The Slleat Aratr.
Along the Avenue of Fame builded to
honor them
So pure, ornate, and yet, so simrfe in
its majesty
That, instincttively, one could but
feel
For such a setting, rare must the Jewel
be;
While yet the sun was high o'erhead.
Glinting with Its rays the burnished
steel;
Erewhiie the thousands lined the way
Whose every voice rang out a welcom
ing, I saw them pass; a glorious pageant
ry. Ghosts? Aye, spectres they;
Some in rags, with tattered flags
Cherished, and followed, In many a
fray,
With muffled drum, see how they
come!
Armed cap-a-pie, with musket, and
sabre,
"Ghosts of the Red-hand from over
the border."
Deathless heroes. Do ye seek a
name?
Mayhap 'tis 'scribed on the roll of
fame.
Or mayhap, they sleep beneath some
stone
Whereon is graved a holy legend
"Unknown."
Lost In the maze of the war blasted
track.
Some are "The Boys who did not
come back."
See! How they go charging:
To the trumpet's shrill sounding.
The deep-mouthed guns pounding,
Up, up; now, away!
Now, shattered and broken, spreading
dismay.
Musketry flashing; sabres slashing.
Wielded by loyal hands, hearts ever
true:
Hark! Now, the shot and shell;
Wide ope the gates of hell
The hell of war's passion;
Seething and surging, writhing and
turning
Until, at last, the "Old Flag" trium
phant; Forgotten the cost, then, in such glo
rious vision.
Spectres from Spectreland. Shadowy
phantoms
Booted and spurred, and riding apace;
Carbines unslinging, bugle blasts
ringing;
Musketeers; cannoneers, give them
a place.
The prison pen opens. Thousands on
thousands,
Hollow-eyed, famine crazed. God!
what a sight
Were they from among us these tat

their might?
Soldiers? Heroes? These, in rags?
Glorified rags! and hallowed flags.
Spectres from Deadland, ghosts of the

Who would not cheer for them?
Who dares now to gibe at them
Passing away in the shades of the

