SHOULD SPEAK OUT.
Democrats Urged to Follow the Exa0pl0
Of Aessfn Grace and CRimmins.

1AA0.RAO
Of Aessr. Grace and CRimmins.
Following tAe excellent example Of
William r. Grace, lifelong Demo-
crat and free-trader, who lately made
public avowal of his recantation Of
Cobdenite doctrines and his full adhe-
sion to the policy of protection, John
D. CriI1mins, a New York Democrat
Of marked prominence in his party.
and withal business man Of excep-
tional activity and scope, makes
known his conviction that in its blind
devotion to Organism the Democratic
party menaces the best interests OF
the country. In an interview printed
in the New York Sun Of Oct. IA. 1899,
Mr.. Crimmins said, concerning the in
dorsement of William ]. Bryan at the
recent meeting of the New York state
Democratic committee:
I'VE hear a lot of talk about the
governments willingness to help the
money market, but in my judgment
the labor, business and financial
phases of the political situation are
far more important just now.
THE Endorsement of Bryan by the
Democratic organization is a distinct
menace to the labor and manufactur-
ing interests. Let the wOrkingmen
pause for a moment to consider past
embarrassment and present prosperity.
They have, during the past few years,
been better paid, have worked shorter
hours. their wages in many instances
have been advanced voluntarily. and
this, too, by the very corporations
which have been condemned by Croker
and Bryan.
Il know whereof speak when say
that the workingmen will repent Bit
terly If they now listen to the old
sophistries and go to the polls and in
dorse them by voting for Bryan. I
feel that when they reason a little they
will reject false doctrine. To block
the prosperity of the country by strik-
ing at its financial and commercial
foundation is little short Of criminal,
and l believe that the wOrkmen OF
today will not be led into any trap
by the politicians. Indifference may
be injurious to us, for an Endorsement
of Organism at the polls of New YORK
would be an injury to the best inter-
ests of the city, and, reflectively, to
the state and nation"
The man who utters this impressive
warning to workingmen and business
men is a large employer of labor, a
man of wealth and influence. None
knows better than he the dire conse-
quences to the country's welfare that
would follow the success of William
]. Bryan at the polls in the next pres
idential campaign. Other Democrats
of prominence and influence know this
equally with Messrs. William r. Grace
and John D. Crimmins. Why should
they not tell the people of the United
States what they know? Business
Democrats who are in position to
correctly gauge the effects OF Demo-
cratic success under the Bryan banner
ought to be heard from more generally.
They should speak out.

STATING FACTS.

Excting Prosperous Conditions.


ExNtinE Prosperous Conditions.
Among the special gifts of President
Mckinley that Of effective verbal
statement in concise form is especially
notable. Few men have ever said in
90 small a number of words more that
was important, and that the country
wanted to know, than was said by our
chief executive in his speech at the
banquet Of the Commercial club in
Chicago, Oct. 10, 1899. The president
had something good to say. and this is
how he said it:
II congratulate you, gentlemen. upon
the growth and advancement Of your
city and the evidences OF prosperity
everywhere observable. Nothing inn
pressed me more in looking into the
faces of the great multitude on the
streets yesterday than the smiling.
happy faces of the people. That was
evidence to me OF your real and sub
stantial prosperity. 1t meant the
steady employment, good wages, happy
homes, and these are always indis-
pensable to good government and to
the happiness Of the people.
I'VE have had a wonderful indus
trial development in the last two years.
Our work shops never were SO busy;
our trade at home was never so large.
and our foreign trade exceeds that OF
any like period In all our history. In
the year 1899 we bought abroad up
ward OF $Ss7 900 900 worth Of goods.
and in the same year sold abroad
81 1T ,000, 900. giving balance of trade
In our favor Of $3.50. 000. 900.
This means more labor at home.

Milking in Fly Time.

