THE STATES ATTORNEYSHlP.
Interesting Summary OF the Years 1t Was
Held by Different Persons.

To tho Editor of the Free Press:
/ have noticed in the recent issues Of your
paper several articles in respect to the prec-
edent of electing States attorney, and the
whole question seems to hinge on the point
whether it is customary to give that officer
two or four years, if the general rule is
followed. Considerable has been said in the
articles, but no particular facts are given
and, therefore, that tho county may know
the exact situation and act intelligently, the
writer has taken especial pains to get the
exact facts for more than a century, and
herewith submits them

Remarkable BOWlderS.

Accepting reported measurements, tho
largest cratic block, or bowlder, as yes
recognized in the United States, and
probably in the world, is in the town OF
Madison, n. H., and, according TO Pro-
fessor Crosby, of the Boston Institute OF
Technology, has the following maximum
dimensions Length, 50 feet; width, in
excess OF As feet; height, 80 to 81 feet;
contents. 80, 600 cubic feet; and prob
able weight, Is, 800, 900 pounds, or T.
ESQ tons.
Next to this n size is undoubtedly the
great rock IN the town of MontVllie, New
London County, Connecticut, generally
known by its Indian designation as
"Sheegan," and also as "Mohegan. "A
the opinion OF some, this rock IS an
isolated granite protuberance, and not
true ''erratic" or bowlder; but recent ex-
aminations have seemed to completely
negative the first supposition,, Its ap-
proximate maximum dimensions are:
Length, rs feet; width, IS feet; height,
90 feet; contents, 10000 cubic feet;
weight, 5000 tons. If allowance be made
for an immense fragment which has
fallen from its northeast side, the dl-
mansions and cubic contents of "Shee-
gan" would approximate more closely to
those of the Madison bowlder. One point
that goes far toward substantiating the
claim on behalf of the "Sheegan" rock
that it is true bowlder, is the number
of undoubted powders of an immense
size and of the same granite which exist
in comparative proximity. - Popular

Rough Diamonds in a Chickens Crop.

A few days ago G. Jacobson, of Hast
ings, Neb., received word from firm
in Butte City, Montana, that one Of their
customers, Mrs. White, had found
three rough diamonds in the craw of a
chicken sold by them few days before
Christmas. Mr.. Jacobson is large
poultry shipper, and supplies his hennery
with gravel from the bed of the Blue
River, seven miles south of Hastings.
The curiosity of several miners in Butte
City was aroused by the discovery, and
Jacobson has received many letters in
quiring as to where he secured the sand.
Mrs. White submitted the three rough
stones to jeweler in Butte for inspec-
ton, and he pronounced them diamonds
and offered her good price for them,
but she refused and has sent them East
to be cut.

constructed between January 1, 1891, and
January l, 1892, which brings the total
mileage Of the United States up to III, 1906.
This is a decrease Of 1874 miles from last

during any year since 1885, during which
only 1881 miles of track were laid.

A NIGHT IN JUNE
MAURICE FRANCIS EeAE.

Rich fs the scent of clover in the air
And from The woodbine moonlight and the dew
Draw finer essence than the daylight knew;
Low murmurs and an incense everywhere!
Who smoke? All, surely in the garden there
subtle sound came from the purple crew
That mount wistaria masts, and there's clue
or acme strange meaning In the rose-scent rare
Siiance itseIf has voice in these June nights.
Who spokeg Why, all the air is full of speech
OF Gods own choir, all singing various parts,
Be quite and listen; hear the very lights
In yIonder town, the waving of the beech,
The NAPLES shades, cry OF the Heart OF hearts
On such night spoke raptured Juliet
From out the balcony; and young Sosaiind
Wandered in Arden, like the April wind;
And Jessica the bold Lorenzo met;
And Perdita her silver lilies get
IN some quaint vase, TO scent tie Princes mind
With thoughts of her; and then did Jaques IND
Sad tales, and from them bitter sayings get.
To all of these the silence Gang their thought
To all of these ii gave their thought new grace;
Soprano of the lily, roses lone
And pa ssionate contralto, oak boughs bass
All sing as though we bring them, be 1t fraught
With the sad love of lovers, or Gods own.
This sweetness and this silence fill my soul
With .ongings and dull pain that seem to break
Some chord within nay heart, and sudden take
Life cut of life; and then there sounds the roll
Of wheels upon the road, the distant toll
OF bells within the town; these rude Things
make
Life wake to life; and all the longings shake
Their airy wings; swiftly Fly the pain and dole.
Again the silence, and the mute sounds sweet
Begin their speaking; | alone am still.

And you, clematis2 'Void the joye that fill

PAID THE DEATH PENALTY.

