bers of which are lawyers, bankers
doctors, railroad men and "sich, D
was pulled" by order of Governor
Lewelling. Of course, great roar
went up, and the governor and all
connected with the affair were con-
demned by christians {? and sin
ners alike-that is, the aristocratic
christians (?), who take a "snort"
behind the door, and the sinners
who can't bear to see good law
enforced. Well, they bawled, and
they roared, and they howled, and
the matter was rushed into the
courts--and the result was a decis-
ion by Republican judges in favor
of the g(ulilt-edged rummies.
But it didn't rest there. The
action of the courts in favor of the
club caused the county attorneys
throughout the state to food Attor-
ney-General Little's Office with let
ters, asking him to give an opinion
on the right of such organizations
to permit the use of liquors on the
premises. County Attorney Bishop,
Of Douglas county, called on Gen.
Little relative to the Lawrence clubs
and received an opinion, which we
give below:
cat this time, there is apparently
a question as to whether or not per-
sons have right to form clubs or
organizations for the purpose of So
cial enjoyment as is provided for in
e.. subdivision six of section 1855 of
the general statute, and what bust
ness can be engaged in under said
subdivision. The law itself does
not prescribe what shall constitute
social enjoyment, but if any of the
acts which the law prohibits should
be INDUCED in by such clubs they
could not receive the sanction of
the law. Under said section club
may be formed for social enjoyment,
but such club when formed cannot
indulge or engage for social amuse-
ment in anything which the law
prohibits. In answer to your
question whether or not it is vio-
lation of the prohibitory liquor law
to keep Intoxicating liquors on hand
to be drunk by the members of the
club who assemble for the purpose
of social enjoyment depends wheth-
er such acts are prohibited by Sec
ton l3 of the prohibitory liquor
law as amended in 1887, and which
is now in force
"This proposition has been sub
mitted to the supreme cours of Kan
sas and is reported in the thirty
two volumes of the Pacific reporter

ed down in February last. In the

That swine will be tidy is proven by the
fact that, if possible, they deposit all natu.
raj filth far from their bed and food. And
all this hue and cry about trichina! Who
is to blame? In the majority of cases the
parasite enters the hog by means of the
food he eats Rats and mice are particu-
arly affected by this PARASITE. They eat
up the pigs food and in turn. the latter
eats them up. Here is an excellent rea-
son for providing close floors. Further a
majority of people throw all ofal, diseased
meat, decayed vegetables, ETC., to the hogs,
at once atfordng ample reason why the
animals flesh is unfit for food. MIX from
diseased cows is often given them as well.
Queer, the inconsistency. They CT rtainly
would not eat and drink these things in
the first instance, but they eat them, or
put them on the market for others to eat,
after they have been assimilated and be-
come the flesh of the hog. The animal
deserves from all standpoints decent
house, decent food plenty of decent bed
ding and decent usage. Give them these
and pork will no longer antagonize home
and foreign markets, From humane
standpoint a warm sty and plenty of bed
ding should be provided, for few animals
feel the cold more keenly than hogs
This has been proven by their uneasiness,
squealng and shaking of their beds before
a storm or severe cold snap BY al
means give us the .'clean hog

Prices OfFarm Productions

Does the Eastern farmer recognize the
specially favorable prices which have
prevailed for some time, both tor what
is produced for sale from the farm, and
also. as well. for that which must be
purchased for home use: 1t is rare, IN
deed. that combination SO favorable all
around is experienced. OF the sta9e
products for sale direct from our Maine
farms on 4 large scale, hay and potatoes
have been clear up in value, while apples
thoughg plentiful in supply, commanded
full average prices. OF animal products,
poultry eggs never averaged better, yeals
and lambs are in the same list, pork is at
a premium and Young pigs are current as
bank notes. while butter and cheese never
were bringing their producers more mon
ey. Even beef at last is sharing in the
general advance and is now selling at
prices that put courage into the many
Maine farmers who are breeding and rear
ing the young stock from which it is made.
1t has been long time since such a round
of high prices has cheered the efforts OF
our farmers and contributed so literally
to their general prosperity. Fortunately,
too. this range of high prices for these
farm productions came at a time when our
farmers were prepared to reap an adj
vantage from them. They have been
liberal sellers. A large amount of money
has come into the hands of our farmers in
the last few months in exchange for these
products of their industry.
On the other hand prices of those COM
of which our farmers purchase
literally have ruled extremely low OF cost.
Corn has been low, flour as cheap as was
ever known, and sugar down to about halt
the former cost before the duty was taken
off These three products make up the
principal articles of consumption. In the
matter of the further necessities of boots,
shoes and clothing, prices are equally IA
vorable. In fact, that often wished for
Of high prices for what we have
to sell, and low prices for all we have to
buy, seems to be realized in nearly full
measure.-.l/aine Farmer.