The perpetual switching of cows
tail into the mixers face and eyes is
extremely annoying, aside from the liza
bility of getting dirt switched from the
tail into the milk pail. Some mixers
tie the cows tail to her leg, but the flies
make the COW so uneasy that she will
soon switch her tail loose, or else will
break into run. The best way to keep
flies from a cow is to rub a little grease
over her back and sides, and very lit
tie will be enough. Then spread over
her branches cut from the trees, al
lowing the green leaves to extend down
her sides. The mixer can then milk
in comfort. It Will need a fresh branch
every two or three days, keeping it in
water when not used as shade for the
cow.-American Cultivation.

Corn In the Orchard.

Corn is undoubtedly the most appro-
pirate crop to raise in a young orchard.
It makes a wind break, causes trees to
grow straight and furnishes food for
insects which prefer young corn to
trees. And the cultivation given corn
is Just what the trees need. Those who
were fortunate enough to have apples
last year have good bank accounts now.
Apples at so cents peck have been no
dream, but a reality which caused the
orchardists to dream of diamonds and
other adornments of plutocrats.-

NOT A GOOD RATION.
Oat Straw DiminisheS the Flow of
Milk and Otherwise Injuries
Dairy Cows.

Generally right after the threshing
machine has pulled out of the barnyard
the cattle are turned in to pick up the
scattered heads and loose wheat and
eat as much as they wish from the
straw stack. There is nothing so det-
rimental to the flow of milk as straw,
especially oat straw. [ have known
mich COWS that were giving two and a
half to three gallons of milk day, in
two weeks to decrease to less than
gallon a day. Not that they were fed
on straw. They had good fresh fall pas
lures, but they were allowed to eat
from the strawstack also.
1 know by experience that nothing
gives the butter such cheesy taste and
smell, besides making it much harder to
churn, as feeding the cows oat straw.
It also dries up the flow of milk much
faster than any other feed you can
give them. Save your straw for your
young stock; they will do well on it if
you give them some ground corn along
with it. Feed your cows middlings,
with good clover or timothy hay, or,
what is better yet, cornfodder or siIage.
I know of no better dry feed for mich
COWS than cornfodder. Feed them that.
Keep oat straw away from them and
there will be no decrease in the flow of
milk in the fall and winter.-Beatrice

TREES FOR DRAINAGE.
Those who Have Land That would
Be Improved by Being Drier
should Plant Some.

It is a popular belief that trees about
a house tend to make it damp. 1t is
true that after heavy rains a dwelling
with trees surrounding it takes more
time to dry out than one not so sur
rounded. On the contrary it is just as
true that where trees are the soil is
very much drier than it would be other
wise. Some years ago the daily papers
had much to say of the drainage OF a.
malarious district in Rome by the plant
ing largely of the fast-growing blue
gum tree of Australia, Eucalyptus
globulus. There is no doubt that this
rapid-growing tree would quickly
change the character of a half-swamp,
as it grows fast and has thick foliage.
When there is a lot of trees full of To-
liage there is great call for moisture
from the ground. The roots are draw
ing it in continually, and this in the
long run accomplishes as much as
system of drainage would do. have
myself witnessed the great change
brought about by the cutting down and
clearing of trees from a low piece of
land. What was a fairly dry place
while the trees stood became almost
swamp. 1t is not as easy to start ever
greens in such spot as it is deciduous
trees; otherwise they would be better
for the purpose as there is more evapo-
ration from them in the winter season.
But it must not be supposed that there
is entire rest on the part of a decidu-
Gus tree in winter. The roots are active
and especially toward spring an enor-
nous lot of water is taken from the
earth by the roots of a large tree. This
lis why trees near dwellings which are
in damp situations are so valuable. The
cellar of a house which is surrounded
by large trees will be very much drier
than before the trees were there. This
[ have seen many examples of. There
is no need to plant trees so close that
the branches will reach to the house
and it is not at all desirable that the
limbs overhang it. Deciduous trees are
better than evergreen for planting near
a house. An evergreen is not top
spreader and affords but little shade.
The deciduous one gives the shade in
summer when it is needed, and its roots
are drying the soil to a great extent in
winter as we'll as largely in summer
One of the best trees for the purpose
is the common white maple. 1t grows
quickly, makes a good deal of foliage,
and it is much more Of a surface rooter
than many trees, and this is what
makes it so good for drainage. Those
who may have a piece of land that
would be improved by being drier and
would not object to trees doing the
work for them should plant some. The
result would please them very much

