The State Railroad Commissioners are on record,
in the case Of the application of the Westminster
Electric Railway Company as against the INTRO
duction of the trolley system within the limits of
large cities A few days ago the application OF q
Brooklyn company for permission TO increase lts
capital by 700 900 was granted, but condluohal
on no part of the increase being used to SUBSTITUTE
the trolley system of propulsion for horsepower
Yet, in spite of these decisions, there Is q grave
apprehension in Brooklyn that the Commissioners
at the hearing on May 9Th next may possibly
decide TO reverse their decision. This would be
a very unwise thing for them to do. 1t wouid De
o gravely suspicious thing 10 do. TWO Dig cor
porations over there, owning 600 miles ol surface
car tracks now using horsepower, nave asked
leave TO issue $4,000 900 Of additional bonds 10
nav for the machinery to run their cars on some
more economical plan. And pending before the
Commissioners is the application OF SUBURBAN
trolley road from the city limits to Coney Island
TO enter about one mile within the city limits
The Railroad Commissioners apprOVaI coulu DE
used only in justifying the Brooklyn
Aldermen in authorizing the employment
Of the trolley system all over The
city. The Aldermen's consent would have TO
be purchased but Aldermen are not absolutely
impervious to temptation, and with S9,OOOOOO
in new bonds on hand, there is no telling how
much tempting can be done Brooklyn citizens
cannot afford 20 remain silent when the Railroad
Commissioners meet on May 9th in the Council

"The pursuit of kno Wedge is COM

honorable and christianlike for one
person in the absence of others, (al-
though in the laudable pursuit of in

though foiled in the attempt, the
lack of the sense of honor was just
as great.

FANNIE BISHOP. Teacher.


While several of the surrounding
towns have been visited by burg
lars during the past few weeks,
Somers has at last been called upon,
and no doubt the majority of the
people in this vicinity will keep
their doors and windows securely
fastened in the future. It was on
Saturday morning last that the vii
lage was the scene of considerable
excitement when learning that dur
ing the night some bold rascals had
made the rounds breaking into five
houses and one store. When the
parties first commenced operations
is not known but it is certain that
they were in town at midnight.
Entering the house of Mr.. Elliott
Cook, through a window, they
struck light but were routed be
fore anything had been taken.
Calling at the residence OF Mrs.
Alex. Gibbon, they we're treated in
the same way, as some members OF
the family were awakened just IN
time and this attempt also proved a
failure Calling at the house OF
Mr.. Allen Williams, they were put
to fight, and next came the raid on
the home of Mr.. w. E. Balm. Here
they were little more successful
as they got away with revolver,
bunch of keys, and few dollars
in money In this bunch of keys
was found the key of the store
where the burglars went, but as no
money had been left there they
went away leaving the goods and
post Office unmolested. Next on the
list is Mr.. @. Peterson who is nj
nus a good overcoat and few ,ol-
lars Of hard earned money. Who
the parties are is still a mystery but
they are probably the same ones
who have been burglarizing the
other towns. The people of this
community are very indignant over
this kind of WORK as this makes the
third time since spring.

FARMERS ATTENTION.
THE ECONOMY WAGON SPRING

The best Spring in the world.
Eight hundred springs were sold in
1887 from September to December,
and all who bought are more than
pleased with them.
It is the most durable spring
made, the coils are of the best
crucible steel and the entire spring
is put up Of the very best material
and will LAST for years.
You have only to try the springs
to convince you of their value.
They will save your wagon and
your horses, and in hauling grain,
fruits, vegetables, and all the pro-
ducts that farmers haul going to
or coming from market with or
without load, you and your family
will ride as easy and comfortable as
in buggy or carriage; they are
the only wagon spring that will
ride easy without load or with a
load. We want you to put set on
your wagon and try them, and they
will speak for themselves. Ad-
dress all communications to

Pigs Tint PAY.

Mr.. Conner, of Hopsinton. N. H.,
speaks as follows about his practice:
my practice of late years has been to
slaughter two sets of pigs during year,
the March or April pig in December and
the September pig in May. If am
keeping ten COWS arrange their time Of
calving so as to have about an equal
flow of milk at all seasons of the year.
The slack, if any, is in July and August.
With that number Of cows will fatten
ten pigs within the year, making about
500 pounds of pork. My system of feed
ing is like this: The month old pig is
fed three or four days on new milk, then
gradually in the course of another week
changed to skinned milk
For the first two weeks use whole
grain, sweet or western corn, then COM
mence the addition Of middlings in slight
quantities When the pig is three or
four months old add little Indian meal
and shorts, but not to any great extent
until about six months of age. A pig thus
fed up to this time on feed containing
largely the bone and muscle elements
will have frame that will stand the
strain of heavy feeding during the sue
ceeding three or four months. About
700 pounds of meal per pig, with the ad-
dition of dollar or two's worth of mid
dlings and shorts during the growing
period, will make a pig weigh from 800
to $50 pounds The hams and sides, the
lard and pork from such pig find a
ready sale.-St. Louis Journal of Agri-
culture.
