POLITICAL MISCELLANY.

Nobody seems to be uttering word
of regret at the final departure of the
Wilson law from the statute books Of
the country.
Mr. Bryan is not repeating his
little Joke about the absence Of Gen
eral Prosperity these days. Nor is
he saying anything about wheat and
silver keeping pace with each other
in the markets of the world.
The recent call for conference of
silver leaders is understood to be for
the purpose Of deciding how they
shall explain the fact that wheat has
advanced rs cents per bushel while
silver has fallen 10 cents per ounce.
The Democratic assertion that trusts
and a protective tariff go hand in
hand is somewhat weakened by the
fact that trusts never hourished in
the United States as they did during
the three years Of the late Democratic
tariff, which has happily passed.
The managers OF the silver party
have called off ex-candidate Bryan,
pending further developments II
silver continues to go down they re-
cognize the fact that they will have to
find a new hobby, and they think il
unwise for Bryan to harp on the
silver string any longer.
Those silver Senators who have
Just left for the Orient to study the
silver question should make haste in
the accomplishment of their task
Japan has already gone to the gold
standard and if China should take the
same step while they are there, il
would be embarrassing TO them.
Last years anxiety of the silvei
orators about the dear farmer should
be allayed by present conditions. o
course, the silver orators were sincere
in their wishes for the farmers vel
fare, and now there is no class of mer
in the United States who are so pros
porous today as the farmers.

TIME: AN ALLEGoRY.

Morn calleth fondly to fair boy stray
ing
Mid golden meadows, rich with clov-
er dew;
She calls but he still thinks naught save
playing,
And 80 she smiles and waves him an
adieu.
Whilst he, still merry with the flowery
store,
Thinks not that morn returns no more.
Noon cometh, but the boy to manhood
growing,
Heeds not the time-he sees but one
sweet form,
One fair, young face from bower of jasa-
mine glowing,
And all his loving heart with bliss is
warm.
SO noon, unnoticed, seeks the western
shore,
And man forgets that noon returns no
more.
Night tappeth gently at a easement
cleaning
With the dim freight faint and low,
BY which gray-haired man is sadly
dreaming
OF pleasures gone, as all life's pleas
ures go.
Night calls him, and at once he leaves
his door,
Silent and dark and he returns no more

The readers Of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the foundation
OF the disease, and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work. The

riding Poultry Diseases.

Most of the diseases that affiict poul
try are the effects of u%nsanitary sur
roundings and due entirely to the care
Iessness or indifference of keepers.
Naturally poultry is o sickly, and if
given proper care will keep in good
health without being dosed with any
drugs or nostrums of any kind. The
writer has had a good many years of
experience in poultry keeping, and in
all that time has never fouAd it neces-
sary to give any great amount of medi-
cine to his focks. Pure f. ed, pure wa
ter, comfortable quarters and cleanli-
ness in all the surroundings of the flock
will insure its health and thrift. The
poultry keeper who has bad luck" with
his flock and finds it dwindling away
from the effect of disease is nine times
out of ten receiving the just penalty
for some of his sins of omission.-Farm.

sheep as Scavengers.

A few sheep a be kept very cheaply
IN every farm, for they will eat much
that other stock will not touch. The
sheep is, however, very delicate in it's
taste, so far as refusing what is unclean-
ly. But its taste is different from that
of other animals. Sheep will eat green
and bitter fruit that falls early. which
no pig can be starved into eating. 1t is
an excellent stock to prevent land grow
ing up with bushes, as it browses down
nearly everything that grows. In the
winter sheep will thrive on bean fodder.
taking to it naturally, while other
stock, if they will eat it, can only be
taught to do so.-American C%ultiEatox.
The Cape Girardeau Democrat. (Cape Girardeau, Mo.) 1876-1909, 1897-03-13

In every section of this country there is
more or less land lying idle and bringing the
owner but little in the way of revenue. As
the country gradually becomes more thick
ly settled, taxes on real estate grow high
er and the burden from carrying unproduc-
ing or waste land more irksome. 1t is good
business to make every foot of land yield
something to help bear its share of the ex-
penses of the farm. This may be done in
several ways. That land which is too wet
for the pillow may be ditched or tile drained,
and thus be brought under cultivation and
production. A more difficult task will be
encountered, however, in clearing up tim
berland, in removing trees, stumps, grubs,
etc, etc. For this purpose several machines
have been put upon the market, but none
are better than that made by the Milne
Manufacturing Co., 742 Eighth St, Mon
mouth, Ill, a thoroughly responsible firm,
whose advertisement appears in this paper.
They manufacture the Hawkeye Grub and
Stump machine in several sizes, and guar
antee it to pull stumps or grubs, and to pull
up trees of ordinary size. This machine, I'M
like others, does not need to be moved for
every stump, but will clear out a circle Of
two acres at one sitting. Write this firm

