The marble tablet that rested in
the south wall of the ladies' wait
ing room Of the Baltimore and Po-
tomac Railway Company's depot
At Washington, and the brass star
placed in the tiled flooring Of the
apartment to mark for all time the
spot on which President Garfield
fell when assassinated, have been
removed. That spot is now marked
only by piece Of red thing, which
would pass unnoticed except by
those familiar with the place and
with the tragedy enacted there.
1t is said that the change was the
result of much complaint on the
part Of the travelling public Of hav-
ing the horrors Of the assassination
constantly recalled to their mind
when going through the depot or
waiting for trains.

A Knockout Blow.

The members of the W0man's
Christian Temperance Union have
issued an appeal to President Nc
Kinley, and to the Governors of
all the States, requesting them to
prohibit the reproduction by means
Of the microscope or kindred in
struments of the Corbett- Fitzsim-
mons fight, or of any like exhibit
ton at any future time. If this
request is universally granted, the
pugilists and the kaleidoscope man
will be out Of pocket about $780,
600, and the people will be de-
prived of the privilege of seeing
a life-like reproduction of how the
pugs punched each other in the
eve and on the jaw, and the de-
livery of the knockout blow under
the heart.

How to Prevent the
Spread Of Smallpox.

The natives of Ixtlan, Mexico,
have adopted an effective way Ia
prevent the spread of smallpox in
their town. The first man to take
the disease was the Mayor Of the
town, and the Indians concluded
that the place to stop it was at the
fountainhead. They appointed exc
cutioners, who went to the Mayor
house and beat him to death, and
then set fire to the house and burned
it and every thing in it, intending
the body of the murdered man.
When the State officials went to
inquire into the matter it was i'm.
possible for them to gain any infor'
nation, as the whole town wa
leagued together and would moi
give the names Of any of the par
Elephants in the crime.

Secretary Wilson, who is now in
charge Of the Department of Agri-
culture, has been devoting himself
for years to higher agricultural
education, and a. President of the
Iowa Agricultural College aud Elk
pertinent Station at Ames, he has
been conducting experiments in
sugar beet culture, to which he
has given great attention, and
which may have been the cause, to
some extent, of his being called
into the Cabinet by President Nc
Kinley. President Mckinley is
said to be deeply impressed with the
possibilities of redeeming Ameri-
can agriculture from its present
depressed condition by rapid de-
velopment of the beet sugar indus
try in the Western States, and
when Professor Wilson was called
to Canton for an interview with
the President, it was understood
that Mr.. Mckinley had this par
ticular subject then under discus
sion.

Ten Commandments Law.

A bill was introduced in the
Kansas House last week by Repre-
sentative Walters, of Labette
county, entitled Gan act to give
statutory force to the ten command
ments." The text of the bill il as
follows: ssWhereas, the men Of
the present generation have become
doubters and scoffers; and whereas.
they have strayed from the religion
of their fathers; and whereas, they
no longer live in the fear of God;
and whereas, having no fear of
punishment beyond the grave, they
wantonly violate the law given the
world from Mount Sinai; therefore,
be it enacted by the Legislature of
the State of Kansas. Here follow
the ten commandments, each COM
mandment being made = section.
Sec. IL provides that any man who
shall violate any of the provisions
of the act shall be fined $1,000 for
worshiping any other God; $1,000
and one year in the penitentiary
for bowling down before a craven
image; $500 for taking the name
of the Lord in vain or for violating
the Sabbath; $500 fine for refusing
to honor thy father and mother;
hanging for murders, penitentiary
for life for adultery, fine and inn
prisonment at the discretion of the
court for violating commandments
8, 9 and 10 which refer to theft,
bearing false witness, and covet-
ing thy neighbor's house and GER
tain chattels. This, says . CORE
spondent, is Representative Wal
ter's maiden effort in the way of
measures for the public good, and
he will devote his time during the
rest Of the session to have it made
. law,

The Dingley Bill.

The New York Herald publishes
a scathing review of the new tar
id bill, now before the House, and
framed by the Republican Ways
and Means Committee, from which
we extract the following:
That the Dingley bill, present
condition considered, is the most
ultra protective tariff ever proposed
to be enacted in this country plainly
appears from Chairman Dingley's
statement that if levied on the i'm
portations Of the last fiscal year il
would have increased the revenue
$ll2, 900, 900; that is to say, il
would have gathered from an i'm
portation of s775,724,264 of i'm
ported merchandise the enormous
sum Of $4,000, 900, which il
nearly fifty millions more than
any customs revenue ever collected
in one year in this country IN the
past. And to say that its rates
will probably check dutiable I'M
ports to the extent of reducing the
estimate Of 100000 is only
another way of saying that to that
extent such rates are prohibltory.
American consumers are shut IN
the home market, to be preyed up
on by combinations and trusts,
without possibility Of relief from
outside competition. Such combi'
nations, by joining to keep nj
prices and to curtail production,
wage more merciless war against
the employment, opportunities ant
the compensation of American
labor than any possible competition
from abroad could do.

A Cure For Hog Cholera.

Every paper in the United States
ought occasionally to keep the fact
before its readers, that burnt corn
is sure and speedy cure for hog
cholera. The best way is to make
q pile of corn on the cob, effectu-
ally scorch it, and then give the
hogs free access to it. This reme-
dy was discovered by K. +. Locke,
ESQ.,, at the time his distillery was
burnt in this county, together with
. large quantity of store corn,
which was 30 much injured as to
be unfit for use, and was hauled
out, aud greedily eaten by the hogs,
several of which were dying daily.
After the second day not . single
hog was lost, and the disease en-
tirely disappeared. The remedy
has been tried in . number of cases
since. and never failed.-lewis.

the south is absolutely sure Of
having the benefit Of the general
advance in values that is gradually
taking place and which in the very
nature Of things must continue un-
til real estate values in the south
reach = level with those of the
north. At present such lands a.
command from 80 70 100 dollars

be bought in the south for from
ten to thirty dollars per acre, and
these conditions are rapidly being
changed aud prices equalixed by

Of the one and the popularity OF
