and making preparations for winter.
1t is not an easy matter for mex
perienced people to conceive an idea
of good door for their chicken
coops, and we give here drawing
of one that we found George Moore,
of Maine, using, and which he said
had given perfect satisfaction.

The basis for this fodder rack is two
two-by-eightinch boards, each ten
feet long. These are rounded at the
ends like sled runners. Five two by
tours, each five feet four inches long,
are bolted to these boards, as shown in
the illustration, every four feet. There
are several two by fours, each four or
five feet long, spiked to the bridge

Odors Arising from Manure.

y When odors arise from the manure,
gaseous ammonia is escaping. This
should not be allowed. Sprinkling the
floors and cutters with dried muck,
road dust, plaster or super-phosphate
will help absorb the liquids and arrest
and hold the gases If the manure
mast be piled, frequent sprinklings
over the top with some of these mate
rialss will arrest atmospheric losses.

A MOST FAITHFUL
PUBLIC SERVANT
How the Reform Candidate for state
Treasurer Has Fought For the
People at Harrisburg.

Elisha A, Coray, Jr., is a native OF
Bradford county, Pa, 43 years of age.
He has resided in Luzerne county. at
West Pittston, for many years past.
After an academic education, he
learned the printers trade and be.
came reporter on the Pittston Even.
ing Gazette, which he served accepta-
bly, for six years. Taking an active
interest in politics, he became a mem.
ber Of the Republican county commit.
tee, and was also chairman of the
legislative district committee. In 1888
Mr.. Coray was elected to the legisa.
ture and reelected in 1890 Through.
out both terms he was an intelligent
and faithful legislator, exerting his
influence upon every occasion in favor
of honest and desirable legislation
and against everything of a dishonest
character, no matter from what
source II came. After five years of
retirement from public life, during
which time he established himself in
the real estate business, Mr.. Coray
was returned to the legislature, and at
once took leading position in the
house. In the senatorial contest of
1897 he opposed the candidacy of Mr.
Penrose. During the session Mr.
Coray consistently and earnestly de-
Tended the public treasury against all
kinds of selfish schemes and unjust
bills. He was a thorn in the side of
the machine members whenever at.
tempts were made to secure illegal ex.
ira pay. through incidentals, special
expenses. etc. He continually called
attention to the pledges of the Re.
publican state platforms with regard
to reform bills and endeavored TO Sc
cure more efficient ballot law. Mr..
Coray was reelected to the house, in
Mr.. Quay's reelection to the senate,
and during the last session was par.
ticularly vigilant and active in pro-
tecting the public interests in every
possible way. All the iniquitous
measures that came before the house
he vigorously opposed. Upon many
occasions he called attention to the
times was threatened with personal
violence for the stand he took In thus
exposing machine trickery. 1t would
require much space to record in detail
Mr.. Coray's work during the five terms

state has been more courageous in the |
defense of the honor Of the common.

There seems to be no limit to the
audacity of the Quay machine. Its
disregard for the honor of the state
exceeds anything ever before wit
messed. The whole state govern
ment has been put to work in fran
tic effort to prevent its own condem-
nation at the polls. Governor Stone
has no sense Of self-respect or official
propriety; otherwise. he would not be
going about making stump speeches
that are in themselves extremely dis
creditable. The executive we'll knows
that the odious record of the past
three years cannot be successfully de-
Tended; hence his feeble attempts to
mislead the public, to excite the pre-
1udices of the ignorant, and to arouse
partisan feelings. But the people
surely have intelligence enough to see
through all this and to understand
what 1t means. The Quay ring would
be frightened into spasms If they
should wake up the morning after the
election and find that the brave Coray
had been commissioned to take charge
of the state treasury, to open the
books and turn IN the light. Let no

serving in Democratic conventions. In
1868 he was elected district attorney,
and in 1878 was chosen state senator,
being reelected in 1876. His legisla-
tive career was conspicuous for abil
ity and zeal in the performance of his
duty AS jurist, Judge Yerkes has
displayed superior ability, winning the
highest opinions from all classes Of
the people. He has been a terror to
evildoers and has held the scales of
justice evenly between litigants Near
the close of his first term all the
members of the bar, irrespective of
party, addressed to him a letter urg-
ing that he be candidate for re-
election. Unanimously nominated
again by the Democrats, he was in.

MAY CONFER WITH REINHARDT
No iciiOn Taken Yet by Council Regarding
Assistant City Solicitor

So far, no action has been taken by the
Democratic members of City Council re-
garding the appointment of an assistant
city solicitor
Said a prominent Democratic politician
this morning: I'm all probability there
win be conference in a short time be-
tween the Democratic members OF Council
and City Solicitor David J. Reinhardt, re-
gardlng the appointment of an assistant
city solicitor 1t.is a mistaken idea that
some people have that there is ill feeling
between representatives Of the two par
ties on the question. The Democrats de-
sire TO appoint a good man who can fulhl
the duties OF the office. There is no rea-
son why two men engaged practically in
the same business, even If they are of an
opposite political belief. should not con-
suit when the mutual benefit of both is
concerned"
Ii is probable that Mr. Reinhardt will be
asked to consult with the Council com
mttecs some time next week.
