CIVIL SERVICE LEAGUE.
Carl Schurz Reelected President-Ahe
Resolutions Adopted.

Resolutions Adopted.
Cincinnati, Dec. IS. - The National
Civil Service Reform league reelected
Carl Schurz president by acclamation
The report of the committee on reso-
lutions, which reported through it's
chairman, Charles j. Boz aparte, of Bal
timore. was adopted as follows:
"a The National Civil Service Reform
league. assembled in this. its seventeenth
annual meeting, reminds the country of
the specific and emphatic pledges of the
last republican national convention thor
oughly and honestly to enforce the pres
ent federal civil service law. and to ex-
tend its operation wherever practica bic.
The league confidently expects from the
president and demands from every re-
publican senator and representative
faithful fulfillment of this distinct and
solemn pledge.
% The league denounces any attempt on
the part of republican members of either
house of congress to repeal the law or
embarrass it's administration. or any mod
itication of it's provisions. except to the
end that the merit system of selection
for public officers and employees may be
extended and personal or partisan favorit-
ism in their choice more thoroughly Grad
icated, and declares such attempts not
only unpatriotic and unwise. but gross and
shameful breaches of party faith of which
no man of honor would be guilty.
49, The league recognizes in the order of
President Mckinley, forbidding removals
in the classified service unless for good
cause and after due notice to the per-
son accused, wise and just measure. fully
Endorsed by an enlightened public opinion,
and it demands for this order fair con-
struction and practical enforcement, with
adequate punishment for any officials VINO
may disobey or seek TO evade is provi-

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Understanding permits the air and
warmth to penetrate 10 the roots Of
plants.
Always use sufficient bedding in the
stables to absorb and save All Of the
liquid manure.
When a farmer buys a thing that he
can produce as cheaply, he is running
opposition to himself.
Common red clover and orchard
grass do well together, because they
ripen at about the same time.
Make, save and apply all of the
manure possible. II is the poorest Of
economy TO allow manure to 60 to
waste on the farm and try commercial
fertilizers.

FISH FARMING PAYS.
Kansas Mnn Gives the Results OF
His Experiences.


The Rural World has on many occa-
sions said that an acre of water devoted
to fish culture would bring much larger
returns than ifdevoted to general farm
ing. Mr.. Lyons, of Kansas. has been
raising fish and has ponds devoted to
them, as well as furnishing ice for win
ter. Many of the fish live on crawfish
and other natural food about the ponds.
But that is not sufficient to supply the
vast number there now Mr.. Lyons
feeds them corn. lie grinds il by steam
power and then steams the meal Five
bushels Of this ground steamed corn is a
feed for each Of the two principal ponds.
On il the fish thrive. and there are now
many there that will weigh as much as
30 or 80 pounds. Mr. Lyons watches
them as one would herd of cattle, is
as careful about them as the most par
ticular stockman. He studied their ma
ture and knows what TO do with them
under varying circumstances. He
works with them day and night. when
ever they need attention. a careful esti-
mate of the supply there now. made by
experienced men, puts il at 80 tons.

two inches long with hole in center
for lingbolt which has head on low
er end and a hole for pin in the upper
end. The front end of the platform can
be raised or lowered by using washers
on top of front axle. A one-half inch
iron rod with loops in each end, one
end on the kingbolt, the other bolted on
top of platform, is to pull by. The
front end has to be kept up TO under

into a cross-piece three feet long and
braced with iron braces. The tongue is
fastened to front axle by eye bolts. On
the tongue just back of evener is bolted
an old mower spring with seat so that a
man in the seat will nearly balance the
tongue. Use the evener for foot rest.
We use it to cut all of our corn for

the score.

Mr. William Sewers, of Bradford, Ohio,
was cured by SIS. ten years ago of
severe blood poison, and writes that to
this day no sign of the dreadful disease
has ever returned. He says:
81 had terrible blood disease which
is considered incurable, and was treated
for long time by the best physicians,
but they did me no good. The disease
seemed to get firmer hold on me, and
attacked my tongue and throat, which
were soon full of vile ulcers.
81 changed doctors several times, and
afterwards took nearly every blood rem
edy on the market, without the slightest
benefit. After FIVE years of treatment
which did me no good whatever, was
induced to try S.S.S. This remedy
proved itself equal to the case, for in
few months was entirely cured and my
skin was perfectly clear and smooth.
/ could hardly believe that the cure was
permanent, but ten years have elapsed
and no sign of the disease has yet APP
peared."
S.S.S. is a sure cure for Cancer, Ca
tarrh, Contagious Blood Poison, Scrof-
u1a, Rheumatism, Eczema, and all other
blood diseases, which other remedies
have no effect whatever upon. 1t is

No
Theory Here.

The greatest claims for S SIS. (Swift's
Specifc) are made by those whom it has
cured, and after ali the most valuable
reputation is one which is given by those
who speak from experience. We could
publish page of what we claim S. SIS.
Will do, but the people prefer to read
OF what 1t has done, and hence we give
the testimony OF reputable, well-known
people in different parts of the country,
who gladly tell of how SIS. has cured
them of blood diseases, after trying
other treatment in vain
No wonder SIS. has such staunch
friends. The experience of those who
take it to-day will be the same as of
those who twenty years ago found it the
only cure. Blood diseases are obstinate,
and cannot be cured by one medicine
in dozen which claims to cure them;
SO when SIS. is taken with satisfactory
results, after a disappointing expert
euce with other remedies, it is not
strange that it has grateful friends by
the score.
