AS one of the Populist organizers In
1892, by appointing negro clerks"
Dockery to Clerk Swinson said: "You
shall not destroy the Republican
party in Richmond
By refusing to recognize Quick, our
caucus nominee for assistant I'm
rolling Clerk"
Thus the fight began, the RAIDS were
mad and sad
To see that Clerk Swinson, selected by
PopuIists and endorsed by them
AS Chief Enrolling Clerk, ''as one who
could not be play ed by Democrats, ,
AS they said Satterield and Brown had
been in 1895,
Withstanding even their pleading CRY
for Quick and YOWng;
Raving wild these tethered RAIDS grew
and sWore they'd bolt
The trade with the POpullsts they had
made, to give the Chief Clerk
To the Populiet, like children / their
prinkish days, this :.
Ranting, roaring band Of RAIDS did bolt
the deal, and refuse by
Repudiating the election they made by
Joint endorsement Of SWlnsOn
AS Enrolling Clerk for the Populists,
Just to make a place for ttCO nfgs.
Quick and Young, these gallant RAIDS

in the saddle, to lead
Banded with the boiling Pops, decreed
q fat resolution to pass,
Abolishing SWinson and his Office, If
either then existed in law,
Since all boilers in interest %conspired
herein.
Clear it seemed, they said, There's
no rights, rule or law we're bound
to respect"
Therefore be it resolved, since apart to
the Populists we appOrtioned it,
The Enrolling Clerk Of this General
Assembly, its easy, its fair, its
right,
To take from the Pops this Office and
play Smathers' Ipjun,
Increase and divide il again, amongst

And only to such chiefs as u will can

SMALL FRUIT CULTURE.
Famous Wisconsin Man Asks who should
Grow EcrrIes:'

GROW
That is the question asked by M. a.
Thayer, the famous berry raiseI of
Sparta, Wis, and by him answered as
follows:
First of all, farmers everywhere, for
FIRMLY use. Farmers must grow ber-
ries or do without. No one can grow
them so cheaply as he. They may be
produced ready for picking, at two
cents per quart. The farmer saves cost
of picking, packing, boxing, Grating,
freight, express and profits of growers.
He gets them at first cost, fresh from
the vines, and 10 the extent of his own
family has the best market in the
world-a home market. He can select
the best land and location on his own
farm, and is sure of profit with half a
crop.
Farmers can never have ideal homes
without the fruit garden. 1t teaches
the lessons Of intensified farming. and
results in better tillage, larger crops.
better stock and improved methods in
every way Good gardens and poor
farms never keep company long.
The growing of berries for family use
is easily done. The growing of ber-
ries largely. and selling them in good
market. requires considerable skill and
special business tact. Only those
who have good location, good market
and taste for the business should at
tempt it. Many small farmers so stu
ated are making a success by com
mencing moderately and increasing
acreage from season to season as eX-
perience warrants.
Berries should be grown by owners
OF all village homes. and acreage prop
erty in city and village may be prof
itably used for that purpose.
The market gardener selling his owr
products can often make an acre or two
of berries very profitable They are
suitable companions for their vegetable
friends. and sell we'll together
The business or professional man. all
most broken with care. may recover
health and strength III the pleasant
walk Of horticulture. It is restful 70
10th mind and body.
Many women dependent on their ow-n
efforts are securing substantial aid
from their gardens; berries and flowers
thrive best under the gentle touch of
women.
Many a bright boy may receive his
first incentive to business and earn his
first money by growing berries or ver-
etables Give them a patch Of ground
and encourage them in this work.

suTcHERINo TIME.
Timely Hints Concerning the Killing and
Dressing of Hogs.

