Government Seed Testing.
The act of Congress making appro
priations for the Department of Agri
culture for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1899, under the heading "Botanical
Investigations and Experiments, Div
ision of Batany," contains the follow
ing clause:
The Secretary of Agriculture is here
by authorized to purchase samples of
seed in open market, test same and
when found not to be up to standard
he may, at his discretion, publish the
results of these tests, together with
the names of the seedsmen by whom
the seeds were sold.
The purchase of seeds for the tests
authorized under this act will begin
July 1, 1898. It will be the aim of the
Department of Agriculture in carrying
out this law to put a stop to the sale of
seed so poor as to make probable a
positive injury and loss to the pur
chaser, thus giving protection on the
one hand to the farmer and gardener
and on the other hand to the honor
able seedsman and seed dealer.
Further information, including a
table of the standards of purity and
germination and a list of the most in
jurious seeds likely to occur in com
mercial seed, may be obtained from
the Department upon application.

The Mortgage is Still There.
A Clarion exchange tells of a man
who mortgaged his farm to buy his
wife a pair of ear-rings. The wife took
in washing to pay the interest on the
mortgage, but the first job she lost one
of the "sparks" in the suds, whereupon
she tried to hang herself in the barn,
but the rope broke and she fell on a
SSO Jersey cow and broke its back.
Her husband then undertook to shoot
the cow to put it out of its misery, but
the gun burst and destroyed his eyes,
and his wife ran away with a lightning
rod peddler. The mortgage is still
there.
Thomas Pelkey Home.
Thomas Pelkey, who headed a large
party from this place to Alaska, about
two years ago, returned home yester
day and surprised his family and
friends. Mr. Pelkey has been very
successful in the gold fields and reports
all Emporiumites prosperous. Mr.
Pelkey will remain here about two
weeks, after which he will return to
San Francisco to transact some busi
ness. He has not yet decided whether
he will return to the Klondike or not.
The balance of the Emporium party
will return home this summer and fall.
He has many valuable specimens of
gold from his mines. "Tom," as his
friends call him, seems glad to get back
to Emporium and friends.
Driftwood Locals.
(From our regular corrcapondeut.)
DRIFTWOOD, June 22, 1898.
The one flag-staff in town from which "Old
Glory" should float is the one on the public
school building, yet that staff remains as devoid
of adornment as though nothing had occurred in
this great country of ours to call for the unfurl
ing of the stars and stripes.
The celebration here on the Fourth of July
will be a scorcher. The committee in charge
has prepared a program that takes up every
minute of the day and far into the night. Ora
tions, parades, fire works, baloon ascension,
bicycle races, foot races, base ball games, danc
ing, and things that will give amusement to the
hundreds who are expected here on that clay.
Parks Geiger has resumed duty in the Low
Grade scale effice, after a week's absence occa

TROOPS ARE LANDING.
OFHCIAL DISPATCHES RECEIVED
AT WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, June '22.—Official
dispatches received to-night, by
ltoth Secretary Alger and Secretary
Long indicate that llie landing of
troops at Santiago was progressing
most favorably. The first landing
was effected at Daiquiri this morn
ing and met with comparatively
slight resistance. This was stated
in a dispatch received this evening
by Secretary Alger which though
brief was full of news and meaning.
It follows:
I'lava Del Este, June 22, Secre
tary of War, Washington, I). <'.
Off Daiquiri, Cuba. June 22. —
Landing successful. Very little,
if any resistance. (Signed,)
8H AFTER.
Shortly after Secretary Alger re
ceived this dispatch Secretary
Long received a more extended
cablegram from Admiral Sampson.
The text of the dispatch translated
is as follows:
"Landing of the army is pro
gressing favorably at Daiquiri.
There is very little if any resist
ance. The New Orleans, Detroit,
Castine, Wasp and Suwanee shelled
vicinity before landing. We made
a demonstration at Cabanas to en
gage the attention of the ememy.
The Texas engaged the west bat
tery for some hours. She had one
man killed. Ten submarine mines
have been recovered from the chan
nel of Guantanamo. Communi
cation by telegraph has been estab
lished at Guantanamo. (Signed,)
S.\.M I'SON.
Hiraculous Escape From Death.
For some time a number of young
lads have been in the habit of congre
gating among the board piles in C. B.
Howard & Company's lumber yard at
this place and every effort has been
put forward to break up the practice
by Mr. Henry Auchu, a member of the
tirm. Pears were entertained that the
boys would not only damage property
but fatally injure themselves.
Last Sunday evening the usual
crew of young lads congregated there
and commenced their mischief. Mr.
Auchu secreted himself on the top of a
board pile, waiting for the lads to ride
by on one of the lumber trucks. He
had armed himself with a large ten
inch dynamite fire cracker, intending
to frighten the lads. Hearing the lads
coming he lighted the cracker but it
exploded before he coukl throw it
from him, severely injuring his right
hand. Mr Auchu was alone and he
saw that he was severely injured and
must have immediate surgical aid.
He went to the mill, gave directions
to the watchman and called at the
residence of Dr. Heilman and requested
the doctor to come to his home at once
and dress his injury. Dr. Heilman
summoned Dr. Bardwell to assist him
and found that Mr. Auchu was very
seriously injured. His right thumb
was completely shattered and would
have to be amputated at the second
joint, the first linger at lirst joint and
second linger at second joint. The
wonderful nerve of Mr. Auchu was not
sufficient for this operation and he
was immediately placed under the in
fluence of ether and the amputations
made as above stated.
Mr. Auchu is doing nicely and
stands his misfortune with good cheer,
and is thankful that his life is spared.
No citizen of Emporium is more highly
respected than Henry Auchu and the
sympathy was very general.
Our Eirst Defeat.
Our first nine drove over to Austin
yesterday morning to play the return
game with the team from that place.
The Austin boys were too much for us
this time and at the close of the ninth
inning the score stood 3% to 12 in
their favor. It is to be hoped that
these two teams will have the oppor
tunity of coming together again on the
Glorious Fourth.
The Johnsonburg Breeze frays: Ed.
Johnson, of Driftwood, a young man
about nineteen years old, met with a
very painful accident here Saturday
afternoon while coupling cars. His
right arm was smashed just below the
elbow. He was taken to Dr. Palmer's
office where every effort was made to
save his arm. He was taken to the
Kane hospital Saturday.
Injured His Knee.
Robert Faucette, while engaged in
peeling bark for Thos. Dixon on his
Bobby's Run job last week, had the mis
fortune to seriously injure his right
knee. Though painful, the injury is
not considered serious and Mr. Faucett
expects to be able to resume his work
in a few weeks.

