tion of the lease to Binfield, claiming
right to ^redeem from forfeiture.
The last crop bulletin issued by Di
rector Hunt of the weather bureau
gives very encouraging information:
The weather conditions of the last
.week, it says, have been as favorable
as could have been desired by farmers.
High temperature and frequent show
ers have had a very beneficial effect
upon all vegetation, causing vigorous
growth in wheat, oats and grass, and
advancing the season from ten days to
two weeks ahead. The soil continues
ia excellent condition for plowing and
planting; potatoes and small grain are
all in the ground, and the week closed
with corn planting well under way.
Most correspondents make favorable
mention of the fruit prospects, apples
and cherries being especially promising.
Twelve convicts have' been paroled
from the state penitentiary under pro

unqualified support. But one tiling
stands in the way, in the opinion of tiie
governor,that is,convicts are invariably
paroled through influence of friends
who agree to take' them and give them
employment, and as a great many
eligible to parole have no relatives or
friends they remain in the prison, when
if friends or phikmthrop persons would
intercede and offer employment they
might now be at liberty and earning a
living for themselves ns well as giving
their employers more than value re
ceived for their wages.

From a .VI Witter.
T.kxinc.ton, lvy„ May 7.—When Con
gressman W. C. P. llreckinridgc ar
rived here from Washington last, even
ing fully 500 men were at the depot,
lead by his son, Desha. All crowded
around him and shook his hand. Sud
denly an old ex-confederate soldier
called for cheers and these were given
with a will nine times.
The opera house was jammed at 2
o'clock when Urcckinridgc appeared
on the stage.
llreckinridgo's speech was mainly
devoted to a review of his career in
congress. lleginning with the first
election of Cleveland he pointed out
that no man in the Democratic party
had taken more advanced ground on
the.tariff question or done more to
unify the party on economic measures,
lie replied to the claim of his oppon
ents that he was a flowery orator but
not a practical statesman, by reciting
with great particularity liis labors on
committees and on the floor of con
gress.
a lie concluding portion or me speech
was devoted to the scandal and oppo
sition to liis renouiination on moral
grounds. He denounced and detied
those assailing him in the newspapers
and said that the future would rindi'
cate his devoted friends and confound
those who now sought to destroy his
usefulness. Answering the charge of
hypocrisy in taking a leading part in
religious and moral movements vvhi le
living a double life, he said that he
was all this time making atonement
for a secret sin which he dared not
confess and doing everything in his
power to keep others from following
in his footsteps.
Breckinridge was looking unusually
well and declared that he wits in first
class shape, lie had made no plans
beyond the speech here and the one
at Paris Monday.
_ Everywhere are to be seen Breckin
ridge campaign buttons, which bear
his picture. Thousands of people are
here and huudreds are coining on
every train.
The ltev. E. H. Ward, rector of
Christ Episcopal church, is out in a
card against Breckinridge’s candi
dacy. It is a powerful argument
against returning him to congress and
winds up iu the foliowingstrong man-'
ner:
The eves of the whole country arc at pres
<»«t upon the Ashland district Our own honor
und sell respect are tit stake. The usefulness
of Colonel Hreekinrid:e in the legislative hulls
of the nation Is for the present at an end.
Let him, therefore, for his own Kood and for
the welfare of the Democratic party, with
draw from the race for congress, and thus re
lieve the party from serious embarrassment,
and many Democrats in case of his nomina
tion from the pa.nrul necessity of voting for
the Republican nominee
The women of Lexington issued the
following last night:
To the Voters of the Democratic Partv:
The women of Lexington and the Ashland dis
trict protest against tlio renomination of W.
Cl* Breckinridge for congress. As Jvou arc
the voters wo trust you will refuse to return
him as your representative. Hv doing so you
will Pest subserve the peace arid progress of
human society, which from every quarter ualls
for this right und holv action.

