Agsd Farmer Killed.
An aceide t occu:rad near New Balti
more, on Wednesday in which James.
Ctllahan, Sr., was killed. Mr. Callahan
had d riven to New Baltimore in a sleigh,
and was returning to his home some miles
away. The road, immediately after leav
ing town, leads up an ascent for about a
mile, and while moving up tbe narrow
road slowly, a runaway team with a sled
loaded with wood dashed around a curve
and crashed into his sleigh. The vehicle
was pplit into fragments and Mr. Calla
han was thrown to one tide of the road
with much force.
Mr. Callahan was struck on the head,
and when tbe frightened driver of the
team came running down the hill be
found life nearly extinct. He hastened
fjr help, but the old man was dead when
assistance arrived.
The team which caused the disaster
had been left standing by the driver
while be entered a house, and had walkf d
off on the homeward journey. When the
top of the bill was reached the weight
of their load urged them to faster and
s'.ill faster speed, w hich meant annihila
tion to anything they met in the descent.
Work of Spies Curing the War.
Official reports of all commanding
officers of the navy during the war have
l-ean compiled aud published by the navy
department. In the record of tbe naval
aar board an unknown hero is brought
o light in tbe person of Eusign H. H
Ward, who at lha beginning of the war
volunteered for secret service duty.
Withio a week after tbe declaration of
war Ensign Ward disguised himself and
went into the heart of the enemy's coun
try, making hia headquarters at Cadiz,
the principal Spanish naval station, and
informing the navy department here of
te strength of the Spanish naval vessels
and tbeir movements. Then he went to
the West Indies and reported everything
that was going on tbere of importance to
tbe American navy. Next be went in
disguise Vi Porto Rico, where be waa ar
rested as a spy. By adroitness he secur
ed his release, aud escaping to San Juan,
cabled the navy department a full ac
count of the state of the defenses thtre
aud the preparations making for tbe re
ception of tbe Spanish aquadron under
Cervera.
While Ward was in Porto Ilico, Ensign
Back, another attache of tbe navigation
burea i, was on the shores of lh,e Mediter
ranean in disguise watching every move
of the squadron of Admiral Camara,
which started f r tbe Pbinppiites, but
turned back.
Admiral Dewey was told long before
the declaration of war, on February 23,
10 days after tbe destruction of tbe
Maine: "In the event of war with Spaiu
your duly will be to see that the Spanish
squadron doe not leave tbe Asiatic coast,
and then offensive operations in the Phil
ippines." Admiral Howell, then in the
Mediterranean with hia eqntdron, was
told to wait in neutral waters for order",
and tbe ships in the Booth Atlantic were
Instructed to move northward, so aa not
to excite suspicion.
On August20 Admiral Dewey aent a dis
patch t Washington tba.'.. ended thus :
"I trust it may not be necesaary to orer
me to Washington. Should regret very
much to leave here while matters re
main in present critical ooudilion." Ap
parently the first suggestion of the or
ganization of the flying squadron which
was to divert Admiral Cam ara' a squadron
from iu voyage to Manila came from
Dewey, for in a dispatch of June 27 he
sajs;
"In my Judgment, If the coast of Spain
was threatened the squadron of the
enemy will have to return." And that
was exactly what happened.
Letters exchanged between Secretary
Lng and Rear Admiral Sampson show
that before the outbreak of the war
Sampson had worked out a complete plan
for the immediate red u -tion of Havana
with hia own squadron unsupported, and
was only prevented from carrying out
that plan by orders from the department,
which wished to protect the big warships.

