Our readers know the views of the
editor Of this paper in regard to the
Kansas City Live Stock Indicator.
We think that nothing like it and its
Special Farmers Institute editions
were ever offered to the farmers of
this county at the low price of 81, and
each successive issue only confirms
this view. The January Special In
stitute number, which accompanies
the regular issue for last week in 1897,
was particularly interesting. 1t dis
cussed the uustion whether it is wise
under present conditions for young
men of limited means to buy farms.
Every farmer should read this for the
light it throws on the future pros
poets of farming. Government seed
distribution is also very thoroughly
discussed Now is the time when our
farmer readers select their papers for
the year. and the Live Stock Indi-
Gator should be on the list of every
farmer in this county. Send for sam
pie copies of both the paper and its
Special Institute editions. They
will be sent free to all who address

An Old Campaign Relic.

On Flag Day, Mr.. ]. F. Parsons sus-
pended a streamer in front of his resi-
dence on Fourth street, that during
the Seymour-B and Grant Colfax
campaign, foated from the top of the
flag pole in front of the old Democratic
wigwam, which formerly covered the
site now occupied by the residences of
Mr.. Fred Julian and DIR. S. S. Smith.
The year of the Centennial, Mr..
Parsons had the names of Seymour
and Blair removed from the streamer
and substituted thereon the dates 1776.
1876. At the close of the Centennial
he laid the streamor away in an old
trunk, where it remained undisturbed
till a few days ago, when Mr.. Parsons
happened to run across it and decided
to hang it out on flag day along with
the Cuban and American flags.

Too Hot for Austin.

While Emporium may not be located
within the limits of the torrid zone,
nevertheless, our boys demonstrated
to the Austinites on Saturday, that we
are pretty warm anyway.
Emporium went to the bat only eight
times and won out easily by a score OF
10 to 5. In the absence of McFadden,
the regular pitcher, Hemphill the six
teen year old twirler of the second
nine was put in the box, where he did
excellent work, striking out nine
men and the visitors being I'M
able to find him but few times. He
also did good work with the stick.
The leading features of the game
was the clever catch made by Walker,
of the Austin team, who captured a
fly after jumping barbwire fence; the
one hand catch by Gainey and double
play to Pearsall and the double by
MCGEE to Pearsall.

His Arm Torn Out.

Thirteen year old John Seewald, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Seewald, of 642
Second street, met with frightful ac-
cident at the West End planning mill
about 1880 O'Clock yesterday morning.
Young Seewaid, whose father is en-
ployed at the mill was in the habit of
accompanying the latter to work, to
look after the belts. Yesterday morn
ing the lad while endeavoring to run
on a belt caught his left arm in it,.
The rapidly moving belt whzzed
around the shaft and completely tore
out the lads arm together with part of
the collar bone. The severed men,
Der was not found until after q two
hours search among the machinery.
The lad was taken to his home and
DIR. G. w. Youngman summoned. On
the physicians arrival the unfortunate
boy was placed under the influence of
ether and the terrible opening in his
side dressed.
The shock, together with the large
quantity of blood lost, will probably be
more than the boys strength is equal
to and slight hopes are entertained for
his recovery. -Williamsport Bulletin.

Ridgway, it being a portrait of her
eldest daughter. 1t was painted by
Eliza J, Schulze, the artist so we'll

illustrations in natural history. This
skillful artist shows herself close

the strictest adhearance to nature of
the smallest details, while her land
scape work detail is dropped and
charm and breadth is grasped, and a
fine feeling for nature displayed on the
canvas. The clearness and tenderness
of her flesh tones and wonderful rep
resentation of fabric may be seen in
the portrait. Mrs. Hall is to be con-
graduated upon possessing such a
work of art.7

The Red Cross Society.

