He Did Break In.

On examination of Cohen Bros store
Yesterday it was found that Johnson GI'as
Sims, who was arrested on Monday night
for attempting to break into their store,
had effected an entrance through the sky
light.
II is thought that the door of the sky
light was priced off, when the burglar,
seeing how far down he would have to
Jump, returned to get a plank to slide
downwards into the store.
The third story is very little used and
yesterday was the first time anyone has
been in It this week. Mr.. Cohen himself
was the party who found out that the
sky-light had been broken in, but no goods
were missed.

HOME RULE HOPELESS.

Tho Gladstone Measure Thought to be
Observation-Disclosures Aiming.
LONDON. May 15.-Sixty-four gentlemen,
including Chamberlain, Treve,yan and
Caine. attended q meeting of Liberal and
Radical opponents of home rule yesterday.
Lord Harrington made q speech, in which
he explained the reasons why tho Liberals
should oppose Gladstone's measure. The
meeting was harmonious throughout and
unanimously adopted . resolution declaring
that those present would oppose the second
reading of the Home Rule bill. Harrington
declared that the pledges from the
Liberals to oppose the Home Rule bill were
sufficient in number to make the rejection
of the bill on its second reading q certainty.
The defeat Of the bill, he said, would cast
a heavy responsibility on him. which, how
ever, he was quite prepared to accept.
Lord Hartington's whips report that
Ito Liberals have pledged them
selves to vote against the Home
Rule bill and that thirty are doubtful. The
Conservative leaders advise Conservatives
in the House of Commons not to speak dur
ing the debates, as they wish to hasten the
division on the second reading. IT is ru-
mOred that Mr.. Gladstone is consulting
with his colleagues upon the ACCESSIBILITY Of
withdrawing the Home Rule bill.

Strange Story.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE coroner received
dispatch this morning from +. A. Vogt,
trustee of the town of Cicero, near this
city, which said that nine boxes containing
the bodies of children and adults
vera found about half mile south
Of Oak Park. Up to eleven O'Clock
no other particulars concerning the
discovery were to be had. The facts as
known created excitement in police circles.
One OF the theories advanced is that the
cOrpses are those of anarchists who had
died from injuries received in the Hay-
market explosion and subsequent fights
with the police In the southwestern part of

agreed upon last summer, when the finan-

as generous one, but in view of later

STOCK ITEMS.

No excuse can be given by farmers for
not owning fine stock after the spring sales
are over. The prices they now realize
bring them within reach of every man who
really wants any, and every farmer should
want them. The thoroughbred brings good
prices. 1t costs no more to keep them than
any other stock, and yet the prices OBJ
tanned for the surplus is ten times moro
than for common breeds. II it should COST
little more at the outset, it very soon re-
pays it ten-fold.-Spirit Of the Farm.
After all the good wife and the boys and
girls are the best things on the farm. Don't
forget this when you find yourself given
up night and day to thinking about and
caring for those pigs and calves. II tho
pig or calf goes wrong it can be replaced
with money, but not SO with a helpmate
wrecked with overwork, or . boy or girl
gone astray. The best type Of farmer is
the one who thinks Of his family first; not
that he thinks less Of his farm and its be-
longings, but more of Betsy and the babies

Many cows are spoiled by bad milking
Such cases are often occurring. But here
is one which happened in q large milk
dairy, where Q new set of hands were en-
gagged who were inexperienced mixers:
The milk fell from 700 quarts day to $40;
then to coo; then $50 and it was still grow.
ing less. when another change was made.
The product then increased, but did not
get up to the former figures. The foreman
of the stable hands who made such q poor
showing was q brutal man who dubbed
the cows on the least provocation, and this
Of course helped to discourage the poor
animals.-N. 7. Times.
A Virginia farmer has discovered . new
use for Olsomargarine. He adds it to the
Skinned milk ON which he feeds his calves.
He says he never raised better calves, even
when he fed them on new milk. He uses
an ounce Of oleomargarine to the quart Of
milk. Pref. Stewart, commenting on this,
says half an ounce would be sufficient, and
that boiled haxseed is much cheaper and
no doubt quite Is healthy. One ounce Of
faxseed before boiling is mixed after boil

calf grows older the quantity may be in
