DISGIPLESOF CHRIST. he Followers of Alexander Campbell and Their Work in St. Paul. . (Jndaunted by Failure, the Faithful Few Make a Fresh Start. Ten Years of Hard Toil Leads to a Firm Founda tion. dne Hundred Energetic Chris tians Who Spread the Faith as They Go. A church, like a person, seems to stand in most perfect relation to the Infinite in youth. Helpless as a child before its parent it extends to society a hand that caresses while it clings for support; too weak to war, it attains its ends through love, and measuring each day its shadow grown longer in the sun, it has a conscious ness of progression that approaches nearer a sense of the universal than mortal life in completion ever can en joy. Among the most interesting of young churches in St. Paul is the church of Disciples of Christ, or Camp bellites. The present society of this name is the re-incarnation ol an earlier one, which was born in 1874 and de parted this life after a brave struggle lor existence, in 1879. The first man who preached the gospel of the Campbellites in St. Paul, was Jacob Creath Jr., an itinerant preacher who visited here in May, 1849. There was not a member of his faith in his con gregation, and the Pioneer disciple wrote of St. Paul, "I was not favorably impressed with the place or the people. The people had come there to worship Mammon, and I think they were devout worshippers." As the city grew, however, representa tives of every denomination increased, among them those of the Christian church. In 1874 there was a sufficient number that meetings were held regu larly in private houses. The little band, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Ar buckle, Mr. and Mrs. AY. A. Faddis, A. M. Haggard, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin Stewart and family, were visted by the state evangelist who encouraged them to effect a perma nent organization, which was done March 21, 1875. The old Unitarian chapel on Temperance street was hired as A PLACE OF WORSHIP, and here tne following charter members and officers of the church assembled: W. A. Faddis. elder; S. C. Arbuckle and Edwin Stewart, deacons; Mrs. Laura' A. Faddis Mrs. Deborah E. Arbuckle, Sarah A. Arbuckle, Mrs. Harriet C. Stewart. Miss Annie Wraith, John and Hargrave Wraith, Arthur 11. AVilcox, Hannah Biggs, Miss Ballard, A. M. Haggard, C. L. Haggard, C. 11. Pierce and M. D. Alexander. During the time tnat the congregation met in the old chapel, one Sunday morning a man ot good appearance and fine address presented himself by letter to the church, who, was none other than Dr. Tanner, who was afterwards to become famous as the man of a forty-days' fast. The experi ence of the Christian church here, the first time it was on earth, was that of a willing spirit weak in the flesh. It moved from the Unitarian chapel to the Gospel Temperance club rooms, and from there to the old Y. M. C. A. rooms, and finally, through want of funds, was reduced to its primal necessity of hold ing service in private houses*. It con tinued to draw its fast-fleeting breath in this manner for about a year, and at last GAVE IIP THE GHOST in '79. But tne spirit lived, though the body died. Three years later, J. C. Hay, from Minneapolis, began holding afternoon services in the Swedenborgian church, then what is now the colored Catholic church on Market street, and not long after the Campbellites were . reorganized by Leander Lane, who assumed charge of the new con gregation of twenty-six members, viz. ; A. L. AA inship and wife, Mrs. Theresa Hoxsie, S. C. Arbuckle and wife, C. D. Pierce and wife, AY. A. Faddis and wife, J. AA r . Donaldson, Virginia Lane, F. A. Steele and wife, Mrs. M. C. Fawk ner, Mrs. Harriet Pierce, C. L. Green ough, G. S. Fawkner, Frank Beckley, Mrs. T. W. Teesdale. C. C. Salisbury, AY. I. Faddis, Dr. Clara E. Atkinson, Mrs. C. A. Donaldson, Metta Pierce, Jennie Florence. Services were held in the Y. M. C. A. rooms for two or three years until, the need of a permanent abode being strongly felt, the church decided to dispense with a minister in order to save money to build or buy a