ton.
Since the funeral the body has been
exhumed and the finger marks were
plainly visible upon the neck and throat,
The tongue was pressed against the
teeth and the condition of the blood
vessels indicated the violent nature of
McGlone's death.
District Attorney schaeffer has been
made acquainted with these facts and
an effort will now be made to appre.
bend the murderer or murderers. Two
men upon whom suspicion fell have left
town, 1t is said, and It is probable that a
reward will be offered for their arrest.

Now that the prize fight is over, the
citizens Of Jacksonville are in position
to take an account of stock and see for
themselves, in the light of experience,
how much they have profted by the
advertisement" the affair has given
their city. Those among them who
really imagined that the mill would
draw to Florida thousands of fairly
reputable patrons of the ring who
would leave great deal of money there
and possibly linger to become enamored
Of the Flowery State have had their
eyes opened. They have found that a
PRIZE fight is not calculated to draw
such elements as are conducive to the
prosperity of community, either
present or prospective. We may rest
assured that Jacksonville City Council
will never again deliberately invite to
that municipality such gang of
roughs, toughs and criminals as that
which raised pandemonium during its
sojourn and made Bay street howl all
night long,

CHEsTERTowS, MD, Jan. 30.-MOre
sheep have been lost by attacks from
dogs in the past few years in Kent and
the agitation for dog tax continues, A
careful estimate of the number Of dogs
in the county is TO be made. In the
First district the number is put at 2,400;
Second district, 1900; Third district,
100. In one section of this district,
having an actual population of So per-
sons, there are 46 dogs. In the Fourth
district there are 1900 and in the Fifth
district 1000, making total in the
county of $500 dogs. BY the proposed
law each dog will be taxed 81 and each
bitch SO. Dogs broke into the tlocks of
sheep of Messrs. Peterson and Byron, in
the Fourth district, killing and wound
ing several of their finest ewes. A pen
trap was made and baited and at night
it was filled with dogs. Those of any
value were freed and those known to be
worthless were promptly dispatched.
The sheep-growers are determined to
lessen the destruction of sheep.

"Here, where we have suffered least

the frightening business prospects. The
Improvement began, It notes, about the
time the Wilson bill was reported. 1t
has continued as the probabilities of the
passage of that bill have grown almost
to certainty. Is it a mere coincidence?
Is the improvement caused by the bill
or in spite of it? II ir spite of it what
causes it? "rhe beginning of new
prosperity is coincident with the an
nouncement of definite plans of tariff
reform. The two cannot be antago-
nistic. They have appeared at tho same
time and must so hand in hand"

A Baking Powder to Avoid. :.

The hOuSekeeper will do well to
keep her eye upon the schemes design
ed to force upon her fraudulent and
dangerous baking powders. The lat
est is the canyaSSer for one of the in
feriOr powders. who SOlicitS orders for
half pound boxes to be filled by the
grocer to whom he turns them over at
% cents each, of which ID cents is to
be paid in cash and the balance in a
10 cent rebate check which the solicit
tor leaves with the consumer. The
object of this scheme is to make the
housekeeper think she is getting %
cents worth of baking powder for 10
cents.
The inferiority Of such baking
powder is clearly shown by the fact
that the manufacturer can sell it for
20 cents pound below the standard
brands. A baking powder that can
be sold at these rates should be avoid
ed, as the materials alone required for
a pound of pure and wholesome pow
der costs twice as much. A recent in
vestigation by the Government shows
that half pound Of alum baking
powder costs about one and half
cents. These are the powders that
are sold by such schemes as those des-
cribed. Alum baking powders are
rank poison to many constitutions,
but if people wish to buy them, they
should not pay over five cents pound
for them and then they would yield a
profit of 100 per cent over cost to their
manufacturers.

ART LEAGUE FORMED.

The Southern Minnesota Art League
has been started, and thus far COM
prises twenty or thirty persons from
this city, Lake Crystal and Mapleton.
The first annual meeting will be held
on the Second Thursday in May. A
preliminary meeting has been held,
and another one will be held Thurs
day of this week. The first meeting
was held at Frank Thayers office, and
fifteen or twenty persons were present.
The league thus far includes those
who are skilled in clay modelling,
sculpturing and modelling, painting in
oil, water color and on china, and
drawing and designing. The object
Of the league is to have a general or
ganiZation composed of people who
desire to encourage art in all its
branches. There is to be an inner
circle of actual artists. The general
meetings will be held once month,
when papers will be- read, and the
work done by the members Of the
inner circle commented upon. Art
matters in general will be discussed.
Other cities have such organiza-
tions, and they have a tendency to in
courage fine art, and at the same time
cultivate a better taste among the
members Of the general league, who
make: a study of art and have I'M
usual opportunities for acquiring a
finer discrimination in Judging art
work.
1t is expected that the league will
extend TO other towns
