Rurglaries in Davenport.

Wednesday night, the house of John
Mcbride, corner of 10th and Rock Island
streets, Davenport, was burglarized, but
the thief did not get much. At noon
yesterday thief was caught in the house OF
of Aaron Chandler. on Cass street, that
city, who is supposed to be the same fellow
who entered McBride's house, as he got in
through a cellar window at both places
At Chambers, the fellow had called there
in the morning and asked for something to
eat. Mr.. C's son told him the family
was not at home. and he could give him
nothing. 1t is supposed the fellow laid
around the neighborhood until he saw the
boy leave near noon on an errand, when he
effected an entrance into the house by
slipping the bolt of the outside cellar doc!
and then finding his way up stairs. He was
in an upper room when Mr.. Chandler anG
his son returned, who came upon hin
right in the middle of his work. He had
lot of silver ware out and was rummaginG
through the drawers, when be was captured
He waived an examination, and is now il

The steamer Clinton came down this
morning, and while loading freight on our
levee, the mate, Zach Best, directed four
of the deck hands to load huge piece of
timber. Two negroes and two white men
seized hold of it, the negroes being at one
end while the white men carried at the
other. One of the negroes attempted to
shirk carrying his share, and as the timber
was too heavy for his partner to carry
alone, he dropped his end. When il fell
to the ground, one of the white men let 20
thus leaving the whole weight upon the
shoulder of Mike Schmidt, his partner. He
was borne to the ground under the weight
Of the timber and his back and left shoulder
were badly sprained and bruised, though
no bones were broken. He was carried to
the Cape Horn House, where DR.. Calf at.
tended him. He is still there. and viii
be all right in day or two.
The report that the timber was toe
heavy for four men to carry, but that the
mate said he would make them carry il
anyway" is not true-as the timber was
afterwards carried upon the boat by tha
number Of men. The Sinking negro wa,

him if he ever caught him playing thai
game again he'd break his head"

Yesterday afternoon-the l6th-as the

suddenly stepped upon the track few
yards ahead Of the engine. Isaac Blau-
welt, the engineer, sounded his whistle
and attempted to stop the train, At the
same time, his fireman, Johnny Boyle,
climbed out of the cab window and ran
along the foot-board to the front end OF
the engine. just as he got there the
pilot struck the man and threw him on
the front end. Boyle caught and held
him from falling off until the train could
be stopped. 1t was then discovered tina;

Whether those who are now looked upon
as leaders, who hold high position in public
affairs, wish it or not, it is inevitable that
the new questions will come up for discus
sion and decision.
Why should not public men of ability
welcome them? Why should not such
men rejoice and breathe freer at the
thought that real questions, real policies,
demanding knowledge and craftsmanship,
at last loom up? What if the old parties
shall go to pieces, or, as the Democratic
masses demand, that the Democratic party
shall lay aside dead issues and push for
ward to these new questions-is there not
abundant material for the construction of
new parties unless all this is now done?
Is it not clear that the old parties have
become useless to the country, the tools
of demagogues mainly, and deserving to
perish unless they progress with the
people and the times. Is it not work
worthy of statesman to de-
wise new and useful policies to
grasp the.situation and the bitter necessi-
ties of the country; to show that he csm-
prehends its wants, and to strike out boldly
for the needed remedies? Is there the
least doubt that the man who has the
courage, the knowledge and the patriotism
to do this will quickly gather a party
around him, and will not lack followers in
spired by his own purposes and his own
enthusiasm
The country demands a positive, ag-
gressiYe policy; a policy looking to its re-
lief from the general prostration of indus

removal of restrictive laws: designed to
enable us to sell our surplus manufactures
abroad and thus reopen the doors of our
workshops; framed With the sole end Of
freeing the hands of production, and with
statesmanlike comprehension of the
situation. The mau who comes to THU
work with little knowledge, with a mind
half made up. without enthusiasm and de
termination, had as we'll leave it alone,
he does not feel that the country suffers
and if he does not know why, his is not th'
leaders place, But let no one believ'
that the new questions can be pushed
down, There are men who vii
take care they are not Free government

Feed and Breed of Dairy Cows.

DR.. E. L Sturtevant, Of South Fran
ingham, Mass, makes the following
summary of conclusions at which he has
arrived on this subject, after many years
of study and practical experiments:
1. The production of butter is largely
dependent on breed.
3. There is structural limit to the
production of butter to each COW.
3. That, when COW is fed to this limit,
increased food cannot increase the prod.
uct.
A. That the superior COW has this
structural limit at a greater distance
from ordinary feed, and is more ready to
respond to stimuli than the inferior COW.
g. That consequently the superior COW
is seldom fed to her limit, and, as prac-
tical conclusion, increased feed with a
lot of COWS will increase the butter prod
uct, but if fed to an inferior lot of cows
waste can but be the result.
6. That the character of the food has
some influence on the character of the
butter, but even here breed influences
more than food.
z. That there is no constant relation
between the butter product and the
cheese product. .....,.,. ,.... -.,..
s. That the caseine retains constant
percentage, and that this percentage
does not appear to respond to increase
of food Iu w .s m1I. u
8. That the caseine appears to remain
constant without regard to the season.
10. That increase in the quantity of
milk is followed by an increase in the
total amount of caseine. rr
IL. That insufficient feed acts directly
to check the proportion of butter, and
has tendency to decrease the caseine
of the milk and substitute albumen.
10. The best practice of feeding is to
regulate the character of the food by the
character of the animal feed; feeding
superior COWS nearer to the limit of their
production than inferior cows; feeding,
if for butter, more concentrated and nu'
tritious foods than for cheese; feeding
for cheese product succulent material
which will increase the quantity of the
milk yield.
