The B. C. B. N. By. is constructing a
new line north and west from Worth
ingtoo, Minn., to the west line of the
state, which will be completed within
the year. The country through which
the line passes is the best in south-west
ern Minnesota, is practically all under
cultivation and thickly settled by well
to-do farmers who have been going fif
teen and twenty miles to market. Ar
rangements have been made to lay out
towns at the most advantageous loca
tions for business. These towns will
need stores and shops of all kinds and
merchants will find favorable openings
on this new line. Doctors and profes
sional men will also find good locations.
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to EatherWIle. Ia.
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin, and
investors will find splendid opportuni
ties at either of these points.
The railway company will, as they
have always done, join with the Dusiness
men of their towns to build up centers
of trade.

The aathor of the famous Mr. Doo
ley," Finley P. Dunne, has joined the
literary forces of The Ladles' Home
Journal, and will create this fall in that
magazine anew character, called Mol
ly Donahue who lives across the street
from Mr. Dooley." Her creator says
that Molly is a bright, pretty girl of
nineteen, who has ambitions for the
great world of woman's clubs, Brown
ing societies, golf clubs, woman's rights
organizations, and the "high-toned lite
rary and social life" which thrives on
the elite side of Chicago." Her moth
er and brother sympathize with her, but
her father, who works in the mill, is
hard to deal with in that he will insist
on sitting at table in his shirt sleeves
and in his stocking-feet. Mr. Dooley
is the family's most intimate friend and
is called upon frequently to run across
and set matters straight.
Black Hawk, aged 90 years, the most
noted of the chiefs of the Wisconsin
Winnebago Indians, whose death oc
curred recently in the town of Brock
way, had been well known in the west
ern part of Wisconsin for the last fifty
yean. He wsb always a friend of the
whites and on several occasions pre
vented the Winnebagos from taking
the warpath sgainBt the palefaces.
The aged warrior was the last of a
famous line of lighters. He was a
nephew of the original Black Hawk of
the wars of 1832 and fought in the bat
tle of Bad Az. When the Indian
forces were finally overthrown on the
shores of the big-Mississippi the young
Sac.warrior drifted northward- .nd soon
became a noted banter in the land of
the Winnebago.. His prowess and im
perious ways soon made him the abso
lute master of a large band of the tribe
over which he ruled for many years
with an iron hand. He was present at
the great council of the tribes which
assembled on the return of the original
Black Hawk. The young chief openly
accused his powerful uncle of cowardice
when he said that the white men were
as countless as the sands of the rivers.
Black Hawk leaves no heir. His only
son was killed three years ago in a
fierce encounter with Jim Swallow, a
stalwart brave of the Winnebagos.
Bryan's Patriotism.
William J. Bryan has just opened
the campaign in Nebraska at O'Neil
before 10,000 enthusiastic people and
has proved himself prepared for any
emergency.
His speech was full of patriotism and
attempts of republicans to confuBe him
utterly failed.
While "Mr. Bryan was speaking on
state issues, a republican in the au
dience yelled
"Why don't you go to Cuba?"
Quick as a flash, and sharp as a pistol
shot came the answer:
"I offered my services to a republican
president the day war was declared.
That offer was never accepted. I then
raised a regiment of my own. When
the treaty of peace was signed I resign
ed because I believed this country was
in more danger than Cuba, and I came
home to fight republicans.
"I had five months of peace in the
army and have had constant fighting
since I came out."
Silver, Mr. Bryan characterized as a
"corpse" that would show remarkable
vitality in 1900, and amid tumultuous
applause he declared he would never
stop his effort in behalf of independent
bimetallism until the fate of this nation
were taken out of the hands ot London
bankers and restored to the American
people.
Referring to the republican claim of
prosperity as a justification of the gold
standard, Mr. Bryan pointed out that
in six months succeeding Mr. McKin
ley's election more banks and business
houses failed than in the corresponding
period of the previous year.
"Things got so bad," he continued,
"that many people really thought I was
elected, (Laughter.) "According to
the ante-election predictions of repub
lican papers, who can doubt that for
six months I was president of the
United States."
The speaker then pointed out how a
wheat failure and the discovery of new
gold fields had decreased the supply of
grain and inoreased the volume of
money, and declared that any pros
perity that ensued from these causes
was a sufficient vindication of the free
silver theories.
William J. Bryan has proved his pa
triotism by his deeds. If he did not
fight the Spaniaids in Cuba, it was be
cause President McKinley feared to
give him the opportunity. He iB now
engaged in serving his country with
the highest patriotism, and the people
of the United States will reward him
with the presidency in 1800.—Chicago