OUANTRILL'S LAST STAND.
1:he Old Barn in Which the Guerrilla
Leader Was Brought
to Bay.

An old barn, in an advanced state of
decay, situated on the farm of w. L..
Heady, about mile west of Wakefield
Station, in Spencer county, is a historic
object, as it was in this old structure
that William Clarke Quantriu, the
noted guerrilla chieftain, received his
death wound. This barn is an old-fash-
ioned building, common in Kentucky
in ante-bellum days. The interior con-
tains but one apartment, ordinarily
known as the "cutting-room," from the
fact that all the feed for the stock was
chopped and prepared there. The room
is about 80 feet square, with loft above
it. The barn was, in its palmy days,
surrounded on all sides by sheds 16 feet
in width. These sheds, at this time
mostly fallen away, were used for vari-
GUS purposes.
Quantrill and his men were occupy
ing this barn when Terrill's band of
home guards surprised and attacked
them. In the sharp skirmish which fol
lowed Quantrill received a wound in the
lungs which Frustrated him. He was
captured and taken to the commodous

TIMELY GARDEN NOTES.

Watch a sod orchard. It will begin
to fall before you know it.
Good drainage, natural or artificial.
is essential to success. Trees are i'm
patient of wet feet.
Good tiIlage increases the available
food supply of the soil and also con-
serves its moisture.
Potash is the chief fertilizer to be ap-
piled to fruit trees, particularly after
they come into bearing.
Only cultivated crops should be al
lowed in orchards early in the season.
Grain and hay should never be grown.
Nitrogen can be obtained cheapest
by means of thorough tillage Ito pro-
mote nitrifcation) and heterogeneous
green manures.
The remedy for these apple failures
is to cut down many of the orchards.
For the remainder, the treatment is cub
tivation, fertilization, spraying = the
trinity of orthodox apple growing.
Cultivation may be stopped late In
the season, and crop can then be sown
upon the land. This crop may serve as
a cover or protection to the soil, and al
a green manure.-Prof. Bailey.

WOMEN WHO SAW WAR.
AN Association of HcrOines Who
Served Their Country in
the '6O's.

The heart of the veteran is strongly
stirred whenever he sees a woman
wearing a little badge of blue and gold,
having upon it the cabalistic letters ga.
N. a." A vision arises before him, and
he sees, through dim vista stretching
away over the tolls and triumphs, the
joys and sorrows of more than 80 years,
young woman in the flush of health
and strength, tenderly caring for the
sick and wounded, or reverently clos
ing for the last long sleep the eyes of
"a dying soldier, far from home and
1oved ones. She was undaunted by the
sight of blood flowing from gaping
wounds, accomplishing in the face of
privation, always patient, even if suf
fering the loss of many hours of sleep,
and ever sympathetic when by the cot
sof the sick or dying.
There were many women of this
type when there was need of their
services, but now their ranks are thin
ming year by year, and this year when
they gather in our city for their annual
business meeting an additional interest
will attach to them, for we know that
before another year rolls around many
of the feeble but loyal sisterhood Will
have answered the last roll call, and
gone to higher service, in an army
where there is no discharge.
Many of these army nurses aresmem-
bers of one or the other of the patriot
&c organizations which have grown out
of the civil war, but as theirs was a dis
tinct work so it seemed proper that
there should be a distinct organization
for them.
Miss Dorothea Dix, who had the direc-
ton of so many of these women when
they rendered such excellent service,
remembered their deeds of self-sacri-
fee and heroism, and thought it would
be an appropriate thing to band them
selves together in an association, so
Gshe issued a call to them, and they came
together in the city of Washington.
juno IS, 1881, and organized under the
title of EX-Army Nurses association.
Miss Dix was enthusiastically elected
president, and served acceptably until
called to higher service. She was sue
cceded by DIR. Susan Edison, of Wash
ington city, who served until failing
health compelled her to resign. Among
those who have served faithfully is
Mrs. Emily Z. Woodley, of this city,
who went from here early in the war
and stood at the post of duty until

