vermillion blood already drying on
brown skin, killed instantly, beyond
doubt. Others, again, seemingly as
dead as these, sprang up as we ap'
preached, and rushed savagely, hurl.
ing their spear at the nearest enemy.
They were bayoneted or spot. Once
again the plain seemed empty, but for
the advancing masses and the carpet
of Redeemed white and broken bodies
underfoot.
The Daily News correspondent gives
thrilling picture of the scene as the
Dervishes dashed forward in their first
great charge. This is it:
"At this time. e., when the der
wish masses were about 1900 yards
away-the spectacle they presented
was the most marvellous and the most
magnificent that can be imagined. No
one of US who was present on that day
will ever in his life behold again u
scene so grandly impressive or SO STIR
ring. 1t typitied in every sense the
final desperate struggle of barbarism
against civilization, of dogged, fierce,
unreasoning fanaticism against the
massed triumphs of modern sciences,
the ultimate protest of brute.brave
ignorance against discipline. The
dervish cohorts advanced, rolling for.
ward over the desert as tidal wave
might roll, or huge praire fire sweeps
over the plain. Their countless ban
ners swayed as they moved, their great
broad. bladed spears CLEANED innuner-
ably-a sheet of silver in the sun.
Their leaders, on small, swift horses.
flashed to and fro across the front of
their line here and there, dotted con-
spicuous before the face of the host,
wild figures leapeh high III air in
frenzied war dance; the moaning OF
their war horns, the thunderous throb.
bing of their drums, the coarse per
sistent roar of their battle shouts,
blended with the harsh reiterant crash
of their rifles, rent the air like storm,
and the towering wall of dust above
them, with the flimsy sheet of grey.
brown smoke, that lhinly veiled their
front, made fitting frame for the
most wonderful picture that European
eyes have ever looked on.
"Gorgeous, however, as was the
spectacle, and much rs one admired
and longed to continue gazing ut this
burbaric onslaught, the fact that these
men were in deadly earnest could not
long be-not ignored, for none ignored
lt-let us say, dallied with. Soon the
Camerons and the Lincolns opened al
200 yards range, and ah /! what u
marvel is cordite. 1t makes hardly
any noise and no smoke, and the onl;
sign an observer had of the rapidity
and continuous duration of the fire OF
our Lee Metfords was when he saw the
men in the firing line rushing back u
he reserve, dragging their hot rifles
by the slings-they could not longer
hold them and exchanging them for
cool weapons.

MERCHANTS CHOLERA MIXTURE,

MERCHANTS CHOLERA MIXTURE
Many of our older readers will recol-
lect the famous cholera mixture which
was in such great favor throughout
the country, for some years previous
to the war. 1t is valuable and the re-
cipe should be preserved in every fam
lily. For more than 40 years it has stood
the test of experience as the best rem
edy for looseness of the bowels ever
vet devised. AS was once vouched for
by the New York Journal of Com
merce, that "no one who has this by
him and takes it in time will have
cholera" Even when no cholera is
anticipated, it is an excellent thing
for the ordinary summer complaints
of collie, diarrhpa, dysentery, etc.
and we have no hesitation in COM
mending it. "Here it is:
Take equal parts Of tincture of cay
enne, tincture of opium, tincture OF
rhubarb, essence of peppermint and
spirits of camphor. Mix well. Dose,
Is to 80 drops in wineglass of water,
according to aye of patient and vio'
lence of attack. Repeat every 10 or
10 minutes until relief is obtained.

LOVING WITH ALL HIS STRENGTH
A little boy had declared that he loved
his mother "with all his strength" and
was asked to explain what he meant
by "with all his strength" After some
little time spent in reflection, he said,
"Well, III tell you; you see, we live
way up here on the fourth floor of this
tenement, and there's no elevator, and
the coal is kept way down in the base,
ment. Mothers dreadfully busy all
the time, and she isn't very strong, and
so I see to it that the coal hod is never
empty. 1 lug all the coal up four
flights of stairs all by myself, and it's
a pretty big hod. 1t takes all my
strength to get it up here. Now isn't
that loving my mother with all my
strength ?"