KANSAS CROPS,
llamltonio Shoving Made by Secretary
Cobarn's Report.
Toi'KKA, Ivan., May 7.—Secretary
Coburn of the state board of agricul
ture has issued his crop report, which
makes a handsome showing. He says:
‘‘Winter Wheat—Rains and favoring
weather have caused a development
most gratifying; fields that in many
counties a month ago were regarded
as worthless, now indicate a partial
crop. From a scattering stand
of healthy plants great areas
previously promising, but sup
posed to have been much if
not fatally injured by the freezing
weather following March 20, appear
as practically unharmed, and this with
that not suspected of any damage is
now variously described by corre
spondents as “good, fine, very good,
better than average, looks well gen
erally, condition 150 per cent, pros
pects for big crop extra' good, better
than for several years, splendid, su
perior, all right, and best in twenty
five years.” Chinch bugs are reported
in varions localities, but in scarcely a
single instance as doing any damage
whatever. No mention is made of anv
other insects.
Corn—The uniformly favorable
weather and soil conditions through
out the entire corn belt of the state
are running nearly or quite all of
April and iiave afforded a season well
nigh unprecedented for the planting
and germination of corn. The acre
age planted will undoubtedly be verv
large.
Batch's Anti-Options Bill.
Washington, May 7.— Chairman
Hatch of the house committee on
agriculture has finished his report on
the anti-options bill agreed on by the
committee and will report it to the
house probably early next week. All
of the objectionable features which
have heretofore caused the anti-op
tions bill to be antagonized have been
eliminated. The only sections which
will now meet with any serious oppo
sition are those relating to bucket
shops. The regular dealers in futures
are pretty well satisfied with the bill.
Unions Figuring on Colonization.
Chicago, May 7.—In the interest of
labor organizations of Chicago a com
mittee has gone to California toexain
iuo 70,000 acres of land which has
been offered to them for colonization.

I HAWAIIAN REGISTRATION,
Only On* Hundred nnd Eighty Fire X»*
tlvei on the List.
San Francisco, May'7.—The steam
er Australia, which arrived to-day,
brought Honolulu news to April 21.
The registration closed April 21, and
in Honolulu alone 1.507 signed the
rolls. Although seemingly small it was
nevertheless a good showing when the'
fact that only 2,800 voters registered
at the last election under the Royalist
regime is considered. The registered
are: Natives, 185; Hawaiians born
foreign, 101; Americans, 300; English,
105; Iiermans, 120; Portuguese, 418:
all others, 08; total, 1,507. Coin pie to
returns had not been received from
the other islands when the Australia
sailed, but the total registration for
the group is estimated at about 3,000.
A large number of American sup
porters of the provisional government
did not register because they feared
that they would lose their American
citizenship by taking the required
oath. One of these was John Era
meluth, a member of tho ad
visory council. The Portuguese
nominated two candidates of their
own, who, from the number of their
countrymen who registered, will
probably be elected.
Jj. A. Thurston, the Hawaiian min
ister to Washington, is in Honolulu
and will remain until after the consti
tutional convention. He denies the
rumor that he has accepted the port
folio for minister of foreign affairs.
SURROUNDED BY MOBS.
Tim Whole of the Pennsylvania Coke
Region Carolled by Foreign Strikers.
Connklsvii.i.e, Pa., May 7.—From all
parts of the coke region come reports
of gatherings of foreign strikers about
the various coke works, and there is
every reason to expect outbreaks at
several points at mty moment. Large
forces of deputy sheriffs, armed with
Winchesters and large revolvers, are
on duty at each place and may be
able to prevent actual hostility, but
the situation is so critical that these
forces are being increased as rapidly
as possible. - ,
A mob of 1,000 marched on the Paul
plant to-day. frightening the work
men, many of whom dropped their
tools and tied. The appearance of a
large number of armed deputies, just
at this time, however, had the desired
effect and the mob quickly dispersed.
Other works that are only in part
operation, such as the Valley plant of
the Frick company, will be visited by
the strikers and trouble is feared.
The Frick people are determined that
•he strikers shall not trespass on
their property and deputies are on the
grouud in round numbers with Win
chesters.
NEGRO MINERS GUARDED.
Strikers Not Allowed to See the Work
men Near Kevler—Strike Objects.
Macon, Mo., May 7.—A delegation
of 350 miners, all from Bevier except
small delegations from other mining
towns in Missouri, met at Bevier
yesterday afternoon and, headed
by an American flag and a band
of music, marched to mine 46, where
about forty Alabama negroes are
at work, to try to persuade
them to join the general strike. Su
perintendent Crandall was there with
his guards and clerks and took the
names of the miners known to them.
Crandall wonld not all the men to go
inside the company’s grounds and or
dered his negroes not to go out and
talk to the delegation of strikers.
Tvvo of the negroes went and told the
whites that they would join the
strike if the other negroes would, but
the others were afraid Crandall would
fire them out of house and home if
they did.
PRICE OF COAL GOES UP.
Tile General Strike Taken Advantage of
by a Set of Coal Operators.
Chicago, May 7.—The price of coal
has advanced? in this city from
$2.75 to $4 per ton. Assistant Gen
eral Manager Wood of the Chicago
& Alton road said to-day that the
Ohio coal operators had stored in the
Lake Erip ports 665,000 tons last win
ter and early this spring. As soon as
these ports had been well filled they
cut.their miners’ wages to the lowest
limit. This action naturally brought
on the strike in Ohio, which was fol
lowed by the general strike. The
Ohio combination is now marketing
its supply at the advanced rate and
thereby netting a handsome profit.

