the four corners of the coop, in order
that each may find water, and not be
compelled to suffer. BY using extra
precaution, the poultry will reach the
market in a condition to secure the
highest prices, but if exposedt to draughts
of air, dampness, and deprived of water,
they will not only lose in flesh but look
droopy and diseased. In fact, many
coops of fowls are shipped, of which
the occupants are in perfect health
when started on the journey, but con-
tract roup before arriving at the point
of destination, owing to exposure. A
few cents expended for muslin to pro-
tect the sides, and plenty of room for
each fowl, will save quite sum when
they are sold. Young chicks are often
exposed for hours on the sidewalks of
the cities, and many of them die unless
protected by the covering afforded
when they started on their journey.
The commission merchants do not give
them any other protection than that af-
forded by the shipper.
NOTES.
FRESH meat, in small quantities, is
helpful in promoting health, but it is
better to cook it, as there is danger of
its effect upon the bowels if fed raw.
IT is no use to try to fatten half
grown chicks. There will be a great
difference in the condition of chicks of
different breeds at the same age, but
until well matured they will not fatten.
AMONG the good things to be fed the
hens occasionally is corn burnt on the
ooh unEl IL il rn1upnd tn charcoal
They will eat it greedily, and its tonic
effect will soon be noticed in the red
dening comb and increase of eggs.
POULTRY diseases may be prevented
by cleanliness, but not otherwise. The
cholera and roup may be cured dozen
times, but unless the houses and runs
are kept clean, such diseases will appear
as regularly as the periods of the moon.
Poultry is profitable business, but not
under unfavorable conditions.

With the close of the present month
which comes tomorrow night, Joseph q.
Chandler will cease to perform the
duties of receiver of the Yapkton land
Office and E. M. Ziebath will step into
the place rendered vacant by his volun-
tary retirement. Mr.. Chandler has
served his country in this capacity
nearly three years, during which time,
though a member of the
honored fraternity of repub-
lican "rascals," has given faithful,
honorable and unremittipg attention to
the duties of his position. Some
months ago he rendered his resignation
to the president and its acceptance was
finally consummated IN the appoint.
ment and confirmation of MIR. Ziebach.
Mr.. Chandler could not wish to bestow
his place upon more honorable demo.
crat than his successor, and
the public will, without regard
to party, share in his qualification over
the choice of the administration. 1t is a
case wherein an old Dakotalan of pio.
neer days has been remembered and a
gentleman of unimpeachable integrity
has been given position of trust and
public service. With clean record
Mr.. Chandler retires from Office and his
place falls to one who will maintain the
purity OF its administration in the years
to come.

The close of the long struggle between
the knights of labor and the powerful
Missouri Pacific corporation will be
hailed with delight by the sufferers on
all sides. The business of the railroad
company has undergone an experience

for the pooling arrangements which
have enabled the Missouri Pacific TIC

competitive lines while it's
own lines remained Inactive
through the dietation Of Its
hired servants. With this advantage
the company has not escaped without
damaging effects, though such effects
have been modified by the operations Of
the modern invention known as "the
pool That the individual members
of the organization of knights of labor
have encountered privations through
the idle days and weeks of their strike
is not denied, though the perfection
of their organization has pre-
vented them from reaching the starva-
ton point. 1t is the general public
which has been the great sutferer-the
individuals and communities dependent
upon the daily movements of trains for
their supplies of the absolute neces
saries of life. In the far west country
dependent upon the operations Of the
Missouri Pacific system the supplies of
these articles upon which the people
feed had become practically
exhausted and it was q question of only
q few days when its individuals and
communities must have taken the mat.
ter into their own hands and compelled
the resumption of traffic. 1T was
Gould's hope that this might occur and
through it might come q victory to his
side Of the controversy.
But we are told that an amicable
understanding has been reached between
the corporation and it's employees and
that the latter have carried their point.
AS both sides have been wrong in their
movements, there will be no general
enthusiasm over the so called victory.
The public viii rejoice oSiy c=e: the
resumption of work.

SOMETHING ROTTEN IN BOSTON.
Charges and Scandals Concerning
Certain City Contracts.

Boston, Sept. 23.-The Record tonight in
a special edition called attention to certain
charges and scandals that have been made
concerning various contracts and purchases
made by the city. 1t says serious irregularl-
ties have existed but that it has been diff
cult to secure evidence upon which to base
call for investigation. Of late, however,
more serious attention has been given to the
matter by persons interested in the welfare
of the city, and it is understood that facts of
a damaging nature have been secured. The
matters concerning which inquiry has been
made are the Long Island purchase, the Wa
ter Meter contract and the granting of the
franchise of the Bay State Gas Company
The Dunbar estate on Long Island was pur-
ceased for $157, ,000 and subsequent revela-
tions made by the Advertiser showed that of
this sum only $4,000 was paid to the owners
of the property. No explanation has been
made as to where the balance went. The
Water Meter contract was made during
Simmons regime when large numbers OF
meters were purchased only to be discarded
later as worthless. In connection with the
Bay State Gas Company s franchise, the Rec
ord intimates there are Irregularities that
would fully equal those in the Fisher Hill
case.
The Record further intimates that the re-
cent split in the Democratic party and the
movement to organize the county Democracy
has much to do with bringing about these
revelations. The Common Council tonight
held long debate upon an order to appoint
a special committee to investigate the Long
Island matter, and finally referred it to their
Judiciary committee.

ranged for Illuminating the harbor and

were ascending on all the headlands of the
harbor, while cannon were booming from

the pyrotechnic display, such as has never
been seen before. The harbor was ablaze
with fire and hundreds of people focked
to various points of vantage from which the
magnificent spectacle could be witnessed.
