The Nerve of a Setting Hen.

Fire broke out shortly before noon
yesterday in shed in the rear Of $40
East Washington street, owned by Mr..
George Hoffman. The firemen saved a
life and prevented the fire from spread
ing. A setting hen occupied a nest in
one corner of the shed, and notwith-
standing the fact that she was drenched
with the chemical matter, she refused
to move. The fire was all about her,
and finally one of the men picked her
up and carried her, nest and all, into
the alley. The hen showed her disap-
prevail on the part of the fireman by
cackling loudly.-Indianap Sentinel.

DisinfectinS the Envoy,

When his excelle1 cy, Mr.. Chung, the
SPECIAL envoy from the emperor of Chi
ma to Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubi-
lee, arrived at Port Victoria, British
Columbia, it was found that there had
been smallpox on board, and the au-
thorities at once ordered the ship to
quarantine for tventy-four days, and
all the passengers to be fumigated.
Mr. Chung refused to submit to such
Insulting treatment. He said to fumi-
gate the envoy Was practically the fun
igating of the emperor of China land
the most awful crime that any mortal
could commit. The Canadian govern
nent, the British gOvcrEn ent and the
Chinese minister in London were all
appealed to, and the unfumigated en-.
voy was allowed to go free and carry
infection even to the Diamond Jubilee

A Stout RaclxhOue

Is as essential to physical health as to
political consistency. For weakness of
the back rheumatism and disorders of
the kidneys, the tonic and dietic action
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the
one thing needful. The stomach is the
mainstay of every other organ. and by
invigorating the digestion with this prep
aration, the spinal column, and all it's
dependencies, are sympathetically
strengthened. The dyspeptic and bilious
will find it pure vegetable stimulant
and tonic.

Berry Bushes in Summer.

All berry bushes should be protected
from summer heat and drouth. This
may be done in two ways. First. by
frequent cultivation and hoeing thus
forming an earth mulch, which pre-
vents the rapid. escape of moisture
from the soil. Second, by covering the
ground around the,hill with coarse ma
nure, straw and other material. which
prevents evaporation and retains the
moisture about the roots. One of the
best and cheapest mulches for the far
mer is green clover, cut in blossom and
applied same as manure. It is easily
applied, retains moisture, enriches the
soil, keeps the berries clean and con-
tains no germ of noxious weeds. A
good mulch well applied is one Of the
great necessities in successful II fruit
growing. When new canes Of the
blackberry and blackraspberry are
eighteen inches high, nip the ton of
about two inches; this will cause sew
eral new laterals to grow which should
be trimmed severely in the spring. The
pinching back OF new growth is i'm
portant. It largely increases the bear
ing surface, keeps the bush low, strong.
well formed and less liable to injury
from severe storms. NJ. "a. Thayer.

ness Transacted, Etc.
The Board OF County Commits
sioners held its last meeting last
Thursday the 31st; present, D. P.
Randall, Chairman; Greedy French
and G. w. Kneirim, Commissioners;
A. J. Lotus, Clerk; and John Lo-
throp, legal advisor.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were read, and after cor
rection approved.
A transfer of $143.83 was ordered
from the General to the Officers
Salary Fund.
The bondsmen of the late J. A.
Huntoon, defaulting Clerk and
Treasurer, appeared before the
Board in body and asked that
they be given further time to pay
or that the matter be postponed en-
tirely. 1t was argued that it would
bankrupt several of the bondsmen
to pay their part, that others could
not pay at all and the cost would
be greater than the benefit. After
some consideration the Board re-
scinded its action of bringing suit
and ordered the Legal Advisor to
dismiss the suits; and thus ends the
aggravated bond matter, in a man
ner, while contrary to all legality,
that will satisfy the great majority
of the people of Lyon County.
The reports of several township
officers were received, read and filed.
It was ordered that the Treasurer
advertise as required by law for the
surrender of 81, 500 of Lyon County
bonds of 1887, that being the amount
of money in the Interest and Re-
demption fund for this purpose at
the present time.
The bills examined, and allowed
will be found elsewhere in this issue.
The money in the Treasury was
counted and found to agree with
the report of the Auditor and Treas
urer-46, 438. OF this amount $780,.
174.99 is in receipts from the State
Treasurer. This leaves 500, 1858 in
the treasury in cash.
The Board made an order that
the Chairman be allowed $45 out of
the General Fund to pay the fare of
Jas. Mcknight to Idaho Springs,
Colorado.
A number of the new officers not
being able to present their bonds
to this Board, all bonds were laid
over for approval or rejecti by
the new Board.
There being no further business
to transact the Board adjourned
sine die, and sang the doxology.
