ELkS' BAzAR
MEETS SUCCESS
Large Crowd Witnessed the Street
Parade.
BIG HALL WAS CROWDED

The first night of the Elks'
bazaar was great success, In fact
it surpassed all expectations of
those in charge of the big fair
The grand parade started on
East Main street at 1880 sharp.
The carriages were handsomely
decorated with Elks' colors, purple
and white, and some OF them were
very pretty. The procession was
headed by Mayor John Q Mac
Donald on horse back, and about
a dozen carriages were in the
parade. A large crowd of citizens
had gathered in the streets to
witness the parade, which was
highly enjoyed.
The hall was opened at s O'Clock
and was soon filled to overhowing.
Mayor Macdonald made the ad-
dress, and explained in a very
pleasant manner the organization
of the Elks' lodge, its growth and
success; the organization of the
Florence Salt Lake club, its aim
and objects, stating that the bazaar
wss given to raise funds with
which the club might carry out its
intention to attend the big conven-
tion in Salt Lake in August of the
present year.
On entering the hall just to the
right will be found the fortune
teller's booth and next to this is the
ladies booth, which contains all
kinds of fancy work, and is very
ably presided over by Mrs. F. p
Purdy This booth is very at
tractive, being nicely decorated,
beautifully arranged and a sure
money maker. Then comes the
slot machines, followed by the
wheel of fortune which is being
run by p. 7 Mcclure, N. p. Hill
and AL Harris. This seemed to be
the most attractive of all for the
boys and men.
The freak booth WAS next in
order and was under the super
vision of Mr.. Phil Hamlin, ably
assisted by Mesdames Carroll,
McMichael, Criddle, Sheridan
and Hamlin. The reporter
did not venture into the
freak booth, but those who did say
it is well worth seeing, and in fact
some say it is the best part of the
show.
Next is found the lemonade and
peanut stand in charge of George
Hyde, who let every body in the
hall know that he was there for
business as well as pleasure.
There will be some new features
at the bazar tonight and also some
new attractions, entirely different
from those of last evening. A
snug little sum was realized last
night
1t is probably not understood
thoroughly that the proceeds of
this affair will be used entirely
for advertising Florence, the OH
City of the West, and her in-
dustries; for renting headquarters
at Salt Lake, distribution of adver-
tsing matter of the town and for
appropriate badges.
Not penny will be used for
transportation or for the personal
expense of any mem Der of the
club Each member for months
have contributed 81 % per week to
what is known as the Salt Lake
club and this money will be used
in defraying the expense of the
trip, board bills, etc.

MASS MEETING
TO Be CALLED
Unions of Fremont County Il
Discuss Labor Question.
MORE NEGROES EXPECTED

a hi"oo hVVtihS Vi VIC u'h'io
of Fremont county will likely be
called at Coal Creek tomorrow
afternoon to devise plans as to the
best method to adopt in ridding
the county of the imported negroes,
Japanese and Chinese coal miners
to work in the Chandler coal mine
The Coal Creek and Rockvale
miners are working today, but the
unions of those places have sp-
pointed committee to look after
the call for the meeting and it is
expected it will be held tomorrow,
AS soon as the time is decided up
on notices will at once be placed
at the entrance of all the mines
A communication from Rockvale
today says that petition will be
circulation among the citizens of
the county asking for signatures of
endorsement to have the county
cleared of cheap labor.
The foreign element is working
at Chandler and so far there has
been no interruptions and none
are expected for a few days at
least.
The miners fear that their
unions will be disrupted if a cheap
foreign class of abor is allowed to
work in this county and drastic
measures will be taken by the
unions to prevent any further
influx of them.
The Victor Fuel company is evil
IDENTIFY determined to work its
Chandler mine as it sees fit This
is the second attempt of this kind
within three months, and the first
time the eimported men were treated
as they should be. What the out
come of this present trouble will
be can not be guessed. 1t is un-
derstood that more negroes will
pass through from the Hastings
district to Chandler tonight.
An official of Chandler is quoted
as saying that the mine will be
worked with this class of men even
if it became necessary to call upon
MALTA for protection. If this is
unavailable the rails and mining
machinery will be taken from the
mine.
The Victor Fuel company since
taking possession of the Chandler
mine has spent about 100000 in
improvements both in the mine
and the town
Last fall several veneered houses
were built for the accommodation
of the employees. By the recent
addition of more mining machinery
the place has been put in first-class
shape for taking out big output
of coal.
The water supply has been in
creased and extended and it was
intended to set out trees and plant
the yards of their houses to grass
which would add 10 the present
appearance of this clean little
camp and also making it model
one Chandler was recently in
corporated and very shortly it will
have municipal government
Other changes are contemplated.

