REPORT ON ex-COMMISSIONER
Mexico Takes Possession Of Railroad
on Account of Strike.
STlLlWELL BUYS MEXICAN MINE.

Washington. Oct. 9.-The encamp-
ment of the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, which is the business meeting of
that order, began it's session at 10
O'Clock today in the First Congrega-
tional church in this city. The attend
ance comprised about 1000 delegates,
making it one of the largest conven-
tions ever held by the organization. At
the outset a resolution was adopted ex-
pressing grief of the convention over
the death of President Mckinley and
its regret over President Roosevelt's
indisposition.
Among the official documents pre-
sented to the encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
met here today, was the report of the
committee appointed last year to in
vestigate the administration of the
pension office by the then commission
er of pensions. Hon. Clay II. Evans
The investigation was conducted in
Washington, and the committee began
their report by saying that Commits
sioner Evans afforded them every op-
portunity to make it thorough. Speak
ing of the results of the inquiry into
special complaints they say many of
these complaints were without merit,
but many meritorious claims had been
thrown out
From a personal investigation, :"
they say, I'VE are convinced that
scores of claims are rejected every day
that should lie allowed The report
closes as follows:
I'VE respectfully submit that 1t can
not reasonably be exepcted that the
pension laws will be fairly construed
and justly administered in accordance
with the spirit and intendment by
those who treat every applicant for a
pension with distrust, regard his attor-
ney as fraud and brand the examin-
ing surgeons as incompetent and dis
honest"
Commander-in-ChI Torrance then
delivered his annual address. He was
received with cheers and was frequent
ly interrupted by applause Command
er-in-Chief Torrance's address was re-
ferred to the standing committee hav-
ing in charge the reports of officers,
after which the other reports of gen.
eral officers were presented. The con-
vention then agreed by vote to pro-
ceed at o'clock to the election of Off
GERS for the next year and after this
question was disposed of, listened to
the reading of the report of the special
committee on pensions. Reunions
were held this afternoon at Camp

Plant sunno,ver Seed.

A few sunfowers around the hen
yard are not bad thing. If planted OIL
the south side, they will furnish shade
for fowls and chickens when they want
to run under them. The seeds ripen
about the time the hens have begun tc
mott, and few of them, say one head
for twelve to twenty fowls, will dc
more to promote quick feather and
glossy, bright plumage than any other
grain we know of. A few of them in
the winter are excellent for the fowls
also, the exercise of picking the seeds
out helping to keep them vigorous and
the seeds promoting laying. From Their
oily nature they should not be given
too freely, but about in the proportions
named above, small head to dozen
fowls and large one for twenty fowls.
They are very fond of them. and il
they are given too freely it may cause
looseness of the bowels and weaken
the fowl.

She possesses the power Of choosing
which of her offspring shall be drones
and which workers. Some have
thought that this was automatic and
that the narrower worker cell touched
the button, so to speak, that brought
forth a fortified egg. But the queen
will lay worker eggs in drone cells if
she thinks fit, so that settles that.
If the drone is male and the queen
female, what is the worker? The new
woman of Beedom. She has given up
her motherhood for business career.
Sometimes, though, she lays eggs. but
they always hatch out drones, of which
it is strictly true to say they have q
mother, but no father. If the queens
wings are crippled so that she cannot
make her marriage flight, her children
are all drones. An Italian queen in
a hive of black bees will beget work
ers Of mixed blood, but her sons are
pure Italians. Drones are useful as
fathers of workers, but they cannot col
lect the honey they eat. Their tongues
are too short.-Ainslee's

ones. A friend has one which had be-

a narrow gold circlet. The motto, en-

follows: "God above increase our
love-" The "Claddagh" rings Of Ire
land are now very difficult to procure
that is, the genuine specimens, of
course. There are many limitations.
These rings were heirlooms with the
people of the Claddagh, distinct gyp-
sylike race of fishermen, and were
handed down from mother to daugh-
ter as a wedding ring, marriage be-
ing scarcely considered legal If an or
binary ring were substituted. They
were made of massive gold, decorated
with a heart, bearing a crown sup
ported by two clasped hands, signify
ing loyalty, love, friendship.

An Important Matter In the Poultry
Yard-BoveI Complaint.
With our ranges dotted with the
chicks we must not overlook or neg
lect the breeding stock The chicks
are so numerous, so interesting end re-
quire so much attention and care that
we are very apt to fail to give the
aged stock the care it requires.
There is no work in the poultry yard
more important than that of caring for
the breeding stock during the summer
months, and it is work neglected by a
majority of breeders. l think we are
all aware of this fact A great major
ity of the breeding pens will be retired
by July 1. Among these breeders are
some that the fancier would not part
with at any price, for so long as he re-
mains in the business there will be
some specimens that he cannot afford
to dispose Of He had better sell his
entire business than to let these birds
go. These females should not be fed
for egg production from the time of re-
tirement from the breeding pens. Right
now is the time to begin putting them
in shape for breeders for the coming
year. 1t is the most important work
and will prove the best paying sum-
mer's work in the poultry yard. Re
member that your breeding stock is the
foundation of your business. Guard
the choice, the tried and true breeders
well. Give them all the range posi-
BILE Make it an outing for them until
fall, in which they can have their own
way and idle away the long, hot days
of summer in the shade of the trees
and shrubbery. Feed lightly. They
will enjoy it, and you will be thor
oughly convinced when they go to
work in the breeding pens next spring
that fowls are not without gratitude
The males should be removed from all
females and so kept until placed in the
breeding pens next season.
During the past few weeks we have
received numerous inquiries from breed
ers whose chicks are suffering from
bowel complaint This is common
ailment among chicks. Where it is
caused by improper feeding it can be
cured by the feeding of oil cake meal
and a cooked mash. Care must be tax
en- in feeding this meal. 1t is laxa-
tive My method is to mix it with the
ground grain mash, about one-twenti
eth of the oil cake meal. This mash is
baked in an oven and fed daily to the
chicks until they are about two months
old. Since using this food l have not
had one single case of bowel trouble
among the hundreds of chicks raised
annually Chicks in confined runs or
on very small range are apt to be trou-
bled with bowel complaint. Then, too,
this ailment is very often caused by
coping the chicks in damp quarters

The eleven eggs laid May 26 were all

the same time the eight eggs laid May

showed clear, three were slightly

eggs two strong chicks were Matched

A BARGAIN IN HATS.
The Reason One Woman Rejoicen
While Another One MOurns.

While Another One Mourns.
A Philadelphia woman moving In
good society has been cured of ma
mia for attending rummage sales, but
it took heroic treatment to effect the
cure. The other day she went to a
sale of the description named in aid of
a worthy charity in which she is inter-
ested and came away minus a twenty
five dollar hat. 1t happened this way:
A feature of the sale was a counter
filled with untrimmed hats, advertised
''Your choice for so cents" Now, the
North Thirty-t third street woman didn't
want an untrimmed hat at so cents,
but there was one that caught her
fancy by reason of it's odd shape, and
she simply couldn't resist the tempta-
ton to try it on. So she took off the
handsome hat she was wearing, placed
it on the counter and picked up the I'M
trimmed one Then she looked around
for a mirror. There was only one, and
that was away at the other end of the
long room.
She pushed her way through the
crowd, and in the meantime a fat col
ored woman's eyes were glued to the
hat she had left behind on the pile
marked, "Your choice for so cents"
1t was golden opportunity not to be
missed. Counting out so cents in dimes,
nickels and pennies, she showed them
at the innocent young attendant and
made good her escape with the fash
ionable woman's hat.-Exchange
