How THE CENTENNIAL IS FADING AWAY
The great Centennial is fading away with
really marvellous rapidity. When the an
nouncsment was made that notwith.,tnd
ing the formal closing of the EXh,t. VI
the 10th the Fair would still be open for
some time as usual, it was believed that the
Exhibition would be preserved essentially
perfect for some weeks, and possibly until
the setting in of cold weather. A few ex-
hibitors might withdraw, it was thought,
but the bulk of them would desire to remain
as long as visitors continued coming. But
in point of fact the stoppage of the big
engine on the afternoon of the 10th was the
signal for a general and instantaneous de.
molishment Of the great show. By noon oi
the 18th, every building was in confusion
Sections were that early boarded off and ex
hibits were being actively packed and re
moved. The transformation in these few
days has been marvellous, and although &

Portable thing just now, it is worth making
if only to make the contrast between affair
at present and as they were less than weel
ago. A very large proportion of American

The Rev. DR.. Bellows, the eminent New
York preacher, not unfrequently branches
out as on Sunday last and gives his congre-
CATION unmixed practical talk OH secular
affairs. 1t was a time to inspire thought
on the moral side of the political question.
The metaphor which he employed to
describe the large significance of the situa-
ton bridged over the space between the
pulpit and the forum. He said "The ark
of our liberties has been suddenly found
poised upon the sharp Ararat of single
electoral vote and in danger of breaking in
two from the strain" Every lover of his
country should lay aside mere partisan
feeling. No suspicion of fraud must be
tolerated in the interest of either party.
The party gaining by fraud would be hated
more than the fraud itself. The nation
could not stand widespread doubts as tc
the purity of the ballot-box. "Our slair
men," he said, "have not been slain by the
sword, but by the noiseless fall of ballots
yet the fate of conflict by artillery anc
musketry between two nearly equal armie
could not be more full Of intense interes
than the result of this peaceful contro

BEES.


In purchasing honey bees, see that
YOU do not obtain them within two
miles Of your dwelling, as they might
fly back to their old home, or a part
of them, and be lost 1t is Just as
well to get them in the old style Of
box hive, and they can be transferred
to such movable comb hives as you
conclude to use, after they have
swarmed once, waiting Is to 20 days
to give time for the young bees to
leave their cells, or as many AS possi-
bic. then transfer them. The easiest
way to do this, is first TO attach
few pieces Of comb to the bars Of the
new hive on one side, say on three of
them, with melted beeswax, using a
small brush, or a rag tied to the end
of stick will do. The operation
mus be quickly performed to make
the comb adhere well. Next you
should apply thick coat Of wax to
the extreme lower edges of the other
bars, which should be made of the
shape of an inverted A or V, thus, V;
but the angle may be less acute.
This shape, if the lower part be
waxed half an inch on each side,
will cause the bees to build their
combs evenly upon them. Now you
are ready 20 transfer your bees. In
the forenoon of a warm day turn your
oa box hive bottom up, and set upon
il an empty hive of the same size and
shape, or any box made to fit we'll.
Tuea tie cloth around where the
TWO hives connect, SO as to exclude
the light; then rap smartly upon the
lower hive with stick in each hand
for 20 minutes, by which time the
queen, and the most Of the bees will
have gone up into the box above;
then place your new hive upon a
sheet either where the old hive stood,
before driving out the bees, or di-
recty in front Of its place, raise the
'front.' edge two or three inches, then
by a sudden jar dislodge all the bees
in front of it, and they will all enter

BY American Press Association to the STAR,


FOREST, o., April 25.--There is great
excitement here over a most horrible
murder, the details of which have Just
come 10 light. 1t appears that about q
week ago, as John Baumock, farmer,
residing five miles from town, was work.
ing in field with his daughter, little
girl OF seven years, and his son, aged
fifteen, he became enraged at something
the latter had done, and, raising hand
spike, struck him over the head, knock
ing him senSeless.


Thinking he had only tainted, and
fearful of the consequence when his bru-
tality should become known, he struck
him again and again, until life had be-
come entirely extinct, finishing by COW
ering the body in an adjacent log heap,
and threatening the girl with like treat
ment unless she preserved silence.


He then gave out that the boy had run
away, and nothing strange was thought
of the matter until yesterday, when The
little girl, in answer to question,
admitted that she knew the where-
abouts of her brother, but was afraid
to tell. Upon being questioned
very closely: she finally gave full
statement Of the murder, but was not
able TO give the exact locality. The
whole neighborhood turned out, and
after short search found the body par.
TALLY decomposed by exposure. Upon
suspicion being aroused Baumock at
tempted to escape, but was arrested last
evening and lodged In Jail.

