Boston BettOrs Influenced by Re

Boston, Mass, Feb. 23.-Betting on the
Corbett- FitzsimnIons fight was eXtTemel J
tight today. very few wasers being made
FitzsinnIons' stock, however, took an up
ward turn, and betting is becoming nIo&
even. The prevailing odds have changed
from o to to 10 TO 3 and are apt 10
be almost even before March l. Several
private kilograms received at the Quincy
House and at the Columbia tend to show
that CQrbett's condition is not what it
might be. The betting changed on these
kilograms, and also from New York re-

Don't Waste Plant Food.

If you feed in stable don't throw
manure out daily under the caves Of
the barn and the water from the roof.
Perhaps some of you would hardly
believe it, but have seen many barns
where this wasteful practice is followed
vet. Don't throw the horse manure
out of windows or doors into careless
pile. This is an almost universal GUS
tom. The valuable plant food, half
the value or more, is washed out of the
cattle manure under the caves, and
most of the nitrogen goes into the air
from the loose, heating pile of horse
manure. OftentimeS one could make
money faster than he did in summer,
by simply getting wheelbarroW and
wheeling out the cattle manure, and
making pile away from the barn and
surface wash. Make the pile broad and
flat, and if you can wheel the horse
manure to the same place and spread
it in thin layers on the same pile,
along with the other manure, you
save it in the best manner. 1t can be
saved by itself, however, by sprinkling
and tramping. l used to put rubbing
posts on our manure pile out in the
yard, so the cattle would 60 up on it
and tramp it for me. And then l
always shovelled it up around the
edges before rain, to prevent loss.
Twenty-seven years ago [ bought a
wheelbarrow, and began doing just
what I have advised above. Had [
waited until we could build large
manure shed and cement floors, as we
have now, before trying to save the
manure, we probably never would
have had these improvements. b.

SAN JUAN POST OFFICES.
A Friday Harbor Especial" to the
acknowledgement, under date of Aug.

A Friday Harbor tspeciaP' to the
Post-Intelligencer, under date of Aug.
ust 81, says:
| Senator Wilson spent an hour here to-
day trying to get at the merits, assuming
| That there are some, of the factional fight
for the postoffice. He seems to have been
pretty well posted upon it before he came
mere, and the additional particulars that
ne obtained appear to have confirmed him
IN his determination not to indorse any
| one of the present applicants. John l..
Murray has an exceptionally strong party
Endorsement, and expected to secure the
appointment several months ago, but
there has been so much delay and so
much feeling manifested about it that he
| says he no longer cares for the place. The
other two candidates, though excellent
men personally, have no just claims upon
the office from political standpoint, one
OF them at least, having openly opposed a
part of the ticket last fall. The senator
has suggested that the leading Republi-
cans endeayor to get together" and agree
of The ISLANDER, has been asked to take
1t, but has not accepted, though he has
the matter under adviSement.

man OF the county central committee, an

held by Democrats ever since it was es-
tablished twenty years ago. There will
doubtless be an early change also Rich
ardson and probably at Lopez"
What the dispatch says in reference
to Mr.. Murray's endorsement is strict
ly true. While he has not had the
strongest local support in point of num-
bers, he has been strongly supported
by the party organization and by the
most Jealous workers for the whole
Republican ticket last fall. His friends
have not swerved in their allegiance to
him and would still be glad to have
him take the office. The manager of
THE ISLANDER has made no effort
whatever to obtain it and will not con-
slider it for moment so long as there
is any possibility of Mr.. Murray's ap-
pointment and acceptance; and even
then he will make no effort to obtain it
against any other good Republican
who may be able to secure the support
of the leading Republican patrons of
the office. The present postmaster's
term will expire in a few weeks and
meanwhile it is to be hoped that some
amicable agreement may be reached as
to his successor.

Good County Roads.

The good roads movement has every
intelligent practical argument upon its
side. The farmer needs good roads for
the protection of his draft animals and
rolling stock, and the increase of his
profits in marketing his crops without
delay and loss; the wheelmen need
them for their pleasure and convent
ence, and to protect their machines
from unnecessary wear and tear; the
community needs them as an adjunct
to its business, and the state needs them
as auxiliary to its progress. When it is
considered that the science of road
building is practically unknown in ru-
raj communities; that patchwork is the
rule, and substantial construction the
exception, and that patching costs
more, in the long run, than systematic
building, and never makes good roads,
we may cease to wonder what becomes
of the money collected as road taxes,
and to come to realize the tremendous
waste of our haphazzard system of
roadmaking.- Oregonian

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea

A Remarkable Cure of Chronic Diarrhoea.
In 1862, when I served my country
as a private in Company A, 18th
Pennsylvania Volunteers, contracted
chronic diarrhea. 1t has given me a
great deal of trouble ever since. I have
tried a dozen different medicines and
several prominent doctors without any
permanent relief. Not long ago a
friend sent me sample bottle OF
Chamberlaln's Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhma Remedy, and after that l
bought and took so cent bottle; and
now l can say that 1 am entirely cured.
I cannot be thankful enough to you
for this great Remedy, and recommend
it to all suffering veterans. If in doubt
write me. Yours gratefully, HENRY
