Why Many Shootings Occur.

A WalIa Walla clothing merchant
makes the astounding assertion that
three-fourths of the men and youths
who come to him for the measure
ment of suits carry revolvers; which
statement leads the Union to remark
that the carrying of firearms and
other dangerous weapons, when ones
vocation does not positively require
them for thte protection of life and
property, is perpetual invitation to
take advantage of moments of pas
sion or melancholy to brand one with
the everlasting stigma of murder or
suicide. The day is past when it is
necessary or wise for the ordinary
person to carry around with him the
wherewith to violently take life, Ell
Their his own or another's. In the
sudden heat of anger or despair many
a life has been snuffed out, when
perhaps seconds thought would
have prevented the crime Not hav-
ing the means Immediately at hand
to kill furnishes the moments delay
which in the vast majority of cases
Is sufficient for the brain to clear.
and thus prevent a tragedy. There is
law against the carrying of conceal
ed weapons, and the commonwealth
owes il to itself to enforce to the
letter this statute. so that murder
and suicide shall not so frequently
follow hard upon trivial quarrels and
unimportant and oftimes imaginary
grievances. The Dalles Chronicle.

ROBBED OF $4,000
TN SECURITIES.
BOSTON MAN NOTIFIED THAT HE
CAN RECOVER PROPERTY BY
PAYING REWARD.
Bonds Taken from Under His Pillow
While He Slept on
Boat.

Boston, Mass, June PA robbery in
volving the loss of $12O,OOO in securities
by Henry w. Comstock of Boston, which
occurred on board the steamer Puritan
during her trip from New York to Fall
River last night, was reported to the po-
lice authorities of this city today.
The securities, which included twenty
two certificates of stock of various rail
roads and of the United States Steel cor
poration were taken from under pillow
in Mr.. Comstock's stateroom by someone,
who, it is believed, had climbed through
a window. The securities were received
by Mr.. Comstock in a business transac-
ton at a New York hotel on Saturday
and it is suspected that some one who
witnessed the incident followed the man
on board the boat and then committed
the robbery.
Shortly after Mr.. Comstock had
reached this city he received a telephone
message from New York, telling him
that he could regain the lost property by
paying suitable amount of cash.

Spraying Potatoes.

To get the best of the blight on po-
tatoes the work Of spraying must be
started when the plants are a few
inches high and continued throughout
the season, doing the work thoroughly
every ten days or two weeks at most,
oftener If the rain washes off the
spray. While opinions differ, expert
ence has shown that the following for
mula is the most effective one for use
in spraying potatoes: Dissolve six
pounds of blue .vitriol and four pounds
Of best stone lime in fifty gollons of
water and when the plants are small
apply at the rate Of fifty gallons per
acre, increasing the quantity as the
plants grow until in midsummer 100
gallons to the acre are used.
When it is necessary to use some
thing for the destruction Of potato
bugs, dissolve Paris green in the Bor-
deauX mixture as indicated, at the
rate Of one pound to each seventy-fye
gallons Of the mixture, spraying the
combined mixture together While sew
eral other mediums are used, we feel
that the Bordeaux mixture compound
ed as indicated, will do the business
better than anything else. If the best
methods are followed in conjunction
with this spraying, there ought to be
comparatively little trouble in obtain
ing a good crop of potatoes in a nor
NAL season.

Points on Poultry.

Plant a plum tree in the chicken
yard now.
Feed all fowls confined In the yard
green food.
Stop feeding ten or twelve hours be-
fore killing.
The higher the breed, the greater the
care must be. Cut down on the large
grain.
No poultry breeder will make the
nests for his sitting hens on the
ground.
Persian insect powder is a good rem.
edy for lice. It should be busted over
the fowls and nests.
Keep the chicks out Of damp places
and watch for rOup. Dampness af.
fects the feet and legs Of the chick.
Clean the poultry house every day.
Do not throw away old broken plas-
ter and mortar. Put it in the poultry
yard.
Paint the poultry houses outside and
whitewash it often inside. If you can
not do both, do the inside once a
month.
CapOns are superior in every respect
to all other fowl. The public demand

them-and the poultry raiser must pro.
duce them.

Baked Fish.

An old-fashioned way of baking fish
au gratin has never been improved
upon. Skin the fish, starting at the
head and drawing towards the tail, cut
Off the head and take out the back
bone. This leaves two large pieces Of
fish. Prepare a sauce by lightly brown
ing minced slice Of onion in two
tablespoonfuls Of butter. When the
butter bubbles, stir in two tablespoon
fuls of flour and add stock or water
to make a creamy compound. Season,
and add the juice Of half a lemon and
half a tablespoonful Of minced parsley.
Lay the fish on a buttered baking tin
and pour the sauce over it, Sprinkle
thickly with breadcrumbs, put bits Of
butter over, and bake in a quick oven
70" about twenty-five minutes. Toma
auce is recommended with this.

