Eau Claire Leader: John S.
Smith, better known as "Tho
Wheaton Farmer" Roy Herrick and
Hon. Louis Evans have formed COM
pany which will be known as the Buffalo
Syndicate" headquarters Eau Claire.
Their idea is to raise buffaloes for the
sake of their hides, which have Of late
become very scarce and valuable.
Galena Gazette: The strawberry crop
was immense in this vicinity this season.
drummer & Meller picked and marketed
about four hundred bushels. The rasp-
berry and blackberry crop would have
been very large had i. not been for the
damage the vines have Suffered from the
ravages of the seyenteen-year locusts.
1t is estimated that they have destroyed
about two-thirds Of the crop.
Whitewater Register: Half dozen
Of the Custer boys went over beyond the
paper mill to do some target shooting
Yesterday afternoon, and not long at
ter bullet came over to the city and
penetrated tho neck of IA horse standing
in Webb's blacksmith shop. The horse
belonged to Mrs. Burton, of Green Lake.
DR.. Horne cut the ball out from the OPP
posite side of the neck 1t narrowly es-
capped the spine in its passage, but prob
ably the animal will recover from the
hurt, The boys were firing into bill,
and supposed the balls would bury
themselves in the earth instead Of
bounding as that one did. They will
not make the same mistake again.
Pick and Cad: On Thursday last
large stack Of hay, on the farm of
Joseph Colbeck who resides about six
miles north Of this village caught fire by
spontaneous combustion and was soon
destroyed together with several other
stacks. The loss is quite heavy as
many tuns were burned.

be found a notice, signed by the saloon
keepers Of the city, warning all business
houses to hereafter keep their doors
closed on Sunday. This is the out
growth Of the strict vigilance that has
Of late been kept on saloon men by the
authorities which has resulted in re-
peated prosecutions for selling liquor
ON Sunday, and is blunt, bold retalia-
ton on the part of the saloonites. A
Dial reporter visited about all of the
people in town that usually keep open
houses on Sunday and asked them if
they would close up Sundays on account
of the saloonkeepers notice. The pro-
prietors Of the three barber shops said:
IL will close up if the other barber
shops do. We would have to work
later Saturday nights" The three
butcher shops were glad to close as it
would give the men a rest. The res
taurants did not want to close as their
best business day is Sunday, but with
one exception they said they would
close rather than take the chances of
being fined. The one exception said:
II won't close up as long as there is
hair left on my head" Liveryman
Smith said; l will hitch up the best
RIG | have, lock my barn, and drive
away off to some town that is alive"

The scale in use in any Thermometer Is
more or less arbitrary. 1t is necessary to fix
two definite temperatures, and assign their
positions on scale. Water, being one OF
the most common bodies in nature, is usually
employed, and freezing aud boiling points
are taken as definite points, especially as the
temperature of freezing water or of melting
ice is almost absolutely fxed-pressure alter
ing it only very slightly. The Thermometer
generally used in the United States and
Great Britain is Of the Fahrenheit scale,
which places the freezing point too great by
% dogs. In Germany the scale used is Rau-
mer's, which places the freezing point at
zero, as does also the French measurement,
which is known as the centigrade scale, and
is used almost exclusively by scientific men
of all nations. 1t is supposed that Fahren-
heit fixed his zero at the point of greatest
cold that he had observed.

with the work on the Croton aqueduct and
III other departments of the city, Senator
Pierce arose and stated that he had received
telegram from Governor Hill demanding
that Rollin M. Squire be required to pro-
duce the letters he swore he had received
from the Governor.
President Spencer of the Aqueduct Com
mission, was the first witness. He said be
had visited Governor Hill and urged him
TO veto the bill reorganiziDg the Board bv
putting the Mayor and Controller off of it.
This was only few days before the Gov
ernor signed it.
Rollin NJ. Squire, ex-Commissioner OF
the Public Works and ex-Member of the
Aqueduct Board, was called and produced
number of letters and notes from Gov
ernor Hill and from his Private Secretary.
Some OF them were invitations for confer
ences with the Governor. In one Governor
bill asked Squire to restore man named
Nelson, who had been discharged from the
Public Works Department. Another was
from Bulge" Mullen, the Governors
friend, asking that Charles Cornell be ap-
pointed to position under Squire.
Ex-Controller Lowe testified that he I'M
derstood that the Aqueduct Commission
reorganization originated with John O'Bri-
en-. OF the contractors firm of O'Brien &
Clark, who, it had been alleged, profited by
the change and aided Governor Hills can
vass. Witness declined to accede to the re-
quest of Judge Mullen that he vote to
award three sections of the aqueduct con-
tract to O'Brien & Clark, and il began to be
rumored that witness was to be removed
from the Commission.