PROFIT IN FEEDING.
Some Facts and Figures Of Particular
Interest to the Dairymen of
the Northwest.

Dalrymen do not fully realize the
heavy losses they suffer from failure
to feed cows properly. 1t is estimated
that the average annual yield of butter
per COW is 125 pounds. Every COW must
first be furnished with enough food
for body maintenance, then whatever
she gets over and above that amount
goes to make milk or meat. If COW is
bred along dairy lines-that is, if her
sire is a full-blooded dairy animal
she will not have strong tendency to
convert feed into meat, and will there
fore convert it into milk. So if she is
well fed from the time she drops her
calf, is regularly MIXED and made
comfortable, quiet and contented. the
more feed she gets the more milk she
will give.
Unoer careful feeding and good
management the yield of butter can
easily be raised to 300 pounds a year.
We have about II 100000 dairy cows in
this country which are yielding about
1875, 100000 pounds of butter, which
at Is cents pound amounts to $780,
100000. If the 100000 cows were
properly fed they would produce $780,
100000 pounds of butter, which at Is
cents pound would amount to $685.
100000. Allowing for the extra cost
that good feeding would necessitate,
there is an annual loss of over $3.50, 00O,-
600 because of poor feeding.
1t may be thought by some that such
an enormous yield of butter would
bring ruin to the dairy industry. 1t
would to certain countries and locali-
ties, where feed is expensive, but the
farmers of the northwest need have no
fear on this score, for they could and
would in a short time be called upon
to furnish European countries with
their butter, as we could furnish it
and make more money than we do at
present at prices that other countries
could not possibly meet. In round
numbers it costs about twice as much
to produce butter in Denmark as it
does in the northwest. 1t will take
many years to bring the average yield
up to even 200 pounds per COW, and
those who begin now to feed right will
have the benefit of the good prices
Present prices will be found entirely
satisfactory if cows are literally and
properly fed. During the year 1895 I'M
der good management cows returned
a net profit of ten dollars per head;
during the year 1896 they made net
profit of $50 per head, after deduct
ing the cost of feed; during the year
1897 the net profit per cow amounted
to $3s per head, making the average
for the last three years $3.50 per head,
without giving any credit for skim
milk and young stock.-G. H. Sammis,
in Ohio Farmer.

loop around the chest; carry the rope
back, pass it over the loins and bring
it underneath the belly, close to the
tanks; make another loop as before
and carry the rope straight behind the
animal and tighten up the loops, one
close to the elbows, the other close to
the hind tanks. All being ready, in
struct the man who holds the halter
shank to pull forward, and al the same
time the men who have hold of the
loose end of the rope to pull straight
backward, and down the animal goes,
generally without struggle. Keep
the head down and the rope firm, and
as rule the animal lies quietly until
such time it is desired he should get
up, when slacken the rope and up he
gets, none the worse for the casting.
The heaviest bull may be cast in this
way, but of course no one would think
of casting an in-calf cow or heifer
either this or any other way.-Aber-
deen-Angus Association.

HORTICULTURAL HINTS.

