Having been asked few times who
on my mail route had the best farm
and crops l will make this statement.
The best farm is hard to designate
correctly as there are many fine ones
as you mry know when 1 tell you
there are over fifty good frame barns
and 1O3 mail boxes. Mr.. Jacob Lee
has an eighty acre tract that would
suit me as well as any of like size.
The best building house barns and
out buildings, are those Of Ely B.
Miner. The best barn alone is that
of Nicholas Dietl, though there are a
number of other fine ones. The best
house alone, is doubtless that of Wei
come Miller. The best kept farm all
around is that of Nicholas Dietl.
These honors would be easily won by
Robert Brundige but for the lack of
paint on buildings all else being IN
his favor. The best field of wheat is
on III. Humrichouser farm, put on by
MeSSrS. Jacob and Nathan Lee. The
best patch Of corn is that of Jacob
Keyser and the best field of corn that
of Schuyler Keyser: of oats Mark
Jacoby, rye Nathan Lee, potatoes
Adam HenSel. clover E. A. thinner,
timothy Peter Strowderman. On clo-
yer and timothy mixed honors are
divided between Robert Brundige and
B. j. Cramer; and Elias Sherer has
the best field of barley. The best gen.
eral purpose team of horses are owned
by Solomon Stockman, best herd of
cattle by j. A. Myers, Hogs Berkshire
Nathan Lee, Jersey Reds Fralich
Brothers. The best herd of high
bred grade cattle is that of Fralich
Brothers. sheep Travis Brothers, tur-
keys Mrs. Emma E, Kizer, geese Mrs.
Ida B. Shell. chickens Mrs. S. Casper.
The largest Apiary that of VIM. Zim-
mer, the best kept that of James Ber-
key. There are many well kept full
gardens but that of Mrs. H. Fogel is
surely the equal of any other. The
largest and best, most productive gen.
eral fruits are those o. Fralick Broth
ers, the best strawberries-knowledge
gained by actual trial-are in Mrs.
Samuel Casper's garden, and Miss
Louise Cox bakeS most excellent
doughnuts as 1 know by experience.
The best piece of timber is on the
Conrad Zimmerman S farm.
AS the town is becoming full of dis.
temper in horses it might be we'll fol
horSemen to know that an almost sure
preventive is to feed little pine tar
three times a week.
The above items are CLEANED simply
from observation and may not be
absolutely correct, even as 1 would
see things on closer inspection.

Killed Thirty-one Persons.

Jane Toppan, a nurse, who was
sent to Taunton Insane asylum by a
jury at Barnstable, Mass, where she
was tried for the murder of Mrs. Mary
D. Gibbs, has made confession uo
her senior counsel, Judge Frederick
M. Bixby, that she killed thirty-one
persons. They were patients whom
she nurSed.
Miss Toppan was suspected of caus-
ing the death of eleven persons and
was indicted for numbering three.
She was Monday declared insane.
Judge Bixby also said Miss Toppan
had admitted she had set fires and
committed other serious acts. She
said she could not help committing
the crimes. She said she was not in
sane. Morphine was Miss Toppan s
agency for producing death. Many
of her victims were unsuspecting and
her most intimate friends; others were
the patients of reputable physicians
who employed here on account Of her
ability as nurse.

The Cuban Tariff Question.