TEN DAYS TO AMEND.
The Demurrer Sustained in the Boruck-
'Post" Libel Suit.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 23d.-TSpecial /
The case of Marcus d. Boruck against the
EUening Post for damages, for alleged libel
against him came up to-day before Judge
Hunt. The suit grew out of an article in
the paper named, charging that Boruck
hal caused P. A. Finigan's removal from
the State Board of Agriculture, because the
latter had exposed certain acts of friend
and former partner of Boruck's.
Judge Hunt delivered long dissertation
on the intricacies of the law of libel. con-
Guiding as follows:
"The statement that so long as Governor
Waterman allows Mr.. Boruck to advise
Kim we do not believe that he will do ius-
uce to Mr.. Flnigan nor straighten out the
kinks OF the horse race rings, would be,
IN my opinion, actlonable, per Sc, if the
complaint contained proper matter of in
ducement and alleged that the plaintiff
| occupied an official position in the Govern
or's office. But, as previously stated,
there is no such averment in the COM
plant.
1t thus appears TO me that without mat
ter explanatory of the meaning of some of
the language employed in the article In
question, and in the absence of averments
relative to the official capacity of the plain
tiff, the complaint fails to state cause of
action.
1t is apparently upon the assumptions
of an injury to the plaintiff in some official
capacity that the present action is founded,
for, if the pleader does not intend to rely
upon the article as actionable, per Sc, in i'm
peaching his official integrity, then there
must be an averment of special damage to
sustain the right of action. For this reason
the demurrer will be sustained, and ten
days allowed to amend
The same ruling was made by the Court
in the case of Marcus d. Boruck VS.. 2. a.
Finigan, to recover $4,000 damages for
sending the alleged libelous matter on a
postal card through the United States mails
to G. M. Chase and E. F. Smith and other
parties.

Congressman Morrow Wants Somethiu .
Done in the Samoan Affair.

WASHINGTON, April 3d.-Representative
Morrow, of California, to-day introduced in
the House the following joint resolution:
WHEREAS, Certain European Powers have re-
Gently pursued in the Pacific ocean an agrees
i've policy of annexation and coleriZation
which has resulted IN the almost eolntlete de,
struction OF native Independence and autonomy
IN that quarter OF the globe: and whereas, in
view OF the growing importance of the CONNER
cial interests of the United States in the Pacific
II is desirable that there should be maintained
whatever remains of independent government
in that part OF the world, free from European
domination and control; and whereas, in the
Samoan Islands, one of the few remaining indie
pendent groups of the Pacific ocean, recent
events have tended to impair, if not absolutely
destroy, their independence and autonomy. and
whereas, the United States as a friendly Power
having commercial interests in said islands
and as the first Government to respect and en-
courage their Independence and enter into
treaty relations with them, is interested in
maintaining their autonomy and independence;
therefore be it
Resolued. That the present condition of affairs
at Samoa requires that the Government should
diplomatic arrangement and an independent
native Government, free from the claim of ter
ritorial jurisdiction of any European Power.
and TO the end that this purpose may be speedily
ana effectively accomplished, the President Of
the United States is hereby requested to con-
tlnue tr interpoSe the good offices of this Gov
ernment i'll the effort to settle and adjust the
present difficulties at Samoa upon a solid foun-
dation, and for the restoration of peace and
good order and the establishment of a RESPONSE

The Republicans Demand Time for a
Full Debate on the Tariff.
Copyright 1888, By 2e California associated Pres,
WASHINGTON, April 23d.-It was under
stood al the meeting of the Wavs and
Means Committee to-day that the tariff de-
bate should be resumed to- morrow, Messrs.
Mcmillan and Mckinley being the orators.
AT the committee meeting Mckinley.
speaking for the minority. said his side
wanted ten days, of five hours each, for the
general debate.
Mills wanted only ten days altogether for
the general debate, dividing the time
equally between the two sides, and hold
ing night sessions.
The minority would not consent to this
proposition. Mckinley said they had had
no voice in the proposition of the bill. In
dustrial interests affected by it had been
denied hearings, and, while there was no
purpose to obstruct or delay. they de-
manded fair chance for discussion.
As the minority is unable to enforce It's
demands, the committee adjourned without
any agreement, except to take up the bill
tomorrow, if it should be found practi-
cable to do so.

TURF BETTING.
General Revolt Against the Book max
ing System of Betting.

LOUISVILLE (Ky.), April 23d. - The
Jockey Club Directors, after much delibera-
ton, have decided to run the derby on the
opening day of the Spring meeting, as
usual, but the field will not be free as it
was in former years. 1t is now almost an
assured fact that the club will retain the
pooling privileges at the track this season.
The chances are, also, that there will be no
book betting, since the books" have an
nounced their intention of not going in at
Colonel Ciark's figures. In order to have
any betting at all, therefore, Clark will re-
vive the Paris mutual form of betting.
Apparently the Associations are going to
make square stand against the book
makers. 1t has been announced from New
York that Jerome Park and Coney Island
will take exactly the same position as
sumed by the Louisville Jockey Club, and
will sell only French and auction pools,
and it is said that Lexington will do the
same thing
