chased prussic acid from him on two

WASHINGTON, Jan, 1.-THE fate Of the
Pacific railroad funding bill, which was
debated three days In the house last week,
will be decided this afternoon, when the
measure, with the pending amendments,
will come to vote under the special order
under which the house is proceeding The
bill involves the settlement Of the $ll2,-
600, 600 of indebtedness of the Union Pa
rific and Central Pacific on the basis Of an
extension Of over eighty years at . per
cent, with an annual extinguisbment
payment on the principal at the rate Of
1866, 900 for the first ten years, $3.50, 600 for
the second ten years, and $3.50, for the
remaining years. 1t involves as the al
tentative of Its defeat the probabl i'm
mediate foreclosure of the governments S
lien and the sale of the property
1t Is the elimination of the struggle
which has gone on in congress for dozen
years to secure some sort of an adjust
ment of the Pacific railroad indebtedness
on the basis Of an extension, as it has been
apparent for long period that the roads
would default when the bonds matured.
The interests at stake are gigantic and
the friends Of the bill are straining evory
nerve. The opponents of the measure are
also active, and the result is awaited with
Intense interest.
Both sides have made polls of the mem
bers upon which they predicate their
claims Before the final vote is taken on
the bill tho Bell and Harrison substitutes,

times of refreshing from the presence of

list DR.. Walker is greatly delighing the
people. He is strong and earnest
man. His expositions Of the Holy Bible
are wonderful and his application of the
truth those of master workman. The
afternoon meetings have been spiritual
uplifts to the church. The hungry have
been fed. The thirsty have had cooling
drafts from the spripg of lite. The very
complimentary reports published concern
ing, DIR. Walkers work in other cities are
boing confirmed here.
He uses no tricks. He does not convert
the people by having them sign cards, nor
does he railroad them through. He
breaches the word. He Is an orator. His
sermon last night showed special elocu.
tionary training as well as the baptism OF
power He will be at St Pauls during
next week, come and hear him.

in the support his church is giving him in

Goblin Moth Spray.

Prof. Kedzie of Michigan gives the
following formula by which to prepare
an effective Goblin moth spray: Boil
two pounds of white arsenic and four
pounds of sal soda for fifteen minutes
in two gallons of water. Put into
jug, label poison, and lock up. When
ready to spray, slske two pounds of
lime and stir it into forty gallons of
water, adding pint of the mixture
from the jug. The mixture in the
jug will cost 40 cents, and this is
enough for 500 gallons or twenty
barrels OF spray. These twenty bar
rels will requ ire forty pounds of lime,
which Will cost 20 cents more, max
ing the total cost 60 cents for twenty
barrels, or 3 cents barrel. Its ad-
vantages over Paris green are as fol-
lows: 1t is cheaper and the ingre-
dents can be found in any village
drug store; it is easily prepared and
easily kept ready; it will keep for any
length of time; it is uniform In
strength; it does not injure the leaves
OF trees or plants; it colors the leaves
white. showing how evenly it is dis
tributed.
This spray mixture comes we'll en-