POSING Mr.. BRADLAUGH.-lt is al
ways pleasant to see dognatist meet
more than his match.
Mr.. Bradlaugh, says the New York
Commercial Advertiser, was once en-
gagged in a discussion with a dissent
ing minister. Bradlaugh insisted thai
the minister should always answer q
question by simple eyes," or NO
without any circumlocution, asserting
that every question could be replied tc
in that manner.
The reverend gentleman rose, and
in a quiet manner said:
"Mr. Bradlaugh, will you allow me
to ask you question on those terms :?
"Certainly," said Bradlaugh.
"Then, may I ask, have you given
up beating your wife ?"
This was poser, for if he answered
by "Yes" it would imply that he had
previously beaten her, and if by mo
that he continued to do so.

H9 "Old Quanah Parker, chief Of
the Comanche Indians, is one OF the
most remarkable characters in the
territory of Oklahoma" said Fred
Frank, a merchant of that territory
"When the ice plant was established
at Fort Sill, the old chief was greatly
interested and would ride to the plant
every few days and look it carefully
over. The only thing Quanah could
see was a number of reservoirs filled
with water, and before he was ready
to leave the fort, the water was con.
gealed into ice cakes of usual size and
thickness. One day the chief met the
preacher in the village. Taking him
by the hand and shaking it heartily,
Quanah said: white man mighty
sharp; Great Spirit big man, but not
sharp like white man.
what in the world put such no.
ton as that in your head, chief? quoth
the minister. God can do anything
he desires shall be DONE was the
reply.
"'No, no! white man know more
than Great Spirit said the old chief
tain, for white man make ice in Au-
gust and Great Spirit only make it in
cold weather.
"No kind of argument could con-
vince the old man that the chemicals
used brought about the freezing pro-
cess in the middle of August, and to
the untutored chief, the owners of the
ice plant are magicians whose shrewd-
ness exceeds the wisdom of the AL
mighty"

LIMITED MATRIMONIAL good
Joke has leaked out on the exjustice
of the peace of Wells county, Mimi,
who also happened to be a newspaper
man. The story runs that when he
first assumed the judicial ermine," a
warrant of arrest was taken out of his
court by brand-new constable. The
expected prisoner was found over in
Wells county; but he refused to sur
render on the warrant, for the reason
that the justice issuing it had nc
Jurisdiction out of his own county, and
the constable reported the affair to
"hizzonor." The next official act was
a marriage ceremony, which was per.
formed in a clawhammer coat, and
after invoking the blessings of the
Almighty, the justice concluded:
"And now l pronounce you man
and wife so long as you remain in
Wells county, for ha'nt no jurisdic'
ton outside O. that"

There has been great change in
demand for bacon. Formerly consum

now they want it regularly stripped
with lean and fat, and the more lean
the better. This new fashion is an
important one and comes from those
who have learned how delicious Dan

breeders have this problem before them
and until they solve it they must be
content to take the lowest price fol
bacon.

ABOUT WHEAT SOWING.
Comprehensive Instructions of w. F. Mas
sey In Practical Farmer.

sey In Practical FARMER.
A. Webster, Greenville, S. c., asks
/. Will it pay me to SOW wheat with a
tenant who furnishes half the fertilizer,
half the seed and all the labor and gets
half the crop, direct all? 2. What fer
tilizers to use on gravelly land with red
clay subsoil, that will make from half to
three quarters of bale of cotton per acre
Land now with heavy growth of cow peas
on it, from which peas are to be picked and
vines turned under. 3. What prepara.
ton of the soil? t. Is the Fultz a good
wheat, and how much per acre? D. what
fertilizer for the same land after COW peas
grown with 300 pounds per acre OF acid
phosphate and kainit? 6. Should oats he
plowed in with turn plow and pea stub
BILE turned under at the same time?
l. If the work is well done and the
land properly prepared, it ought to be
a paying crop to you.
2. You do not say whether any fer
tilizer was applied to the peas on the
land where you propose to sow wheat
If these peas had the application you
mention of acid phosphate and kainit,
the only thing you need apply now
will be acid phosphate alone at rate oi
300 to 400 lbs per acre. When the
lands gets into better condition we
would not consider it necessary TO add
more fertilizer after an application to
preceding pea crop. We would
NOW the peas off and prepare the stub
Bile for wheat. The land was plowed
for the peas we suppose, and we dc
not think a re-plowing at this date
would be any advantage to the wheat
3. You should have disc or cut
away harrow, and run this two ways
over the stubble, harrow and roll and
then run the smoothing barrow and
the clod crusher. The object is to GO
over and over till The surface is as fine
as you can make it, and the soil well
packed. IF the peas are turned under
it will be hard to get the soil rs com.
pact as is desirable for wheat.
4. The Fultz is a fine wheat, but in
your climate we would prefer the Full
caster u bearded wheat. Sow six
pecks per acre with wheat drill al
ter the soil has been well prepared.
5. would not USE any fertilizer on
the oats, unless you think that The nj
trogen fixed by the peas may make
the straw too heavy. In this case d
moderate dressing of acid phosphate
will do some good.
6. No. The oat land should be pre-.
pared as the wheat land and the grain
drilled in at the rate Of two bushels
per acre. Do not do any such rough
work as blowing in oats with the
slubble. Thorough preparation Of the
surface is essential to small grain cul-
ture, but where the land has been
we'll plowed for corn crop for the
summer sowing of peas it is better not
not to replow late in the season. The
oats should be sown before the end oi
|September, but do not SOW any wheat
till after you have had good sharp
frost, unless you want 10 invite an AT

