TILLMAN'S PITCHFORK. Tfca South Carotin* Senator Stirring Thiagl Eg-WanU a 8peelal Committee Kamod to Inquire Into Recent Reports of SpasSlut Vt- by Senators la Sugar Stock aid as to Adiaaee Informs tton Faratotted to Speculator*. Washington, May 21>.—Senator Tillman. of Sooth Carolina, introduced a resolution in the senate for the appointment of a special committee of five senators to inquire into recent reports of speculation by senators in Sugar stock, and as to advance information by New York speculators as to the sugar schedule of the tariff bill. Also to continue the investigation made in 1894.

SENATOR TILLMAN. The resolution recites that one man is serving a sentence in jail, and that another was acquitted on a technicality, and provides for conducting the investigations so that all questions shall be pertinent. Senator Frye in the chair promptly referred the resolution to the committee on current expenses, and Mr. Tillmau was allowed to speak on the subject by unanimous consent. Mr. Tillman made a very sensational speech, lie said the democratic members of the finance committee were under a cloud on account of the sugar schedule of the tariff bill of 1SJH; also that the republican members of the finance committee were under suspicion. One party was as deep in the mud as the other in the mire, asserted Mr. Tillman. Mr. Pettus (dem., Ala.1 demanded that Mr. Tillman specify his charges so that the whole senate should not be subject to his sweeping assertions. Mr. Tillman said the present tariff bill was made in the rooms of the Arlington hotel, with close connection by telephone and telegraph with New York, and in close touch with the Sugar trust magnates. Mr. Tillman said Chapman was in a jail turned into a clubhouse, while the great magnate had gone free on a technicality. Mr. Tillman produced extracts from papers showing that the Sugar trust secured the sugar schedule in the new bill, and also au extract from a paper miking a charge that Senator Smith’. oAfw Jersey, had been speculating in sdgar.

Mr- Tillman closed with a declaration that the senate should either prove the correspondents liars, or prove, the senators corrupt, and then turn them out Mr. Aldrich replied to Mr. Tillman. He denied that any person connected with the Sugar trust had 'anything to do with the making of the sugai schedule. No person except the republican members of the committee knew anything about the sugar schedule except Jones, of Nevada, to whom it was shown before its report. He wanted to say for himself and for the other members of the sub-committee that he had not bought or sold a share of sugac stock. EXCITEMENT AT OWINCSSVILLE. Armed Men Gurd the Town A "a Inst a Mob of Would-He Kalilt-rn. Cincinnati. May ‘iv—A special from Owingsville. Ky., says that since last midnight Company E Kentucky state guard, have been imthat town as a protection against a possible attempt to rescue toll-gate raiders from the county jail. To-night armed men picket the approaches to the town and guard the courthouse ami jail. They will be here till Monday or later. Uov. Bradley hurried them here on a rumor that a mob was forming to rescue Johnson and Jones, the wounded raiders. Johnson and Jones both waived examination to-day and each was held in 52.000 to appear for trial in tvtobei and in 51.000 to keep the peace. lieu Harmon, John Bailey. Thornton Stevens and D. Anderson Freehly. arrested. demanded immediate trial, bat their eases were continued until Monday. Judge Gudgellcaused all persons entering the courthouse to be searched for weapons. None were found, but 100 big pistols had been deposited in a drug store. „ ON A MELTON7 Tbs Cormiwadrot Krlruttl and at Hb Old Home tu Arkaaut. Little Eock, Ark.. May 2».—The Gazette 'prints a letter from Fayetteville. Ark., which says that Ona Melton. the newspaper correspondent who was captured with the Competitor crew by Spanish officers and hefd in a prison at Uavana for a long time, haa been released and arrived in Fayetteville on Wednesday. He left Fayetteville Wednesday evening for his home in Madison county, neai Huntsville. Ark., where he was bore and reared. Melton is said to be arranging his plans to go on a lecturing tour after spending a short time at hi* old home. THE JERSEY LILY. Mrs. Langtry Will Vblt Iter California Lropertie*. San Francisco, Mav 20.—Mrs. Langtry. the actress, will arrive in California for a short visit about the first of July. U. C. Hike received word from her that she will soon leave England on her long journey. Mrs. Langtry will spend most of her time here on her ranch in Lake county. She intends to make extensive improvements including the restocking of the farm, with the intention of breeding high-class cattle and horses.

