ritiTJLTE basks do not fill so largo a
spaco In tbo financial world in this
country as In England but they nev-
ertheless do a large business nnd
eomo of them aro known the world
ovor by their oxtonslvo transactions
TnEUE has been Just as much Im-
provement of lato years In our farm
ttock as In tho implements with which
we cultivate our land and it will pay
tho farmer even bettor to keep up with
tho modern progress in this lino than
in any other
Bridge building a grand old art
has been revolutionized as have sc
many other industries and no doubt
in a general sense to its betterment
But the first consideration in all such
work must bo safoty to human life
Assurance in this regard must bo
doubly sure The pesalty exacted is
heavy and is sometimes paid by thoso
who plail as well as thoso who ox
ccuto
Not only among tho poor but
among thoso in moderate circum-
stances nnd thoso with wealth at their
command is tho food reform To
most people the only food reform they
Tinow of Is the familiar avoidanco of
tho apple when it is green and tho
cucumber when it is ripe Further
than that is boyond the domestic
pillars of Hercules Tho movement
is i the air howevor and sooner or
later will win its way everywhere
°
It is undoubtedly a f aet that much
of tho imitation In regard to our need
or tatter roads arises from those who
ido about upon bicycles and it is
kept up by them but the readiness with
which tho farmers fall into lino with
the pleasure Ecckcrs and the unani-
mity which they show would indicate
thatthoy had been waiting for a lead-
er rather than that they bad been
ignorant of tho losses occasioned by
ths bad roads or indifferent to them
Iauoe open spaces for public rocre
nUon grounds aro recognized as a
necessity of city Ufa This is shown
by tho fact that well equipped as
London has been in the way of public
parks In comparison with our own
cities the park area of tho Itritfsh
metropolis has been doubled in three
ears since the organization of tho
aw form of munioipal government

same tendency town rJ i liberal pro

The Irench engineers who wero
inployed to devise a plan for pre-
venting the terrible Alpine torrents
ted upon the theory that tho pres
nee of forests upon a surface would
prevent the formation of a torrent
while clearing would open the way to
their formation and to their progress
They assumed that tlio development
of forests would lead to the extinction
of torrents while their removal would
increase their violence and number
Aicorti ngij ihey adopted the plan re-
f r cd to auotc of planting the con-
tiguous iirfacc Tho results were
beyond their most eanguinc expecta-
tions Tho spring rains were held in
check by tbo abundant vegolation
Tho celebrated torrents which had
devastated tho alleys and driven
away tho dwellers in them wero sub
jucatcd to such an o tent that mllos
of country whici bad become almost
u wilderness aro once moro populated

which commences at an altitudo of

Century Ha Produced
New Yokk July 30 The Frcheit
the official organ of the anarchists
edited by the hign priest of auarchy
John Most came out Thursday with a
fourcolumn article on tho situation at
Homestead aad the shooting of Frick
Most admits tho authorship of the
article In its issue the week before
he denounced the Ho instead sinkers
for having drit en three of his agents
out of town and for attempting to
duck them In tho pond Thursdays
article was headed Fnckisra
Then it continued Down with
Frick We demand that he be
arrested tried and convicted of mur-
der He is the meanest man in the
nineteenth century A man like him
has no right to exist rrick is tbo
personification of everything that is
mean and his head is directed against
organized labor In tho history of
the working clashes thero has never
been a greater wretch than this capi-
talistic man as ho has grown ud from
the working class and ha always
shown himself against tho working
class He converts the sweat of the
workingman into gold which ho
shoves into tho pockets of the capi-
talists Ihe workingmen are only a-
mass to this wretch He thinks ho
can suck the blood out of them as he
likes Most goes on to say that FricK
regards organized labor whether revo-
lutionary or not as the slaves of hell
Frick only likes twolegged dogs
Ho showed it more than over through
the trouble at Homestead Never be-
fore has a capitalist shown himself
more bruUl or inhuman than did
Fries Do not think that this U the
first appearance of the monster in
this role Oh no tho wretch has
always kept his workingmen to the
starving point as a leech sucking the
blood from them For instance ut
the striko in tne coal regions where
Frick accumulated his 20000000
he has employed stalwart men to
work for 73 cents to 1 per day
They asked for an increase of 25 cents
a day and Frick shoved them aside as
if they wero after his life They went
on a strike and tne capitalists turned
them out of tnoir homes and gave
tnem the liberty of the birds In their
burning hunger for themselves wives
nnd children they had a parado and a
committee beseeched Frick for relief
Then he called the 1inKertons and in
the battle cloven workmen wero killed
and sixty ounded Frick is just the
man for the capitalists His hands
are stainod with tno blood of thoic
killed on the Cth of July He sent a
gang of linkertons to Homestead to
murdor tho workmen by the whole-
sale This person who is unwo thj
of the namo of man was slightly
shot and stabbed Saturday last bv
a young man of anarchistic principles
named Bergman Xhe wounds were
ju3l slight enough to show this
cuckoo the whv and wherefore

