MYSTERIOUS MOVEMENTS.
A Large Filibustering Expedition
Supposed to Be Getting Ready.

Pensacola, Fla, March 9.-The fill
clustering excitement was revived here
yesterday when the cruiser Marblehead
suddenly steamed into the harbor and
came to anchor near the Montgomery.
She came from the vicinity of Appala-
chicola to take on coal, leaving an arm
ed crew there to keep watch until she
returned. 1t is an open secret that the
cars of arms and boats that left jack
sOnville on Thursday arrived here. The
cars were opened and the contents could
easily be seen. The body of Cubans
went to AppaIa chicola, and il is known
that custom officer has gone from here
to that port.
The fact that the arms and surf boats
were shipped here in open cars and that
the Cubans went in broad daylight to
Appalachicola leads the public to con-
clude that the whole movement was
only a grand stand" play to divert the
attention OF the officials from some 9TH
er point on the coast where operations
are being carried on. In addition to- the
war vessels, several men said to be
PinkertOn detectives are here. No
shore leave has been granted to officers
or men on the Marblehead or the Mont
gomery and it is impossible to learn
anything Of their future movements.

A CONFLICT OF LAW.
An Oklahoma Divorce Gets a New
Yorker in Trouble.

New York March 9.-Another Okla

John D. DriscoH on the pretense of go
ing to Iowa to secure a position, went
to Oklahoma, where he obtained a di-
vorce on the ground of his wife's cruel
ty and desertion. AS soon as he return
ed his wife had him arrested in a suit
brought by her against him for divorce.
Driscou did not put in an appearance
at the trial, but relied ON the validity
of his Oklahoma decree. Justice Law
renee today granted Mrs. Driscoll her
decree holding that the western divorce
was invalid, as Mrs. DriScou had never
appeared in the suit, was nonresident
of Oklahoma and the court had never
acquired Jurisdiction over her.

q Muncie Man Given q Frozen Snake
Which Later Thaws Out.

Muncie, Ind, March 9-Dr. Orville L.
Boor, veterinary surgeon of this city
formerly meat inspector at Hammond
had a CHASTITY joke perpetrated on him
last week which may affect his mind
permanently. During the severe cold
spell in the early part of the week he
went to the country on g professional
call, and while he was performing his
duty the owner of the horse found a
blacksnake frozen stiff and apparently
hfeless in the snow. He presented it
to DR.. Boor, saying it was a walnut
cane carved in the shape of a snake.
Being in a hurry the doctor did not
examine it closely and threw it in the
buggy. He thought no more of his
cane" until yesterday, when he went
to hitch up his horse and buggy He
was nearly paralyzed with fear when
he saw a snake coiled on the buggy
seat, very angry at being disturbed
His snakeship had thawed out in the
warm stable
The doctor managed to get to his
house, where he was seized with con-
WILSON'S He still has paroxysms of
fear when anyone mentions or when
he sees or hears anything suggestive of
snakes. His physicians say the fright

nently deranged.

DON'T KNOW THE FACTS.
Abilene Paper Much Exercised Over
Statement in the .JournaLn


The following is from the Abilene
Chronicle:
The State Journal of Topeka is so
elated over the establishment of a
creamery in Topeka that it already has
c H. Pattison, our county treasurer,
and J. B. Chase moving to "The Holy
City, at once.
The fact is that neither gentleman
contemplateS any such move either this
or any other summer. Topeka will get
creamery, and it will be a good one
and will prove a big thing, but it is
ridiculous for it to claim that because
some of Abilene's surplus capital ia
seeking outside investment that the
men are going out with the cash.
The Chronicle may not like it but the
facts in the case are that both Mr. Pat
tison and Mr.. Case told a Journal re-
porter that they intended to move to
Topeka. The Chronicle may not like to
lose these gentlemen but the Journal is
not to blame because they have decided
to move to Topeka and make this the
headquarters for their business. The
Journal is in the habit of asking a great
many questions concerning new bust
ness ventures, and it generally gets the
facts. The Journal never depends on
"sanctum' guesses for it's news. You
will find that it always investigates and
gets the truth first hand, provided in
terested parties tell the truth.

