RENEWAL OF HQSTllITiES.
Efforts Have Failed to Effect Cempro-
mise With the Insurgents.

Kingston, Dec. 2S.-Colombian advices
say that endeavors to affect a COM
promise between the government and
the insurgents have failed, resulting in
q renewal of hostilities. On the Pa
cffic side both parties are marking time,
while on the Atlantic side severe fight
ing has occurred. The government
troops, it appears, broke the truce and
attacked the insurgents near Baran-
quilla, who retreated after a stubborn
battle. The government forces subse-
quently fell into a trap and suffered
severe losses. General Casabianco was
wounded. Both sides are apparently
powerless to hold the advantages gain
ed, occasioning popular disgust and
clamor for foreign intervention in be-
half of the commercial and confessional
industrial interests, which are threat
ened with ruin.

WITHOUT RECOMMENDATION.
Interstate Commerce Commission Trans
mits Testimony TO ATTORNEY General =

a
Washington, Dec. 2S-To-day the in
terstate commerce commission, in COM
pliance with the request of freight
shippers and representatives of the
commercial interests transmitted to
Attorney General Griggs a transcript
of the evidence taken at the hearing
last week respecting the new classifi-
cation of railway freight rates. The pro-
posed classification is to be made on
Jan. l. by all railroads using the Of
fetal classification. These include more
than 60 lines east of the Mississippi
and north of the Ohio rivers. The petit
ton of the shippers was that the COM
mission should transmit the evidence
taken before it TO the attorney general
with a recommendation that he insti-
tute legal proceedings by injunction or
otherwise to restrain the roads from
putting the new classification into eff
feet.
To the request of the shippers the
commission in part complies. The evil
dence and arguments are transmitted
to the attorney general but without
recommendation. The letter of trans
initial, which is signed for the COM
mission by Martin A. Knapp as chair
man, expresses no opinion as to the
claims of the petitioners that the action
of the railroad companies is in violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
Attorney General Griggs, who is i'll
to-day, has given no intimation yet as
to what action if any, he may take in
the premises. Necessarily, he will have
to review the testimony before he can
reach an intelligent conclusion. In any
event. it is said it will be several days
before the matter can be determined.

A MONSTER FOSSIL.
Prehistoric Lizard Found in a Good State
of Petrefieation.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
Valparaiso, Chile, Nov. 27.--A fossil
evidently prehistoric and a cross be-
tween an alligator and a lizard, was
found at Caldera. seaport of Chile,
by Archie Mackenzie, lying under
a sunken rock near the north beach.
He reported the find to the authori-
ties and by order of the intendente,
Senior Carlos Piage, it was lifted out
of the water in sections and brought
ashore, where it was photographed.
1t is now being boxed preparatory to
removal to Valparaiso.
Evidently an uncommonly low tide
a the time of the discovery had wash
ed back the sand which perhaps had
covered the fossil for many years and
left it exposed to view. 1t is believed
to weigh about six tons and measures
approximately 2S feet II inches in
length. The head is nine feet long and
the tail IA feet IL inches long. Across
the back it measures nine feet nine
inches. The fossil is well petritied and
has considerable stone hanging to it.

THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Number of Loaded Freight Cars Dunn ped
INTO IA stream.

San Bernardino, Cal, Dec. 2S.-As No
80, westbound freight train over the
Santa Fe route, was crossing Cajon
creek bridge to-day. about IL miles
north of this city, nine cars went
through the bridge into the creek. Six
of the cars We're loaded with cotton,
one with telegraph wire, one with gem
eral merchandise and high explosives.
The cars caught fire and made a terri
BILE confia garation, destroying the en-
tire contents and frame work There
were 30 cars in the train. Seven cars
with the engine and tender crossed
with safety, but nine cars in the center
of the train dropped through the
bridge. leaving 10 cars in the rear of
the train on the track. The cars at
both ends of the wreck were pulled out
of reach of the flames, but the entire
wreck, as well as the bridge, was to-
tally destroyed. The cause of the dis
aster is mere conjecture, some saying
a wheel broke, others that an expfo-
sion took place in one of the cars. No
one was killed.

A NEW DEWEY STORY.
One Instance In which the Admiral
Failed 10 Punish DtsO-
beGience.