HOMEsTEVP Ij July 27 It is
quite likely that Hugh ODonnell will
resign the chairmanship of the ad-
visory committee and the indications
are that the committee is now casting
about for a new leader The break-
up is caused by a ref jsal of the cqin
mittee to approve an almost uncondi-
tional surrender in the fight on hand
ODonnell expressed himself as anx-
ious for a settlement even if ho had
to be sacritesa He authorized two
newspaper men F I iladaira of
New York and J Hampton Moore of
Philadelphia to see Superintendent
Potter and ascertain upon what
terms the old men could re-
turn to work When they executed
the commission ODonnell wanted
to bring them beforo the commit-
tee but that body would not admit
them This rebuff undoubtedly will
cause ODonnells resignation as be
said he would resign if his colleagues
did not indorse his course Madaira
called on Sunt Potter and wanted to
know upon what terms he would au
cept the old employes He said there
is no vindlctireness in their dealings
with the mea but they would not taico
back certain objectionable strife
makers tinder any circumstances No
names wero mentioned but he said
those against whom criminal charges
wero preferred woro among them
Even these might not be re-
jected if informations against
them proved incorrect He further
stated tbo men would not be
ijuestionea about membership in any
organization but would be required
to sign an agreement as individuals
fixing the scale of wages as based on
the 23 rate There woud be no
dealings with any association commit-
tee except as provided in the agree-
ment for a committee of workmen
and officials to meet quarterly and n
prices of billets No men now in the
employ of the company would bo dis-
charged it their u ork is satisfactory

cprang witnin about five feet of Frick
and quickly drawing a revolver pulled
the trigger Tho first cartridge did
not explode the second shot entered

downward passed to the outside of the
armpit The assailant nred again
and the ball entered the muscle on
the left side of the neck and passed
around to a lougmont under the rignt
ear whero it was later reached by a
probe At this time Eiisbman
clutcned the pistol barrel and turnod
tno muzzle upward as another ear
tudge exploded the ball entering tne
plastering The desperate man now
drew a dagger Frick seeing the
gleam of steel jumped between the
men and seized the mans arm The
latter freed himself from Irishman s
grasp and plunged the dagger into Mr

man in an interview with a reporter
in reply to a question as to whetner
or not holUedin Pittsburg replied
Oh no I simply came here to kill
Frick It was not nn accident and I
have no hesitation in telling ou this
and it did not come into my head all
in an instant I asked myself Is it
worth while to sacrifice my life to kill
Frick I decided that it was I was
only one and my death would be noth-
ing at all compared with the happi-
ness of the thousands of workers who
would bless ray memory Why aid
you want to kill Mr F nck rather than
other rich men Oh well a begin-
ning had to be made somewhere and
Desides Frick was more prominent
just now as an oppressor of Ihe poor
than anv other capitalist in the coun-
try On how happy I would oe to
know that he is dead Do you under-
stand I wanted to kill Fries I
came here to uo so I am sorry I did
cot kill him at once Now I want

