The harrow herewith Illustrated and

long by four feet wide, with eight
teeth in each beam. The teeth should
be of fve-eighths inch steel and put

Two DueIs.

tisement out Of q duel fought on a
wet day by insisting upon holding his
umbrella up with one hand while he
fred his pistol with the other. He was
willing, he courageously said, to take
the risk Of being shot, but he must be
excused from taking the greater risk
Of catching cold.
The duel which Benjamin Constant,
who suffered from govt, fought sitting
in Bath chair may have been Of
somewhat similar character. Honor in
that case was declared to be satisfied

In Montana this plant is most COM

Of this name a mistaken notion has
arisen that this is identical with the
common parsnip of the garden. A
number Of cases Of poisoning Of both
cattle and sheep have happened in
Montana from eating this species, and
since the term wild parsnip Is com.
monty used to designate the cause II
has come to be believed by large
number Of persons that the garden
parsnip when allowed to escape from
cultivation and run wild acquires pol
sonous properties. The two plants
should be readily distinguished. The
flowers Of the garden parsnip are gel
low, while those Of the water hemlock
are white.

The Democratic situation in Mas
sachusetts cannot fail to have a de-
pressing effect on the party through
out the nation, for the differences
there accentuated by the nomina-
ton OF the separate tickets and the
promulgation of inconsistent plat
forms permeate, more or less, the
entire party organization. The con-
servative and radical wings do not
flap together any better now than
they did In Clevelands second ad-
ministration, when the party divided
on the silver question. In Massa-
chusetts they do not seem to have
been able to get together on any
thing, and. what is more astonishing
there Is no desire on the part of those
now in control of the party ma
chinery to bring them together. The
convention run by Williams faction
simply excluded the Whitney dele
gates by force. There was no de-
liberation, no consideration of issues
between them. no vote that was any
sort of indication of the relative
strength OF opposing candidates. The
Whitney men had no chance to bolt
they were thrust out in advance
No alternative remained to them but
to hold a convention of their own

The idiocy of Democrats all over
the country in fighting one another
when they should get together and
fight the common enemy, which is
as badly divided at this time as we
are, reminds me of the definition
Ben Butler once gave of the Demo-
| cratic party. He said it was like
man riding backwards in railway
| car-never saw anything until it
passed it. From its actions at the
present time l am inclined to be-
lieve he was about correct. 1t is
enough to cause honest mems stom-
achs to regurgitate and disgust the
Almighty. The Democracy never had
better chance to win, is the opinion
of the best informed men of the
party who come here, provided its
members can get together and stop
their eternal pickering among them
selves. Why, the Massachusetts
Democracy. so-called, actually split
on the tariff question, which is one
on which all Democrats should be
united. With Taft saying in his
speeches that we must not try to re-
form the tariff until after the next
| election, which is the same old song
we have been getting from the Re-
publican party for the past dozen
years, with never a move in that
| direction, and with Taft the most
| likely candidate of the Republican
| party, we have the chance of our
| lives to prove to the people that
the Republican party is long on
promises and short on performance
II we can unite on some good man
who is thoroughly available, like
| Young Chanler, of New York, who
has done something no other Demo-
crat in that state has done for fifteen
years-carried the state. The move

much confusion ensued at the N. P.
station last night.
The order was a new one on the
travellers of this city and they were
not prepared for it. Many had not
their baggage checked and when the
doors of the baggage room closed 10
minutes before the train pulled out
there arose a weeping and wailing and
gnashing of teeth. People who wanted
their baggage checked were not SLOW
in saying so and the doors were finally
opened again.
Regarding the order. General Agent
Calderhead today said:

to do so the baggage must be checked
ahead. The order will be enforced but
we anticipate no confusion after few
