A GROCER IN TROUBLE.
Emil Mueller Arrested on Charge of Having
Fraudulently Transferred His Stock.

Yesterday Schnull & Krag brought suit in
the Superior Court against Frank Creelman and
Emil Mueller, the latter grocer doing business
at the corner of New Jersey and Washington
streets They allege that Creelman is the repre-
sentative of Stephens & Co., Of Cleveland, O.,
who are Mueller's creditors. Compliments say
they are also creditors of Mueller. and that TO
them Creelman proposed to deal leniently with
the debtor, and if it was necessary at any time
TO proceed against him it should be in the inter
est Of both claims. They allege this proposition
was renewed about the 18th of this month, but
on Saturday last Creelman secured from Mueller
transfer of the store to him. Schnull &
Krag say this is in the way of an individual in
vestment On the part of Creelman,
to whom is charged the Stephens
& Co. account as well as a
claim of 81, 500 held by Mrs Emil Mueller The
ask that Creelman be compelled to account as
trustee, and that a receiver be appointed
Later in the day Schnull & Krag made an afr
davit before Esquire Smock charging Emil
lenses from them on May 8, this year. The
account is SIC, 440 q, upon which credit of
over Sc, 900 is claimed by Mueller, and conceded
by atlantis. They allege, however, that when
ne purchased the goods ne made representa-
ton in writing that his merchandise on hand
was worth S., 726 the number of outstanding
accounts and good notes 81. 162, and cash in bank
$780, and that his liabilities were 81 506 his total
assets being $7.11S Upon this representa-
ton they let him have the goods,
but they now allege it was false. Muel-
Ter was arrested and brought before
Esquire Smock, who fixed the bail at SO, 900.
Mueller, late in the evening, procured the
amount, and was released to wait further hear
ing.
On the part of Mr.. Creelman it is claimed
that, while he admits the understanding he had
with Schnull e Krag with regard to their
respective claims, re accidentally learned they
had effected a settlement with Mueller by the
latter giving his note for So, 200, payable day
after date. When Mr.. Creelman heard of this
he made the bargain with Mueller for the trans
fer of the stock to him. His attorney says
Schnull & Krag can purchase the store on the
same terms given Creelman. A Nichols & Co.,
of New York, for $3.50, and Robertson & Perry,
of this city, are creditors of Mueller The last
named firm has brought suit against him for
$500.

JUDGE COBURN'S REMOVAL.
Feeling 1t Has Caused Among Citizens and
Members of the Montana Bar.

The following dispatch to the St. Paul Review,
from Bozeman, the largest town in the most
populous county in his district, and Democratic
town and county, shows the sentiment Of the
people there on the subject of Judge Coburns
removal. 1t indicates high appreciation Of his
worth and services:
'The news of Judge Coburn's removal has
caused an almost universal feeling of disapproval
towards the administration at Washington.
Citizens and members of the bar, without regard
to party, pronounce the removal entirely wrong
and contrary to the first principles of civil serv-
ice reform Judge Coburn has, by hard work
and honorable and fair minded dealing, won a
high reputation, and the people do not propose
to tamely submit to his being despoiled of it
simply to serve the ends of some mischevous
politicians at Helena and Miles City. Attorney
general Garland's statement that charges of a
serious character had been preferred against
Coburn is discredited, especially as Coburn de-
MES it.

DANGER FROM RATS AND CROWS

Many flock OF valuable chickens
has been Matched meerly to feed the
rails and crows, which have an especial
liking for spring chickens. BY using
care in fastening Up the. chicks at
night, the depredations OF the rats may
be prevented but as the crows ply
their calling during the day time, some
other device or method must be used
to prevent loss. A stiff figure some.
times Will prevent the crows from max
ing their visits to the poultry yard. but
they soon get used 20 that There are
other ways which can be depended
upon as efectual. One is to fasten
strips of bright tin upon lines extended
IN various other directions across the
yard, the wind sways them to and fro,
and they flash in the sunlight, and thus
keep the crows at a respectful distance.
Another way is to take large potato
and stick 1t full of feathers, and hang
it upon the string in a similar mannar
to the tin. This bobs around lively,
and astonishes the crows so that they
invariably give the yard and its occu-
pants a wide berth, and seek some
less protected yard for their supply Of
spring chickens. Farmers often pro-
tect their yards, and corn fields by
shooting a crow now and then and
fastening that up in similar manner.

