CEIVESTHE NOMINATION
RE-
V'llOM THE PEOPLE’S PARTY.
He Win Decide by Saturday as to

Ination-The Executive Com

No Candidates for County
Offices.
Yesterday the executive committee of
the I’eopli’s party of Clarke county
Eliminated Mr. Geo. P. Brightwell as
the candidate for Representative
ag liust Col. W. J. Morton, the Demo
cratic nominee.
This is a new code of procecdure, for
a ii miuiitee to name a can iidate wiih-
i,ut the endorsement of a primary or
convention; but it is presumed that the
author ty had been confeired upon the
by the county convention.
Mr. Brightwell at first declined
positively to make the race, but oo be
ing insisted to do so, he informed the
c iimniitc- 1 that he would cinsider the
m uter and give a final answer Satur
day.
A repot ter saw Mr. Brightwell, who
said :
"Y«», the executive committee have
teuVred me the nomination.”
•• W.ll you accipt it?”
■ I have not decided as yet, whether
I will make the race or not. Of course I
appriciate the confidence the people
liave reposed in me in offering mo the
i nice; but I am no politician, nor do I
care eo enter politic!.”
• if I iccept the nomination I shall let
the executive committee know by next

Mr. Brightwell claims to be an old
t'lrie Democrat, and says that his prin-
op'es are the principles of old time

PinsBuno, July 26. —In regard to ths
general situation of affairs everything
seems quiet. Fast mail express No. 7,
west bound on the Pennsylvania road,
R RPR '«FNT A TIU17 ! mad e » stop at the station not indicated
KtrK ^IN.AUVt,. onit8 BchedQleg . ThIs traia doesnot
carry passengers, but this time there
were two mysterious looking day
coaches on the rear of the train. The
blinds of the windows were drawn
closely and the doors at both ends of
the couches wore securely locked. As
the train neared Swissville station, near
the encampment of the provisional
brigade, it came to a stop. The day
coaches were shifted to a siding in the
front of the station and the train passed
on to the city. After the train had
gone the doors of the cars were opened
and a number of men, nearly two hun
dred in all, alighted.
It was whispered among spectators at
once that the men were non-union
workmen bonnd for the Carnegie steel
mills at Homestead. The surmise proved
to be correct, as the entire body march
ed down the road toward the camp of
the Fourteenth regiment. The steamer
Little Bill was moored at a landing near
City Farm station, apparently waiting
to carry the men over the river. The
men are from Philadelphia, New York
and Boston, aud many are said to be
skilled iron and steel workers.
A man has been arrested here whom
the officers assert to be Bergman’s com
panion, but great reticence is observed
concerning him.
O’Donnell has been released on bail. -
The Plot Keveuled.
Two men have been arrested here
from whom a better knowledge of Berg
man was obtained. One was Caspar
Kuold, a workman in Tyler & Dean’s
wire mill. Knold says that Bergman
came to him on July 14 with a letter of
introduction from John Most. Berg
man had no friends and Knolil sheltered
him until lust Thursday, when he left
and on Friday Knold purchased for him
a ticket to Chicago aud separated from
him at the station gate, where Bergman
was to take the traiu. A search of
Knold’s house shows him to be a rank
anarchist A quuutity of incendiary
literature was found.
Kuold admitted to tbo police that he
had received several letters from Most,
concerning Bergman and that Most told
him that Bergman was a bad man. He
said that Bergman represented to him
that he was in seurch of employment
and claimed that he knew nothing of
the intended assassination.
The way in which the police obtained
the clew to Knold was through a letter
sent from a man in Long Branch to
Berginan, in care of Knold. The letter
contained $6. Superintendent O’Mara
has been wired to have this man arrest
ed. The man with the police will not
divulge his name. The police authori
ties are convinced now that the at
tempted assassination of H. C. Frick
was an auarchist plot that may be as
great in scope as that for which Spies
and his companions were hanged. They
have the names of a number of persons
in New York, Long Brunch, Hoboken,
and other places, whom they think were
implicated, and telegrams have been
sent to have them arrested. Until they
are in custody their names will not be
made public, as the police think th6
publication would defeat the ends of
justice.
Inspector McKeeley says they will be
able to show that Most was interested
in the affair.
Proud of III* Work.
Bergman talks occasionally and shows
considerable interest in learning how
his act in shooting Frick is regarded by
the people. When he heard that Friok
was doing well and would probably re
cover, he said he was sorry. He told
the warden of the jail that he was born
in St. Petersburg aud was educated at
the gymnasium of one of the leading
colleges of St. Petersburg. He wus sat
isfied that he had many sympathizers,