home. This, however, proved but poor econ omy that threatened disaster, and ap plication was made to the General Missionary Society of the Christian Church for pecuniary assistance. Aid was promptly granted which enabled the society in St. Paul to purchase a small frame structure, occupied by the French Catholic school at the rear of the capitol and to move it on the lot where it now stands on Carroll street, just below Louis. The amount re ceived from the General Missionary so ciety did not nearly cover the EXPENSE OF Tills ENTEHPHISE, and the church had not a cent in its treasury. But owing to the indefatiga ble efforts of the members, chiefly the women, it is now wholly out of debt. The pastor, <". L. Brookhall. sent by the general missionary society of the church, was a marvel of executive abil ity, and to him a large measure of suc cess is due, though no more than to Dr. Clara Atkinson. Such an important part did Dr. Atkinson play in the up building of the present Christian church. - it is frequently spoken of as Dr. Atkinson's church— not improp erly so in any sense, either, since Christian and Dr. Atkinson are synony mous. She was ever ready to encourage with her faculty for presenting the brightest side, with her purse aiuUwith the labor of her head and hands. When the church on Carroll street was to be dedicated, the kalsominers left it Friday night and the carpet-layers insisted that it would require all of Saturday to put down the carpets. No one saw a possibility of getting the rubbish cleared out aud the floor scrubbed in the time that would inter vene between 0 o'clock Friday night and 7 o'clock Saturday morning. But Dr. Atkinson quietly deposited hose, broom, mop, kettles, lamps and step ladder in her buggy, whipped off to the church, and with the aid of her servant and Mrs. H. M. Woodward, an other good soul who is not too careful of her Christianity to work it hard, the church was cleared and scrubbed by 11 o'clock Friday night, ready for the carpet to be laid next morning. Though Rev. Brookhall possessed exceptional executive ability which he exercised faithfully to the good of the church, Dr. Atkinson was none the less "the POWEB BEHIND THE THRONE." It was a regularly established custom lor her to meet him in his study each Monday morning to plan for the work of the coming week. Her efforts even extended to transporting the congrega tion, and it ; was long her practice to send her horse and bugtry Sunday mom-, ings to carry persons enfeebled with age or ill health back and forth from their homes to the church. Mrs. Theresa Hoxie and Mrs. E. Crump are also inseparably connected with the rapid growth of the Christian church. These dear old ladies, both over seventy years of age, sewed enough carpet-rags to almost carpet the entire town, and sold their products tor the benefit of the church. "I declare you might say this church was made of carpet-rags," said one lady last Sunday, recalling the tireless efforts of the two old ladies. They would meet in the attic of A. L. Winship, and sew, sew, sew, while their brains and tongues were busy scheming and talk**-, ing for the advancement of the church. Mrs. Jebb, nee Salisbury, is another earnest worker of the church among the women. Mrs. Grote, though not a mem ber of the church, is actively concerned in its welfare, and is constantly stepping in to : lend a hand where other hands fail. In the congreation of the St. Paul church is a a cousin of Alexander Campbell, the founder of the Christian church, James Campbell, whose spirituelle face is rapt in an expression of religious ecstacy. At present the congregation numbers something over a hundred members. In addition to those already named, are E. Freemont Pierce, Charles ,W. Schneider and wife, Everitt Pierce, H. B. Loughren and wife, Mrs. Ethel Cresson, Mrs. F. E. Moncreif, Cornelius Tippler and wife, Mrs. Merritt, J. O. Morrison, Mrs. J. L. Messner, Mrs. C. B. Teeple, Misses Kitty and Pearl Tee pie, Mrs. Cleveland, Miss Grace Cleve land. Miss Stella Hewes. Mrs. Berusha E. Ingersoll, Mrs. Clara White, Mrs. C. J. Starkey, A. 11. Stem and wife.