One of the brave jackies who was
with Dewey" at the battle of Manila
bay tells this new anecdote of the great
admiral. The teller is Harry Degh-
man, a sailor of the cruiser Boston, and
his story is this:
THE most affecting incident which
occurred, and which all the sailors will
remember through their lives, was the
action of a powder boy. These boys
act as aids to captains and lieutenants
in carrying messages and doing err
rands. When the order was given to
strip for action one of the boys tore his
coat off hurriedly, and it fell from his
hands and went over the rail, down into
the bay. \ few moments before he had
been gazing on his mothers photo
graph, and just before he took his coat
off he had kissed the picture and put
it in his inside pocket. When the coat
fell overheard he turned to the captain
and asked permission to jump over
and get it. Naturally the request was
refused. The boy then went to the
other side of the ship and climbed
down the ladder. He swan around to
the place where the coat had dropped,
and succeeded in getting it. l believe
it was still floating when he got there.
When he came back he was ordered in
chains for disobedience. After the bat
tie he was tried by n court-martial for
disobedience and found guilty. Com
modore Dewey became interested in the
case, for he could not understand why
the boy had risked his life and dis
obeyed orders for q coat. The lad had
never told what his motives were. But
when the commodore talked to him in
kindly way, and asked him why he
had done such strange things for an old
coat, he broke into tears and told the
commodore that his mothers picture
was in the coat. Commodore Dewey's
eyes filed with tears as he listened to
the story. Then he picked up the boy
in his arms and embraced him. He or
dered the little fellow to be instantly re-
leased and pardoned. Boys who love
their mothers enough to risk their lives
for their pictures canont be kept in
irons on this fleet he said.
"Just before the action the boys all
exchanged keepsakes and intrusted
numerous packages to each other to
send to their homes in case they were
killed in acton. One of the misfortunes
on the Boston was the great scarcity of
tobacco the morning of the battle. AL
most all of the sailors were out of the
weed. But one man had over pound,
and he divided it in equal lots among
his companions, keeping only the regu-
lar share for himself"-N. Y. Journal

CULTIVATION COUNTS.
Small Holdings, Diversity of Crops
and First-Class Products Make
Farmers wealthy.

For several years prices have, quite
generally, been unremunerative and
production consequently limited, says
a writer in the North American Review.
Farmers have refrained from hiring
help and have contented themselves
with what could be produced by the
family. | know of no farm that is
yielding to it's fullest capacity; yet
some are producing more than twice
as much per acre as adjoining farms
equally good. TO illustrate: a farm
of 200 acres, 100 of which are improved,
received careful treatment and above
the average condition of farms in the
vicinity, has cash income of from
$500 to $700 yearly as the result of the
work of two men. An adjoining farm
of 40 acres, with the same labor, aver
ages about $500. A river farm of 40
acres, with a little more work, gives
about $1,000. Small holdings, diversity
of crops and profitable prices will more
than double our production without
any increase in the area of improved
land. France, with nine times our pop
ulation to the square mile, produced
over eight bushels of wheat per capita
for the five years ending with 1897.
Our production for the same period was
but little more than seven bushels per
capita

strip has two bolts with thumbscrews
so it may be fastened anywhere along
the strip, a. The strip, a, has bolt holes
two inches apart, along its entire
length.
The runners may be set to mark rows
as wide as four feet apart, and as mar
row as four inches, and between these
extremes, at any distance in an even
number of inches. The outside run
ners in the illustration are set just
even with the ends of the strip, a. The
rows are then three feet apart. But
each runner may be set at least foot
farther from the center, by means of
the bar shown at f, and still lap enough
to fasten. When the rows are to be
less than 2La feet apart the runners
must change places with each other
put at e's end and at DIS end. Then
the rows may be narrowed down to
four inches.
The advantage of having the center
runner on the tongue is this: BY rails
ing and lowering the tongue, as need
ed, all the runners may be made to
touch the ground all the time, even
though the ground is uneven. This
marker is made of light material
throughout, so it is no task to drag it
along with one hand.-Orange Judd

WHAT THE HAIR TELLS.
Read This and May he You Will BE
Able to "Read" Your
NeiHhbOrs.

