THE FIGHT AT VELESTINO.

ThesSaly, Pharsalos, May 6.-(Delayed
in transmission). The Greeks claim a
decisive victory in the fighting which
has. taken place here and at Velestino.
The Greek line was attacked by a
strong Turkish force of 20, 600 infantry
in addition to large forces of artillery
and cavalry. The Greek right wing
was in command of Colonel Mavro-
michails and the left wing was
commanded by Colonel Makris. Both
the Greek wings repulsed the Turks
with great slaughter.
The railroad station was destroyed
by Turkish shells, and railway com.
munication between this point and
NolO was interrupted.
1t is estimated that 1900 Turks were
killed at Velestino. The enemy also
abandoned a large number Of guns.
Preparations are being made with the
utmost activity for the decisive battle,
which seems inevitable for tomorrow.
The cheering from the Greek camp car
be clearly heard from here. The
morale of the Greek forces is now all
that could be desired.
A number of Turkish shells fell in
the town during the engagement,
which was fiercely contested by both
sides.
The Greek artillery occupied better
positions than the guns of the Turk.
and were we'll served.
Full credit is given to General Smol
enski for the victory at Velestino, anC
in some quartes it is claimed that thu
Turks have been finally repulsed il
that direction. This br however

Occasion of General ...i",cinx.
General Smolenski's victory was tn
occasion for great rejoicing here. Whel
the news was received the Greek troop
| cheered long and enthusiastically, aF
parently overlooking past reverses anc
being anxious for another brush witt
the enemy.
Prinse Constantine telegraphed III
congratulations to General Smolenski
and received a reply from the Gree
commander saying:
'Our success has been very brilliant

The crown prince has issued an arm,
order congratulating the troops o
showing themselves worthy Of tn
trust imposed in them by the country
1t is stated that Colonel Tertigi,
command of the Greek force at Gal
ditZa, has been recalled.
The fighting which is to take plac
in this vicinity will most likely tur
out to be the most interesting and d.
cisive of the whole campaign.
In spite of the difficulties which bot
sides have experienced with the
transport service, the two armies hay
had plenty Of time to prepare for I'll

TWO BIG MnLnRa
Minneapolis, Aug. 28.-C. A. Pi

Minneapolis, Aug. DC. A. Pills
bury gives out the following interview:
Substantially none of the present
wheat crop has been marketed. IA very
conservative estimate is that 12O, OOO, 600
are being harvested in Minnesota, and
the two Dakotas. Previous crops are
absolutely exhausted. The present rise
means $40, OOo, COO extra for farmers of
these three states. The present price is
not as high as the legitimate situation
warrants. A big crowd of farmers will
tumble over each other to sell at these
prices. This may cause temporary
reaction, but when the last rush is over
I see nothing but politicians can prevent
a big boom and prosperity, and we have
present reason to be thankful to Divine
Providence that our jingo congress is not
in session"
Ex-senator Washburn says: ''A large
proportion Of the winter wheat crop is
still in the hands Of the farmer, while the
entire crop Of spring wheat is in their
hands. and harvest only just begun. /

STOCK FIGURNs.
1, The following table shows the relative
number Of stock according to the assess
ment tables of 1895 and 1897.

In view Of the large amount of cattle
shipped out Of this. county since 1898 il
would be expected that the above table
would show q large decrease and yet Of
q total of {, ,227 cattle in 1895 there were
still 8. I'll left in May, 1897 or the small
net loss Of 6l6. There is notable fall
ing off in both sheep and swine, and the
figures may be worth the attention Of
breeders in this direction. One-sixth Of
the swine and nearly as many sheep are
missing this year. There are some odd
things in the decrease and increase in the
horse totals. First there is net loss of
586; a little more than the net loss of cat
tie, and there has been no expectation of
horses but there has been considerable
importation. Another peculiarly is the
immense comparative increase in ..2 year
olds." There were only 915 in 1895 and
during the year 617 were added, but not
withstanding the fact that the 916 1895
two year old would come under the three
year old class in 1897, yet the three year
old class decreased 95s, which would
necessarily infer that 1858 old horses died
or were sent out Of the country during
the year. Again in 1926 there were
LOO yearling colts; according to nature
these would be and become the two year
old class in 1897, but we find not only
the original ! COS but el7 more, which
looks as though something over6O3 colts
Were born two year olds in the twelve,
months previous to May, 1897. How
ever, statistics are queer things some
times and prove most anything, and we
leave it to our assessors to explain the
peculiar totals.

made the silver question the soleissue Of
their state campaign this year are very
blue now. The bottom ha, fallen out 81

they are left with nothing to support

MORE GOLD.

