Toledo, April SO.-This city never
saw larger crowd than that which
packed the streets to bid farewell to
the Sixteenth regiment, 0. N. e., who
left for Camp Bushnell at Columbus, on
their way to the front. There are four
companies from this city and one each
from Sanduslky, Fostoria, Bryan, Napo-
leon, Wauseon, Clyde and Fremont, and
all are filled to the limit, making a
total strength, with the signal and
hospital corps, band and officers, of 91s
men. The old veterans and nearly
every uniformed civic society in the
city formed an escort to the depot.

ABOUT CRIMSON CLOVER.
When Used In Certain Stages of It's
Growth rs n Stock Food 1t Is Apt
to Cause Trouble.

The use of crimson clover as clover
crop has, within the last few years, be-
come justly popular. Being winter
annual its season of growth is exactly
suited to the use of the orchardist who
believes, MS he should, in catch crops.
If crimson clover be used for this pur-
pose alone and turned under in the
spring at the proper time, the danger
from its use as stock food need not be
feared, and animals may be turned
upon the plants up to the time of its
being plowed under. Injuries to cattle
and sheep have so far not been report
ed, but when used in certain stages of
its growth as food for the horse it has
been found to produce death from the
formation of hair balls in the animals
stomach. These hair balls, often more
than three inches in diameter, block the
passage from the stomach to the small
intestine, producing an irritation that
after period of greater or less dura-
ton causes the death of the animal
from inflammation of the bowels or
similar disorder.
The individual plant hairs of crimson
clover that form these hair balls are
usually less than an eighth of an inch
long, and are covered more or less thick
ly with little barbs all pointing toward
the apex of the hair. These hairs, when
the plant is immature, are soft and flex-
ible and not liable to accumulate in
masses in the alimentary canal. But
when the plant has become mature the
hairs are stiff and bristly and liable
to form the balls. 1t is apparent, there
fore, that feeding horses with crimson
clover that has been allowed to pass the
Towering stage is attended with risk
that becomes greater as the plants be-
come more and more mature; from
which it may be seen that the practice
of feeding the clover straw after the
thrashing out of the seed is to be con-
demned in the strongest terms, since
the hairs are then most liable to col
lcct in masses as noted.-Farm and
Fireside.

Cannot Borrow a Peseta.

Washington, May S.-Spain's finan-
cia> condition is matter for worry in
Nadrid, and matter of satisfaction in
Sashington. Official information has
reached the state department from it's
representatives in Europe that, not
withstanding the strenuous efforts
made by the Sagasta ministry to ne
gotiate loan, absolute failure has
been the result. Furthermore, the of
ficials have been informed that Spain
can get no credit, although she has en-
deavored to buy supplies on time. This
information is of the utmost import
ance. and the poverty of Spain will un-
doubtedly have great effect in hasten
ing the end of the war.

THE QUEST OF FORTUNE.
Sure to Be Found, Says MIR. GOzzletOn,
If One Only Takes the
Right Road.

"The longer l live the more firmly am
convinced, said Mr.. Gozzleton, "that man
who wants a fortune has got to do some
thing besides wish for it. Fortunes, large
and small, are shy, very shy. In one form
and another they are passing by all the
time, but they won't stop for the mere ask
ing, however polite and graceful and ear
nest the invitation may be. We might sit
out on the veranda from now till doomsday
and rise and bow and scrape at every one Of
'em that came along and ask 'em all in, but
never one of 'em would stop. They might
want to come in, but nothing short of actual
collaring would bring 'em in. The fact is
that if we want a fortune we've got to work
for it.
"Men have made fortunes, to be sure with.
out working. Oimayspout up out the ground
one man owns and cover him with riches.
Another man may find iron ore in his land,
and so on. But such cases are so few in
number that they don't count; the chances
of our getting rich in that way are really
not worth considering. If we would be rich
we must work for it. And work early and
late; all the time. Plug at it, and keep
plugging at it. There is practically no other
way.
''The man who idles away his time, or fails
to make the best possible use of it, stays
| poor; the man that works for all he knows
how and keeps forever at it is bound to get
ahead. Y. Sun.

THE WORD OF GOMEZ is LAW.
An American Tells of Visit to the Camp
of the Insurgent Leader.

