Water for the Farm.

From the American House and Garden
The farmer is a large user OF water,
for no farming operations cen be car
ried on without It. The Installation Of
a water plant for farm purposes-for
use In the market house and barn-is,
therefore, one of the first essentials TO
successful farming. This, however,
should be but the first step, for a wa
ter plant that gives running water in
the barn can afford the same facility
In the kitchen at una additional ex-
pense. No farm wife need be told of
the superior merits OF running water
IN her kitchen over the old fashioned
well, or the hardly less archaic hand
pump. The latter has, of course, some
co~nVenlences over the former, but 1t
entails weary work and adds a quite
unnecessary burden to the many labors
that fall to the wife on the farm.
But assuming that running water has
been brought into the farm kitchen,
the question may well be asked: Why
stop there? Why not a bath room
why not a separate bath room for the
men help? Why not shower baths and
all the conYeniences that modern
plumbing has brought? All these things
should follow as a matter OF course,
n no doubt would do SO could the
farmer be convinced as to their utility
n be satisfied that their installation
would not cripple his financial re-
sources. The latter point is apt to have
more weight than the former. There
is unquestionably a large field for bus
mess in this direction.

Disease Caused by FIeas.

AApAAA aANA y = @Ahi1
While the public has been more or
iess educated as to the responsibility
of the mosquito for malaria and yellow
fever, 1t has not heard so much about
the flea, which many scientists believe
has some connection with the trans
mission of leprosy and possibly Of
plague. Before a crusade is preached
against this insect, however, 1t is de-
sirable that it should be studied most
carefully, and a recent writer in Sci
enc desires the cooperation of his pro-
fessional brethren in the extensive coll
lecting of the fleas infesting rats, cats.
dogs, and especially human beings, in
all parts OF the world. but more par
ticularly and thoroughly in all plague
and leprosy infected regions.
There Is involved in the proposed
plan such an extended and systematic
study of the flea as is now being car
ried on by the United States govern
ment in the case of mosquitoes. The
subject is, Of curse a very open one,
and q vast amount of experimental
work must be done, but it is believed
that the fieas living on rats and mice
do their part In spreading the plague.
These rodents are destroyed by quar-
nntine and other government health Of
acials wherever possible in the east,
and such measures AVE a most salu-
tary effect In checking disease. The flea
presents a very different proposition
from the mosquito. on account of his
habits and characteristics. He is said
10 he an epicurc, where the mosquito
is Il Slutton, and may bite q dozen
places In as many minutes without fill-
Ing himself with blood. His puncturing
apparatus is so formed hat IL has
been suggested that he is unable TO
wipe his mouth clean after a meal, and
parts OF the mouth are recommended
as useful for obtaining blood c~orpuscles
FOR examination With the microscope.
The chief Indictment against the flea
is that he bites an infected person, and
then communicates or transfers the
bacilli TO n healthy individual. who
may thus become infected. The results
Of this study will be awaited with no
small amount OF interest,

and started to leave home, going To

nat Six ugly Wounds were
inflicted, one directly over the heart.
which n prove fatal, In his infuri-
ated state Washburn would certainly
have killed his wife but for the prompt
appearance of Chief of Police Sulli-
van, who looks after the night work in
the city. He heard the wife's screams
and FASTENED TO Martins home. Wash
burn was SO mad that he turned on
the officer and would have done him
bodily harm had not the latter been
too quick for him. Sullivan was
obliged TO fell Washburn with a rap
over the head with q billy, cutting a
bad wound on his head. About this
time Sheriff j. A. Gunderson, who re-
sides a block away, also appeared on
the scene and THE officers had no trou-
Bile in landing a.m in jail.
DIR. Cruickshank was called to at
tend TO Mrs. Washburn's wounds and
he found her IN a serious condition.
Four bad gashes were inflicted on the
arm near the shoulder, one on the
wrist, and the most dangerous one of
the six lies directly over the heart.
This morning Mrs. Washburn COM
plains of her heart, though she is rest
ing easy as could be expected.
WashDurn used n knife whose blade
is between three and foul inches long.
The wonder Is that he did not reach a
vital spot. Only the valiant struggle
made by the wife for her life kept the
drunken husband from literally slash
ing her to pieces.
When Washburn is a good
fellow, but once under the influence
OF liquor he has a temper that is
something terrible.

the Johnson Bros. making a public
acknowledgment of their error. The
election was holly contested and nue.
bad blood was stirred up Everything
possible was done to defeat the aspir-
ing candidates. The cause of the suit
was the fact that the defendants
caused to be published a circular al
leging that Mr.. Foster misappropriated
money on n former business transac-
ton arising out of the demise of the
Douglas County bank, which went to
the wall in the early '90s. Aside from
that, the circular stated by insinua-
ton and inuendo that the money was
spent on a cattle enterprise that was
being encouraged and developed near
Pierre, S. D., by a former resident of
this city, who was at me time engaged
in the banking business in this city.
Now the defendants openly and pub
licly acknowledge hat they were in
error and the suit has been dismissed.
Thus ends one of the many fights that
have attended political contests in this
county since 1882.

OF WHAT BEFELL AT KINGS


Skipping lightly oVer the happenings
Of the two days following my departure
from Charlotte on the kings errand, 1
may say hat after passing the British
outpoStS at the crossing of the Cataw-
ba, | met neither friend nor foe. and
from moor on / rode to the westward
through a pitiless drizzling rain,
splashed to the belt with the mire of
the road, and having little chance to
inquire my way.
This last lack grew with the passing
hours to the size of a threatening haz-
ard. AS o may have guessed, l knew
no more than a blind man the route
| should take; knew no more OF the
whereabouts Of Gilbert Town and Ma
jor Ferguson's rendezvous than that
both were some eighty miles to the
westward.
At the outset l had thought to feel
out the way in general by cautious in
quiry along the road; but when / came
to consider of this, the risk OF betray-
ing my ignorance to those who followed
me was too great to let me turn aside
to any of the wayside houses; and as
for chance passers-by, there were none
the rain kept all within doors.
So l was constrained to gallop on
without pause; and throughout that
comfortless afternoon and the scarce
lesS miserable day which followed,
there were no incidents to break the
dull monotony Of the blind race save
these two; that once the clouds lifted
enough to give me a glimpse Of my
pursuers in a far reach to the east
ward; and once again l had a sight Of
an awkward horseman in the road be-
fore me-saw him and tried TO over
take him. and could not, for all his
clumsy riding.
Now l was curious about this lone
horseman ahead for more reasons than
one, but chiefly because my glimpse of
him seemed to show me the back Of a
mar whom | made sure / had left safe
behind in the British guard house in
Charlotte. to-wit: the scoundrelly little
p~ettifogger.
AT first l scoffed at the idea. Saying
he were free TO leave Charlotte, how
should he be riding post on my hap
hazard road to the westward? Twas
against all reason, and yet the tittup-
ing figure of which l had but a rain
yelled glimpse named itself Owen Pen
garvia in spite Of ali the reasons /
could bring TO bear.
Twas close on eventide Of the Sec
ond day. the early evening cleaning of
a chill autumnal rain-day, and | had
been since morning obviously lost in
the somper trackless forest, when an
elfsh cry rose, as IL would seem, from
beneath the very hoofs OF my horse.
