is prepared for it. From the Great
Lakes to the Pacific Ocean Boards OF
Immigration have been formed, full OF
energy and enthusiasm and glad to give
the and enquirer all the
assistance possible.
In Minnesota the renowned Red River
Valley and the newly opened lands OF
the Red Lake Reservation attract the
homeseeker.
In North Dakota there are rolling
hills and rich prairie lands. In Montana
the great Yellowstone Valley, with it's
new irrigation enterprise, the noted
Gallatin Valley and the Bitter Root
| Valley extend arms Of welcome. In
Idaho and Washington the Nez Perez
Reservation lands recently coded, and
the Palouse. Potlach and Yakima Val.
leys east OF the Cascades, are bound to
be rapidly settled. West OF the noun

Populists to force Watson on the ticket.

They Keep Together Oh State Ticket, But
Split on the National.
HELENA, Mon, Sept. l2.-The after
noon session of the Republican state
convention was a most stormy one, and
at one time it looked as though the gold
men would walk out of the hall. Dur
ing a speech by Colonel Sanders, the
leader of the gold men, he started to
leave the hall. but was persuaded to re-
main. During his speech, which was
very caustic and sarcastic and was fire.
quently interrupted with cheers and
Kisses, the widest confusion prevailed.
The trouble arose over the report of the
committee ON permanent organization.
There was a majority report, signed by
l6 members of the committee, and two
minority reports, II signed by o and
the other by 2 members. The majority
report was adopted after several hours
of heated debate. 1t was on the adop-
ton of this report that the
Two Factions Came Near Splitting.
After the adoption of the majority re-
mort the next order of business was the
nomination of governor. j. f.. Kick
ards, the present incumbent, Lieuten-
ant Governor A. c. Botkin and Colonel
Kessler were put forward. 1t required
five ballots to elect. Richards led i'll
the third ballot. Botkin led on the
first, second and fourth and was nomi.
mated on the last by a vote of 2O2 to l7o
for Richards and 4 for Kessler. The
ticket was completed as follows
Lieutenant governor, P. r. Dolman
secretary of state, Louis Rotwitt treas
urer, w. G.. Webster; auditor, A. l..
Love; attorney general, S. G. Murray.

Notes From the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station.

Notes From the Pennsylvania Experiment
Station.
The State Experiment Station has
recently issued the first number of
a series of Bulletins of Information.
It is the intention, in this series of
bulletins, to present to the farmer
in simple and concise form the re-
suits of investigation and the best
available scientific and practical in
formation on the various branches
of farming.
The first bulletin of the series is
entitled Computation of Rations
for Farm Animals" 1t consists of
two parts. The first is a brief ex-
planation of the principles upon
which the computation of rations is
based. Following this, Part 2 shows
by numerous examples how these
principles may be applied to the
daily problems of the farm. Ex-
amples are given of the improve
ment of rations, of the compounding
of rations from given feeding stuffs,
and in particular of the selection of
feeding stuffs with reference to
economy in their purchase and use.
1t shows how an intelligent applica-
tion of the principles of Part i may
enable the farmer, by exchanging
one feed for another or by wisely
proportioning his feeds, to reduce
the cost of his rations and at the
same time improve their quality
and add to the fertility of his farm
The bulletin is being distributed
at all the farmers Institutes held in
the State, and will be mailed free to
any resident of the State applying
for it.
The Station has also issued a re-
vised edition, in more convenient
form, of the spraying calendar for
which there was so large demand
last year.
The annual Reports and quarterly
Bulletins of the Station will be sent
free of charge, ON application, and
inquiries on agricultural subjects
answered so far as possible.

The Presidents Message.

On another pa, will be found a
synopsis of Mr.. Clevelands last
words as Chief Magistrate to the
American people. 1t has the gen
eral tone of one who is willing to
shift the burden of responsibility on
his successor, and outside of his re-
marks on the Cuban, and revenue
questions, it is little more than a
resume of Department reports. His
discussion of the Cuban matter is
temperate, and in harmony with his
previous attitude. 1t may be judged
that his sympathy with that strug-
Cling people is much stronger than
his language and that he feels re-
strained because of his position,
and in order that our Government
may not lose her influence with
Spain in aiding to bring about a
settlement.
Congress at its last session passed
resolutions declaring that our Gov
ernment ought to use its good in
dnenoes in the direction of Cuban in
dependence. The message discloses
that the President has in measure
used his office, but not for independ-
ence. 1t has been more in the line
of having Spain grant autonomy to
Cuba, or in other words conceding
some measure of home rule. II
cannot be known whether this
would be possible or acceptable,
even if this country should find
some means of guaranteeing to Cuba
its execution, as no response has been
received. He treats the deficit
rather lightly and thinks the pre-
sent tariff bill will produce ample
revenue if given a fair trial, thus
implicitly opposing the passage of
any emergency measure. 1t is con-
sonant with himself to say this for
any other view would be to condemn
his own policy.

Schultz Not Yet Tried.

Herman Paul Schultz whose wife
was mysteriously shot at Shohola
some time since, and as it was al
legged by him, is reported to have
been tried in New York for arson
and sentenced to nineteen years i'm
prisonment. This report is denied
here by parties in position to know
the facts. 1t Is said by them he has
not been tried yet although the au-
thorities in New York are desirous
of doing so, but they will be urged
to postpone trial until requisition
papers can be obtained in Pennsyl-
vania and Schultz brought here and
tried for the higher crime of MUIR
der.

vaeeInnatlon compulsory.

Judge Mcpherson, of Dauphin
county handed down a decision re-
Gently in which the court holds,
that the right of any citizens chill
dren to attend the public schools is
not complete until they have COM
piled with the conditions which the
legislature has seen fit to impose.
The act of June IS, 1895 requiring
school directors to demand certifi-
Gates of successful vaccination, as
a condition precedent to admission
to the public schools, is a valid
police regulation, and as such con-
stitutional. If the compulsory edu-
cation act and the law under consi-
deration are in irreconcilable con-
fiict the former statute must give
way, because the Public Health Act
was last enacted and therefore takes
precedence of the other.