1'rlnttsl for the purchaser.
On the opposite side of the page con
taining the foregning annoiiucement, the
' last lino of which seems to indicate that
1 the book was not deik-ned for general
circulation, Ixit had a select and favored
clientele, I find Ibe following striking as
surance :
"Whoever carries this book with him
is safe from enemies, visible or invisible.
! and whoever has this book with him can
j not dio nor be drowned in any wa
i ler. nor burn no in anv fire: nor can any
unjust sentence be passed upon bun. So
help me."
Iu the preface which introduces "The
Long Lost Friend," the author informs
bis reader that an introduction of this
sort is necessary "in order to meet tbe er
roneous views gome tneu entertain iu re
gard lo works of this chara.-ier. Tbe ma
jority," he adds, "undoubtedly approve
the publication and sale of such books,
yet some are always found who will per
sist iu denouncing them as something
wrong. This latter class," aays Hoh
iiiaun, "I can not help but pity for being
so far led astray ; audi earnestly pray ev
ery one who might find it in bis power to
bring them from oil tbeir way of error."
Here follows a vigorous apology by the
author for tbe publication ot bis mystical
work, which is of professedly religious
tone, together with the most positive as
severations that he is personally aware of
the sovereign and infallible virtue of the
"arts and remedies" which he presents
for the amelioration of aillicted believers,
vehemently asserting that be "could take
an oath at any time upon tbe fact of hav
ing successfully applied many of the pre
scriptions contained herein."
The book comprises lis pages, including
the index, w hich itself occupies 10 of tbe
pages. They are of small dimensions
live inches by three so that the volume
may be readily carried iu tbe pocket, and
it was evident that tbe well-thumbed
copy which came in:o my possession had
been so carried. Within these rude, un
couth covers are coutained no less than
2U0 separate and distinct "arts and reme
ri'1," along w ith household recipes, med
ical prescriptions, charms, talismans, div
inations, and every phase of sorcery or
defense against sorcery that the most im
aginative mind could eoncciveor fanciful
iuvention impose upon childish credu
lity. Tlitse arts, remedies, prescriptions,
charms and the like cover a most extra
ordinary range of subjects, from such
practical examples as tbe mending of
broken glass, tbe constituents of a good
eye-water or liniment, and proper meth
ods of forming a piaster, to the bidden
mystery of words to lie spoken while
making divinatory wands, the prevention
of witches from enchaining cattle, invin
cibility against bad men and evil spirits,
remedies against calumniation and slan
der, the spell landing of thieves, incendi
aries and assassins, and similar occult
and supernatural potencies. A very large
proportion of the arts and remedies refer
to agricultural aud domestic themes, the
care of live stock aud the safe guarding
of health, while tbere are others of pure
ly abstact mysticism and medieval sor
cery. And a singular aspect of this mar
velous combination is that paragraphs
reading apparently sensible and rational
alternste with others of the most gro
tesque and fantastic character. As al
ready said, a religious tone pervades
these pages, with but few exceptions, and
there are numerous scriptural quotation,
some iu Latin, and others in the quaint
English of the beginning of the century,
which, to the followers of Hohmann's
("reed, doubtless fortify his utterances to
an appreciable degree.
Here are a few examples of the more
mystical portions of Ibis peculiar publi
cation, which will servo to illustrate the
length to which avowal of and faith in
witchcraft and the supernatural extends
iu this latter day of modern civilization
and refined enlightenment:
"A good remedy against calumniation
or slander If you are calumniated or
slandered to your very skin, to your very
flesh, to your very bones, cist it back
upon the false tongues. Take olf your
shirt arid turn it wrong side out, and then
run your two thumbs along your body,
close under tbe ribs, starting at the pit of
the heart down to the thighs."
"A remedy for epilepsy, provided the
subject had never fallen into tbe fire or
water Write reversedly or backwards
upon a piece of paper 'It is all over!'
This is to be written but once upon the
paper, then put into a scarlet red cloth,
and then wrap it in a piece of unbleached
linen and bang it around the neck on the
first Friday of the new moon. The thread
with which it is tied must also be un
bleached." "Remedy for the whooping cough
Tbrust tbe child having the whooping
cough three times through a blackberry
bush without speaking or saying any
thing. Tbe bush, however, must be
grown fast at the two end-, and the cbi d
mast le thrust through three limes, that
is to say, from tbe same side it was thrust
through in the first place.
"Remedy to destroy bots or worms in
h'Tsea You inu:.t mention the name of
the horse and say: 'If you have any
worms I will catch yon by th fort bead.
If they be white, browner reel tbey shall
and must now all be dead.' You must
shaUe the head of the horse three times,
and pass your hand over his back three
limes to and fro.
There are a hundred or more admoni
tions contained iu tbe pages of the bowk.
Here you may find remedies for hyster
ics, precautions sgainst injuries, assur
ances how to walk and step securely in
ail cases, passages which tell how mortal
enemies may be made devoted friends by
simple cotjuratlous; for the banishment
of fears ; to cause malefactors to stand still
iu tbeir tracks; to remove wens during
the crescent moon ; for gaining a worthy
suit at law: benedictions to prevent fire,
and methods lo extinguish fire without
water; charms and talismans against mis
haps and dangers in the bouseand agxinst
evil influences of every sort. What does
Dot ibis remarkable work, contain?
All or nearly all the passages are reli
gious in toue; most cf them are illumin
ated by cburchly emblems. But here is
one that stands out in startling contrast
with the rest:
"To win every game engaged in Tie
the boart of a bat with a red silken string
to the right arm, and you will win every
gains at cards you play."
No scriptural commeutor religious em
blem is attached to this last injunction.
These are examples of the Hohmanu
philosophy aa it wss expounded in the
year of our Lord, 1S19, at Rosenthal, near
Reading, Pa.

