THE PIG.

The essentials in the prevention of hog cholera are good food, pure water and clean, dry quarters.
 Take good care that the pigs have a sufficient supply of salt, ashes and char coal; keep it in a box under shelter, where they can help themselves, and never let the supply entirely run out There is no danger of their eating too much, for their own cravings will meas ure that.
 Pig raising Is almost necessity where cows are kept and there is plenty or skinned milk. Pigs cannot be kept on this only, but it is great help, and it would often be a question what to do with the milk if there were no pigs to drink it up. The-calves and poultry would not suffice unless the dairy were small and the feeders many.

Miss Cousins spoke pa- of her neglect by Miss An thony, of whom she said she had been a loyal supporter and defender.

Elderly American Lady Doesn't Think
 Much of Our Representatives.
 It is hot August day. An elderly lady blowing like small tugboat, puffs into the consulate and casts an- chor near the consular desk. The elderly lady is evidently ''real mad," and although am innocent of having offended her, she looks at me with great severity.
 "Can you tell me-" she asks, suspi. ciously, eff in going from Geneva to Paris tonight my baggage will be ex- arnined again by those stupid custom house officers?"
 Presumably it will. madam" re- ply.
 Well it's a shame" observed the lady, majestically, land if you are over here representing the American people you ought to have it stopped. l have had my baggage examined four times since left Baden Baden. Last night at the Italian frontier they threatened to boil my clothes because l had been to Hamburg, where there is said to be cholera.

 "Alonzo," said I, in business-like tones, to my gifted secretary, make note of this affair and report it at once."
 AlonZo had no idea to whom he was to make his report, but he took copious notes, and the lady went away pres ently in better frame of mind.

MILwAUKEE's BIG BOYCOTT.
The Whole City Fighting tho Street Rail-
 way Monopoly.


 MILWAUKEE. May 25.-The procla- nation of Mayor Ranschen berger call ing on business men to unite to bring about an end of the street rail- way boycott is the latest develop ment in an almost unheard of war between the public and a corpora tion. The Milwaukee Electric Rail- way Co. controls all of the car liues. It has been a political power and has succeeded in operating its cars in spite of its $50 conductors and motor- men, who struck about three weeks ago, but now it is confronted by boycott which bids fair, unless checked, to cost it very dear and also to damage the business interests of the city most seriously. The cars are running empty at dead loss, and anybody who rides in them comes under the ban of the general and bitter boycott. The strikers are running 'busses beside the car lines and get all the business. Practically the whole city is fighting the street railway.

 Few people have suffered more from pain No. 23l8 Second Avenue, New York City. For several years she was so afflicted with this distressing malady that she was hardly able to get around, and could do little to carc for her children which made her suffer- ing all the harder to bear. Her husband, Charles Newell, who is well-known New York optician, tried in every way to ind remedy for his wife, but no medicine seemed to have the power to remove her pain.
 Mrs. Glynr, Q sister of Mrs. Newell, is g professional nurse, and was familiar with the symptoms of her sisters sickness. Mrs. Newell was away on visit when reporter at No. 4l8 East One-hundred and.twentieth Street, told tho story of her sisters re- covery.
 A doctor was called when Mrs. Newel's condition became serious and he prescribed small pink pills which, in short time, re- cine has done. 'sAfter awhile," Mrs. Glynn told the reporter, ''we learned that the medi- cine the physician was giving my sister was nothing more than Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People. Knowing by experience how excellent a remedy these pills were, Mrs. Newell bought some at drug store and continued taking them. The effect was most gratifying, for in six months my sister was perfectly well and the pain in her back was nothing more than an unpleasant mem ory. Both she and have recommended the Pink Pills to other people, who have not failed to find them all that is claimed. All doctors my sister had been treated by. be- fore taking the pills, had done her no ap- parent good"
 Pink Pills are sold in boxes (never in loose form, by the dozen or hundred, at 50 cents box or six boxes for $2.5O, and may be had Williams Medicine Company. Schenectady, N. Y.

The in. iured are Mrs. Ella Malm, a3 years old, burned about the hands, arms and face: will recover; Ellen Malm, eight years old, severely burned about head and body; will probably die.

She lighted gasoline stove. when the reservoir, which holds the supply of oil, exploded, throwing the burning fluid about the rooms. Before the sleeping mem- bers of the family could be taken out, or even warned, they were shut in by flames and burned almost to a crisp. When the explosion occurred Mrs. Malm rushed frantically from the dwelling and screamed for help. She then returned to the house, soon reap bearing with her three-year-old child in her arms Pieces of burning cloth. ing still adhered to the burned flesh of the babe and it died shortly afterward. The screams of the mother had by this time brought the neighbors to the scene The fire department was sum- moned and the tiremen rushed into the rooms and removed the inmates, while water was thrown upon the flames. The mothers burns were attended to by the doctors and it was found that they were comparatively slight. She was removed to the home of friends

GEN. FAIRCHIID. Decemb Der, 20, 1881. His father settled in Madison, Wis, in lS46, and young Fairchild, with others, drove across the plains upon the dis covery of gold there. He was a miner from the age of IS to 26, but failed to make fortune. At the outbreak of the war Mr. Fairchild obtained cap. taincy in the First Wisconsin. At Bull Run his command constituted part of the ''iron brigade" and at Antietam his regiment so signalized itself that the loss of half of it's members paid tine penalty of fame. Fairchild led a charge up Seminary hill at Gettysburg and lost his right arm. He was made brigadier-general for his gal: lantry, and shortly after was elected secretary of state for Wisconsin. Gen. Fairchild was governor of Wisconsin six consecutive terms. For six years, from 1872, he was United States consul at Liverpool, and for two years there- after consul-general at Paris. Next he was United States minister to Spain, and resigned in 1882. When President Cleveland vetoed the dependent pen- Sioh oiiA ouriuk HIS uEsG duLululSITd- tion, Gen. Fairchild attracted atten- tion by speech in which he used the words, "Palsied be the hand of him who vetoed the dependent pension bill" In 1886 he was elected command er-in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic, and won admiration by his prompt action in aid of the Charleston earthquake sufferers

THREE MURDERED.
A Family Found Butchered In Douglas
 County, Mo.

Family round Butchereu In DOugkao
 County, Mo.
 AVA, Mo, May 25.-When neigh bors went to the house of Farmer E. E. Sawyer, living a mile east of here, Saturday, they found that the old man and his wife and grown son had all been murdered. The old mans skull was crushed, the old woman's body was covered with bruises and the sons throat was cut. The family came to this county from Linn county, Ia., last November, and traded property for the place on which they were killed. They were poor, their only possible wealth consisting of good team of horses and wagon and their scanty household furniture, and the object of the murder is complete mystery.
 The excitement over the murder is at fever heat, and growing hotter as the crowds grow larger. Suspicion has fallen upon Ed w. Perry, who moved here from Belleville. Kan, about year ago. He has been doing noth- ing since but loafing around. He has a cousin, Mrs William Yost, living three miles from the scene of the mur- der. Last Monday he was told to leave there, as they were too poor to keep him any longer. Since then he has been staying with the Sawyer family. He was seen going from Ava with young Sawyer late Wednesday even- ing. No one has seen him since until he was arrested at the Yost residence yesterday. If Perry is identified as the man who disposed of the team at Springfield he will be brought back here for preliminary examination. If he is. there is no telling what may happen, as excitement is running very hiph
