For Tampcring With the Malls

OMAHA, Neb.. June IA frail looking
lad. about 16 years of age, has been in
jail here several days and was TODAY
taken before the United States grand
jury to answer the charge of temperlnr
with the mails. His name is Harry
Doxie and he has lived at Galloway. this
state, where his father and mother kept
hotel. the only other member of the
family beng Il sister of the boy, aged
about II. Among the boarlers at the
hotel was man who had not been in the
house long before he began to show more
attention to the handsome laudladv than
was proper. The husband pro; esteL but
the man continued. Finally the husband
became disgnsted, and left home, going
to some point i'll Kansas, and about the
same time the boarder went to Laramie.
Mrs. Doxie remained in Galloway with
two children, and with her mother. In
short time a letter arrived from
Laramie, written by the abse. t
lover to Mrs. Doxie, asking her to come
to him and bring the little girl with her.
Harry opened the letter. his suspicious
having been aroused by the post mark.
He then decided to keep 1t from his
mother, but it was found by his grand
mother, who upheld her daughter in her
course, and thereupon the old woman
lodged complaint against the boy,
charging him with interfering
with the mails. Wher brought
before the grand jury, Harry
told his story in simple way, which ex-
cited the sympathy OF the iurymen. He
SAID he kept the letter because he
was afraid his mother would take his sis
ter with her and he dld not want the lit
tie girl to be subjected to such evil in
iluences.

The merits of the various sheep dips

The merits of the various sheep dips
are undergoing practical tests and vigor-
ous discussions just now. The order
that all sheep infected or exposed to in
fection must be dipped, has created a
big demand for that commodity, and
people naturally want the best. 1t is
said, on authority of those who have in
vestigated, that Coopers sheep dip,
which has been quite extensively adver-
tised and seemed to be a favorite, is in
furious and its use attended with dam
gerous results. The best dip III said to
be that recommended by Uncle Jerry
Rusk, in one of the publications of the
national agricultural department. This
is an easily prepared solution of lime
and sulphur.
