Why the Banker Fainted.
A vrel known banker of Paris not
long ego met a mau of about his own
age, who, in shaking hifn cordially by
the lmnd, Mid: "Ij it possible, my rfoar
sir, that yon do uot remember me? Wo
met nt pretty close qnnrtors occo 25
years r.go. 1 am So-and-so, with whom
yon fought a duel with pistol You re
member me now I"
"So I do! So I do!" said the banker
"But I had completely forgotten the
incidrnt cutil you reminded ma of it. "
"Indeed! As fcr me I couldn't forget
it easily I vi:a so badly scared. W'liy,
T heard yenr bullet whistlo within an
inch of mv ear."
"My bullet?"
"Certainly. "
"Aud ihe pistols were londrd, then?"
"Of ccurse."
"Ah, those rascally secondsl They
vewed to me that the pistols weren't
loaded. Oil, dear! Oh, dear! To think
that I might have been killed like a
dog!"
And the banker fainted with agita
tion merely to think of tho danger
which he had ran 25 years before.

ORR TACOMA'S MAYOR.
Declared by Judre rrltotiard to Have
been Dulx Elected.
Taooroa, Aug. 10. Edward S. Orr
wss today declared by Judge Pritohard
to have been duly elected mayor of Ta
ooma, by a majority of fifteen votes, at
. the election held last spring. He will
! take his seat aa mayor as soon as the
judgment in the case is signed, unless
a supersedeas bond is permitted to be
j filed, pending an appeal to the supreme
i court
Judge Pritohard handed down his
decision on the disputed ballots at 4:30
o'clock this afternoon. It covers
twonty-five pages of typewritten manu-
script, and deuls exhaustively with the
; case.
A. V. Fawcett, who was, after the
I official oanvass, declared elected by a
1 majority of two over Orr, the previous
mayor, and candidate for re-election,
' will have to step down aud out
The contest case has been on trial
two weeks. It was at its commence
ment that it was discovered that the
vote of four precinots, that gave ma
jorities for Orr, had been stolen from
the oity vaults. The court, however,
went ahead with tho oount of the other
ballots, taking the figures of the miss
ing ballots from the returns.
The undisputed ballots gave Orr
2.620 and Fawcett 2,500 votes, includ
ing the four stolen precincts, the official
returns of which were oounted. Four
disputed votes which were oounted for
Orr, gave him a total of 3,624. and
nineteen disputed votes, oounted for
Fawcott, gave him a total of 2,609, a
majority for Orr of fifteen votes.
ROBERT J. A WONDER.
The Fastest Four fonsecntlve Heats
tier I'accd or Trotted.
Columbus, O., Aug. 10. Robert J.
again demonstrated todny that be is
the greatest pacer ever harnessed to a
Bulky. Frank Again was the favorite
in the free-for-all paoe, and, relying
upon his remarkable performances at
Cleveland, nearly every horseman on
the track backed him to win Previous
to the second heat of the great race,
Robert J. had few backers in this town
outside of Hamlin and the attaohes of
the Village Farm stables. When
Robert J. took the second heat, how
ever, he became a hot favorite. It waB
evident frcm the first that Robert J.
was to be driven to win, and the faot
that Agan was so heavily backed made
it certain the race would be hotly con
tested. And so it was. It was the
greatest raoe of the year, the fastest
four consecutive heats and the greatest
fourth heat ever paoed or trotted on
any track being made.
In the first heat, paced in 2:03,
Agan lowered his reoord half a second,
and broke the track record. The seoond
and third heats, in 2:04 , where con
sidered phenomenal, but the erowd was
not prepared for the great surprise
when the fastest fourth heat ever paced
or trotted, was made, the time being
2:02,.

Admission of Negroes to Creek Nation j
Declared Unconstitutional, j
Perry, O. T., Aug. 10. The final j
dercee has been promulgated from j
Okmulgee, capital of the Creek nation, !
as it had been banded down by Judge
Adams, chief justice of the supreme
court of the nation, in the citizenship
oase. It strikes from the rolls of citi
zenship of the nation the names of over
1,700 negrons.
The decision held that the action of
the emancipation act by the United
States, in admitting the negroes to
tribal relations, was Unconstitutional,
and, therefore, at this time invalid.
Sinoe the passage of the act these ne
groes have drawn in aunuities f 1,000, -000
from the Creek government, and
have improved their farms, and have
educated their children at the nation's
expanse for twenty years. From the
decision of the ocurt there is no appeal.
The interior department has held to
the same opinion in a similar oase.
The Dawes commission, which has been
appealed to by the deposed negroes,
claims it has no right to interfere with
the decision of the Indian court.

