TESTING OF THE STOCK Law ORDINANCE.
A case to test the validity OF the stock
law, recently enacted. and which has just
gone into effect, came up before Squire
Wallace, last Tuesday afternoon.
City %Impounder Hamlet had taken up
two small pigs, which were running at
large. belonging to John Mulligan. Null
ligan, through his attorney, U. g. Phetz-
ing, repleyined the pigs and gave bond for
their possession, as was mentioned in last
weeks INTELLIGENCER.
The case came to trial, last Tuesday,
before Judge Wallace, City Attorney
silverman appearing for the city, and
Mulligan's land the hog's) interests
being represented by Mr.. Phetzing.
The case presented both a serious and
a ludicrous aspect; serious because OF the
Importance 1t bears to the welfare of our
city, ludicrous because Of the amusing
features entering into the case.
Messrs. Silyerman and Phetzing were
in their prime at repartee, and the clash
of scathing remarks was frequent. His
honor had his hands full to keep the
httOFutyo Wibhih iihiilo, ao oo iuC
spirit was shown.
All the law points conceivable were
brought up, and law books came down
from their law shelves and were busted
off, and were brought into use. Legal
technichalities were thick in the atmos-
phere. All in ALL it was q lively proceed
Ing, and was watched with much interest
by our citizens.
The case was ended Wednesday after
noon. and Justice Wallace look the mat
ter under advisement. He will not decide
the Issue until this afternoon. But from
a preponderance OF the law and also of the
argument, we think the city will be-
sustained.
We have been too long in getting this
law enacted to easily give 1t up, and W.
trust that the city's best interests will b,
sustained. Let laws for the improve,
ment OF our city receive the neces.
sary support.

Endeavor principle will, no doubt, receive
a new impetus from the meetings held

Mr.. A. w. Smith and Miss Lizzie Smith
favored the audience. with bea utiful solos.
1t is unnecessary to speak words of praise
concerning these solos, as all know the
vocal ability of Mr.. Smith and Miss
Smith.
Miss Annie Mountjoy then read a we'll
written essay upon 1.-THE origin of the Y.
p. s. G. E." In a brief way she thorough
ly ~canvassed the principles of the En-
deavor, and the idea which gave rise to
its birth.
Others, both those connected with the
Christian church Endeayor, and members
from the other societies, made remarks
appropriate to the day. All in all, the
exercises at the Christian church were CT
much profit and entertainment.
In the evening the Baptist Endeavor
welcomed the other endeavor societies,
and a crowd that well filled the auditor
ium of the church. The president, Miss
Berta Richardson, led in her usual pleas

music was furnished by the string band

feature of the evenings exercises.
Rev. w. l. Cole, of the Baptist church,
made a very interesting and Instructive
talk upon the Endeavor. His remarks
were well selected.
Rev. IT. p. Walton, OF the Presbyterian
church, also made a talk upon Endeavor
principles. 1t was a most pleasant and
instructive talk Upon the society whose
growth has astounded the world.
The visitors from the other societies
made remarks pertinent to the day OBJ

FOSTER HAS LOST HIS GRIP.
Inundated by the Presidents Shabby
Treatment of Him.

Inundated by the Presidents Shabby
Treatment OF Him.
The indications are that Charles FoS-
ter, secretary of the treasury. has lost
his pull in Ohio politics, as well as
with the president.
Foster once was 4 power in political
affairs in his state, but his day has
passed. Once he could be elected to
congress in nearly any district the
democrats. when they had the gerry
Wandering power, could fix up for him.
He was one of the first artful and sue
cessful political "boodlers" in Buck
eyedom. But in the last ten years doz-
ems of men have appeared on the scene
who outclassed him.
1t is said by those on the inside at
Washington that Mr.. Foster feels deep
ly what is termed the presidents shah
by treatment of him now In the APP
pointment of a successor to Assistant
Secretary Nettleton. the chiefs treat
ment of the secretary is said to have
been humiiiating.
It is the talk among Fosters friends
in Ohio that were it not for the scandal
it would cause in the closing weeks of
the administration, he would resign.
On the other hand it is asserted that
the same reason. is all that prevents the
president from asking him TO retire
The statement that Senator Sherman
intended resigning his seat and allow
ing Foster to succeed him is bosh. Cir
cumstances could hardly arise in the
present legislature under which Foster
could be Standardization Globe.

ABOUT FREE SUGAR.
Facts Which Republicans Do Not Give il
Full.

EactS winch Republicans do Not Give In
Full.
The republicans are constantly boast
ing that they have given us a free
breakfast table. The only things on
breakfast table that are free are tea
and coffee.
Sugar is taxed. and the tax and the
bounty combined tax the people an
nually about S25, 600. 900. The Kansas
City Journal says:
About IS ooo. 900 will be paid out in sugar
bounties this year, which is $40 coo 900 less than
the people wodld have pay If the duties were
restored on sugar
The bounty is now over 50. 600, OOO.
Raw sugar is free, but refined sugar is
taxed at half a cent a pound, and this
duty is a subsidy to the sugar trust
amounting to about SIC, 600, 900.
To tax refined sugar and raw sugar
alike at half cent pound and repeal
the sugar bounty would make a diff
ference of S25. OOO. 600 annually in the
public revenues and would not increase
the price of sugar to the consumer.
The fact that the sugar trust has
free raw material, and the further fact
that 1t has protective duty of half a
cent on its product are carefully con-
cealed by the republican journals
which are constantly boasting OF free
breakfast table. 1t Is well to give the
whole truth when we talk about such
matters, and the truth is that sugar
consumers are taxed S25, 000. 900. of
which one-third goes to American sugar
planters and two-thirds to the sugar

SHEEP SHEARINGS.

ESPECIALLY when ON dry feed sheep
need a good supply of water.
To KEEP Sheep healthy they require
a frequent change of food.
LOOK over the flock and sell the sheep
that show the least improvement.
CARE should be taken to clean out
the hangers of feed racks regularly.
INFERIOR sheep are often drug when
good sheep sell readily at good prices.
A SHEEP kept thrifty will shear a
heavier and better fleece than one
poorly kept.
NEVER fasten the nests to the wall;
it increases the work of keeping the m
clean.
IF any of the ewes have poor teeth it
will always pay to feed them ground
feed.
In commencing to feed grain to sheep
feed small quantity at first and grad
ually increase.
The farmer that is too careless to
give sheep good care viii do better
with some other class of stock.
THE days are for feeding and the
nights are for refuse and with no
stock is this more the case than with
sheep.
SHEEP of different ages and condi-
tons should be sorted into different
lots and the weaker ones have a little
better feed.
WITH comfortable surroundings.

them with cornmea1 and wheat bran,

slamming on them or of their injuring
themselves by crowding in.-Live Stock

How to Cool Milk.

Milk should never be cooled in q
stable, for while the milk is warm the
heat arising from it tends to carry
away any stable odors. But the mo-
ment it becomes cooler than the sur
rounding air. this air, with all its i'm
purities, tends to condense upon the
milk, and thus give it any foreign taste
that may be present. Milk then should
be cooled as quickly as possible after
being drawn, and this If properly done
viii remove the animal heat and odors
and improve the keeping qualities.
Various contrivanees are made for
aerating and cooling milk. 1 have
never tried any of those that force air
through it, but the one in which the
milk runs over pipes containing cold
water is very successful. and will make
the milk as cool as necessary.-T. A.
Stanley, in Farm aud Home.
