This was trying 1t on the dog" with
worse than vengeance. The apparat-
us was prepared with great deal of
care In order that there might be no
torture inflicted. and II works SO well
that a dogs death is painless. The af-
fair consists of two primary wires.
which run direct from dynamo to the
electrocution chamber. arranged in the
old dog pound. The current Is an alter
mating one of one-hundred voHs. One
wire is put in series with ten 16-can-
die power. 104-volt incandescent
lamps.
Leading from these lamps Is a wire
direct to a plate of iron In the center
OF the floor. This is the scene Of the
tragedy. a veritable trap door into the
dog world to come. The dog that
steps on that innocent looking plate
is railroaded into eternity In less time
than 1t takes to write about 1t. The
other primary wire leading from the
dynamo goes through two pole switch
from which leads a wire that Is con-
nected with muzzle Of ordinary de-
sign. A sponge is inserted. which
when moistened prevents combustion.
The victim does not seem to sniff
his danger from afar. He usually trots
meekly to his death. casting a kindly
look at his slayer. There is dash Of
pathos. to the observer. but to the
pound keeper sentiment is unknown.
The muzzle is hurriedly affixed and the
death dealing current does its work
When everything is in order hundreds
OF dogs will be electrocuted every day.
The Humane Society has not filed any
protest. and thus South Omaha has
saved its dog-goned reputation.

But Jo had sown the seed and the
look OF confidence In her great brown
eyes told that she anticipated satis-
factory harvest. The general walked
toward the stable thinking 1t passing
strange that JOS repeated vision com
cided SO exactly with his own, for ne
himself had thrice been In dreamland
TO see that dashing young fellow from
the north ride the magnificent olacK
flly to victory. There was another sur
prise in store for him when he came
upon Tom rubbing the satin coat OF
the clcan-limbed mare and talking to
her as though she comprehended every
word and sentiment.
"You'se gwinter get dat cup suan,
Miss Flash kase i done dream free

The handsome old general threw back
his shoulders and knitted his brows as
he turned away. thinking he had not
been seen by the industrious rubber
and failing to note the roll Of the cum
ming eyes that followed him.
Superstition may have run out In the
blood OF the Paytons but here was one
of the older generation in troubled
doubt. 1t was more than his common
sense could accept and everybody
about the place seemed to be dreaming
the same thing as mere coincidence.
He would not go back Of the strange
fact in search OF Its inspiration for
that would confess a weakness he
would not admit: but 1t was forced
upon him as an Irresistible conviction
that unless Frank Fielder was astride
of Flash. the local race of the year
and the coveted cup would go to Maj.
Slickton. And the thought OF this
was not to be endured. To the gen.
eral the major was an upstart, an
unworthy rival. man OF questionable
reputation on the turf and utterly un-
principled where his interests were
st stake. Besides this animus OF dis
like the general was moved by the
consideration that he had been shrewd-
ly goaded into posting $4,000 on the
outcome of the race and to lose 1t
meant disaster to the prospects Of 10
as an heiress. 1t was this thought
that had most troubled the proud old
Kentuckian, and before he slept that
night he had written Frank to come at
once.
The surprise OF that young gentle
man was not diminished by the hos
pitable welcome that he received. bu,
almos. became panic when he wac
told by Jo that he must ride for the
cup and win 1t as the one sure way OF
overcoming personal objection to an
event which was the crowning hope OF
his life.
Fielder was thoroughbred Ameri-
can. He had nerve, pluck. quick per-
ceptions and an iron will. 'Jo." he
answered. I'll take the chance and
II fail you know that I'll be far the

The Rirht View.

