Washington. Nov. 29.-It is the i'm
preston at the state department that
the peace commissions work is now near
an end. and that about two weeks time
will about suffice 10 close ii up. This
idea is based on the belief that instead
of undertaking to arrange the several
matters yet to be settled in the treaty
of peace, a general clause Will be placed
in the treaty binding each of the parties
TO begin negotiations in the near future
upon those subjects. 1t was said at the
state department that the next step III
order will be TO begin negotiations for
tho acquisition of Ualan. in the Caro-
line islands, for a cable station. This
will be an offer in all sincerity TO pur-
chase the island at fair price.
Spain has accepted the United States
offer of 500 600. 600, and at joint sess. on
Of the peace commissioners yesterday
afternoon, consented without condition
TO relinquish Cuba and to cede Porto
Rico, Guam and the Philippines.

No kporvn Cause

Salem, Mass, Dec. 1.-Willard F.
Derby, a boOkkeeper in the Asiatic Ma
tional bank, shot himself in the head
last night and died a few hours later
He was 26 years Of age, a member of sew
eral clubs, and very popular. No reason
can be assigned for the suicide at pres

financial troubles were the cause. He
left letters for his mother and two of his
friends, but their contents have not yet
been made public.

stopped casually to inspect some food
that was being served to soldiers in the
palace yard. He tasted 1t and called the

The seaueI to the Joke.

Many years ago a visitor to Edin-
burgh was being shown over the high
court of justiciary. He made some re.
mark concerning the dock and its du-
ties, and in reply the official jokingly
said the visitor might one day be SEN
fenced to be hanged in that very room.
The sightseer was the notorious DR..
Pritchard. Two years had barely passed
when in the dock be had so closely in
spected he was doomed to death for
poisoning his wife and mother in law.

SOME NEEDED REFORMS
". P. BROKER, Sec'y.

Correspondence Of The Progressive Farmer.
Let all the voters in every county
demand of their representatives who
may be chosen at their different nomi
mating conventions,
LIST. That all salaries in this State
shall be reduced.
2i. That Justices of the Peace shall
be given more Jurisdiction in order to
lessen the expenses in the various coun
ties of the State. Lot them and road
overseers also be paid q reasonable
compensation for their services.
Sd. All convicts shall be worked on
the public roads in the various counties
in which they are convicted, and not
send them to other counties to repair
their roads. In this matter charity
should begin at home. By this the
counties would be saved much ex
pense, while they would also be greatly
benefited by the better roa6s.
4th The telegraph and telephone or
ganiz atoms of the United States have
kicked at the recent stamp act, and re
fuse to help to pay the war debt.
They should be made to help pay the
debt.
5th. Last but not least, let all the
conventions demand of their candidates
this year these, or better reforms, and
if they do not pledge themselves to do
all in their power to enact them into
law, let the people turn them down
and select those who will take the
pledge. J. P. IINGEN.

A successful farmer always begins
in time. He takes time by the forelock
and not by the fetlock. This is truly
so, and every successful farmer, both
landlord or tenant, is now at work on
a crop for 1899. One half of the year
before time he is preparing. grubbing,
fencing, etc., and all plans laid for
1899. If planning is essential to sue

still has q future before him. But since
the district decided to make a change
it could not have made a better seleo

s a man of ability and fine address.
He will make a telling and winning

need chinks much in July) with no
screns to doors and windows and no
netting for the ''skeeters't to set on and
peep through at you, l know you have
had some such experiences as I have
had to contend with this July, A. D.,
1898 The night was sultry with the
thermometer so high that your shirt
collar would wilt at the breakfast table
next morning. / went to bed early
but the ''skeeters" would hardly let
the dead sleep in peace. l heard those
''skeeter" sounds, or music as you may
call it, and when I hear it I scringe,
quake and squirm. l really believe l
am afraid of them, although l fought
in the war between the States from 81
to '65 which took blood and bone from
me, have lived a farmer, have raised a
family of girls and boys, and have
taken The PROGRESSIVE FARMER since
it's first issue. Must 1 then be dubbed

But in the war l could see my enc
my. The Yanks would come up in
front and give me a fair chance for life,
but not so with these pesky ''skeeters."
They come at me in the dark in the
rear, and on the flank, both right and
l eft, every time where you least expect
them, with their needle like bills
thirsting for gore. I don't know when
or where to strike. / kick out both feet
hoping to kill some only to find the

But now for my nominations. The
millionaires. railroad monopolies,

vote and mis- tHlrts have been on the

He is as true as steel and the people can
safely trust him anywhere. That be
vas not nominated was due largely to
the sentiment that has grown up in
this State and unfortunately in all the

Congress is enough for any one man
no matter how faithful and efficient he
has been. The longer the people keep