Butter MIX as a Summer Drink.

In warm summer weathe: many
persons feel an irresistible craving for
sour, and often crafty this
desire by free indulgence III pickles,
or vegetables made acid with vinegar.
This demand for acids indicates a de-
ficiency in the acid secretions of the
stomach, and the demand for acids
indicates deficiency III the acid Sec
retions of the stomach, and the de-
mand for an artificial supply is nat
ural one; but vinegar is not the best
substitute.
Lac ictacid is one of the chief agents
that give acidity to the gastric juice Of
the stomach in health. This is the
acid of sour milk, and therefore one of
the best simmer diet drinks that we
can use is buttermilk 1t satisfies The
craving for acids by giving to the
stomach natural supply, and at the
same time furnishing in its cheesy mat
ter good supply of wholesome nutri-
ton. A man will endure fatigue in
hot weather better on butter milk than
on any diet drink he can use.

A DELICIOUS PICKLE OF EGGS

Take two dozen of hens eggs, an
equal number of turkeys eggs and the
same number of guinea-fowls' eggs.
Boil them twenty minutes. When cold
take off the shells, add to them six or
eight dozen OF plovers' or pigeons
eggs, also boiled hard and shellcd.
Have ready an ounce each OF cloves
and mace, four or five nutmeg slices,
an ounce OF whole pepper.sstwo ounces
of ginger, half dozen cloves OF garlic
four ounces OF salt, and four or five
bay leaves. Put the eggs into stone
jar with this seasoning between them.
Then pour over sufficient boiling vlne-
gar to cover them; When cold, close
the jar in the usual way; let.them stand
two days; then pour off the pickle,
boil 1t, and return 1t to the eggs. Re-
peat this twice, thus giving the vine
gar three boillngs after the first each

What Becomes of the Old Boots.

Hundreds of men, women and even
boys, in New York are engaged in the
business" of collecting old boots and
shoes, whichsthey take to the wall pa
per factoues, where they receive from
five to fifteen cents per pair. Calfskin
boots bring the bes, price, while cow
hide ones are not taken at any figure.
These boots and shoes are first soaked
in several waters TO get the dirt off,
and then the nails and thread are re-
moved and the leather is ground up
into fine pulp, Then it is pressed
npon ground of heavy paper, which
is to be used in the manufacture of
,'embossed paper" Fashionable peo-
pie think they are going away back to
medieval times when they have the
walls of their Libraries and dining
rooms covered with this, and remain
in blissful ignorance that the boots and
shoes which their neighbors threw in
to the ash barrel a month before, now
adorn their walls and hang on the
screens which protect their eyes fiom
the fire. Carriage top makers and
book binders also buy old boots and
shoes, the former to make leather tops
for carriages and the latter, leather
bindings for the cheaper grade of
books. The new style of leather
frames with leather mats in them are
entirely made OF the cast off covering
of our feet.

Lock TO Your Horses Feet.

Holsemen should remember that
the bad condition OF their horses feet
cannot be laid at the door Of the far
rier alone. Bad roads are fruitful
sources of injured feet, more so, In
fact, than many realize. 1t is esumat-
cd that a horse weighing sixteen hun
dred pounds, when drawing heavy
load, bears weight upon his feet Of
TWO tons, the extra pressure being
caused by the downward force of the
act of drawing. Whether this idea is
only an imaginary one or not, there is
no question about the pressure being
increased by drawing a load. What
ever this increase may be, added to
the weight of the horse, it makes en-
ttrely too much of a pressure upon the
feet for them to be constantly used on
rough and stony roads without injury.
Bad feet can often be attributed to the
carlessness of those who have the care
ofthe horse. 1t would be astonishing
TO know how few of our farmers ever
give the feet of their horses thorough
cleaning out and dressing up. They
do not realize the fact that the fee
need cleaning and renovating as much
or more, than any other part of the
body. Should stone get caught II
the shoe, it is not discovered until the
foot becomes infamed from the injurI
and the horse signifies its misery b!
limping. 1t takes but little time to ex
anime the feet of a horse, and with al
instrument made for the purpose, ex
tract all the dirt that accumulate
around the frog and under the shoe
This should be attended to al leas
once day. 1t is certainly crimina
carlessness to neglect this duty a

BREVITIEs.