Wheeler, spared a word for l. Is daught

the President evinced a lnwntifol tact,
and a', tli same time expressed the aetise
of the whole American people.
Another gum of oratory was General
I.awton's with a bit of natural spirit iu
behalf of the army ; amid great applause,
ho said : "I am not an orator; I am a
H-.Hicr; I was not a hero; I am a regular;
I a n one of the Iri irK) regulars sent to
Cults. On behalf of that part of the army
I commanded, I thank you, people of
Alabama." And nothing could have
beeu at once more felicitous and more
just than Secretary Long's olmervution
that beside Wheeler and IIoImou there
was another Alabamian who had done
great service toward the success of the
war his predecessor in the navy depart
ment, Hilary Herbert, of Montgomery.
Altogether, the Montgomery day was a

"For many years I was afflicted with a
milk leg, and few years ao it broke out
In a sore and spread fromlny loot to my
knee. I suffered gnat agony. II would
burn and Uch all the time and discharge
great deal. My health was good with
the exception of this sore. I tried a great
many kinds of salve, but lome would
irritate the sore so that I could hardly
stand tbe pain. I could not go near tbe
fire without suffering intensely. Someone
sent me papers containing tcstimouials ol
cores by Hood's Sarsararilln, snd I told
my husband I would like to try this med
icine. He sot me a bottle and I found it
helped me. I kept on tat ing it until my
limb wss completely healed. I cannot
praise Hood's Sarsaparilla enough for the
great benefit It has been to me. It

Epitob Hkrai.p:
We are having a nice, clear w inter no
far, with only a little snow not nearly
enough to make sleighing nearly all the
time bright, clear sunshine during toe fcO
Ci led blizztrd in the Northwest, and no
one suffered particularly; but when the
storm reached the Eist we heard of casu
alties and deaths galore. The poor bliz
zard stricken East has our sympathy.
A North Dakota farmer dropped dead
while haying last week. His death, of
c turse is to lie regretted, but it is some
thing of a "card" for North Dakota that
har farmers were haying on tbe days
when low a, Kansas and the other South
ern States were aillicted with the worst
snow storms in years. Yet such is the
case. Come to North Dakota and live
easy, comfortable and happy.
Fanners have had no occasion to feed
as yet. Stock pastures on tbe prairie, and
is doing very well. Iits of horses have
not been iu tbe arn this winter, and tbe
indications are that tbey will not ueed to
be. F.
