to thoroly wet the grain. Filling the wheat on a barn floor anc sprinkling 1t with the solutions vii not give the desired results. IL i. better to fill barrel two thirds or three-fourths full of wheat and then
 pour in enough of the solution to
 more than cover the seed. The
 barrels can be arranged with plug
 near the bottom, by means of which
 the liquids con be drawn offa the
 proper,time and used again in the
 treatment of another batch of
 wheat.
 This method of treatment with
 copper sulphate and lime solutions
 is the one commonly practiced and usually recommended for the pre-
 vention of "stinking smut" If
 handled according to the direction given above, there need be no fear from this disease. In this work, as in all others, the farmer should be thoughtful and clean in his opera tiOns. After the wheat Is treated, it should not be put back in smutty sacks, nor in bins which have had smutty wheat in them, without first destroying the smut. This can be done by treating both sacks and bin with copper sulphate solution of twice the strength quoted above, or by thoroly soaking with boiling water. The seeder should also be thorolY soakeb, cleaned and the box and cups treated with either boiling water or strong solution of copper sulphate.
 It must be constantly born in mind that copper sulphate is a poison. Care should. therefor, be taken that chickens and stock be not allowed to eat the treated wheat.
 There is practically no danger in planting in ground which produced l smutty crop the previous year. If clean seed is planted, no smut will be raised.
 There are many other species of smut, and doubtless some of them 10 considerable injury in Arizona put this "Hint" is intended to cover .he question of "stinking smutn only. Indeed, botanists recognize TWO species of "stinking smut" put the treatment given above will destroy both.

ALLEN S STORE SOLD
Successful Dry Goods Man Retires
From Business.

\ sale of considerable magnitude
| has recently been consummated in this
city, whereby the large dry goods store
belonging to z. A. Allen changes
hands.
The purchasers are c. F. Leicham
and son. formerly of Marathon. Texas.
and il is understood that the price
paid was $4,000.
r. A Allen Las been in business in
Ell Paso for number of years He
started on very small scale and by
strict attention to business soon ac-
quired one of the most profitable
| trades in the city. When he first
| came here he was an employee of The
Herald, but soon branched out and
with his savings opened small es-
| Establishment of his own on St. Louis
street. In fat il was so small il is
said that his entire stock would at
| that time have filled only one dry
goods box and that without crowding.
But Allen lew how to take care of
his money and reach out and it was
not long until his business venture
| was paying him handsome income.
1t is not yet known whether he in
| tends to remain in the city and if so
what line of business he expects to
| embark in. His successful career in
mercantile life may well be pointed
| to as an evidence of what young
man without capital may accomplish
| in the southwest who gives strict at
tention to legitimate business meth

The army has not been called in to

only incidents to which Mr.. Bryan can
possibly have referred are the Chica-

the Chicago case a democratic preSi
dent. on the official advice of Rich

United States, employed federal sol
diers TO protect federal courts and
their rightful authority. to protect
public property, and to protect the

d'Alene case, President Mckinley. on
the duly preferred request of demo-
cratic and Bryanite governor, employ
ed federal soldiers to protect a state

experience on that eventful night
how the train stopped and he heard
the shooting; how some one shot at
him and he replied; how he was hit
and tainted: how he revived when the
men entered the car and then tainted
again. He was unable to give a clear

that they wore masks and high heeled

REPUBLICAN NATIONAL TICKET
LABOR AND THE PREACHER.

We often hear these days the state
ment that the average preacher is out
of touch with the stream of things
that he lives in books and surmises.
does not go to human life itself for his
themes. 1t is not our purpose to dis
cuss this charge now. but it is referred
to merely by way of introduction of a
subject that has become increasingly
important during the last five or ten
years-the place of the preacher in po-
litical and socio-civic life. The ques-
ton is. has a preacher the right, ac-
cording to his chosen calling. to en-
deavor to incite the passions and pre-
JUDGES of men by cheap and false ap-
peals to the baser side of their intel
lect?
That preachers do sometimes talk
without knowing what they are talk
ing about no one will deny. That
they often do real harm by dragging in
the name of the Christian religion and
that of the Savior where they are. to
say the least. in uncongenial environ
ment, cannot be questioned. That by
so doing they not only lower them
selves but cast stigma on all that
they profess to represent. is automatic.
A specific instance of this wretched
lack of discrimination is found in the
conduct of a Congregational minister
of Topeka. DIR. ID. NJ. Fisk, who. hav-
ing been called upon to make an adj
dress before meeting OF workingmen
chose for his theme. Why has labor
been despised?"
The question is both an insult to the
men to whom he addressed himself.
and a fit example OF a baseless appeal
to blind prejudice and other low in
stincts in man. The preacher in choos-
ing this theme declares openly his
purpose to- incite the baser passions
in his hearers. Starting with pre-
mise that is absolutely false. this mis-
guided preacher does his best to stir
up a class hatred that does not now
exist actively. and to array one por-
ton of the people against another in
a way that the arch demagogue, Bryan
himself could hardly excel.
Who has dared he cries. Ito

plTIEUL CASE
OF the Italians NhO Were Shipped
into Mexico Unde- False pre-
lenses

The immigration authorities at this
port were relieved somewhat yester-
day by the announcement of Dr.
Squires that the Italians that were
headed this way in such great num-
bers, had been turned back by the
Mexican authorities.
DIR. Squires is the chief surgeon of
the Mexican Central railroad and is in
position to know the situation thor
oughly. He says there were over a
thousand coming this way from Vera
cruz but when it was learned that yell
low fever was among them the MeXi-
can officials turned them back. A few
might have escaped but the authori-
ties in the south are keeping a close
watch on them.
The doctor tells a pitiful story of
the fate of the Italian colony that
was broken up near Veracruz this
summer. He says they were brought
to that place by Italian trading COM
panies who sold them land for which
they paid all their available cash. At
ter they had worked hard to improve
the land the former owners came in
and claimed the land. and had no
trouble in proving that they had never
given title to it. The unfortunate
immigrants had to move off and lose
all they had paid besides their work
After they were driven from their
homes they went to Veracruz to find
work and there yellow fever broke out
among them and killed about a hun
dred. They attempted to come to the
United States but were driven back
by the authorities. They are now
scattered along the east coast and
making a very Scant living with prac-
tically no hopes of doing better.
