UNCLE SAN

Washington. d. c., Sept. 2l.-From
time to time rumor have come from
European sources to the effect that the
government of the United States has
signiticd its intention of cooperating
with one or more of the great powers
among those last mentioned being
Great Britain and Italy, to enforce re-
forms in the Turkish empire and pre-
ven further attacks upon Armenian
Christians. To support these stories
the perfectly routine movement of two
of our cruisers had been twisted into
an intended hostile demonstration. 1t
can now be authoritivcly stated that
ii is not contemplated. nor has not been
that u government in the slightest
degree should depart from the time
honored policy of %refraining from in,
tervention in European affairs further
than was necessary to protect Ameri-
can citizens and even in protecting our
citizens any action taken will be abso.

An eminent queens counsel once
gave the following recommendation to
a gentleman who proposed to swear an
affidavit, after having already sworn
in the course of the suit. "Never,' re-
marked the queens counsel, swear an
affidavit when your previous affidavit
to the contrary effect is in possession of
the court. Because, my young friend
he added. "that would be lying."

sickness are not due to any actual dis

family laxative, Syrup OF Figs. prompt
ly That is why it is the only
remedy with millions Of families, and is
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who alu good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore

UNHAPPY LEADY|LLE.
A DAY OF TERROR FOLLOWS THE
NIGHT ATTACK UPON THE
CORONADO.
The Emmett Mine Bravely Defended
and the Mob is Repulsed With Seri-
ous Loss, Taking Their Dead and
Wounded From the Field-Militia
Now In Possession OF the Town.

Leadville. Colo, Sept. 21.-Five bod,
les at the morgue, a half dozen injured
and $25, 900 worth of property destroyed
are the visible effects of last nights
lawlessness. 1t is believed when the
facts are known the list of killed and
injured will be much larger. The fifth
name added to the death list was made
at 6 O'Clock this evening by the dis,
covery of the body of Micheal Dough-
erty on the ground near the Emmett
mine, where he fell during the attack
Of the rioters, who went to the Emmett
flushed with victory at the Coronado.
There were many people in the upper
windows and upon the house roofs,
who in the bright moonlight saw the
attack on the Emmett and the repulse
Of the rioters. These watchers say the
first volly from the mine was delivered
at close range and the attacking party
fell like grain before the sickle. How
many met the fact OF Dougherty may
remain for time and a search OF the
long abandoned shafts in the vicinity
to tell. 1t seems the rioters dragged
away the dead and wounded.
The story of the defense of the EN-
NETT is a thrilling one. Easily access
ible and surrounded only by a light
board fence, 1t seems wonderful that
1t was not quickly overwhelmed, its
men slain and the buildings demol-
ished, but the Is buck shot found in
Dougherty's body and the story of the
fearful effect of the first volley from
the mine tells how quickly the rioters
lost stomach for the bloody business.
Had the mine been blown up, the great
pumps which drain it and many other
mines would have been destroyed and
the ensuing damage immense.
A meeting Of representative citizens
was held this afternoon. The proceed
ings were secret. and 1t Is understood
stringent measures have been decided
upon. Two companies Of state militia
from Pueblo and Cripple Creek. all un-
der the command of Colonel Mccoy,
arrived at 1850 this afternoon and are
O on duty. General Brooks. with
several other companies, arrived dur
ing the night.
The damage at the Coronado by the
burning Of oil tanks. boilerhouse and
machinery is now estimated at $25, 900
or which there is $500 insurance.
The houses burned were valued at 49,
900; no insurance.
Despite the presence OF troops and
the unusual quietness Of the streets
there is a very uneasy feeling prevail.
ent among the most timorous, who as
sert there are 500 Winchester rifles in
the hands Of the strikers, whose re-
peated threats against the militia are
recalled with alarm. The majority OF
the citizens. however. think there will
be no further trouble unless the man
ayers begin importing miners.

The Two Magnetic Poles.

Some time during the latter half Of
1898 We gave a Curious Note en-
titled ''The Two North Poles"-a
short disquisition on the difference
between the geographical and mag
netic North Poles. Close inyestiga-
tion. Of the phenomena of magnetism
has proven that the North and
South magnetic poles are neither
Identical with the geographical
poles, but that they are in the neigh
borhood of the earth's axis of rota-
ton. In the case of the north mag
netic pole the exact location is we'll
known-at 81 degrees west longi-
tude and 7e3 degrees north latitude.
The location OF the south magnetic
pole is not known to a certainty, but
is believed to be near $50 degrees
east longitude and IS degrees south
latitude.-St. LOUIS Republic.

A Voluble gentleman who has been
serving with the Cuban army has re-
turned to this country loaded to the
gunWale with stories of Spanish cruel
ty. He says that while he was a pris-
oner at the MORO castle the authori-
ties forced all the prisoners to go in
swimming daily in order that as many
as possible might be eaten by sharks.
According to his account this plan
worked admirably, as the sharks man
aged to eat up about as many daily as
were freshly brought to the castle, thus
enabling the governor to keep his list
at about the same figure despite the
constantly arriving newcomers.

