The civil service oomuiission lu It known that all Information eonevrmng the icope and character of tbe varlou examinations for appointment to 1U cral office may be obtained free by malt ing application direct to the coumilw Ion. Certain partke lu Washington and elsewhere have been trading on the credulity of candidates for examin ation by making a charge for this Infor mation which may Just as easily be ob tained for nothing by writing direct to the Civil Service Coinnilwlon, Wash ington, D.C. The first step toward getting tbe sugar bounty before the court is tor a mandamus to compel Secretary Carlisle to have their plant Inspected so as to enable them to collect the bounty on the sugar produce from this year's crop of cane. The petition was presented to Judge McComaa, who directed Secreta ry Carlisle to show cause on October! next, why the mandamus should not issue as prayed. The argument 1 looked forward to with much interest, although it is thought that a much stronger case can be made for the best sugar makers, who have been refused the bounty on sugar that was made bo- fore the bounty was repealed. Neither the republican hor democrat. lo congressional committees have taken any decided position on the silver ques tion; they both tell candidates for eon greet that It is a matter for them to set tle Individually to suit themselves. Consequently there are democratic can didates making their canvass as friends f rrA Romajre and as opponents, and It is just the same with the republicans, In this connection the views of Senator Roach, ofNorth Dakota, are interesting He says: The all Important question in mv state Is finances. The tariff and all things else are of little import ance, compared with sliver. The popul ists, who have a strong organization in the state, are out for free coinage, while neither of the old parties are thoroughly committed on the question. Therepub .licans will try to satisfy the silver peop le with some expression friendly to silver, and the democrats cannot aflord to take any halfway position. The silver question is bound to be the vital Issue in the West, and the democratic party must come out squarely on it. The tariff can no longer be a leading Issue. The western people are for silver without regard to the attitude of either party, and the situation is such as to render a readjustment of party Hues probable. In my state a full state ticket is to be elected, and the Senate branch of legislature holds over for four years, and will participate in the election ol Senator Hansbrough's successor. The three parties are therefore making a fiard' fight for the legislature, and tbe populists are strong enough not to be without hope of getting the next seiiat or". look around for suitable material to offer as candidates.

The political power that can be exer clsed by women was illustrated in the contest in the Ashland District of Ken tucky. The ladies of that district did not cast a single vote, but, It is safe to sav. thev influenced the easting of several hundred. The result is a dem onstration of tbe fact that women have all the political power that most of them want and when an emergency arises, they do not hesitate to use it Furthermore this power is much greate than if they had tbe franchise. A change In the policy of handling the army is announced. Hereafter, the main body of troops will be con centrated in a few larire posts, most of which are in easy distance of tbe large cities.

We have just read an account of the forest fires in Minnesota and Wisconsin and they were fearful. When I think of the number of people that were burned, and the amount of property destroyed, Tlie numl:r of persons burned was near COO. On a spot of four to five acres there were 300 bodies found burned beyond recognition. We shudder at the thought, for death by fire must be fearful. My notice to sports hunting on my land, is simply this: I have 150 acres of land and from its8itua- tion it is a good nesting place for birds. They do mo very little, if any damage. The hunter comes on tlie farm with a dog and gun and rummages over the place shoot ingnear the house, children and stock. The result is the children are frightened from their work and ono of my best lambs is dead. think caused by a stray shot. Some times I find agate left open. Some hunters have been on the place and lired several shots near the house and left with well ' filled game bags and they knew I was craving a bird and not able to kill ono, but not an offer of a bird. Such being the case no ono can blame me for positively forbidding hunting on my place and to prosecute, if any one insists. 0. M. BitoWN. FAMOt. Henry Kerr is slowly improving.

Number of Acres in this Vicinity, Total Yield, Amount Fald Out. Hon raising is one of our principal induHtrlus, and in years when prices are good It brings a great deal of money In to the country. This year there will bo little, if any, profit to the grower, but tbe most of them have picked their crops and are going to run the chance of coming out even. The money that has been paid out for picking, drying and baling has boen a big help to the buHinoss interests of the community and would have been sadly missed had the growers decided not to U k their crop, We Lave made a hurried estimate of the acreage and yield of the yards In this vicinity aud give you our figure.