THE FARMING WORLD. COLTS ON THE FARM. How to Make Them Pro*table tm More War* Than One. So long as teams are necessary on the 'arm to do the work, with proper management the raising of good colts can be made to some extent at least profj Itable. A good team or teams of brood } mares can do nearly or quite as much I work as horses, says a writer in Ne- ! :;raska Farmer, and if kept in a good condition jnd properly bred to a good dre will bring a good colt. Outside of the cost of service it will cost practically nothing to raise until it is ready to wean. Then after it is 2*4 years old, if proper eare has been taken in training. it will be able to do sqfecient work to pay for keep until matured. So that under average conditions the cost of service and of feeding for two years will make the cost of the colt. We are driving a team of good young horses, cne three and the other four years old, that were raised in this way. and they are able to do a very large amount of work. And anything like a fair colt will sell for double the cost of the feed for

two years. By the time one team of colts has matured sufficiently to be ready to sell another younger team can be ready to do the work. Of course good mares should be kept, and they should be bred to a good horse. It is hardly advisable to keep and breed a plug mare, and especially if she is bred to a scrub horse. A colt from a mating of this kind would hardly sell at a j profitable price, and there is no good j reason for raising a colt of this sort. I Average good mares can be secured so i cheaply that it is economy to have good | mures and breed to good sires, using I all Reasonable care to raise good colts, and if there is anywhere that they can be raised profitably it is on the farm where the mares can be used to annuitant age in doing the work and the colts may be used sufficiently to pay for their keep as soon as they are old enough. FARROWING PENS. rats Kind May Ue Readily Moved from Place to Place. The simplest is the best. This engraving represents a portable or m6\ing pig shed for two sows. It is eight feet wide from A to D; fourteen feet long from A to U; four feet high on lack (D E). and six feet high in front tB C). The two farrowing peui are cut oft, one on each end, by

SIMPLE FARROWING PEN. a ,three-foot space in middle foi stove and for herdsmen. The front roof (C F) is of sash, two feet wide and the length of the building'. This affords abundant sunlight. In summer the sash should be covered for protection and to prevent superheating of pens. This style of pen. if well framed and strongly built, may be readily moved from place to place, and is about the simplest and best pig shed that can be made.—Journal of Agriculture. _ HINTS FOR STOCKMEN. In breeding defects tend strongly to become hereditary'. Dry sawdust makes a good material for bedding in the stables in summer. ! Plenty of warm skim milk will make a calf grow and cold skim-milk will kill it “ In order to perform hard labor the work horse must have plenty of nutritious food. Every animal has just so much growth in them and no more. Remember this in feeding, especially for market. It will help to keep the horses with a good appetite if the boxes and mangers are cleaned out before fresh food is put in them. The grow ing pig should never be allowed to fall off in condition sufficient to retard its grow th, but should be kept growing steadily until maturity. While, with the majority of farmers, pasturing can be depended upon very largely during the summer, yet when it is an item to keep Us much stock as the pastures will carry, it will be found good economy to grow some soiling crops.—Farmers’Union. The Sheep Hot Fly. A trickling of blood from the nose in dicates the presence of the grubs of the sheep bot-fly in the nasal-sinuses. These grubs have now found their way to these places where they take up their quarters until next spring or summer, when they escape, and fall to the ground where they take on their final form as a fly. and immediately lay their eggs on the sheep's nose, and so the new round begins. It is possible to eject these grubs at their present stage by blow ing tobacco smoke into the nostrils of the sheep, and immediately afterwards to blow up a pinch of fine snuff, the sneezing then ejecting the grubs. This remedy is that used by the Scotch shepherds. Extent of TotMieeo Karnnnic. In Connecticut there is hardl) a far mer who does not raise tobacco. The Connecticut leaf is particularly valuable for wrapping purposes, and also excels in flavor. In Ohio the growers say that the’ total expenses of their crops average per acre, but they find tobacco growing profitable even at those figures. There is said to be a growing belief among American tubaej co consumers that home-grown tobacco equals the imported article. Tobacco is growr in at least a dozen states. Penn- ' s\ Ivania leading in the amount of production. while Ohio has 50.000 acres giver, up to the culture, and an average crop f£ 30.000,000 pounds.

