ately set to work to discover how much
clay his firm owned. He estimates
that three yards of the capacity Of the
present one could run for 100 years on.
the land already owned by this firm.
Therefore the supply Of this excellent
clay may safely be said to be mex
haustible. Besides this Farnham
Bros. have large holdings on the same
bed.
The amount OF labor to open a yard
at this point can only be appreciated
by those who have cleared lands in a
thickly wooded country. The sites Of
both yards were covered by a heavy
growth of hard and soft woods and it
was necessary to remove every root be-
fore the stripping could be begun.
Then, too, roads were necessary and
this required no small amount Of labor.
While this year is dull and the
yards will run only short
season, in other localities no
brick will be made. at all. The
superior quality of the product Of these
yards, however, commands attention
and no trouble will be, experienced in
marketing all the stock on hand. This
is where our manufacturers have the
advantage of others in this business.
In times of great demand a yard MAX
ing an inferior grade may be able to
dispose of its product but in times Of
Istringency like the present when the
market is depressed, the best only will
find sale.

The shipping facilities are not Of
the best although Farnham Bros, ow-
ing to the location of the new siding
there can load 10000 per day. The
Woodcock yard has been laboring at a
disadvantage owing to the fact that
previous to the putting in of the Farm
ham siding all the shipments, both of
the products OF. the yard and wood and
farm produce of other firms were made
on their spur. It.is only $50 feet in
length yet in the six years the rail
road has received freight from the
shipments made here amounting to
over 900. At present the firm has
an order calling for three carloads
daily and it is very difficult to load
them owing to a lack OF room. The
company should show a better appre-
citation Of what it has received at the
hands OF the shippers at this point

member OF congress from the Seventh
district, and as able and consistent a
Populist as there is in Minnesota. has
been looking up John Lind's congress
sional record, and here is what Mr..
Boon says:
# the Hon.. John Lind is nominated
for governor his record in congress
will be very thoroughly overhauled,
unless he is satisfactory to the gang.
As the Penny Press and the Minneapo-
lis Times are urging his nomination
very strongly we suspect that there is
something else to be served besides the
public good.
Personally we like Mr.. Lind, but
politically we believe him to be re-
former la Knute Nelson. Limbs
friendship for bimetallism now, re-
minds us Of Nelson's vote for the Mills
tariff bill
Here are Mr.. Lind's votes on the
silver coinage question:
June 5, 1890, in the house of repre-
sentatives bill 1881 known as the Win
dom silver bullion purchase bill, was
pending. Mr. Bland moved to recon-
nit, with Instructions to report back a
bill for the free coinage of silver.
Among those who voted against.
Bland s motion is the name. of John
ELind.. z-s
In the Senate, Jpne ~ the bill a. r..
1881 was reported by the finance COM
mlttee Of the senate with sundry
amendments; while it was pending Mr..
Plumb, of Kansas, offered an amend
ment for free and unlimited coinages
which was agreed to. After a long
wrangling in the house Of representa-
tlves June IS, a vote was had on the
senate free coinage amendment and
John Lind's name is recorded among
those who voted against it.
In the house of representatives, Mar.
"a, 1892, house bill 1926 for the free
coinage of silver, ETC., was pending.
Mr. r.. Burrows moved to lay the bill on
the table, and the name of John Lind
is recorded among those who voted for
that motion.
These are the only instances where
John Lind during his six years in con-
gress had chance to vote on the
question Of the free coinage of silver.
and as has been shown he always voted
againstit.
The. rest of his record in congress-
will be found to be uniformly in favor
OF the money power.
We have not written this in hope of
heading off Mr.. Limbs nomination for
governor. But we publish it in order
to indicate our position in regard. to
Mr. N, Lind's candidacy now and before
his nomination is made.
We have continually opposed Knute
Nelson's political aspirations because
we from the start regarded him as
political fraud as one who, while pre-
tending to be for the people, was re-
tanned by the corporations.
Personally we have nothing against
either; politically we do not believe in
either of them. We know this is not
popular, but we also know it to be
right.

