Free rom Ammonia, Alum or any cther adulterant, | 40 YEARS THE STANDARD. To Burn Charcoal for Hogs. Prof. W. F. Massey in Practical Farmer gives the following plan of burning a small kiln of charcoal to feed hogs: Begin by laying two stout logs paral- lel to each other, each about four feet long. Lay the cordwood sticks across these so as to make a sort of grate to start the fire on. From one side of this grate lay large sticks parallel to each other and about a foot apart, to make the main draft hole, and cover with short pieces of wood. This draft must extend to the outside of the pile. Now set the wood on end, beginning on the middle of the grate first made and lean- ing together at the top, so as to form a sort of chimney, and then continue to pile the wod on end around these, so as ake a rounded conical pile a as you want. Now cover the whole with sods, except the draft opening, and some smaller openings around the sides of the base, leaving the chimney open. Now, by stufling straw and in- flammable matter down the chimney and dropping coals on it, you can start it to burning. Keep the sides well covered with earth, and watch it day and night. So long as smoke comes thick and white it is burning all right, but if it gets clear and blue, the wood is burning too fast, and some of the draft holes must be stopped, and some ashes thrown down in the chimney. When the combustion is complete, cover the whole tightly with earth, and let it stand for a. day or so. Then pull it to pieces and wet the hot mass to prevent it taking fire again. Overwhelming Arguments. Two well-dressed boys had come out on the street to play horse. They haa a gay little harness, hung with bells that tinkled softly. There was a dis- pute as to which one should drive. One of the boys was less strong than the other, but he won his point by di- plomacy. “You must be the horse, Tom,” he said, “because we are going to play truck-horse, and ycu are very strong. I must be the driver, because your father is a minister, and you can’t swear.” The minister's son put on the har- ness.—Strand Magazine. In the Good Old Times.

Butte, Mont., Aug. 19.—The St. Law- rence mine was the scene of another fatal accident last evening by which three, and probably more, men lost their lives. The accident occurred just before the men quit work, about 5:30 o'clock. Foreman Peter Ryan came up from the 600-foot level to the surface. It was his custom to come up a few minutes before the miners. He had just reached the surface and was about to step off the cage when it dropped down the shaft with the velocity of lightning, carrying him with it. An instant later the big hoisting engine went to pieces, the brake reel and oth- er portions of it going through the roof and landing on the hillside, a hundred feet from the engine room. Jim Murphy was the engineer on duty at the time, and Tim Warren, the brakeman. Warren says after Ryan had been hoisted to the surface he put on the brake, at the same time un- clutching that side of the engine. The brake, for some _ reason, refused to work, and before he could think a second time, he was horrified to see the east reel traveling at a terrific speed. A few seconds later it had at- tained such momentum that it flew-to pieces. In the shaft below were four of the sinking crew, two of whom were working in the cast shaft. The last station is cut at the 1,200-foot ‘level, and the men were about thirty feet be- low the station. They were John Man- ning and John mpbell. At the 1,200- foot level there is a stout bulkhead, but it is believed that it would y to the weight of the cage falling a distance of 1,200 feet, and in all prob- ability the two men who were at work underneath were killed. The shaft, from the 1,200-foot level down to the bottom, is covered with debris and broken timbers, which will have to be cleared away before the bodies can be reached. The shaft house presented a dilapidated appearance after the acci- dent. The engine had made big holes in the sides and roof of the building, and it seems*miraculous that nobody was hurt on the surface. Immediately after the accident the west side of the engine was fitted up and a crew of miners began the descent of the shaft. They were unable to go very far at a time, being compelled to stop every few feet to clear out some obstruction. The east reel has gone down the shaft, adding to the general destruction.

