Speaking of sheep, the Boston Journal
of Commerce says: 'Sheep husbandry
and wool production will be an important
occupation in this country for generations
to come, either by itself or in connection
with general agriculture, whatever the tar
if policy of the United States may be.
Waterville, Allegheny county, in west
ern New York, has four women agricul-
turists, all successful. One has stock
farm. One was house maid; her brother
failed on the old homestead; she had saved
money; she bought the farm a few years
since, and all Its belongings aro rejuvena-
ted.
Nelson County Observer: Secretary OF
State Gresham with the aid of that Mon.
archal Sovereign Grover Cleveland, is
about to restore queen Liliuokalani to the
throne of the Hawaiian Islands. The
restoration of the tyranical queen would
be an outrage on the people of the Isl.
ands, an act un-American, and slap in
the face to every livery loving Citizen
Such pusillanlmous proceedings by the
heads of government should be sat down
on and that severely.

Get Pure Seed.

Smut has spread SO rapidly aver the
wheat fields of the state that over half of
this years crop is damaged by it, and de-
preciated in value from to 8 cents a
bushel. As smut infested seed will pro-
duce smutty wheat, pure seed is neces-
sary. The board of railroad commission
ers announce that the have partially com
pleted very favorable arrangements with
the railroad and elevator companies for
assistance III securing pure seed, the rail
road companies giving at least half rate
and possibly better. Defnate arrange
ments will be announced later. Those
having smut in their wheat should arrange
to take advantage of this seed, as a
change of seed is said to be favorable to a
good yield and good grain, aside from the
advantage of having pure and clean
seed.

The Stanton Burglars Again Escape.


The Leader last week chronicled the
arrest of two supposed thieves at Cham
berlin, South Dakota. They had been
disposing of various articles of hardware,
such as knives, razors &C., and finally
went to the post Office at that place and
stried to dispose of some stamps, and
among them being some periodical stamps
which at once aroused the postmasters
suspicious and they we're arrested and
post Office inspectors at once notified,
and two of them, Messrs. Clemants and
Fostness came on at once to work on the
case. Both are efficient thief trailers.-
The two arrested men gave their names
as Henry o. Peterson and Frank Vest.
While the appearance of West denoted
the self POSSESSED and hardened criminel,
and was warily passed, by the inspectors,
and their arts applied to Peterson who
looked the innocent shoat and was pressed
for squealer. This he did and admitted
that they committed the Stanton burglarly
and post Office robbery and gave some
details of the matter, 20 much of it in fact
that Inspector Clements at once started
for Stanton to forge the verifying chain.
Meantime through carelessness of the
Cham berlain officials the prisoners have
escaped and are still at large.
Thus it will be seen tho mysteries of
the burnings, burglaries and robberies
of six weeks ago, are becoming more
clear, and 1t is to be hoped that the rob.
bers will be re-captured, tried, and j #
found guilty, punished to the full extent
of the law.

Liberal Tree Claim Requirements.

Liberal Tree Claim Requirements.
Assistant commissioner Bowers of the
United States land Office has just rendered
two decisions constituting the provisions
of the timber culture law of March 3. 1891.
That law provided that persons who had
made timber culture and who had planted
trees for four years should be allowed to
prove up on the land by payment of $1.25
per acre. Bowers holds that if the entry
man has cultivated for any four years and
then ceased to do any more he is entitled
to the land if 10 con test has been COM
menced against him prior to the time
mlttee under the act. He holds that this
act was curative in intent and should be
construed literally; therefore any period
of four years shall be regarded as a com
pliance, providing there is no adverse
claimant.

George F .Dauberman's Antics

For the last year or two George
f. Dauberman, formerly of Free
burg, Snyder county, now of Mon
roc township, Juniata county, has,
it would seem, been cutting up high
links in the pension business. He
first began operations rs II pension
agent, going to ignorant persons
whom he learned were trying to Sc
cure pension, and by representing
himself rs a skillful hand at the bus
mess, secured quite II number of
cases. When pensions were sccur-
ed, George did not think it neces
sary to restrict himself to the fee
prescribed by the United States
Statutes. but would demand II large
slice of the back pension received,
in remuneration for his services. In
the casoof Mrs. Phcbc Kccly, u sol
dicr's widow, who resides near Rich
field, Il pension check for some SsGl
was mailed to her in care of Daubcr-
man, who took the check to Mrs.
keely while she was lying sick, had
her endorse it, drew the money,
placed one half TO Mrs. Korly's cred.
it in tho First National Bank Of
SeIinsgrovc. Out of the other hall
Dauberman claims to have paid
about Sl67 to other partics-thc
balance he appropriated, but, the
matter coming to the notice of the
pension Office, special pension of.
iicer was sent TO investigate the
matter, and Dauberman then gave a
mortgage for the excess on n farm
in Juniata county which he held in
his wife's name. Since, however,
Dauberman has been trying to es
cape from the mortgage by various
crooked and criminal methods. The
Pension Office seeing that he was
not acting in good faith, have had
l.hia -rrosted Cor takina illegal fees
ard il to have a hearing before Esq.
Hummel on the 2Sth inst. Not con
tent with farming illegal pension
,oes, Dauberman has been extend
mg MS operations into the field of
the black mailer. With the aid of
coufederates, he has succeeded in
bleeding several pensioners out of
various sums of money by threats OF
arrest for some supposed violation
of the pension laws. BY this means
it is alleged he secured S2ij from
Solomon III. Graybill
He is now under bail on charges
of forgery, conspiracy, personating
government officer, aud taking il,
legal pension fees. The field of his
operations embrace the counties OF
Snyder, Juniata and Duuphin. He
will be fortunate, indeed. If he cs
capcs the tolls of the law.
