Papers not posted on the status of
the Angora industry are liable to print
some strange news thereon. The fol-
lowing from the American Cultivator
Is a case in point: The popularity of
the Angora goat seems TO have been
a short lived affair. Some Of the larger
concerns have gone out of business,
declaring that the young stock could
not be sold. Others have offered goats
at 81 per head. Probably the truth is
that the boom In sheep has side-track-

Cleaning Eggs for Market.

The best way to have the eggs clean
is to see that the nest material in each
box is kept clean at all times. If but a
few eggs are soiled these should be
kept at home for use and they may be
safely washed If they are to be used
within a few hours afterward. If 1t Is
necessary to cleanse the shell Of the
eggs which go to market good plan
Is to take them in hand as soon as they
are brought in and with a canton fan
mel cloth go over them. If the soil
still sticks breathe lightly on the egg
and wipe 1t again, always with the
dry cloth. Eggs which are wet spoil
very quickly and the moisture removes
the bloom from the shell.

Three Killed and Twenty Hurt In
Ashland Explosion.

Three men were killed and twenty 9TH
ers were injured by the blowing up of a
powder mill near Ashland. The shock
was terrific and broke many windows in
Ashland. The cause of the explosion is
not known. The accident occurred just

William Wallace, a laborer, and George
Woodsill were first to enter the building
They had scarcely entered when the nitro

the pail of smoke and each dassad back
in search of his companions. The mutt
lated body of Superintendent Pierce was
found where he had fallen inside the neu-
Trailing building, and close beside him
were found Wallace and Woodisil, torn
and dis6gured. Fire had broken out at
several places among the debris of the
wrecked building, but this speedily was
subdued. An examination of the other
buildings on the premises showed that not
one of the twenty-five had escaped some
damage. The scene of the accident is
seven miles from Ashland and the force

feet. This locality is rough, having some
hills 200 feet high, besides numerous gull
lies and rayines. On the Minnesota side
the Milwaukee railway officials sent out
prompt warning and a line of guards
was spread for miles The sheriff while
watching the river finally found the men
and persuaded them to surrender. Most
serious consequences were apprehended if
the murderers were captured by the Pres
colt posse. The neighhors of the Prescott
officers were both ugly and determined
and had the Italians fallen into their
hands before their passions cooled the
lives of the murderers would have been
worth little. To this fact was the surren-
der due, the sheriff convincing the Ital-
ians they would be killed if they resisted.
The men were taken to the Jail for safe
keeping.

Presidential EXPENSES.

President Roosevelt should not ex
pect the people to pay for his hunt
ing and pleasure trips. The people and
their Representatives are perfectly
wiling to pay all his bills for tray
cling when on public business. 1t
will be recalled that President Cleye-
land always paid his own railroad and
other expenses when he made trips for
any purpose, and never asked Congress
to make appropriations.
Another matter that has displeased
the President greatly is because Con-
gress refuses to appropriate money to
build a new executive stable He claims
the present one, which is Immediately
south of fac State, War and Navy De
partment building, is unsanitary, but to
all appearances it is a very commodious
and extensive building well construct
ed, and cost probably over $4,000, and,
of course, is kept in excellent repair.
Presidents Cleveland, Harrison and Nc
Kinley kept then horses there and were
perfectly satisfied with 1t and the
horses were in fine condition.
The fact is that President Roosevelt,
born with a silver spoon i'll his mouth,
and from his earliest boyhood having
had all his desires gratitied, that money
would purchase, has in consequence
very extravagant ideas of the pomp
and vanities of life, and especially since
he has become President The cost of
maintaining the presidential state has
rapidly increased, so that now it is
nearly double what it cost less than ten
years ago, as will be seen from an Off
cial statement published in the Con-
gressional Record on June 9th, page
1877, for the different years:
