 Pine Blufr. Ark, Dee. s.--Radical ---and determined methods were used by unknown parties last night in theIF efforts to divert the swift current Of the Arkansas river from the banks at Pine Blur and throughout the night. loud explosions shook the city.
 Dynamite was freely used in an attempt to protect threatened property Today, more than 100 yards of the point' of land opposite Pine Bluff. known as Boyd's Point. including a four room residence, had disappeared from slew and the river Is sweeping past the city in a wider channel and with less force on the endangered banks.
 General orders have been issued to municipal officers to permit no dyna- hitting but it was impossible for these functionaries to cross the river last night.
 In Pine Blun today it is said that the Identity of the jynamiters are known to the municipal officers.
 News of the plan to use dynamite had been tipped on to Captain Parkin U S. engineer at Little Rock, and he sent word to stop 1t at all hazards. The government boats were practically out of commission however, owing 10 the heavy current and could not get to the scene in the darkness.
 Sheriff Philpott hurried to the river front when the explosion came. The strong surrent made 1t almost impos- sible to cross the river at that time and he could do nothing to stop opera tions.
 A strong sentiment prevails here that drastic as was the action In de- fyink the government and using dyna- mite to change the current of the stream. the end has justified the ac- ton The property and the section of the city now endangered is not nearly so valuable as the court house, hotel and other property before tho peril.
 The effects of the dynamttipg began to be noticed shortly after midnight. The current swung to the east almost tmperceptibiy at first. then more rapid ly, as the dynamiting progressed and the point was torn away.
 By 2 o'clock the anxious workers who lined the shore could see that the full force of the current was missing the bank directly in front of the court house. For the first time in two days the citizens began to have hope oE saving the. annex. By day break, the current was sweeping some distance to the east of the court house.

Winter Shelter for stock.

With the approach of the cold
months, as the farmer is making prep
arations for his comfort, he should not
forget to similarly provide for the anil
mails on the farm.
Especially young stock demand good,
warm shelter, and this should be pro-
vided for them before the real cold
weather sets in. Warmth to a young
animal is equal to moderate amount
of food.
Animals exposed to the frosts and
storms of winter are almost sure to
catch cold, IL not contract some other
disease that will either enfeeble them
or prove fatal.
Farmers that do not take this matter
into consideration often have animals
take sick and NOPE, and, perhaps, die,
without the fact for moment being
taken into account that their sickness is
due to the cruel exposure to which they
have been subjected.
Truly 1t has been said that the merci-
full man is merciful to his beast, and
the man who is not Is not only unfit to
have the care of animals, but deserves
to lose them,

HALF A MILLION A DAY.
That Is the Amount Which Chicago
Puts Into Stimulants.

II
Chicago's consumption Of stimulants "a
amazing, according to correspondent
The money spent in saloons alone totals
up between $120,O00,000 and $4,000,
600 annually. At least $10,O00000 mort
is spent for stimulating drugs in the 90s
drug stores in the city.
If tobacco can be classed as a stimp
liant 1t may be said that there are between
$4,000 and 10000 places In the city
where cigars and tobacco are sold. Prob&
bly, 100000 per day Is not an exagger
ated estimate for Chicago's smoking bill
At the lowest estimate, taking alcoholic
beverages, tobaccos, and all manner Of
drugs into account, it ia impossible to fig
ure that Chicago spends less than $780,
600 per day on stimulants of variou
kinds, and the chances are the amount IA
considerably higher.
OF this enormous sum, how much does
the worker spend? Fully IS per cent, II
all business men, officers Of corporations
and all men who work with hand or brain
are included. But for the worker, the
saloonkeepers themselves say, they would
have to close up shop in few days. The
remaining % per, cent of the $500,0N
must be set aside between women whG
lead domestic lives and non-workers Of all
kinds. Women perhaps are the heaviest
Of all users Of drugs.