DANssAAS OF noSS
Butchering time is near at hand;
have plenty of dry wood up, kettles and
scaiding tub ready. tie old gun ready to
shoot, and the knives sharpened. Meat
killed in moderately cool weather will
take salt better and keep sweeter than
that killed in severely cold weather.
Under latter conditions it is liable to
freeze or chill before the animal heat
and smell leaves the carcass.
Water heated with hot limestone
rock will clean a hog better than water
heated in kettles. If you heat in ket-
ties, put a shovelful of ashes in the
scalding tub; 160 degrees is scalding
heat, but water at IT'S to $50 degrees
will do the work much quicker but
with more danger of setting the hair
The thermometer is the best test of the
proper heat, but old butchers readily
test it by the feel of the water on the
hands.
Shoot your hogs down before sticking
them. it is more humane and even if it
was not, shot hog viii bleed more
freely than one stuck alive. The proper
place to shoot is where lines drawn from
each eye to the opposite ear would cross.
Use small charge of powder, or if you
use breech-loading gun, use short cart
ridges. As soon as the hog drops stick
him. Roll him on his back, put the
point of your knife, which should not
be more than six inches long. right in
front of the breast bore. direct it toward
the root of the tail, thrust it in and with
draw it quickly to prevent shoulder
sticking from the struggles of the dying
animal. Scald the front end first. and
when the hog is clean hang it on the
gallows pole and scrape down. Use hot
water at first, and finish it up with a
bucket or two of cold water
Take the insides out of the hog Just
as soon as YOU can after it is hung up
Put your knife il at the hole made in
sticking and rip up through the breast
bone and ribs; this will allow any blood
that has settled in the lungs to run out
while you finish the job. Split down be
tween the hams and cut around the
vent; pull and cut until you have the
bung gut loose for six inches. Tie a
string around it and push it back into
the carcass. Finish cutting down in
front, and put your LEFT hand under the
intestines as they roll out; with the
right hand tear everything loose from
the back bone, using the knife with
care, so as to avoid cutting the entrails.
Cut the gullet in front of the stomach,
and take the stomach out with the rest
of the entrails. Remove the liver, lungs
and heart after the rest is done. If the
hog is not bloody inside, use no water
to clean it, but wipe it dry with cloth.
Even if the inside of the hog is rather
bloody. 1t may be wiped clean with little
trouble; the meat will take salt better
IL kept dry.-C. d. Lyon, in Rural World.

NEW YORK, July 19-John Bradbury
the Los Angeles, Cal, millionaire, and his
wife, Lucy Bradbury who became recon-
ciled to each other in Chicago a few days
ago, arrived at the Grand Central Station
here early this evening The pair came
East on the Chicago limited The Brad
burys remained in the private compart-
ments on the train during the entire trip
They seemed to be happy when they
alighted from the train. Colonel Bradbury
said that the journey from Chicago was
most delightful and, referring to the recon
ciliation with his wife, said:
Yes, we are reconcilcd. We shall stay in
New York a few days, and then we shall
journey to Europe. We have no definite
plans as yet. In fact, we have not dis
cussed the matter very much on our way
from Chicago here. l do not care to give

been for his spell over her. Il am positive
OF this he said
lie further vouchsafed the opinion that
the whole matter would soon be forgotten
and said that Mrs Bradbury was sin
cerely sorry for her act and attributed il
to the powerful and dangerous control
Ward had acquired over her.

The Strike General Promises that in
Five Days Miners VIII Force
Settlement.


srecal to the indianapolis journal
TERRE HAUTE, Ind, July 19.-There Is
a movement to get the miners organiza-
tons to permit the men in this State and
in the Grape Creek. ILL.,, district to return
to work at the Columbus scale, which is
what the strike is for The operators say
to their men that by this method they can
best bring into line those places in Illinois
where lower wages have been paid, but IL
they undertake to keep all out until all
the small fields are brought into line, they
will mostly lose the scale everywhere. The
operators will agree to sign the scale for
the full price for a year or until the miners
are at work in other parts of the competi-
tive field at lower wages. The point the
operators make is that the miners are
more likely to bring the disaffected opera
tors into line, keep their own organization
intact and retain public sympathy this way
than by a prolongatlon of the strike. The
Indiana operators and the leaders of the
miners have no hope of settlement by arbi-
tration in the Pittsburg district and are
looking forward to the prospect of at
tempt here and there to start the men at
work regardless of their organization.
Trustworthy information is to the effect
that the Standard Oil Company has made
contracts with Chicago customers of In
diana coal for the use of oil at their fur
naces to an extent to displace two hundred
cars of coal a day. Studebakers at South
Bend began using oil to-day and an agent
of the oil company is busy making con-
tracts. Indiana oil is now lower than ever
before, and can be utilized by large manu-
factories at a saving under such prices as
50 and 81 for mine-run coal, which is about
what these large industries have been pay
ing. Indiana oil is ~ cents lower than during
the miners strike Of 1894 and the Standard
people are eagerly taking advantage offered
by the strike of the miners.
Judge Terhune and John B. Conner, ap-
pointed by Governor Mount to make q per-
sonal investigation Of the mining situation
in the State, arrived here this evening ex-
pecting to hear statements by Presidents
Talley, of the Operators Association, and
President Knight, of the Miners. But both
are in Columbus. State Mine inspectors
Fisher was with the special commissioners
and will go with them tomorrow TO mines
on the Big Four road to talk with the min-
