Profit in Sheep.

IHighmore Herald
\ farmer near Roscoe, Il friend of
Senator Hopkins, bought last year lS3
ewes at $3.50 each. He fed them dur
ing the winter hay which he cut at odd
spells during the summer so that it
actually cost him nothing. He has
paid SO for help in shearing. He has
sold $2l5 worth Of wool and has 100
lambs for which he has been offered 81
apiece, but he does not wish to sell for
he dlsires to increase his flock. 1t
will be seen that the farmer has paid
for his original flock the first year and
made a surplus of S9T. Why should
farmers raise wheat and grow poor
when such enterprises can be made sue
ccssful. The new tariff on wool makes
sheep still more profitable.

County Court.

The first term of County Court held
in this county under the State law con-
vened Tuesday, Il. NJ. Goddard, Judge,
presiding. The docket contained but
one case, on appeal from Justice Gless-
ner of Okobojo, viz: Thomas Towle,
plaintiff, VS. John Bradley, defendant;
an action for debt.
1t seems that Bradley had hired
Towle To- seed tract of So acres ut the
rate of 65 acres for $50, and afterwards
claimed he had not complied with his
contract in that he had used sccdcr
instead of Il disc to pulveriZc the
ground, SO refused to pay him for the
work. The jury Mt Okobojo found for
the defendant, while the jury of the
County Court reversed the decision and
rendered n judgment for plaintiff Fin the
sum of S57, and taxed costs to defend
ant, which in all will amount to Sis
10. ID. Nj. Anderson appeared rs at
torney for Towle, and j. +. Hughes of
Pierre for Bradley.

An important sale of Pennsylvania avenue
real estate consummated YESTERDAY, the

vania avenue and 9th street being sold to the
Atlantic Coast Line Company, controlling the
railroads forming the connecting link between
Washington and Florida. The property has a
frontage of SO feet inches on Penn
sylyania avenue and runs back on 9th street 80
feet 10 inches, The price paid was sci 600
The property is improved by a brick building
used as hotel and restaurant and two stores
The sale yesterday was by virtue of decree of
the Supreme Court of the District. the prop
erty being in chancery and for the benefit of
the heirs of Samuel Caughty and J. n. Winston
Baltimore. The terms of the sale were one
third i'll cash and the balance in one ard two
Years.
There is lease on the building which still
has some months to run. After the expiration
OF this lease it is the intention of the Atlantic
Coast Line Company to erect on the premises
fine Office building
This building was erected years ago by a
builder by the name of Staunton of AeXan-
ara Tor banker OF this city named Withers Of
the iirm OF SelLen Withers Il Co., who kept a
p"oA on 18th street. The property then cost
"a GOO. and ut that time it said that the
price was the highest ever paid for piece of
property in this city.
The sale to the railroad company begins a
new era i'll the history of a corner that has had
a some" hat checkered career. For many years
the buii,ilng there occupied for sporting
purpose. In elegantly furnished apartments
there some of the most noted gamblers who
ever enlisted under the banner of the tiger
held forth and reaped the profits of faro.
When however, gambling here was discoun-
tenanced and the laws were rigidly enforced
the property passed to other uses.

staff Appointments.

To the Editor of The Even Star:
A recent law or ruling of the War Depart
ment provides that staff appointments shall be
based upon the recommendation of a board of
officers appointed to determine the relative
merits of the candidates. The wisdom of this
plan cannot be questioned. 1t secures for the
candidates an impartial review of their
records and claims bya board composed of
their peers, whose position. professional honor
and personal integrity remove them from the
Influence of intrigue and favOritsm. 1t also
insures decision founded on merit.
1t will be Interesting to note the efficacy of
this rule in the first to which its provisions
will apply. that of the staff appointments in
the new signal corps. If the findings of the
board. which will present the candidates in the
order of their relative merit3. are adhered to
the ruling wits made to some good purpose. for
the lasting benefit of the army. whose officers
will recognize that merit an! faithful service
have their reward. Such a result would also
reflect great credit upon the authorities from
whom The ruling emanated.
If the recommendations of the board be ig-
nored the ruling referred TO will be farce and
an absUrdity. it will be dead before it aces the
light. and staff appointments will, IA Ofttmes
heretofore. be dealt ont az daiEt, bits to OBJ
sequOus favorites. social pets or political spoils
