LAST Saturday the Star published the
following dispatch in its telegraphic news
column:
The Philadelphia star.Route Cases.
VERDICT RENDERED THIS MoRNISG-oNE MAN
CONVICTED.
PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 30.srThe Jury In tho
StaI-Route cases, tried IN the U. $. District
Court, returned n verdict this morning, finding
Joseph Funk, william Il. Cason, Henry Ar
buckle and Joseph Blackman not guilty, ana
Joseph r. Black guilty, with n recommen1a-
tion to the mercy OF the Court. A motion was
made for new trial for Black, and argument
Will be heard on the motion next
Friday. Black was set at liberty giving
$4,000 bail pending the argument, Judge But
Ter remarking that there were reasons for
leniency In his case, not only on account OF the
recommendation OF the jury, but the sur
roundings Of the defendant. 1t Is said that
when the jury first retired they decided that
Carson, Arbuckle, Funk and Blackman, being
Blacks agents, were not guilty. The ilrst bal
lot as TO Black was to 8, two iurymen not
voting. After asking for Instructions the vote
was to 3, then to o, as to his guilt. After
is ballots q verdict Of guilty was reached.
The courtroom was crowded during the pro-
ceedings.
On this dispatch it based the following
editorial:
With the verdict rendered In Philadelphia
this morning three Star-Route thieves have
been convicted and one, a mere tool OF tho
others, acquitted. 1t does not appear that
there was any Bill Dickson to read bribery
documents In tho Jury room, In violation OF
law and the charge of the Court, to influence
the jury.
This is as near as the Star can come to
fnll 4. =
however remotely, Star-Route matters.
The Star is blinded by its hatred of The
CRITIC. It hates The CRITIC because THE
CRITIC has displaced it as the evening
newspaper of Washington.

on which rests our whole system of
government. A first class school can
be maintained only by the united
efforts of united people.
Nearly every spring for the past
fifteen years, has brought forth its
brood of grumblers, as angry and
as unreasonable as bears after hiber.
nation, and the present year it seems
is to be no exception to the rule, and
the recent demonstration, like most
of those that have proceeded it, ap-
pears to have originated from purely
personal motives, and not from that
liberal spirit of devotion to the public
good which is claimed by its agitators.
This petulent, complaining, fault
finding spirit, has driven away the
best men we have had in times past.
Shall it do so in the future? Shall a
band of chronic faultfinders control
the school now, as they have to
great extent heretofore. Will you
rally to the support of a good school
or will you allow personal bique to
continue to exert its demoralizing
influence.
Thes are questians of vital i'm
portance to the welfare of our school,
the answer rests with the people of
this school district. E,

Telegraphing,


Few workshops are as unhealtkful as
the telegraph offices of our large cities.
The ventilation is imperfect; fifty men
are breathing an atmosphere that should
sustain but ten. There is draft from
an open window on one side and the
heat from hot stove on the other, or
an artificial heat from pipes that smell
not sweetly! Why, simply to sit in such
a room and have no duty to perform
but twirl your thumbs and take your
ease, sows in your system the seeds of
disease and death! And to work there,
to bend over your desk to catch the
mystic click of the instrument as it tells
its ever changing story; to double up
your chest and contract your lungs; to
keep every nerve at its highest tension;
to have your brain power concentrated
on the last word you have written or the
one that is coming; to have your mental
faculties all narrowed down to the bus
sncss before you, and yet be unable to
follow one thread Of thought for two
consecutive moments, but to Jump from
one to tho other as new words suggest
them-this is making of the mind and
the body less than the Creator intended
it fora machine that is running under
such high pressure that it must neces-
sarily collapse years before, in the ordi-
nary course OF nature, its usefulness
should cease!-The Operator.

Peter Oooper's Esoapes.

Mr.. Peter Cooper has had several hair
breadth escapes during his lifetime of go
years. On one occasion, when he was
mere lad, he was rambling with several
other boys in tannery, and fell into q
tan-vat. As the vat was nearly full of n
strong solution of acid water, he was, as
he expresses it, "nearly picked to DEATH"
His playfellows, instead of trying to help
him out of his predicament,, stood and
laughed right merrily at his predicament.
Finally workman employed in the tan
merry heard his piteous cries for assist
ance, and came to his relief. Forty
years ago Mr.. Cooper was thrown from
a wagon which was attached to runa-
way horse. His head struck upon q
stone in the road, and his recovery was
regarded as a wonder. A few years ago
he was nearly drowned by the upsetting

The School Question.