Booming Emporium's Celebration.
Mr. J. W. Clark is perambulating
around the country in a decorated
wagon (kindly loaned for the occasion
by J. H. Day, the enterprising grocer)
and billing every barn, shed and bill
board with flaming posters, announc
ing to the outside world that a "hang
up" celebration will be held in Empo
rium on July 4th.
Woodsmen are Scarce.
Pat McDonald is peeling 15,000,000
feet of logs this season. Although 200
men arc employed on the job, more
will be needed in order to get through
before the close of the season. Mr.
McDonald reports that men are very
scarce just now and that it requires
considerable hustling to secure enough
to insure a completion of the season's
cut. —Falls Creek Sun.
Death from Paralysis.
Miss Ada Jenkins, who came here
from Wyoming county, Pa., about a
year ago, died at the residence of her
sister, Mrs. Allen Russell, at nine
o'clock Saturday evening, of paralysis,
aged eighty years. The deceased was
a native of Wyoming county, and her
remains were forwarded to Tunkhan
nocli on Monday morning, to be laid
to rest near the scene of her childhood
home.
rtineral Sanitarium Destroyed.
The Parker Mineral Sanitarium
which was erected at Gardeau about
six years ago, by Col. N. H. Parker, at
a cost of $20,000, was totally destroyed
by fire last Sati -day afternoon. The
(ire broke out at a few minutes before
five and in an hour and a quarter
nothing but a few rough sections of
the outer brick wall were left standing
to mark the spot where the beautiful
edifice had formerly stood. The fire
is said to have caught from a defective
flue, and owing to the rapid spread of
the flames, nothing but a few suits of
furniture on the ground floor were
saved. The insurance on the building
is estimated at about $7,000.
Haccabee Reception.
Gladiola Hive, of Emporium, gave a
reception and entertainment to
the Sir Knights of Goodwill Tent, at
their lodge rooms last Thursday even
ing. To say it was immense would be
using a very modest term. The officers
of the L. O. T. M.and K. O. T. M.
marched into the lodge room, escorted
by the lady guards, and having as
sumed their respective places the Lady
Commander sounded the gavel for
order.
Mrs. C. L. Butler delivered the Ad
dress of Welcome to the Sir Knights.
Some very excellent and fitting reci
tations were delivered by young ladies
and several children. The solos by
the Misses Hamilton and Hacket con
tributed largely to the success of the
program. Sir Knight Commander, C.
L. Butler, in a few brief remarks paid
a glowing tribute to the Lady Macca
bees. Sir Knight Record Keeper Mc-
Narney's remarks on the boys and
girls was interesting, and the comments
by Sir Knight Dickinson on the "Find
ing of the Lost Rib" elicited much
merriment. Next was the drill of the
lady guards, which commanded the
admiration of all, after which refresh
ments were served; then all participat
ed in a grand cake walk and then re
tired to their respective homes, feeling
they had spent a very pleasant even
ing. The ladies of Gladiola Hive are
very energetic and deserve the hearty
co-operation of all the Knights. Time
and space do not permit me to make
mention of all who filled an active part
but suffice to say each and every one
acquitted themselves nobly.
Yours truly,
A GUEST..
