worthless fellow found loaGrg about
the streets last Thursday was placed in the
lookup 10y an officer. aid in a short time
after the key was turned on him smoke was
seen issuing from the building making
it appear very probablc that the rlsoner
hs fred the premises out of revenge. The
Are bell rang and soon a large crowd were
assembled on the ground. The lookup
being in the fire company's building the prop
erty of the Fire Department was taken out in
hurry Meanwhile tie prisoner was yelling
vociferously to be released from his suffo-
eating position, the room he was 10 being
filled with smoke. The door was broken
open and tie fellow came forth, having
been literally smoked out. 1t was found
that the prisoner had taken upon himself
the work of building q fire III the stove
with old straw, and the pipe not being in q
condition to draw very well, the result was
that shck and sitting smoke filled the
apartment and issued from every crevice in
buildisg. For time the matter looked as
if it would not end, as i. finally did, in
smoke, and there was 70 harm done.

City Treasurer.

By reference to another column it will
be seen that Mr.. William Schultz is can
didate for reelection to the office of City
Treasurer for the coming year. Mr.. Schultz
has made an accommodating faithful
and efficient treasurer, and discharged
the duties of the position to the satisfaction
of every body. This being so there can be
no good reason advanced why Mr. Schultz
should not be chosen to the office for anoth-
err term Mr.. Schu.e's style of doing bust
ness is best erinced by advancing from his
owl private funds, as he did a month or so
ago, tie amount Of the state tax due from
the city, when it was found impossible to
collect 1t in time from The tax rolls, thus not
only protecting the good name of our city,
but saving the taxpayers some expense and
trouble. Our citizens will be bat doing JUS
tlce to themselves by again electing Mr..
Schultz city treasurer, and we look for his
success before the people at the next mum
cipal election. .. u.#

Public Square.

There is a movment on foot looking to
the fencing, planting to trees and otherwise
improving that neglected spot known as
the public square in the First Ward. Every
holy sh ould be in favor of accomplishing
this object. b..
Since writing the above, the project
has assumed such shape that the early
completion of the work will be accom-
plished. At the meeting Of the Board of
Street Commissioners last Monday night,
an appropriation Of $3.50 was made for
the improvement Of the public square,
which sum, together with the private
subscription of $3.50 already raised, will
be sufficient to complete the enterprise.
Messrs. Skinner and Miller, with the
city Committee on Public Buildings, are
authorized to superintend the work which
will be commenced as soon as the weather
permits.

The fir t number of the Semi-Weekly
Inter Ocean will be issued on Monday,
March so. The constantly increasing de-
mand for that large class who do not desire
daily, and who are not content with the
weekly installments of news, has induced
this new venture. The endeavor will be
to make the semi-weekly edition such as
to ontain the best features of both daily
and weekly newspaper. Not less than
two pages will be devoted to telegraphic
news, and one page each to editorial discus
soHs and to com ercial reports. The re-
naming four pages will comprise cores
pondence from all parts Of the world, stor-
les, and miscellaneous articles, a Literary
department, farm and home department,
and such other matter as will make the
semi-weekly Inter Ocea interesting and in
structive to its readers of every condition
and occupation. Advertisements and local
news will occupy less space than in the
Daily, and proportionately more room will
be given to reading matter. The same
high standard that has Obtained for the
Daily and Weekly such an extended patron
age will be maintained. Let the people
first subscribe for and encourage their local
papers and then send their remittancss for
the Semi-Weekly Inter- Ocean.

Jefferson County Dairymen's Associa-
ton.

The Association met in the Good Tenn
plarS' Hall in Farmington, on Saturday,
March 14th. President Favile in the chair.
The following question was proposed for
discussion How Shall we make the COWS
that we have, give more milk, and make
the acres we have, keep more cows. D. NJ.
Aspinwall had found the feeding of green
corn 1odder had dried up his COWS ia the
summer. The fodder was made from sweet
corn. His neighbors who tried summe r
fodder made of green dent corn, found bet
ter results; would recommend the sweet
variety for winter fodder. He concurred
IN the idea that in order to lave the cow do
well in the summer, she must be carefully
looked after in the winter. Mr.. Hoising-
ton has dairy OF l6 cows which had paid
$50 each fed bis cows well, and watched
them close y to see that they kept up their
vigor. &. 3. Fargo had found that green
corn fodder, bran, and pumpkins paid well
as feed. His dairy consisted Of II cows,
nd paid $40 each. His cows had done bet
ter the past season than the year before. lie
had learned that the dairy resulted profita
bly, or not, in proportion to The amount of
close business like attention paid by the
ow: er. 1t is the man who makes the dali
~ just the same as in other business. Robt.
Fargo has two cows, to each Of which he
has fed pounds of bran per day, and
since January ls', they had M ade $40 worth
of butter, and he was firmly convinced that
our dsirymen did not pay sufficient atten-
ton TO the feed question. Several spoke
in advocacy of the theory that the COW
could only be made profitable by strict at
tention to her wants. Her vital forces
must be kept up vigorously. in order to
have good results. Unfortunately the late
ness of the hour prevented discussion upon
the last part OF the question. This is a
question OF great interest to the dairymen,
for but few are making their land support
near the lumber of cows they ought for
real profit. The Association then adjourn
ed subject to the call of the Secretary.
