Belpre Shooting Affair.

About two O'Clock this afternoon
John Sweeney shot ''Limber jim
Wilson ON the river front Just above
the bridge in Belpre Wilson is SER
iously wounded in the right shoulder,
but is not believed to be n dangerous
condition.
Wilson owns q house in which a
family named Sweeney lives, but they
are not related to John Sweeney. John
is Wilson's father-in-law, but there
has been bad feeling between them for
some time and Wilson told his tenants
not to allow John Sweeney or his wife
in his house.
They replied that they paid rent for
the house and would entertain whom
they pleased. Wilson was drunk to-
day and finding his mother-in-law,
Mrs. John Sweeney. on the porch of
the other ,Sweeneys he knocked her
of.
That caused row between him and
John Sweeney, the result Of which was
that both drew their guns at the same
time, but Sweeny fired first. The ball
lodged in Wilson's right shoulder and
Dr. MeGee, who attended him, says the
injury may prove serious, but probably
will not.
After the shooting they had fight
over the possession OF the pistol and
Wilson was finally disarmed.

Three years ago, in spite OF the en-
thusiasm tha swept over certain ele-
ment in this country upon the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bryan, the contributions
to the campaign fund were discourag-
ing. 1t is easily understood. Those
who had money were not willing to
give 1t for the purpose of furthering
the political prospects Of a man whose
avowed aim was to depreciate the val
ue of money. The confidence OF the
people who staid with him, and his
catchy way Of making friends, alone
saved Mr.. Bryan from a most humilt-
ating defeat. AS it was he had cred
liable following, one large enough to
delude him into the belief that he is
candidate OF perennial strength. But
nov comes to the Democratic National
committee a recognition OF the hard
condition which confronts the next
campaign. The prosperity that has
followed the defeat OF Bryan shows
eonclusively enough that the need OF
the free coinage OF silver was not the
cause Of the panic. Business has re-
Vived in spite Of all that Mr.. Bryan
said TO the contrary, and there is u
continual tendency on the part OF men
who three years ago believed in this
doctrine to doubt it now. Men of
means are still not disposed to give up
OF their substance to spread Bryan's
doctrines, and the popular enthusiasm
which was depended upon in the last
campaign has largely subsided. What
ever IS to be done in the fight of 1900
must be done by hard work, and not
by catching great party in its hour
OF despair and rousing it to enthus-
iasm by a few well-turned phrases.
Money, not oratory, must fight the bat
tie OF next year for the Democracy,
and there is no place from which to
expect it, Speech is silver, silence is
golden. Mr.. Bryan played silver the
last time. Now gold is essential, and
=. is scarce in some sections and for
some poses-Pittsburg Times.

A Big Pile.


A ststistician has learned that the
annual aggregate of the circulation Of
the papers of the world is estimated to
be ,000,000,000 copies. To grasp the
idea of this magnitude we may state
that it would cover no fewer than 10, 450
square miles of surface, that it is print
ed on 7s1, 25o tons of paper, and, further.
that If the number $4,000 ,000, 000) rep
resented, instead of copies, seconds, it
would take over 1913 years for them to
elapse. In lieu of this arrangement We
might press and pile them vertically
upward to gradually reach our highest
mountains. Topping all these, and even
the highest Alps. the pile would reach
the magnificent altitude of 400, or, in
round numbers, 500 miles. Calculating
that the average man spends five min
utes reading his paper in the day (this
is a very low estimate), we find that the
people of the world annually occupy
time equivalent to 100000 years reading
the paper-Golden Days.

Unwarrantcd Encouragement.

Because the farmer does not receive
every year for his crops and stock a
high price, he should not permit him
self to grow indifferent and think
farming non-paying business. Like
any other vocation farming has its
ups and downs. Some farmers, how
ever, seem to think that hard times"
are going to be with us always. Not
SO. The ambitious, progressive, sci
entific farmer is prospecting to-day,
and has no time to complain. Those
who take a gloomy view of everything.
and see failure where there is success,
can never hope to improve their con-
ditions by will-o'-the-wisp methods.
Above all.the farmer should be hope
full and not easily discouraged, which
is i'm most cases unwarranted. Your
own efforts will do more toward sat
isfying the mortgage on your farm
than the political party with which
you may be allied.
Practical. scientific, well directed,
carefully-studied work are the farm
er's weapons with which TO combat
adversely and win the abundant prizes
nature offers. A disgruntled, apa-
thetic farmer. who thinks those of his
calling absolutely lost and can never
get out of debt, is a curse to any COM
munity.
The condition of the farming class
of the United States to-day is, in the
main, prosperous. An occasional "how-
Ter" is found in every section, but he
would be pessimistic in the Celestial