How do you wear your hair? Do you
part it in the center or on the right or
left side? Are you in the habit of hav-
ing it cropped or do you allow it the
privilege of going to great lengths"
At first sight it may seem difficult to
discover the wherefore" of the above
queries, but if you turn to facts, and
compare the general characteristics of
people who favor one or the other of
these styles, you will find that persons
with mutual tastes as regards their
hair are often more or less identical in
disposition.
Perhaps the mode of dressing the
hair most patronized is that of dividing
it on the left hand side of the head.
One finds more often than not that
the disciples of the right hand style
are apt to be contrary, obstinate and
self-willed, and frequently evince a
tendency to be arbitrary in many of the
smaller matters of life.
1t must be obvious to the most casual
observer that fewer persons part their
hair in the center than in any other
way. weakness LOT the society ana
sympathy of the gentler sex distin-
guishes them, and they are prone to fall
easy victims to the entertainments of a
tactful woman.
A careful analysis of the natures of
persons wearing long hair brings to
light the fact that a large percentage
of them are deep thinkers, and men
who, in a commercial sense, will ascer-
tain the sterling value and merit of any
thing before venturing an opinion
thereon.
1t is even more difficult task to de-
ternine the characteristics of those
who wear their hair very short. Blunt
and breezy ways, an innate sense of
humor, and an impulsiveness tempered
but slightly with discretion may, how
ever, be taken as an epitome of their
general character.
One almost invariably finds that they
are the reverse of penurious, and gen
uine appeal for monetary assistance is
usually not long in finding its way Il
their hearts and pockets.-Londo

BUTTER MAKING HINTS.
Every Part of the Operation, from
the Milking to the Packing,
Requires Great Care.

The ability to make good butter is
worth money to the farmers wife il
these days when so much of an inferior
quality is thrust upon the market.
Every part of the work requires care
and cleanliness, from the time the milk
ing is done in the barnyard to the mo-
ment when the golden rolls are deliv-
cred to the city customers. Use only
the best quality of table salt, the
amount required usually being one
ounce to pound of butter. Work it
Just enough to take out every particle
of buttermilk, and keep it in cool
place to insure its keeping perfectly
fresh.
A great deal depends upon the care
of the crooks, cans or pans in which the
milk is kept They should be washed
as soon as possible after being used,
and kept clean and free from rust.
Rinse first with cold water. then wash
thoroughly inside and outside with hot
water, in which enough pearline has
been dissolved to make a good suds.
Give particular attention to the seanz
IL you use cans. Finish by rlnslng with
scalding water, wipe dry, then set them
right side up in the fresh air and sun
shine and they will be clean and sweet.
1t is an error to turn them upside down
on table, or to hang them in that po-
sition on stake, for hot air or steam
rises and has no way of escape, conse-
quently condenses in the cans and
causes them to sour A great deal of
milk is tainted in this way. A rusty
can should never be used, as it imparts
a foreign flavor to the milk.
If you have running spring of clear,
cold water have little house built over
it, and set your milk cans in the water.
1t is an ideal place for dairy, and it
will cost very little to build the spring
house.-Prairie Farmer

Profit from Garden Herbs.

There are certain kinds of vegetables
which have a good sale when dried thai
are far too little grown. We allude to
such herbs as sage, thyme, fennel, corr
ander and the like. More money is
often made from sage bed than from
the same area of land planted in any
thing else. There is always good de-
mand for it to use for stuffing when
pork, turkey or chicken are to be roast
ed, ard If the herb has to be bought at
the grocer's or drug store, several times
what the farmer could well afford to
sell it for has to be paid. There would
be more profit in farming if farmers
paid more attention to the small items
which they now neglect, because they
seem too animportant to be worthy of
notice.

THE COWS TEETH.

years old, still one may judge near
enough for all practical purposes. If
cows mouth presents an eight-year-
old appearance, it does not make much
difference if she is nine or ten. She
WILL in all probability, last as long as
the average eight-year-old COW. Deal
ers will often insist that the ten-year-
old mouth here illustrated belongs to
the seven-year-old COW; but that is no
reason why the buyer should be de-
ceived. He can easily learn for him

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

AS rule all CRAFTS succeed best on
trees of their own species.
No matter when transplanting Is
done care must be taken to keep tie
roots moist.
Bury the old bones and the old boots
and shoes under the roots of the grow
ing fruit trees.
A little trimming every year is far
better than heavy trimming once in
three or four years.
Bonemeal and potash in some forms
are staple fertilizers for any lind of
fruit trees or plants.
Flowers may not add visible dollars
and cents to the bank account, but the V
add immensely to the comforts of life.
In setting out trees dig holes large
enough to stretch the roots out full
length and but little deeper than the
tree is set in the hole.-Western Plow-
