Breed to q Purpose.
The importance of breeding to blood
ed stock of the kind required is not to
be ignored. If you desire a dairy COW
for her milking qualities, she should be
bred from the stock whose peculiar
characteristic is much milk giving; If
butter is desired, the cow should be
bred from stock noted for butter pro
duction; if you desire cattle for beef,
this one feature should be kept in view
in breeding. So too, with horses, the
characteristic desired should be known
| to have been those of the dan, and sire.
The same principle applies to hogs and
sheep. Always breed with a purpose.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, July 14.-Con-

Pennsylvania, and an intimate friend
of Governor d. B. Hill, is here, and
today talked quite free. He an
nounced that there was no feeling of
enmity between Cleveland and Hill.
The latter, he said, was quite satisfied
with the senatorial honors of his stat e
and had little idea of opposing Mr..
Clevelend for the presidential nomina-
tion.
There are two factions in the New
York democracy" said Mr.. Elliott,
lone for Cleveland and one for Hill.
Long before the democratic conven-
ton of next year they will harmonic
and Mr.. Cleveland will receive the
solid support of the New York dele
cation. Talk of any other outcome is
the merest bosh. Hill is not at all
anxious for the nomination, and will
do all in his power to help Cleveland.

Three little children with their

dead in the yard about or 10 feet
from the house. The eldest, Della
Newberry, seven years old, had her
head almost severed from the body.
Nora, the next, and the little boy three
years old, had their throats badly cut

calf rope hanging there and took me
to the front gate post and tied me and
tried to cut my throat with a knife.
One of the men stayed with me as a
guard and every time would make a

choke me. The other went back in

children into the yard one

THE EDISON COMPANY GETS A CINCH
ON THE INCANDEsCENT LIGHT.
New YORK, July 14.-In the suit of
the Edison Electric Light company for
Infringement ofits patent of the incan.
descent light, Judge Wallace today
rendered the decision in favor of the
Edison people.
The decision broadly, squarely and
fully sustains the Edison patent.
Judge Wallace also ordered an in
junction against defendant and an ac
counting of profits for past manu-
facture. The present output of
incandescent lamps in this country
is about $4,000 day, only one half of
which are now made by the Edison
company. That company now asserts
that this decision gives it monopoly.
The patent was sustained by two ap-
pellate courts in England, aud the de-
cision of Judge Wallace apparently
agrees with the English decisions.
The decision, while affecting some of
the smaller companies, it is thought
the Thomson Houston and Westing-
house companies will continue their
business much as before. The West
iDghouse people claim that the deci-
sion will not seriously affect them.
The patent has only two or three years
more TO run.

miles from town. He disappeared. A
constant search was kept up and today
he was found in a mesquite thicket
mile beyond the suburbs. He was
hanging to a limb by small rope, was
start naked save for a handkerchief
around the neck and had evidently
been dead a long time, as the body
was much decomposed. He had evi-

tree, stood on the seat, fastened the
rope around his neck and the limb,
whipped up his horse and swung into
the air. He was well to do and his
domestic relations were happy. He
