MOB AT BARCELONA SHOWS
ITSELF TO BE FEROcIoUS

PARIS, July 31.--Although all the
censored dispatches from Madrid agree
that Gen. Brandos, the military com
mander at Barcelona, has ruthlessly
crushed the revolution there. executing
many ringleaders, and that the gov
ernment is now in control of the sit
uation, reports filtering out at Car
bere on the French frontier none of
which, however, was later than noon
on July 20, indicate that the mob
until then had the upper hand and that
nothing in history with the exception
of the commune approached the fero-
cious drama being enacted. All the re-
ports agree that the movement was
slxillfully organized and broke like
bolt from a clear sky. Three facts
stand out prominently.
First, the troops in the earliest stages
refused to fire on the mob either be-
cause they We're numerically inferior
or because they were ia sympathy with
the mob; second, the movement was
distinctly revolutionary and anti-cler-
ical, and therefore the fury of the mob
was vented almost entirely against the
church and its representatives, private
property being generally spared.
Curse the Police
Eye witnesses say the popuace every
where acclaimed the troops, while
cursing and fighting The police and the
civil guard, and the cries were Down
with the government! Down with the
king! Long live the rcrublie!"
Stories of the ferocity of the mob
toward church property and the
priests, monks and nuns are incredi-
BILE. The monks who could not escape
through the subterranean passages in
the monasteries were beaten and
killed. The nuns, fleeing from the
burning converts, were driven half
naked through the streets, and the
priests, 1t is reported, were shot at
the steps of the altar. 1t is even stated
the mangled bodies of monks were
carried on poles through the streets
by 10000 people and that the captain
general was powerless to interfere.
The revolutionary committee directed
everything. Notwithstanding this anti
clerical ferocity, other reports intimate
that the Carlists, who stand for
clerical reaction in Spain, had hand
in the organization of the uprising.

confidence In the passage of the bill by
a majority of at least ten votes.
Most of the antagonism came from
the representatives who are opposed to
free hides.
Most intense feeling in the senate
came from southern Democrats, who
denounced the putting of binding twine
on the free list and leaving cotton bag
ging on the dutiable list as an unwar-
ranted partiality. The Democratic
caucus reached a decision against fill
clustering as party. Senator Bailey
left the caucus before it had concluded,
telling the other members he proposed
to pursue any course he deemed best
in the interest of the southern planters.
Democratic senators criticised the in
creased tax on tobacco, which they
declare was imposed to make UP for
the reduction of the corporation tax
rate.
Votes of fourteen Republican senat-
ors would be necessary to reject the
conference report. Seven or eight of
the original insurgents will cast their
tallots in opposition to the report, but
it is not believed that their example
will be followed by many other Repub-
licans.

GETTING WEIGHED.
One Patron Whose Motive Might Have
Puzzled Any Weighing Machine.

FuxZicQ ANY WCl9utH9 mdSiHHS'
II the weighing machines that stand
around in public places with mouth
ever open for cents could talk odd
tales could they tell OF the many and
varied people that step upon their
platforms-of the stout lady who steps
down with smile glad that she has
lost one pound out of 300, of the stout
gentleman who fumes because he has
gained one, OF the slim gentleman
who steps up with a forty pound suit
case in his hand and Is astounded to
find himself gaining weight so rapidly,
OF the merry parties Of young men
and young women who, some plump,
some lean, step up one after another;
OF the proud parent who sets little
Willie there and then little Ethel, OF
the keen small boy who tries to get
his grandfather to let him step up
before the old gentleman steps down
so that they can both get weighed
for a cent, and all that sort of thing.
In short the weighing machine
meets all sorts and varieties OF peo-
pie, and 1t comes to know them all,

BREEDING UP IS CHEAPEST.
No Money in Raising Scrub Stock
Get Pure-Bred Bull.

The farmer who intends TO secure a
herd Of pure-bred cattle will find it
cheaper to breed up than to buy pure
bred stock. This is especially true if
he is preparing to raise cattle for the
purpose Of making beef. If he BUYS
all purebred stock, the investment
will be so heavy that he cannot afford
to sell the progeny for the block. but
will feel constrained to go into the
business of raising breeding cattle. for
which he may not have taste and
adaptability
Good females of pure-bred beef stock
bring high prices and he would need a
considerable number of pure bred cows
to make a good start. But with a
pure-bred bull he can in a few wears
have a herd of COWS that will make il
possible to market beeves of high
grade-market toppers For the beef
maker, then. this is about the only
course possible
In selecting herd of COWS for
breeding up, the Indiana Farmer sug-
gests that a man should try to get ami
mails in keeping with the breed of the
bull he intends to buy. Thus. if he is
going to use a pure-bred Shorthorn
bull. he should find COWS having the
general conformation of the short
horns He will find it easy to secure
good animals having in them consider
able Shorthorn blood, though these
animals would have to be regarded in
his breeding operations as without any
pure blood, simply because the buyer
would not generally know how much
Shorthorn blood such animals con
tanned
The same is true in the use of pure
bred bulls of any breed If a man
buys a Hereford bull he should hunt
up COWS having some Of the general
conformation of Herefords and use
these for his breeding operations. II
such animals cannot be secured in his
own vicinity he can generally find
them atHhc big stock markets and gel
them at meat prices. The breeding ny
process offers many advantages that
the other process does not o.ter
