Washington, Sept. 1. — The com mencement of the work of distribut ing seeds by the agricultural depart ment has been delayed by the late ness of the passage of the appropria tion bill by congress. The force to perform the work this season will be organized in the beginning of Octo ber and the distribution will be com menced in the beginning of January. The long inaction of the bill has also prevented the department form ob taining a number of vegetable seeds, notably turnips. A Kentucky Democrat Bolts. Lexington, Ky., Sept 1.—Colonel O. C.

Au Elaborate Soria* of Excnrilovui Ar ranged for the Delegate** Denver, CoL, Sept. L—The plans for the entertainment of the delegates and visitors to the National Irrigation congress include an excursion Tues day into the northern part of the state, stopping at Greeley, Fort Col lins, Longmont and Boulder. Wednes day night a special train will take the visitors to Rocky ford, La Junta and other points in the Arkansas val ley. Most of Thursday will be spent at the town of Rockyford, enjoying a melon day festival. Sunday, Septem ber 9, there will be an excursion to Georgetown and the famous "Loop.” Sunday evening a special train will leave Denver for Grand Junction, go ing over Marshall I’ass, through the Black canon and making short stops at Montrose and Delta. Tuesday, j September 11, will be peach day and ‘ vast quantities of different varieties i of choice fruits will be piled up for the entertainment and feasting of the visitors.

That night the train will bo taken for Glenwood Springs. The next morning the train will leave Glenwood about j 10 o’clock going through the canons of the Eagle and Grand rivers and over Tennessee pass, making a short stop at Leadville.

REVENUE FOR POSTMASTERS. Those of the Fourth Clasi Can Now Atl mip.lster Oaths in Tension Cases. I Washington, Sept. 1.—Hereafter the fourth class postmasters will have another source of revenue to add to the many that now holds in the smaller settlements. He now [ cjp ajt as a notary public for pen | sioners and witnesses in pension cases 1 only and can charge the pensioner not exceeding twenty-five cents for each I voucher to which he affixes the seal of his office. The n&w au thority and emoluments in the village postmaster sprung from an act approved on the 23d instant, wjiich “requires, em powers and authorizes" £li>m to “ad minister any and all oaths required to be ljy pensioners and their wit n&aSAS iji t^je execution of their vouch i ers with like effect and force as offi cers having a seal: and such posl i master shall affix the stamp of his office to his signature to such vouch ers.” The law includes all manner of pension cases, in which an oath is re quired, including vouchers for the regular quarterly payments. This authority to the fourth class post masters does not mean that a notary who has been heretofore taking pen t sioners' depositions can no long'er do so; on the contrary it is stipulated | expressly that they may do i so. The law was passed at the in ; stance of congressmen representing i country districts which are hut sparsely settled and is to save travel on the part of pensioners. The pen sion office is anxious they should have : notice of the changed conditions made ' by the law. K. P. ENCAMPMENT. -»>» Tlie Mystics of Girard, Can., Confident of Winning First Prize. Washington, Sept. 1.—The award of the prizes in the competitive drill of the Knights of Pj-thias will not be made until to-morrow night. The Mystics of Girard, Kan., are entertain ing confident expectations of captur ing the first prize of SI,500. The Kan sas City divisions do not fear that they will be among the last on the list of winners. The division from Hastings, Mich., is so convinced that it will lead the list that its members are already celebrating. The supreme lodge received a re port to-day from the committee ap pointed to draft a new ritual and made the matter the special order for next Thursday. Another committee proposed an amendment to the consti tution to establish a judiciary body analogous to the supreme court em powered to act on disputes over con stitutional matters. This absorbed most of the day. No reports have yet been received from the committees appointed to consider the questions of excluding liquor dealers from the Knights of Pythias and to compel the German lodges to give their ritual in , English. Punished for Abusinf HU Wife. Mound Valley, Kan., Sept 1.— : Last April Oscar Cullison, a young j lawyer, married the village belle, j Lizzie Prescott, daughter of a retired j farmer. From the first month of their marriage Cullison abused her. Yesterday morning while shaving, she declares, he threw a razor at her which missed her by a hair's breadth, and then beat her. In the afternoon she told her father, who got a big whip and flogged his son-in-law in front of the postoffice. A committee of citizens has advised him to leave town. Joliet. 111., £>jpu l.—The Lambert & Bishop wire mill, a branch of the Consolidated Steel and W ire company, which has been closed since last June, has given notice that it will start up in ten days, but with a ten per cent cut.

The Illinois steel mill of this city will also take a hand in the reduction of wages. The rod department, which has been closed for three months, will start up next week under a new scale of wages, which is from 15 to 20 per cent lower than th s old scale. ,s Castoria 2s so well adapted to children that I recommend it as superior to any prescription known to me.” II.
