Hope For The Farmer


secretary NMortop said that o..
about 3per cent. of all the Inerchant.G
escape failure, whereas hardly 3 pt
cent OF the farmers fail. The stalls
tics really show that agriculture is
safer than banking manufacturing or
railroading taking all things into ac
count. There is no farmer of good
sense and good health anywhere in
the West Mr.. Morton declares, who
cannot make II good living for him
self and family, and that is as well ag
majority of men are doing in any 9th
er pursuit. The man who owns
farm and sticks TO it is certain to
profit by it in the future. There is
practically no more land to be added
to area of cultivation. The supply of
agricultural products has reached its
limit IN the United States, and must
now remain stationary, while the de
mand will go on increasing every
year. This implies gradual i'm
provement III prices, and steady
appreciation of the value of farming
lands.

Two Important Rulings.
on TROUT FISHING AND THE KILLING or
DOGS.

Judge Furst made rulings last
week in the Centre Co. court, which
will be of interest elsewhere. One case
brought before the court was a
young man who had been catching
speckled trout with rod and line
with several hooks upon it. Coun-
sci for the fisherman argued that as
he had caught the trout with % rod
and line, he had not violated the
law Judge Fmst ruled that no
species of fish was more protected
10y law than spockled trout, and that
the intcnt of the law clearly is that
not more than one hook should be
used to catch them. The defendant
was found guilty.
The other ruling was i'm II doc
case. Mrs. Kate Brown brought
suit against Wesley Straw for shoot
ing her dog. The animal was
valuable one, MS it protected her
property and she always took him
along with her when she was alone.
The dog went away and straycd into
Straw barn yard, where he gave
flock of sheep some trouble. Straw
shot the dog. The Judge ruled that
while the dog was Il valuable one TO
Mrs. Brown, he was tresspassing on
another mans property, and as the
law gave every man the right 20
shoot dog when annoying sheep,
the defendant should be acquitted.
- Centre Democrat.

this idea. Judge Furst is ily.fsh-
or, we understand, and we stop the
press TO ask him how many flies he
uses on his line when he casts for
trout ! The same sauce that is serv-
ed for the goose might be good for
the gander, and our common law
should not so discriminate betweeua

A VILE SNEAK.
Such Must Be the Man Who AS.
saulted Bertha Holaj in
the Night.
Robert Durgin on Trial for the
Despicabie Offense in Judge
Egan's Court.

Robert Durgin is on trial before Judge
Egan and jury on charge OF making
a criminal assault OH Bertha Hola1, an
unmarried woman twenty four years OF
age. She was domestic in the apart
ments of Mr.. Durkey, Prospect terrace,
and had room OH the opposite side OF
the hall from Durgin. The girl is not
bad-looking, and tells damaging story
of how she was assaulted on the night
of April IL, 1892.
A man went to her room and assaulted
her when she was asleep. On awaklng
she engaged in a terrific struggle with
the man, who had gotten into bed with
her and begun the assault before she
awoke. Her nightgown was exhibited
in court to show that it had been torn
in the struggle. She claimed that her
limbs had been bruised in the unequal
contest, and that the man caught her
hands and held them over her mouth so
that she could not cry out.
The testimony as given on the witness
stand by the girl made oot narrowing
case, but the details are not suitable for
publication. Some months ago civil
action for damages by the girl against
Durgin was called for trial, but after
the jury had been impaEeled the girl
left the court room and could not be in
duced to return to give her testimony
in the case. and nothing was left but to
dismiss. The girl was subjected to
long and rigid examination by the de-
fense yesterday. She WAS the only wit
ness examined. The trial will proceed
today.

CAN HE BE FORCED ?
Trial of the Mandamus Case OF
Robert Seeger Against
McCardy.
Lawyers Argue Pro and Con, and
the Judge Takes 1t Under
Advisement.

