DEMOCRATIC DELUsIoNs.

The Democratic party have made
the boast that they will carry Ohio
this fall If they do it will be ac-
cepted as singing rebuke to the
Republican party in general and TO
President Mckinley in particular.
Ohio and Iowa are both alike in this,
that they are to be made the battle
ground OF as vigorous political con-
test as has ever been waged in an off
year In Iowa there is n persistent
attempt made on the part of all the
anti-Republican hosts and factions to
unite on the candidate for the supreme
judgeship Of the state, and it is
practically effected as Judge Kinney
is named as his own successor. The
Republicans, who temporarily lost
sight OF their party interests some
years ago in their controversy over
prohibition. have returned to their al
legiance and showed their faith in
the old principles of Republicanism
in their splendid victory of last Nov
ember. The Democratic party are Of
the opinion that there being no con-
test for place involving great nation
al issue the opposition can be united
and have entered the field to unite
against the Republican party. Their
candidate is shrewd. a shrewd poll
tician. Always before the people.
One of the original anti-monopolists
of the state. Has large personal
following. His defeat will not be
child's play, but the Republicans are
in earnest and when the Hawkeyes
fight a political battle with all their
forces it is going to end in a Repub-
lican triumph. A defeat here will be
accepted as a rebuke to the Washing
ton policy. Much more then would q
defeat in Ohio be considered as a
black eye to the party, the president,
and the party policy. Senator Hanna
knows this as well or better
than any other man on earth. He is
the general of the late battle in which
the opposition hosts were swept from
the field, routed horse, foot and artil-
lery. He is doubly, trebly interested
in this fight. His prestige is at stake;
his seat in the United States Senate is
at stake; Republicanism to which he is
welded is at stake. Hanna will make
the fight of his life in Ohio this fall
and go up or down with the result.
The best speakers of the party will
be on hand. Ohio will hear good ora
tory as well as good Republican Cos
pei. Allison and Thurston and Alger
and other lights of the party will be
there, and Hanna is going to stump
the whole state. That a reversal of
the verdict of year ago will follow
no one believes, unless Mclean has
money enough to buy up the state.
Look out for another sweeping Re-
publican victory there.

In the territory that is included in
Greater New York two-fifths and
more, of all the assemblymen Of the
New York state Legislature are to
be elected. This practically hands the
direction Of the State Legislature over
to the city, for only half Of the re-
naming fifth, or one-tenth of the en-
tire body would have to work with
the New York members to carry any
measure they might insist on. This
with S150,000,000 to be disbursed by
the party controlling the municipal
government makes that control well
worth fighting for.

OZARK MOUNTAIN FREAK.
st. Louis Judge Discovers n Chicken
Within a Chicken.

A chicken, within chicken is, ac-
cording to the ST. Louis Republic, the
remarkable freak of nature witnessed
by Attorney Alexander Young during
his recent sojourn in the Ozark noun
tains.
If Judge Young We're not noted for

Judge Young came to a lonely cottage,
tenanted by John Brown and family.
He stopped there three days, fishing,
and on the day of his departure the
good family offered 20 kill the biggest
chicken on the place for dinner. A big
yellow leg. the largest chicken for its
age ever seen on the place, was singled
out for the ak. Mrs. Brown informed
her guest thatit had been Matched from
the biggest egg ever laid in the place
during 25 years. She allowed" that
the chicken which came from it would
be whopper, 1t more than exceeded
her expectations. On occasions, how
ever, it seemed to droop and pine.
After long chase yellow leg was
brought to a stump where wood was
split. The whole family and their
guest went out to see the killing. The
negro woman chopped off the head and
threw the sjumping, Topping body on

Judge Young regained'his appetite for
chicken and theorized that the freak
of nature must have beenhatched from
an egg within an egg. The negro re-
vived and declared TO God de debil"

finally agreed that the judge was right
N his theory.
The inside chicken staggered about
blindly. 1t had no eyes. Close observa-
ton revealed that its growth had been
stunted.
"You ugly monster! That explains
it" said Mrs. Brown, as she glanced
at the freak in horror.
Explains what?" asked the judge.

enough for two chickens. and said so

There is no doubt that the appoint
ing power being in the hand of the
president he has right to remove
from office when he considers it for
the public good. Had the courts in
the recent Kentucky case against the
postmaster general for removal been
sustained then would all the appoint
ments of Democrats for the past four
years, made upon the removal of Re-
publicans, been sustained under the
peculiar policy Of Cleveland, in
stretching the blanket of the civil SER
vice to cover his new appointments.
1t has not worked.

etc-(FumigatiOn Al with sulphur
Heavy Clothing, blankets, bedding, to
be so treated, should be freely expos
ed and the room air-tightly closed.
The sulphur is poured upon iron pans
supported on bricks, placed in a water
tub containing a little water. The
sulphur is then ignited by hot Goals or
by the aid of spoonful of alcohol
The room should remain closed for
"a hours. For a room ten feet square
at least two pounds of sulphur should
be used. Larger rooms in proportion.

fled investigation as to its power of
destroying germs, lately formaldehyde
or formaline gas has been considered
the ideal disinfectant for rooms and
all kinds of furniture and fabrics.
1t does not destroy the color or the
texture and has the great advantage
of permeating textile fabrics to con-
siderable depth. A special lamp is re-
quired for its generation, which, ac-
cording to make and size, ranges in
price from SO to $50 an over, and re-
quires from 80 to 80 cents worth of
chemicals for each time it is used.
The lamp must be charged and light
ed after the room has been air-tightly
closed and all materials to be exposed
to 1t from three to five hours. The
health office will give the names of
some of the manufacturers upon re-
quest. This kind of disinfection is the
most satisfactory and recommendable
according to the present condition of
our knowledge.