there was no more need for her serV-
ices. She was succeeded in Office last
year at Cincinnati by the next officer
in rank, Mrs. Elizabeth w. Ewing.
The constitution of the Army
Nurses association requires that each
candidate for membership shall prove
active service as a nurse in the civil
war. In March, 1892, the association
was incorporated in the District of Co
lumbia. The recognition badge is
gold star, with ga. n. Al in raised let
tiers across the face. The badge to be
worn at the convention in September is
a white satin ribbon with a tiny flag
draped across it, and Army Nurses
Association" painted by hand upon 1T,
while underneath will be red ribbon.
The national president of the Army
Nurses association is Mrs. Elizabeth
w. Ewing, who is naturally proud of
her position as the president Of an or
ganization which, like the grand
army, cannot be recruited. She is
fond of the noble band of women who,
when the ''boys in blue" were suffering
from disease or the dreadful effects of
shot and shell, gave up the comforts of
home that they might minister to the
necessities of the loyal sons of the ma
ton. Mrs. Ewing is u pleasant speaker
and is overlooking with "reminiscences
of hospital life. For a long time she
was connected with the Baltimore hos
pitfalls during the war, and was an eff
ficient and sympathetic nurse. In APP
pearance she is tall and stately, with
abundant dark hair and face wonder
fully smooth for one of her years and
service. Mrs. Ewing is a Pennsyl-
yanian, her home being in Phoenixville.

Here the wounded guerrilla was given
medical attention and kind nursing by
Mr. Wakefield and his family, and also
by Judge Jonathan Davis, who owned
the adjoining farm, and at whose house
QuantriA and his men, when in the
neighborhood, frequently stopped. The
former entertained high regard for
Judge Davis and never allowed his men
to take the slightest advantage of him.
Judge Davis was true friend to Guam
trill and remained faithful to him to
the end. AS freemason Judge Davis
received secret from Quantrin which
he was never at liberty to disclose.
After being allowed to remain at the
Wakefield house for several days,
Quantrill was removed, under guard,

HERO OF THE sEVENTY-FIRsT.
Johnny Captured the CoIOrs, But
Ynnk Got Him and the

The deeds of the unknown privates
of the union army during the rebellion
form a brilliant chapter of history.
One of the most notable of all was that
of member Of one of the companies
of the Seventy-frst New York regiment
at the battle of Charlottesville
Federals and confederates were in
the thick of one of the several engage
ments which made up that conflict At
the time when the incident referred to
occurred fortune seemed to smile on
the confederates. a federal color bear
er was attacked by brawny confed-
crate captain, who succeeded in shoot
ing him and tearing the flag from his
grasp. Colors and confederate disap-
peared in the smoke that enshrouded
the line of battle.
A private, conspicuous for the cour-
age he had already displayed, witnessed
the loss of the colors and dashed after
the fleeing confederate. In a moment
the pursuer was lost to view, just as the
pursued had vanished
The tide of battle ebbed and flowed
for few moments, and then out of the
smoke, and hurrying toward the union
line, came the confederate captain,
minus the colors and menaced by
the weapon which the union private
just behind him held grimly with the
muzzle on direct line with his foeman.
From the staff in the private's left
hand f1oated the colors the confederate
had risked all to capture, and that night
both reposed within the union lines
