CARE OF MATTRESSES.
How to Wash Wooden Blankets Before
Putting Them Away.

How to Wash Wooden Blankets Before
Putting Them Away.
The feather-bed is, of course, thing
of the past. 1t is probably not lament
ed in many quarters, as it is certainly
unhealthy, difficult to care for, and not
pleasant to sleep on. Mattresses,
blankets, pillows and other articles Of
bedding, however, require much care
to keep odorless and clean.
The main enemies to mattresses arc
dust, damp and moth, and frequent
brushing must be given them, for in an
incredibly short time they will harbw
dust all along the edges and where the
button is fixed. A loose cotton cover
over the mattress, made to button neat
ly at one end, also goes long way to-
ward keeping it clean. This can be
washed and changed as often as need
be without much trouble or expense.
1t is very important to air all the bed
ding thoroughly. Every article should
be daily taken Off and laid separately
over chair, and strong current of air
should be allowed to circulate through
the room before the clothes are re-
placed. The mattress should be turned
daily from end to end, as this insures it
being worn more evenly, and not sink
ing in the middle.
Blankets are difficulty to many peo-
pie, mostly because they cannot make
up their minds as to how often they
should be washed nor how they should
be treated. In many houses they
are only washed once year; but some
how this does seem rather too rare Q
proceeding. On the other hand, it is
really not necessary to have them
washed more than twice q year; but
they must have proper care in tho inter
val in the shape of airing, shaking, etc.
A washing machine is very good for tho
purpose, especially as they should never
be rubbed by the hand. The water
should be only lukewarm, and little
soap well lathered in the water is all
that will be required. Wiring the
blankets very dry through a wringer.
shake them out, and wash again in the
same way, wringing each time, until
they are quite clean. Do not rinse
them, but pull them into shape and
hang them out in the sun, which is q
great help TO preserving a good color.

POPS WORK SLOW.

Abilene, Kan, Aug. THE Populist
State convention remained in session
practically all night.
At late hour the following nOmina-
tons were completed:
The convention nominated Rev. ].
d. Bolk for congressman at large over
e. G. Little by vote of 430 to 22T.
For lieutenant governor, G. NJ. Dins-
more, of NeOsho; A. NJ. Harry, Shaw
nee county, and G. Bohrer, Rice coun-
ty. were placed in nomination. The
first ballot showed that Mr.. Harry
had a clear majority and his nominal
ton was made unanimous.
After a short recess for dinner the
balloting was resumed, but the pro-
ceedings were slow and tedious, each
candidate placed in nomination being
called before the convention to make
a five minute speech.
For encouragement, L. c. Boyle. of
Fort Scott, was nominated by vote of
260 to 254 over John Martin, of EN-
poria.
For secretary of state, w. E. Bush,
of Mankato, Lyman Nagle and w. II.
Boyd were placed in nomination.
Bush was nominated on the third bal
lot
For state treasurer, Joseph David
HeffelbOur, of Miami; John w. Bow
les, W. Ii. Biddle and Mack Ross were
placed in nomination. Heffelbour
was nominated by reclamation before
the completion of the first ballot.
At o'clock the convention refused
to adjourn until morning.

JONES GETS INTERVIEWED,

Washington, D. c.. Aug. CHAIR
man Jones is back at Democratic
headquarters today. He said concern
ing his visit to Senator Hill, there was
no authority for the statements that
Mr.. Hill had declared himself to him
Dones) on the political situation. On
the contrary, Jones says, Governor
Hill is a man who keeps his own coun-
sci and like others in New York is
probably awaiting the action of the
state convention in September When
asked as to the remark attributed to
him that Hill is all right" Jones
said he had stated from time to time
that he had no doubt Governor Hill
would be all right, but there was no
reason for giving any significance to
this opinion, in connection with the
meeting in New York.