July speech at Peoria as follows:


"Besides all this, l tieve the people
are nearer honest Il ever before. A
few years ago we wer Wiling to live up
on the labor of four -llion slaves. Was
that honest? Yet the people who lived
upon this unpaid labor are talking about
the dishonesty of to-day"


The farmers Of Peoria county live bet
ter than did the kings and princes two
hundred years ago-and they have twice
as much sense and heart. Liberty and
labor have given us all. l want every
person to believe in the dignity of labor
to know that the respectable man is the
useful man-the man who produces or
helps others to produce something of val
ue, whether thought of the brain or work
of the hand.


want you to 60 away with an eternal
hatred in your breast of injustice, of aris-
tocracy, of caste, of the idea that one man
has more rights than another because he
has better clothes, more land, more mon
ey, because he owns railroad, or is fa-
nous and in high position. Remember
that all men have equal rights. Remer-
Der that the man who acts best his part
who loves his friends the BEST is The most
willing to help others, truest in the dis
charge of obligation, who has the best
heart, the most feeling, the deepest SYM
pathies, and who freely gives to others
the rights that he claims for himself is
the best man. l am willing to swear to
this.


What has made this country? L say
again, liberty and labor What would we
be without labor? | want every farmer
when plowing the rustling corn of June,
while moving in the perfumed fields, to
think that he is adding to the wealth and
glory of the United States. l want every
mechanic, every man of toll, to know and
feel that he is keeping the cars running,
the telegraph wires in the air; that he is
making the statues and painting the pic
lures, that he is writing and printing the
books; that he is helping to fill the world
with honor, with happiness, with love and
law.

How TO Put UP PICKLEs.-As the
season is now at hand when every house
keeper is about putting up the year S
supply of pickles, etc, of which pure,
strong and palatable vinegar forms the
most essential part, some of our readers
may be at loss to know what kind Of
vinegar to use and ask for, that will insure
a good result, for there is nothing in the
world so aggravating to thrifty house
wife as to find on opening her pickle jar,
that instead of the firm, crisp and refresh
ing pickle. SO much desired and looked
forward to, she has for all her trouble,
time aud money simply mass of soft,
tasteless and insipid rubbish that has been
rendered so by the use of vinegar lacking
proper strength or containing all sorts OF
mineral acids and deleterious substances.
To avoid this loss and annoyance ask your
grocer for Prussing's White Wine Vinegar,
which, used in the following recipe, will
prove a success:


Pour boiling salt water over the pickles
| using a handful of salt to one gallon o!
water, let them stand over night, ther


drain them off thoroughly and cover then

The Jewish Passover commences on
April 9th and will continue for eight
days. This is solemn season among
Israelites and Jew of any pretensions
to pIety observes it most sacredly. In
the twelfth chapter of Exodus the his
torian, after describing the divine fl.
at of destruction to Egypt's first born
says; "and the blood shall be to you
for token upon the houses where we
are, and when see the blood l will
pass over you, and the plague shall
not be upon you to destroy you, when
1 smite the land of Egypt. And this
day shall be unto you for memorial;
and you shall keep it feast to the
Lord throughout your generations; We
shall keep it feast by an ordinance
forever" This is the simple history
of the origin of the passover, which
has been observed by the Jews for
thousands of years, wherever scattered
throughout the earth, whether in pros
perity or adversely. We have been
furnished the following account of the
mode of making the unleavened bread:


A half sack of -four, weighing forty
nine pounds is emptied into a zinc
trough and nothing more than eight
quarts of water is added. The dough
is then worked until proper consis.
tency is acquired, when it is taken
from the trough and transferred 80 a
semIcircular platform upon which it
is kneaded for short time, after this
it is run through the kneading ma
chine and then transferred to large
rolling apparatus, where the dough is
pressed into the required thickness,
and marked in similar manner to
that in which common crackers are
perforated, and cut into cakes about
eight inches square. The cakes are
then transferred into a large oven,
where they are soon baked after
which they are taken out and packed,
ready for shipment to various parts of
the country. The cakes that may be
little burned while baking. or broken
after being taken from the oven, are run
through small hand mill and ground
into a kind of meal, which may be
used during the holidays in making
pastry. The use of no bread but that

so great that it brings nearly double
what it would If cured in any other


way. Seventh-All vegetables and


fruits can be saved in this way at any
season of the year, so that nothing
ever need be lost or thrown away on
the farm. We say now is the time for
the farmers to begin to make arrange
ments to save the enormous crop now
growing. If all the fruit growers and
farmers in the county will save all
they raise this year, we have never
seen money so plenty as it will be
here next Fall. The fruit crop will
bring double the money to the county
that our wool crop will bring. Let
companies be formed in each town
and neighborhood in the county, and
go into this work in earnest. Those
who are living out to themselves
should now procure family fruit
dryer and be ready to save their crops.
