FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Loug-legged fowls are hard to fatten but
those with short legs soon become fat.
If you plant your crop at the village store
you will not find much OF it at harvest
time.
If You have jumping COW fix pickle
barrel for her to Jump into, and she won't
jump long.
Economic time by utilizing the spare
moments. The heaviest loss on the farm
are the lost moments.
The man who does not curry his horse at
night ought to be obliged to sleep with his
working clothes on.
Be easy with growing colt and grow
ing boy. They can be made to do a full
days hard, eXhausting work for awhile,
but it doesn't pay. Overstrained boys
make stunted, round shouldered, listless,
stupid men.
Do not expect to sell eggs enough to buy
the groceries, when the hens are compelled
to roost in the trees with the thermometer
most of the time crowding zero. The best
hen in the universe forgets all about laying
eggs under such circumstances.
Train the motions of the young horse.
With him the walk is the foundation OF all
other uaits, and without beginning at this
foundation all future developments will be
unsatisfactory. A slow walker in the
wagon or pillow is a worse possession than
an INDECENT farm hand.
Give the hens all possible freedom and
there will be less trouble with soft shelled
eggs, for they will get the exercise and pick
up the lime they need. If they have
stopped laying change of food will soon
start them in business again. and always
does a variety of food bring the best results.

SUNFLowER SEED FOR FOWLS.

There is not much of boom at present
for growing sunflowers, but the time will
come when they will be largely grown here,
as they are in Russia, to press into oil
Even now a few should be planted every
year to grow for poultv during winter.
They are excellent for moulting fowls be-
cause of the oil they contain, but when
fowls are not moulting the sunflower seed
should be fed sparingy. so as not to fatten
them. They are better feed for laying
fowls than corn.-Boston Cutvator.

UTAH's SENATORS.
Cannon and Trumbo Seems to Have Best
Chances of Winning,

Salt Lake, Utah, January 14.-lhe
state Legislature is now in session, main
ly occupied with legislation in reference
to the judiciary of the state.
The first ballot for United States Sena-
tors will be taken ON Tuesday, January
81, and in the meantime candidates are
pursuing vigorous campaign. George
@. Cannon, although he. has never yet
formally declared himself a candidate,
has half dozen or more influential men
working in his behalf, Mr.. Cannon has
reffained from announcing what his poll
tics are, but now it is authoritatively
put forth that he is republican, believ-
ing in protection and bounties, and also
in the free coinage of silver.
TIL other leading candidates are Col.
Isaac Trumbo, Arthur Brow., Judge
Bennett, with G. S. Varian and o. j.
Salisbury as dark horses. OF the active
candidates, Arthur Brown has a strong
following and will, in all probability,
lead Bennett. Trumbu's chances, how
ever, appear to be The best.

OVER MIXED SCHOOLS.
State of War in the Capital Of Okla
homa.

Perry, o. T., January IA This city
has been in much turmoil over the ques-
tion Of mixed schools. One hundred col
ored children, accompanied by their par
ents and friends. presented themselves
at the High school building this
morning, and others at other buildings,
and demanded admittance
They claimed this right through re-.
cent decision by a district Judge here,
who decided in one mandamus case that
George Washington Alexander Webster,
ten years old, son of we'll KIN own color
ed citizen. should be admitted to the
third grade class of the public schools.
This morning Webster was among those
who demanded admittance. The county
supervisor recently Of Omaha, Neb., re-
| fused to admit any child, except the one
boy, BIS ordered by the cou t. This caused
| great indignation among the colored per-
sons and several fights occurred.
| Young men and boys of the High
| school armed themselves with stones and
! other implements to drive the c0lored
children out Of the rooIas and from the
school building. One young woman was
knocked senseless. The colored persons
and their children left after making theii
| demand.
Officers brought the children of John
Harp, colored man, to one of the
| schools at noon OH a writ In the abb
sence OF the superintendent, who was in
specting other buildings, the officers de-
mauded of the teachers in each room the
admittance of the children. Each teach
er refused. The children were then taken
in and ordered TO be seated. The teach
ers refused to recognize them as pupils.
1t is said that warrants have been
sworn out for sixteen members of the
school board, and every teacher for con
tempt of court and that they will be ar.
rested. This will be resented by the
white citizens, who say they outnumber
| the negroes.
The laws of Oklahoma provide for
mixed schools unless tho voters decide
otherwise. An election canuot be held
| fer six months.

