Philleo have inaugurated or adopted
the city style of taking orders about the
city among customers and then filling

trade. The young men are rustlers,
accommodating, and are bound to get to
the front. Ifyou would like to have
them call at your home please leave

Forbes, referee in the suit brought by
Mrs D. ?. Hecox VS.. her husband, r.
j. Hecox, filed his report in the case in
court to-day. This was an action for
divorce in which plaintiff asked the
custody of her five children and a di-
vorce from Mr.. Hecox on the ground of
extreme cruelty. The referee found
from the evidence that all the allega-
tions Of the plaintiff had been proven;
that defendant cruelty treated the
plaintiff and her children by striking
her and them immoderately various
times, sometimes with his hands and at
Eother times with any instrument that
might be within his reach; and that he
was an unfit person to have the care
and control of the children. The refer
ee recommends a divorce be granted

Mr. z. e. Brown Reported Dying.

The above person is relative of DR..
and J. D. Witter, of this city. Two
years ago he was in this city the guest
of DR.. Witter and received great help
from his treatment. The following
about his condition is taken from the
st. Paul Pioneer Press:-A telegram
has been received from Los Angeles,
Cal, stating that Zelora E. Brown, the
well known real estate agent and form
er partner of H. O. Hamlin, was in
dying condition. In response to this
sad message Mrs. Brown and her son
left yesterday for California. During
the major portion of last summer MIR.
Brown had suffered much from bilious
disorders and left for the Pacific coast
early in the winter in the hope that
change OF climate would prove bene
fetal. 1t appears, however, that the
disease continued to make rapid pro-
gress, and all remedial agents proved
unavailing. Prior to engaging in the
real estate business Mr.. Brown had

throughout-the state. Personally he
was esteemed by all with whom he
came in contact, and the unfavorable
report in regard to his condition viii
create deep regret in his extended
circle Of acquaintance.

les California, Wednesday last.

Science viii Do 1t in Time.

So good an authority as the late
president of tho chemical section of
the British Association has rccen ly
said that after all the work done We
still know nothing Of the manner in
which potash. lime, phosphoric acid
and the inorganic constituents of
soils produce their favorable c1f,c
on plants. We can not tell why pc :
ash is valuable for some plants and
lime for others. This. of course, is
from the standpoint of what may be
called high and dry science. which
does not propose to be satisfi ID with
mere practical results, but demands
proof positive. The value of such a
spirit in science is undoubted. but it
should not exc ude tie use of any sort
of working hypothesis which may
have practical value. But for certain
kno wlolgc one must await the exper.-
ments and conclusions of the slow but

Bungling of any description is never
profitable, and bungling dehorn-

immediate vicinity are all enthusia site
over dehorning. despite these reports;
they say they intend TO continue,
but TO proceed with greater cnlo.
The polled men are lbilant over
these rumors because they know that
dehor cd stock is tn, best, and hence
they believe that if cutting off fails
farmers will breed off, and in that
way create greater demand for their

he can safely cut off the horns. and
