the direction of the wind, and the dot
ted one the direction of rotation. 1t
will be seen that as each set of sails
come into the right position for work
they slow down gently against the
arm which supports them and carry
it with them half way around the cir
Gle. The wind then penetrates under
the free lateral edge of each and swings
them all out backward, so that they
offer no resistance as the arm comes
up into the wind again. AS yet, DR..
Shaw has not yet completed his model,
but he believes that there will be no
serious slamming as the sails suddenly
swing back. Should there be trouble
of this kind, however, he would inter-
pose spring buffers to lessen the noise
and destructive action consequent upon
the battering of his shutters. An auto
matte regulator, not represented here,
throws the sails out of action in a
gale.
Another device, patented by car
penter of Topeka, Kan. also has sails
revolving in a horizontal plane, and is
provided with means for keeping their
edges to the wind when moving against
the latter. Through a vertical shaft
(which conveys the power obtained
down to suitable transmitting mechan-
ism) he runs two horizontal shafts, at
right angles with each other. These
shafts are arranged to rock, or under

ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

PEACH and PLAN trees are less liable
to disease when growing in a poultry

and lawns.
POTATOES are often seriously injured
by being allowed to remain in the sun
too long.

If from any cause it is considered
best to remove large limb. cover the

a SMALL, thrifty tree with vigorous
roots, when set out, will make a good
tree sooner than a large one with
mutilated roots.

the tree and timely remove small
needles, crossing or crooked limbs, and

The Need of Potash.

No doubt it is true that potash is the
great need of the soils where tobacco
culture has been the main crop for
years. The stone fruits. especially the
peach, seem to derive the greatest bene-
fit from its use. This is especially true
when the orchard is on sandy land.
Potash in the form of hard wood, fresh
ashes, or liberal application of kainit
or other potash salts. aids materially in
keeping the trees in such healthy con-
dition that they are undoubtedly less
liable to be attacked by the yellows, or
other diseases of similar character.

True Democratic Policy.

There is no lodging the fact that
any policy, no matter by what name it
is known, that closes the factories of
the country, that destroys our great
industries, that robs the laborer of en-
ployment and fills the country with a
vast army of unemployed men and
women who have no means of liveli-
hood, that robs the farmer of his mar
ket, that robs the people of confidence,
that disturbs business and fills the peo-
pie with want, misery and despair, is
an un-American and unpatriotic policy.

over for its success in every line of
fruit culture, both north and south,
east and west, the amount of land oc-
cupied by that industry is insignifi-
cant. 1t will need no prophet to fore
tell that in the years to come much
larger area in this country is to be de-
voted to fruit. But you ask: What are
we to do with it2 My reply is, that in
the first place the population is in
creasing largely, and this will be one
of the avenues of consumption; in the
second place, our people will be led to
consume much larger quantities as
prices get within their reach; in the
third place, we will adopt methods of
canning and preserving not now known
or not now practiced, by which our
fruits can be consumed in every coun-
try in the world. At present the
United States is supplied with dried
fruits, such as raisins, figs, currants,
prunes, largely from other countries.
We are also importing largely lemons,
oranges, pineapples, bananas and other
tropical fruits

In spite of the fact that the duties on

one-half by the provisions of the new
tariff, the manufacturers have formed
a trust. The trust has already adj

EACH TOOK ONE.
Result of the Ball Games Saturday
and Sunday.

Saturdays ball game resulted in
favor of Mankato by score of ten to
two. The Winona boys seemed to be
demoralized, and Page did some very
poor playing. Frank Yeorg umpired
Saturday and Sundays games in an
impartial and satisfactory manner.
In yesterdays game the result was
different. The Winona club won by a
score of three to one. The game was
finely played one and would prob
ably have been won by the Mankato
club had not an error made by Noyes
let IN three scores for the visitors.
Two men were on bases and the bat
ter sent the ball toward Noyes, who
stopped it but could not hold it. Be-
fore he could get it the batter had
nearly reached first, and in the excite
ment of the moment he threw wild to
first, over his head. Two men got in
and one on third, who subsequently
came IN.
Hopkins saved the game for his side
by phenomenal side catch, with the
bases full of men.
Noyes and Jones we're the battery
for Mankato, and Johnson and Dixon
for Winona. Five hits were made off
of Noyes, and nine off of Johnson.
The game was exciting throughout,
and a large crowd was present.

WILL REORGANIZE.
The Capital Stock of the rlapleton
Bank to Be Increased.

The capital stock of the Mapleton
bank is to be increased from 5000
to $40, 900, and the heavier depositors
and the leading business men are to
take stock in the new concern, which
will be organized under the state
laws. The old bank closed it's doors
Monday for the few days interim,
and the new bank will start out in
the new brick block, and will be as
promising an institution as any other
live town ever had. The business
men are to be congratulated on the
prospect of the increased facilities.
A telegram from our Mapleton cor
respondent says that the old bank
closed temporarily this morning, will
be reorganized and opened in a short
time. The bank undertook to carry
the business men who built the new
block there until they could raise a
loan on the building, and this, with
slow collections, has made the change
desirable. The depositors in the old
bank will be paid IN full, and our cor
respondent wires that no uneasiness
is felt by any one there.