A NO-TO-BAC MIRACLE
PHYSICAL PERFECTION PRE
VENTED BY THE USE OF
-TOBACCO.
An Old-Timer of Twenty-three Years
Tobacco Chawing and Smoking Cored,
and Galne Twenty Founds in Thirty
Days.
Lark Geneva, Wi*, May 7.—Spe
cial. The ladies of our beautiful little
town are making an interesting and
exciting time for tobacco-using hus
bands, since the injurious effects of
tobacco and the base with which it can'
be cured by a preparation called No
To-Bac have been so plainly demon
strated by the cure of Mr. F. C. Waite,
in a written statement he says: “I
smoked and chewed tobacco for
twenty-three years, and I am sure that
my case was one of the worst in this
part of the country. Even after I went
to bed at night if I woke up I would
want to chew or smoke. It was not
only killing me, but my wife was also
ailing from the injurious effects. Two
boxes of No-To-Bac cured me, and I
have no more desire for tobacco than I
have to jump out of the window. I
have gained twenty pounds in thirty
days, my wife is well, and we are in
deed both happy to say that No-To
Bac is truly ‘worth its weight in gold’
to us"
The cure and improvement in Mr.
Waite’s case is looked upon as a mira
cle—in fact, it is the talk of the town
and county, and it is estimated that
over a thousand tobacco users will be
using1 No-To-Bac within a few weeks.
The peculiarity about No-To-Bac
as a patent medicine is that the mak
ers, the Sterling Remedy Company,
No. 45 Randolph street, Chicago, ab
solutely guarantee, the use of three
boxes to cure, or refund the money,
and the cost, $2.50, is so trifling as
compared with the expensive and un
necessary use of tobacco that tobacco
using husbands have no good excuse
to offer when their wives insist upon
their taking No-To-Bac and getting
result in the way of pure, sweet breath,
wonderful improvement in their men
tal and physical condition, with a
practical revitalization of their nico
tized nerves.
Killed by the Electric Light.
An accident of an extraordinary na
ture occurred at the Halte Theater,
Aston, near Birmingham. The stage was
lighted by two electric lights, and
when the candles were not burning two
brass connections, used for the purpose
of crossing the current, were hung up
over the orchestra. After the perform
ance of the pantomime, Mr. Bruno, the
euphonium player, was leaving with
the other members of the band, when,
presumably out of curiosity, he caught
hold of the two brass connections re
ferred to. The man in charge called
out to him with the object of warning
him of the danger he was incurring.
The warning, however, came too late,
Mr. Bruno received the full shock of
the electric current generated by the
powerful battery which supplies the
whole of the lamps in the building and
grounds. It is said that the candles
not being then burning Mr. Bruno was
unable to disengage himself, and pulled
i he wire down. The shock rendered .
him insensible. Medical men were
soon in attendance and restoratives ap
plied, but Mr. Bruno died in forty min
utes afterward.—London Times.
Modern Improvements.
When a brave voltigeur of the Imperial
Guard wrote from the Crimea to his fath
er in Alsace, asking him to send him
a pair of strong shoes and a 5-franc
piece, the father, bethinking himself of
the telegraph’s speed, put the money
into one of the shoes and hnng the shoes
upon the wires. An ill-shod fellow com
ing along soon afterward made an ex
change ; and the old man upon discover
ing the substitution went home to tell
his wife that their boy had not only re
ceived his new shosi but had returned
the old ones 1'
HOUSEHOLD TREASURE.
Growing Popularity of the Oxford Sew
ing Machine*.
There is nothing more truly a household
treasure than a good sowing machine. To
be without it is to be willfully deprived of
the immense advantage of one of tlie’great
est of all inventions. A machine once
bought is a perpetual treasure. It demands
no wages, occasions no expense or trouble,
and is always ready without a moment's
notice to render the work of the laborious
housewife tenfold more efficient and ex
peditious. Some machines combine the best
ideas and suggestions which have been so
abundantly introduced in this remarkable
mechanism.
A machine which exhibits in liberal com
bination all the best features introduced is
the Oxford Sewing Machine, made by the
Oxford Manufacturing Company, Chicago,
with lock-stitch, shuttle running light and
quiet. These machines have the following
important features: Cheapness, perfect,
self-adjusting and graduated tension, are
under control of the operator and are
always positive in their working. They are
entirely self-threading in all points, includ
ing the shuttle. The .needle is self-setting,
the attachments are quickly and easily
placed and fastened. The shuttle has an
easy oscillating motion, causing it to keep
its proper place against the race. Their
Oxford, No. 14 and Columbia machines,
with attachments, were awarded the medal
premium at the World's Columbian Exposi

