The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-08-14

Where alfalfa can be successfully
raised it should be grown for use in
the dairy. 1t is a very serviceable
plant for the production of protein,
and is far more valuable in its pro-
tein contents than most of our tables
show. 1t is generally figured that al
falfa hay contains 1915 per cent of
digestible protein, but it sometimes
greatly exceeds that. AT the Kansas
Agricultural College good alfalfa hay
analysed as high as Is per cent of
digestible protein, which is far in ex-
cess of ordinary bran. This would in
dictate that a ton of alfalfa contains
digestible nutrients far in excess of
its commercial value. The lesson to
be drawn is, that alfalfa should be
freely used where easily obtainable.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1900-08-14

The makers and consumers of dairy
products everywhere should make a
vigorous fight against the use of any
chemicals in butter and milk. The
large prevalence of disease like
Bright's disease is believed to be due
to the adulteration of food. The gem
eral public has sunk into a state of
carelessness in the matter, and TAX
the authorizations as a matter OF
course. Farmers are in a position to
exert a salutary influence on the sit
uation. When a druggist advertises
drugs for the preservation of milk and
butter, he should be given to under
stand by the farmers that p%atronize
him, that he is making war on the
public health.

BLOOMSBURY, Pa THURSDAY, DECEMBER lS 1900

Testimony Of like nature was offered
by Elwood Knouse, of Benton, after
which the defense rested the case.
Fred Ikeler, for the defendant.
addressed the Jury first. He explained
how easily such an accident might
happen at any time. He spoke for
fully three quarters of an hour. His
plea was an eloquent one.
Dlrtrict Attorney John G. Harmar,
for the Commonwealth closed with a
strong plea to the Jury. He reviewed
the evidence and said that under the
circumstances it would be impossible
to return anything but verdict of
guilty. The address was sublmated
by the use of choice language, and
the speaker gave all his power in the
presentation of it.
Judge Little charged the Jury at
1880 p. m, Thursday, after which
that body retired. They were unable
TO agree until ten o'clock Friday night,
when verdict of manslaughter was
returned.
The verdict appears to give general
satisfaction.
1t is said that counsel for Goss will
apply for new trial.

Mrs. Ella Fox Gilbert sang at the
Institute last week, and at the even
ing entertainment on Tuesday. On
Sunday morning she sang "The Lost
Chord" in St. Paul's Church as an Of
fertory, and did it beautifully. Her
voice seems to improve each time we
hear her sing. 1t is round, full, sweet,
and sympathetic, the kind of voice
that makes the heart thrill, and brings
tears to the eyes. Mr.. Hummer's ac-
compartment was exceedingly well
played.
Mrs Gilbert sang in the M. E.
Church Sunday evening, and those
who heard her say that it was fully uI
to her usual standard. She is singing
this week at the Sunbury Teacher:
Institute.

The Republican Platform.

Champ Clark analyses the Republic
can platform adopted at Philadelphia
In bis usual searching aud comparative
manner rs follows:
1.-THE Republican ticket nominated
at Philadelphia is as good a ticket for
them ~ they could nominate" he said
'but | don't believe any ticket they
could nominate can be elected. There
is no sense in disparasing the person
atty Of candidates Mckinley is a
handsome, gracious, graceful, agreeable
gentleman. Roosevelt was q brave
soldier and lac Is calculated 10 get up
As much of hurrah campaign as pos
sible Tot any Republican to do under
tho circumstances But candidates
cannot be separated from the Issues fur
which they stand. | don't believe
anything they could have done at Phil.
adclphia would save them from defeat
believe that IN voting q sealed ballot
on the question Of imperialism alone.
disconnected from party associations,
niue.lenlhs OF the American voters
would vote the way the Democrats will
vote this fall. The Democrats will
carry New York, Kentucky, Indiana
and Delaware, which will give Bryan
many electoral votes to spare.
The platform adopted at PhIladel-
phla Is tissue Of historic falsehoods
aud gliitcring generali,ies For In
stance, they say they renew their feal-
~ tc the gold standard, VIXEN as a
matter Of fact In 1896 they declared
for international blmesalism aud never
did declare for the gold standard ill
they got together in Phiiidelphia.
Consequently II Is an absurdHy, as well
IS = lie, TO renew tealty to thing that
they neyer had declared for. In 1896
they claimed TO be better silver men
thsn we we're, declaring that llsair plan
was moro feasible than ours, aud flhsy
hadn't played that confidence game on
the people there would not have been
any Republican Congress to pass 3
money biIl nor a Republican Ptesi-
dent to sign II.
''lu their platform they claim all the
glory Of the Spanish war. That war
did not originate in partisan politics
and oughin'l to be dragged into parti.
san politics. But u they want TO drag
it In they will get heroic dose OF It.
That war produced five men who, with
more or lcss propriesy, may be termed
heroes---Dewey, schley, Geoerai joe
Wheeler, lIobson and Roosevcli.--four
Democrats aud only one Republican.
The possibilities arc tina. the samc pro-
portion holds good among the lessee
officers and priyaies.
s'The most ridscalous thing 10 the |
platform was pointing with pride to
the honesty Of Republican cisrlsls. and !
naming Cuba as a place where virtue
had been displayed, whereas Nicely, |
Raihbcno q Company have done the
most colossal piece Of stealing 10 the |
history of the Republic
''Anybody can read that platform |
like old Harper Of Kentucky ras bis |
horacs--srom cen to eaa--@ad when |
through reading IL cant tell whs. The |
Republicans policy rs with reference TO |
the possessions No took from Spain. .