The cotton crop of Texas this year
will bring more gold than will be taken
from Alaskan mines in any one year be-
tween 1897 and judgment day.
The above paragraph is taken from the
Texas Weekly Citizen, published by our
former neighbor, Ed. H. Love. Mr..
Love is one Of the fellows that less than a
year ago said there was not enough money
in the country to do the business, and
that the prices of wheat and cotton would
never rise without increasing the currency
by free silver.

It is 8 great thing for the country, now
that there is an existing gold standard of
value, that while.we have an abundance
ofsilver, $52l, ,ooo, 900, inthe treasury, we
have so limited it that we have the use of
both money metals without fear of the
depreciation of either.

Upon What Basis?

From the Phludelphlu Record.
Commodore Singerly's Record advises
Pennsylvania Democrats to get together
in opposition to the Republican ma
chine" Upon what basis? That of the
Reading conVention?-ScTant0n Iruh
The Reading convention indicated
the basis on which Democrats might get
together this year. The Republican
party has so mismanaged the affairs Of
the state, has shown such a contempt for
common honesty, such disregard for
its own repeated pledges and such sub
servience to the will of political bosses
that it has laid basis of opposition upon
the part of all men who have an honor
able pride in the reputation of the com
monwealth and who are willing to do
what they can to bring about amend
ment.
Common interest, and a manly re-
sentiment for the common injury, ought
to impel every voter in Pennsylvania in
November to vote against the Republi-
can nominees. The Republican candi-
dates are themselves popular mon; but
the party behind them must be Judged
by its records, and the record is abomin-
| able. To endorse the candidates is to
condone past rascalities and to invite
new rascalities. Can the people of
Pennsylvania afford to do so?
The Reading convention made the
mistake of introducing into its platform
irrelevant issues of federal politics which
need not and should not be now con-
sidered. The state treasurer and the
auditor general have nothing to do with
the currency of the country nor the
management of the mints. A man
would be considered fool who,
when burglar was breaking into his
house, shoud hesitate about using his
shotgun until he had found out what
were the views of the intruder on the
monetary question. What better will
be thought Of the voter in Pennsylvania
who this year hcsitates to use his ballot
for the defeat of the corrupt party that
has brought disgrace upon the good
name of the state because of issues that
are not at stake in the contest?
No party since the foundation of the
state was ever invested with such abso-
lutte power to do as it pleased as the Re
publican party. No party ever before
abused the popular confidence. To turn
| this corrupt aggregation neck and heels
out of power should be the aim of every
honest citizen. Republicans should aid
in doing it as means of purgation.
Democrats should join in the work as a
matter of principle and of conscience

PAPER RAILROAD RAILS.
Their Composition Includes Several
Kinds of Pulp stock.

Their Composition Includes Several
Kinds of Pulp stock.
American manufacturers, encouraged
by the fact that paper railroad rails
have been successfully introduced in
Germany and Russia, are experimenting
along the same lines. Paper car wheels
have given satisfaction for many years,
and results so far attained Indicate that
rails made from the same material will
be equally desirable. Metal rails are
always more or less affected by atmos-
pheric conditions, and accidents are fire.
quently due to warptng, expansion or
contraction of rails Heavy rolling
stock requires extraordinarily large and
heavy rails, and they cannot be made
very long or their weight would be too
much. Paper rails are less than one
halflighter for the same length ard size,
hence the length can be twice that of an
iron or steel rail. This obviates the use
of so many bolts and connections, and
relieves the wheels of just so many
shocks.
The composition includes several va
rieties of paper pulp stock Wood pulp
has not been tried with any marked
success as yet. Care is taken TO have
the stock uniform in preparation, and
the fibers we'll preserved. Quantities
of boraX, paratfin wax, tanners grease,
waterproof fish glue, rosin and fine
cement are added, in necessary proper
tions, to the pulp, while warm, that the
rail may be tough and elastic. Mixing
follows. Next a quantity of shellac and
wood alcohol is stirred in and the mass
allowed to settle. The rails can be bent
for curves, are strong, elastic anI
lighter and longer and easier for the
wheels and cars than those made of
metal. Their cost is said to be 80 per
cent. less than that of steel.-Chicago

be spared from year to year, will soon
make as pretty and comfortable a home

What n Collision Means.

A man of $50 pounds weight, and
moving at the rate of ten feet per sec
ond (about seven miles an holr), has Il
momentum of 1900 pounds. without
counting the weight Of his wheel. This
is sufficient to have a surprising effect
on the ordinary pedestrian. A cot
lision between two 15o-pound riders
wheeling at the moderate rate of seven
miles an hour would result in smash
up with force of 5000 pounds. No
wonder bicycle accidents are often Sc
rious!