Last year Indiana lost five hundred
and eighty thousand, two hundred and
sixty hogs by disease, entailing a prop
erty loss OF three and a quarter million
dollars. Nearly the entire loss was due
10 cholera and swine plague. 1t was
distributed as follows: In two hundred
and thlrty-two townships the loss was
from ten to twenty per cent; in one
hundred and twenty-seven, from tWen-
" TO thirty per cent; in fifty-nine,
from thirty to forty per cent; in fifty
three, from forty to fifty per cent; in
IWenty-Tour, from fifty to sixty per
cent; in twelve, from sixty to seventy
per cent, and in one, seventy-seyen per
cent, while the remainder lost less
than ten per cent of all the hogs that
were produced. The disease is we'll
disseminated in the state this fall, and
the season of greatest loss will soon
be upon us. Every effort should be
made to lessen its ravages as much
as possible. An important factor in
reducing the loss is to provide proper
shelter, as all hogs with only a mild
attack. or having. apparently made q
recovery, may take5a relapse if exposed
to a cold rain or to a sudden change to
rough weather. There are thousands
of hogs now in a condition to become
affected with pneumonia, which would
escape if given a little protection. Any
shed which will keep off the rain and
break the wind is sufficient. The floor
should be dry, but little bedding IS
needed, and that renewed frequently.
Burn all litter and bedding once a
week. Keep the herd divided so that
crowding is impossible. Remember, a
straw stack is the most unfavorable
place that can be provided sick hogs.
The essentials in prevention are good
food, pure water and clean, dry quar-
ters. The station would be pleased to
rece%Ie information from any source
as to the presence of the disease and
of all successful ways of checking it.

Miss Bertha Robinson, a tall Chi
cago blonde, has travelled all the way
to New York to endeavor to extract
from one David Weisenberger som
$4,000 worth of broken heartage. He
wrote to her as my Birdie," and in
cold black and white asked her mother
for permission to marry "your ador-
able daughter" It would appear from
this that the Chicago girl has got a
lead pipe cinch'' on the gay but friv-
olous New Yorker. The chief difficulty
in all these matters, however, has
been to decide just what the market
price of a broken heart actually is.
Some girls who appeal to the law in
these matters have only had their
hearts broken $4,000 worth, while the
Brooklyn lady who was, lightly loved
by the chewing gum man has suffered,
according to her view of the matter,
100000 worth of damage to her affec-
tons. The calm philosopher is always
haunted by a nameless fear that posi-
bly, the extent of the gay Lothario's
bank account may In a measure infu-
ence the amount OF suffering Indicted
upon the lady, from which it seems fair
to gather that in the present instance
Mr.. Weisenberger must be a rich man.

Watering Horses When Heated.

An English cavalry officer and vet
erinarian writes as follows in the Lon
don Live Stock Journal: "Prejudice
dies hard, and the hardest of all to die
in the minds of grooms is that it is
injurious to give a horse a drink OF
cold water when he is heated from ex-
ercise. Years ago, when I used to train
horses for racing in India, I %grappled
with this prejudice, and chung to it
with such tenacity that. I used con-
stantly to have my horses off their
feed after a strong gallop. One day l
returned to the mess-house very hot
and very tired after a long run, and
suddenly thought fit to mentally put
myself in the place of a race horse.
Shall 1 have I asked myself, "a better
appetite for breakfast if I refrain from
drinking til! I have cooled down, or if
l have a drink right OFF, Knowing
that / could not eat heartily unless I
had first of all a drink, I took it, and
thereupon felt 50 fit to eat, and went
SO strong owe a course of beefsteaks,
ham and eggs, quail, mullins, ETC., that
/ resolved to try the same treatment
on my horses. My lead was attended
with such success that nowadays all
the trainers in India give their race
horses about half a bucket Of cold
water to drink Immediately after a
gallop, and with the best results as re-
CARDS their appetite and health. 1 have
not alone never seen, but have never
eve heard or read of any harm to a
horse from drinking cold water when
he vas heated. l have, however. seen
hundreds of cases Of collie occur in
horses from drinking water after be-
ing fed. on occasions when they had,
previous to eating, been deprived of
water for some time. Were all grooms
to follow my advice as to watering. I
am afraid that many an honest and
hard : working veterinary surgeon
would find his income from collie cases
seriously diminished"
Dairy Failures.-The cows may be of
the very best dairy breed and may have
perfect care and treatment, and if poor
butter is made, the enterprise is a fail
ure. No healthy COW ever gave bad
cream, and the spelling that is neces-
sarys IN order to make bad butter is
almost always done after it leaves the
COW. To make good butter should be
the height of every dairyman's ambi-
ton.
