when Music Was In Ill Repute.

The objection Of the nonconformist
conscience to musical instruments did
not stay at organs, but was extended
to tiddles and harps. The drum was
almost the sole instrument which was
not Babylonish and anti-Christian and
could be heard with no uncomfortable
scruples. Neither did that curious con-
science object simply to the use OF the
harp and the fiddle upon the village
green after the common evensong upon
Sunday afternoons, but objected to
them even upon the weekdays. TO be
harper or fiddler was ipso facto to
be a sinner. Any money earned by
playing harp or viol WAS the wages
Of iniquity. London Saturday Re

man who killed her.
There were only three of us left alive
out of the ten who went into that fight
and we felt almost as bad about BlaZes
as we did about our comrades. Caval

never knew what struck him. We bur

there wasn't dry eye in the crowd
when we did it. She did more fighting
that day than the whole ten of us, and
there were over 300 wounds on hel
body when we found her.
We all loved her and mourned her
loss, but she hadn't any use for any
body except Jeb Smith, and maybe it's
a mercy that she was killed in the same
fight with him.

kNO-BuG.
ANOTHER INsECTICIDE FRAUD.

Under the name of "Kno-bug" the
Carpenter-Morton Company of Boston,
are putting on the market reddish
brown powder for which they make the
following claims :-"Kno-bug is a pre-
paration to destroy potato bugs and all
other bugs that eat leaves, plants or
vines. 1t not only destroys the bugs
but unlike Paris green acts as a vege-
table tonic and stimulates the growth of
the plant, prevents blight, scab and rust.
Kno-bug contains quite a number OF
materials but is chiefly made up Of
land plaster Isl per cent?, saltpetre a
per cent?, ochre u per cent?, Paris
green (2.5 per cent.) The remaining
constituents are sand, clay and little
water. The ochre is evidently added
to color the material so the plaster will
not be readily recognized; the saltpetre
presumably to give ground for the
claim that it acts as fertilizer.
The clay and sand are probably i'm
purities of either the ochre or the plaster.
Whatever value the goods have az an
insecticide depends upon the 20 per
cent. of Paris green. No treatment OF
vines, so far as known will prevent scab
and there is nothing in the goods 10
prevent blight. Applied in sufficient
quantity, the Paris green contained in
Kno-bug will kill potato bugs.
These goods sell, according to the ad-
vertisements of the Company, for 10
cents down to cents per pound in &C
cordance with the size os the package.
With l-2 pounds of Paris green and 100
pounds of plaster mixed together the
farmer would have a material for prac-
teal purposes identical with Kno-bug
AT cost of less than cent a pound.
Apparently it is the purpose OF the
manufacturers of Kno-bug to deceive
farmers afraid of Paris green into buy
ing preparation which depends upon
Paris green for its value as an insecti-
eide and at cost from to 10 times the
value of the goods. d. Woods,
Director.

AhQQOM IISE OE a MQRD,


am surprised at the articles that have
appeared in The Tribune on what farm
ers need most, in that they most all re-
gard farmers as ignorant and needing
education, common sense, etc. The
farmers in this vicinity are fairly well
educated men; some have graduated at
high school and all are well informed,
read papers, magazines, books from the
library, and many read daily papers,
although two or three miles from post
office. Go among them and ask them
what they are driving at, what is their
great desideratum or anxiety for the
wear to come, and their answers will be
quite uniformly the same-that they are
going to do little better than last year,
to raise more of the most salable pro-
duce, to raise better crops or get them
in better condition for the market, and
get higher prices, if possible. In short,
they mean to get more money in pay
ment for their labor, because they want
to pay debts, to get the mortgage OH
| their farm, to repair or build new the
house or barn, to school their children
| in high school or college, or to help
some of their children just married to
better start than they had themselves.
If you meet farmer who has done all
this, and his head is gray and he wears
spectacles and uses cane, his answer to
the question will be in the same line.
have just bought the school house lot
since they tore down the old school
house, and am going to clear out the
brush and briars there and make that
half acre shine with different crop
from what it bore thirty years ago, when
it was covered with children. Now,
allowing farmers to be fairly we'll edu,
Gated and to understand their business,
then what they want most is what they
need most. When fairly successful
farmer tells his system of management
for the best paying results they will all
listen, whether they intend to follow
his advice or not, but when a man tells
them they need education, common
sense, judgment, ETC.. he will not get
much of an audience.-(BryOn P. Rug,

BOB WILCOX'S PILIKIA
HOME RULE. DELEGATE IN :
HOLE.
Sudden Developments Have Upset all
Calculations and Entirely Changed
The Political Situation Here.

The sudden split in the Home Rule
Party has upset all campaign calcula-
tions and the political prophets are all
at sea. The revolt against Delegate
Wilcox by the younger element in the
Home Rule party, who have been pre-
pairing for months to carry out the re-
forms that finally caused the row, is
the general topic of discussion among
those interested in political affairs.
A letter received from Senator Black
burn, in which the Democrats are adj
vised to affiliate with the Home Rulers
if they think eXpedient, as ne thinks ul-
umately the Home Rule party Will dis
solve and the members will have to
affiliate either with the Republicans or
the Democrats, is another factor in the
situation that may do much to change
the conditions. Until the Home Rulers
settle their row, or agree to differ, and
decide what to do in the matter of af-
| Citation, it will be hard for the MEM
bers of the Republican and Democratic
parties to thoroughly know the situa-
ton.
Some people are inclined to think that
| Wilcox made fatal error in estrang-
| ing the most progressive and intelligent
members of his party especially when
the latter were ready to concede him
another nomination. Prince Cupid is
/ said to have a strong following and to
| have added to it lately by the showing
| of ability he has made. John Wise
| is another leader who is credited with
! influence by some. Outsiders are wait
! ing with much interest to see If the
| willy delegate can gather them into his
! fold again. In view of the open and re-
peated charge of bad faith, the situa-
| ton is a hard one for the peace makers
! to meet, for the boilers declare that
they cannot take stock in promises any
more since a promise made after long
discussion is ignored only the day at-
ter.
In some circles the row is thought to
be the beginning of the end of the Home
Rule party, and the commencement Of
an era when the voters of Hawaii will
| divide along American lines. The
Home Rule party has always been re-
garded by many as temporary party
and would one day be merged into the
other two. 1t never was much more
as far as general voting strength is
concerned, than the personal influence
Of Wilcox and with that waning "a
such an extent as in now claimed, it is
thought by many that the party viii
die in the coming campaign 1t Is
everywhere the opinion that the situa-
ton is a serious one for Wilcox and
there appears to be no way out but &
humiliating backdOWn by one side OF
the other.
on the other hand there are thos,
who think the effect of the disaffectiOr
is exaggerated by the suddenness %
It's elimination, and that Wilcox vii
have no great difficulty either in keep
ing control or getting the votes. There
are some so cynical as to express the
belief that aside from Prince Cupid
influence the loss of votes to Wilcox Il
exactly represented by the number o
voters who bOlted the convention. SOM
even go so far as to say that some o
these viii vote for the delegate, afte