OF the InSurgenJ Leauer.
Haverhill, Mass, May 3.-William G.
Frost has returned to his home in this
city after six months visit to Cuba.
During that time he was engaged in
6libustering, was twice arrested and
confined in MORO castle, and also
spent two weeks in the camp of Gen.
Gomez, of the insurgent army.
In speaking of the insurgents Mr..
Frost says: Gomez is king. His word
is law, and it is enforced with an iron
hand. The old general who fought
through one war, natural leader of
men, able though not educated is all
the law that these men have. With
him are several Americans.
''In spite of all reverses Gomez is
still confident, and his faith inspires
the men under him. They are looking
to the United States for help, and be-
lieve that the day of their deliverance
is near at hand"
1t was previous to this visit to Gen.
Gomez that Frost was arrested. He
was put under guard at Matanzas and
tried before drumhead court-martial.
He was convicted and sent to Morro
castle at Havana with 40 other prison
ers, but was released three days later
through the efforts of Gen. Lee He
was a few days later again arrested
and confined three hours in the guard
room at Morro, until word was sent by
Gen. Lee to release him. During his
three days confinement, he says, many
| prisoners were shot, and he and his
companions momentarily expected to
meet the same fate. After that he was
constantly under surveillance while in
| Havana.
Mr.. Frost was in Havana the day OF
Gen. Lees departure, and went out OF
the harbor on the same boat, although
he returned few days later to visit
Gen. Gomez. Since the departure OF
Gen. Lee the lives of Americans in
Havana, he says, have been in constant
danger,

Irishman named Finnegan, who had been
very poor before he struck it rich, and who,
consequently, was unfamiliar with many or.

"Oi say, yez kin bring me two dozen eye
sters," he said, airily, as he took seat in
one of the finest restaurants in Frisco.
The oysters were soon set before him, and
Finnegan, looking about him for something
to put on them, and hardly knowing what
the something should be, spied bottle Of

After shearing, brand with coal tar.
Do not leave it too long, after shear
ing or it will damage the wool. Carve
out of wood the letter you want, leav-
ing stem to hold it. Do not make
the letter too small or it will blot.
Some get blacksmith to make them.
The tar is better to be used on a warm
day, or warmed little to make it thin.
Dip type in tar for each sheep. Type
on side and turn sheep in lot so they
will rub together and smear tar over
themselves, but they will not interfere
with the type. do not think you will
be bothered with ticks, and it will
make a good mark that will show
nearly the entire year. Lambs should
also be typed; the ticks will leave the
old sheep when it gets warm weather
and 60 on the lambs.-L. p. Thompson,

A GREAT OBJECT LESSON.
European Powers Must Revise Their Op'n-
ion of the Fighting Strength and Ability
of the United States.

European Powers Must Revise Their Op'n-
ion of the Fighting Strength and Ability
of the United States.
Washington, May S.-There is no
talk yet of European intervention, but
one of the most beneficial results of
Commodore Dewey's victory is that
deep impression has been made upon
the European powers, who can no
longer afford to blind themselves to
the fact that man to man, the Ameri-
can navy is equal to any in the world.
There was no exhibition such as was
sneeringly predicted in the European
press of weakness in the American
fleet, caused by the fact that it was of
heterogeneous composition.
1t is safe to say that after the battle
at Manila the European powers will
conclude that the American flag al
ways floats over an American crew, re-
gardless of the nativity or racial de-
scent of the men who fight the guns.
The impression produced is likely to
deter the European powers from hasty
intervention, and the present indica-
tions are that we shall be left to settle
our affairs with Spain at our own pleas
ure, always providing we do not get in
volved in the eastern question through
obtaining possession of the Philippines.
The late reports that Manila was be-
ing bombarded caused much uneasi-
ness at the foreign headquarters. 1t
was said that if the town itself was
under bombardment serious complica-
tions might arise, as non-combatants
and the foreign colonies, it is held,
should have been entitled to at least
"a hours notice of an attack upon the
town proper. IT, however, Dewey is
confning his bombardment to Cavite
and other forts, no such questions can
arise

Cleveland, May 3.-The regimental
headquarters of the First Ohio regi-
ment of volunteer cavalry was estab-
ished at the Central armory Monday,
when Lieut.. Col. Day was relieved of
duty at the United States recruiting
office. He will now devote his whole
attention to the cavalry regiment.
From the large number of applicants
for enlistment that were at the armory
Monday, it seemed as if Cleveland's
three troops would soon have their list
of men complete. Col. Day said that
rs quick as the troops were filed they
might leave for Columbus, and that
rcgimental headquarters in that case
would be transferred to that city.

Green Rye for Poultry.

There is no question but that green
rye is good food for poultry, but in its
ripened state it has less value than any
other grain used for feeding hens. Rye
in the grain has peculiar effect on
fowls. 1t stops their laying almost at
once, and in many cases causes extreme
constipation, hard to overcome, while
with other birds it has an effect just the
reverse. For green food fall-sown rye
or oats rank next to clover for early
spring use.-Prairie Farmer.
