Extreme Observation-Disclosures.

A local railroad official is an ex-
tremely absent-minded man. He fire.
quently forgets to go to lunch, and it
Is usually necessary to remind him
that it is time for dinner. His wife,
knowing his little peculiarities, is his
pther self, and looks carefully after
his affairs at home. She sees to it
that he does not go downtown with
one yellow and one black shoe, and
keeps his cuffs carefully separated.
The strange thing about it is that he
never, under any circumstances for
gets business affair of any sort, or
confuses identities or anything of that
kind in connection with the railroad,
but he will return his sister-in-law's
bow with distant stare, or an absent
blinded touch of the hat. One day, a
couple of weeks ago, he ran up to the
lakes to spend a few hours with his
wife and family She had arranged
for game Of golf, of which he is pas
sionately fond, and he spent the after
loon playing foursome, winning with
pis partner against his wife and an
other man. That night he got on the
train at the little station, his wife and
the children having gone down with
lin. He babe them fond farewell,
and then, after he had settled his
effects in the sleeper, wrote tele-
gram, which he addressed to his wife
ct st. Louis, to this effect: Twill be
lone $50 Friday. Won golf game to-
'ay."-St. Louis Republic.

Lambs on Screenings.

One of the great Industries at South
st. Paul is sheep feW'ing. Last win
ter nearly 100000 sheep and lambs
were fattened at that point and vicin-
lty. The Stock Yard Company has
capacity for feeding about 100000
head. The barns or sheds are made
to hold punches of 1000 and 5000.
The barns holding 1000 are rented to
feeders at $3.50 per year. Feeders buy
screenings at the great Minneapolis
mills and hay wherever they can get
1t the cheapest. At present ground
corn is worth $11.50 per ton, screen.
ings $3.50 per ton, and hay $4,000
$500 per ton. Feeders mix hay with
heavy screenings, merely for bulk,
and straw is used to good advantage.
On straight screenings it takes about
30 days to fatten sheep and ITO to 100
days to fatten lambs.

Leather Preservative.

There is nothing so detrimental to
boots and shoes as the penetrating
water of melting snow, which soon
gives the leather a red appearance,
making it become very brash. In this
condition they soon wear through

sentative can be made as follows:
Take a quart Of best neat's-foot oil
and mix with a pound of melted tai.
low. To give the proper color, add
about 2 OF. of what is called drop
black" along with nearly 1 OF. of
Prussian blue. Pour in cans and allow
to cool. This will make you the very
best of oil for the footwear, soft
enough that it can be applied easily,
of a good black color, and will keep
trying the leather pliable during the
most trying weather. 1t should be
applied once week at least all win.

TRoTTIN' HOME.

When the sun is climbin' noonward,
an you hear the dinner bell,
An you're hot as all creation, but
yer appetite is well,
Then it's leave the steamin' furrow
whar yer boss is fecked with
foam
An it's glory hallelujah when the
mules are trottin' home!
They know the time for dinner-the
plowboys give yell;
The mules they start to brayin' when
they hear the dinner bell!
There's never sweeter music where
white the daisies foam
Than the clankin' of the trace-chains
when the mules are trottin' home.
Then it's oh, to be a farmer, an hear
the noon bells chime,
An rest beneath the oak tree In the
watermelon time.
For life is then worth Twin, an
sweet as honeycomb,
When the dinner-bell is ringin' an
the mules are trottin' home!

Chicken feathers are growing in de-

dry-picked. White duck feathers
would sell for as much as goose
feathers IL It were not for the fact
that they have an odor that 1t Is i'm.

makes but little difference, but the
black ones are the least desirable.

Important Factors Ia the Campaign.

From the New York World.l
 The democrats are unquestinnably helped greatly by these factors in the presidential campaign:
 1. The support of Mir. Bryan by two of the ablestand most effective of Mir. MeKinlsy's advorates in 1696. Carl Schurz and Bourke Cochran, and by ex-Secretary olney and many other prominent gold democrats and inde- pendenas who stand with them against McKinleyism.
 2. lis support on the anti-imperi- alist issue by ex-Seeretary Boutwell,, Thomas W. Higginson and many other representatives of the intellect and conscience of the republican party in it's better days.
 3. The fact, which Mir. Bryan and other democratic speakers are bring ing to public notice, that the undoubt- ed prosperity of the country has been and is very unevenly distributed. While railroads, bankers, manufacturers and speculators have grown richer, the in creased cost of living has in many in- stances more than offset every advance in wages, while persons with small fixed incomes have gained no advan- tage whatever.
 4. The undeniable fact that trusts and other monopolies have greatly multiplied sinee the republicans came into power, and that nothing whatever has been done or honestly attempted to punish or to prevent them.
 5. Last-and perhaps yet to be the most important of all-the great coal strike. It is not impossible that this will be, even more than was the Home stead trouble so hurtful to MT. Harri- son in 1892, an object-lesson on the eff fects of monopoly that no fapdoodle about 'fnil dinner pails" will be able to offset; and this despite the fact so strongly proclaimed by President Mitchell that '4polities will not, can not and must not enter into the strike"
 In actual effective work the cam paign is still young. As veteran campaigner said yesterday: "The democrats have only just begun tc i fight"

that to apply the doctrine c rights only to superior classes is "the vanguard of returning ism" Mir. Bryan rightly reg; acquisition of territory with a making it subject and tributi not a self-governing and cor part of the American Unio, policy of Empire. Mir. Bryan l holds that the formal accepta sanctioned inauguration of thi means imperialism and mil big standing armies and excess tion, and oligarchy of rich n disappearance of the Rep' Jefferson and Lincoln.
 This is a striking present personal conviction, and it is by the facts in the case. Mir son declares that every vote Bryan this year is a vote imperialism, militarism and