Mr.. EDIToR.-Your last issue con.
tanned an article by ga leading bust
ness man" of Owosso, which unless
some Of its statements are corrected,
will give false impression of the
standing and usefulness of our school.
The "leading business man" as,
serts that notwithstanding the large
amount of money paid by our tax
payers for educational purposes, our
school is behind TIE age." The gen.
tleman has been misinformed, (for i
do not believe Aeading business man
would willfuily misstate facts.) Our
school has never been in better con-
dition than it is to-day, the grade is
higher than it ever has been before,
and, far from being "teAth rate
school, students who graduate from
thereafter, will be prepared to enter
the University, and this advanced
standing is due to the personal efforts
of those in charge of the school. Any
person desiring information on this
point can satisfy themselves by calling
on either the Supt. of Schools, or the
Sec'y of the School Board.
Is it not very absurd that persons
who never visit the school, who are
never present at examin alton, who
are not posted as to the various
courses of study, should criticise the
rank and working, of the school?
How much weight would be at
tached to an opinion of business mat
ters, given from the same stand d-point?
We are told again by the "leading
business man." as an evidence of the
complete generalization of our
school, "that some of our larger pu-
pills are intending to enter the Cor
unna school next term" We have
heard the same report, but the only
names we heard mentioned in con-
nection with it, were the names Of
scholars that have been suspended
for misconduct.
/ do not propose to enter into any
discussion of the personal quarrel
that some of our large (7) tax payers
have taken upon their hands; but /
appeal to every citizen who is actuated
by desire for the public good, to
come to the support of our school.

Central Michigan Spring Fair.

In the Republican of March 23,
mention was made of the work of pre-
paration for the spring meeting of the
Central Michigan agricultural society,
which the business committee has de-
cided to hold May 81 and June I, 2.
8. 1t is intended to make an exhibit
ton and sale of agricultural implem-
ents and machinery prominent fea-
ture at this meeting, and dealers will
find it to there interest to be there
early. The society also desires to in
augurate system of sales fairs for
live stock, and have concluded to
make the sale or exchange of live
stock feature of as much promin-
ence as the offerings will permit.
This is a step of great Importance to
everybody within the limits of the
society, and certainly should be en-
couraged. Every one having an
imals to sell or exchange should
bring them to this fair, and buyers
should be there in force to secure
them. The shed and stable accom-
modations on the grounds are ample
for all. Auction sales may be held
in the forenoons if desired by the
owners of the stock. For the pur-
pose of developing speed, and to en-
courage the breeding of good horses,
the society has decided to offer
$4,000 in premiums for trotting, pac-
ing, and running horses, which, have
been distributed by the committe so
as to secure the greatest interest and
the largest attendance Of the best of
each class of horses attainable with the
amount offered. All may rest as sured
that no effort will be spared to m axe
a first-class meeting in this particular.
To enable the society to issue a pro-
gramme containing catalogue, the
entries in the farm implement and
machinery class should be sent to the
superintendent, r. ]. Emery, Albion
Mich, before May IS, and he will
assign space and provide power.
Entries for live stock sale should be
made with Secretary Ben. B. Baker,
Lansing, at an early date, that they
may be noticed in the catalogue.
Entries in the speed department close
at the secretary's Office May 20. This
is the first spring fair this society has
undertaken. Ifit is successful we are
assured that they will be continued in
the future, and like the fall fairs, be-
come one of Lansing's permanent at
tions.-Lansing Republican.

Experiments in Feeding.

The superintendent of the model farm
at Guelph, Canada, gives as below the
results of some experiments made there
in cattle breeding:
1. A steady frosty winter is better
than an open one in feeding cattle.
2. An average 2 or B year old steer
will eat it's own weight of different ma
terials in two weeks.
3. Two or year old cattle will add
one-third of a pound more per day to
their weight upon prepared hay and
roots than upon the same materials I'M
prepared.
4. 1t is 80 per cent. more profitable to
premature and dispose of fattening cattle
at two years old than to keep them up
to three years. = ~.--
5. There is no loss in feeding a cattle
beast well upon a variety of materials
for the sake of manure alone. eva
6 Farm-yard manure from well-fed
cattle years old is worth an average of
$3.50 per ton.
Il. A 3-year-old cattle beast, we'll fed,
will give at least one ton of manure ev-
cry month of winter.
8. No cattle beast whatever will pay
for the direct increase to it's weight from
the consumption of any kind or quantity
of food.
9. On an average it costs IL cents for
every additional pound of flesh added to
the weight of 2 or year old fattening
steer. q q e q
q 1OaIn Canada the market value of
store cattle can be increased sc per cent
during six months of finishing by good
feeding. 4 d
II. In order to secure a safe profit,
no store cattle beast, well done to, can
be sold at less than Al cents per pound

~. In the fattening of wethers, to

Leicester grades can be made up to 200
pounds, the Oxford down $50 pounds,