Peoria, 111., was recently filled with
delegates and visitors to the thirty
fifth annual encampment of the Illi
nois Department of the Grand Army
of the Republic, and the annual con
ventions of five kindred organizations.
The town veritably belonged to the
men who wore the brown button and
to their wives and sons and daughters.
There were several meetings of a pre
liminary nature, including a session of
the council of administration of the
Grand Army, at which Department
Commander Longnecker presided. The
executive board of the Woman's Relief
Corps also met and the Sons of Vet
erans of Illinois division opened their
encampment Camp Dustin, a little
city of tents, was opened at sunrise
and at night 100 tents were occupied.
The Sons were on dress parade. The
council of the ladies of the G. A. R.
met at the National Hotel and at Odd
Fellows building, a reception was ex
tended to Commander-in-Chief E. A.
Alexander and staff of the Sons of
Veterans. One hundred survivors of
the 47th regiment of Illinois Volunteer
Infantry met in reunion in Glen Oak
Park pavilion. There was also - re
union of the 17th Illinois Cavalry. Six
thousand people filled the new Coli
seum, the occasion being a joint camp
fire. The scene was one of splendor,
and the distinguished visitors were
given an ovation as they appeared on
the stage. Commander Longenecker
presided. Mayor William F. Bryan
welcomed the visitors to the city, and
Gen. John C. Black responded to the
welcome. Short addresses of courtesy
were delivered by Mrs. Florence Mc
Clelland, department president of the
Ladies of the G. A. R.; Colonel Wil
liam E. Hill, commander of the Illi
nois division, Sons of Veterans, and
representatives of other kindred
organizations. Commander-in-chief
Rassieur delivered an address, review
ing the work of the Grand Army aad
picturing the blessings now enjoyed
throughout the republic as a result of
the civil war. "The civil war has
made this country what it is," said
Rassieur, "and today the world stands
aghast at the prosperity and never
ceasing progress and happiness of this
reunited nation, welded by the bonds
of love and spirit of freedom."
Vet So Many Desertions.
A Washington special to the Indian
apolis News says that In one of the bu
reaus of the War Department may be
seen a record of the desertions ttom
the army, carefully prepared, for a
great many years. It is made up by
months. Perhaps its most astonish
ing feature is the evidence it affords
that in the spring the soldier's fancies
turn to thoughts of private life, for in
March, April and May desertions are
at their bight Very few men desert
in November or December, and the
summer as a whole is much more fa
vorable to desertions than the winter.
Correspondingly, it is always easier to
secure enlistments in the autumn
months. Of course this is explained
by the condition of the labor market,
particularly among agricultural la-
oorers who are, after all, the gre
body of American workingmen. Re
straint is much more oppressive in
summer than in winter, and the com
panionship of the post less enticing.
"Desertions in the army now are noth
ing to what they used to be," said a
War Department official. "Before the
civil war I knew one regiment from
which C80 men went out in a single
month. That is what you would call
going out on strike, instead of de
sertion, and in those days the punish
ments were much more severe than
now. Every one of those men was
liable to have his head shaved and to
have fifty lashes on the bare back.
Only a small part of those who desert
are ever recovered. Escape Is com
paratively eaBy. Many repent of their
folly and reattach themselves to the
service, and so our figures as to 'join
ed from desertion' are considerably in
excess of the figures of those who are
captured. Desertions in the Philip
pines are much fewer than at army
posts in this country. The opportun
ity to get away is less, and the allure
ments of outside life are perhaps less.
Our desertions now amount to not
more than from 1 to 2 per cent of the
force, while in 1872 it was a3 high
as 30 per cent
The penalty now imposed for deser
tion varies greatly with the circum
stances. A man may be sentenced to
four or five years in the penitentiary,
or simply dishonorably discharged.
Sometimes he is restored to his regi
ment with nothing more than a repri
mand, when the circumstances are
particularly extenuating."
Oa the Picket Line.
A Louisville boy, an officer in the
Philippines, tells a story on one of his
brother officers which will bear repeat
ing. The officer in question, a captain,
stutters badly. He had been on re
cruiting duty in the states, and while
at his work had enlisted for his regi
ment a man who stuttered as badly as,
if not worse, than the captain himself.
Some time later he was ordered back
to his company, and a few days after
ward was on duty as officer of the
day. As it happened, the stutterer
that he had enlisted was without his
knowledge put on guard duty that
night When the captain went around
to inspect the guard he came to the
new sentry and was challenged. "Huh-huh-h-halt,
who-who-who c-c-comes
there?" The captain .answered:
"0-o-o-o-of-f-of-ficer of the did-dad-day."
Then the sentry said: "A-a-a-advance,
of-f-of-of-officer of the d-d-day,
to b-bib-bab-be recognized." By
this time the captain was mad all over
for he thought the man was mocking
him. He did not know the recruit, al
though the recruit knew him. The
captain went bouncing up to the sen
try and yelled at him: "W-w-wh-wh-what
d-d-d-d n f-fool enlisted y-y-yu-yu-you?"
and the sentry said: "Y-y-yu-yu-you
did, sir." Louisville Cour

