God. John C. Blaok commiaioner of pensions under Cleveland, was elected commander-in-chief of the G. A. R , at the national encampment at San Francisco this week. John K. Brown, who was last week found to be $75,000 short in his accounts as cashier of a bank at Holland, Ohio, resided several years ago, with his parents, at Kentland. Admitting strong antipathy to the colored race Editor Bowser of the Chesterton Tribune urges organized opposition to the settlement of negroes in Porter county and northwestern Indiana. He says the proposed location of southern blacks in this section means that fear would enter the home of every farmer and property t a’ties would go down and lynching would follow. He calls upon the citizens to boldly face Ihe danger that threatens the peace and safety of the people. The move is suggested by the arrest and threatened lynching at Valparaiso of a negro who assaulted a farmer’s wife recently. Editor Bowser is a prominent republican and his paper one of the leading republican papers of Porter county.

An Indianapolis paper says: A boom for Chairman W. H. O Brien, of the Democratic State c immittee, for the Democratic nomination for Governor, has been started by Dan W. Simms, of Li-f-iyette, committeeman from the Tenth district, who was at the Clnypool last night. Mr. Simms says that Chairman O’Brien is his * iioice for the nomination, and he believes that the Lawrenceburg Senator will announce himself s.s a candadate before the time comes for holding the convention. “I never talked with Chairman O’Brien about the matter,” Mr. Simms admitted, “but I regard him as the right man to head the ticket. I believe he would prove a strong candidate and I would like to see him nominated. I have felt for some time that at th*e proper moment Senator O’Brien would announce himself as a candidate I will confess that be has never given me any cause for this belief, but I can not help thinking that he is figuring on being a candidate, and if he does decide to go into the race I predict victory for him in the convention. He will make an excellent showing in the campaign, too. If any man ban win it is Senator O’Brien.” Mr. Bimms says be will not be a can te for i e-election as committeeman from the Tenth district. He hns served only one term. He has given satisfact ion to the Democrats of the and could probably be elected easily if be should ask for another term. His business affairs will not permit him to undertake tin work again, be says. As yet i.n candidates have presented themselves for his position.

THE FIRST STOVES.

They lap«n«4cd the l*uu Itahs U the Etphteeath Ceatury. A beating apparatus called a “stuba” (stove) was widely used among the higher class of Romans before the beginning of the Christian era. Tills class of heaters was fixed and immovable, besides being In several other respects wholly different from the modern stove. In Germany and Scandinavia they were used In bath rooms and hothouses during the middle ages. They were usually constructed of brick, stone or tile and were of Immense size. They sometimes covered the whole siae of a twenty or thirty foot room and often extended out Into the room as much as ten feet, In which case the smooth, flat top was used for a bedstead, the heated surface-impart-' lng an agreeable feeling of warmth during those cold nights of long ago when such things as covers were quite rare. Cardinal Pollgnac of France was perhaps {lie first to attempt the construction of a stove wholly of iron, this at about the beginning of the eighteenth century. The first real Improvement over the old Roman “stuba” was brought about by Franklin in the year 174 ft. One of his efforts produced a typical base burner, almost perfect and a model of workmanship. Stoves were not used in private houses to any great extent prior to the year 1830.

A Piscatorial Gunner.

The Jaculator fish, the piscatorial gunner of the Javan lakes, uses his mouth ns a squirt gun and is a marksman of no mean ability. Go to a small lake or pond filled with specimens of jaculators, place a stake or pole in the water with the end projecting from one to three feet above the surface, place a beetle or fly on top of the pole and await developments. Soon the water will be swarming with finny gunners, each anxious for a shot at the tender morsel which the experimenter has placed in full view. Presently one comes to the surface, steadily observes his prey and measures the distance. Instantly he screws his mouth into the funniest shapes Imaginable, discharges a stream of water with precision equal to any sharpshooter, knocks the fly or beetle into the water, where he is instantly devoured by the successful Nimrod or some of his hungry horde. This sport may be kept up as long as the supply of beetles and flies bolds out.

Odors of Flowers.

It Is a remarkable fact that although there are nearly or quite 100,000 flowering plants known the relative number having odor is wonderfully small, not more than 10 per cent, in fact. In connection with this it is noteworthy that because one species of flower is endowed with sweet odor it does not necessarily follow that all or nearly all or even a fair proportion of the other species of the same family will he as favorably endowed. An illustration of this is found in the familiar mignonette. There are some fifty species of this genus known, and of them all, but one has any fragrance. Nor is it certain that the most insignificant looking flower has the greatest fragrance or the most gorgeously colored likely to he without odor, thus seemingly disproving the theory that color and fragrance are given flowers for the purpose of attracting Insects to assist in cross fertilization.

Buying a Wife.

In Uganda a man can buy a handsome wife for four bulls, a box of cartridges and six needles, and if he has the luck to go a-wooing when woman happens to be a drug in tbe market he can buy a suitable damsel for a pair of shoes. A Kaffir girl is worth, according to the rank of her family, from four to ten cows, and In Tartary no father will surrender his daughter unless he gets a good quantity of butter In re•turn, and in certain parts of India no girl can marry unless her father has been pacified by a present of rice and a few rupees.

How the Orient Gets Its Flour.

“Two women shall be grinding at the mill.’’ In the east the day’s supply of meal Is ground each morning by two women, who sit opposite each other on a large, clean cloth, with the small millstoues between them. They push the upper stone around and around by means of a stick standing upright in a hole in one side, both women holding it. They usuully sing as they grind.

Southern Fruit and Vegetable Growing. The fertile lands along the Louisville & Nashville R. R. in Alabama. West Florida and Mississippi are veritable bonanzas for tbe fruit grower end truck gardner. One man sold from one single acre, too barrels of radishes for $900.00, gross; another patch of 4 acres radishes yielded $1,463.00 net. In the spring of 1902, .mother truck gardner -old 300 barrels of potatoes in Pittsburgh from 3 acres of ground for $1,548, and after paying all expenses, cleared $892.00, or $297.32 per acre. Within two weeks after selling his potatoes, corn was up and watermelon vines were running on tbe same land. He hai\ested his corn, sold his melons, and afterwards cut two crops of hay off of the same land; and on January 20, 1903, was planting it again in potatoes Strawberries yield from S3OO 00 to $550.00 per acre; a$ high as 12480 quarts of luscious berries have been grown on a single acre.

BELSttER, St Louis, Me. Sick stock or poultry should not eat cheap stock food any more than sick persons should expect to be cored by food. When your stock and poultry are sick give them medicine. Don’t stuff them with worthless stock foods. Unload the bowels and stir up the torpid liver and the animal will be cured, if it be possible to cure it. Black-Draught Stock and Poultry Medicine unloads the bowels and stirs up the torpid lira:. It cures every malady of stock if taken in time. Secure a 25-cent can of Black-Draught Stock and Poultry ■ Medicine and it will pay for itself ten ■ times over. Horses work better. Cows I give more milk. Hogs gain flesh. ■ And bens lay more eggs. It solves the ■ problem of making as much blood. ■ flesh and energy as possible out of ■ the smallest amount of food oon- ■ sumed. Buy a can from your dealer.