Railway Rate LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention of the Or
der Of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Ore, resolutions were
unanimously adopted voicing their SEN
timents as to the effect of proposed
railway rate legislation on the 1,30O,-
900 railroad employees, whom they in
past represented. These resolutions
Endorse the attitude Of President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates
and other illegalities, and commend the
attitude of the heads of American rail
ways, who, with practical unanimity,
have joined with the President on this
question: They then respectfully
point out to Congress, the "inadvisabili-
ty of legislation vesting in the hands
Of a commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than in any other country" be-
cause such regulation would result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
tend to an enforced reduction in rates.
irrespective Of the question Of the abil-
ity of the railroads to- stand the reduc-
ton, especially in view of the increased
cost Of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter
state Commission because "the pro-
posed legislation is not i'm harmony
with Our idea Of American juriSpru
dence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that single body shall have the right
to investigate indict, try, condemn and
then enforce it's decisions at the cost
of the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned OF the ground that
the low cost of transportation sis the
result of the efficiency Of American
railway management and operation
which have built up the country
through constant Improvement and de-
velopment of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
IN pressing their claim against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that 'the freight
rates of this country average only 2
per cent of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so insignificant factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts
of the country"

Gloves and Microbes.

1t was noticed in Paris when King
Edward was there that he always ap-
peared in public with his right hand
gloved, but not his left. AS it is
common practice to carry the right glove
loose and not the left, much speculation
has been excited by the Kings reversal
Of the custom. One learned writer sug-
gests that it is due to a sound perception
of hygienic propriety. The object of a
glove, he says, is not to adorn but to pro-
tect the hand Which hand has the more
constant employment and is therefore
brought into closer contact with mi
crobes? Why, the right hand. It fol-
lows that in keeping that hand gloved the
King shows his unfailing sense. Vive

Relieving Calves from Flies,

During the summer months flies are
a constant torment to young calves.
The chronological department Of the
Kansas State Agricultural College has
been experimenting and compromising
various substances in order to produce
an effective and economical mixture,
which, when applied to the surface of
an animal would ward off the flies. AS
a result of these experiments, it has
succeeded in producing the following
formula, which seems to answer the
purpose reasonably well: Resin, y
pounds; laundry soap, 2 cakes; fish-oil,
~ pint; enough water to make three
gallons. Dissolve the resin in a So
luton Of soap and water by heating
water. Apply with a brush. It to be
used as a spray, add y pint Of kero-
sene. This mixture will cost from to
8 cents per gallon, and may be used on
either calves or COWS. One-half pint
of this mixture is considered enough
for one application for a COW; a calf,
sOf course, would require considerably
less. 1t will be more economical to
apply this only to the parts Of the ami
NAL not reached by the tail. At first
it will perhaps be necessary to give
two or three applications per week,
until the outer ends Of the hair be-
come coated with resin; after that, re-
touch those parts where the resin is
rubbed off,

utes were lost in futile efforts to cool
the troublesome axle. Finally, freight
engine was attached and the train limped
into Crestline.
Sixty-eight Miles an Hour.
Here the regular engine was in wait
ing and when the flyer" left the latter
place it was 26 minutes late. The run
to Fort Wayne, 131 miles away, was
made in 11412 minutes, an average OF
GS.6 miles an hour. When the train
pulled out of Fort Wayne for the last
lap of the long journey it was only 91a
minutes late, 1872 minutes of the lost
time having been made up. Miles Were
frequently reeled off in from A to so

Small Areas, Better Care.


An agricultural paper published in
the West is bemoaning the tendency
of farmers to reduce the area Of work
ing soil. In some localities they are
being forced to this by the increasing
value Of farm property, with the con-
sequent taxation making it too valua-
Die IN the one sense, and too expensive
In the other, to use for farming pur-
poses. There is, however, another side
to the question: side which farmers
In all sections located near good mar
kets have learned-and this is that it
Is more profitable to till ten acres we'll
than a hundred i'll.
Near the great city of New York
there are hundred men or more who
raise market stuff on land worth sew
eral thousand dollars an acre. They
pay the high rent for such land and
make profit simply because they get
several big crops from the soil, with
the help Of hotbeds and cold frames, in
a season. 1t may be claimed that such
work is not possible except in such a
locality, but those who know say IT, +
prices in New York are frequen.-y
much less than in many Of the smaller
cities and towns, which is undoubtedly
true. A neighbor Of the writer, in
Iowa, makes more profit from seven
acres in small fruits and about an
acre, range and all, devoted to poultry,
than do most Of his neighbors with
farms ranging from fifty to eighty
acres in eXtent.-Indianap News.