Had Soldierly Fortltade.
Commenting on the recent death at
Fort Sheridan of Abraham Haarscher,
a soldier in the United States army,
one of the commanding officers say3 ho
was in a way a remarkable man. Born
in Alsace, after the Franco-Prussian
war, he came to America and enlisted
in the army. One night at a far north
western garrison he was walking post
as a sentinel upon a frail temporary
bridge thrown across a stream that
was being unfcrmincd by a storm.
The timbers were creaking under his
feet and the water was beginning to
creep over the planking, when the of
ficer of the day appeared at the end of
the bridge. He saw the sentinel and
his peril.
"Come off that bridge. No. 5." he
yelled above the storm. Haarscher
walked calmly off the bridge and
came to an "arms port"
"Haarscher, you d d fool, didn't
you know the bridge was going?"
Even as he spoke the frail structure
was whirling away.
"That was my post, lieutenant, said
Private Haarscher, "and you forget
that I am a Frenchman."
Important Discovery la Luzon.
Frank C. Sagendorf of the Eighth
Infantry, writing from Calamba, Lu
zon, of the capture of a mountain vil
lage and the search for arms, says: "I
found a roll of paper carefully wrap
ped and tied. On seeing me unfold it,
the native woman made frantic ges
tures up and down her front, which
attracted the attention of the Macca
bebe. who also came to see the result
of the investigation. Carefully un
rolling what I supposed to be a valu
able find, I spread out nothing less
than a Butterick dress pattern, with
lines running up and down and every
which way across the paper. The
absurdity of a dress pattern in the
hands of a Filipino woman brought
from me a laugh which caused the
Maccabebe to further examine it. Af
ter gazing intently at it for a moment
he enlightened me with the fact that
this was an important discovery, as it
was an insurgent map of the island of
Luzon."
Homo For Con federate Soldiers.
. Captain D. G. Parr, a retired capital
ist of Louisville, Ky., has deeded to
trustees a residence valued at about
$10,000, to be used as a home for aged
and infirm confederate soldiers, the
first gift of the kind in the history of
the state. Captain Parr specified that
if in the opinion of the trustees the
confederate veterans could be served
better by selling the property and a
home purchased elsewhere, the sale
could be made. Mrs. Jennie Sale, a
daughter of Captain Parr, lately va