A GAME FOR BLOOD
Butte and Anaconda to Meet
Thanksgiving Day.
THE LAST AND THE BEST
Each Man VIII Play AS II It Was the
Game of His Life-Society VIII
Turn Out to Honor the
Occasion.

Great Interest Is being manifested In
the last and best game of the season.
that of Thanksgiving day. between
Butte and Anaconda. 1t is pretty gem
orally understood that 1t will be a
game for blood" although no slug
ging will be tolerated. However, none
will ask for or receive quarter. and Il
is expected hat the society ladies' OF
Butte and Anaconda will turn down
their thumbs as the game progresses
with as much gusto as did the proud
matrons of old Rome at the gladiator
ial contests. Every one is looking for
ward to the stuggle with an interest
that makes every member of the lutte
a feel that this Is to be the game
of his life. Considerable i'll feeling ex-
lists against the Anaconda team among
the members of the local eleven. for
the reason hat they consider Anacon-
da acted arbitrarily in trying to ar
range a game with Deadwood without
offering to pay any OF her expenses
here, leaving the burden of the whole
trip on the Butte team and its
ers. Notwithstanding the
entered into between Messrs. Stivers
and Mcmillan. who were at the time
ildndktlS VI ~ ltrDttllNf tltNtnS.
Feeling as they do. no rooter for the
crimson and cream doubts for a mo-
ment but that every man on the Butte
eleven will play as long and as ies-
perately as possible. 1t Is this feel
ing that gives Butte's supporters ron
fidence in the outcome of the game, and
ven now bets are being laid among
the most ardent sports. 1t il expected
odds will be a shade in favor of Ana
conda. their work in the spring having
been very fine and they having prac-
ticed faithfully this fall.
Captain Hooper has his men in prime
condition and will perfect team work
from now on. The boys have practiced
as faithfully as the disagreeable wealth
err would permit and are determined to
win.
The line is % as strong as Il should
be and the backs do not play together.
Undoubtedly. Captain Hooper will help
strengthen center. as he is in fine con-
dition. At tackles. Butte will have
comparatively inexperienced men,
Paustian and Dooley. Comstock mas
not been feeling well OF late. but will
have TO hold down right guard. A.
ends Davis n Bean will be found.
Brown, Sullivan. Lane and McKinnon
will form the backs. All are hard
workers and much is expected of them.
The loss of Mahoney will be greatly
felt. as he is the best kicker in the
West.
From present indications. the lineup
will be: Leblanc. center: Comstock.
right guard: Hooper, left guard:
Paustian. right tackle; Dooley. left
tackle: Bean. right end: Davis, left
end; Brown. quarter back: Sullivan,
right half; 'McKinnon, left half; Lane,
full back.
The free list will be suspended for
this game, and on Tuesday next tickets
will be on sale at various stores in the
city.

at least her attorneys have not seen
or heard OF her for some time. Ivey
has concluded that he will not oppose
her suit. and she has for some time
been entitled to a default. but appears
to have lost her former eager interest
in the matter. There hav been some
threats OF criminal proceeding against
Ivey. and he Is beginning to get anxious
himself about getting the marriage an
nulled. Attorney Forestelle. who rep
resents the woman. has received a let
ter from Ivey at Elkhorn. asking him
to hurry the case up. Ivey offered to
pay Mr.. Forestelle to get the mar
riage ~annulled. but the attorney said
there were some lawyers who had
conscientious scruples against ppear
ing for both sides OF a case. and that
he was one of them. When Mrs. Ivey,

changed his mind and is as anxious to
have the marriage annulled as she is,

The young claimed to have a