The parent of insomnia or wakefulness
is. in nine cases out of ten, a dyspeptic
stomach. Good digestion gives sound
sleep. indigestion interferes with it. The
brain and stomach sympathize. One of
the prominent symptoms of weak
state of the gastric organs is a distur-
bance of the great nerve entrepot. the
BRAIN lnvigorate the stomach. and you
restore equilibrium to the great centre.
A most reliable medicine for the pur-
pose is Hostetter's stomach Bitters.
which is far preferable to mineral seua-
tives and powerful narcotics which,
though they may for a time exert So
porific influence upon the brain. soon
cease to act. and invariably injure the
tone of the stomach. The Bitters, on the
contrary, restore activity to the opera
lions of that all important organ. and
their beneticent influence is reflected in
sound sleep and a tranquil state of the
nervous system. A wholesome impetus is
likewise given to the action of the liver
and bowels by its use.

"PIEcES OF cOWARDLY FALsEHOOD"
Says Or. HamIen on Charges Brought Against
Himself and Associates.

Boston, Dec. 20.-ln reply to certain
charges against himself and other
former and present missionaries of the
American Board made by Mustpha
Fey to the state department at Wash
ington, according to recent press dis
patches. the Bey. Cyrus Hamln. d. D.,
Of Lexington. ailirms that all the
charges brought against him and the
other missionaries are absolutely false
Whatever proof Mustapha Bey may
have presented to the state depart
ment. he says, is manufactured by
Turkish methods which will not bear
examination. The testimony of Arme-
mans given under torture is not adj
Missile. In Turkey forged letters have
been presented. but in every case the
comparison, if allowed. with the writ
ings of the accused, has at once re-
vealed their forgery. With regard to
the Hunchagists. Dr. Hamlin says that
no word of his has ever been uttered
or written which was not in earnest
and unqualified condemnation And
the missionaries. now so unJustly ac-
cused. he says. always have been
against them, for which they have
been threatened by them with assas-
sination. But the Turkish government
is in very tight place.
The Sultan is determined to eXter-
inmate the Armenians or convert them
to Mohammedanism. He has been
steadily at it for years. Some 10000 or
Sc, 00Omen have been massacred, peace
full. unarmed men; their houses looted
ond destroyed and the women and
children left to perish or become
Moslems. This unparalleled drama of
slaughter and sucering is attracting
too much attention and sympathy
among the nations. The first plan of
stoutly denying the truth of reports
has to be given up. The evidence is
multifOrm j.. and Overwhelming. The
present plan is to lay the blame upon
others.
The Sultans party cannot accuse
Russians or Frenchmen or Italians or
Englishmen. Their governments pro-
tect them. This has been recent I
upon Mr.. McCallum, and the English
ambassador compelled the grand visier
to withdraw the charges and sent an
iron clad to Alexandretta to see to it.
But any charge can be made against

SOMERSET COURT.


Saturday, Dec. 10.
Melvin Bigelow, ct AL, in equity, VS..
Edison c. Buker, bill to redeem from
foreclosure of mortgage.
Mr.. Buker's attorneys presented the
testimony of a large number of wit
nesses who testified to being at the
house of Mr.. Bigelow at various times
and knew of the sickness of Mr.. and
Mrs Buker. Several had carried diff
fcrent articles of food at request of
Mr.. Buker or wife Some had been
there when the room was untidy and
Soiled.
Drs. Moulton and Bean described a
severe illness of Mr.. Buker which
happened in the spring of 1895. when
Mr. Buker needed the care of male
attendant. Mr.. Bgelow was away
much of the time. Buker testified that
Mr.. Bigelow sold his gray horse. a safe,
steady horse. and did not always pro-
vide safe horse: that Mr.. Bigelow
sold his wagon, sleigh, hens, etc, and
Mr. Buker and wife were not we'll
supplied with fresh eggs, meat, etc.
Mr. Buker introduced in evidence
written statement prepared by him at
the time of the foreclosure proceed
ings, setting forth in detail the charges
made by him against Mr.. and Mrs.
Bigelow. This statement was signed
by Mrs. Bigelow, acknowledging the
correctness of the statements. A de-
tached sheet was not signed by Mrs.
Bigelow and was not admitted in evil
dence by the court.
Two of the witnesses, on cross eX-
animation. stated the general reputa-
ton of Mr. Buker for truth and
veracity was not-good. DR.. Moulton
explained this by saying that Mr..
Buker was inclined to be sensational
and quick in his conclusions.