Salem, Or., Aug. 10. The report of
the expert committee, appointed to as
certain the ex-treanurer's standing

to be rewritten for the period of the
treasurer's incumbency. The treas

Astoria GambMng-Uous Keepers Ob
ject to Uutqual 'Fines."
Astoria, Or., Aug. 10. There is a
strong prospect of a lively fight at an
early date over the so-called "flues"
exacted monthly from the keepers of
gambling bouses in consideration of
immunity from polioe interference.
For the past two years, each bouse in
whioh games of chance, such as
"craps," roulette, faro and the like,
are conducted has paid the oity month
ly the sum of $50, but since the open
ing here of a large saloon and sporting
house, those of the gamblers who have
only sufficient money to make a show
ing in a cingle bauk-roll have become
dissatisfied, beoauseof the faot that tho
more wealthy of their class run as high
as five or six games and they pay no
more for the privilege than do those
who condnct a single "orap" table. It
is likely that at the next meeting of the
oity counoil Bteps will be taken to have
the matter adjusted in an equitable
manner.
The Salmon Industry.
Astoria, Or., Aug. 10. M. J. Kin
ney, in his annual trade circular, just
issued, says:
The season just about to close has
been one of the most remarkable in the
history of the salmon canning industry
on the Columbia river. Confronted
with a strike at the opening of the sea
son, and with but few fish packed un
til June 24, it seemed at that time that
the output would of necessity fall far
short of that of any preceding year
since 1877. The abnormally heavy
runs of salmon, however, and the pro
digious efforts of canners to rf oover the
losses sustained during the strike have
resulted in a pack aggregating 75 per
cent of that for 1895. Throughout the
year salmon have been unusually large,
and in color, firmness of flesh and
quantity of oil excelled those caught at
corresponding periods in any former
season. A noteworthy feature of the
year's business was the large propor
tion of chinook salmon, the pack of
thii variety representing a muoh larger
percentage than usual of the entire out
put Boston's Resident Shocked.

