France Has 8 Substitute for the British
 Cat O Nine Tails.

France Has Substitute for the British
 Cat O Nine Tails.
 Some of the French newspapers have been telling about the new method of whipping men which had just been introduced experimentally into some of the penitentiaries and colonies of France. The instrument bears the pleasing name of ethe electric cat" and PEleetrician expresses the scientific opinion that it is great improvement apon the Russian knout and the cat O nine tails, which, it says, still unfor- tunately figures in mauy penal colo nies and in the penitentiaries of so- called civilized states. The method of this new whipping machine is very simple and business-like. The culprit who has been sentenced to undergo the lash Is tied to post in the usual man. her. Behind him is a wheel driven by an electric motor, which goes round with velocity that is unpleasant for the victim. The velocity may be regu. lated, however, according to the sever- ity of the trouncing to be adminis- tered. Attached to one of the spokes is a whip which swings around the circle and the culprit is placed at such an angle with reference to the instru- ment of fagellation that every time 1t comes around 1t nips him squarely on the back. It is claimed for the new invention that It dispenses justice i'm. partially and equally. It has no ani- mus against the prisoner, It's blows are given with equal intensity, and it bet ter fulfills the idea of even-handed justice than manual flogging, vhich ia likely to distribute penalties very un- svenly.--PhiladelDh Times.

The Scent Cure


 Interesting experiments with the odors of herbs have from time to time been made, and 1t has been found that many species of microbes are easily destroyed by various smells. The odor of cloves has been Known to destroy microbes in thirty five minutes; cinnamon will kill Aome specias in thirty-five minutes; thyme in thirty-ive. In forty-fye minutes common wild yerbena is found effective, while the odor of mint has destroyed various forms of microbes xa seHtsy-fve minutes, and it is recorded AS the most effective of all odors as ar antiseptie. It is now be- iieved that herbs which have been found ln Egyptian mummies were placed on the bodies more for their antiseptic properties than as mere os- pamerta or objects of sentiment

Thoroughbred.

The important difference between
good stock and poor stock is this the
good stock can be put in the hi CHEST
condition either for milk or. beef pro
duction, or both, but the poor stock
can never do any better than fair. It
is often the case that the farmer will
keep an animal that actually yields
him less money than he could get for
the feed it consumes to say nothing
about the extra work involved in its
care. Good animals arc to be found
among all breeds, or among common
stock. 1t is undoubtedly a fact that
there is more first class stock among
the full bloods, but they are expensive.
After all it is the individual animal
that the farmer must depend on and
not on pedigree, and such animals are
to be found among most breeds.-Free-
born Times. 3.

Indian Agent J. II. Sutherland of
White Earth Indian agency was in
town Monday enroute- to Mile Laca
lake where he goes to pay the Chip
pewa Indians their annual per capita
advance interest payment. Mai.
Sutherland will disburse among
the Mile Laes Chippewas about S.. 900.
but as he does not know exactly how
many OF the Indians there are on the
reservation at the lake the exact
amount per capita cannot be deter.
mined until he has counted the Indians.
He was accompanied to-day by two
clerks, an Indian policeman and an in
terpreter and it is expected that the
work at the lake will require a weeks
time to perform it. The amount to be
paid is from the interest on the monev
collected and to be accumulated from
the sale of the Indian pine under the
Nelson treaty of 1896. It is really an
advance payment on the part of a
generous and benevolent government.

Against BOlland.

The pine land case of ]. M. Bolland
VS.. O'Neil Bros, g Mile Lacs county
case tried in this county at late term
OF court, came up again Saturday when
the attorneys submitted a stipulation
to waive a jury trial and to use in the
record the same evidence as had been
given at the previous trial. J. N.
searles, the Saltwater attorney and
attorney for the defendants, then
moved to dismiss the action for the
reason that the plaintiff had not made
out case. The motion was granted,
Attorney Calhoun for Bolland excepted
and a stay of thirty days was taken.
At the first trial verdict in several
thousand dollars was secured by plain
tiff and an appeal will probably be
taken from the decision of this term

DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES
By SILVER REPUBL leans

Kansas City. July 6-Following is the
platform adopted by the silver Repub
dcan national convention:
We, the silver Republican party in
national assembly declare these as our
principles and invite the cooperation
of all who agree herewith:
We recognize that the principles set
forth in the declaration of American
independence are fundamental and
everlastinsly true in their application
TO governments among men. We be-
Ieve the patriotic words of Washing
tons farewell address to be the words
of soberness and wisdom. inspired By
the spirit of right and truth. We
treasure the words of jefferson as
priceless gems of American statesman
ship. We hold in sacred remembrance
the broad philanthropy and patriot
ism of Lincoln, who was the great in
terpreter of American history and the
great apostle Of human rights. and of
industrial freedom. and we declare, as
WIS declared by the convention that
nominated the great emancipation, that
the maintenance of the principles pro-
mulgated in the declaration of indie
pendenCe and embodied in the federal
constitution. that all men are created
equal: that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable rights.
that among these are those Of life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness; that
10 secure these rights, governments are
instituted among men, deriving their
just rights from the consent Of the
EOverned'-is essential to the preser-
walton of our Republican institutions.
BIMETALLISM.
We declare cur adherence to the
principle of bimetallsm as the right
basis Of a monetary system under our
national constitution. A principle that
found place repeatedly in Republican
platforms. from the demonstration Of
silver in 1873. to the st. Louis Repub-
ICan convention of 1896
Since TINT convention a Republican
congress and a Republican president.
at the dictation of the trusts and
money power. has passed and approved
a currency bill. which in itself is a re-
pudiation of the doctrine Of bimetallism
advocated heretofore by the president
and every great leader of his party.
This currency law destroys the fun
money power of the silver dollar pro-
vides for the payment Of all govern
ment obligations. and the redemption
of all forms of paper money in gold
aione-retires the time-honored and
patriotic greeubacks. constituting one
sixth of the money in circulation, and
surrenders to banking corporations the
sovereign function of issuing all paper
money, thus enabling these corpora
tons 20 control the prices Of labor and
property by increasing or diminishing
the volume Of money in circulation,
thus giving the banks power to create
panics and bring disaster upon bust
ness enterprises.
The privisiOns of this currency law
baking the bonded debt of the re-
FIbIic payable in gold alone changes
the contract between the government
and the bond-hOlders to the advantage
of the latter and is in direct opposition
10 the declaration Of the Matthews
resolution. passed by congress in 1873.
for which resolution the present Re
publican president, then a member Of
congress, voted, as did also all leading
