DASTARDLY DEEDS.
THE MIDNIGHT WORK or SOME UNKNOWN
MiSCREARTS.
THE BELT THAT PROPELs THE MA
CHTNERY OF BALDWIN d co. &
GEIsE's MACHINE SHOP AND
MILLS INITIATED.

CHTNERY OF BALDWIN q co. &
GEIsE's MACHINE SHOP AND
MILLS MUTmATED.
Two of the most diabolical acts that
were ever perpstrated in this commu-
nifty have occurred in the last few
days.
On Tuesday night last. during the
the hours of night, some unknown
parties went to the machine shops of
Baldwin d Co. d Geise and mutilat-
ed the large belt attached to the big
engines that runs all the machinery
of this large enterprise. The machine
shops, the planning mills, the gin and
the grist mill all suffered alike. A six
plybelt, eighty feet long and sixteen
inches wide, had pieces cut out of it
the size ola bushel measure, and the
two governor belts attached to the
engines were literally cut to pieces.
After this work had been accomplished
the pieces cut from the various belts
were gathered up and placed at one
OF the doors OF the grist mill to attract
attention to what had been done,
Tie day after this occurrence the
mills were unable to run, but are now
making good time.
ANOTHER OUTRAGE.
On Saturday night before the oc-
currence told OF above, some miscre>
ants visited the pumping station OF
the Dawson Waterworkss Company
and badly damaged the engine by |
breaking the cylinder cock ana other
intricate pieces of the machinery and /!
throwing them in the well. The large
oil can was also broken to pieces.
Before leaving they fred up the
engine, but as luck would have it the
that afternoon, had filled |
the boiler with water, which prevent !
ed an explosion that might have been
with terrible results.
The people of Dawson are Justly
indignant over the above occurrences,
and summary punishment will follow
the offenders when caught.

Car Horses Mind The Bell.

"Did you ever notice how street
car horses mind the bell 7" asked the
old driver of Star reporter the
other night. "Well, they do then,
better than they do the sound OF the
drivers voice. When the conduc-
tor rings the bell once it is a very
stupid team that will not slow up
and stop, but they are just as ready
to start of again as soon as the bell
rings twice for the go head The
driver does not have 10 say a word
to them. Last week, you know
when we had the heavy snow that
made life so miserable for the horses
lots of cars got stuck going up hill.
If you had been much on the notice
you would have observed that when
the driver had exhausted all his
stock of language in trying to get
the car started he would get the con-
ductor to ring up a couple of times
and the horses realized that they had
to get that car on the move or break
q collar. If the conductor had rung
once all the talking the driver could
have done would never have started
those horses, but two bells was toe

LAMBS.

In raising lambs especially when
they come early in the winter, when
the weather is often cold and stormy,
care must be taken to watch careful
ly as many lambs die in the first
twenty-four hours, simply for the
want of little care at the start.
After lamb sucks once or twice
and gets fsirly started they are very
little trouble afterwards and will
stand severe cold weather il the
ewes are able to supply them with
plenty of milk. To secure this it is
very necessary to see that the ewes
are we'll fed. Good clover, or mil
let hay, or unthreshed sheaf oats
with bran and oil meal, or if oil meal
cannot be secured readily, corn meal
and bran will make up good ration.
1t is best in feeding sheep Of any
kind to give small quantity at each
meal and to feed oftener than is u.s.
ual with other kinds of stock kept on
the farm. If the lambs are to be
pushed for early market the ewes
should be fed at least five times q
day. Good racks for feeding rough
ness and small tight troughs for
feeding grain or bran should be pro-
vided. Supply salt in way that
they can help themselves and see
that they have regular supply of
water. If the ewes are left in a good
thrifty condition they can be able to
supply the lambs with plenty of milk
and they can get well started to grow
ing by the time grass makes good
start to grow and with plenty of milk
and all the grass they want will soon
be ready for market.

"Your royal benignity simply par

the tears of joy yelling from his eyes.
"But would you permit me to sug-
gest that the honor is a conditional
one."
Conditional upon what, pray ?"
inquired the king.
conditional upon my dying be-
fore you" replied Mercutio.
II will remove the condition, " said
the king grandIy, for he was used to
doing noble deeds. "You shall die
before l do. 1t is an act of mere
Justice that you shall be thus re-
warded. You may prepare to die at
daybreak tomorrow"

king. 81 shall not see you again,

of his town few days ago, which he
describes as follows:

inside on matter Of business, and
were accosted by our unesteemed,
half-drunken postmaster, John Wit

about our company, we politely but
firmly declined, only to be urged q
again and again in brutal manner,
while we positively declined to &C
cept.
"Stepping up to where We stood,
the burly bully seized us by the col

you and all your associates We
then told him to proceed to business
If that was his desire, when, without
further warning, the cowardly brag-
CART struck US in our eye. This nat
urally raised our ire and we sailed in
to make the fur fly.
"We were just beginning to get

For THE INDEPENDENT.
THE La W OF LOVE.

THE La w OF LOHE.
Men say that love is lawless.
That il will not brook control,
That it must have perfect freedom
Or 1t dies within the soul.
That it will not give obedience.
And 1t scorns the word "obey;;o
But they know not what they're teach
ing,
Or they care not what they say.
For law and love are comrades,
And love lies in laws domain;
Aud in that home meath laws control,
Love sways peaceful reign.
Obedience is the outgrowth
OF true loves exultsnt hope:
And where the love is strongest
There the law extends It's scope.
Then love and law are pillars
On which the creation stands,
And love to God and neighbor
Does include the ten commands.
First love to God, the Master,
Then the love to neighbors here;
Thus love and law are coupled,
And obedience freed from fear.
Love made the law that governs,
And it keeps that law in force;
And obedience comes with better grace
When we do love its source.
God is his own exponent,
And his law of love is just;
So we have but to keep His law,
And love Him as we trust.
