Damage by the Heavy Rains.

The heavy rains on Thursday
and Friday of last week did large
amount of damage throughout the
county, roads being badly washed
and bridges weakened and carried
away by the high water. Leaky
roofs and flooded cellars caused the
housewife a world of discomfort
and Trouble during the heavy
downpour.
Little rivulets were transformed
into raging torrents, which over.
flowed their banks and caused
heavy loss to numerous farmers by
sweeping away fences and badly
washing their fields.
At Liberty Grove the high water
in Basin Run weakened the cover
ed railroad bridge and delayed traf
fic until repairs were completed.
The canning house of Chas. B.
Silver, at the same place, was
damaged to the extent of $500, a
section of the peeling shed being
carried away, scales washed out,
boiler damaged and several hun
dred crates of tomatoes carried
down stream. The county bridge
ard Peoples dam at New Valley,
and Christie's dam at Rowlandville
were swept away.
Travel over the Columbia and
Port Deposit railroad was suspend
ed owing to the tracks being SUBJ
merged at Rock Run.
The Diamond State Telephone
Company's line was damaged by
tie flood above Port Deposit, IL
poles being swept into the river,
thus deranging the service in the
upper section of the county.
A number of roads in the county
were rendered impossible by being
badly washed and small bridges
carried away.
A disastrous washout occurred
at Principle Furnace, on the p,
W. Il B. railroad, a section of en-
bankment over 200 feet in length
and 30 feet in depth being carried
away. The large culvert under the
roadbed at Furnace creek was I'M
able to carry the volume of water
which weakened the embankment
and finally burst through, leaving
the tracks suspended in midair.
A large force of workmen has been
engaged with pile drivers, hosting
engines, etc., in the erection of a
trestle work to carry the tracks
across the break, but the great
difficulty in securing solid foun-
dation, owing to quicksands, has
rendered the work necessarily very
slow. Trains between Philada. and
Perryville have been run over the
B. & o. road. The Baltimore Cen
trail tracks have been used extern
sively at night by the P, W. &
B. freight trains, since the bridge
at Liberty Grove was strengthened.
To facilitate the transfer of the
P, w. & B. trains to the B. & o.
tracks the work of connecting the
two roads near Aberdeen, where
they are but 800 yards apart, was
begun on Monday.

James E. Ellegood, democratic candi-
date for congressional honors in the First
district, has issued letter challenging
his republican opponent, Congressman w.
H. Jackson, to sign with him an agree
ment to use their best endeavors to see
that the anti-bribery law is enforced and
to prevent the illegitimate use of money
during the campaign for the influencing
of voters. Mr.. Ellegood is strong expo
nent of anti bribery and is presenting this
issue as his drawing card to the consci-
entious voters of the District. To such an
extent has the corrupt use of money in
politics grown that Mr. Ellegood's CAM
paign slogan was rather sneered at by the
old liners, when first sounded, but he is
sticking to his guns and has adopted a
course whereby his republican opponent
will be forced 10 an open declaration for
or against bribery methods, or by his ig.
noring the challenge give tacit acknowl.
edgment of favoring the corrupt condi-
tions which prevail in politics.

A Cheerful Prediction.

In view of the imply coal bins
and the scarcity and high price of
that fuel, the prediction of Prof. G.
b. Myers, of the Government
Weather department. may bring a
little comfort to those who have a
scant supply of anthracite with
which to meet the icy blasts of Old
Boreas. Prof. Myers says the
summer season will be prolonged
until late in the fall and predicts a
mild winter. His theory is that
such a volume of water fell during
May, June and July that it could
not be evaporated from the earth
during the summer, and that the
water in the earth will tend to
hold the summer heat far into the
winter. With the addition of the
deluge of last week Old Sol will
likely be required to work a few
days more overtime.

Body Identified.

The youth who was killed last
week near Perryville by a P, w. &
B. freight train has been identified
by Geo. w. Miller, of Wilmington,
as his son Joseph Miller, aged II
years. The boy disappeared from
his home two months ago. Since
that time his parents had heard
nothing of him. He was formerly
in the Ferris Industrial School, but
left that institution. His father
tried to locate him, but did not
succeed. Hearing that the body
of a boy had been found, and fear
ing that it was his son, he went to
Perryville to examine the remains.
The body had been buried, but he
had it exhumed, identified it and
took the remains to Wilmington
for ipterment.

New Labor Party.