GREEKS IN CHICAGO

anxious to Return to Their Native Country
for Service Against the Turk-The Oues-
ton OF transportation the Only Serious
One to BE Considered-Financial Aid
Sought from Greek Consulates.
CHICAGO, March S.-Five hundred
Greeks in this city are eager to respond
to the call to arms issued yesterday by
NJ. Skouzes, Greek minister of foreign
affairs, and every effort is being made
to get funds to carry the Athenians to
their native soil. A mass meeting was
held in the Greek church yesterday
afternoon, at which fiery speeches
were made. Father Fiambolis, who,
w weeks age, stirred the Greeks of
the city by an eloquent appeal in be-
half of the ~fatherland, presided at
yesterdays meeting. He told his coun-
trymen that it was first necessary to
get money, as lack of means stood in
their way.
The Greek headquarters on Dearborn
street was swarming with the Hellenes
last light who are anxious to leave at
once to enter in the fight against the
Turk. Some of them are subject to
military duty in their native land. but
most of them belong to the reserve force.
Two hundred and fifty have already
enlisted and stand in readiness to leave
at a days notice if the necessary funds
can be secured. Many of those who
are able are willing to pay their own
way to Greece, but the great majority
are without money. The headquarters
was kept open late last night to give
the fighters an opportunity to enlist.
1t Is asserted tina an army of 500 will
leave this city alone if the perpleXing
problem of funds can be overcome.
When it was learned that a call had
been made to the Greeks in America by
the Greek minister of foreign affairs,
a hurried call was sent out to as many
of the Athcnians as could be reached
and at seven o'clock in the evening 80
of them had assembled in the Greek
church. The work of organizing and
enlisting was Immediately begun. y
committee was appointed to call upon
Charles l.. Hutchinson. the Greek con-
sui in this city, to ask him if there was
any money to send the reserves back to
Greece. He had received no inStruc-
tiOns, however, and said he had nc
money for the purpose.
When the committee reported this
to the meeting it IA determined to
telegraph COnsul-General BotasSi. of
New York, regarding funds. The tel
gram set forth that 800 Greeks in Chi-
cago We're ready to start at once ii they
could be provided with mean for
transportation. No reply has as yet
been received. and it is thought that
the consul general may have first ca
bled the Greek minister of foreign af-
fairs before giving his answer.
Nearly every Greek in Chicago, who
is not too old, is anxious to go to the
assistance of Greece said Nicholas
Peppas, a prominent leader of the
Greek forces in this city. Money,
however, is needed, as but few are able
to provide their own transportation.
We hope that the consul general in
New York can help us in this regard"

WILL REFUSE TO OBEY
And a Bloody Struggle Observation-Disclosures
Troops Enthusiastic.

CANEA, March SIT is believed here
hat the answer of Greece to the de-
mands of the powers will be a refusal
to obey, and hat a bloody struggle Is
therefore inevitable unless the powers
recede from their position. 1t is known
that Col. VaSsos, the commander of
the Greek army of occupation. has re-
ceived instructions from King George
to hold all the positions in the island
now occupied by the Greek troops, and
to prepare to resist to the bitter end
any attempt on the part of anybody to
dislodge him.
Information reaches here that the
Greek troops are enthusiastic over the
determination of their king not to
order their withdrawal from the island,
and it is believed it would take a far
stronger force than their own to dis
lodge them from the strategic positions
occupied. The events of the next few
DAYS are anXiOuSly awaited.

GREECE'S REPLY.
win Leave the Door Open for Further Ne
gotiations.


LONDON, March S.-The Daily News
claims to be able to announce that
there is every hope of a speedy, salts
factory and peaceful solution OF the
Cretan trouble. 1t adds that Grcece,S
reply to the note of the powers will,
by stating her reaSon leave the door
open for further negotiations, though
she will not accept the conditions laid
down by the powers.
The paper gives discursively the
probable terms of the reply, which are
similar to those contained in the dis.
patch to the Central News.
A Constantinople dispatch to the
Daily News says it is understood that
Greece is willing to withdraw her fleet
from Cretan waters, but suggests that
her troops remain in the island to as