Where cold storage cannot be had
one of the best ways to keep apples
from rotting is to Place them in open
barrels in a cool cellar that is of free
access to troop of growing boys-or
girls.
If potatoes have to be handled it
should be done with care, for pota toes
will bruise, Notwithstanding the treat
ment some farmers give them, would
lead one to suppose such thing was
impossible.
The soil settles around the roots of
fall-set trees during the winter and
will be full of moisture in the spring.
and the trees will be ready to start
into full and rapid growth as soon
as warm weather comes.
One reason why. trees heeled in or
packed in temporary quarters during
the winter should have their roots well
packed in moist soil is the top of a tree
gives off moisture in the winter
through the barr, and this mus he
supplied through .aa roots.--Farmsrs'

POOR MANS FENCE.

hold your top rail, and , lastly, but most
important, bale of No. IL black wire,
as pliable as you can get.
Material.-1. The stakes should be
6h feet long, made of locust, oak,
walnut or any timber that will last.
These stakes do not have to be per-
fectly straight, as this is the great
advantage of this fence, to use mate
rial that cannot be used anywhere
else except in a woodpile. 2. The braces,
which are wired to the center of the
top rail Gig. p, and extend to the
ground between the, stakes, should be
6h feet long. Make them from any
thing from two to three inches in diam
eter. They need not be put in the
ground, as your rails will hold them
in place. 3. Rails can be used from
the old fence, straight or crooked.
When you take a rail to wire it to the
braces, if it leaves hole let it be. You
can put piece in the hole. You will
lose too much time to select every rail.
Building.-Set up two stakes and
wire together where they cross, then
dig holes for them to go into about four
feet apart. This is your beginning.
Temporarily brace these stakes with
brace or rail, which should be as
straight and as sound one as you can
pick up. Now use your rack for hold
ing the end on the ground while you
dig the holes and wire the other stakes.
Put the rack about two feet from the
end Of the top rail and then set up your
stakes against the top rail. Dig holes
for them opposite the racks feet, put
the stakes in, wire together where they
cross under the top rail, then put on
another rail, tapping about IS inches,
and so on until you have put this way
about ten or twelve panels. Then go
back and put on your brace, as shown
in Fig. 2, to keep the fence from push
ing backward and forward lengthwise.
When you have put on all of your
braces. begin at the bottom to put on
the other rails, tie with wire to the
bottom of the braces, lap the rails
eight to twelve inches, laying bottom
rail until you are at the end of your
stakes; then come back. take the next
rail, wire to the braces. and so on until
your panel is complete. A hundred
pounds of wire will build from 20 to
IS panels, according to the size of rail.

ECONOMICAL FENCING.
How an Ordinary Rail Fence Can BE
Made to Last for Years With.
oct Repairs.

A great many farms in Kentucky and
in other states have rail fences, which
will not turn stock and which give the
owners great deal of trouble in keep
ing the rails on the fence and the stakes
in the ground. In our section we have
solved this question by the use of
little Wire and some ingenuity. We
have made out of our old rail fence a
new fence, which will turn any kind of
stock and which costs very little cash
outlay, compared with other fences. I
believe it is the only fence I know of

THE VANISHING ELEPHANT.

