her nursery about with her, she is q
very ropulsive looking object. Single

cope with the important question Of
placing eggs where they will DO most

They had gone about nine miles

of ducks on the pond. Mr. Smith
had crawled through the fence and
his companion was following him,
trailing his gun, when the hammer of
the weapon caught on the wire just
enough to raise it and let it fall
again, causing discharge. The

Were we ever richer than we are now?
Could we ever raise more corn or

thousand hills? Were our mines ever

spectators and lobbyists control our
political parties, the parties control
congress and the administration, and,
taking advantage of the patriotic i'm
pulse of the people, government is
made an instrument of plumber to en-
rich plutocracy. That is all that is
matter. The only danger to the ma
tional credit is the manipulation OF
these same lobbyists and spectators.

Steady Contraction.

We have before US as we write the

January 1st, 1894, and March 1st 1896.

of money in circulation Jan. 1, 1894,
was 81, 724, OILS, s6G; March /, 1896, ST.
52S, 742,O 57. Net contraction between
two dates, $500, 296, 200. Net decrease
of money in circulation during the
month of February 1896, $50, 97S, $50
1t must be remembered, also, that
while this murderous contraction was
taking place, population has increas-
ed at least two million souls and the
public debt has been enlarged over a
quarter of billion dollars. Was
there ever greater outrage perpe-
trated upon suffering people? The
four chief criminals in this ghoulish
deed are Cleveland, Carlisle, John

any one of their allies, can command

Food, undigested, is poison. Digest
Lit is life and strength. Millions of
us suffer from indigestion, but we often
don't know it. We think it is some
thing else. Even doctors often mis-
take the symptoms.
Pale, thin people, who are overwork-
ed, who need strength, who seem in
want of proper food, should take Sha-
ker Digestive Cordial. 1t is astonish-
ing what food will do, when properly
digested.
1t will make you strong, revive you,
refresh you, sustain you, make you fat,
restore your color, make muscle, brain
fibre, courage, endurance, energy; in
creases your power to throw off dis
ease and keep you healthy and happy.
Indigestion does just the opposite,
but indigestion can be cured and pre-
vented with Shaker Digestive Cordial.

Akron, o., March 3t.-The authors

murdered the Stone family Saturday
night. Three years ago Stone was in
strumental in sending Strong to the
penitentiary for horse stealing, and at
that time StroLg vowed vengeance on
Stone and his family. Strong was re-
leased recently, but has not been seen
near the scene of the crime. All the in
iured except Stillson, the nephew, will
recover. Stillson's death is mo-
mentarily expected.
Strong was arrested Monday after
noon and formally charged with the
crime. Tie arrest took place at Ra-
VIENNA. lie denies the charge and
claims he can prove an alib. AT the
house of his sister, where he claims to
have spent Saturday night. All over
coat and pair of pants were found
that had just been washed and were
not yet dry. The sister said they got
wet in rain last Thursday. Strong
has served two terms in the peniten-
tiary for stealing.
Strong was brought here i'll charge

shrlnkage in Stock.

The National Stockm In says: Some
interesting things are shown by the
figures issued by the department of
agriculture from year to year con-
corning farm animals, and while there
is no pretense that these figures are
accurate in detail, it is certain that
they approximate to the truth in a
general way. For u number of years
these reports were of highly en-
couraging character, showing not
only steady increase in numbers of
all kinds of stock, as might be expect
ed in a growing country, but also an
almost equally steady increase in val
ue. For some years past, however,
the tenor of the reports has been of
an entirely different nature. 1t has
been shrinkage-sh rinkage, right
along in nearly all kinds of stock !;
shrinkage in numbers and nearly al
ways decline in value. The aggre
gate of these shrinkages from 1890 to
1896 shows up as follows: In hogs,
S57, 900 900; in sheep, $50, 100000; in
cattle, $50, 900, 900; in horses, s47s, 000,-
900; in mules, $79,00O,O 900; in all about
500, 100000, or 80 per cent. This
would be about $40 per head for every
man, woman and child in the coun-
try. or if divided among the farming
population, where the bulk of the
loss rests, it will be seen that the
shrinkage has u broad financial signif-
icance. Has the end Of this long
lane been reached? Belief that the
turn was just at hand has been in
dulged in so frequently and to so lit
tie purpose for two or three years past
that all have become slow to hazard
any guesses along this line.

Official Paper of County.
The Crime of the Gold Standard,

Money may be increased or dimin.'
ished in value without the people rec
ognizing, because money is named in
dollars, and the term dollars is used
in measuring the value of products.
commodities and labor. To explain
the fact that it takes more commodi-
ties to get dollars now than it has
taken heretofore, the dollar owners
say the value of commodities has fall.
len, when the truth is the value OF
dollars has risen. The man who buys
two bushels of wheat for dollar gets
twice as much of real value for his
dollar as did the man who only q few
years ago got only one bushel of
wheat for dollar. The value of the
dollar has been doubled by Iaw-the
law that made the gold dollar the
unit of value, and excluded silver
from the minis. This law doubled
the wealth of the dollar owners, and
halved the wealth of the labor and
property owners.
The enormity of this crime can
scarcely be realized 1t is the same
in effect as to pass law that every
man who has two horses to sell
ehall give one of them to the man
who has dollars with which to buy:
that every man who has two COWS to
sell shall give one of them to the man
who has dollars with which to buy
COWS; that every man who has O hun.
dred bushels of wheat to sell shall
give fifty bushels to the man who has
dollars with Which to buy wheat; that
every man who has two bales of cot
ton to sell shall give one bale to the
man who has dollars with which
to buy cotton,

ously, is the effect of adopting the
British gold standard in the United
States, and we deny any one by any
process of reasoning known to logic,
or by any statement of facts, to
show to the contrary.
Had this been required of the peo-
pie by the terms of the law, there
would have been open rebellion, but
since the same thing is done by
doubling the value of the dollar, the
people cheerfully comply, "stick to
the parties" that did it, and say by
their votes it was the right thing to
do, and authorize the bosses to s'do il
