what to DO with an Estray.

Between Nov. and March 81 you can legally
take up an estray only when the same Is tres
passing on your premises. After taking up the
animal you must within fifteen days send Sc
to county paper, and have it advertised in
three issues. The law says So, but the Record
charges es for a single animal and s. for more
than one, So being the limit, whatever may be
the number of estrays published by one person
in one notice. If an owner appears he must
pay back TO you the amount spent by you for
advertising. II the animal has brands, describe
the brands by registered letter to the secretary
Of state. If the brand is recorded with that Off
eial, he will inform you who owns the brand
You must also, in case there is no brand or, If
branded, the secretary of state knows nothing
OF IL, notify the board of county comm issioners
to appoint an appraiser for the animal. II the
appraised value does not exceed $50, and no
owner appears, the estray is yours at the end OF
u year Without further action. In case the ami
maj should be appraised at more than $50, and
the owner does not come, at the end Of a year
you must report to a justice, who will set a date
and place for selling the animal, and advertise
the same for three weeks in n county paper and
out OF the proceeds of the sale pay to you your
proper fees and charges. If anything then re.
mains (Which is not likely), the justice, after
taking whack at it himself for his own fee.
pays the balance TO the county treasurer. 1fthe
owner appears within six months nd convincea
the county board Of his ownership, the money
Is paid over to him and he goes on his way a
sadder but wiser man. If the owner does not
sisw up within six months, the Doodle passes to
the Ct unity school fund.- and the only way the
owner can ever get 1t buck is by marrying u To-
cal schosina'am who has saved her salary.

A correspondent asks why proceedings
are not begun against the rest of the
bribery outfit, and why they should not
be punished as well as Van Beck. He
says they committed crime as bad as
treason, aud every one Of them should BE-
punished. The Record will reply that
the reason for their not being tried and
punished is because they were not in
dicted. Any citizen, however, can swear
out warrants against them and have them
examined by Justice, and ON their own
eyidenca--if it is the same as they gave
in the Van Beck case-wi,hout any other
witnesses, a justice would be compelled
to hold them to the district court. But,
rs the chief object of the trial was to
show TO the people of the county that a
corrupt ring existed, the members of
which would stop at nothing in their ef.
forts to control the offices and the
finances of the county. it is not likely
that the other bribcrs will be proceeded
against. As to the man word from
whom would have prevented both the
bribery and the returning board infamies,
the people will settle with him next fall.
The great shouts he is making of late
as to his superior republication will not
save him. The republican party has no
more use for those who conspire against
the ballot than it had for those who cou.
spired against the flag

satisfactory to Messrs. Armstrong. Van

The Feretxn.Bern Population.

In an interview with Il. w. Porter, super
intendent of the eleventh census, published
i'll Kate Fields Washington. in answer to
the question, "Where is our population
most American and where least?" he says ::
II suppose that by American you mean the
native-born population, of whatever parent
age. The census tables show that in North
Carolina 99.T per cent. of the inhabitants
are native born. On the other hand, in
Moth Dakota hut little more than half of
the people are native born. and in Mime
sofa, Montana and Nevada about one-third
are of foreign birth. If. however, you use
the term American in it's more limited sense
and mean those born in this country of M
tive parents, West Virginia becomes the ban
ner state, the native born of native American
parents constituting Se per cent of her peo-
pie. In Oklahoma; the most recently set
tied territory, 81 per cent of the inhabitants
nre Of this description and in North Dakota
but 90 per cent" Norwegians and Swedes,
which are supposed to constitute the great
majority of North Dakota's foreign.b born
population. are found in greater numbers in
Minnesota, and Canadians in Massachusetts

ence is proving that, statistics, far from
being dry, are some of the most interesting

Indications Of Surrender
on the Miners Part.

COLUMBUS, o., June 6.-The miners ma
tional strike committee adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, late last night, after be-
ing in executive session from 10 o'clock in
the morning:
Whereas, 1t is evident that the national
convention of miners and operators cannot
be had for the purpose of eifectiny a gem
eral settlement of the present differences
over mining rates to be paid for the next
year, and
Whereas, The operators in nearly all the
districts have expressed a willingness to
meet within their respective mining dis
tricts, the representatives of the miners
Tor the purpose of adjusting said prices,
Resolved, That we, the members of the
executive national committee and the
district presidents, to whom was delegated
the power to act for the miners at the last
convention of the United Mine Workers
of America, declare our willingness to meet
with the operators of the mines in the
various districts, to attempt, and if pos
sible to effect a settlement of mining prices.
Resolved, that the conferences Of repre-
| sentatives of the miners and operators of
the different districts be arranged for and
held not later than Saturday, June 0.
The following conferences will be held
on that date:
Central and northern Pennsylvania, at
Altoona; western Pennsylvania, Ohio In.
diana and eastern Illinois, at Columbus
o.. central and southern Illinois, at East
st. Louis; Kentucky and Tennessee, at Jel-
leo; Arkansas, Indian Territory, Missouri
and Kansas at Kansas City; Iowa, at Os-
kaloosa; Butler, Beaver Lawrence and
Mercer counties, Pa, Mt Mercer; Latrobe,
at Latrobe, Pa; Ohio River mines, at Pom
eroy; northeast Kentucky, at Central City,
and Maryland at time and place to be
agreed upon locally.
The resolution was opposed by both Pres
| ident Mcbride and Secretary McBryde.
lnasmuch as they have all along declared
that they would consent only to national
settlement of the strike the resolution looks
very much like confession that the min
ers are beaten

Convict WaIIwitz's Case.

TRENTON, n. j., June 8 Judge Albeit
refused to grant an order for the exhum-
ing of the body of James b. Lippincott,
the states prison keeper, for whose MUIR
der convict Joseph Wallwitz is now under
sentence of death. Lippincott is buried
in Philadelphia cemetery and his wife
opposes any further handling of his re-
mains Judge Albeit said the court was
absolutely without any power to order the
disinterment, but he suggested that the
counsel for the condemned man go before
the court of pardons who, while consider
ing an application for his pardon, could
and probably would ask the authorities of
Pennsylvania for permission in the inter-
est of justice to take the body up. The
object of the proposed re-examination of
the body is to determine definitely whether
the bullet of the convict or one fired by
deputy prison keeper killed Lippincott.
