with minor amendments, 1t reading as fol-
lows when reported:
THE term of office of the President and
the representatives in the Fiftieth Congress
shall continue until the last Tuesday in
April in the year 1889 at noon. The sena-
tors whose existing terms would other
wise expire on the third day Of March in
the year 1889, or thereafter, shall continue
In office until noon on the last Tuesday in
April succeeding such expiration; and the
last Tuesday in April at noon shall there
after be substituted for the fourth day Of
March as the commencement of the official
term Of the President, Vice President SEN
ators and representatives in Congress The
last Tuesday In April shall be substituted
for the fourth day of March where that
day Is named in the twelfth article of the
amendments to the Constitution"
There was pending before the committee
an amendment to this resolution proposed
by Representative Crain-presumably SIM
liar to that which he introduced in distinct
form in the House the following session.
but the committee declined to adopt it,
merely because it was thought it might de-
lay action on the change-of-date measure
and so defeat it, the time being then very
short before adjournment.
Congress did, in fact, adjourn without
taking action on the joint resolution. The
blame for this negative result was ascrib-
ed to Chairman Tucker Of the committee,
who declined to allow any other member
to report the resolution, although he was
absent from the House.
Senator Hoar's Resolution Of 1887.
In the following December, 1887, Senator
Hoar introduced a joint resolution in the
Senate. which was adopted by that body
January q, 1885, in the following general
terms:
to change the term Of the Presi-
dent and of the present Congress so that
they shall continue until the Both of April
1889. and that senators whose terms would
otherwise expire on March 4. 1889. shall
continue until April 80 succeeding, and
thereafter the 30th Of April shall be substl-
tuted for the 4th Of March, as the COM
meneement and termination Of the Official
term Of the President, Vice President, SEN
ators and representatives.
that Congress should assemble an
nually en- the 10Th Of October. instead of
the first Monday in December.

SHOT BY UNKNOWN MEN.
Mine Worker at GirardviIIe, Pa,
Slightly Wounded.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. 6.-There
were many rumors flying around OF
reports of trouble in the camp and va
rious parts Of the region. The only
disturbance that occurred, however,
was at G~irardville, six miles from here,
where a workman coming from the
Girard washery, operated by ". R.
McTurk & Co., was shot in the leg and
slightly injured. The injured man is
James Caparall, an Italian. He had
been engaged at, work which had been
forbidden by the union and had been
warned several times to quit. On his
way home he was met on the road by
half a dozen unknown men who began,
to beat him. Caparall was shot, half
a dozen buckshot entering his leg. He
managed to walk to a physicians of
flee and after having the shot extract
ed from his leg he walked to the Lee
high Valley railroad station and.
boarded a train for Hazelton. Burgess
Jones is investigating the assault.
During the night several shots were
heard in Shenandoah between brigade
headquarters and camp. This gave
rise to a rumor that the camp was
again being attacked, but an official
AhSOokASoIASA PlotCu " W ~
untrue. The provost marshal is max
ing a searching investigation as to
who did the shooting. The country
generally remains quiet.
Reports was made to headquarters
during the day that three members Of
Company I of the Twelfth regiment
were chased by a crowd Of men on the
outskirts of the town and That the sol
diers had sought refuge in the house
of Squire McGuiness at Frackville.
The soldiers left the camp without
leave after dress parade. They did
not carry firearms. On the road to
Frackyille the soldiers were seen by
men in that neighborhood and soon
eighteen or twenty men, carrying pis-
tolls and clubs, gathered with the In
tention of a%ssaulting them. The sol
dfers fled and the crowd attempted to
run them into a mine hole on the out
skirts of Frackyille. The militiamen
met the squire and he took them to
his home andskept them there until
morning when they returned to camp.
General Goblin said the three soldiers,
who belong in Wilnamsport. will be
contaminated.

Handling q Kicker.

A writer in the National Stockmap
gives this method of handling a kick
ing horse: Put on him strong surcin-
gle and crupper. Have one ring where
the check hook comes and one eight
inches lower .on the right side. Now
run strap from the lower ring to the
crupper about where the hip strap
passes through. Now take five
elghths inch rope fifteen feet long,
fasten it to the ring at the check and
then hook through the ring in the hal
ter and back through the lower ring in
the surcingle. Strap up his left fore
foot. This should be done in a straw
yard. Now you have him ready. Take
your rope and go ahead of him a few
feet, little to the right, and begin to
pull. Hold him steady and let him
fight this hard, but keep drawing his
head to his side, and he will go down
to the ground. Now you have him
where you want him. Keep him there
until he gives UP, if it takes all day.
Show him you can handle him.

Clean Stahles.

The Importance if giving the cow
stable thorough renovating cannot
be over estimated. This should be
done at least twice year-spring and
fall. The floor, walls and ceiling
should be cleaned in such a manner
AS to leave no dust or dirt or persist
ent bad odor clinging about the apart
ment. It is we'll known that flavor
plays mostimportantpa part in the quail
1ty Of all dairy products, and for this
reason great care should be taken
in keeping the stables clean and pure,
especially during winter, when making
butter.
There are altogether too many COW
barns that smell more like manure
barns than anything else. After a COW
stable has once been put in order it
only takes a small amount of labor
and time to keep it so, and the result
is You have clean, healthy cows, pure
milk and more of it than if the apart
ments were allowed to remain in the
filthy condition in which so many of
them are kept. There are many COW
stables that were built years ago,
which are narrow and low and poorly
fitted up for keeping dairy cows in.
These, Of course, are not so easily kept
clean and sweet as the stables built
on modern plans.-V. NJ. Couch. in
Ohio Farmer.
