Go Up for Ninety Days.

Geo. Nesson, Clare Nunnemaker,
and VIM. Thee were arrested on Mon
day, charged with having stolen flax
from Mr.. Egeberg who lives west of
Brookings. The prisoners were tried
before Justice j. f. Brooke for grand
larceny. 1t was a question whether
the charge for grand larceny could be
proven owing to the value of the prop
erty taken, and they being willing to
plead guilty to petty larceny, the
pleading was accepted, and the justice
sentenced them to pay fine of $lOO
with 80 days in Jail, or SO days in jail
without payment of the money. 1t is
said they will go to Jail. As near as
the REGISTER can learn the circum-
stances Of tho case they are as follows:
Mr.. Egeberg was away Saturday even
ing and upon his return quite late
he thought something appeared to be
wrong at the granary and made an in
vestigation. He discovered that sew
eral of his sacks were missing and that
quantity of his flax was also gone,
also found wagon tracks leading to
and from the granary. Securing help,
they followed the wagon tracks, which
were made after the rain, and finally
traced them to Geo. Nelson's house,
northeast of Brookings. Here they
found what they were looking for-the
wagon and in it the sacks filled with
the flax and on the sacks Mr.. Ege-
berg's name. This was positive evil
dence and the arrests followed with
the above results. Nunnemaker was
not with the others when the theft
was made, but attended dance near
by for the purpose of watching Mr..
Egeberg, whom it was thought would
be there. This act caused Nunne-
makers arrest as an accessory to the
crime.

The Delineator for January which
is called the Holiday number, offers a
table of contents that is extremely
attractive and promises well for the
new year. The fashions are illus
| trated and described in the usual sat-
isfactory manner, and there is a spe-
cial article appropriate for the season
on Misses and girls party dresses. In
the college series a new departure is
made, and the description of life at
the co-educational institutions is be-
gun, the first article being on Cornell
from the pen Of Florence M. Holder,
'91. A very readable paper by Alice
McKenna treats of women in the tele-
phone exchanges. and the hygiene of
the eyes and ears is the subject of an
able contribution by A. B. Longstreet.
A second installment on dressing dolls
appears in the uses Of crepe and tissue
papers, and in Venetian iron work
are shown some very pretty and ORR
gnal designs for photograph easels to
be made at home. The spirit of the
time is reflected in the display of the
shops, and among the holiday books:
and there is an exceedingly pretty
good night" drill for children. Sea-
sonable cooking is made more valuable
to the housekeepers by the addition
of lists showing what fish, flesh, fowl
and vegetables are to be procured in
the markets. There is advice on how
to serve bananas, and continuation
of the articles on the home. There
are also "around the table" and floral
work, and new designs in knitting,
tatting, crocheting, lace making, etc.

A petition to the County Commits
sionerS for seed wheat at cost for
some Of the needy farmers next
spring has been quite freely circulated
in this vicinity and it is understood
the same petition is being circulated
in other portions of the county. The
proposition is that the commissioners
buy the wheat and let it out in the
spring, at actual cost, to those who
can furnish reasonable security and
are willing TO pay interest at the rate
of ! per cent. Judging from the
names appearing on the petition cir
culated here the proposition meets
with the approval of all classes. If
other portions Of the county are as
favorable to the plan as is the west
side, it is quite likely the commission
ers will take favorable action on the
matter.

1t is quite easy to ovcrfeed, and, as
1t is termed, 10 founder pigs. All there
Is to do is To give them all the food
they will eat. as they are so greedy as
to eat more than they can digest Then
tLey become stunted and do not grow,
and. being sick and weak. they soon
become prey TO lice and other vermin.
The remedy when this mistake has
been made is to stop the feeding and
give only little for several days until
they recover a proper tone Of the stom-
ach. Pigs should never get more than
half as much food as they will eat I'M
til they are put up for fattening. They
should also get little salt in every
feed; about one tcaspoonful. olevel. is
enough for large pig When pigs are
feeding on oak mast they should have
one feed a day Of milk slop with lit
tie bran or meal in it. Two quarts for
a hundrcd-pound pig are quite enough
under these circumstances.