that note with an open space; that’s a
whole note. Can you remember that?"
Scholar—“ Yes’ra. A whole note is a
note that has a whole in it.”
The Lawn.—A young hedge of Osage
orange or honey locust should not be
cut until it is 2 or 3 years old; not, in
deed, until the shoots are one, or even
two inches thick. Then they should
be cut even with the earth in the winter
time, and the following year they will
throw up a luxurious mass of sprouts,
which may be trimmed into shape the
next June, and before fall we have a
complete, impenetrable fence.
When he sighs for her and she sighs

rioters had meantime raided a
iron yard and armed themselves with
pieces of iron. They wore in
frenzy of excitement and were “
stantly urged on by their leaders T
resist the officers. a“ rs to
At this juncture a large reinforce
ment of police arrived and another
charge was made on the mob with
drawn clubs. The crowd showed
fight only for a moment and then
their ranks were broken and scattered
in all directions. The police used
their clubs to such effect that many
of the men were laid low. Patrol
wagons were loaded with prisoners
and quickly sent to the nearest s "
tion. la
Many of the men threw stones and
other missiles at the blue coats from
the vantage ground of the Abbey
street bridge, but were forced away
and ran like sheep. *
While part of the mob were fighting
the police others made an unsuccess”
ful attempt to hold up a mail train on
the Mickle Plate road as it passed that
point. The train slowed up in order
not to run down any one, but sped on
its way unharmed.
Among the men arrested was Tom
Moore, who at the daily meetings of
the unemployed had constantly urged
the men to adopt anarchistic methods,
lie was only landed in a patrol wagon
after his head had been laid open by a
policeman’s club.
After their ranks had been broken
the larger part of the crowd started'
across the Abbey street bridge with
the police close behind them. On
reaching the west side they scattered
in every direction and the police re
turned to the stations.
The mob to-day was composed en
tirely of unemployed foreigners,
mostly ignorant Italians and Poles,,
who had been daily harangued by
labor leaders to organize.
KELLY ON COXEY.
Says the Commonmsler Leader Must Ee
a Fool*
Dks Moines, Iowa, May 3.—Kelly
was incensed when he read the re
ports of Coxey’s arrest. “That man
must be a fool,” he said. “It was
foolish for him to attempt sncii a
move without waiting for ns Ho
should have known that he would be
unsuccessful without the support of
the West. *If he had waited for us it
would have been different. I do not
anticipate any such trouble when we
get there. We will have no difficulty
in going into Washington.”
Kelly’s “industrial” nine made its
first appearance on the diamond to
day, crossing bats with tho Des
Moines Stars, Twenty-five cents ad
mission was charged and a good-sized
crowd attended. Kelly stripped off
his coat and shoulder straps, played
first base, coached his men and
pounded the curves of the Des Moines
pitcher in a very satisfactory man
ner. He showed himself a very
fair player. The gate receipts were
turned over to tho “industrials.”
The offer of the Great Western rail
road to carry the men to Van Wert
for 83 each was withdrawn to-day and
this has further incensed the labor or
ganizations. They claim that the re
fusal is another evidence that the
railroads have combined against
Kelly and are forcing minor lines to
follow their example.