1t seems to US that the effort that is
being made in this country to have our
government adopt an aggressive policy
towards Turkey and demand immediate
settlement for the damage done American
mission houses in Asia Minor, is
a mistake A policy of that kind
would be of no benefit to the Armenians
1t might result in a war, and then the
Armenians would be much worse off than
they are now. In fact it is pretty GER
tain that it would result in war, because
Russia does not intend to permit the po-
litical situation in Turkey to be changed
by outside influences until England
agrees to the opening of the Bosphorus
to the worlds warships and trading YES
sells, and to the preservation of at least
the nominal sovereignty Of the sultan
Miss Clara Barton, of the Red Cross
society, who has been doing such effect
i've work among the suffering Armenians,
makes the point that it would be far
better for those who are urging the ag-
gressive policy against the sultan's gov
eminent. to devote their efforts to the
raising of funds for the relief of the Ar
menians.
Winter is approaching and the Arme-
mans are without food and clothing I'M
less Christian people, the world over, pro-
vide for their needs, their sufferings will
be very great. The claims for damages
to property of American missionaries can
wait but the needs of the Armenians are
imperative and urgent
The position taken by Miss Barton. is
the correct one. The Armenians should
not be exposed to further dangers and
sufferings at this time. They should be
assisted in escaping the dangers which
now threaten them

Mr.. Watson does not intend to Withdraw
from the populist presidential ticket.
There is no doubt that he has been urged
to do so, and there may have been those
| vino have believed he would do So His
delay in publishing his letter Of acceptance
may have encouraged this belief. In a
letter published in Mondays New York
World he leaves no doubt as to what his
purpose is. He says, From the begin
ming Of the campaign I have given loyal
adherence to the St. Louis compromise
ticket, and shall continue to do so until
the end. ] will make any personal sacri-
flee not involving honor and principle to
aid Mr.. Bryan, regardless Of the conse-
quences to my political fortunes"
This is explicit. He makes it very clear
that he intends to remain the Vice Pres
idenual candidate of the populists until
the election has been held. He must
know, of course, that by remaining can
didate he prevents complete fusion of the
democrats and populists in some states,
but it is probable the failure of satisfac-
tory fusion in those states will not lessen
Mr. Bryan's chancestof success. In near
ly every state necessary to Mr.. Bryans
success fusion has been arranged for. and
Mr. Bryan will get the bulk Of the populist
vote.
Mr.. Watson is no doubt conscientious
in the course he is pursuing. If he should
withdraw a very large faction of his party
would charge him with being falthless to
the trust confided to him. That faction
does not take kindly to fusion, though it
will abide by it where it has been accom-
plished. 1t believes that if Mr. Watson
should withdraw very little more would
be heard of the populist party, and there
are reasons for thinking that view is the
right one
Now that Mr.. Watson has removed all
doubt as to his purpose to remain a can
didate interest in his expected letter OF
acceptance becomes stronger. One re-
port is to the effect that his intention is
to attack the democrats severely, ana
also those populists who favor the fusion
policy. The letter may be a sensat ional
feature of the campaign.

One Of the great crops of this country
this year is that of apples. 1t is so great
that in many of the orchards of the north
and east no effort is being made to save
the inferior grades of the fruit. Naturally
prices for applies are extremely low in
this country, and the export of the fruit
is very large. Good prices have thus far
been obtained in Europe where there is
a good demand for American apples al
most every season. The demand this sea-
son is better than usual, owing to a short
crop in almost all parts of Europe. At
the close of last week the shipments for
the season amounted to 602 $50 barrels. Last
week nearly $4,000 barrels were shipped
more than $4,000 barrels going to Liverpool
The exports of the fruit have been so
large that profitable prices can be obtain
ed for only the very best grades. Still,
as the holiday season approaches the de-
mand, and consequently prices. may in
crease somewhat.
The question of paying more attention
to the production of apples is of interest
to the people of the upper portion Of this
Sldle. lneIe Is no TedSOH WHY the very
finest apples should not be produced in
this state, and in quantities to meet the
demand of the home market and also for
export. The Savannah market is sup
piled almost wholly from the orchards of
the eastern states Why should Georgia
towns depend upon New England fer their
apples when the apple will grow to perfec-
ton within her own borders?
At the Atlanta exposition there was as
fine display of apples as there has ever
been at any fair in the east or the west.
The finest were from Arkansas and it is
quite certain that portions of this state
are as well adapted to apples as any part
Of Arkansas
The people of the upper portion of this
state are neglecting their opportunities in
not giving more attention to the produc-
ton of apples of the best varieties.