81. PauI. MINI. Feb. oath. 1898.

=
Our little boy was afflicted with hip dis
ease, or bone ulcer, when he was about
three years old. He suffered severely for
year and nine months. We had seven
different doctors for him, but they could
not cure him. They took out one piece of
bone about 81 inches long, the shape Of a
shoe, and one smaller piece. The hole in
his hip was about 81 inches deep, and the
sore kept running all the time. The doc
tors ordered us to keep the hole filed with
cotton, saturated with some kind of medi-
cine. This we did, and used probe to in
sert the cotton. We could introduce the
probe about 81 inches; and found by NOV
ing the probe about that there was large
cavity next to the bone, and we could feel
the bone with the probe. The child was
very pale, thin and weak and could not
sleep, and we had no hope of his recovery.
The treatment we gave him under the doc
tors directions did him no good. We final
ly commenced using Aliens Uterine Salve
and it soundly and permanently cured him
in about six months. He has been well
about four years and is strong and quite
feshy, but limps little on account of one
leg being a little shorter than the other.
He is q picture of health, and runs, scufiles
and plays with other boys as though moth
ing had been the matter with him. We be-
lieve Ulcerine Salve saved his life.

Indian Cure for Snake Dtte..

A full-blooded Greek Indian states
that an Indian never dies from the bite
of RATHER, and an Indian never dies
from the bite of mad dog. This is the
remedy: Let the snake go along about
his business" Run to the house, get
an onion about two inches in diameter,
and about three cents worth of strong
tobacco. Then get two tablespoonfuls Of
table salt. cut the tobacco up pretty
fine with a knife, mix the tobacco and
salt until it is well mixed. twill make
a poultice. Place this on the wound.
Make new poultice. Place this on the
wound. Make a new poultice every six
hours, and it will not even swell. Apply
as soon as possible.-Chicago Chronicle

Royal wedding Cakes.

Messrs. Bollard, of Chester, have
made the wedding cakes for the prince
of Wales and the royal family The
construction of these cakes tends to
become more and more marvellous every
year. The actual process of baking
lasts from five to seven hours, and at
this stage, when the tins are turned out
in the cake room, each cake resembles
nothing so much as one of the cele-
brated Cheshire cheeses. No cake is
sent out until it is matured for at least
six months, and the demand is of such
an extensive character that stock Of
over 1900 pounds is always kept in the
seasoning room.-Woman at Home.

soap and carbolic acid; also, the sad.
die, harness and grooming utensils
should be washed with warm water
and soap, and it would be all the bet
ter to follow this with an application
of corrosive sublimate diluted in wa
ter, ten grains to the ounce of wa
ter; then air and dry them thorough
ly. To follow this washing by sprin-
king of sulphur on the parts coming
next the horse, is highly recommend
ed. Some Of these precautions. may
seem unnecessary, but where the dis
ease has been of long standing the in
lection is difficult to eradicate.
Among the many remedies for this
disease we find the following recon-
mended as equal to the best, if not the
very best: Sperm oil, six ounces; oil
of tar, three ounces; lac sulphur, two
ounces: mix these well and apply
by means of brush. The skin of the
horse, however, should be well washed
before the remedy is applied. The
remedy should be applied again at the
end of the second or third day. Thus
the treatment should be continued un-
til cure is effected.
The first steps in the treatment of
distempered horses is to keep them
warm and comfortably sheltered; and
if in severe weather, have the chill
taken off the water by giving them
Cruel. For the swollen glands beneath
the ears, and the tumors that form
there, poultice of poplar bark, slip
perry elm, linseed and lobelia, equal
parts, moistened with vinegar and wa
ter, should be used. And to give re-
lief to the passages of the head and
nostrils. When the tumors are ripe,
cause the pus to discharge from the
throat, pour slowly a small quantity
of tincture of lobelia and vinegar on
n hot stone or chovel. and have the
horse 10 inhale the steam. This should
be continued at short intervals to
which is indicated by becoming soft
where the matter forms, they should
be lanced, and relief will generally
follow. And to facilitate and increase
the discharge from the tumors, the
bandages on them should be kept mod
erately tight; and they should be
sponged occasionally with cold in
fusion of bay berry bark. If the
bowels become inactive, which often
occurs, give injections composed of
four drachms powdered aloes and one
drachm common salt, which will pro-
mote action.
AS the horse begins to improve, and
will partake of food, begin with Cruel,
then advance on the mashes, boiled
oats or green food, but no corn until
he is pretty well recovered. In the
feed may be given two ounces pow
dered gentian, one ounce licorice root,
this divided into six equal parts; this
will be strengthening and otherwise
helpful.-James /. Baird, in Agricul-
tural Epitomist