Foster Respected for His Intellect and Loved for His Per sonality. The present pastor of the Christian church, W. A. Foster, assumed charge of the congregation Jan. 1, ISSB. The spiritual structure of a church not in frequently has to be readjusted to meet the requirements of. a new pastor, but it is not often . that he demnads the tearing down and building over of the temporal structure. This, how ever, Mr. Foster's height exacted on his entrance into his charge in St. Paul. The pulpit was built high, and the ceil ing of the church rather low, and as he measures over six feet in stature, the platform on which he was to stand had to be lowered before lie could hold up his head and speak the truth before his peo ple. Mr.Foster is a comparatively young man, of brilliant intellectual" attain ments. He confesses with nride to be ing a born Hoosier, North Vernon. Ind., being distinguished as his birthplace. He graduated from Hanover college, a Presbyterian institution, carrying" off the first honors of his class in 1878, and after graduating, read law with Maj. Gordon, of Indianapolis, where later he opened an office and became prosecuting attorney of the Forty-fourth judicial circuit of Indiana. He drifted into the ministry gradually, following the common practice of the Campbellite church and preaching frequently before he was ordained. In 18S4 he closed his law office, was ordained and took charge of a pastorate in Brookvillc, lud., where he remained until coming to St. Paul iv 1888. Mr. Foster is an energetic worker and a magnetic speaker, and is justly popular among his flock, who respect his intel lect and love his personality. AUXILIARY ORGANIZATIONS. Ladies' Aid Society," Ladies' Mis sionary Society, Society of Chris tian Endeavor and Sunday School. Auxiliary to the church organization are various societies, prominent among which is the ladies' aid society. This body numbers twenty-two members, who are regulated by the following officers: Mrs. C. E. Dickerman, presi dent; Mrs. AA. E. Smith, vice presi dent; Mrs. James F. Bard, secretary; Mrs. C. B. Teeple, treasurer; Mrs. Hoyt, superintendent of work. The society meets every Fri day afternoon either at their church, or at Mrs. Grote's residence on Summit avenue. The amount of work done by the ladies of this institution is phe nomenal. They fill any order for sewing, and with proceeds of this industry and by means of a fair held at Mrs. Grote's last winter, they have con tributed largely to the support of the church, furnishing the church entirely. The Ladies' Missionary society has a membership of twenty-two, with the following officers: President, Mrs. Rhoda Pierce ; vice president. Mrs. I.T. Ingersoll; secretary, Mrs. J. F. Bard ; treasurer, Mrs. A\\ E. Smith. The young people of the church are not without their societies. Miss Kate Teeple is president of the Society of Christian Endeavor that meets each Sunday evening in the church. A children's band, numbering twenty-five, is presided over by Mrs. A. H. Stein and Mrs. J. F. Bard." The first Sunday school of the Chris tian church was organized in May, 1870, with twenty-four persons, and officers as follows: Superintendent, Thomas D. Butler: assistant, Mrs. D. E. Ar buckle; secretary, AA r . I. Faddis: treas urer, Miss Jennie Cavender. The growth of the Sunday school has been in proportion to the growth, of the church. It now numbers seventy-live members. AY. A. Foster acts as super intendent, and the' teachers are J. A. Campbell, J. F. Bard. Mrs. A. H. Stem, Dr. Clara E. Atkinson, Mrs. Teeple, Miss Henes and Mrs. J. F. Bard. SERVICES YESTERDAY. Genuine Brothers and Sisters in Christ. The seating capacity of the small church on Carroll street was tested ., to the full yesterday morning. The sun was shining brightly outside, and no dry dust of a cheerless creed cast a shadow within. The sympathy of man with j man, and of both with his pastor, at the j Christian church, is evident, and the at -oneness with the spirit of God is apparent to even the occasional visitor. Mr. Foster preached a forciable sermon on the pre eminence of principle over sentiment, pointing the proiieness of the individ ual to demand truth to princi ple in his neighbor and be content with sentiment in himself. At the con clusion of the sermon, as is the usual custom, sacrament was administered, the ceremony ves.erday being . ren dered by Elder AY. E. Rogers and Dea cons AY. E. Smith and A. J. Ritchie. Congregational singing is the practice of the church, led by a volunteer choir, with A. L. Winship as organist. Yes terday the choir was composed of Mrs. 1. T. Ingersoll,' Miss Flora . Pierce, Miss Carrie Smith, C. C. Salis bury and Mr. Xanteii. The invitation to the Lord's supper was par ticularly well sung. It is safe to say that in no other church in town is the stranger, within the gates made to feel more . welcome -than, ! in . ■-*. the Christian church. ..The I spirit of good, fellowship that is silent and instinctively, apprehended' during services, the instant the amen of the benediction is pronounced, makes* itself . manifest in a warm general greeting. The pastor, stations himself at the door where he has a pleasant word and a hearty hand clasp for each one as he passes out, and the interchange of cordialities, among the members of the congregation makes them seem pre-eminently among church] congregations, *-_.