Emanating from some other sources
the figures, given by Mr. Alvord might
reasonably' bo subject to doubt, but
Mr. Alvord Is uot one who would know
ingly scud forth false Information nor
base an official statement ou mere
guesswork, and being In a position to
know whereof he speaks, his figures
may bo relied upon as correctly repre
senting the situation. But it will bo
a geuulne surprise to nearly all who
have given the matter a thought to
Iearu that S." per cent, of all butter
produced in this country was, as late
as 18'JO, made on the farm. Here 'la
what he has to say ou the subject:
"The moat noteworthy fact In con
nection with the production of butter
on farms Is that, nntlnvlthstanding the
great extension of the creamery sys
tem and the decline in the amotiut
of butter annually exported, such pro
duction has Increased even more rap
Idly than population. To go back to
the census of 18.'0, It Is found that the
otnl production of butter on farms In
i4l was 313.345,r,08 pounds, or 13.51
pounds per capita of population. In
ISM the amouut reported was 4."9,
(!S1,S72 pounds, or 11.02 pounds per
capita. In 1870 the amount reported
was 514,002,083 pounds, which gave
an average of only 13.33 pounds for
each inhabitant. Vp to this time there
had been no creamery butter reported,
but In 1880 the production of farm but
ter averaged 13.50 pounds for each In
habitant, and that of creamery butter
0.58 pounds for each Inhabitant, the
total average being thus 10.0S pounds.
At the eleventh census, however, the
production of butler on farms alone
averaged 10.33 pounds per capita of
the population, aud such had been the
Increase that the total production of
butter averaged no less than 19.24
pounds per unit of the population."
As no creamery butter was reported
until 1880, when ouly a little more than
one-third of 1 per ceut. (.030, to be ex
act) was thus produced, it follows that
of the 13 per cent, shown by the elev
enth census, nearly all was gained dur
ing ten years. There Is no doubt that
the ratio of gain has been much great
er of late. New York Times.
t DrylnR Wheat for Seed.
I There Is often an Injury to winter
I wheat Bced from heatluj? after the grain
! is gathered, which Is always done In
j hot weather. If the straw and gralu
are slightly damp when put lu tho mow
' or stack, It will almost surely heat.
I This heating may not be Injurious In
itself, but It leaves the gnIn dumper
than before, aud It only dries out when
cold weather comes. So It often hap
pens that when winter wheat of the
present year's crop Is used as seed, It
often la sown when very nearly as
damp os It was when garnered. Such
wheat germinates slowly. It Is already
expanded with moisture, and so docs
not swell In the soil as It should. For
this reason many old farmers who grow
winter wheat prefer wheat a year old
for seed. It Is, however, no better
than If 09 good as this yew's wheat,
which has been thoroughly dried and If
possible without any heating In Its
moist state. Tut the seed wheat Id
bundle on scaffolds where it will dry,
spreading so that It will not heat. Then
thresh it out with the flail and put It
in a fruit evaporator for twenty-four
hours. By that time the grain will
seem much less plump than new wheat
ought to bo, but it is all the better seed
for that
Why Bcracs Clobber.
A correspondent of the American Cul
tivator expresses the belief that the
reason why the second growth of clovur
makes horses slobber Is because of Its
seeds. Clover seed at present and pros
pective prices Is altogether too dear
feed to be given horses, even the most
valuable. But, eays tho Cultivator, we
think our correspondent mistakes in
ascribing the slobbering to the clover
seed. Neither do we think it Is the sec
ond growth of the clover Itself. Many
years ago we made an investigation,
and found that the slobbering only oc
curred where the lobelia plant, often
called Indian tobacco, was found mixed
with tbe clover. This lobelia Is, on
every farmer knows, a most powerful
emetic. Even on land where It la abun
dant, It does not get large enough to go
into the first crop of hay. But after the
first and heavy clover crop Is removed
the lobelia makes "a very rapid growth,
and Its blue flowers are often very plen
tiful where clover Is grown on low,
moist ground.
The Tnssel of Corn.
The flower of the corn plant Is di
vided Into two portions, the tassel, or
male section, which furnishes the poll
en, and the silk, which Is tho female
portion of the flower, which receives
It. Each thread of silk carries some
of the pollen to the ear, and there a
grain of corn Is formed. The profusion
of silk is so great that the grains ' of
corn are .compacted on the ear as close
ly u pouibla. When tils U not th
fart It f more likely durtft the drying-1
up of the tassel, so that not enough j
pollen Is formed to fertilize all the silk, j
If there Is either a very dry or very i
wet time when the tassel should m dis-
Irllintlng pollen, these defective oars
will lo plenty. Heavy rains in one
rase wash the pollen off. and tbe dry
weather causes the tassel lo shrivel
nnd become worthless. The blossoiu-
, lug Is exhaustive. If Hie season Is just
right one-quarter of the tassels pro
duced would make a full crop of well
developed ears. But as In every crop
there are more or less defective ears.
It Is unsafe to cut them out. The stick
ers usually tassel later, and for this
reason they often Increase the corn
nop ou the main stall; after the earlier
tassels have dried up.
Kirn nml You in; Chicken.
In the twenty-one days that It takes
to turn n perfectly fresh fertile egg
Into a chick, there Is more pmtli lu pro
portion to the capital Invested than In
any other farm operation. So the old
lady was not so far out of the way
when she said she would not sell eggs
under a shilling a dozen, or a cent each,
because It didn't pay for the lien's
1 1 mo. If an egg Is worth one cent, a
lively young chick, newly hatched, Is
worth at least six cents. If not ten. Six j
hundred to 1,000 per cent, profit In 1
twenty-one days' time Is not lo be;
sneezed at There Is an other side to j
this, of course, when sickness or some-1
thing else thins of the young chicks, i
and their dead little bodies are not j
worth even the ceut that the egg costs
from which they were hutched. It Is
by looking ou all sides that conserva-1
tlve farmers usually called rather slow
ate saved from enthusiasm lu the egg:
aud poultry business that have de- j
cclved and disappointed many who
have gone In without experience anil :
have coma out with nioro experience, i
than they wanted. j
Kye Straw for Ilinclln i Corn Ktnllta. '
It Is a good plau for farmers who;
grow rye to save a few bundles to bo I
threshed by hand, and use the straw!
for binding com stalks. We cut corn
much earlier than wo used to do, and I
It Is wise to do so. In using green corn j
stalks fur binding tho tops of stocks,
perhaps two or three will break, wast
ing stnlks, spoiling patience nndtaklng
time, all of which would bo saved by
having a wisp of long rye straw to use
In binding the tops. There is still an !
other advantage of the rye bands. They j
will hold, while If a dry, hot spell comes j '
a good many of tho stalk bands will
break, letting tho stook fall apart,
and when ruins come most of the stalks
will he found In the mud. Those who
use rye bands for binding corn stalks
will never after bo without them, even
If they have to grow a small piece of
rye every year for this purpose alone.
Ex.
Growl nu Me'nna.
It is natural at plituling time to put
some composted stable manure In
melon hills. The soil Is then rather
damp and too cool for the melons. The
uniuiire dries oud wurms It, which j
gives the seed an earllor start thiin i
It could get without tho mauure. But i
about this time the man who has mel- i
ons with manure In tho hill wishes he ;
had not put any there, No matter how ,
well composted tho manure, It will not .
hold Its moisture Into midsummer
heats. The best way lo water these
melon hills Is to mnko deep holes down
below the manure In the hlllB, and then
slowly 1111 and refill them with water '
until the ground Is well saturated.
Then If the holes are filled with loose
soil, and the surfaco Is kept mellow to
prevent evaporation, tho melons will
not suffer for luck of moisture lu oven
the dryest times.
Pitbetitutea for Whcnt.
Possibly one of the reasous for the
low prices of wheat. the past few years
Is that so many substitutes have been
found for It as human food. We still
use a great deal of wheat, but In cities
espcclully wheaten bread Is less the
staff of life that It used to be. The use
of ont meal has Increased, and It dally
forms part of the nutritive ration, mid
very good nutrition it lo, too. We use
far more fruit than formerly, and also
more potatoes. The latter are not so
good In nutrition us wheat, and for
this reason their increased use Is not
for our advantage In health and
strength. Like all other starry foods,
potatoes are dllllcult to digest, and
should only be eaten In moderation, ex
cept by those whose digestion Is strong.