! Walter Wellman, the Washington
correspondent writes as follows:
In the western horizon the republic
can leaders here see a cloud good
deal larger than mans hahd. 1t is
the cloud of unrest on the tariff ques-
tion. From President down, the big
men Of the party are watching that
cloud and wondering what it is to
bring forth. Ex-President Cleveland's
advice to his party to drop minor and
doubtful issues and concentrate upon
the excessive tariff and the tariff bred
trusts has added something to the
size of the cloud. Defeat of the ad-
miniStration on Cuban reciprocity has
put darker tinge upon the western
horizon.
Those who wish to really under
stand the remarkable situation now
existing here in Washington should
bear in mind that the impending div
ision of the republican party into high
tariff and low tariff wings is the fun
damental difficulty. Western men
have talked general tariff revision,
have favored concessions to the grow
ing sentiment in the West, at least to
the extent of remodeling some of the
worst of the schedules. Eastern men
have replied;
'Oh, no; we must not touch the
tariff. Let well enough alone. We
will not revise the schedules But
this much we are willing to dove
are willing to reduce the tariff on
sugar coming in from Cuba"
"What," has been the retort of the
western republicans; You will not
have any. revision on iron and steel
and such things that the East is in
terested in, but you will make cut
on sugar, about the only article that
gives the West anY benefit out of the
protective system? You will not in
terfere with the protection of eastern
manufactures, but you will pay our
debt to Cuba by taking it out of the
western farmers? Never"
This is the ''inside" Of the Cuban
row. This is the human nature, the
sectionalisin, the essence of it. A re-
markable feature of the case is that in
the West public opinion does not ap-
pear to uphold the contention of west
ern senators end representatives. The
West is willing to grant justice to
Cuba, even at little cost to itself.
Anyone who seeks to explain this
seeming anomaly must do it upon the
following basis:
The broadcast, most generous, most
patriotic people of the United States
now live in the Mississippi Valley. In
the East there is apathy as to gov
eminent politics. In the West there
is the keeneSt Sort of interest. The
East does not care if promise which
Mckinley made to Cuba is broken by
the congress. The West does care,
and the West is willing to pay the
price of keeping that promise.

MORTUARY
David fertig.

David Fertig, one OF the old stttlers
of Marshall county, died at bis home
in West township, Saturday evening
aged SO years.
Deceased was an honest industrious
citizen, who had experienced in great
measure all the hardships incident to
pioneer life. He had many ''upS and
downs" but was always comparatively
cheerful.
About three years ago he and his
wife were thrown from their buggy at
the railway crossing west of this city
and both were badly hurt, but Mr..
Fertig's injuries were such that it
seemed that he could survive but a
few days at most. While he never
recovered, he lived longer than many
younger persons would with SO many
broken bones.
He leaves three daughters living
and one son, Mr.. Frank Fertig, of this
city.
Funeral services were held at Trim
ity church in West township at l
o clock Monday afternoon

words Of SamBryant, the venerable
Kentucky horseman, as he boarded a
train for his home in Louisville Sat-
urday night. The old gentleman, a
familiar figure on every race course in
America for the last fifty years, had
himself taken to the course at Wash
ingt0n Park Saturday morning so that
he might be rested for the great event
in the afternoon. He lay most of the
day on couch at the stables of Press
West. and when the bugle call came
for the Derby he was carried out to
the track, where he was held up to
view his last race. When the last
horse had crossed the line he was
carried back again to the couch, where
he rested until it was time to leave
for the train.

Debauched His PARTY.

William Jennings Bryan, in his
paper, THE Commoner," this week
reviews tbs speech of Grover Cleve-
land at the TiIden banquet, from
which we take the following extracts:
Having debauched his party he
was offended by its effort to reform
and gave comfort to the enemy. Vir-
glniuS killed his daughter to save her
chastity: Cleveland stabbed his party
to prevent its return to the paths of
virtue. And now, still gloating over
his political crimes, he invites the
party to return to him and apologize
for the contempt which it has ex-
pressed for him Will it? Not until
the principles of Jefferson are forgot
ten and the words of Jackson cease to
inspire.
He continues: "He, Cleveland, Sc
cured his nomination in 1892 by a
secret bargain with the financiers: his
committee collected from the corpora
tions and spent the largest campaign
fund the party ever had; he filled his
cabinet with corporation agents and
placed railroad attorneys on the
United States bench to look after the
interests of their former clients. He
turned the treasury over to Wall
street syndicate, and the financial
member of his official family went
from Washington 30 become the pri-
vate attorney of the man who forced

him government bonds at los and

prevent the adoption of the income
tax provision, refused to sign the only
tariff reform measure passed since the

nant pool from whose waters foul va
porS arose, poisonous to those who lin
gered near.