Washington, Aug. 20.—The Ponulist national committee remained in ses- sion all the afterncon. Chairman Jones, of the Democratic national com- mittee, and Chairman Faulkner, of the congressional committee, conferred about the general work of the cam- paign. Although there was a question as to the power of the executive com- mittee of the Papulist party te take any steps in regard to straightcning out the complications resulting from the nomination of Watson and the re- jection of Sewall ‘a power which was conferred by resolution on the nation- al committee), this formed the subject of much discussion at the session. “What action did the committee take with regard to the withdrawal of Bryan or Watson from the Populist ticket?” was asked of Senator Butler, the chairman of the convention, after the conclusion of the session. “The People’s party ticket as named at St. Louis,” replied Senator Butler, “is Bryan and Watson, and that will be the People’s party ticket until the polls close in November. Mr. Bryan is as much our candidate as Mr. Watson, and as far as this committee has the power it will strive just as hard to elect one as the other, and will leave nothing in its power undone to help either or both, but it will not help one candidate at the expense of the other.” Mr. Washburne of Massachusetts, member of the committee, who was standing by when this announcement was made, said that the statement was the unanimous expression of the com- mittee. As soon as the Democratic managers heard of this announcement Chairman Jones had ancther interview with Senator Butler, but both declined to state its import. At Democratic headquarters, however, the announce- ment was received as the natural ex- pression of the chairman of the Popu- rty. They point out that fusion has already taken place in the West- ern states, but will not prevent them from directing all their efforts toward fusion in the South. It is explained in view of Chairman Butler’s statement that if both vice presidential candi- dates remain in the field when it comes to the electoral college if Bryan has a majority he will be elected, and then if neither vice-presidential candidate has a majority the election will go to the senate, which must choose be- tween the two. The committee held another long meeting to-day at which it was decided to locate the Populist headquarters in this city. Senator Butler and Secretary Edgerton will be in charge. A FRIGHTFUL FALL. Datal Accideent at the St. Aawrence Mine at Butte. Washington, Aug. 20.—The cable re- port from London that Lord Salisbury has yielded to Secretary Olney on the al point of the Venczuelan nego- tiations, that of including the settled portions of the disputed tract in the proposed arbitration, is regarded as an important development by those inter- ested in the subject. ‘This inclusion of | the “settled districts” has been the | chief obstacle in the way of arbitra- tion, so that if the report ef its removal is confirmed, the two governments ap- pear to be nearer to an amicable agree- ment than at any time since the trouble began. Lord lisbury from the first has been insisting that this settled district was sovereign British soil, which could not be subjected to the judgment of arbitrators. Secretary Olney has urged that the omission of this settled portion from arbitration would defeat the whole scope of the arbitration, as the unset- tled or worthless sections were not what Venezuela contended for. The latest view of this phase was present- ed in a brief by Mr. Storrow, a lawyer of Boston, of whos ability Mr. Olney has a high opinion. The Storrow brief was laid before the Venezuelan com- mission as a part of the Venezuela { case, but ‘aside from this it is known that its line of argument v similar to that takea by the secretary of state. Mr. Storrow pointed out that the set- tled district was, in fact, but little set- tled; that the number of British colo- nists there was comparatively insig- nificant; that their “improveme its” on which Lord Salisbury had d much stress, were of the most 1 r and that ing Bri the whole sh settle- primitive kind, and Ss, improvements, ete, ! would k comparatively si sum. | From this the conclusion was dr: that these so-catled settled ¢ should not stand in the way of the ud- justment of so large a question.

Marshall, Minn,, Aug. 19. — At the village of Minneota Carl Ramberg was shot and instantly killed and Detler Jager and Michuel Bunce were wounded, all by Walter H. Glass, a stranger. Glass and his wife were traveling through the country in a covered wagon, having come from Ne- braska City, and stoyiped for the night in the edge of the village. During the early evening some young fellows, evi- dently mistaking the character of the occupants, had visited the wagon and, it is alleged, insulted the woman dur- ing her husband’s absence up town. Later the wagon was again visited and the occupants annoyed. After two or three warnings Glass poked the muzzle of an old army musket out of the wag- on and fired. Ramberg was shot in the back with sixty-eight shots, which pen- etrated his lungs end heart. Jager re- ceived seventeen shots in the back and Bunce one in the side. Neither were seriously injured. Iverson, a fourth man, was not hit. Glass immediately went up town and gave himself up to the marshal, who was the stepfather of Ramberg. Later in the night Glass was brought here to the county jail. He appeared to feel very badly about the affair and said he only intended to give the young men a good scare. The senti- ment of the Minneota people appears to be generally with Glass, though Ramberg, who was a young fellow of about eighteen or nineteen, was well thought of. MINNESOTA HIGH SCHOOLS. State Aid Allowed to a Number of Schools, St. Paul, Aug. 19.—The state high school board to-day replaced on the list for a term of three years the fol- lowing high schools, whose terms had expired: Anoka, Austin, Crookston, Hastings, Hutchinson, Mankato, Northfield, Red Wing, St. Peter, Sauk Center, Spring Valley, Worthington, all of the first-class; Blue Earth City, Can- non Falls, Chatfield, Farmington, Jack- son, Le Sueur, Madelia, New Ulm, Plainview, Rushford, Wells and Will- mar, all of the second class; Benson, Cloquet, Dawson, Janesville, Le Roy, Mantorville, Mapleton, Ortonville, Pipestone, St. James and Tracy, all of the third class.

Montrose, Minn., Aug. 19. — An old woman, living alone, by the name of Hayes, commonly known in this vi- cinity as Black Norah, was found a few yards back of her house last night with her skull broken in. She was last seen about a month ago, and it is thought the body had lain there nearly that long, as it was in the last stage of decomposition. She is report- ed to have had considerable money in her house. An inquest will be held. Next to Col. Stevens.
