Miss Inger 4Arentzen has resigned
her position as organist at the Danish
Lutheran church. During the year
that Miss Arentzen had been in the
choir many changes for its improve
ment have been made and her work at
the organ will be greatly missed. AS
token of the appreciation in which
she was held by the choir boys they
gathered at the photograph gallery
yesterday afternoon and had a large
picture made to be presented to the
retiring organist.
Fifty of the leaders in the Interna-
tiona1 Association of Machinists left
Chicago last night and this morning
to go to all the principal cities in the
United States for the purpose of work
ing up sympathetic strikes in aid of
the strikers in Chicago. They an
nounce that their mission will be to
visit every manufacturing city in the
United States for the purpose of secur-
ing the aid of machinists. OF course
the action of this committee and the
dire results to follow the success of
their undertaking will be apparent to
all. 1t is not known whether or not
the machinists in this city will b
asked to go out, but shon1d such a
course be adopted it will result in the
Gripping of all the industries in the
city.

grass and everything in that line that
an enterprising hen can utilize. Really
the hen has in that case balanced the
corn by other things and thus renders
the corn a good feed. Corn itself is a
very valuable food. and we would not

The man that has a desire to exhibit
birds for prizes at the poultry shows
must expect to pay the price. If he
wants to stand chance Of winning
anything he must buy and breed only
the highest class of birds. We hear
of people buying cheap stock and at
tempting to raise prize winners from
them. The policy is foolish one
II man desires to. own the luxury
of prize winning fowls there is no
cross-cut-he must breed along stan
dard lines and from birds that have
scored we'll up towards the hundred
points mark.

CAMPAIGN OF FALSE PRETENSE

In 1896 the republicans ran a sue
cessful campaign on platform Of false
pretenses. Nearly every promise in
that platform has been basely violated.
They declared for international bimet-
allism, and instead Of trying to get
it, they establish the single gold stan
dard. They declared for the perma-
nency and extension Of the civil-serv-
ice rules, and then took 10000 Offices
from the merit system and turned them
over to the spoils system. They de-
clared for tariff which was to miti-
gate by reciprocity. They gave us the
tariff, good and hard, but they now
busily engage in killing the reciproc-
ity. Under that platform reciprocity
treaties were made with certain favor
ed nations and at the request Of the
protected industries Of this country
every one of those treaties will be re-
jected. Here Is what an able writer
says about the present condition Of
those treaties:
"Why these manifestations Of sur
prise because republican senators
are whetting their knives to deal a
death blow to the pending reciprocity
treaties with France, the Argentine
Republic and the British West Indies?
One would suppose that the republic
cans national platform of 1S96,of which
one of the strongest features was its
reciprocity plank, was intended to be
taken seriously. The reciprocity trea-
ties will be done to death by the same
hypocritical senators who insisted that
a vote-getting platform must necessar-
lily denominate protection and reci-
procity as twin measures of repub-
lican policy. Great is humbug, and
with the tariff wall tecure the repub-
lican senators are preparing to exc
cute war dance upon reciprocity's
grave. But can the American people
be humbugged twice in succession"

HOW TO STRIKE A TRUST.

1t would take congress only an hour
or two to pass the following resolu-
ton, which would operate manifestly
in the public interest, but the power Of
monopoly is too great for the resist
ance of the men who were elected to
legislate for the people:
Resolved, That the duties on print
ing paper, which shelter a gigantic
trust monopoly in the work Of spOila-
ton, and which are tax on popular
education and knowledge, be and the
same hereby epealed.-Philadelp
Record.
The above remedy might partially
cure the evils complained of, and it
would certainly do some good, but the
Omaha Nonconformist gives a better
remedy. The government uses an i'm
mense amount of paper in the public
service, and it ought to get it at the
lowest possible price. Inasmuch as
the paper trust is robbing the govern
ment as well as the people, why
should not the United States make its
own paper and get its raw material
where it can be had the cheapest?
Why could it not also manufacture all
the paper needed in the country charg-
ing a trifle over cost to cover expenses?
Wouldn't this wake up all the trusts
and bring them to realizing sense of
their awful condition? The paper
trust by its omen and bare-faced eX-
tortion has made itself a public enc
my, it is entitled to no kindly consid-
Grafton, and it ought to be crushed by
the peoples trust. When this is done
there will no longer be tax on popu-
lar education and universal knowledge.

CONSCIENCE.

We have received the first number Of
a new magazine called Conscience"
1t is published at Berthoud, Colorado,
by w. T. Phelps. We never heard Of
this town before. but suppose 1t is
the literary center of the Rocky Noun
tains. Anyhow. RICH good thing has
come out of Nazareth. We are glad
the people of Colorado have a con-
science, one that is active, earnest, in
telligent, and we hope 1t will be able
to do a large and increasing business
in its new home. Conscience" is a
socialistic publication and is fully up
with the most advanced thought of the
age. 1t deserves success and we hope
1t will get what 1t deserves. The in
crease of socialistic literature clearly
shows the increase Of socialistic senti-
ment. The old papers of that faith
are rapidly increasing their circulation
and new papers are being added almost
every week. There seems to be room
for all of them, and therefore Con-
science ought to succeed for 1t is
among the very best.