<____ and sisleis in Christ." THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: MONDAY MOBNING. MARCH 25, 1880. TERRE HAUTE MADSTONE .7 Applied to the Leg of a Girl Bitten by a Dog. Tebue Haute, Ind., March 24.— What is known as the Terre Haute madstone was to-day applied to the leg :of the eleven-year-old daughter of John Kirk, of Rush county, who was bitten two weeks ago by a pup which afterward died with all the symptoms of hydrophobia. The stone, after the lapse of * eleven hours, still adhered. The dog bit two sisters of this. child, and either scratched or bit a four-year-old brother. The mad stone was applied to the boy, but would not adhere, and this confirms the im pression that his injury, is from a scratch. The wounds of the three girls are not deep, but blood was drawn. The madstone is thor oughly saturated, ... and the cloth about it is ■ soaked with poisonous-, looking matter. The longest time the stone ever adhered before this applica tion was to rteen hours, and that was many years ago. The stone has authen tic record ot more than eighty years, and no death has ever resulted if it once adhered. AY hen it drops off the child to whom it is now applied, it will be tried on one of the sisters. __n ■ DISSATISFIED MINERS. Trying to Come to Terms With Their Employers. Indianapolis, Ind., March 24.— 0n the Ist of May the existing scale for coal mining in the Brazil district will expire. It is now 75 cents for bitumin ous and 90 cents for block. Day laborers * are paid at the rate of two and a half tons for a day's work. The operators bolted the convention at Columbus a few days ago because their demand for a 12 per cent reduction was not granted. They claim they can get coal mined at the reduction. To this .end they are thoroughly organized and a unit.' The miners held a massuieeting last night at Brazil. Work has been very slack in the mines for several months, and many of the miners have suffered. A committee was appointed to wait on the operators and miners in the interest of the scale. The operators propose a reduction of 20 cents. The miners did not express to themselves on this point, but a strike may result, though it is believed it will be fruitless. A few days since 150 miners employed in a mine near Knightsville accepted a reduction of 10 per cent. -^ THE FARMER AND MILLER Should Dance Together About the Pit Where They Bury Their Mu tual Troubles. Special Letter to the Globe. Fountain, Minn., Marcli I.— A few years ago, when the grange was begin ning to make a noise in this world, and its vibrations had reached the east side of the Hudson river, near Albany, a rela tive who was running a great flouring mill in that section concluded to "view the landscape o'er" and visit relatives once more. With wife and daughter he leisurely traversed Ohio, Michigan, In diana, AAlsconsiu and lowa. The wheat crop he pronounced spldndid and very promising, but thought it would be low in price, as the whole country seemed one vast field of wheat. "And the Grangers; what of that combination of the farmers?" "One great monopoly fighting another great monopoly; and now tell me which side will win? "The proprietors of the great flouring mills of this state and every farmer in the state should . be the very best of friends. It is for their own mutual interest to be so. And surely the farmers that look at the prices out of the state, and then at market prices in Minneapolis and St. Paul, can see where their market is at once. "Which .side will win?" has always been the one question all the years since 1 was asked to tell.and the years since then have only brought this home to me. The farmer and the merchant millers should be the very best of friends, aud more so when the product is shipped away to a foreign market from first hands. Perhaps lam far away from tiie way of the world, but 1 can see but few obstacles in the road between the farm and the mill. During the many years this warfare has been going on between producer and consumer, the middlemen seem to be in the way. The idea expressed by Mr. Ingram at the Sleepy Eye meeting is about the right one on the subject, and, I may say, "he