MRS, SHERMAN PARALYZED
All of One Side is Affected and Speech
is Cons

washington, Oct. 14-Mrs. Sherman,
wife Of former Secretary of State John
Sherman, is suffering from stroke of
paralysis and now lies at her K street
home in a very critical condition. While
unattended in the bath room she was
stricken with paralysis and fell to the
floor unconscious. Mr.. Sherman, who
was in an adjoining apartment heard
her fall and immediately summoned the
servants.
DR.. w. w. Johnston and DR.. Frank
Hyatt responded to the call for physi-
clans and remained with Mrs. Sherman
almost constantly. The stroke has af-
fected her entire right side. and even in
brief periods of consciousness she is IN
able to speak.
At one time during the night Mrs.
Sherman evidently recognized her hus-
band, who has been constantly at her
bedside since she was stricken.

ALL TRAINS SEARCHED.
An Engineer Gets a Bad Scare at vir-
den.

Virden, Ill, Oct. 14.-Col. Young's IL
Hnois cavalry today relieved Battery
B of guard duty in the city. Col. Young,
as ranking officer, will be in command
of all troops here, but will not assume
his duties until he has looked the ground
over and held a consultation with the
mine officials and Captains Craig and
Febfer, who have been in command
since troops were first ordered here
All trains with freight or pasSeng gers
stopping here are carefully searched for
negroes. Two hundred members of the
First cavalry and Third infantry IN
der command of Col. Young are here
today and ITS more are expected before
night, these with the 128 men in the
GaIeSburg battery and Elgin company
of the Sons of Veterans will give Col.
Young a force Of over 500 men.
The arrival of Col. Young's command
that the negroes viii be kept out at all
hazards. The town presents a most
military aspect today. Soldiers are
met everywhere, even out in the most
lonesome streets on the outskirts of
town Some of the militia men were in
anything but happy frame of mind
as they had been on duty nearly twelve
hours without anything to eat.
The commfssary department of Col
1oung command were on lively
hunt for bread and bacon. 1t appears
that their rations in some unexplained
manner were left behind at Springfield
local baker.
There are only two small bakeries in the
town and they have been badly rushed
during the last two days on account of
the large number of outsiders who have
arrived here.
a bad scare was given the engineer on
a freight train going north today Ap-
parently the freight had orders not to stop
at Nlrden, as they were going at very
nigh rate of speed inside the yards Sud
denly there was a loud report from tor
pedo on the tracks, signal that is used
by the militia to bring the trains to a
either
hear the report or decided to go ahead and
pay no attention to it, for the train quick
~ gathered speed. Quickly there came
another report and this time it was from
a couple of Springfield rifles in the hands
OF the soldiers on the depot platform.
This time there was no doubt that the
signals would be observed, as the engineer
with very white face threw the throttle
over and applied the brakes in such a
manner as to leave no doubt that he was
willing to obey orders. After the cars
had been searched the train was allowed
to continue on its journey north

TO know these restrictions. Very often,
because OF lack of knowledge on such
points, our people expect too much OF
our presidents and criticise them when
they do not deserve criticism.
In paragraphs subsequent to the one
quoted the constitution provides that
the congress shall have power "to raise
and support armies, but no appropria-
ton of money to that use shall be for q
longer term than two years; to pro-
vide and maintain navy; to make rules
for the government and regulation Of
the land and naval forces; to provide
for calling forth the militia; TO provide
for organizing, arming and disciplin-
ing the militia, and for governing such
part of them as may be employed in
the service of the United States"
1t will thus be seen that the bulk of
the power in matters warlike IS congti-
tutionally reserved for the congress,
and the president is designated to eX-
ecute the laws and regulations which
must be made by congress. OF course,
when war is in progress, and the con-
gress has made declarations and pro-
visions, all power for the execution of
the laws must rest with the president,
because he is the chief executive otli-
Ger Of the republic. But the people
ought not to suppose, nor imagine, that
the president of the United States is IN
any sense Of the word dictator. Heis,
after all, the servant of the people;
their august representative of power.
Believing that it was wise in time of
peace to prepare for war, the congress
during the past two years has appropri-
ated $20,O00,00O for seacoast dcfenses
alone. The congress oppropriatcs
money, but the congress cannot eX-
pend the money. Under the direction
of the president all moneys are eN-
pended. 1t was the president, through
the secretary Of war, who expended
$50 100000 for coast defenses. These
defenses consist not only of fortifica-
tons and big guns and ammunition,
but also of submarine defenses, such
as hidden torpedoes and explosive
mines, which would wreck the largest
and strongest battleships afoat.
The congress has appropriated many
millions of dollars during the past is
years for the purpose of providing and
maintaining navy, as the constitution
requires. All of those millions were
expended by the president, through the
secretary Of the navy. And now this
republic has navy which equals the
navy of any country with which we
might become engaged in hostilities.
1t will be observed that the congress
has the power ito provide for calling
forth the militia" Although the con-
gress has "to provide" for calling forth
the militia, it rests with the president
to call upon the militia, after the con-
gress has made provision for them. In
the event Of war our country will de-
pend upon the militia to fill the ranks
of the infantry and cavalry regiments,
and our regular army will be largely
distributed into the artillery branch Of
the service. The president will cal
upon the governors of the various
states and the governors will call out

