From every part Of the coun-
ty you have communications in
your valuable paper, giving the
political views of the people of
each neighborhood where the
writers live. Perhaps it will in
terest your readers to hear from
this part of the county. At a
meeting of the west mill creek
turnverein, after the business
had been disposed Of, politics
was the topic. The members
of the Verein and good many
other voters resolved:
1. That we are proud of the
nomination of Hon. Seth Shop
ard, and that we will give him
our hearty support at the conf
ing election, believing that when
elected the right man will be in
the right place.
?. For governor we favor the
Hon. Jos. D. Sayers, the pro-
gressive democrat; the friend of
public education, and the man
who we believe will do his ut
most to suppress crime and
lawlessness.
The boosted surplus in the
treasury at the expense of pub
lie education is one of the OBJ
jections we have to the re-elec-
ton Of Gov. Roberts.

WATER pipe is now being
laid from the windmill to the

that the windmill will not have
sufficient power to force the wa

be short the philosophers can
furnish breeze as they are ex-

Brennan is well supplied with

TIME.-Mr. H. w. GRADER,
the jewelcr, during his recent
trip east bought of the Seth
Thomas clock company one of
their fnestregulators; the works
arc model of beauty and per-
fiction. The case is Of walnut
and over seven feet high, being
a splendid piece of cabinet
work. Mr.. GRADER also bought
a marine chronometer, which
has been rated so as not to vary
more than a quarter of a sec
ond in a week in addition TO
the regulator and chronometer
he has a transit instrument by
means of which he will be en-
abled to get and keep the ex-
act time at Brennan. The in
struments are as fine as any in
Texas which is saying a good
deal for Brennan. Mr.. Graber
has one of the most elegantly
fitted up jewelry stores in the
interior and carries one of the
largest stocks of goods in his
line outside of Galveston.

The BAwDs.-Thc papers
upon which the late Will f.
Garrett, deputy sheriff, arrested
the white prostitutes on Tues
day last have disappeared and
it became necessary to have
new warrants issued, which was
done on Thursday and some
half dozen or more women were
arrested and soon released on
"a fine, large straw bond"
Sheriff Hutchinson soon discov-
cred this and had the women
re-arrested. Now that the war
is inaugurated we would sug-
gest that it is hardly fair to ar
rest the white women and grant
immunity to the colored ones.
Let all be treated alike without
fear or favor.

ARREST AND ESCAPE. - In
Fridays BANNER the arrest, by
the sheriff, of six or seven white
women Of the town, was duly
made a matter of history. By
consent of the city authorities
they were imprisoned in the bas-
tile. Early in the morning it
was told all over town that "the
girls" were all out again. The
massive doors of the bastile are
locked on the outside with pen
itentiary padlocks = said to be
burglar proof. An examination
of the bastile revealed the fact
that the locks were fastened and
the ladies parlor entirely empty
with triling exception, it was
occupied by two pitchers, one
containing beer the other LEM
onade. The pitchers were tax
en- in about the same time the
girls were taken out. The mys-
terX mart of the nroceediucsisL
to find out who released the
prisoners, as they were under
charge of the sheriff. There is
five keys to the bastile but the
cusdonians ofthe keys deny any
knowledge of the escape. As
no one has been found who I'M
locked the door it is likely that
it was opened by spirits, but the
beer and lemonade got in by
human agency. Strange to say
an owner of the pitchers has
not been found. The sheriff did
not regard the affair as joke
and had his deputies go on the
hunt for the fugitives. By six
O'Clock yesterday evening five
of the girls" were recaptured
and locked up in the county |
jail, to which there is only one |
key. If they get out again it
will be by legal authority.

now one of the largest, as well
as best known, merchants in the

engaged in the wholesale groce-
~ and commission business at
Houston, where he has lately
completed and now occupies
one of the largest and most ele-
giant storehouses devoted eX-

his grocery business he makes a
speciality Of handling cotton, and
those making him shipments
may rely implicitly on his max
ing sales at the best prices and
sending prompt returns. Mr..
Clevelandbeing a thorough bus

RAISING Pigs.