tween his thumb and his finger tho
magician holds a little figure of an
elephant, which glistens like silver.
Taking his position near the stand, he
thus speaks to the audience:
During my visit to East India, Ia
dies and gentlemen, I witnessed a
strange disappearance. I am going to
reproduce that disappearance this
evening, and I trust that it may inter-
est you as much as it did me. The
little wooden stand here serves to iso-
late the elephant which I now intro
duce, cutting it off from all commu'
nication with the stage and the sur.
roundings. I mount the elephant on
the little column, and thus make min.
iature statue of it. The little animal
is pretty heavy, as you may know from
the sound it makes as drop it on the
table. There! We will now place a
glass shade over the statue. Now, as
you know from the sound the statue
made when dropped it on the stand,
it is not light enough to rise and
float off through the air, and yet am
going to make it disappear. ...
pardon me il I now cover the
shade with this colored handkerchief;
it does not reach all the way to the
bottom, but that does not matter. As
I have said, I am going to cause the
little silver elephant to disappear by
making it pass through the shade, and
away into space. Where would you
like to have it reappear? Shall it be
in the pocket of some one in the au-
dience? Very well. l take my wand
and command the elephant to leave.
One, two, three! He has gone! Let
us remove the handkerchief and see
for ourselves!"
The cover is taken off, showing the
stand without the elephant, which is
found in the coat pocket of gentle
man in the audience.
Well, how is it done? It is the sim
plest thing in the world-when you
learn the secret. The statue is frozen
mercury. The conjurer of the present
day knows a great deal about science,
and he can freeze mercury as hard as
stone by evaporating solid carbonic
acid dissolved in ether. He puts the
fluid mercury into a mold shaped like
an elephant, and thus makes the stat
ue by freezing. The disappearance
of the elephant is simply it's melting
into fluid mercury again, which runs
down the hollow upright from stand.
The little elephant taken from gen.
tleman in the audience is a real fig
ure, made of metal and then silvered.

A BLAcKsM1TH's STORY.

Goodland, Kan, Dec. 23.-N. e.
Albertson, local blacksmith, had al
most decided to give up his shop alto
gether on account of Rheumatism
which had crippled him SO that at
times he could not use his hammer.
His shoulders and arms were SO
sore that he couldn't sleep at night.
He had suffered for years, but was
getting gradually worse till Ut last
he had about made up his mind to
give up. But just then he heard Of
some wonderful cures of Rheumatism
by Dodd's Kidney Pills and thought
he would try for q cure once more.
They cured him completely and he
has not trace of Rheumat ism left.
The shop will not be given up and
Mr.. Albertson may be seen there any
day hard at work as If nothing ever
allied him.

Winter Care of Raspberries,

Very little care need be given
raspberry canes in southern Illinois,
so far as protecting from cold is cor
cerned. The canes are seldom killed
back beyond the tips when cutting
back removes all injury. About the
only attention necessary at this time
of year is to remove all dead canes,
those broken by accident and all that
have borne the year before. This
work is generally done after the
leaves have fallen, as the absence of
leaves affords more freedom of sight
and acton. Since the advent of stock
peas many growers make practice
of sowing them between the rows in
late summer as a cover crop, both
as protection and an enricher OF the
soil, these being plowed under in the
following March and Aprii.-T. E..

Cows Must BE Kept Warm.

Cold weather is at hand and the
dairy stock must have attention.
Professional dairymen understand
this, but some farmers, not special
lists in dairying, yet who keep a few
cows, will read the suggestion and
should heed it. The warm side of
haystack is not sufficiently warm
place for a dairy COW in the winter
time. If cows are allowed to have
the range of the barnyard there
should be a warm shed adjoining
where they may go, but it is better
to keep them in the stalls, except for
little while at morning and night,
when they should be allowed to go
out for exercise and to drink

THE GARDEN.PARTY.

The Lady Arabella gave,
One lovely summer day,
A garden-party on the lawn
In quite festive way.
The guests were far from numerous,
But then the company
Was quite the best and most select
There possibly could be.
The Lady Arabella's frock
Was lovely to behold,
And round about her neck she wore
A chain of dazzling gold.
The guests assembled on the lawn.
All sQuatted in a row,
And those who were not made to sit
Were forced to stand, YOU know!
"They do look charming" Molly cried
And, gazing fondly round
At Lady Arabella and
Her guests upon the ground,
She then began to lay the cloth
And give the party tea,
Which all of them, so Molly said,
Enjoyed amazingly.
But Molly then was called indoors,
And stayed so long away
That she forgot the party on
The lawn that summer day;
And by and by the rain came down.
And sad it was to see
The garden party on the lawn
Still sitting at its tea!
The Lady Arabella and
Her guests were laid that night
Upon the kitchen fender in
A truly awful plight.
In tears poor Molly stood aghast,
And vowed, with anguish sore,
That Arabella ne'er should give
A garden-party more!