struck" - the right side of the trail and could have gone farther without getting lost iv the woods. The oue single idea is to first get the merchant miller by the button hole and then hold him until you get him to see your side of the question, and you look on his side aud see if you both cannot agree to save to each other the money that the middlemen take from the pockets of each one ; but the greater share conies out of the farmers' pockets usually. Having closely watched the various markets at prominent points in this country, and the foreign markets, it seems to me the merchant miller is the very one the farmers should deal directly with in the "wheat deal," There are* many good reasons why this should be so. and no good reason why Minnesota farmers should not get the 20r3 or more cents higher rate paid by Minnesota millers than Eastern purchasers offer in their markets. This used to be a mystery to me, but I have learned that they shipped direct, and there is no middle men to eat up their profits; and why the farmers of the state have never tried to keep their wheat at home, and get the advance offered by home millers, is a puzzle I cannot solve. Perhaps it is be cause lam a woman, and women are not supposed to know much any way about business affairs. Will some one explain it? And will some one of the knowing ones tell why the miller and the farmer cannot sail in the same boat and take counsel together about asking the officials of the railroad companies to take a sail with them upon the "sea" of discussing the problem of all joining hands in a dance around the pit where they bury all their troubles; about the grain monopoly, or the robbing of the farmer by grain dealers. These three parties together ought to be able to settle the whole difficulties that af flict the farming community except the taxes. Ah ! well, taxes must be paid, and I have paid them and complained of overtaxation ; had them levied at a lower rate, then, and, as for that mat ter, felt thankful that I had a home to pay taxes on; but there was one thing that was never paid by any of the mem bers of my household— not a farthing of interest money, or anything ever draw ing interest ever was executed by one of them. Taxes are low in comparison with some states, and I hear that the farm ers—in fact, the taxes in this township now due have all been paid with the exception of about, or a little more than $70. The farmers have been unusually early in paying threshing bills the past season, I've been told. Is not that a good showing? Mns. Map.tua Ci.andai_,. KILLING HORSES. . An Experience Related by the Western Rural Not Confined to Illinois. One of our contemporaries is poking fun at the Illinois veterinarians because they condemned and killed nine horses that upon post mortem examination were found to be sound. The veterinarians do not get things very straight at times, but they are remarkably level-headed when they condemn to death a lot of horses that have been running with and have been stabled with a number of horses that have had the disease in the worst form ; and that was what was the mat ter with these horses. The ■'■'-' only reason that the veterinarians did not condemn - and kill more was because the man did not . own any more. He was cleaned out of horses, Just as he should have -been, and re _-tr__:ed and moved into another stable. MINNEAPOLIS.

The dealers in wheels say that there are from five huudred to eight hundred wheelmen in the Flour city, and that this year they expect to double the number, as the spring is opening so early and the roads are already in such fine condition. On Nicollet and Henne pin avenues the wheelmen are numer ous every .day now. and among them are many who are business men of the city. The machines are now growing to he looked upon as a part of the street's hurrying throng of motion, and no longer looked upon as mysterious steeds. For years the large wheel of the ma chine held the lean; then the little wheel assumed the leadership and wiggled along in front with the gieatest self-es teem and the assurance of the rider that he is not going to take a fall. Last year the two wheels struck a promise and evened things up, and now the wheelmen seem to apprehend that the newcomer will supersede to a great ex tent both of the older forms. The old riders, who have learned on the old style, cling to it with a tenacity that will never give way to any innovations, and they look with scorn on the riders who place a prop in front to prevent a tumble and go whirling along doubled over the handle in a position that must of necessity be ungraceful. But a ma jority of the beginners seem to prefer safety with_awkwardness.or with a lower seat, to -.race on so high a perch. . *•*•_»- THE CLEARANCES.

