In order to accomplish this very desirable result, small bags, composed of thin cheese cloth about 5 inches square. should be made by ma chine and each one filled loosely with the following mixture: Five pounds of oatmeal ground fine, half a pound of pure castle soap reduced to powder, and a pound of finely powdered Italian orris root. These ingredients should be thor oughly mixed together. The oatmeal bags should be used as a sponge, being dipped in warm water, when they will make a thick. rich father. receptacle for these small bags should be made of some stout material, having an inner lining of rubber, which may be bought by the yard.

List of the Members OF the Next
Legislature.

McKinley's majority In Wisconsin
continues to grow as more accurate
returns come in. His plurality now
reaches 100000, which figure is more
likely to be increased than diminished.
1t is not only record breaker as far
as majority goes, but consider
ing the voting strength Of the state
Is a larger majority than is given by
any other state in the union with the
exception OF Vermont.
In several counties fuller returns than
were hitherto available have worked
changes in one way or another, but
the net result has been to increase the
republican majority. The banner
clearly belongs to Shebcygan county
Under normal conditions that county
is largely democratic. 1t gave 1880
democratic majority In 1872
and when the repGb-
leans swept everything in 1894 She
boygan gave upham but S22 plurality,
AS nearly as can be calculated at this
writing Sheboygan has gone for Nc
Kinley by 1896. La Crosse, which
oftens goes democratic, is entitled to
the second prize, and is closely pur-
sued by Winnebago, those counties
giving Mckinley 3,265 and 2,7s4 re-
spectively.

several counties in Wisconsin as

THE SECOND LEASE OF THE NORTH
CAROLINA RAILROAD.

IA HOL1NA nAuLfSOADs
Chapter Two.l
The second lease of the North Caro-
lima Railroad, whether accompanied
by like cumstances to those which
attended the first, or otherwise, in
flicted, or will intlict far greater
wrong upon the State, if suffered to
90 into operation, or to continue in
operation.
The first lease was for but Thirty
years. The second is for ninety-nine
years. When the first lease was made,
the country had not recovered from
the effects of disastrous civil war.
The population of the State, and of
the counties through which the road
| passes, was little more than half what
it is at present; the towns upon the
road, and at its termini, are now three
to five times greater in population and
wealth, than they were when the thir-
ty year lease was made; while their
business--their manufactures, and
their trade, have increased one hun
dred fold, at the least. And yet the
new lease stipulates to pay but $26, O0O
per annum more, for ninety-nine
years, than the first lease paid for
thirty years! This bare statement OF
the terms of the lease is sufficient to
demonstrate, that for whatever reas.
ons, it was not made in the interest OF
the State.
The lease sets out with alleging thu
following section of the charter of tn.
North Carolina Railroad Company a!
the authority Of the contracting par
ties, the Southern Railway Company
and the North Carolina Railroad Com
pany-for making the deal:
"That Whereas" so reads the lease
, at is provided by the nineteenth sec
ton Of the charter Of the North Caro-
lima Railroad Company, that the SAT-
Company may, when they see fit, farm
