SOUND MONEY WINS.
DETROIT, Mich, April 29. = Sound
money won a complete victory when the
Michigan Democratic state convention
adjourned tonight on the questions
which were most closely contested. This
victory was accomplished by the narrow
margin of fifty eight out of a total or
some 500 votes. The administration men
obtained the organization. adopted their
resolution entire and elected all their
candidates for delegates-at-large and
alternates. The free-silver contingent
took their defeat hard, but there is no
anticipation of any bolts.
After tremendous amount of lobby
ing throughout the morning, the Demo-
cratic state convention was called to or

Dakota, has just completed Tie publica-
ton OF the Baptist Annual for 1895. 1t

complished and the denomina' ion is in
splendid condition, both spiritually and

Lead City, valued at ~, $40, aud the other

several localities preparations are in pro-
gress to furnish shelter for homeless
1lOcks. Three new ministers have been
ordained. EvangeIistic work has been
done on many fields with vary ing success.
In several localities the number OF addi-
tons to the churches has been large. The

Edison Makes Further Experiment
With the X Rays.
A New York dispatch says: Another
illustration of tile marvellous power of the
rays has just taken place in the Ellison
laboratory ID Orange. A young girl OF
Newark received i; severe blow on the
head three years ago, which, acting OH
the optic nerves, caused absolute and total
blindness. The girl was placed under
the rays, but, although her head was
completely permeatcd by the rays. no
special lesion could be located. The head
was so transparent while the rays were
playing on it that Mr.. Edison placed his
own hand On the opposite side Of 1t and
distinctly saw the bone, and their articu-
lation. Then he thought he would try
the effect of the rays directly on the
eyes. The girl instantly saw light Tor
the first time IN three years. She was
able 10 tell the different shades VI objects
held betose her eyes willie suffused with
the rays and described them accurately.
1t the case OF a disc OF brass she even was
able to tell the color, saying it was yell
low. The experiment was considered
great success.

Two Indian Players Beaten to Death
with Bats in Texas.
For some time the indians of Red
River and Eagle counties, Choctaw Ma
ton, have been playing match games Of
bail, and the rivalry between them be-
came so intense that bad blood was en-
gendered. At Goodwaier the antagonism
between the two counties eliminated in a
general fight, in which the butt end OF
their bats was freely used and men were
knocked down all over the ball ground,
twenty or thirty being more or less in
jured. Will Goings had his skull crushed
and died in a short time. Eastman Bat
tiste received injuries from which he
afterward died. John Billy was seriously
injured. Sheriff HutsOn of Eagle County,
was so badly injured that 1t is said he can
not possibly recover. No arrests will fol-
low, as the Indians have no law to punish
a man for killing another in u ball game.
No firearms or knives were used.

Losing Many Hogs.

Hog cholera is raging in Clay County
IN its most destructive form. Every fall
the disease makes its appearance and con-
tinues to do great havoc among the swine
herds during the winter. This county is
the banner hog county of the state and
yet every year half the number OF hogs
raised die before it is time to market
them. The disease invariably attacks fat
hogs which are being made ready for
market. A hog once taken sick rarely
gets well. John Airth, NJ. r. G. v. S., OF
Sioux City, probably the best authority
on the question OF hog cholera, writes a
friend as. follows: There is no cure for
the disease. Sick hogs should be removed
away from the healthy ones and given the
following prescription. Sulphate of cop
per, ten grains; charcoal, three brahms;
mix and make one powder. This powder
is equal to one dose and should be given
twice day to sick hogs in soft feed. Dis
infect all the yards with chloride Of
lime"

Congress- Action in Regard to Reve.
hue Measures Much in Doubt.
II IS not probable that the House at tile
coming session Of Congress, which begins
next Monday, can dispose of the proposed
legislation which encumbers its calendars.
Little is usually accomplished at the
short session beyond the passage of the
regular supply bills. Still the House.,
with its instrumentalities for the expedi-
ton of business, can accomplish
great deal in brief time. The
question of legislation for additional
revenues for the Government will
depend ON the Senate, to which body the
House sent the Dingley bill almost year
ago. Should it be impossible, or he
deemed inexpedient to press that measure
through the Senate, there is possibility
that the proposal to increase the revenues
by an additional tax on beer or the impo-
sltion of duty on tea, coffee, etc., may
take tangible form, and il so, such legis-
la, on must originate, under the constitu-
ti.n, in the lower branch of Congress.