PHYSICIANS BAFFLED. Prof. R. 8. Bowman, laitraetor of Kataral Science to Hartaville Collece, Cirrd of a Sever* Illness bjr Dr. William** Plait Pill* for Pale People After Physicians Failed. From the Republican, Columbus. Ind. Prof. R. S. Bowman, the able instructor »f natural science in the famous Hartsville (Ind.) College, is well and favorably known, not only ait an educator, but also as a minister of the gospel, as for a number of years he was pastor of the United Brethren church

PROF. R. S. BOWMAN, at Charlotte, Mich., before coming to Hartsville. Some time ago he had a severe illnesf* which was cured almost miraculously. A reporter, hearing of this, interviewed him regarding his experience. Prof. Bowman was ir. the midst of his work when the reporter called, but he cheerfully gave him a hearing. “A year ago last fall," said the professor, j “I broke down with nertous exhaustion, and \ was unable to properly attend to my duties. I tried different physicians but with no j relief, and also used many different proJ nrietary medicine», spending almost fifty dollars for these medicines alone. I then succumlied to a siege of the grip in the midtile of winter, and was left in a much worse con- ! dition. My kidneys were fearfully dis i ordered, and my digestion became very poor. I 1 was indeed in a bad condition. | “A minister in conference learning of my | condition advised me to try Dr. Williams’ l ink Pills for Pale People. 1 had heard much about the wonderful curative “powers of this medicine, but it was with reluctance that I was finally jiersuaded to try it, as it seemed that nothing could do me any good. However, I procured three boxesof pills and took them strictlv according to directions. By the time the last dose was taken 1 was almost cured, and in better health than I had been for years. I continued using the Fills awhile longer and was entirelv cured. can cheerfully recommend Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People." Such was Profe.ssor Bowman’s wonderful story, which was further eudorsed by the following affidavit: 11A RTS V1LLE, Ind ., March 16, 1897. I affirm that the above accords with the facts in my case.

THE STATE ^LEGISLATURES. The resolution for a statue of Gen. Banks on the state house grounds haa * been adopted^ bv the Massachusetts house, with the appropriation reduced from $30,000 to $20,000. The Michigan legislature has enacted a law to allow all people who own assessed property to vote at school elections, thus admitting some of the women to a limited franchise. The Texas house has rejected a resolution for a constitutional amendment to increase the terms of state and county officers to four years, and has adopted a resolution for a constitutional amendment to permit aid to be given j disabled confederate soldiers at their homes. The Connecticut house has amended I the good roads bill, voting to change 1 the commission of three toasingle-head- | ed commission, to reduce the annual apj propriation from $100,000 to $75,000. and to require the state to pay two-thirds ! of the cost, instead of one-third as now, 1 the town to pay oue-third and the county nothing. The county formerly paid j one-third. A bill to punish mob violence, drafted to suppress the toll-gate raiders, passed the Kentucky house, making the as- ! sembling together for any unlawful purpose a felony, punishable by imprisonment for from one to five years, permits the offering of rewards by the governor or the county authorities, and makes the members of such a mob liable, individually and collectively, for any damage done. PERSONAL POINTSA prize of $5,000 has been offered by ■ King Leopold II. of Belgium for the i best treatise to be written before 1901 on the “Military History of the Belgians from the Roman Invasion Until | the ITeseut Day." Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir apparent to the Austro-Hungarian crown, I intends to build a magnificent palace in Vienna, which fact is takdn as an indication that he contemplates matrimony. The bronze statue of Stephen Girard, which will be unveiled in Philadelphia next month, is of the heroic size, and will rest upon a pedestal of gray granite 1 nine feet high, making the total height of the monument 18 feet. i Admiral Canevaro, in command of the fleets of the powers off the coast of Crete, is a South American by birth, having been born in Peru, of a Genoese ■ father.

WONDERFUL INDEED. Tke Qarea Bee I* the Meet Manrelou of All Useets. The study of bee life is always an in;e resting matter to the beginner and of all bees the queen is the most wonderful product in insect life. In the first place she is the product of the bees themselves. A common worker egg is taken and fed a certain kind of food and a fully developed female is produced from an egg that in the natural course would have been imperfect. As soon as she has become fully grown the queen bee sets out to find a mate, and after her return from this wedding trip never leaves her home j again unless it is to seek another and j more commodious one, for it is always j the old queen that leaves with the j swarm instead of a younger one. The queen bee lives four or five years i and is capable of laying from 2,000 to I 3,000 eggs a day during all this time. As { the ordinary worker lives less than six weeks in the working season and only j six or seven months under the most j favorable circumstances, the queen sees \ ciuny generations of her children come ! and go. No queen ever had more loyal ■ subjects than those of the queen bee, j and they will die in defense of her and j their home at any time. If a strange queen is introduced into a colony, the i members of it pounce upon her at once unless their old queen is removed, in ] which case the stranger is usually given j a warm welcome. If a surplus of queens is hatched in a ; hive, the extra ones are killed at once, and after the old queen becomes useless for the purpose of laying more eggs to keep up the strength of a colorv, her children kill her and cast her out and raise up a new 6ne to succeed her.—Farmers’ Voice. THE FLAVOR OF EGGS. tireen Bone Is the Cheapest Hen I’ooa on the Market. Good feeders have long known that certain kinds of food would greatly improve the flesh of animals for human consumption. The feeding of roots improves the quality of mutton; artichokes improve the quality of pork. Enterprising duck farmers have found that the feeding of celery improves the flavor of their birds, and chestnuts are fed to fattening turkeys to produce a game flavor. Green cut bone is fed to chickens for the same reason and to increase the size of the fowls and to increase and improve the flavor of their eggs. Careful experiment add practical experience have proven beyond any question of doubt that the liberal feeding of green cut bone will double the egg yield from a given number of hens. Green bone is the cheapest egg food on the market to-day, and in many places can be had for the mere asking. In those places where it has acquired a commercial value it can be bought fotf 25 to 30 cents per 100 pounds. This is much cheaper than wheat, which is the best of the cereal egg-producing foods. Green cut bone has such a potent force in increasing egg production that it will be found especially helpful in winter, producing large quantities of eggs when they are of greatest value.—Journal of Agriculture.