IOWA AND THE BOERS.

A resolution of sympathy with the
Beers was introduced into the Iowa
legislature. 1t was killed by vote of
fifty-seven to twenty-five. The minor
ity was composed of six Republicans
and sixteen Democrats. The majority
were all Republicans. The six Repub-
licans voting for the resolution were
from counties having large German
and Dutch vote. Those fifty-seven
Republicans were wise and thought
full men. They realized that it would
be cruel to censure the British for
their cruel war in Africa when Nc
Kinley is carrying on the same kind
of war in Asia. If they justify our
government in it's war of greed and
conquest they cannot denounce the
British government for following in
our footsteps. Thus are the mouths
of all machine Republicans hermetical-
ly sealed by the action of Mckinley,
Hanna G. Co. They can no longer utter
a whisper in favor Of a brave people
struggling In the holy cause Of lib
erty. That party now follows the nag

M'KINLEY VS.. M'KINLEY.

Several years ago in speech against
Cleveland's administration, President
Mckinley used the following Ian
guage: you are setting up gold, the
money of the rich, and you are de-
stroying silver, the money of the poor,
you are destroying one of our precious
metals, one of our own products, de-
stroying silver and enhancing the
price of gold. You are determined to
contract the circulating medium, limit
the volume of money among the peo-
pie, make money scarce and therefore
dear" Now he advocates law max
ing gold the only standard of value,
changing silver into token money and
retiring the greenbacks which served
the country in the hour of battle and
civil strife. In all history is there a
single case to parallel this in abandon
ment of principles? Is not Mckinley
the most stupendous hypocrite OF all
the ages?

SIGN OF THE TIMES.

The Press Bulletin, the official paper
of the National Democratic committee,
is floating fusion colors at the mast
head. This will prove pleasant news
for Populists, for the Press Bulletin Of
ficially registers the sentiments of the
great masses of the Democracy. The
Republican papers of Kansas, Nebras-
ka and South Dakota, Idaho and other
states, have been Systematically quot
ing this Democratic leader" and
that Democrat leader" as being
against the "unholy alliance with
Populism," forgetting, of course, to
state that the persons quoted are the
Mark Hanna brand of Democrats who
put up the Palmer Buckner ticket in
1896. Willis J. Abbott, the present
editor of the Bulletin, is one Of the
most sagacious of men, has the cour-
age of his convictions and is the right
man in the right place.-Ex.

Incubator Cellar.

Herewith we illustrate an incubator
cellar described in the catalogue Of the
Reliable Incubator Company. We
quote part of the description:
ut costs only a small amount Of
money to construct flrst-class in
cubator house or half cellar, such as
is commonly used on the extensive
broiler farms and duck ranches in the
eastern states. Herewith Is shown
such a cellar, a reproduction Of one
in use on w. E. Crandall & Co.'s farm,
Floresville, Texas. and number Of
other large poultry farms, on which
Reliable Incubators are operated. The
exact plans for building such a cellar
are at the discretion OF the person
chiefly interested, but in the way Of
general directions, we submit the fol-
lowing:
Choose a well-drained location, free
from seep water, and excavate to a
depth of two or three feet. Two feet
is ample. For the walls brick or stone
can be used. If these are not available,
hardwood, or even pine plank will an
swer frst-rate, except that they will
not be as lasting Where the ground
is dry, plank will last several years.

Poultry Notes.

Pure Breeds as Layers.-It is no
question of fad, but a commercial fact,
that the pure breeds lay as we'll, they
fatten as well, as the mongrels, and the
contingent chances of profit in extra
prices obtained for pure breeds gives
them the decided advantage. First
crosses with pure breeds may actually
give higher averages in egg produc-
ton for the season, but one has to
set against this advantage the breeding
losses in the second season. 1t pays
best to keep to purity, and breed
amongst your pure breeds for the best
layers, or table birds, whichever may
be your particular object. So many
breeders have no object. They do not
much care either way. To such, Of
course, we have nothing to say.-Rural
World, (Eng)
In these columns we hars repeatedly
asserted that corn is not the proper
thing for hen to live on. Sometimes
we find man that does not believe
this, asserting that he gets good re-
turns from whole corn diet. On In
vestigation, however. you will gener-
ally find that the hens that do well on
this ration have the run Of the farm

