Catherine Ging's Murderers.

MINNEAPoLIs, Dec. 17.-It is not likely
that G. A. Blixt, the self-confessed muir
derer of Catherine Cling, will be hanged.
He will be brought before Judge Hicks,
of the district court, today, where he
will enter a plea of guilty. Sentence
will not be passed, however, until he
has been used as witness for the state
in the Harry Hayward case, and then it
is expected that he will be given life
sentence. The court has appointed
Judge j. R. Shaw, w. A. Hawn and F.
H. Carlton, three able criminal lawyers,
to defend him, but when they attempted
to hold consultation with him yester-
day, Blixt refused to have anything to
do with them. He is still in the st.
Paur jail, and continues to protest that
he is innocent, and claims that when he
tells his story there will be some sensa-
tional disclosure.
Claus A.. Blixt, the self-confessed MUIR
derer of Catherine Bing, was arraigned
in the district court this morning and in
a weak voice pleaded not guilty. The
case was set for trial January 7th, in
spite of Attorney Odell's demand that it
be not set earlier than January 9th.

Trial of Treasurer Boggs.

TACOMA, Dec. 1.-THE trial of ex-Sec-
retary and Treasurer George W. Boggs
was begun today in the criminal depart
ment of the superior court. The charge
is embezzling nearly $25, 900 of city funds
by placing worthless securities in the
bank and receiving credit as cash. The
defense will allege that all the acts of the
treasurer were ordered by the council.
The question largely turns on whether
or not the securities placed in the bank
are worthless. This morning jury was

A Three-Cornered Fight.

Mexico, Mo-, Dec. 17.-Saturday
morning John Atkin, farmer living a
few miles west of this city, was en- route
here on business. When ne got within
two miles of this city he was halted by
William Mcintyre and his son. An old
feud was renewed and fight ensued, in
Atkin was stabbed in the back and ter
ribly cut about the face and head. Nc
Intyre and his sson were seriously beaten
in the face and on the hands. All are
well-to-do farmers. William Mcintyre
is brother of Colonel D. II. Mcintyre,
ex-attorney general of Missouri, and a
brother of Representative-elect T. A.

the morning, then feeding. The food
for the cows consists of twenty-five
pounds of good silage, two pounds of
wheat Seconds, and usually pound
of oat dust; il not the latter some
other grain to the amount, making
total of three pounds for each of the
best mixers, and a little less 60 the
others. AS soon as the silage is eaten,
a lock of hay, two or three pounds for
each, is put into the managers, and
needed time given to eat it. About two
hours after the morning feed, the COWS
are watered. The water is in their
managers, and the troughs are fitted
with covers, so that they cannot lift
them up at will, as it is not we'll for
the COWS TO take seventy-five pounds
of water into their systems immedi-
ately after eating, as they would do.
The cows Immediately after eating lie
down and chew their cuds for ON hour
or more. Then they are watered and
the troughs left open for the day, so
that any COW can drink ms she may like
after tho ''lirst drink" The stables
are cleaned in the morning, and the
trenches sprinkled with road dust and
then partially filled with the fresh,
long manure from the horse stalls.
This combination makes good alb
sorbent and deodorizer. At night af-
ter milking, the feeding is repeated,
and when the cows are looked after
towards bedtime, the water troughs
are again opened for the night, some
dry sawdust is thrown along the heel
planks, and the stables are shut up for
the night.
In building the stable, while very
economical in cost, the idea was to
give each COW plenty of space, and so
each COW has GAO cubic feet of stable.
Another thing was the avoidance of
what might be termed "hothouse"
conditions, and so sunshine was
sought. 1t comes in on three sides of
the stable during the day. The tenn
perature of the stable is maintained as
nearly as possible at forty-five degrees,
The water is not warmed, but is kept
in close iron tank IN the stable and
pumped every day from q deep rock
well, and so does not vary much as it
runs into the troughs from fifty de-
grees. OF course the cows have good
beds of straw and are carded now and
then, but they are given enough free
dom so that they can perform their
own toilets fairly well. am not
believer in the high feeding of con-
centrated grains. The individuality
of the COW is a thing that is born with
her to do a certain performance, and
feeding to create a production beyond
born individual capacity has never
been accomplished except in a limited
way, and then has cost more than the
returns from it were worth. The
great horse Directum eats no more
oats than "plug," and no amount of
oats will get speed out of the latter.
1t is the same way with COWS.

THE SERVANT OF SMALL THINGS.

There is prospect that, before we
are much older, nearly all our house.
keeping will be done by machinery.
Not only by special machines for spe-
cial purposes, but by great co-opera-
tive machinery for the whole house
keeping.
But the faithful housekeeper is
quite sure that there is one servant
who will never be supplanted-tha
servant of small things. The servant,
paid or unpaid, who picks up the
trifles every one else drops, and puts
away the articles every one else for
gets. The servant who carries up and
down stairs odd cups and glasses and
spoons; who finds overshoes and states
and schoolbooks and hats; who
gathers the scattered playthings and
discovers the misplaced book or sew