A Patriots Views.
From the St. Louis Republic.l l

MT. Thomas Wentworth Higginson, one of the most distinguished living New Englanders, a writer and publicist of high standing, Colonel of regi- ment in the Union army during the Civil War, feels himself compelled to support Mir. Bryan in the present cam paign and gives five excellent reasons for so during.
 Mir. Higginson believes Mir. Bryan to be worthier of support because he has proved himself to be leader of men, whereas MT. Mckinley has shown him. self that most dangerous of Presidents, a man who is controlled by the will of stronger men around him. Mir. Bryan has taken the ground, in accepting im- perialism as the paramount isspe of this campaign, that considerations of national principles are above considera- tions of finance. Mir. Bryan has ex- pressly reafirmed Lincoln's principle

l. All acknowledgements of applica- tions to make entries of land must be made at the district land office or be- fore clerk of a court of record in the county where the land applied for is situated, and if made before a clerk the necessity for doing so must be shown.
 ?. All applicants for land entries must show that they are citizens of the United States, either by birth or naturalization, or to have declared their intentions of becoming citizens, and if not native born, certificate of naturalization or of the declaration must accompany the application. 3. 4 woman who applies to make homestead entry must show that she is either femme sole, widow, de- serted wife CT the head of family by reason of having others dependent up on her. All homestead applicants must show that they are over the age of 2l years or the head of the family A. All applicants to make desert land entries must show that they are over the age of 2l years, citizens of the United States and residents of the territory,
 5. A married woman cannot make . homestead entry, except she be quail flied as above stated, but she has the same right to make desert land entry as man.
 6. Atidavits of contests or for leave of absence must be made before no- tary, justice of the peace, or any other officer qualified to administer oaths.
 '. Testimony in contests may be taken by any officer residing near the land in controversey. when so ordered by the registrar and receiver.
 8. Ownership of land is restricted to 320 acres to one person; this can be taken part under the desert laud act and the rest as a homestead, or it may be all taken under the desert act, in which event the party would not be entitled to the homestead right.
 9. A desertentry can be made upon unsurveyed land, but a homestead en- try cannot, it not being necessary, as the actual settler is given the prefer ence right to make entry of the tract upon which he has settled and is liv- ing for period of 90 days after the official filing of the township plat in the land office.

Mr. Bryan's Letter.
From The New York Worldl

From The New York Worldl
 Though not so able and striking as his speech of acceptance, Mr. Bryan's letter is much shorter and more to the point than was Mir. McKinley's.
 Imperialism having been exhaustive ly discussed in his speech, Mir. Bryan devotes his letter, as promised to the other blanks of the national platform, though still, in his closing paragraphs reaffirming that imperialism is the paramount issue" and that ''no other question can approach it in import ance."
 Of the subordinate issues Mr. Bryan gives trusts and monopolies the first place, and well says that
 "The appalling growth of combina- tion in restraint of trade during the present Administration proves conclu- sively that the. republican party lacks either the desire or the ability to deal with the question effectively" He repeats his suggestions as to spe- cific remedies, but this pledge goes directly to the point:
 eff elected shall appoint an At rney-General who will, without fear or favor, enforce existing laws"
 This is what the country needs more than new laws-and what it has never had under any administration, demo cratic or republican. And this is the strongest point in MT. Bryan's favor Nobody questions that he would ap point such an Attorney-General, anc sustain him with all the great powe of the executive office. Nor does any body doubt that if President Mckinley shall be reelected we shall have tn same or another corporation lawyer and trust promoter as Attorney Gen eral.

Tewksbury and Graham Feud.
IFrom the coohise Reviewl

From the Coehise ReView1
 The most desperate feud ever known in the southwest grew out of an attempt to graze sheep in Pleasant Valley, in upper Tonto Basin, Arizona. The noted Tewks5ury brothers under took the engineering of the operation. They succeeded. But when the sheep side of the controversy had forged to the front thirty-two men were dead. Tine casualties were not incurred in pitched engagements. The fighting continued during year or longer in the late eighties. It was done in Ken lucky vendetta style. Most of the men who went over the divide were mbushed on mountain trails and shot in the back.
 A Tewksbury household was be- seiged by dozen members of the Graham faction, the opposing party. When an old man, Al Rose, went out in the early morning for pail of wa ter, he was shot and killed within if ty feet of the doorstep. And there the corpse lay unburied for three days in the full glare of the summer sun. The men within the house, stolid in their suffering from thirst, appealed for per mission to bury their dead. It was denied them.
 This was only fair sample of the atrocities that marked the progress of the feud. The Pleasant valley war ended only when all the surviving combatants together with most of their neigh bors were gathered up and taken to Prescott by 8 squadron of Yavapai county officers, headed by Sheriff William O'Neill, the same Buckley O'Neill who was killed before San Juan hill, leading his troop oi Rough Riders.
 A soothing influence was also exert ed by Sheriff Commodore Owens, o. Apache county, who caught four O the sheep faction in house at Hol brook. The four broke from the house by four different routes, through doors and windows, hoping to pot the sher if by divided fire. All alone ht calmly started to pump his Wincheste rife, apparently needless of the raii of lead. When he had finished tn four were dead, and the cool 'littl' sheriff had not a scratch. At the las only a single male of the Graham blood remained alive. He gave up th fight and fled to the Salt River vale, where he married and settled down t a quiet farm life. While marketinI his first cropof grain he was shot fror ambush on the road to Tempe.

But sharp lawyer found that the clerk of the court had failed to en. ter the plea of Not Guilty" though the notes of the court stenographer showed the plea had been made in proper form so the case was twice re- tried with hung juries, and finally the prisoner was turned loose.'
