sECRETARYs REPORT.
The past year has been in some respects
better than any we have as society seen tor
many years. The society now has 294 men,
bers, an increase OF 80 over last year, and the
total receipts OF the secretarv's office will be
shown by the treasurer's report to be nearly
800 more than the year previous the total
being nearly double, The Indictment weather
the last day OF the fair made vast difference
greet that we were obliged TO pay a portion of
the premiums pro rata when the receipts were
one third more than ever before. but IA glance
ut the premium list and the treasurers report
will explain. The premiums on live stock,
but more especially Merino sheep, were large.
ly increased last year, those on Merino sheep
being greatly out OF proportion compared
with the rest OF the premiums, and | do not
think II made our sheep show very much bet.

cent to our gate receipts. The time has been
when II would, but that time Is past, and the
society Will make n eat mistake II IL does
not cut those premiums down considerably
more than one-half. The pro rata was only

an end at o'clock on Saturday afternoon.
Saturday morning both respondents tes-
titled in their own behalf, their defense
being general denial of the charge in
the Indictment Some of the evidence
for the State had been of pretty rank

laurels.
The evidence was all completed at
10 20 Saturday forenoon and the rest of
the time up to 2 o'clock was taken up
judges charge. Mr.. Royce and Mr.. Bliss
made able pleas for the State, Mr.. Royce
opening and Mr.. Bliss closing the case,
Mr.. Ballard coming between them with
one Of his characteristic arguments for
the defense. Judge Start took up half
an hour in his charge to the jury, and
they were out about an hour. Shortly
before 3 o'clock they came in and an
nounced their inability to agree, where
upon they were discharged from further
consideration of the case. The jury
stood nine for acquittal and three for
conviction. and it is hardly likely that
the case will ever be brought to trial
again. Both respondents are out on the
same bail as before, $500 each.
At 3 o'clock the court took recess I'M
til 10 o'clock Tuesday morning, Jan. ID.

A Famous Musicians Story.

In this village, says the Minor,
n. D., correspondent Of the Chicago
Herald, teaching music for q compe-
tence, lives Mrs. Cakes Smith, who,
thlrty-fve years ago, was Mile. Isotta
Rebecchini, the daughter of we'll
known Italian musician. After his
marriage Capt. Cakes Smith installed
his wife in elegant quarters in New York
City, and their home was resort for
musical and literary people. When
the war broke out Capt. Smith became a
private in the Southern army. He was
captured while fitting out contrab and
ship, tried in Boston in 1867 and re-
manded to jail to await sentence.
Cakes Smith finally escaped and went
to England, being joined soon after by
his wife and children. At his request the
children were placed in a private
school while she went to Asia Minor on
visit to her father. On her return
she found her husband had secured g.
divorce and had remarked. No
trace of the children could be found
She searched all over for them, but
could find no trace until July 4, 1879,
when the daily papers contained an ac-
count of the capslzing of a sail-boat
near Fort Beaufort, n. c., and the
drowning Of two young ladies and two
little girls, father and son only escap-
ing. 1t was the Captain and his eldest
son who were saved. Capt. Cakes
Smith died in North Carolina a few
years ago, while Randolph, the surviv-
Ing son, is now farmer living near
this same village with his mother.

HaDDV Baby +!

Because he is healthy. There is no
baby comfort but IN health. There is no
baby beauty but in health.
All his comfort is from fat, and most of
his beauty. Fat is almost everything to
him. That is why babies are fat. 1t is
baby's wealth, his surplus laid by. What
he does not need for immediate use he
tucks under his velvet skin to cushion him
out and keep the hard world from touching
him.
This makes curves and dimples. Nature
is fond of turning use into beauty.
All life inside; all fat outside. He has
nothing to do but to sleep and grow.
You know all this-at least you feel it.
When baby is plump you are as happy as
he is. Keep him so.
But what if the fat is not there? Poor
baby we must get it there. To be thin
for baby, is to lose what belongs to him.
Why should the little mortal begin his life
with suffering
Go to your DOCTOR Don't be dosing your
baby when all he needs is little manage
ment.