through her influence that the gift was
made. Mrs. Sale is an enthusiastic

May Chicks.
Of all months in the north May is
pre-eminently the best for hatching
chicks with hens, writes J. H. Davis
In the Poultry Tribune. The incuba
tor and brooder plays an important
part earlier in the season when earl
hatched birds are desired as market
poultry. But during a three years'
residence in Ohio, the best birds I
raised in Polish, Hamburgs, Plymouth
Rocks and Rhode Island Reds, were
hatched in May. My incubator Ply
mouth Rocks, hatched in March, were
marketed at twelve weeks of age, so
I had no chance of knowing what they
were when grown.
All my May chicks were Incubator
hatched and brooder raised, and they
made vigorous growth and were beau
ties by the time winter came. May is
the best month to hatch Polish, Hou
dans of any of the non-sitters. The
chicks of the non-sitting breeds are
very sensitive to cold and are easily
chilled and die. But when hatched in
May, when the weather becomes set
tled and warm, they grow fast and
there is little mortality except such
as is usual that is, the weaklings
die off, whether hatched with hens or
incubators. " I will say here that my
brooder chicks always 'made a better
average than the hen hatched chicks,
and the average mortality being much
less In the brooder flock than with
those with hens.
If you hatch with hens, good nests,
good eggs and good attention are the
requisites for a start Whitewash the
nests inside, put in a few inches of
earth, then sprinkle in plenty of sul
phur, (no, use insect powder. Ed.)
then put in your straw' or chaff and
you are ready to start Do not make
the nest too deep, but rather shallow,
since In a deep, round nest the eggs
pile on top of each other and get
broken. Sprinkle the hen once a week
with insect powder, but do not dis
turb her. As often as possible, when
she is off the nest, look to see if any
eggs are broken, and if so, wash them
with warm water, wipe dry and get
the hen back on the nest as soon as
possible. It is best to set several hens
at the same time if possible; then
divide the chicks among half the hens
and reset the rest
For twenty-four hours after they
hatch give no feed, then provide shal
low drinking pans, fixed so the chicks
will not get wet, and give them water
and an allowance of bread crumb3,
cracker erumbs or corn bread. Keep
up this diet for a week or more, when
pin-headed oatmeal the old-fashioned
oatmeal may be added to the ration.
Plenty of corn bread, oatmeal, water
and lettuce will keep them growing
right along. Don't neglect the lettuce.
Plant a big patch of is, nothing is
better for the chicks or for fowls con
fined in yards. For the chicks cut the
lettuce fine with a pair of shears and
feed it often. They will eat it greed
ily; see that they have a daily supply
all through the season.
ronltry Briefs.
One poultry raiser says that while
the care of chicks and the feeding have
much to do with the mortality, yet in
his mind the greatest cause of mortal
ity is lack of stamina in the breeding
stock. He certainly has hold of a
truth, but his statement of it must be
modified to be generally accepted.
Given ordinary care and full protec
tion from lice and animals of prey Iiis
statement is near the truta. But, with
the protection absent, there is no room
for comparison. The writer of this
has known a couple of cats to butcher
a whole coop ful. of half-grown chicks
that had all the stamina imaginable.
e
Do not delay to put in some forage
crop for the poui.ry if you expect to
keep them confined this summer and
have a yard large enough to divide and
give chance for the plants to develop.
Try some rape. The seed costs little
and can be secured of any first-class
nurseryman. The writer, has tried it
and knows that It will pay. The man
that writes about the cultivation of
rape will tell you that the ground
should be well-prepared. But this Is
not always necessary. The writer
once sowed rape in his poultry yard,
preparing a part of tie ground and
merely scattering seed over the other
soil, which was virgin and had never
been disturbed. The results aston
ished him. The rape on the unpre
pared ground did far better than that
on the prepared ground, in this case
the land was quite clayey and hard.
There was, however, abundant mois
ture during the season.
e e
"Can the sex ol birds or animals be
controlled?" is a subject just now
claiming a good deal of attention. We
notice that some of our contempora
ries are inclined to scoff at the men
that are trying to solve this question.
To such we would say, "Remember
that Darwin and Drummond and other
great scientists have spent time en
this problem and not entirely without
results." The variations in the rela
tive birth rates indicate that there are
hidden principles that govern them.
Just now one of the men working on
the clues he has found promulgates the
theory that hard conditions of life with
meager food and care tends to a pro
duction of males, while an abundance
of food and good surroundings and
gentleness increase the number of fe
males over the males. He claims to
be proving this by keeping part of his
fowls under hard conditions, and car
ing for and feeding the other birds in
the best possible manner.
Tabercalesls and Ventilation.
The cattle breeders who want to
banish the tuberculin test should first
assure themselves that their herds are.
free from tuberculosis and then they
should keep their barns well ventilat
ed to maintain the health and vigor
of the herd, says Live Stock Journal.
Adopt any other method if there is
any other as efficient as tuberculin and
when you assure yourselves that your
herd is free from tuberculosis, as a
Wisconsin fanner did who had a fine
herd of cows, that he assured himself
to be all right until they began to die,
when it was too late to save them.