My rule, says writer in the Ameri-
can Cultivator, is to Winter nothing but
breeding sows, since they can be Win
tered cheaply ON roots generally, keeping
quiet and holding their flesh well while
in that condition. l will give you my
experience one season with hogs. | had
thirteen breeding sows that brought pigs
during February and March l adver-
tised them for sale and received $500
for pigs alone that Spring, besides my
own supply. They raised nine pigs on
an average, the latter commanding that
year So each. One animal raised four
teen pigs. fed the sow on roots before
coming in, and buckwheat shorts mixed
with warm water, adding what milk and
slops we had to spare, while all agreed
that the pigs grew splendidly. l guard
ed against cold by spreading quantity
of horse manure and laying floor
thereon, then cutting straw with feed
cutter for bedding, as the pigs needed it.
| like straw better than old bedding for
sows when they drop their pigs, because
the latter is apt to be moist and unclean.
There is much to be said in favor of
raising hogs. One is the plan of allow
ing them to run among the fruit trees
through the Summer and Autumn.
Such a practice improves the fruit in
quality, and the hogs eat the fallen fruit,
which contains quantities of insects ger.
minating for the next years crop.
These animals also root up the turf and
manure the land without the cutting of
the roots of trees, as the plow is sure to
do in plowing the land. Hogs may also
be put to good use in killing out the
brakes in pastures where the plow can
not be made available. There are many
such fields where Lrakes are spreading
to an alarming extent, occupying valu-
able pasture lands | have often heard
the question asked, "How can we get
rid of the brakes I" Try hogs. Fence
off small patches at time and let the
hogs root out the brakes. Scatter
shelled corn among the brakes, and in
some cases make holes with q crowbsr
to drop in the corn, following with a
seeding of buckwheat if necessary, and,
when thoroughly subdued mix white
clover seed, orchard grass, red top, Ken
tucky .lue grass and timothy and stock
down for pasture.

Leafy June as a Battle Month.

June hasSeen pre-eminently month
of battles, and not few days in it seem
to have two and even three great bat
ties frequently occurring upon the same
day. On the lst, Lord Howe defeated
and almost destroyed the French feet
in 1894, and Napoleon left Paris to be
gin the fatal campaign of 1915. One
OF Admiral Blake's hardest ea.fghts
with Van Tromp commenced on the Sd,
and was prolonged during the whole of
the 4th, ending at length in the com
pletc triumph Of the British flag The
French capture of the Mamelon earth.
work at SeSastopol, one of the most
gallent exploits of the great siege, was
achieved on the 9TH. The 10th gives to
Russia the double honor Of Napoleon's
defeat at Heilsberg in 1907 and the cap
ture Of Khivs in 1873. The l4th has
the two.fold reuown of Cromwal''s final
defeat Of Charles l. at Nasby and Ma
poleon's equally decisive overthrow Of
the Russians at Friedland. On the
same day occurred the less important,
though hard-fought, battle of Raab,
where Napoleon defeated the Austrians
in 1909. On the 18th (Which subse
quently Witnessed the outbreak Of the
war of ls76) Napoleon gained the battle
Of Ligny over Blucher, and Marshal
Ney indecisively attacked the English
at Quatre Bras. The 18th has the far
higher glory Of Bunker Hill. Waterloo,
Frederick the Greats defeat by the Aus
trian at Kolin, and the British repulse
before the Redan, at Sebastopol, have
immortalized the 18th. On the 18th
Italy joined the coalition Of 1866
against Austria The great victory Of
Plassey-by which Lord Cliye, defeat
ing, with 5000 men, a force Of more
than $4,000, made England the mistress
Of India-was gained on the 23d. The
oath marks the passage of the Nieman
by Napoleon in 1912; the 25th, the
Italian defeat at Custozza in 1866; the
26th, the commencement of the famous
Seven days before Richmond" in 1862,
and the invasion of Denmark by the
Prussians in 1864; the 2sth, TIE cap
ture of Silistria by the Russians, after a
gallant resistance, in 1929. To this
long list must still be added the earlier
tragedies of the Indian mutiny, several
of the hardest battles of the Crimean
War, and more than one Of those which
decided the fate of Northern Bulgaria
in 1877.