exchange. In the first place, when the
subscriber rings up the central Office all
the ringing is done by the bell on his
own telephone. In the exchange, where
sit dozens of busy young women, no
noise is made at all. His frantic ringing
merely caused little, round, numbered
disk to rise on the front of the switch

and, pickANg up a peg, inserted it in one
of hundreds of numbered holes. A faint
ringing when the contact was made told

The Progressives Gain Ground and

New York, March "a special to the
Herald from Valparaiso says: while
returns of the congressional and mu-
nicipal elections are yet incomplete, it
is known the Conservatives, who made
a brave fight, were severely disciplined.
The party which really gained ground
in the election and obtained several
new seats in congress was the Allied
Liberal and Democratic factions COM
posed largely of adherents of the late
President Balmaceda. The party also
secured strong representation
throughout the republic in the munich
pal boards. The Conservatives declare
they are satisfied with the result, but
their chagrin is shown in many ways.

A Word for Cochins.

A cochin can be kept in smaller
quarters and on less food than almost
any other fowl, bantams excepted.
They stand confinement wonderfully
well. [ wintered twenty in a coop
not big enough for more than seven,
according to our authority on houses,
and yet had eggs in abundance all
winter, and the fowls were free from
disease. A three-foot wire fence will
confne them, and they are very tame
and easily kept so. These things have
to be considered in the city. The
chicks are very hardy, grow quickly
and are plump and long bodied from
the day they are born. They are
ready for the table almost any time
after the eighth week. The fowls are
as good eating as any that ever grac-
ed our table, and better than many.

Charcoal for Fowls.

G. 0. Brown, the well-known poul-
try judge, tells in a contemporary
how to prepare charcoal to feed to
fowls, and gives it very high rec
ommendation as promoter of health
and preventive of disease.
1t is not necessary for anyone in
the West to go to any trouble to pro-
cure charcoal to feed to fowls. 1t can
be made at home out of corn. The
drier the corn is the better it will char
Put the ears in a baking pan in the
stove oven and let them remain until
the corn is burned crisp and black.
The fowls will eat it greedily, and it
is well to feed them a full feed of it
once week. This is especially good
for over-fed hens and for chicks that
have any tendency to bowel troubles.
For little chicks the corn should be
broken up before feeding.

The Cost and Production.

Foods are cheap only in proportion
as they reduce the cost and increase
the profits. If the hens do not lay, no
kind of food used can be considered
cheap; but if they produce eggs then
the food is cheap, no matter what it's
cost may be, as the capacity of con-
sumption on the part of a flock is linn
tied. If a hen lays two eggs week,
the first egg will about pay for the
grain food if prices are high. If the
hens can be made to lay three eggs
week the profits will be doubled,
though the hen performs only one
half the work additional Now, every
get that one extra egg week, as it
will make a great difference in the
profit from large flock. If a quart of
grain is reduced to one pint, and one
half pound of ground meat substitute
ed for the pint of grain removed, the
cost of the food will be but slightly
increased, but the effect on the fowls
may be an increase of eggs, because
they require substance not supplied
by the grain, but which is found in
the meat. The same rule applies to
clover hay. 1t contains a large pro-
portion of lime for the shells, and also
promotes digestion. 1t is cheap and
wholesome, and will cost even less
than grain. The majority of farm
ers content themselves with throwing
out mess of grain in winter, and
look for good results because they do
not neglect their fowls; but while the
grain assists in keeping them warm,
yet the successful farmers will be
those who use grain and give also a
variety of other foods to poultry.-Ex.

diet of green grass and succulent veg
etaibles with some meat. Do not feed
corn. Keep cool yourself, and do not
abuse the hens for following instinct.
If you are picking out breeders and
winners at the winter shows, remem-
Der that it is the youngster with long
legs and neck, and big, bony frame,
that grows to be the massive and
much admired exhibition bird. The
small-boned, blocky, precocious chick
never makes a large fowl, and rarely
gets on the list of prize winners.
