Capture by Hand Of Big Fish.

James Gatewood of Coral Hill had a
thrilling experience few days ago,
which came near costing him his life.
Just after the high rise in Beaver creek
Mr.. Gatewood went down in his bottoms
to ascertain how much damage had been
done. In crossing small lagoon. which
the high water had left, he noticed what
he first supposed to- be dead hog, but
which proved on closer examination 10
be a huge fish of the buffalo tribe. MIR.
Gatewood quietly slipped his hands into
the fsh's gills and was in the act of
drawing it out when it gave a flounce
and threw Mr.. Gatewood in the water
up to his chin. At this moment Mr..
Gatewood would have gladly released his
hold on the fish, but his hand had be-
come fastened. Then the fun began, and
for one hour Mr.. Gatewood was com
PEELED to follow his prize Several times
he was strangled and on the point of Civ
ing up for gone, but he finally managed
to land the fish, which weighed i32
pounds. This is one of the largest fish
ever caught out of any creek in this coun-
ty, and Mr.. Gatewood says if he has to
be the fisherman it will be the last one.

The March Of Science.

A money changers Office in Marseilles

precaution to bring with them steel
saw of the newest construction, worked
by handy little petroleum gas engine.
Aided by these achievements of their

rious SC cntists found little difficulty in
overcoming the resistance offered by the
stout iron walls of the ney-changer's

with the refined appliance brought to
bear upon it, and promptly yielded up its
contents, consisting of gold and notes to
the value of 5000. Thus was science jus

According to Gains account of the af-

They had proceeded hardly more than
mile when, without warning. a full

ground.

Hay for Cows ut Pasture.

The first pasture is always very thin
and poor as regards nutrition. Cows
like It, but they need something more
than grass to keep them in good condi-
ton aud maintain their milk flow 1t
was always our practice to feed little
hay each morning, and also a little
grain meal 20 cows az long as they
would take it. With the grain ration
this usually lasted till the 10th of June.
The hay would be refused earlier than
this. or be eaten in very small quaint
in the stable with no other food. This
practice avoids all danger of the COW
filling herself too full of green clover,
and thus ihjuring herself. Hay for this
purpose may be needed when cows are
turned on fresh clover as late as June.
when the clover is sweeter and richer,
and the cows will eat more greedily of
it than they will any time in the month

A reporter called, on Wednesday
evening, May s, 1895, at the resi-
dence of Mr.. William McMahon,
No. 1858 Pearl street. Brooklyn
Village (Cleveland), O., to learn,
If possible the cause of the notice
able Improvement in his physical
condition over that of year ago,
when he was a sufferer from
indigestion and various organic
disorders. "You see," began MIR.
Mcmahon, ''to start with, my work
that of setting type at the case
allows me little chance for bodily
exercise, and Is altogether too
combining for anybody who is in the
least subject to indigestion or
dyspepsia. Perhaps not more SO
than many another mechanic or
artisan who Is constantly indoors
and under severe mental strain,
while the physical development is
sadly in need of something to keep
it in trim. Well, that has been my
complaint for years, and some
months ago l became very bilious,
and constipation made life misera-
BILE for me at times. Then it took
a seat in my LIVER, which became
noticeably inactive, and became
alarmed about it. The first thing
I turned my attention to was to
secure liver regulator which,
however, failed to regulate; next
sought relief in liver pills. which
so panied and griped me that the
cure was, I thought, worse than
the disease. The next thing did
was to throw away the whole
shooting MATCH and resolve to
take no more proprietary medicines.
However, on hearing my tale of
woe. one day, at the Office, fellow
workman offered me small Tabule
-Ripans, he called it-which, he
said, he would guarantee to act
on the liver took it under
protest, expecting to be doubled
up in about fifteen minutes with
the 'gripes.' But was agreeably
surprised in it's action. 1t was
very gentle, and resolved to try a
box. Since then I have gradually
noted an entire change in the
working Of my system, and think
that Ripans Tabules are the best
remedy for liver and stomach
troubles this side of anywhere.
They are really a substitute for
physical exercise. Have one before
you go?" And Mr.. Mcmahon

Dat Meal for Poultry.

Oats are cheap and can be procured in
the ground condition or in the whole
grains: They are most serviceable when
refuse. The better plan of f2eding
ground oats is to sift them, using the
finer portions for chicks and the coarser
parts for grown stock. But in feeding
such materials some care is necessary
or damage will be done in causing the
crops to become bound, and while the
oatmeal is very nutritious something
else must be given with the coarse ma

The month of April was generally so
cold and the season so late that many
of the early crops usually planted oc
sown in that month have been postponed
until May. All these should be got in
the ground as early as possible. We
have grown good parsnips, carrots and
onions in seasons like the present when
the planting has been deferred until
May. 70 is better. however, with the
onion crop to SOW the seed in Il small,
rich hot bed very thickly. where it will
grow to sufficient size to transplant after
the ground has been thoroughly warmed.
Onions managed thus suffer scarcely
any check from transplanting, and are
much more easily kept free from weeds
than if the seed is planted early in the
open ground, where it necessarily makes
only very slow growth for several weeks,
and is in constant danger, of being
smothered by weeds which thrive better
in cold, wet weather than any cultivated
crop can do.

VIRGINIA LEAGUE.
THE CLEVELAND GENIE NNIAL
Cleveland Touched the Button and NC
kinIeY Made the Speech.

Cleveland, o., July 22.-Maj. McKin-
lev and Senator Sherman spoke at the
Centennial exercises to-day. After re-
ferring to the progress of Cleveland,
Mai. Mckinley said in substances:
''All this has been accomplished in
q century. Who were those who be-
gan the work from which such great
things have arisen and whence came
they? Such questions are natural on
such day. When the surveying band
of fifty reached the mouth of the
Cuyahoga, they found here the advan-
tages which made them favor the spot,
founding of city. They were men
of courage, endurance, strong and
pure character and determined of pur
pose. Though undergoing the most
rigid hardship they did not forget the
Fourth of July and celebrated the
birthday of the nation by finging to
the breeze of their bark the glorious
flag of our nation with her thirteen
stars and stripes. No man ever strug-
gled harder to support the very prin-
ciple for which that flag stands. No
man anywhere was better calculated
to prosper in any community than the
glorious pioneer. He left his impress
everywhere; the impress of the sturdy,
honest man, who feared God and loved
liberty. AS the morning light is the
monarch of the hills, the pioneer is the
monarch of our civilization. Let me
commend to you the example of the
fathers. Tt is better than riches and
vastly better than monarchy. God
grant that the love of religious liberty,
jealous care for the public credit, pro
bity and honest strength, loyalty to
free institutions and indomitable cour-
age may be as dear to the people of
this and succeeding generations as it
was to them"
Senator Sherman also spoke briefly.
After the conclusion of the exercises
at the armory the big procession was
formed. In carriages were Mckinley,
Senator Sherman, Senator Hawley and
Gov. Coffin. of Connecticut. The pro-
cession was nearly two hours passing

At eight o'clock this evening the
Centennial arch in the public square
was illuminated, the electric current
! being turned on by Mr.. Cleveland at
Buzzard's Bay.