What g Seat in Parliament Costs

The man must be very eager for a seat
in the House of Parliament who is will
ing to stand for the county seat Of Orkt
ney and Shetland. The number Of cleo
tors is not large, as there are only about
l,600 of them, all told, and in an elec-
tion hardly more than two thirds Of these
can be depended on to vote; but to se-
cure the $50 or 700 ballots needed to
elect, the candidate has to put himself
to considerable amount Of expense and
trouble. The main outlay is in provid-
ing floating polls. For some reason the
government does not divide the district
up into voting precincts, althou Oh there
are seventy odd miles of stormy sea be-
tween the two main groups of islandsl
AS the electors are thus isolated, and
have in many cases no means of reach
ing the polls, the candidates are put to
the expense of bringing the polls to them.
Steamers are chartered at Newcastle-on-
the-Tyne, which cruise among the var
ious islands, and offer, in one way or
another, the chances for each privileged
islander to vote with but little trouble
or expense to himself. This is more
than can be said of the successful candl-
date, who is usually out of pocket not
less than $4,000 before the canvass and
election is over, while his competitors
outlay cannot fall for short Of the same
amount. 81

Scene at a Morgue.

On Monday night girl baby, about
q month old, was found on the stoop OF
yo oSe Fast Nineteenth street A
-ol;cemaa carried her to police head
LLusrterx and she was tenderly cared
o. bv Natron Webb, Early yesterday
,no-ninc. AZ is customary, a girl carried
bor 20 The Office of the Commissioners of
charities and Correction, and a nurse
was engaged to take her to the Nursery,
- RandalI'r Island The nurse carried
,bs bAby 70 a wagon Of the department,
and on me way TO the pier, at the foot
q East Twenty-sixth street, the infant
rasped, and appeared to die. The wagon
s.opped at the morgue, the bell was
rnng. and an attendant who answered
,be summons was handed the child, with
,be information, "a baby that died on
;,s way 70 the island" Deputy Coroner
Waterman was in the dissecting room
with DIR. Finlayson, of Indiana, and DR..
Nolan, of Georgia. He was cleaning
his instruments, having Just completed
a couple Of post-mortem examinations.
The attendant laid the child on slab
beside a dead body. DR.. Waterman
saw the baby and asked Drs. Finlayson
and Nolan IL they could determine the
age Of a baby by examining the umbili-
cal cord, They said that their expert
ence was limited in this respect, and
DIR. Waterman, scalpel in hand, walked
IN to the slab, and with professional
,oughness pushed away the limbs Of the
baby and its little night dress, to show
the abdomen. A faint gasp came from
the lips, and DIR. Watermans behavior
changed. "Why. there's life here" he
almost shouted, as he undid the strings
of a tiny. hood that covered the head.
Here cried he to an orderly, "jnst
arrange that shower bath in the dead
house, and Doctor"-to DR.. Finlayson-
"help me to get up artificial respiration.
Dr. Finlayson got cup Of water. and
while DR.. Waterman moved the arms OF
the baby 70 Introduce air into the lungs,
DR.. Nolan compressed the RIOS ana Dr.
Finlayson threw water on the ckild's
head. Several minutes Of energetic
work were rewarded by gasps from the
supposed 4 corpse, and DR.. Fnlayson,
while holding the girls tiny hands, felt
the baby fingers grasp his. The child
was then carried under the shower bath,
then plunged into warm water, and the
treatment was continued until she began
to cry plaintively; then nurse was
summoned from the hospital aAd within
an hour the baby was taking nourish-
ment. The next evening she was well
and hearty, and there was dispute be-
tween several childless gentlemen as to
who should adopt her. The girl is a
pretty brunette But for DR. Water
mans desire to show Drs Enlayson and
Nolan how to determine the time Of her
birth she would have filed little pine
coffin and been buried in a trench on
Hart's Island.