CLAIMS FOR INDIAN DEPREDATIONS
Will be Settled by the lloverument
and Jlanj Texans Come In
for suuf sums
Washlvgtox July 30 As mcr
tioned In these dispatches somo time
ago an appropriation was passed by
both houses to pay judgments len
dcred against the government for the
depredations of Indians Tho attor-
ney general in obedience to instruc-
tions contained in a resolution of con-
gress transmitted to that body a list
of judgments recovered on these In
dian depredation claims and the
money was forthwith appropriated to
pay them Among the number we
find the following recovered by Texas
people who will be paid out of the ap-
propriation A B Medlam 555
James C Loring 2S00 Henry A
Whaley J22C0 A J Henson S00
C W Coopor 2500 John Honsloy

sell 17720 James C Loring 2015
The residences of the parties are not
given in the report ol tne attorney
general There may be other Texans
who have recovered judgment as
theru aro many claims from them for
Indian depredations
Still Filibustering
Washington July 29 The oppo-
nents of the fair appropriation are
still filibustering but the best impres-
sion is that they will jet have to give
in Filibustering has rarely Deen
successful in preventing legislation
Tho most it ever did was to secure a
compromise Twothirds of the sen-
ate voted for the measure and a ma-
jority of the house concurred in the
appropriation amendment put on
by the former body It is altogether
unlikely that this majority will bacK
down There is all sorts of talk
about tho effect a failure to pass tnis
biil would have upon the proper ad-
ministration of the government It
is openly stated that if the bill
is defeated Harrison would < aU
a special session and give as a
reason that a Democratic house hau
refused to appropriate money to carry-
on courts carry on great woncs pro-
tect the courts with light houses etc
It looks as if the antiappropriation
men are fishing for a compromise
Soveral of a sort have been made
Ono of them is to guarantee the re-
turn of the monev Ihia is tne very
thing the southern Democrats do not
want because they do not cesire
to bo placed in the attituae of
loaning money to a fair when the
farmers aro asking the government
to loan monev The compromise
thej would agree to is that tne gov-
ernment coin f20 000 100 for circula-
tion nnd from tnis coinage get aoout
6000100 profit 50001 Ol of vvnicr
would go to the fac but he oouo