"BY A PACKED BALLOT"
Sensational Protest Against the Confirma-
ton of Bishop Williams.


Milwaukee, Wis.,, January IA pro
test against the confirmation of Bishop
elect g. Mott Williams of Marquette,
containing charges that will create a SEN
sation in Episcopal circles all over the
country, has been forwarded to Rt, Rev.
John Williams of Connecticut, presiding
bishop of the American Episcopal church,
Bishop Williams, in turn, has caused
copies of tho protest to be forwarded to
all Of the other bishops.
Besides making an attack on Bishop
elect Williams, the protest attacks the
convention at which the election took
place by asserting that it was improperly
constituted, and then makes tho charge
that Bishop WiDiams's election was
brought about by a ''packed ballot ~
The protest is signed by four delegates,
chiefly from the parish of Sault Ste
Marie, who sat in the primary conven-
ton held at Marquette, November IA, 1890.
Beside the charge that the convention
was not properly instituted, the PROTEST
alleges that there is no properly invested
Episcopal fund for northern Michigan
Ii then goes on to say that there is such
ii fund, but that it has BEEN improperly
contributed, with improper conditions
annexed. These improper conditions are
to the effect that the fund is not to stand
unless e. Mott Williams is elected.

Insurgents Defeated But They Set

NO TRAINS RUNNING IN THE AREA

Thousands Flocking Into the Cities
Money Raised for the Suffering Plan

Cuban War.
Havana, January 1.-THE rebel force
under command of Maxine Gomez at
tackled the town Of Bejucal, Is miles
south of Havana. and were repulsed by
the government troops. Before they re-
tired, the insurgents set fire to several
houses on the outskirts of the town. They
also set fire to the railway station but
the flames were extinguished. A passen-
ger train was destroyed. In fighting the
troops lost two killed and ten wound.
ed. The insurgents loss Is unknown
Owing to the disturbed conditi on of the
country through which the railways pass
aud the danger Of attack by the insur-
gents, no trains are being despatched in
any direction. The authorities here have
started q popular su Inscription for the
relief of the plantation people whose crops
were destroyed by the rebels. Sixty-one
thousand dollars was raised the first day.
Captain Gen. Campos subscribed $4,000
to the fund ard other officials also sub
scribed literally. Thousands of people
whose houses have been destroyed are
fioeking into the cities. To avoid GREAT
ing alarm among the people OF Havana,
the newspapers have been notified by the
authorities that they will not be allowed
to issue extras.

THE VENEZUELAN SITUATION.
Specializing Over the Rumors of overtures
by England.

London, january IA The Chronicle
says it has reason to believe that Sir
Augusta Hemming, the new governor Of
British Guiana will have authority to
treat with Venezuela if the latter wishes
He will sail for his post of duty Febru-
airy 26. There will be ample time for
Venezuela to announce whether she de-
sires to resume negotiations in the boun-
Diary matter and whether she will send
delegates to England.
In reply to enquiries at the Venezuelan
consulate here as to the truth OF the above
statement it was stated that the consul
late had no knowledge on the subject. 1t
was added that the question between
Great Britain and Venezuela had only
entered new phase. The statements re-
lative to the resumption of diplomatic re-
lations between tho two countries wer e
rumors.
The Graphic claims to have authority
to deny the report that Great Britain
has offered money to Venezuela in return
for the latter's acceptance of the Schom.
burgk line as marking the boundary be-
tween Venezuela and British Guiana.
