DeWey'S Candidate.
New York Sun.

To those who have imagined that
| Admiral Dewey could be enlisted in
| the Democratic nartp i--~r,i.- Of It's
| pOl1cy OF silver and surrender, or that
he would cast longing eyes toward a
presidential nomination by the repub-
licans, the reports OF two utterances
of his upon this subject, found in
McClure's Magazine for October, will
be interesting. A reporter of the
Chicago Record Joined Admiral Dewey
at Port Said on his homeward journey,
and he has this to say of the banquet
given to Dewey at Triest by the United
States am bassador to AUSTRIA Hungary
and the return feast to the am bassad or
by Dewey on the Olympia:
Zone who was guest at both of the
banquets told me that on each occa-
sion the admiral used nearly the same
language when drinking the health of
the presidentof the United States. 1t is
generally the habit of navy officers to
speak of the president by his official
title-the president-instead of men
tioning the name of the incum bent of
the place. But at the am AMBASSADORS
banquet, after the toast to the pres
ideDt bad been proposed, Ad:
miral Dewey raised his glass and
said:
Yes, here's to the president
President Mckinley. 1 hope he will be
reelected
"At the dinner in his own cabin he
said "There will be only one toast to-
night, gentlemen. Here's to the pres
Mckinley. 1 hope he
will be our next president F"
This is in direct contradiction of the
report that Dewey was ready to accept
the nomination of the party openly an
tsgonistic to all that his own peculiar |
means, or that he would |
lend himself to q political combination |
formed within the repub lican party to |
capture the nomination SO unquestion-
ably due to William Mckinley
It appears that In spite of the tre-
mend GUS outpouring of national admi-
ration for the hero of Manila there are
those who cannot truly be called Ad-
nirsl Dewey's friends.

at the Residence of Mike Curry

Splintered,
During the thunder storm which
ragged Friday evening the fine barn

going to the ground at each corner
of the barn. In it's descent two
huge posts were shivered and plsnks
split into kindling wood,
Standing within eight feet of one
of the slivered post was MIR. Fo1's
little son Leslie, who barely escaped
being killed. The little fellow was
badly stunned and for a short time
was made totally deaf from the
effects OF the shock. A horse stand
ing in stall was knocked down, but
soon recovered his feet. The barn
was full of hay, but fortunately did
not take fire The damage is fully
covered by insurance.
The same evening the barn of L.
A. Atkison, near the depot was
struck, set on fire and burned to the
ground. His loss, besides the barn,
was a set of single harness, a set OF
double harness, road wagon and a
lot of feed.
At the residence of III. J. Curry,
in the northwest part of the city, the
same evening and at about the same
hour SIR. Atkison's barn was burn
ing, a bolt OF lightning struck 6

of the kitchen door and In an instant
it was torn to splinters. From this
tree the lightning followed clothes

THE NEW LAW

Prohibits the Use of Arsenic or Alum
In Food Articles.
The law enacted by the last legis-
lature, copy of which was recently
published in our columns, and which
prohibits the manufacture or sale OF
any article intended for food or to
be used in the preparation of food,
which contains alum, arsenic, ammo
MIA, etc, places Missouri at the head
of the states in the matter of sani-
tary legislation.
Laws restricting the use OF alum
in bread have been in force in Eng
land. Germany and France for many
years. In this country, in Minnesota,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Ken
lucky and several other states, direct
LEGISLATION in reference to the sale OF
alum baking powders has also been
effected. In several of these states
their sale is prohibited unless they
are branded to show that they con
tain alum, ard in the District of

eress, the sale of bread containing
alum has been made illegal.
Following are the names of some
of the brands of baking powder sold

Special Markets for Eggs.

A poultry-keeper near one of our large
cities gets As cents per dozen for his
eggs. He guarantees them to be strict
ly fresh and good, and they are always
as guaranteed. He says there is plenty
of room for others to sell strictly fresh
eggs at good prices to a select trade.
Not many of those who read this could
obtain any such price as this man does,
they are not so located that they could
strike such q market. But many of
them could find a special market for
strictly good fresh eggs if they would
look for it. There are opportunities in
this line in nearly every city and town
in the country. 1t takes some time and
trouble to find them out; it takes some
skill to furnish the eggs; but it pays.

Sheep Need Dry Bedding.

Many people who keep sheep under
sheds on an earthen floor il cold wealth
er make the mistake of not providing
bedding enough, thinking that it will
interfere with properly packing the
manure which is trodden into a hard
mass by them. But little dry straw
should be scattered over the floor at
night, and it will be none the worse
if it is the refuse of what the sheep have
picked over during the day. Even the
fattening sheep will eat some straw
each day as change of food, and it will
select the upper part of the stalk near
the head. Dat straw is the best for
this purpose. The sheep is very impa-
tent of wet, and besides, it is injurious
TO the wool to have it soiled by manure.
If the ends of the wool are closed by
filth this stops its growth, just as it
does on the tags, which, even after they
have been secured, are not worth as
much as clean wool from other parts of
tt body.-American Cultivator.

GROUND PLAN.

gates working with a lever from the
alley should be suspended above the
troughs, to shut the hogs away from
them while putting in the feed.
A platform the width of the alley,
with the proper incline and at the end
of the alley most accessible 10 wagon.
furnishes very convenient way of
loading and unloading hogs. The
small doors opening from each pen to
the alley makes such platform avail
able. The location of a piggery should
be high and dry, and a southern ex-
posure is desirable because more sun
shine, especially in winter, is thus made
available. The pen should be reason
ably warm, so that close budding of
the swine will not be necessary in or
der to be comfortable Good ventila-
ton without direct draft is imperative.
