thieves are making business for the detect
ives in Chicago and the West generally"
said Chief OF Detectives Kelly last night.
aside from the expert bank burglar and
the house breaker, the only criminals who
can command sny respect from the detect
i've is the expert hotel thief" added the
Chief, refectively. why? Because he
must be intelligent, adroit, and possessed of
perfect nerve. In point of intelligence
would even rank the hotel thief above the
bank burglar or sneak, who are accorded the
front rank in the criminal profession. Pre-
requisite to the hotel thief are education
and a good address, which is usually OBJ
tanned by travel. he is generally dignl6ed;
well, but quietly dressed, and with the gem
eral appearance OF a man Of business. The
crack hotel thieves ordinarily travel in pairs,
although they are, to all appearances, I'M
known to eseh other.

JAMDs B. BELFoRD, Republican, recently
in Congress, declared that Hayes never was
elected President Here are his words
You can all readily recall the flibustering we
bad in this House at that time and you can also
readily recall the fact that every vote in that
filibustering epoch stood up with you Democrats
like lone pine tree in the desert. We broke that
deadlock. We passed that bill. Rutherford B.
Hayes-who, in nv judgment, never was elected
President of the United States, although voted
to beat you Democrats, because you had not the
courage to stand up for your rights Rutherford
r HAYES vetoed that bill.

dent-elect telegrsphed the following letter
to Mr.. Cleyelsnd last night:
INDIANAPOLIS Feb. o. 1855.
Hon. Grover Cleveland, President Elect:
MY DEAR SIR-Mrs Hendricks and have been
much annoyed by the publication in some OF the
newspapers of picture somewhat resembling
her, and an article In bad taste attrbuting TO her
an ambition quite absurd. lneed not say that the
publication was without our knowledge, and that
to no persons can 1t be so offensive to ourselves
/ understand that such pictures and articles are
prepared in New York, and furnished to sub
scribing newspapers for small price. We trust
that IL viii not be an annoyance 10 yourself the
ladies OF your family With great respect,

Average monthly balance, Sis, 925 46.
1t will be observed that the January and
June balances are swelled enormously by the
school assessments. During December and
May the County Tressurers, regardless OF
distance or inconvenience, must travel to the
capital, to bring their assessments. During
January and June the County Treasures,
regardless of Inconvenience and distance,
must come to the capital again to take back
their pportionments-like that noted pha-
lsnx that marched up the hill and then
marched down again. There is enough "red
tape" in the process to supply the dry goods
market OF the country.
From the statement OF monthly balances
i, is seen that while that for May 1 was
$3.50. SD %, the balance for June l was
81, go, s33 Sc. or difference OF 81, 254, 0209
But on July 1 the balance is 1886, 73S. 69-s
shrinksge in thirty days of 1907 ,o95.17. But
if this entire sum OF 1901, 095.17 be charged to
the counties ali viii not have received their
school fund, for the aggregate apportionment
was 81, 050, 441.76 or $143. 346 SO more than
the State Treasury disbursed in the month oi
June. So we see that about 100000 il
drawn in from the counties needlessly, and
that after thirty days there are, at least
S143, 1859 still unreturned to the countie:
and possibly three times that amount Are
the counties and the school districts bene
flied by this withdrawal Of the money from
them? If so. how? Is the State benefited
by this money which belongs to the countie:
and the school districts, lying in the Stats
Treasury? If so, wherein? Will the Legis
lators not put an end TO this folly and the
ills that ensue from it2

Horn1ess Cattle.

The horns of an animal can be de-
stroyed in embroyo with very little
pain in the following manner: The
small nubs from which the horns will
grow, which appear on a calls head,
are cut off with q knife so that the
embryo horns can be cut away. This
is done with great ease and quiet
rapidly by the use of a sharp knife.
The wound is then scared with a white
hot iron, which is not painful, as the
great heat deadens the sensation, and
it soon heals. The horn is destroyed
and its growth prevented. Consider
ing the great danger of mjtry from the
horns of cattle this operation is q
necessary one, and as it is less painful
than that of docking lambs tails and
far less painful than castration, any
person who objects to it may be
thought more nice than wise.

Grain DrODS.

Farmers should eat more farina-
ceous food, and less meat and potato.
Dat meal and cracked wheat recon-
mend themselves as among the most
nutritive and easily digested of foods.
We have oat meal or cracked-wheat
mush on our table for breakfast every
day. We u a pound or so OF whole
wheat drought a coffee mill, which
enables us to have purer and better
grain than we can buy OF grocers.
After buying canary seed and other
stuff mixed with the wheat at the
store, We resorted to this device, Is
an experiment. 1t gives the best Of
satisfaction to all. Those farmers
who grow wheat would do well to
save out a bushel or two for family
use, cracking a little at a time in a
hand mill. 1t will pay farmers to plant
enough seed for family use.if no. more