' There is sense in what the Prairie Farmer . says ■ about cows and calves : . Always -7 speak ' to a cow . before you begin to milk her. Don't take it for granted : that she knows you..* are going to _ grasp- her teats; she may have her head in the; manger, and when you suddenly catch hold of the teats she may jump or kick; j then; you may yell at her, or perhaps strike her. That is the way to begin the spoiling of a good cow. The . best cows are nervous : animals, -and -it pays to ■be always on the watch, so that their 7; nervousness will not he excited. Keep the cows quiet . and contented ; it is the only way to get the aest profit out of them. Calves should be made tame from the : start; they .should show no more signs of fear of you than your pet dog does. It pays to loaf around among the calves, - and it pays well, too, as you will find when the calf becomes a cow and you : attempt to miik her. Your cows and calves, in fact all your . * stock,: ! should look upon you as their best friend. Get them* to feel that way - towards you, and you have made a very important step towards success. The man who looks on his cows as mere' machines to turn feed into milk, and •.has no further thought about them, ■ does not. you may depend upon it. get all out of their ownership that he ought to. . - * "7::;*>; v*-;'^--*. 7_; .■:. •.*•«»■ THE OLEOMARGARINE LAW. Reasons Suggested by a Writer in the Indiana Farmer for Lack of Efficiency. The United States oleomargarine statute has been a failure in one partic ular—that it does not reach and restrain the retailer of oleomargarine. Its op erations are much as those of a statute for suppressing • counterfeit of the cur rency would be, if it only punished the maker of bogus money and let the "shover of the queer" go scot-free. One reason for this has been the lack of funds. The law demands that. every re tail package shall be of wood or paper not containing over ten pounds of oleo margarine, and that it shall be duly let tered or labeled, as the commissioner of internal revenue may direct. He has decided that every package must have branded or printed on it the word •'oleomargarine," in letters not less than a quarter of an inch square. But little or no attention is paid . to the commissioner's de cision by the retailers of the bogus stuff, and the statute goes unen forced, for the reason that sufficient funds were not appropriated for this purpose to enable the commissioner to employ the requisite force to execute the law. Not only detectives and law yers are needed, but chemists and mi croscopists are required to aid these offi cials. Yet the revenue resulting from the oleomargarine tax amounts to over three-quarters of a million dollars annually— a sum more than sufficient for all practical purposes, were it made available for the executiou of the stat ute. But the commissioner is restricted to the small and insufficient amount ap propriated for that purpose, in the face ok an overflowing treasury and an avowed desire to reduce the national in come. ;; ■■■"," -- 7 Every dairyman should write to his congressman and United States senator at once, to see that sufficient money is appropriated for efficient enforcement of the oleomargarine statute. The New York mercantile exchange, at the sug gestion of Assistant Slate Dairy Com missioner Van Yalkenburgh. has al ready taken action ou the subject, and should be followed by every organiza tion in the country that has an interest in the dairy,and in honesty and fair play lin trade. It "earnestly requests con gress to appropriate a liberal and suffi cient amount to enforce the regulations made by the internal revenue depart ment as required by the oleomargarine .law, and in accordance with the intents .and purposes of the same." This is but ,a reasonable demand which ought not •to have been necessitated by the neglect jo'f congress. To enact a law and then .not provide for its. execution is an insult to justice and common .sense, and to every individual whom the law was designed S. to .benefit Let congress do its full duty, in the prem ises and the several'".' 'states second the .national statute by such legislation as pnly the state can make for the supres 'sion of the sale of the stuff, and it will not be long before it will disappear from the counters of retailers, or stand •there with the brand of sham in plain sight. Then if people want to buy it in preference to genuine butter, it will he their privilege, and no one will have the right to complain. . . T. D. C. SWING THE CRADLE Is the Suggestion of the Agricult urist of the Dcs Moines Register. There has always been a considerable senseless blow about harvesters, reapers and binders, cheapening the farmers' harvest.. It may make it easier, but instead of cheaper, it is dearer. The old-fashioned day's work of cutting grain by hand with