The appointment of John B. Storm
by Governor Pattison, to be President
lodge of the Carbon-Monroe district
has created quite a storm in Carbon
county because their candidate, Allen
Craig, was not appointed. Both men
are well qualified for the position, but
Carbon claims that it is the largest
county, and Monroe has had the Judge
for the past twenty years. It will
probably lead to a contest at the next
election.

text is made up from Mr. Week's
diary, and the illustrations, painted
from sketches made along the way,
are unusually strong and suggestive.

Experiment Station Notes,
Mr. George C. Butz, Horticulturist
of the Station, makes the following in teresting
report upon the varieties of
strawberries tested during the present
season, and upon the comparative ad
vantages of culture in matted rows
and by the hill system.
The lessons of the strawberry crop
may be best learned while the exper
ience is yet fresh in memory. It is
customary to grow the plants in mat
ted rows because this method requir
es less attention in cultivation. The
berries are kept clean, no mulching
being necessary, and as there are
more plants per acre, the yield is pre
sumably greater than in the "hill sys
tem" of cultivation. Arguments that
carry some weight are frequently put
forth in favor of the latter system, and
trials are made iipon a small scale by
the market gardener, but never with
sufficient accuracy and attention to
determine the relative merits of the
two systems. The recent crop has
afforded us results touching upon this
question and they will be read with
much interest by persons cultivating
the strawberry.
Among 35 varieties planted side bv
side and cultivated in the two ways.
24 yielded heavier crops in the mat
and 1 1 in the hills. The total yield
from mats was 10 per cent, better
than the total yield from hills. The
weights of the first picking, June .12,
and the last, July 5, were greater from
mats in each case by about 50 per
cent. Kentucky, Cresent, Van. De
man and Gov. Hoard were better in
hills than in mat. The heaviest yield
of all the varieties tested this year
numbering 40, belongs to the Green
ville by the mat system. This variety
has borne a good report as long as it
has been grown here. The berry is
large, ripens well of good color, comes
early and stays late. There was a
quart of berries for every 8 inches of
row calculated from the total figures
of yield. The next in largeness of
yield was Shuster's Gem, another new
berry of great merit. The roll of
honer in yield and beauty of berry, as
made up from the reports of this seas
on, is as follows : Beginning al the
top with 1 Greenville, 2 Shuster's
Gem. 3 Ohio Centennial, specially
noted as the largest berry which
ripens well and has a fine color and
flavor. 4 Parker Earle ; though one
week later than the earliest, the - yield
was heavy and of good berries. 5
Van Deman, one of the earliest with
a medium sized berry and a constant
ly good yield through three weeks. 6
Cresent 1 this good old standard must
at last acklowledge defeat in point of
yield and suffer greatly from a lack of
quality in its berry. 7, Crawford
stands next in order of yield and can
boast of a good and medium sized
berry. 8, Wilson's Albany. 9, Gov.
fioara and 10, Chas. Downing. The
five earliest varieties were in the order
of the heaviest yields at first picking.
1, autcnell s early, 2, Van Deman. 3,
Cresent, 4 West Lawn and $, Shuster's
Gem. The five latest varieties were,
in the order of the heaviest yields at
last picking, 1, Parker Earle. 2, Town
send. 3, Crawford. 4, Eureka and 5,
Kentucky.

A MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
Hundred Had a Close Call in the
Pittsburg St Western Wreck.
Ilottea Tics and a Sandy Unarlhed Caused
the Aocldant-Thlrty People Irjured,
But Nunc Killed.
Kent, O., July 20. A sandy roadbed,
rotten ties, a heavy loaded train and fast
running over a sharp curve, caused the
wreck at Devil's Point, four miles west of
Hook, early yesterday morning on the
Pittsburg & Western railroad.
The ill-fated train was a through excur
sion from Washington to Chicago, carrying
nearly four hundred passengers. Three
rear coaches left the track and were pre
cipitated down a ten-foot embankment,
seriously injuring 80 people.
Fortunately no one was killed outright
but it Is expected several will die. Twice
the coaches wore turned bottom up and
that the passengers escaped with their lives
seems almost miraculous. Many were
pinned fnst under the wreck, while others
wore unconscious from the blows sustained
for as much as 80 minutes.
VIGILANCE IN Till) MKTKOFOLIS.
The New York llmird or Health Looking
Out for Cholera.
New York, July 20. "The utmost vigil
ance la being observed on the part of the
Bureau of Contagious Diseases .to detect
the slightest indication of cholera."
Dr. Doty, the chief of this division of the
Health Department, made this statement
this morning: .
In every case where there appears to be a
suspicious Indication of the infection, im
mediate and seacrhing Inquiry la insti
tuted, resulting in a bacteriological exam
amination of the case.
The two cases of cholera morbus, Tillle
Kruel and Coliano Castro, were not re
ported to the Health Department, and Dr.
Doty said that the report to the effect that
residents were terrified, apprehending that
the patients were afflicted with cholera,
was erroneous and needlessly alarming.
The fact remains, though, that too much
watchfulness on the part of the people of
the tenement district, cannot be observed.

Port Towvsend, Wash., July 20. It to

"Ayer's Cathartic Pills cured me of sick
headache nnd my husband of neuralgia. Wa
think there Is
No Better Medicine,
and have induced many to use It.
" Thlrty-flve years ago this Spring, I was
run down ly hard work and a succession of
(olds, which made me so feeble that It was
an effort for roe to walk. I consulted the
doctors, but kept sinking lower until I had
given up all hope of ever being better. ,
Happening to be In a store, one day, where
medicines were sold, the proprietor noticed
my wenk and sickly appearance, and, after
a few questions ns to my health, recom
mended me to try Ayer's Tills. I had little
fuitli In these or any other medicine, but
concluded, at Inst, to take his advice and try
a box. Before I had used them all, I was
very much better, and two boxes cured me.
I am now m years old ; but I believe that
if it bad not been for Ayer's Pills, I should
have been in my grave long ago. 1 buy 6
boxes every year, which make 210 boxes up
to this time, and I would no more be with
out them than without bread." H. II.

Every Dose Effective
The Colorado Panic.
The puiic in Denver was distinctly
a panic an unreasonable fright. There
was, of course, a basis for disttust in
the fact that many of the Colorado
banks have made advances upon silver
securities which have depreciated and
on which it is impossible to realize at
this time without loss. But this should
not and probably does not affect the
stability of the banks as a whole,
though no banks in the world can
stand a general demand for the imme
diate withdrawal of deposits
This demand, especially among the
smaller depositors, was clearly not
based upon reason, but upon the
vague distrust which ihe present situ
ation has produced and which has
been aggravated at Denver by the
wild talk of the silver operator's and
the silver politicians. It is mainly the
pernicious activity of such unscrupu
lous demagogues as the Governor of
the State that has thrown the crowd
into this fright and at the same time
has impaired the credit of the Colora
do banks abroad. For whatever disas
ter may result it is these men that
should be held responsible.
The Colorado people may learn
from this sharp experience that it does
not pay to war against the financial
convictions of the world. The legis
lation that has brought about the pres
ent long-foreseen crisis was designed to
placate them and their neighbors.
When they begin to suffer from it they
may be more disposed to assent to a
rational remedy. 7'imcs.