DAIRY AND CREAMERY
When Olover Grow. Slowly.
Should clover make slow growth it
usually an indication that the soil lack,
potash or lime. An application of
ton of unleached wood ashes per acre
will be found serviceable, as asbes con
tain both line and potash. In procur
ing ashes, however, care must be exer
cised, as they vary in potash according
to the wood from which they are pro
duced, and there are many inferior
grades on the market, the leached ashes
being used to adulterate the unleached,
Timothy Grass and Olover.
Timothy and clover have been seeded
on the same land, as a rule, ever since
they became known, but as they do not
mature at thd name time it is a mistake
to grow them together if some other
grass can be substituted for the tim
othy to sow with the clover. Orchard
grass blossoms at the same time ac
clover, and, as it is a grass that seldom
fails, growB rapidly and is relished by
stock, it should receive more consider
ation than is given it. It grows in tus
socks, but that should be no objection,
as it yields well and is adopted to near
ly all soils.
Benefits ot Dairying.
Mr. It. G. Welford, in an address be
fore the Illinois Dairymen's association,
made the following observation upon
the beneficial effects of dairying on uy
community in which it exists. He said
"In my experience of 30 years in. Illi
nois, Wisconsin, Iowa and Missouri I
have noticed that wherever the dairy
cow iB there is prosperity, whether the
climate be good or bad. Dairying has
also greatly increased the sociability
and contact of farmers with one an
other, for they meet when they corns to
the creamery or factory. While* they
are waiting they discuss how to get and'
keep good cows. This has done won
ders for such farmers. It has also' call
ed out more intelligent farming, and
we find that the papers that cater to
their ideals are sought for and eagerly
read."
Oare of Oow Stables.
At least twice a year we like to thor
oughly overhaul the stable and all its
furniture, a general house cleaning as
it were, writes L. W. Lighty in The
National Stockman. We prefer rather
a windy day and open up all windows
and doors and completely sweep and
brush out all nooks and corners. Re
move everything that is movable. Clean
out manure, Btraw, hayseed etc, and
liush the gutters completely. Now
disinfect the stable thoroughly. Sulph
ate of copper or chloride of lime is what
we generally use, though some of the
commercial disinfectants are sometimes
preferable. Common whitewash or
quicklime is very good to use for some
parts of the stable. If there is any sus
picion that any disease is lurking in the
stable, such as abortion or any other
this disinfection should be particularly
thorough. Cloae the stable quite tight
and burn sulphur or, still better, gen
erate chlorine gas by pouring hydro
chloric acid on some chloride of lime.
This formB a deadly gas, and you want
to use it with caution, but it will do
thorough work. All the mangers or
troughs should be scoured with boiling
water. By this semiannual cleaning up
we have thus far escaped all the trou
bles that often cause serious loss to
many dairymen such as calf scours,
abortion, etc., and at the same time it
helps to produce the best and cleanest
milk from which to make first class
butter. w&mm

German Beet Sugar.
Some figures taken from a sugar-trade
journal and republished by the St. Louis
Republic show what an astonishingly
large quantity of sugar the German
beet farmers managed to raise on a
comparitively small quantity of land
during the crop year of 1897-1898. In
this crop year there were 1,080,256 acres
devoted to the cultivation of Bugar
beets. The beets worked amounted to
13,697,891 tons. In the official table the
average yield is set down 12.22 tons per
acre. Some deductions are evidently
made, for the average really figures out
12.68 tons per acre. Based on raw su
gar, the sugar production is given as
1, 814, 399 tons. This would make the
yield average 3,763 pounds to the acre.
These figures, if the prevailing conditions
of sugar making in the United States
could bo relied on as permanent, would
hold out a promise of profit to Ameri
can agriculturalists. According to
present information the sugar manu
factories in the Unithe States pay
$4 to 64,50 per ton for sugar beets.
Placing the beet yield.at 12.22 tons per
acre and estimating the prices accord
ing to the standard quoted, between $49
and $55 would be realized for the su
gar beets produced upon an acre of
land. This is more than four times as
much as the average value per acre for
wheat they raiBed in 1897* when they
had an unusually good demand and a
favorable acre obtained by Amerloan
ftrmen for th« mark.t