Build the side walls up to height OF
four or six feet, as desired, having
these walls half way below and half
way above the surface of the ground.
Build the end walls up to peak to fit
closely under the roof. The roof will
need to be we'll built. Use for the
roof 2x6 pieces and if thought neces-
sary brace it with two uprights, one
placed at each end of the fairly good
sized skylight which is placed in the
center Of the roof. Cheap sheathing
will answer for covering the roof. On
this place six inches Of loose straw;
on the straw throw from six to ten
inches of earth-that excavated-ane
pack it down we'll. Use double wiz
dows for the skylight, leaving four to
six inches between them, and protect
the top one with a wire screen. 1t II,
no doubt best to have double or
vestfbule door, as there win be less
loss of heat when entering and coming
out, but this precaution is not really
necessary. The floor can be Of natural
earth or cement, as desired. An in
cubator cellar. built as above, will pre-
serve remarkably uniform tempera-
ture, regardless Of outside atmospheric
changes, and in such places hot air
and hot water incubators are on par
both naturally being at their very
best. On the large eastern farms the
incubator house or cellar is considered
of first Importance in the matter of
successful incubation, and where per-
sons in the west, northwest or south
think of embarking in the business on
a large scale, we advise the use of
a regular incubator cellar similar to
the one here described"

as to leave even that amount.-Cin-
cinnati Tribune.
Even the lawyers see there Is danger
in the accumulation of such vast os-
tates. All sorts and conditions Of men
are beginning to think on this subject
They see that something is wrong and
they are earnestly seeking a remedy
That remedy is not to be found in lin
iting estates at DEATH because that
would be so easily avoided. The rich
man would give away all of his prop
erty, exceeding the legal limit, while
he was still alive and your limitation
law would be dead letter. The remedy
must be applied to the living and not
the dead man. No person should be
allowed to own million dollars. No
man could accumulate that much
money honestly II there is no favofing
laws allowing special privileges.
When the people jointly own all the
means of production and transporta-
ton, there will be neither millionaires
nor paupers. II the commonwealth
owned the oil wells, as 1t should do,
Rockefeller would not be multimil-
lionaire. II the state owned the mines
there would be no coal barons to OPP
press us. II it owned the railroads
there would be no robbery in increas-
ing rates and banded pools. There is
no remedy short Of public ownership
fer our deliverance. VIII the people
be brave enough to adopt heroic rene
dies?

Easy Way of Feeding Calves.

There is no boy that has lived on
farm where dairying is done but
has trouble feeding the calves their
milk. This have found out by expe-
rience, writes a contributor to Dakota
Farmer. To remedy the trouble l
made some small stanchions. Six
inch boards are strong enough up and
down, with 2x4 and Tx4 at the top
and bottom. The width OF the stan
chions should be four inches for very
young calves and five inches will hold
calves as large as they are usually FED
milk. Allowing twenty-five inches for
each calf, will give room so that the
one next to the one that Is drinking
can not reach the pail and tip 1t over.
A boy can feed dozen calves this way
without getting mad. 1t is a good
plan to have a manger and feed some
oats as soon as the calves are through
drinking, land when they are turned
loose they will not suck each other.
Hay can be fed after the oats and the
stanchions will serve as feed rack.
When calves are fed in this way there
is never any trouble about breaking
the heifers to the stanchions when
they become cows.

deposits Of the savings banks are
larger than the combined deposits In
all Of the states which cast their cleo
toral vote for Bryan in 1896 as an evil

of Republican legislation. This Is
what the Hon. Salvationist Sulloway
of New Hampshire did in the house OF
representatives in his speech on the
currency bill. We are obliged to him
for the information which should be
sufficient to persuade all mortals who
live in the aforesaid states, as to their
wisdom in voting against party
whose legislation has kept them poor

WAR Is COSTLY.


, The war is. now costing England
92,000,000 a week. The original war
estimates madei.by Sir Michael Hicks
Beach are utterly inadequate to meet
such expenditure, and the cabinet will
propose as a means of meeting 1t an
increase of the income tax from to -
pence on pound. The measure, after
having been ihyefect five weeks, should
pay the running war expense. In ad-
dition it will be proposed to increase
the duties on beer and tobacco and a
mild tariff will. probably be inaugural

Selling Good Brood Mares.

The good brood mare is worth moro
to the farmer that can breed her than
she Is to the city man that expects to
wear her out in the service Of some
city establishment. In other words the
broodmare of proper type and free
from blemishes is worth more money
than she will sell for, unless the sale
be made to some breeder that can az
ford to pay more than the professional
horse buyers. Farmers have been max
ing ahe mistake of selling off their best
mares instead of holding on to them.
They say that the buyers would only
take the best, so they had to sell them
or nothing. But the buyers had to
have horses and if the farmers had
everywhere refused to sell their best
breeding stock the buyers would have
been compelled to take the second best.
The farmers would thus today be in
shape to breed from first-class stock
and raise horses such as the market
demands.
But we do not believe that all farm
ers have sold off their best stock.
though large number have done so.
A considerable portion have held onto
their mares that were of good size.
conformation and free from defects.