Members of the Railroad Conductors
Order and of the brotherhood of Train
men are working together in formulating
demands which they expect to make, and
vote on the proposition to ask an in
crease in wages is now in progress. This
movement involves 10000 employees on
sixty-fve different lines east of the Mis-
sissippi. Besides increase In pay, radical
changes in the rules of service are to be
demanded.
In the Federal District Court at Los
Angeles Judge Welborn imposed fine
Of $330000 upon the Atchisou, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad upon its conviction
last July for granting rebates to the
Grand Canyon Line and Cement Com
pany Of Arizona. The judge said this
was an intermediate penalty" as the
maximum fine would have been $780,
600. The company had asserted that
the alleged rebates were paid on account
Of damaged goods.
A reduction in force extending through
all departments of the Burlington rail-
road has been ordered, which will amount
to 10000 before the end of December.
At the same time, working hours have
been cut from nine TO eight.
The series of locomotive speed tests
conducted by the Pennsylvania Railroad

little over ninety-two miles an hour.
This was, however. still short of the rec
ord Of ninety-nine miles made by steam
locomotive last week.

CURING Ham. and shou1der..

As soon as possible after the meat Is
cold all through, the hams and shoul-
ders should be cured. They should be
placed on table la the cellar, skin
side down. Then for every 100 pounds
of meat make mixture Of four pounds
OF the best fine salt, two ounces Of pow
dered saltpeter, and four ounces Of
brown sugar. This mixture should be
well rubbed into the hams all over, and
some pushed into hook end around the
bone. Keep on rubbing until the meat
will take no more; then let them re-
main on the table for a week, when the
remainder of the mixture can be rubbed
In. Allow them to lie for about two
weeks altogether, and then hang up by
a string placed through the hook, In a
cool, dark smokehouse.
For two or three days keep up a good
smoke from hickory chips, smothered
with sawdust, during the day. Keep in
cool place, and before spring exam
inc to see that no insects have deposited
eggs. Dust little cayenne pepper,
then cover with coarse muslin to fit the
ham exactly and stitch tightly. Give
coat Of whltewash or chrome yellow,
and hang In cool, dark, dry place.
For curing In pickle, to one gallon of
water take one and half pounds of
salt, half pound of sugar, half an
ounce each of saltpeter and potash. In
this ratio the pickle can be increased
to enough to cover any amount Of pork.
Boil together until all dirt rises to the
top and Is skinned of. When cold
pour 1t over the hams or pork, which
may be picked In this way. The meat
must be well covered by 1t, and should
not be put down for at least two days
after killing, during which time it
should be slightly sprinkled with salt
peter, which removes all the surface
blood, leaving the meat fresh and clean.
A good way to keep hams Is to pack
In dry salt in dry place, not having
any part exposed or touching each
other =# #t. .-..H.

If desired the sides may be built
from the floor solid and straight up,
but we find 1t better to have q per-

dies, with removable side boards to slip
on for use in handling bulky stuff.
Heavy material, such as bags of fer

may be loaded between the handles d.

Aeronlane.. Cireular Flight.

Henry Farman has continued his mar
velous flights at Paris with MS famous
aeroplane, built by the Voisin brothers on
the general plan of the Chanute soarer.
Before great and wildly enthusiastic
throng of people he repeatedly maneu-
vered his machine one kilometer in a COM
plete circle, returning to the point of de-
parture. This was regarded as a demon
stration of practical aerial fight by ma
chimes heavier than air or without the
aid Of gas bags. The machine first rolled
slowly along the ground on its two pneu-
matte tired wheels: then, as the speed in
creased from the action Of the propellers,
the big winged thing shot oftSlnto the air
at a gentle angle, all the time Mr., Far
man steering with apparent ease and con-
fdence and keeping an even keel and a
steady course to the turning point and
back. The machine resembles a huge
dragon Hy, with upper and lower sets Of
wings attached to light frame carrying
motor, machinery and operator.