The Red Cross of Philadelphia have
issued the following appeal to all
clergy in this state. The noble work
executed by this society calls for a
liberal response from the people of all
creeds:
Philadelphia June 9Th, 1898.
TO THE REVEREND:
Dear Sir:-The Associated Society of the Red
Cross of this City and State, is making, siren
uous efforts to equip an ambulance corps and
field hospital, to send it to the front Immediately
and to maintain it.
To carry out its plans successfully large ex-
penditure of money will be necessary. The peo-
pie are responding generously to the appeal, but
the con !ributions are not commensurate with
the undertaking.
The society must act speedily in the matter.
The urgent need for its services in this line is
undisputed. An opportunity is presented you to
ameliorate the n iseries and sufferings ofthose
tossing in the derum of fever in tropical islands
or wounded on the field of battle.
To whom should we appeal, if not to the
Christian Church; the source and stimulus of all
great philanthropic movements?
We beg most earnestly that you will take q
special offering for this work on Sunday, June 49,.
The Red Cross Society organized under the
articles of the Geneva Treaty of 1864, which
afterwards was ratified by all civilized nations)
devoted to those humane and merciful minis
trations, deserves the hearty cooperation and
aid of all good citizens who estimate at heir
their just value, the patriotism and de-
NOtioH VI tnOSe WHO HBHt IN lnelr country 5
cause" It's efforts are "for the alevia-
ton of the horrors of battle and for the relief
and comfort of those who must die"
Because of its international character, the flag
of the Red Cross Society is exempt from attack
and its goods from confscation. Terrible would
be the calamity that would fall upon nation
violating the provisions of the Geneva Treaty.
Because of its magnificent organization and
years of experience, 1t is exceptionally competent
to utilize supplies and funds without waste; and
because of recognition by our Government, it
has unusual opportunity for thoroughly effective
work with our troops.
The Society does not so much ask large sums
from individuals as it does eagerly beg smaller
contributions from many.
Ifyou will help to supply our needs by pre-
senting this cause to your congregation on June
18th, the Society will feel very grateful for this
concession and favor.
If you can consider this request favorably,
kindly send the offerings to the Headquarters of
the Red Cross Society, addressed to Frysinger
Evans, Treasurer for the Fund 1901 Chestnut
street.
Very truly yours

What is the Trouble 2

The number of school children who
wear eye glasses must be noticeable to
everybody. Middle aged people have
no recollection ofsuch condition when
they were children. Are we becoming
weaker, or is it the spectacle man
abroad plying his trade to an unusual
extent? Or yet are our children con-
fined in school too many hours, or re-
quired to study too mach at night =?
Watching the pupils of the schools as
they file down the street when released,
it will be noticed that about one in
every ten wear apair of glasses. What
is the troble? No such condition ex-
listed twenty or thirty years ago.-Som-
erset Democrat.

Goodwin Hanged.

WELLsBoRO, June, g. Walter f.
Goodwin was hanged in the Jail yard
here at 1885! o'clock to-day. He was
composed to the last, and exhibited
every sign of the bravado which has
characterized his movements since the
jury pronounced him guilty.
After he had been taken with en-
closure he spoke and rs anticipated
reiterated his innocence. His first re-
marks were: 81 will say to you gentle
men that | have fallen into the hands
of a just God. | fear not what
men can do. Gentlemen, are you all
as near prepared as am "
Here he paused and conversed
for few seconds with the sheriff and
clergyman.
Sheriff Johnson then addressed the
crowd saying:
81 have talked with Walter and he
wouldn't go without expressing him
self truthfully.
Goodwin then continued: "Gentle-
men | can forgive every one of my
enemies for testifying against me-"
After another talk with the sheriff
Goodwin continued: Gentlemen l
wish your attention about this crime
now charged against me. The deed
was done by Gertrude Taylor and this
is no lie. I could not face death and
tell lie. The people with any mind
at all will say that / could not tell a
lie at this time. l will say to the peo-
pie that l was implicated but did not
do the very actual deed"
Here Goodwin broke off and had
another talk with the sheriff, after
which he said:
Gentlemen it is the power of Christ
that holds me up at this moment. ]
| hope to meet you where we will part
no more"
The Rev. Mr.. Wynne prayed silently
while Goodwin uplifted his head and
closed his eyes. Mr.. Wynne said:
"We thank the Almighty for the evi-
dence that Walter has given his heart
| to Thee and now we leave Walter in
thy hands"
Farewell sheriff. / hope to meet
you all in heaven" said Goodwin and
at 1875 the rope was put on Through
the black cap Goodwin said ''God
| bless you Mr.. Johnson"
a moment after the trap fell and the
body shot downward. The knees
drew up and the hands twitched, and
at 1886 DR.. Bacon applied his ear tc
the chest and at 1915 the rope was
| cut.
The three brothers and brother-in.
law had previously carried in the
coffin and the body was placed in il
and taken to Buckley's undertaking
rooms where it will remain until to-
| morrow morning.