National Provisional Committee Now
in Session in Hoosierdom.
indianapolis, Ind, Aug. THE pro-
visional national committee of those
Democrats not endorsing the recent
Chicago platform and ticket holds it's
initial meeting here this afternoon 1t
will first consider the question of call
ing another National Democratic, con-
ventiOn. After this matter is settled
and the character of the call agreed
upon will come up the question as to
when and where the national conyep-
ton will be held. There are questions
of policy to be passed on as we'll as
those of 'time and place." and the
meeting will be participated in by
more than the usual committeeman
of one from each state. While over
twO-thirds of the states have repre-
sentativeS here as members of the pro-
yisional national committee there are
more advisory visitors than the COM
mittee. The occasion is more in the
nature Of general conference of the
gold standard Democrats than that of
committee meetings. While the move
ment is the outgrowth of the free sill
yer element controlling the Chicago
convention it did not take organic
form until after that convention, when
an address was issued and q confer
ence held in Chicago, July %. On the
Following day temporary plan was
adopted, under which the meeting is
held here today. This temporary con-
vention provides for an executive COM
mittee, consisting of Bragg, of Wis
consin; Broadhead, of Missouri; Hald-
eman, of Kentucky: Robbins, of Hill
nois, and Bynum, of Indiana, which
have made arrangements for the meet
ing today and carried on correspon-
dence with gold standard Democrats
In those states not represented at
Chicago, July %, so as to have a full
representation at this time.
Temporary organization will be sue
ceeded today by permanent organiza-
ton which will continue until the Ma
tional convention is held and the GUS
tomary party machinery made up in
the usual way. The executive COM
mittee will this afternoon make a re-
port of all that has been done to the
present time and then turn everything
over to the national committee.
Members of the Xecutive committee
held short meetings this morning.
Delegates continue to arrive. Gen.
Il. s. Bragg, who is regarded as one
of the most important perSonages to
be present, will arrive at noon.

SUNDAY CLOSING CRUSADE.

New Orleans, Aug. I'm future the
viOlators of the Sunday law will be
severely dealt with, and through the
assistance of the Sunday Rest League
it will probably be impossible for any
saloons or similar establishments to
open their doors on the Sabbath. 1t is
expected that the saloon men will
keep shut until the cases of the men
who were arrested last Sunday are
disposed of, but this is only a suppo-
sition.

MATTERS IN CRETE.

New York, Aug. IA special to the
Herald from Canea, Crete, says: Mus
SULLIVAN refugees have entered Gambia
in large numbers. 1t was found i'm
possible to keep them outside the
gates, as they were starving. This
has caused certain anxiety among the
Mussullmans, who are leaving in great
numbers, all possible facilities for
their going being granted. Some have
gone by a special boat, bound for the
PireauS.
The Britain warship Helmet has
gone to Gambia. Her presence there
will restore confidence. The French
ship LiOnes has also gone to Gambia.
Hassan Pasha, the governor of Can
dia, has called commission to pro-
vide for the feeding and care of the
refugees. A battalion Of troops has
just arrived at Gambia. Abdulla
Pasha, who is at the head of the Turk
iSh military forces in the island, said:
st have the least fear about keeping
order. My soldiers are ready for all
events"

BRITISH CIYILIZING THE SAY
AGES.

Cape Town, Aug. "Details have
been received here of a decisive vic
tory won Wednesday by 700 British
troops, composing Col. Plumers col
umn, over a native force estimated at
5000 to 1000. The latter fought
most desperately, bravely charging to
within few yards of the British rap
id firing guns. About 5000 Matabele
warriors were slain during the engage
ment, which lasted several hours, and
the loss of the British included Major
Kershaw, Lieut.. Harvey, four ser
geants and thirty soldiers killed and
six officers, several nOn-cOmmissioned
officers and about fifty men wounded.
According to official figures the Mata-
beles and their allies were command
ed by the big Chiefs Sokoombeo and
Umlugulus, and were divided into five
impis, or regiments, each of over 1000

Patriotism Of the American Hen.

South Water street (Chicago) COM
mission man remarks that the Amer
lean hen has come to the scratch dur
ing the hard times. Eggs are about the
cheapest of the food products, since one
egg is considered equal to pound Of
beef in DEMONSTRATING qualities. They
were never so plentiful as they are at
this time, and have seldom been so
cheap. The philosophy seems to be
that the small returns received by the
farmers for their products have made
them devote more attention to tho
chickens, which are usually allowed to
shift for themselves and grow up in
any sort of way.

Good Way to Test Linen.

A way to test linen, by means Of
which the introduction of cotton
among the linen threads may be do
tected, is to cut off small piece Of tho
material, to unravel the threads and
then to examine them under a strong
magnifyiDg glass. The characteristics
Of haxthreads are very marked. They
arc in the form Of cylindrical stalks,
divided at intervals by knots, in tbs
same way as bamboo or sugar cane
stalks. Cotton threads are long and
hattened like ribbon, waved, twisted In
spirals and granulated on the surface.