Hoard's Dairyman gives this exam
ple: The other day, State Veteri
narian Roberts, of this state, was re
quested by a farmer living in this
county, to call and examine his herd
of cows. Something was the matter
with them. Several cows had died and
the farmer was puzzled. Dr. Roberts
took in the situation at a glance. Here
was a fine herd of cows, every one of
them of a high order of excellence,
and a stable shut up tight, full of foui
odors and taint, badly lighted, never
white-washed, and disease rampant
Ike tuberculin test was applied and
27 out of 30 cows reacted to the test
They were killed and in every in
stance the test proved correct The
man who owned the cows and many of
the neighbors were finally convinced
by this costly experience, but the dai
ryman had been talking hard along
this line for years. A little willingness
to read, and learn from what Is read,
might have saved this costly lesson.
This herd was located only five miles
from this city and in the same town
ship. Dairy farmers have been alto
gether too conservative on this ques
tion of constructing healthy, well ven
tilated, well lighted stables. After all
that has been said, barns in this conn
try were built last summer with one
window, where there should have been
five or six. and no heed at all to ven
tilation. Crowd a stable like that full
of cows, keep it warm as you must if
they give milk In winter, and you have
just the finest seed bed for tubercu
losis If, by chance, an infected animal
is introduced into the herd.
Prof. King, the inventor of the best
system of ventilation we know of. tells
of an instance of this same kind of
policy he saw In Canada. A man had
brought forty big steers into one big
room. His plan was to feed and water
them without letting them out and
the mangers were to be raised as fast
as the manure and bedding accumulat
ed. He had closed the barn up as well
as he could, for steers, like cows, do
their work better in warmth than In
cold. There came a very cold speil and
the breath of the animals froze on the
walls and sealed that room up almost
hermetically. The result was he came
near losing the whole herd. It has
seemed to us, as we have been in many
cow stables, that the owner had no
idea whatever of the amount of air a
cow needs; further, that he has no Idea
of furnishing her with pure air. The
result of such lack of knowledge and
good thinking Is, that tuberculosis,
abortion, and a host of other germ dis
eases have all the encouragement they
need, in a great many cow barns.
Certificated Dairies
Certificated dairies are among the lat
est developments of muncipal life, says
"London Dairy." The town council of
Plymouth leads the way, at the in
stance of Mr. J. A. Bellamy, who in
duced the council to pass the following
resolution by thirty-four votes to fif
teen: "That the medical officer of
health be authorized to issue annual
certificates to those dairy farmers
both within and without the borders
of the borough, who, being suppliers
of milk, cream or butter to the Inhab
itants of Plymouth, express themselves
willing to permit the inspection of
.neir farms by the medical officer of
health whenever he shall think fit
That such certificates be granted only
to such dairy farmers whose dairies,
cowsheds, premises, and farms gener
ally are in a thoroughly sanitary con-I
dition, and whose milk carts, cans, and
all other plant appertaining to their
business shall satisfy the requirements
of the medical officer of health. That
a list of dairy farmers to whom cer
tificates shall have been granted be
advertised for the information of the
Plymouth public every three months,
and that all other details as to the
carrying of this scheme into effect be
left to the sanitary committee."
An outbreak of typhoid fever in the
town gave rise to Mr. Bellamy's Idea,
and if it has the effect of preventing a
similar calamity no one will have a
right to complain. Yet it is not at all
clear that the power to Issue certi
ficates will relieve the town of all
possible taint of infection, and we are
disposed to question the wisdom of
sending a medical officer of health
hither and thither, when a large
town's supply of milk Is necessarily
drawn from a wide circle both within
and without his jurisdiction. The
power to issue implies a power to
withdraw a certificate, but there Is, we
imagine, no intention to prohibit the
sale of milk from uncertificated dairies,
or those whose certificates have been
cancelled. Voluntary measures of this
kind may possibly contribute to the
purity of the milk supply, but we con
fess not to view the proposal with
much hopefulness.
Losses Caasnd by Sheep 8cab.
Losses in Home Industry. The
losses from sheep scab have been and
are still very severe in most sheep
raising countries. They are due to the
shedding of the wool, the loss of con
dition, and the death of the sheep.
In the United States, some sec
tions have been overrun with sheep
scab, and many persons engaged in the
sheep industry have been forced to for
sake it because of their losses from
this disease. It is probable that in
its detraction of invested capital, sheep
scab is second only to hog cholera
among our animal disaases. The large
flocks of the plains and Rocky Moun
tain region and the feeding stations
farther east have suffered severely and
are constantly sending diseased ani
mals to the great stock yards of this
country. As a consequence of this mar
keting of affected sheep, the stock
yards are continually Infected, and any
sheep purchased in these markets are,
unless properly dipped, likely to de
velop the disease after they are taken
to the country for feeding or breeding.
There is in this way a constant dis
tribution of the contagion, and thou
sands of persons, who know little of
its nature or the proper methods of
curing it, find that they have intro