Clinton f. Dixon Hanged at Omaha "a,
the Murder of Corporal Carter.
OMAHA, Neb., June 24.-Clinton n
Dixon, the murderer of Thomas Carter,
was hanged this morning in a stockado
just outside the Douglas county jail.
The execution was conducted by
United States Marshal Slaughter
Dixon's neck was broken and
his death was apparently pain
less. He walked to the scaffold
unfalteringly and allowed tho
moose and black cap to be adjusted
without tremor. He refused to say q
word on the scaffold except in prayer.
The trap was sprung by means OF cleo
tricity and after the fall Dixon's body
remained almost motionless Recently
Dixon had become Catholic and he
died in that faith, the last rites OF the
church having been administered to
him by Father Rigge.
Dixon was a private In the Sixth
United States Cavalry. stationed at
Fort Niobrara, and his victim, William
Carter, was Corporal of his company.
Carter had been ordered by his captain
to drive a colored woman, with whom
Dixon was intimate, from the post,
which he did. 1t was as a consequence
of this that Dixon shot him dead.
Dixon was only 90 years old.

Good Housekcapers.

Young women make a big bIunder if

1t is gracvous, social an1 moral wrong
when girls are brought up helpless in
household life. How often We see mothers
busily engaged in domestic duties, like a
slave in order that the girl may enjoy
every laxury and do nothing; indeed,
many hardly let their daughters soil their
hands. No woman ought to marry who
cannot dock well to theways Of her house

CURED to work, she ought to be able to see
whether the work is done in proper man.

The reason why so many men do not

envy, jealousy and suicides of the single,

English Syst< ma.

The English shepherds believe that the
fock should'have frequent change of feed
and pasture, and they often thanee pasture
during the grazing period. They do this
VIXEN the fields is to all appearances af-
fording plenty of feed, for they deem the
fresh pasture of eminent valee to the
sheep. TIE English shepherds do not
consider it good mans cement to keep in
one pasture till there is visible necessity
for removing them. They accomplish
this by hurdles of netting-wire, and have
a new pasture for the flock quite often :.
1t is not only good plan to have the
pasture changed frequently, but the same
can be said Of the feed in winter seas on
when tie majority of the focks are OF dry
feed. We car grow turnips in this coun-
try, besides we have a variety of feeds
which are adapted to the wants of sheep,
and we can give change each Gay of the
wee and not feed tie same either. The
feed is not as high as it is in England,
ence there is all the more reason why a

A FIGHT WITH CACTUS.

! Risky Story of Western Misasivent ure
Told by tho Colonel
"Halft What's that?" said our leader
IL sharp whisper.
1t was clear moonlight night in the
extreme In the southwest of Mexico.
L was visiting frield who conducted :.
large ra, ch and hacienda there.
A local revolt had just been qHelled in
the nelghbornood, and spirit of lawEess-
ness stIlled prevailed in the atmosphere.
Only the night before my friend had been
fired upon and one of his storehouses rob
bed by a band of Indians some fifteen or
twenty strong. Elrly in the morning
four of us, under the leadership of our
host, mad set upon the track of the rob-
oers.
We were well mounted and resting a
few hours at noon, had followed hard after
them till nearly midnight. If we met
them in fair field we would drive them
into quarters like cows to pen, but we
had no mind to run into a trap In the
dark with Eve against fifteen, hence eau
ton.
Halt! What's that?' oar leader had
whispered. We had come to the edge of
dense woods and across an open space,
upon the bow of low sandnill, clearly
outlined in the moonlight, against the sky
we had discovered dozen or more half
naked fellows. with their arms extended
IN every direction, e-gaged IN some sort
of weird, fantastic dance.
We could not see their legs, for the
tops of the trees beyond the hill rose waist
high, making a black background, but
their arms moved to aud fro and we could
easily imagine their legs keeping COM
pany.
Those are the thieges!' our host nut
tered. Il know them. even at night.

knowing how many there are of you, and

you therei If one of you move III shoot

The wind had been blowing through

moment it ceased, and in the deep silence
which settled down upon the forest in sucl
a mementaIy lull we waited the result.
Every Indian ceased his dancing ant
stood like statue outlined against the
sky.
Come down here, now" shouted oul
host. Come quickly, too, for the frs
man who makes any trouble drops dead ;
We could hear sound, as of a hurried
consultation of some sort, going on upo,
the hill for moment, but the wind sprung
up again before we could distinguish
single voice, and, to our utter astonish-
ment, the fellows actually began thei
solemn dance again.

host, but they kept on dancing and he die

his own at this season TO make family
supply and cheat the doctor.
Let the girls handle the horses. 1t will
never come amiss to miss to know how
to manage horse in the stables as well as
to drive or ride.
Lambs that are fit TO go early ought to
go if they are small, provided ther are fat.
a small, fat lamb, and a good broiler
chicken bring more than ever again.
When the farm owns the farmer it is