Most cellars in winter are kept too Gle Sc
for healthiulness, and necessarily SO, peg
haps to exclude injury by freezing. 1t is
well known that apples and other fruit in
cellars are apt to show mould when brought
up. This mould is believed by many physi-
clans to be the melting cause otdiphtheria
and other scourges which often destroy
many lives late in winter and early spring
Now in the country the warmth of upper
rooms compels housewives to keep milk
in cellars to prevent souring before the
cream has risen. But before this is done
every particle Of decaying vegetation
should be removed from the cellar and
its walls and floor and ceiling be thorough
~ white washed. Lime is one of the best
absorbents OF moisture, and if the cellar
windows are kept open, will make the air
delightfully."- fresh and pure. Milk kept in
cellars not thus cared for becomes quickly
an absolute poison, as tabsorbs foul odors,
and besides furnishes the best breeding
places for the most dangerous bacili.
For health's sake it is always best to
have the milk cellar by itself, and on no
account to allow fruit or vegetables to be
kept in it. Yet we have Known farm cell
lars in which not merely potatoes but the
more pungent turnip and Rutabaga, and
even bushe or two of onions, are kept
in the same cellar with the milk. Of the
three vegetables the onion was perhaps
the one that was least harmful, though per-
haps not the least offensive

The Newport correspondent of the
Pittsheld Advertiser says; Six days OF
the week the people Of this village see
milk wagons coming in on various tho
roughfares and depositing their load at
the factory. Yet we do not understand
much of what it means to the people OF
this and surrounding TOWNSHIPS having
condensed milk factory in our eommun-
ity. During the first few months run OF
the factory 1000 quarts per day looked large
to handle, This quantity has almost i'm
perceptibly increased til to-day, May 80,
when the receipt of milk is 10000 quarts.
Think of this. Twenty-Five hogsheads of
milk are handled every day by the 80 peo-
pie at the factory, for which the farmers
receive S275 per day, or 100000 per an
mum, and this without deducting in any
particular from the other farm products,
making both the farm and the farmer
richer.

 BERLIN, May 12.-It is reported that the June, @s, sne Iuovi-e assrguoa psInY tne ne- osssity of ratifying tho commercial treaty with Servis, which comes into operation on July1 1.
 The center party has not yet issued its manifesto, owing to the retirement of Herren Bslestrein, Huene and Rorsoh, in fuential members of the electoral commit tee. Herr Lieber now will be the leading spirit of the party, which under his leader ship is likely speedily to assume a demo- cratic color. A number of centrists who voted for the army bill have decided to retire from parliamentary life in or der to minfmizs the effect of their seces- sion upon the cohesion party. The social democrats, who are spleAdidly organized, already have 8 list of 40 candidates and expect to double their representation in the next reichstag. In fact, the socialists are the only party entering the contest with full confidence and firm ranks.
 The conservative manifesto just issued is direct negstion of Csprivi's policy and shows the price he would have to pay for their support. The manifesto asks blunt. ly for the protection of German industry against foreign competition and declares that no further burden must be placed on the impoverished middle and agricultural classes.
 Altogether, the chances of a majority fo, the army bill in the next parliament are moi growing brighter, and the Kaiser may be obliged to exercise his power, through his control of majority of Prussicn votes ir the federal council. of repeated dissolu tions, thus provoking a conflict between the council and the reichstsg which would l weaken the whole empire.

 While the Republicans Were Confer. ring in the Lobbies the Ministers Rushed the Original Bill Through -Republicans Cheered by Crowds. MADRID, May 12 The oounter-motior of the republicans in the oortss against leaving the government free land in the matter of the municipal election was re- jected shortly. after 8 o'clock, 12e to 21, The republican deputies retired after 6 few minutes to the Hobbies to confer, leav. ing but two men. Almost immediately after their departure the men on watch summoned them back in all haste. It was too late, however. The original bill, post. poning the election, had already been rush. ed through the house by the ministers. The republicans at once withdrew from the building. AS they appeared in body in the street they were cheered repeatedly by the thiekening crowd. The news spread like magic and before the deputies reached the republican clubs thousands were marching behind them shouting ''Long live the republic"
 The balconies near the Republican club were thronged with men and women, who answered the cheers of those below as the deputies passed. The club was filled with representative republicans, who at once gathered in conference to decide upon their future line of action. Meantime TO- 900 men and women had assembled 200 yards from the parliamentary building and were cheering for the republic. The police ordered them to disperse. They refused to do SO. The police charged and were re- pulsed. Three companies of reinforce ments were summoned. All charged with drawn sabres, divided the mob and scatter ed the groups through side streets.
 At 9:15 when the eortes adjourned most of the people had been driven off and the ministerialists were in no danger of being molested. At 11:30 the streets near the middle of the city are still crowded. The republican club is surrounded by thou sands of cheering men and women. The republican deputies are contemplating re- signing in e body from the cortes. The government is taking all precautions to protect the public buildings.