A speculative Scotch gentleman
wanted to dispose of some bees, so to
attract purchasers, he printed the fol
lowing: "Extensive sale of live stock,
comprising not less than 140,000 head,
with an unlimited right to pasturage."
The ingenious trick succeeded to ad
miration, for his stock brought "high
prices."
Examine carefully all small seeds,
such as clover and timothy, before

Cheap Artlaclal Steae.
The preparation' of a simple and
cheap artificial stone is becoming an
important German industry and is
likely to eventually suplant brickmak
tng. The ingredients are only lime and
sand in the proportion of four to six
parts of the former to between ninety-six
and ninety-four parts of the lat
ter. The materials are thoroughly
mixed and shaped into blocks of the
desired size. The latter are then put
in a boiler, which is sealed, and sub
mitted to a steam pressure of from 123
to 150 pounds to the square inch. This
operation gives a flinty character to
the blocks, making them very hard.
For Health aad Decaey.
Disregard for the law against ex
pectorating in public conveyances has
at last moved the New York health
department to action. Tuesday morn
nig seventy officers of the department
in citizen's attire were detailed to
travel all day in the cars of the various
companies throughout the city and on
all the ferry boats. They had orders
to arrest any person found violating
the ordinace. Before noon several men
were compelled to accompany the offi
cers to a magistrate's court, where
they were fined and warned against a
repetition of the offense.
Coalda't Wear Sao.s.
Sumpter, 111., June 10th. Mrs. J. B.
Flanigan, of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoes. She had doctored all the
time, but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who was
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six, before she was en
tirely cured. She is now as sound and
as well as ever she was, completely re
stored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanigan is pleased
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr. Flanigan are loud in their praises
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, and of Mr.
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills
cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her up, has made them the most
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.

Flolds of Wheat la Which tha Shocks
Were So Thick It Was Almost Im
possible to Drive Between
Them.
To the Editor: A gentleman from
Duluth made a trip through a portion
of Western Canada last summer and
writing of what he saw, says:
"Wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. I saw shocks So thick in the
field that it would be almost impossi
ble to drive between them. Winters,
it is said are longer than near Du
luth, but the Japan current, warm
Chinook winds and dry atmosphere
make the winters comparatively mild."
Thousands of such testimonials are
to be had from settlers who have taken
advantage of the low-priced lands of
Western Canada. During the present
year new districts will be opened up
in the Saskatchewan valley and ad
vantage should be taken of .this at
once. Information can be had from
any agent of the government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
your columns. Yours truly,

Captain Percy W. Moss, Paragould,

ever prepared, and it has taken buttwo
bottles to convince me of this fact"
Judge Wm. T. Zenor, of Washington,
D. C, writes from 213 N. Capital Street,
Washington, D. C:
I take pleasure in saying that I can
cheerfully recommend the use of Pe-

The above organization, now giving
a series of concerts covering the en
tire month of June, has all the old
favories who were present at the
Trans-Mississippi exposition, and
some highly skilled musicians have
been added since. The entertainments
commenced June 1st, two being given
each day, and will be continued all
through the month. Tickets of admis
sion are 35 cents. Reputation of the
Belistedt band is as wide as the coun
try itself, and those who fail to hear
it on the occasion of its present visit
to the Nebraska metropolis will miss
an oportunity that may never occur
again. The railroads, by some reduc
tion in fare, are helping out those
who wish to listen to the music of the
famous organization.

that dreadful fiend that threatens the
life of rich and poor, can attack and
kill only those whose bowels are not
kept thoroughly cleaned out, purified
and disinfected the year round. One
whose liver is dead, whose bowels
and stomach are full of half decayed
food, whose whole body is unclean
inside, is a quick and ready victim
of appendicitis.
If you want to be safe against the
scourge, keep in good health all the
time, KEEP CLEAN INSIDE! Use
the only tonic laxative, that will
make your bowels strong and healthy,
and keep them pure and clean, pro
tected against appendicitis and ALL
EPIDEMIC DISEASES. It's CAS
CARETS, that will keep and save
you. Take them regularly and you
will find that all diseases are absolutely