a cradle, and an other man raking : and binding after, was three acres per day, but experts and others making long days, cut and bound five acres per day. Paying harvest hands at the rate of ?2 per day. the cost would be 66 cents per acre for either cutting or binding. The price and quantity of twine or wire to bind an acre at 25 cents per pound would be on an average at least twothirds of the cost of binding by hand. The other third would not pay for the work to be done with a binder. Whenever labor comes back to the price harvest hands received fifty years ago, when there were no reapers and binders, fifty cents per day, reapers, binders, as well as wire and twine, will be at an end. We insist, and always have con tended, that it does not pay a farmer who raises from twenty to forty acres of small grain to own or use a reaper. It is cheaper, more independent, and a little more industrious to cut the har vest by hand. This may be looked upon as old fogy, but when we have the same sickle hanging overhead as we write, which we learned, to cut grain with sixty-nine years ago, and having practiced that style of harvesting for thirty years, and then used* various styles of reapers, rakes and binders for twenty-five years in lowa harvest fields, we do know that the cheapest yet is the old-fashioned hand cradle, it having been a decided improvement over the sickle, the sym bol for 5,000 years of man's servitude. For ease and speed the binder is supe rior, but for cheapness and indepen : dence of trusts and monopolists, give us the cradle. There is yet glory in its swing. - ■-':• ■__. '--*•-'■-■. _> ;ai WHY THEY ARE LOW. * -0-" - ' Hogs and Cattle Are in Excess of • the Demand, Says the Orange . Judd : Farmer. ; \ There' are too many of them for the 'present demands, just as we warned our readers three or four years ago that there would be, if everybody rushed into live stock raising because prices were high then. Only think : of it! Week before last Chicago alone ! received 150,272 hogs! — enough to fill a railway freight train nearly twenty ; miles long— . only 56,144 were shipped away, leaving 94,12S of them to be slaughtered here, or 15,683 . for each day, 1,569 each hour, 26 each minute, or one to every four : beats *of the human pulse! These 150,272 hogs were all bought and paid for in cash. " The wonder is that prices did not sink more than 10 to 15 cents per 100 pounds. Last week the receipts, dropped to 102,477 and prices went up more than they had fallen.. With hogs, .as with cattle,' : there is an extra supply: but there are too many competing buyers to allow of any "trust" or "combine," - and - the law of supply and demand rules prices. * Many will now go out of stock raising, the supply will be diminished, and up prices will •go again, to th ; benefit of : those who are wise enough- to stick to the business through thick and thin. ■•_■■» A poultry man states this as a curious ; scientific fact: '-*-- "1 do 7 not know . if the - fact has been before noted, that if you go out to feed ■ a flock of chickens '■■ and will cause them to wait, they will in variably, as they crowd about you, begin a circuit around you from right to left, in front, and continue ■-: this revolu tion as ' long as * you stand there; or, as I : you look down upon them -they circle contrary to the direction of watch hands, as you would look down upon the open r face of a watch. No amount of inter ruption or maneuvering can confuse them or compel them to take the con trary direction at any time. I have re- : sorted to all kinds of expedients to break up this order without avail. If they have room and are free to move they will move, as the electric currents do. around a magnetic north pole.-". SEE THIS!

To be freed from the dangers of suffocation while lying down; to breathe reel}-, sleep soundly and undisturbed; to rise refreshed, head clear, brain active aud free trom pain or ache; to know that no poisonous, putrid matter defiles the breath and rots away the delicate machinery of smell, taste and hear ing: to feel that the system does not, through its veins and arteries, suck up the poison that is sure to undermine and destroy, is in deed a blessing beyond all other human en joyments. To purchase immunity from such a fate would be the object of all afflicted. But those who have tried many remedies and physicians despair of relief or cure. Sanfoud's Radical Cuke meets every phase of Catarrh, from a simple head cold to the most loathsome and destructive stages. It is local and constitutional. Instant in re lieving, permanent in curing, safe, econom ical and never-failing. Sanford's Radical Cure consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box of Ca tarrhal Solvent and one Improved In haler, all wrapped in one package, with treatise and directions, and sold by all drug gists for $1.00.