MANCHESTER, IOWA, WEDNESDAY, OCT. 4, 1899.
Porpol.e Oil.
Oils, animal, vegetable and mineral,
M* second in importance to bnt few do
mestic articles of commerce. Already
medicinally invaluable in the bygone
ages of hand labor, lubrioants have be
oome almoet a oondition of existence in
this century of maohinery, and of all
oils porpoise oil is the finest, the most
difficult to obtain, almost the most oost
ly. The difficulty, be it incidentally re
marked, lies not in expressing the oil
from the porpoise, bnt in catching the
porpoise itself. These cetaceans, like the
fish they prey on, are most uncertain in
their movements, at one time playing
by the week in our very harbors, at oth
ers staying a whole month far from the
ooast. An eoonomio and reliable method
of obtaining a regular supply of por
poiseB from out seas would be worth a
fortune.
At present their capture is no more
than accidental. Porpoisesareknown to
venture into salmon estuaries during
spring flood tides, returning to salt wa
ter with the ebb, and, as an improve
ment on the present casual supply sys
tem, strong rope nets might be oast at
the mouthB of these estuaries to inter
cept the invaders as they leave. Prob
ably, however, the ultimate solution
will be found in the rifle and some par
ticular oartridge,preferably fronted with
soft, hollow lead to flatten in the area
tare's ribs. It may be that even with a
fatal bullet the diffioulty is not ended,
for it has not yet been shown whether,
when fatally hit, the porpoise sinks or
floats.—Loudon Spectator.
W.hiter Cowed Them.
William Wetmore Story, the sculptor
and poet, was one of the few men who
presumed to call Lowell "Jim" to the
end, and Miss Mary E. Phillips, in her
"Beminisoences of William Wetmore
Story," tells, in Story's own words to
her, the following tale of the two young
men: "James Lowell and I were very
angry with Webster for staying in old
Tyler's cabinet, and as he was to speak
in Faneuii hall on the evening of the
80th of September, 1843, we determined
to go in (bom the Harvard Law school)
and hoot at him and show him that
be had incurred our displeasure. Then
were 8,000 people there, and we felt
rare that they would hoot with us,
young as we were.
"But we reckoned without our host
Mr. Webster, beautifully dressed, step
ped forward. His great eyes looked,
as I shall always think, straight at me.
I polled off my hat James pulled off
his. We both became as cold as ice and
a. respeotful as Indian coolies. I saw
James turn pale he said I was livid.
And when the great creature began that
most beautiful exordium, our scorn
turned to deepest adiniiation, from an
abjeot oontempt (o belief and approba
tion."
Rls Hair tn D.arer.
A young artist whose pipe, eyeglasses
and luxuriant blond hair have made
blip well known in town went to a
len party not so mnch for social
sement as
tat
Soon penoil Btudies lay all around
him on the grass. Suddenly he felt a
gentle tug at his baok hair. He thought,
"That is some fresh Aleo trying to guy
met" and he did not look up. The gen
tle tugging ceased, began again, became
much stronger, and then he felt some
thing wet, soft, slimy, on his neck. With
a dreadful oath he leaped from the fenoe
and looked behind him. Back there was
a smart trap, in whioh Bat two girls and
a young man laughing. The horses were
olose to the fence, and it was one of
these that had commenced browsing on
the artist's profuse locks. Explanations
followed and apologies. "Allflesh," the
artist said, "is grass, but not all hair."

S.m Extraordinary Mother..
Probably the youngest grandmother
of whom we have reoord was a Lady
Child of Shropshire, England. She had
married at 13 years of age and had a
ohild before her thirteenth year was
completed. This child in turn married
while still very young, with the result
that Lady Child was a grandmother at
37 The most extraordinary cases of
motherhood were those of Mrs. Honey
wood of Oharing, in Kent, and Lady
Temple of Stow. When the former died,
on May 10, 1630, aged 93, she counted
as her descendant? 16 ohildren, 114
grandchildren, 338 great-grandohildren
and 0 great-great-grandchildren. The
other case was even more remarkable.
Lady Temple, who died in 16S6, had
give birth to 4 sons and 9 daughters
and lived to see more than 700 descend
ants.
Taste of Boiled Water.
In advooating the praotice of boiling
water (and milk) of uncertain purity
Professor Bizzozero oombats the preju
dice against boiled water as a beverage.
He maintains that the "taste" fre
quently complained of in boiled water
is really caused by the kettle and oan
scarcely be due to the absence of dis
solved air, of which water from well,
of great depth often oontains very little.

06ntln*nou. st..X pipe.
The West Australian government has
taken a contiaot to lay nearly 850 miles
of water pipe of a novel oharaoter. This
pipe is to be made of steel, spirals pack
ed in ooiiarete. Sheet metal is out into
strips of the required width. These are
fed into a maohine and welded into one
continuous strip. As the strip is fed in
to the maohine rivet holes are punohed
then the edges of the laps are brought
together by maohinery and held during
the process of riveting, whioh is all
done by compression. The lap is thrown
on the outside of the pipe, rendering the
inner Burfaoe sooth and even throughout
its length. A tenacious hydraulio oe
ment is packed around the laps, making
the pipe absolutely water tight—New
