There was a large number Of peo-

There was large number OF peo-
pie present at the constable sale OF
the personal property ofJohn Cote,
at the Russell place, in Laporte
township, on Saturday last. The
following goods were levied upon !;
One horse, two COWS one jersey bull,
thirty sheep and eighteen lambs,
seventeen chickens and one spring
wagon. The sale was to begin at 2
D. m. When the constable and buy
ers arrived, however, nine sheep and
the old spring wagon was all that
could be found on the premises.
The nine sheep were sold and a
search was made for the remainder
of the property. The balance OF the
thirty sheep were found in the for-
est near Cooper's Retreat, with the
old gentleman standing guard over
them. He gave them up, however;
without causing any trouble, saying
"I thought if / could hide them
away l could save them from being
sold, but that you have found them,
YOU may take them in peace. ;" The
horse was found in the forest about
a half mile from his residence tied to
a tree. One black cow was found IL
the woods back Of the birch oil dis
till, near Eagles Mere, the back door
of the house was opened and inside
was found two sheep, ten lambs ano
Eve chickens. The jersey bull anc
one red COW were not found although
n general search was made for them
Gotie was asked to tell where he
had secreted them but refused to re
veal the secret, hence the sale wa
postponed until Monday, when the.
were found and sold by the constable

it is considered the poor condition
of the sheep. horse and cattle. The,
evidently have had but little to ca
and but little care during the pas

Now IS the time to clear up the
alleys AMI back yards, in town
which have been the receptacle of
filth and garbage all winter. 1t is a
duty you owe to the heath II youl
family as we'll as to the public. Few
ers and other maladics grow out o
the unhealthy exhalations from these
filth holes when warm weather comes
and unless prompt measures are
taken to clean up and purify these
unwholesome places an, epidemic o.
disease may set in.

The members of the Christian En-
deavor society have made the price
of the "Hindoo Tea to be given
on the evening of April 7th, Is cents
to all instead of 10 and Is cents as
they announced last week. One
could hardly expect grand spread
for this money, but we predict that
the repast will more than be worth
the price charged. The majority of
our people think the price should
have been Is and 25 cents.

Theproposed changes to the Baker
ballot law would improve that meas
ure greatly, and remove many OF the
intrieacies that loom ZIP as obstacles
to the voter. 1t would be less
troublesome to a citizen to make his
cross opposite the name Of the indi-
yidual for whom he desires TO vote
than to attempt an arrangement OF
his ballot in accordance with the
group provisions. Hundreds of i'm
perfect ballots have been placed in
the box as a result of this simple de-
feet, and thousands of men have cast
straight tickets when they desired to
divide their support, simply because
they refused to risk the legality of
their vote by attempting to follow a
rule that did not seem plain to them.
Under the circumstances we believe
it would be more satisfactory, and
occasion less trouble, if the voter be
permitted to indicate the individual
for whom he desifes to vote. Ten
or dozen additional amendments
have been proposed, all of which
would aid in improving the law. 1t
is believed that the new system is
the best ever conceived, but it can be
perfected and made better by remedy
ing the little defects that experience
has shown to exist in it.