Rats perambulate now everywhere.
Feeding in their houses will induce
the fowls to frequent it.
Fowls should have all that they can
eat, but should not be SO much that
any will be left to sour,
Keep your chickens out of the "dew
OF mornings and never place them
where they will be obliged to be ex-
posed to the mid summey sun in the
middle of the day.
Some authority, wise or otherwise ;
say a dry picked fowl is better than
one picked after scalding, and that a
spring chicken should never be scald-
ed, as 1t is spoiled thereby.
One of the most essential require.
ments to success with poultry is pro.
per ventilation. During the warm
weather a circulation of air is impera.

Bantams should be Matched during
July, or even later, as the birds when
arrived at maturity will be much small

in the season, because they will no
have time to attain their full growth
before the approach of winter, and The
cold weather will keep them undersiz

No Need to Fear Connection

The American farmer never need
fear the competition of his foreign
brethern, He is his own landlord,
his own manager, his own tenant, and
his own workman to as large an extent
as is practicable. Moreover, he is edu-
Gated and intelligent. and there. ore
apt to learn and improve, and is in
dustrious. No other farmer in the
world enjoys all these advantages, and
as every one OF these helps to make
him successful in his task, he can
never suffer from the competition Of
those who have rents to pay 10 land
lords, or who hire managers. and go
themselves soft handed, or who have
to depend wholly upon hired labor, or
who are, on the other hand, plunged
into the deepest poverty and the den-
sest ignorance.

About Weeds.

The bad effects OF late cutting of
grass is that it allows many weed
seeds to ripen. These go INTO hay,
are oi,en indigested by The stock, and
{, are carried in the manure all over
the farm. It is hard place for a
farmer when he dare not draw out all
his manure promptly, because of fear
that weeds viii Offset the advantages
of fertilization. Yet this is the position
in which many farmers place them
selves. The remedy is to cut hay
early enough to escape all weeds, and
for other iced give corn fodder or
Hungarian grass cut before its seeds
mature, as this IN hoed crops is bad
weed.
In land ,ha, is very foul some weeds
will remain in the hill despite The most
cavful cultivation. The small annual
weeds in potato fields may be covered
up sufficiently to be destroyed without
injuring the potatoes Ifdone in dry
time the potatoes seemed to be all
the better for the operation, emerging
from thefr covering in a day or two
with greater vigor than ever. But
weeds in corn hills cannot be covered
up without some injury to the corn,
and the first crop of weeds should
be removed by hand. 1.-THE field is
narrowed just before the corn comes
UP most of the small weeds will be de.
stroyed and the corn will not be lnjur.

Fruit Trees For Ornaments.

Why are fruit trees more generally
planted on lawns or in gardens! The
idea seems to prevail that fruit trees
must be confined to rhe orchard or
kitchen garden; yet what can be more
beautiful than the pale pink and white
of the apple blossom, the pure white of
the pear and cherry, and the deep rose
of the peach. Cherry trees, literally
white with blossoms, are no rare sight,
aud what is more charming than the
graceful branches clad in spotless
purity2 Then too, the ripe fruit, in
thick clusters npon them, IS no less
pleasing to the eye than gratifying to
the taste. There are many varieties
of trees which are planted in the yards
and lawns, which have no more slightly
appearance than the apple tree, with.
out its wealth of fragrant bloom or its
shower of lucious fruit. Even in the
suburbs of the cities and large towns,
where but few feet OF land is allotted
to each home, where one would sup
pose that each inch Of room would be
made available. the front yards are
planted with evergreen trees.-E.x.