A movement for enlisting the hosts of
workingmen throughout the United
States into semi political organization
has been launched id Chicago. The plat
form demands the abolition Of the polit-
ical machine, the establishment of gov
eminent primaries where votes may be
cast for nominees as citizens and not as
members of the machine, and the initia-
of recalling representatives who are out
of touch with voters. Relief FROM the
trusts is demanded, the plan being the
passage of an amendment to the practice
laws of every state and the federal gov
eminent, under which litigants may
bring up in any suit in which a corpora
ton is the plaintiff or defendant, the
question of its rights to its franchise,
whether it has usurped power not given
it under statute and whether it has for
feited its powers. Vigilance committees
in every state and large city are favored,
to see that the laws are impartially adj
ministered. The eight-hour day, sanitary
conditions, living wages, the repeal of the
laws limiting the liability in personal
injury suits, the supplying of free text
books to all children in the lower grades
Of public schools and the abolitioK of con-
Vict labor in competition with freemeH
are demanded. Limitation on the in
junction powers of judges is asked. and
the popular election of federal judges and
senators is favored. In all civil trials
majority verdicts are desired. The gov
eminent issue of all kinds of money in
stead of banks. and the driving Of private
individuals from the banking business i
demanded. Laws are demanded restrict.
ing the issue of capital stocks. bonds and
securities to any greater extent thaa the
actual property owned by corporations.
Public ownership of public utilities is
advocated. In closing the declaration is
made that in order to bring about state
of harmony instead of constant diseoTd
the workingman must look for relief al
the ballot bog. Here, where the will Of
the people is supreme, the remedy lies al
hand and must be taken advantage Of
Workingmeu must undertake to govern,
as well as toll, and in that way they will
get justice.

came to the attention o. the authori-
ties this week, when Sheriff Hand re-
ceived the following letter from Cho-

"Choteau, March 20, 1902.-Sheriff
of Flathead County: Sir-I am writ
ing to you to see if you could get any
trace of my brother. My brother
left Choteau, Teton county, in the
fall of 1899, We heard he was in Kali
ispell the winter OF 1900 and worked
IN the woods, but who he worked for
did not learn. We have never heard
from him since he left Choteau. We
were told that there was a special in
a Great Falls daily from Kalispelk
saying that there was young man
died there, but his name was not
given, and that ne was from Choteau,
Teton county and had worked there
for two years in the woods and mills.
1t also said that this man was work
ing in mill some some twelve or
fifteen miles from Kalispell and had
worked up to two days before he
died. The time of this death was
some time in December, 1901. We
did not see this in the paper, as we
don't take it, and we were afraid
that it was our brother. l trust that
it was not. If you can find any It'd

their stock was threatened to be
taken away from them and they
would invariably make the necessary
apology and ask for reinstatement.
The strongest concerns in the coun-
try have tried to drive them out of
business by ouUbidding them on
grain. Their local competitors, backed
by thousands of dollars, falled in this
attempt, the management of the CO
operative simply directing his pa
irons over to them when they were
giving more than the market would
warrant. The Kansas City Grain
company, owning system of eleva-
tors along the Great Western, tried
to drive them out of business by
overriding them, and the result is
known all over the country. The Kan
sas people went into bankruptcy,
while the cooperative remained com
plete masters of the situation.
Something of the prosperity of the
organization may be told. The first
year it started out with a member
ship of 100 and a capital of $1,000.
That year business to the amount of
$4,000 dollars was done. In 1895
it had increased to S$215 900; in 1898.
to. $365,000; in 1899, to $545,000; and
in 1900, it amounted to the enormous
amount of $645,O00.
To transact such large volume of
business would seem to require a
1a1 h11A
done at an expense Of less than one
per cent. Here is comparison that
one economist of national repute has
made: Rockwell and Ackley were
the two towns compared. They are
both on the Iowa Central and only
40 miles apart The prices were Sc
cured from both concerns on the 9th
day of July, and here are the find
ings:
Corn in Ackley, SO cents; in Rock
well, SO cents.
Oats in Ackley, "a cents; in Rock
we'll, 20 cents.
Hogs in Ackley, $3.50; in Rock.
well, $685..
What they buy:
Irvine in Ackley, 8%. cents; in
Rockwell, 7% cents.
Salt in Ackley, $1.50; in Rockwell
$12O.
Shingles, best, in Ackley, $3.50; in
Rockwell, $3.50.
Windows, 24x3O, in Ackley, $275;
in Rockwell, 1925.
This economist has figured out or
this basis just the amount that was
saved by the Rockwell COOPERATIVE
society during that year on the basis
of the volume of business done, ant
he announced that it amounted tt
$4,000. This divided among tn,
j present membership of the associa
ton, now numbering an even 900
gave to each individual $1,403 more
than he would have had under the OLE
way of doing business.

To Reclaim wornout Lands.

If you think that lands lack humus,
apply stable manure or turn under a
green crop. The best general green
crop is red clover, but it does not catch
well on very sandy and very hard soils.
Then begin with any crop which will
grow-rye, buckwheat, corn, beans,
anything to get a start. II the land
produces weeds when left to itself, it is
good enough to produce something else.
Turn the weeds under, sow something,
turn it under, SOW again. In two or
three years the results will be seen, re-

this is all that can be seen.
The upper figure of the first cut is the
reproduction of photomicrograph of

shown in the lower figure. In addition
to the clean green balls a number of
crystals are seen which are almost
wholly those of free arsenious oxide
put in to make up the strength of low
grade article. When the arsenic is
added in the process of manufacture or
results from careless manipulation. it
is more difficult to detect it. In that
case it is usually found sticking to the
green balls themselves. giving them an
irregular outline and causing them on
the whole to aggregate into masses.