The application of Robert Seeger to
compel Comptroller j. j. McCardy to
sign the contract with the city for light
ing certain parts of the city with gaso-
line lamps was heard yesterday by
Judge Otis. The city was represented
in an extended argument by Corpora
ton Attorney Leon L. Chamberlain.
Hon. G. N. Bell appeared for the comp
troller. Harris Richardson and +. w.
M. Cutcheon appeared for Mr.. Seeger.
The day was taken up in the argu-
ment. MFR. Richardson argued at length
in favor of a mandanu5 being issued.
Mr.. Chamberlain took up considerable
time in arguing and supporting with
authorities the proposition that the con-
tract was invalid Oh the following
grounds:
First-Tbat the city has not the power to
make q contract running five years, for the
reason that the term of office of the council
awarding the contract expires before the
date of the expiration of the eonsract
granted.
Second-On the ground that the contract
does not conform to the advertisement for
competitive bids, nor to the bid put in by Mr..
Seeger.
Th1rd-That the bond was not made III
conformity with the requirements OF the
statutes.
Fourth-That Mr. Seegers bid was not in
fact the lowest bid as required by law. and
that the lowest bid was as matter of fact
withdrawn at the instance of Mr.. Seeger
himself.
Fiflh-That the CITY has no power to con-
tract an Indebtedness beyond 50 per cent of
the uncoileeted tax levy, for any specific pur-
pose. and that prior to the making of this
contract the city had actually contracted an
indebtedness beyond the specified limit
At the hour of adjournment Mr.. Rich
ardson was in the midst of an argument,
which Will be continued this morning,
Oh the motion made by Mr.. Chamber
lain to dismiss the application for a
mandamuS.

PIGS IN CLOVER.
They Are of the Blind Variety
and Are Reported at
Large.
Merriam Park District Alleged to
Know of Them, but Miller
Doesn't.

Previous to the last city election
great cry was raised about the sale of
liquors in the Merriam Park district.
One of the many promises made by the
enthusiastic young statesmen of the q.
o. p. was that as soon as the reform adj
ministration took hold of the reins this
disgrace and annoyance to the residents
in the vicinity would be wiped out. There
was in reality not much ground for the
fuss, the howl being started and plugged
up by an ex-alderman who resided in the
vicinity.
Since the reformers took hold, how
ever, the blind pigs have been allowed
to run unmolested, and the eXalderman
has been blind, deaf and dumb as far as
any violations of the liquor laws were
concerned. The grand jury which has
just completed its labors returned sev-
eral indictments against keepers OF the
places where LIQUOR is sold in the local
ity, and the parties indicted will be
arraigned in the district court i'll day
or so.
License Inspector Miller. who has
charge OF the LIQUOR licenses. and Is
supposed to be Oh the lookout for viola
tions of the law governing the sale or
liquor. expressed great surprise at the
indictments being returned. For the
last five months the license inspector
has been, at least so he says, endeavor-
ing to catch the ''blind piggers." but
without success.

to Know Just what to Do. Both at
Home and while Away.
Nearly everybody is planning to do more
or less travelling at this season. Many people
who can afford it go to Europe and spend
great deal of time abroad. Today you meet
man in Boston, and next week you en-
counter him in San Francisco. Those who
have not the time or means to take these ex-
tended trips go to some summer resort or
take little trip occasionally. This is right
and proper. We need change, but all this
running about causes fresh risks to health
and life, although the travelling may be taken
of climate and habits, change of water and
diet loss of sleep, and all these things make
people sick at very inconvenient times and
IN unexpected places. People under such
circumstances are often seized with sickness
where suitable medical help or remedies are
not at hand. Old complaints are awakened
which frequently take fresh hold, aad often
result in serious sickness or death. At such
times illness may often be warded off by the
prompt use of some good medicinal stmu-
land. There is no stimulant equal to pure
whiskey, and the purest medicinal whiskey
upon the market today Is Duffy's Pure Malt
1t has been before the public for years 1t
may say that other whiskeys are just as good,
but it should be borne in mind that other
whiskeys do not accomplish what Duffy's
Pure Malt has accomplished for the past
twenty years. 1t has saved the lives of
thousands, and It's prompt use has prevented
the DANGERS which changes Of the season
and incidents OF travel always occasion.

Judge Cory Dismfsses a Case of
Selling to a Minor. 63
The case of John THEM, a saloon
keeper at South Wabasha and Augusta
streets. charged with selling beer to a
minor, was dismissed in the police court
yesterday. The complaint, issued on
information given by Patrolman Imhoff,
alleged that nine-year-old girl was
sold beer on May 2S. When the case
was called yesterday the girl, whose
name is Hartman, was called to the
stand. On account of her youth Judge
Cory interrogated the child as to wheth-
er she understood the nature of on oath.
The little girl said she knew if she told
an untruth she would be whipped. This
was not considered sufficient, in the es-
timatlon of the court, and the case was
accordingly dismissed and the defend
ant discharged.
