agement, are being broken up and re-
duced in size. There are advantages
as well as disad yantages in "bonanza
farming, I" but. as a rule, few men are
capable of handling more than 5000
or 6, 900 acres. One reason worth men,
tioning, however, is that after the
financial depression Of 1893 wheat
went down and remained down, while
land wentup and remained upin price,
and several of the owners of the big
farms ''realized" upon their property,
selling out large tracts to newcomers.

The second union service took place
at the Reformed church Sunday night.
Two of the pastors. owing to appoint
ments previously arranged for, were
preventd from being present. The
service was a success, IN spite of high
temperature. Rev. belong of the
NJ. E. church preached strong ser
mon. His theme was the Power Of
Col and his willingness to employ
that power in the service of human
kind. Gods power is illustrated In
ENTHUSIASTICALLY in the stupendous
frame work and operation OF the uni
verse. His willingness to help men is
illustrated in scripture and experience.
No one could hear this sermon with
out charging his imagination, and
having his filth stimulated to grasp
the truth that ssGod can do every
thing.''
The next service will be held at the
q. B. church rezt Sunday night.
Rev. Palmer will preach the sermon.

John Taylor, the winner Of the rich
M. and NJ. stake race at Detroit, last
week, was raised by James Taylor,
the well known horseman, living near
Ladoga, and just year ago the now
famous trotter was doing service In
the harvest field. 1t so happened
that Mr.. Taylor ran short of horses
and the big gray gelding, the future
OF which was not SO promising then as
it is now, was hitched to a reaper
alongside a mule. John Taylor did

owner has just refused an offer of
$40, 900 for him.

The labor union graft in New York
received hard blow in the conviction
of Lawrence Murphy of embezzlement.
Murphy was formerly treasurer Of the
Stone Cutters Union and his crime
consisted in demanding and receiving
large sums for calling off strikes,
which he failed to account for. The
district attorney says other trials and
convictions will follow. This will
probably put an end to the holding up
Of employers by union officials, whether
by authority of the unions or not.

poleon at Waterloo, so the confeder-
ates under Lee at Gettysburg held the
weaker position. In both cases the
assailants sought to expel their OPP
ponents from the stronger lines. II
might add another resemblance in the
results which followed" said General
Gordon. "Waterloo decreed the des-

Gettysburg, not SO directly or i'm
