbent affinity Of salt for water
in the atmosphere renders it extremely
difficult to keep it long before it becomes
damp and lumpy. The dry sulphur
powder is also frequently used alone.
and is highly recommended by some
fruit growers. 1t is supposed to kill the
insects Just as the Persian powder does
or boric acid, by closing up their breath
ing holes and smothering them.
The use of the Bordeaux mixture ia
dry form is also now coming into favor.
1t should not, of course, ever be applied
on the fruit itself, but on the leaves and
twigs. A correspondent in the Rural
New Yorker thus gives his experience
With the dry insecticide:
My experience with dry powders as
Insecticides is confined to last years
operations. | used the dry powder gun
on potatoes for bugs and blight at one
operation. Potatoes treated five times
with fungiroid died naturally, while
potatoes not so treated died suddenly
with blight. The fungiroid also checked
leaf blight on pear trees at once. After
June Is | used dry powder on apples
and peaches, and cannot see why it is
not Just as effective as the water solu
ton which have always used on trees,
and to some extent on potatoes. Dry
powder cannot be used when the wind
blows, ON trees; ON potatoes it seems to
make no difference, and does not require
any more material. | obtained equally
good results from the use Of arsenic and
powdered sulphate of copper in combi
nation with twice the weight Of air
slaked lime, prepared in the following
proportions:
A B G D
White arsenic, lbs.... .......... ~ ~ "
Copper sulphate. powdered. lbs.
Air Stacked lime, lbs. .............
To mix these substances | use a two
quart fruit jar, or when large quantities
are to be mixed | take a six gallon keg,
and turn it with the handle of barrel
churn. | call A and B sufficient for
an acre Of potatoes or trees.
For applying these powders to potato
vines very simple contrivance is sug-
gested by writer in the Ohio Farmer,
thus: Get small cigar box-seven
inches long is about right. Take off the
bottom and tack on it's place three
thicknesses of door screen. Have the
meshes break joints. Tack a forked
stick on the box so that you can carry
it in one hand like dlpper. With a
light stick in the other hand tap it
lightly as you walk along the row.
The powder com bination suggested by
the Ohio man is one teaspoonful (heaped)
of Paris green to half gallon of flour,
air Stacked lime, plaster paris, land
plaster, or, best of all, cement, such as
is used to plaster cisterns with. This
last does not wash off as easily as any OF
the others and costs no more than flour.
Mix in large pail. A gallon will dust
an acre thoroughly. These dry powders
can be applied in much less time than
the liquid spray.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