1t is usually the inactive breeds of
fowls which at this season show the eff
fects of indigestion by laying eggs with
soft shells The remedy is to make
them scratch among straw and chafr
for the grain they get, and mingle with
this enough lime in some form to make
the material for their shells. They
should also be well supplied with
gravel, MS this is necessary to enable
them to grind the food in their crops.
Such hens are almost always too fat,
which is usually sign that their feed
has been largely corn. which is fat
tening and is besides very poor egg
producer.

THE FARMERS POULTRY,
1t Never Received SO Much Attention
as 1t Does at Present.

1t Never Received so Much AItentlOh
as 1t Does at Present.
Poultry on the farm never received
so much attention as is now being given
to it. Not so very long ago those farm
ers who paid particular attention to
poultry were looked upon as being
"cranlis" and wasting lot of time
on work that the women should be al
lowed to attend to. These men were
wiser than their generation, and 10
them the poultry industry owes much.
They built good poultry houses, took
care of the chicks, provided proper
food and made money out of their
hocls; and others, becoming convinced
that it pays to take good care of hens,
followed in their footsteps until now
the man who neglects the hens is the
one who creates remark,
There is no doubt that the hens, have
helped out many Il farmer during the
years of depression, and now they are
more profitable than ever before.
1t is not necessary for the farmer to
start out as a poultry fancier in order
to make success of his poultry, but the
one who begins by taking good care of
the poultry he already has will, before
very long, be looking after pure-bred
stock, because he will want to get the
greatest profit, and will become con-
vinced that pure-bred poultry is SUI
perior to any mongrel stock he may
have.
One breed is enough for farm, and
when all the hens look alike the flock
is much more attractive than it would
be if made up of mixed colors.
White Plymouth Rocks, Barred Ply
mouth Rocks or White Wyandottes are
all good breeds for the farmer. They
are easily bred to uniform color and are
the best all-round fowls we have,
Brahmas, light and dark, Houdans, Leg
horns or Langshans are all good fowls
and are probably the best for the farm
err who gives good care to his focks.-

HINTS FOR SToCKMEN.

Horses are often choked down by a
too tight-fitting collar, Always have
the collar fit.
The swine that are sheltered from
winds and cold eat less food and make
better gains.
The horse that has been eating dry
feed all winter would likely be bene-
flied by good purge.
The hog is just as appreciative of
kindness as any animal, but very often
gets little petting.
The druggist can make you a blister
or put you up medicine for any ordi-
nary animal disease.
If feeding places in winter are shell
tered cattle will eat ten per cent. less
feed and do ten per cent. better.
The horse that is paid to keep, UNI
less you can find removable cause for
the trouble, should be got rid of.
One seasons experience with clover
pasture and the swine breeder would
never be without one in summer.
Wolf teeth do not cause blindness, we
would say to an inquirer. Dentitior
will often affect the eye temporarily.
Leaving nails or splinters where an
animal in the stall can be injured by
them is very careless piece of bust.

PROBABLE TREACHERY.
The Maine Moved from Its First Anchor
age to the Buoy Where the EEplO-
sion Took Place.

WASHINGTON, March 90. 1T is learned
that the real significance of the report
of the naval board of inquiry has not
vet been indicated. The report states
that the harbormaster of the port of
Havana testified that the Maine was
moved from the place where it was
first anchored to the buoy over the
spot where the explosion took place.
Whether the mine which destroyed
the ship was placed in position before
or after the Maine was stationed at
the second buoy the report does not
undertake to state.
This information comes from a man
who knows every word contained in
the report of the naval board now in
the presidents hands, and there is
every reason to believe that when
congress is officially made aware Of
its contents it will be impossible to re-
strain the house from taking radical
action in behalf of Cuba, unless the
president shall make immediate an
nouncement of a policy that will give
promise of reparation from Spain for
the destruction of the Maine, the end
ing of the war, and the assurance of
Cuba's freedom at an early day.