To complete the nest and make it more attractive and natural for the hens, wisps of hay may be twisted and sewed on the inside. The frame should be made to fit tightly in the nest heretofore used, so that it will not have to be fastened. The egg w ill drop through the hole and roll to one side of the nest below. The eggs may be gathered by simply lifting up the front side of the frame.—Curtis J. Irwin, in Farm and Home. For File* on C'nttle.

In the applications include feet and legs, and it will drive every Hy away, and one Application will last ten days or more in dry weather. Apply as often as necessary, and your cows will be entirely secure from flies of all kinds. Any kind of old lard or grease can be used. Coat tar is the base of this remedy, and when too thick to spread well, use more coal oil; when too thin to adhere well use more coal tar. Carbolic acid will cost about 50 or 60 cents in crystals by the pound, and every farmer should always keep it on hand, as in Its many, uses it is indispensable.—Live Stock Record. To Be t'sed with Core. Cnground cotton seed is a good food, but should be used with some care, j It is rarely safe to feed it to hogs, es- | pecially to pigs; it often causes trouble when fed to calves or other young stock. The seed has a large percentage of oil, and also of nitrogenous or flesh forming matter. Generally it will be found advisable to mix the seed with graiu or other food rather than to feed it alone, although this is often done. The lint left on the seed may be considered objectionable. but it very rarely causes (rouble except with hogs. Certainly the seed should not be allowed to go to warte.—Rrrai World.

Motherhood. r A mother who is in good physical condition transmits to her children the blessings of a good constitution. The child fairly drinks in health from its mother's robust constitution before birth, and from a healthy mother's milk after. Is not that an incentive to prepare for a healthy maternity? I:

Do you know the meaning of what is popularly called those “longings,” or cravings, which beset so A many women during pregnancy? % There is something lacking in the * mother's blood. Nature cries out and will be satisfied at alt hazards. ^ One woman wants sour things, another wants sweets, another wants salt things, and so on. The real need all the time is to enrich the blood so as to supply. nourishment for another life, and to build up the entire generative system, so that the birth may be J possible and successful. If expectant mothers would fortify themselves with Lydia E. Pinkhams Vegetable Compound, which j for twenty years has sustained

thousands of women m this condition, thfre would be fewer disappointment** at birth, and they would not experience those annoying1 “ longings.” In the following letter to Mis. Pinkham, Mrs. Whitney demonstrates power of the Compound in such cases. She says: “ From the time I was sixteen years old till I was twenty-three, I nan troubled with weakness of the kidneys and terrible pains when my monthly periods came on. I made up my mind to try Lydia E. Pinkham‘s VegetableCompound and was soon relieved. After 1 was married, the doctor said I would never be able to go my full time and have a living child, as I was“Constitutionally weak. I had lost a baby at seven months and a half. Tba next time 1 commenced at once and continued to take your Compound throngfe. the period of pregnancy, and I said then, if I went my full time and the babylived to be three months old, I should send a letter to you. My baby is noir aeven months old and is as healthy and hearty as one could wish. “ I am so thankful that 1 used your medicine, for it gave me the robust health to transmit to my child. I cannot express my gratitude to yoa; 1 never expected such a blessing. Praise God for Lydia E. Pinkham‘s Vegetable Compound, and may others who are suffering do as 1 did and find relief, an# may many homes be brightened as mine has been.”—Mas. L. Z. WmrasithGeorge St., E. Somerville, Mass.