Detroit News
Xlie followingparagraph which
ap-
peared in the News a short time ago
furnished the basis of this information
a case that wiis so wondcrfnllv re-
markable that it demanded further ex-
planation It io of sufficient import-
ance to the New readers to report it
to them fully It vas so important
then that it attrnctcd considerable at-
tention at the time The following is
the paragraph it question
C It Xortbrup for twentyeight
years one of tho best known merchants
on Woodward aenue who as sup-
posed to he dying last spring of loco
motor ataxia or creeping paralysis
has secured a new lease of life and re-
turned to worl at his store The
disease has always heen supposed to be
Incurable but Mr Xorthrx > psconditlon
is greatly improved and It looks now
as if the grave would b cheated of its
rrey
bince that time Mr Northrop has
steadily improved not only in looks
but iu condition till he has regained
his oldtime etrength
It had been hinted to the writer of
this article who was acquainted with
Mr Xorthrop that this miraculous
change had l > eeii wrought by ft very
simple remedy called Dr Williams
Wuk Tills for Pale lvcople When
asked about it Mr Xorthrop fully veri-
fied the statement and not oalj sobut
he had taken pains to inform any ono
who was suffering in a similar manner
when he heard of any such case
Mr Xorthrop was enthusiastic at the
result in his on n case of Dr Williams
Pink ltlls It was a remedj that he
had heard of after he had tried every-
thing he could hope to give him re-
lief He had been in the care of the
best physicians who did all they could
to alleviate this terrible maladj but
without any avail He had given up
hope when a friend in Lock port 2s
Y wrote him of the case of a person
there who had been cured in similar
circumstnnces by Dr Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People The person
cured at Lokport ha t obtained Lis
information respecting Dr Williams
Pink Pills from an article pub-
lished in the Hamilton Out Times
The case was called The Hamilton
Miracle and told the story of n man
In that < itv vv ho afier SI most im ivdi
ble suffering was pronounced bv the
most eminent rhysiciaus to be incura-
ble and permanently disabled I v
had spent hundreds of dollars ir all
sorts of treatment and appliances
only to be told in th end that there
was no hope rt > r him and that cure
was itnpossih e The person alluded
to Mr John Marshall of S
I lttle W ilium stri et Hfiimlloc Out i
wis a member of the Uoyil Templars
of Tcmperane and iftcr having b en
pronounced permanentlr disabled and
incurable by the phjsu ans was ptd
theS10K disabihu insuiancc provided
h the order for its members in mu li
eases l or rears Mr Marshall had been
ntterly helpless and as barely a e
to drag himself around his house with
tt aid of ciutchfs Hi
MitN were almost iinbtaialile
an I h s life i i a mnkn to him u lien
at Inst relief came Some months
after he had een paid the disnbiliU
claim he heard of Dr Williams PinWj
Pills and wasinduecd totrj them Th
result was miraculous almost from the
outset an improvement was noticed and
in a few months the man whom inedi j
eal C3peits had said was iDcurabr
was going about thccitv healthier and
rtronger than before Mr Mirshatl
was so well known m Hamilton that
all the city newspaper wrote up his
wonderful recovery in detail ami it
was thus as before stated that Mr
Xorthrop came into po ession of the
information that led to his equally re-
markable recovery Urn could scarce-
ly conceive aia c more hopeless than
that of Sir Xoithrop His injnrv
steep
flight of stairs which were at the
rear of his store His head and spine
were severelj injured He was picked
ip and taken to his home Creeping
piralysis very soon developed itself
and in spite of the mr st strenuous ef-
forts of friends an I pin slcians the ter-
rible ntlliction fastend itself upon
lura For neaily two vears he was
perfectly helpless He coubl do
nothing to bupport his strength
in the least effort He had t >
be wheeled about in an invalids
chair He was weak pale and fasti
bulking when his timelv information
came that veritablj snatched his life
from the jaws of death Those who
nt that time saw a feeble old man j
wheeled into his store on an invalid s
chair would not lecognized the mau
now so great is the change that Dr i
Williams Pink Pills have wrought
When Mr Xoi throp learned of
the remedy that had cured
Mr Marshall in Hamilton and the
person in Lockport he pioctued a sup
pi v of Dr William s 1 ink PiMstliriMiLh
Messrs Itassett A I Hommedien ii
Woodward avenue and from the out-
set found an improvement He faith j
lullv adhered to the use of the remedv i
until now he is completely rest ued
Mr Northrop declares that there can be
nodonht as to Pink I ills being the cause
of his restoration to health as all othei
remedies and medical treatment left
him in a condition rapidlv going from
bad to worse until ot last it was de-
clared there was no hope for him and
he was pronounced incurable He was j
in this terrible condition wnen he be1
gan to use Dr William slink Pillsaud
they have restored him to health j
Mr Northrop was asked what was
claimed for this wonderful remedy
and leplied that he understood the1
proprietors claim it to lie a blued
builder and nerve restorer suppl > ng
in a condensed form all the elements
necessarv to enrich the blood restore
fihaltered nerves and drive out disease
It is claimed by the proprietors that
Pink IMls will cure paralysis rheuma-
tism sciatica palpitation of the heart I
headache and all diseases peculiar to
females loss of appetite dizziness
sleeplessness loss of memory and all
diseases arising from overwork men-
tal worry loss of vital force etc
I want to say said Mr Northrop
that I dont have much faith in patent
medicines but I cannot saj too much
in praise of Dr Williams Pink Pills
Ihe proprietois however claim that
they are not a patent medicine in the
sense in w Inch that t rm is used but a
highly scientific prepiration the re-
sult of years of careful study and e
penment on the part of the propria
tors and the pills were snceessfullv
used in private practice f r vears be-
fore being phicetl for general ale Mr f
Xorthrop declares that he is a living
example that there is nothing to e < pjal j
these pills as n cure for nervt diseases