A Commission Merchant's
the Popular Lime Method.
The lime method is the most popular
mode of preserving eggs where large '
quantities are to be kept an indefinite
time. It must be told, however, that
limed eggs are by rio means as good as i
are fresh eggs, though these serve the I
cook’s purposes very well, provided they i
are not boiled. For custards, cake and
the like, limed eggs figure conspicuous
ly. In reply to numerous queries is here
given in full the advice of a commission
merchant ou the pickling process:
To make a pickle in which to pre
serve eggs use strictly pure stone lime,
fine, clean salt and pure water in the
following proportion: Two quarts of
salt, sixty gallons of water aud one
bushel of lime. The stronger the lime
water and freer from sediment the bet
ter. Slake the lime in a part of the
water and then add the balance of the
water and salt. Stir well three or four
times at intervals, and then let stand
until it is well settled and cold. Either
dip or draw the clean pickle into the
cask or vat in which it is decided to pre
serve the eggs. When the cask or vat
is fillod about fifteen or eighteen inches
deep, put in eggs alxrat one foot deep.
Spread over them some pickle that is a
little milky in appearance, made so by
stirring up some of the very light par
ticles that settled last, and continue this
as each foot of eggs is added. When
the eggs are within about four inches ef
the top of the cask or vat cover them
with factory cloth and spread on two or
three inches of the lime that settles in
working the pickle. It is of the great
est importance that the pickle be kept
continually np over this lime. For put
ting the eggs into the pickle it is con
venient to have a tin basin punched full
of holes and large enough to hold six or
eight dozen eggs. The edges of the
basin should be covered with leather,
aud it should have a handle about three
feet long. Fill the basin with eggs and
put both under the pickle and turn tho
eggs out They will go to tho bottom
without breaking.
When the time comes to market the
eggs they must be taken out of the
pickle, cleaned, dried and packed. To
clean them seenre half a molasses hogs
head or something like it, filling it about
half full of water. Have a sufficient
number of crates to hold twenty or
twenty-five dozen eggs, made of slats
placed about three-fourths of an inch
apart. Sink one of the crates in the
half hogshead. Take the basin used to
put the eggs into the pickle and dip
them ont, turning them into this crate.
When full rinse the eggs by raising it
up and down in the water, and if neces
sary to properly clean them, set the
crate up and douse water over tho eggs. I
Then if any eggs were found when pack- j
ing from which the lime has not been
fully removed they should be laid out j
out and all the lime cleansed off before
packing. When carefully washed they
can be set but in a snitable place to dry |
in the crates. They should dry quickly
and bo packed as soon as dry. In pack
ing the same rnles should be observed as
in packing fresh eggs.
Early Potatoes.
Of all the early potatoes we have ever
tested, says the Philadelphia Farm Jour
nal, the early Ohio stands at the head
for curliness. It is superior in quality
and a good keeper, butit is a rather light
cropper on average soil, and has not be
come generally popular. The Crown
Jewel, illustrated herewith, is a seed
ling of the Ohio, about as early, more
prolific and a more vigorous grower. In
color, which is a flesh tint, it is like the
Ohio and Hebron, bnt the tubers are
longer than the parent variety and slight
ly flattened. For a first early potato we
have fonnd nothing superior to the
Crown Jewel.
To the same type and class belong
Burpee’s Extra Early, an excellent po
tato. A new variety of the Early Rose
type, but more vigorous in growth and
more productive, is the Farmers’ Alli
ance. For a general crop this new va-

L
not he eradicated. A correspondent,
writing from the Agricultural college at
Guelph, Canada, in The Ohio Farmer,
says: “Ragweed maybe eradicated by
the application of certain principles to
the ordinary processes of cultivation
rather than by specific modes that may
be laid down. These are: 1. Drop
out of the rotation such crops as ripen
along with the ragweed. This means
that red clover seed should not bo
grown on smitten fields. But it would
not hinder the growth of hoed crops, as
com and beans and field roots, providing
these were kept clean in the autnmn. 2.

tion. This one means of fighting rag
weed will do more to effect its destine

CROWN JEWEL POTATO,

favorable opinion of the Alliance, sayB

a potato with a white skin will find the
Standard equal in every respect to the

sell so well as an early potato, and is

mov«d sr« gang plowed all th« ragweeds

they have not been ripened. Harrow

are lying hi the ground to germinate.
Spring cultivation is of little or no
avail hi fighting ragweed. 3. Mow the
fields that have lieen sown to grass
jnst lieforo any of tho seeds ripen. Mow
them closely ami leave whatever
vegetation that lias fallen to lie upon
the ground. Give meadows the same
treatment. This will not interfere with
pasturing them. 4. Give attention to
pastures and fence corners. The former,
if pastured with sheep early enongh in
the season, will not give trouble, but if
necessary these also may be run over with
mower. Fence corners should be mown
twice; that is to say, if the first entting
has been done at the usual time. 5. Grow
hoed crops to the greatest possible ex
tent, and make sure that none of the
seeds of ragweed are allowed to ripen in
them. 6. Use the mower on the high
ways at the right season. It is also ad
vised that the neighboring farmers co
operate in the extermination of this weed
pest, of which there are several varie
ties. The one shown in the cut is the
most troublesome. The tenure of ma

Insects In Stored Grain.
The transformation and habits of the
grain moth, black weevil and red grain
beetle are about the same. The eggs
are laid within the grain, both before
and after it is gathered, and the mature
insects come forth in three to six weeks
after the eggs are laid. Their depreda
tions are not confined to any one cereal,
and by their work they cause a marked
decrease in weight. Snlphnr or salt
sprinkled in husked corn will tend to
drive the insects away.
The best remedy for grain insects is
bisulphide of carbon. For this a “quar
antine” bin should be biult and the grain
treated in it as gathered. The amount
of bisulphide needed varies With the
tightness of the bin, bnt as a rule 1
ounce of bisulphide to 100 pounds of
grain is sufficient. As the bisulphide is
explosive, all lights from matches,
cigars and the like should be kept away
until all odor from the fames lias passed
off. Insects in mills should be treated
with bisulphide, beginning in the base
ment and going upward. To destroy
all insects in*the spring with bisulphide
in or near the empty granary will tend
to decrease any damage done the next
fall and winter.—Mississippi Station.

Fall Flowing for Cutworms.
Mr. W. H. Ragan, secretary of the

the experience of a fanner who took ad
vantage of some unusual weather in
February to break a piece of clover sod
for corn. When about two-thirds
through breaking the field, of say ten
acres, the recurrence of more timely
February weather caused him to sus
pend further operations until in April,
when the other third of the field was
broken and all similarly prepared and
planted. The corn on that portion
broken in February was a complete
stand, yielding a fine crop, while that on
the late broken part was almost wholly
destroyed by cutworms—indeed, having
to be replanted entirely, and thus yield
ing only a partial crop of late corn and
immature fodder. '