CHANGED THE DAY.
Populists to Have the Legislative

Offices, the Democrats the Rest.
The Populist county committee has
decided to change the day for holding
the Popullst county nominating con-
vention from Aug. Doth to Sept. 6th,
at HOO O'Clock at Union hall. 1t was
thought best to have the convention
follow the Democratic convention
rather than come on the same day, in
order to see that the Democrats carry
out their part of the deal whereby
fusion is again to be brought ABOUT in
this,cOunty.
From a well informed Democratic
source, we learn that the Democrats
are to have the county offices on the
fusion ticket, and the Populists the
legislative offices. This has been ar
ranged by the leaders. Two years
ago, the Populists endorsed some
Republicans and some Democrats, but
they will be hand in glove with the
Democrats this year. AS they only

is hard to see how the fusionists hope
to win in the face of 1850 Republi-
can majority.
The slate for the Democrats as
marked out is believed to be as fol-
lows: Auditor, l.. o. Randall; trea-
surer, G. H. Dietz; register of deeds,
H. G. Akers; judge of probate, W. B..
Torrey: clerk of district court, w. B.
Davies; county attorney, Byron

county superintendent, Thos. j..
Jones; surveyor, j. R. Thompson;
coroner. James Shoemaker. 1t may
be that Mr.. Davies is not candidate,
but it has come to us that he is to
have the nomination if he wants it.
Byron Hughes states that he is not a
candidate. but there are indications
pointing the other way.

THE ARMENIAN RALLY.
Honey Raised at Sundays Meet
ing-Rev. nanavian'S Address.


Rev. G.. M. Manavian, of Chicago
addressed very large audience Sun
day at the Baptist church. He
spoke on the present condition of Ar.
menia. He said that the Armenian
nation is 1900 years old and has sur.
vived the great nations of the Orient.
The Armenians were converted
into the Christian faith in the year
276, when King Deridates was bap-
tised by St. Gregory.
The history of Armenia has been a
history of martyrdom and religious
persecution. They were first perse-
cuted by the Zoroastarians of Persia,
then by the Saracens and Turks.
The causes of the present trouble
are: l. The ever increasing poverty
of the country. The annual exports
of the country are $40, 100000 worth of
raw material, and the imports are
SS6,000,00O worth. The country is
getting poorer every year at the rate
of $40, 100000. This has increased the
burden of the taxpayers. 2. The pol
icy of the Turkish government to
weaken the Christian subjects when
they cannot strengthen and increase
the ever decreasing and declining
race Of the Turks. To accomplish
this, they have inaugurated the sys-
tenn Of massacres and general robbery
to which Christian subjects have
always been subjected. 3. The pro-
gressive tendency of the Armenians
has also been another cause of alarm
for the Turks The Armenians are
receiving European and American in
fiuence through the missionaries, edu-
cational institutions and European
and American literature. The Turks
are bound to suppress this progress OF
theArmenians when they cannot force
their own people to make advances in
civilization.
The extent of the present troubles
is beyond measure. The Turkish
government at first tried to check al
tendency to progress and liberal ideas
by imprisoning the flower of the Ar.
menian youth. But later massacres
have been the most fatal blows that
the Armenians have ever sustained
Over one hundred thousand Armen'
ians have been massacred, and more
than 100000 Armenians are now de-
pendent upon the charity of the phil
anthropic hearts of America and
Europe. The speaker made an appeal
in behalf of his suffering and starving
people, thousands of whom have died
from restitution and starvation.
A contribution of $50 was received,
which was turned over to Mrs. DR.
James, who is chairman of the Man.
kato Relief committee. She has
promised to receive all contributions
for the Armenians' relief.'
Friends are requested to send OF
take their contributions to Mrs. DR..
James, 526 South Second street. Ten
cents will keep a man alive for whole
week, so even children can help the
poor Armerians,

Death on u Culm Bank.

Two men made CHASTITY discovery at
the culm pile of the Maltby breaker,
near Wilkesbarre, on Monday. Near
the culm pile they came upon the de-
composed body of man. The body
was poorly clad, pair of blue overalls,
worn out lace shoes and a weather beaten
coat and vest comprising the dead man 5
outfit. In the inside pocket of the coat
was found the following letter, dated
September 30 last; ITO Marx Long, ESQ.
Sir: The bearer of this is John Duley.
He lives in Wlikesbarre township. He
i, sick and has no friends in this cour-
try and he wants to be sent to the poor
house for treatment. Isaas Ford, Justice
of the peace
From the letter it would seem that
Duleyappearcd TO a lire Ford for assis =
tance and the latter gave him the above
letter. referring him to Poor Director
Marx Long. The fact that Duley re-
tanned possession Of the letter is evidence
that he never called upon Mr.. Long,
but went to Maltby instead. Having
no place to go for shelter, he probably
lay on the culm pile, which is burning,
and either died from exhaustion or was
suffocated by sulphurous fums.
From the state of decomposition the
body had reached it must have lain
where it was found at least two weeks
The flesh had about all fallen from the
limbs and the face was terribly discolor-
ed. The nationality of the man is
either Hungarian or Polish.
