Heed The Stock Law.

For some time past complaints
have been made from several parts
of the county in regard to stock
running at large without due efforts
on the part of the owner in restrain
ing such. This ls in many in
stances due more to negligence
than anything else, and is in d.
rect violation of the law of the
State as we'll as the county. We
give the law in this matter in the
hope that 1t may do good in pro-
noting peace and harmony among
farmers in the county. 1t will pay
them to ponder well the meaning
of the law and act accordingly.
Article 2, Sec. 354 of the Revised
Statutes of Missouri says:
Domestic animals to be restrain
ed from running at large.-Ii
shall be unlawful for the owner of
any animals of the species of
horse, mule, ass, cattle, swine,
sheep or goats, in this State, to
permit the same to run at large
outside the enclosures of the own
er OF such stock, and if any of the
species of domestic animals afore-
said be found running at large out
side the enclosures of the owner,
1t shall be lawful for any
person to restain the same forth.

In three days, give notice thereof
to the owner, if known, in writing,
stating therein the amount of COM
pensation for feeding and keeping
such animal or animals, and dam
age claimed, and thereupon the
owner shall pay the person taking
up such animal or animals a rea.
sonable compensation for the tax
ing up, keeping and feeding such
animal or animals, and shall also
pay all persons damaged by reason
of such animals running at large
the actual damages sustained by
him or them. Ii the owner of such
stock be not known, or if notified
and fails to make compensation for
the taking up, feeding and keeping
of animals taken up under the pro-
visions of this article, the same

shall be dealt with in the same
manner as required by law with
respect to taking up such property
as strays. under the straw law.

4 Revision Of Sentiment.
From the iowa Homestead


The most significant victory
which the friends of pure lard and
the foes of a stupendous fraud have
yet achieved has been the unani-
nous vote of the Farmers Alliance
of Nebraska, composed of twelve
hundred delegates, at it's meeting
in Lincoln last week, in favor of
the Conger Lard Bill. Tne most
desperate effort had been made to
poison the minds of the Nebraska
farmers against this righteous
measure. Resolutions adopted by
Alliance under the influences OF
growers of cotton seed and by the
manipulatlons of hired agents of
the adulterators, had beed inserted
in the patent inside of country
newspapers and more astonishing
still, occupied the editorial pages
of agricultural papers that circulate
in Nebraska. These resolutions,
in all cases, advoca ted the passage
of the Paddock pure food bill, a
bill introduced by a United
States Senator from Nebras-
ka. The Nebraska Alliance
refused to give its endorsement to
this measure of a senator from
Nebraska, not because it is without
merit, but because it has been
pushed to the front by the cotton
seed oil, the tallow ano packing
house interests in lieu of the Con-
ger Lard Bill. The crushing defeat
which this unholy scheme received
at the hands of the Iowa Alliance
has been followed up by the Illi-
nois Alliance. By the Wisconsin
Grange, by the Iowa Dairyman's
Association, the Iowa Grange, the
Iowa Improved Stock Breeders
Association, and the Illinois State
Alliance, but nothing comes with
greater significance and force than
this action of the powerful Far
mers' Alliance of Nebraska. The
senate of the United States need
be in no doubt rsosc as to what the
swine growers of the West think of
the Conger Lard Bill. They are
class of men not to be trifled with
just now.

A MAN WHO RUNS HIS OWN SHOP.

Last Wednesday morning Cheney Kill
burn, President of the Hale & Kilburn
Manufacturing Company, the largest
makers of fine furniture in Philadelphia,
sitting in his Office in consultation with
business man, was startled by a re-
sounding thump on his desk, and turned
to see reposing there fist, in which was
an enormous card. He glanced up and
beheld little man in big hat who was
regarding him with strangely severe
aspect. President Kilburn failing to
speak, the little man opened with:
"Well, sir-d'ye see my card, sir?"
"Who-What-"
give come here to regulate your hours
of work." interrupted the little man,
speaking briskly and confidently.
"Oh, you have, have you?" said Pres
ident Kilburn, recovering his articulation
with some apparent difficulty, The
stranger seemed to think that this man
was duly impressed with the importance
of his mission, and continued:
''As you will see by that card" point
ing to the four by six pasteboard which
he had balanced against the inkstand on
the desk, 81 am Secretary of District AS
sembly 220, Knights of Labor, of Brook
lyn. Over in Brooklyn and New York
we have considerably modified the sys-
tenn of working hours, and we intend to
have the same system prevail over here
in your town. We want to reduce the
hours of work from ten to nine. have
already agreements to that effect signed
with all the leading furniture manufact-
urers in the town except YOU
"Well, what's that to do with me?" ex-
claimed the furniture man. II don't

'If you don't come in with the others, +"
replied the little representative of the
Brooklyn assembly solemnly, 1--WE shall
be compelled to order your men out
That's the way we do things in New
York"
Mr.. Kilburn is stout, white-haired, be-
nevOlent loOking-one of the last men in
the world who would be expected to fly
into passion. The Brooklyn delegate
was considerably surprised, therefore,
when he delivered himself as follows:
young fellow, I've made some money
the last thirty years by attending to my
own business. I've enough interest i'll
your welfare to suggest that you do the
same. Get out"
The delegate refused to go, and was
thrown out. Then $50 hands struck.
Their places have been filled, and the
company say they will employ no more
union men.-N. Y. Times.

THAT LITTLE TICKLING

In your throat, which makes you cough
once in awhile and keeps you constantly
clearing your throat, arises from catarrh,
and as caJarrh is a constitutional dis
ease, the ordinary cough medicines all
fail to hit the spot. What you need is a
constitutional remedy like Hoods Sarsa-
parilla. Many people who have taken
this medicine for scrofula, dyspepsia,
loss of appetite, and other troubles, have
been surprised that it should cure this
troublesome cough. But to know the
actual cause of the cough is to solve the
mystery. Many cases of consumption
can be traced back to the neglect of some
such slight affection as this. Consump-
ton can be controlled in its early stages,
and the effect of Hoods Sarsaparilla in
purifying the blood, building up the gem
eral health, and expelling the scrofulous
faint which is the cause of catarrh and
consumption, has restored to perfect
health many persons on whom this
dreadful disease seemed to have a firm
hold.

''No; not al a rule. Some times it

You know it is very difficult to stand

There was not boy in the whole city

the manner related, is still as strong and
as true as steel.-Mary NJ. Friend, Phila-

Gaze on him!
Feast your eyes upon his tout ensemble.
Observe his hands-his restless, home
less hands,
So undetachable-so obstinately there.
He knows them, but he cannot
Place them:
His trousers have no pockets at the
side,
One leg feels longer than the other, and
His feet are in his way.
This is his first appearance
In a swallow tail.
His mortal frame he ne'er before hath
decked
In toggery like this.
Upon his face
He wears smile-a wan, appearing
smile
A smile that buded and then froze to
death,
And stuck fast where he died.
Look at that smile and then
Go weep!-ChicdgO Tribune.
