ILLEGAL FEES.
The Grand Jury of Thomas County
Looking After Them.


Townsville, Ca, April 21.-Ever since
the incumbency of the present county
treasurer, John F. Parker, it has been
known that former treasurers of the
county had been receiving more than
legal compensation for their services by
taking ~ per cent. on funds received
from each preceding treasurer, and by
charging 213 per cent. instead of "a per
cent on aggregate disbursements and
collections during the year of over So
600.
The jury has not gone back Of 1885. but
every year since this excess of commits
sioners illegally taken down to 1892
amounts, in the aggregate, for years, to
S2,2~6.5O. While the grand jury makes no
charge of dishonesty, il recommends the
county commissioners to proceed to re-
cover these illegally drawn sums from
the former treasurers or their sureties.

A QUEER VERDICT.

One Instance When the Lawyers Good
Reputation Went Against Him.
once had a case, said member Of
the bar, against a man in the country,
which was as clear as daylight in my
favor, but, by the cunning of his law
yers, he had continued to avoid COM
ing to trial for about two years. At
last the case was called, late in the
term and late in hot day, the court
and jury tired and impatient. stated
the facts, produced the evidence,
which was all on my side; the Judge
asked the counsel whether they
wished to argue the case, stating
that he hardly thought it neces-
sary in SO plain matter. The
lawyers agreed to submit it without
argument; the jury went out and im-
mediately returned with a verdict for
the defendant. AS soon as the court
adjourned, sought the foreman Of
the jury, and asked him how, in the
name of common sense, they came to
render sueh a verdict "Why, Won
see, said he, 1--WE didn't think much
Of the lawyer against you, and it
wasn't strange he didn't have nothing
to say; but, squire, the fact is we
thought yon was about one of the
smartest lawyers in the country, and
II you couldn't find nothing to say on
your side, it must be pretty hard
case, so we had to go against youi"

A Walter who Knew Sunicient Bostones Q

The pampered child of luxury from
Boston was caught over night in a
rough town in Montana. In the din
ing room he was waited OR by kindly
cowboy waiter, who had seen better
days.
"Have you any lobster a la New

informed there was no soup.
"Naw, but theirs some lobster a La

"Naw, the dry weather killed it all

The waiter couldn't stand it any

said, pulling up chair and resting
his elbows on the table very famil-
iarly, "you amt built fer Montana

back to Boston and live on the funda-

man from Boston was utterly par

ABOUT SLEEP.
Nerve Tissues Are Best Repaired by
Short Maps and Plenty of Food.


II / mistake not, Sir James Crichton
Browne, in the course of recent adj
dress, remarked upon the curious
elasticity of our brain as regards sleep.
He cited the case of people who rarely
slept well or much, and who, never
theless, are able to carry on intellect
ual work with ease and ability. l
suppose there is "habit" of brain in
the matter Of sleep as in other re-
spects. This subject was lately re-
called to mind when happened to be
dining alone with a well-known sur
geon in busy practice.
Ny friend is a man who, like my
self, journeys over the length and
breadth of the land. He has just re-
turned from long and tedious jour
ney, tired and tagged. He sat down
to dinner. Between the courses he
fell sound asleep, let us say, for three
minutes-not more, certainly. After
each nap he woke up, ate his quantum,
and went off again into slumber. /
said nothing, but watched him closely.
observed that after each awakening
he grew brighter, the tired look dis
appeared, and by the time that dim
ner was at an end Richard was him
self again. licked him on his install
ments of sleep. His reply was char
acteristic.
Don't you know" said he, that it
isn't a long sleep which is needed to
refresh an active brain? Nerve tissue
is repaired easily with very little
sleep if you also take food"
Of my own experience the remark
holds good; and it reveals very Curl
Gus and in some respects anomalous
condition of the brain and its ways.

rHlRD-sroRY CHICKEN FARM.
A full-FIedged Ranch Carried ON In o
Montana City Block.

People passing the Realty block In
Anaconda, Mont, were attracted by
novel sight in the window of one OF
the vacant store rooms. In a shallow
wooden box, less than three feet
square, their downy bodies in con-
slant motion and their shrill pipings
sounding even through the glass, are
seyenty-two chickens, apparently as
happy as if they were in a barnyard
under the care of bustling hen. The
box is "brooder' and is the only
mother that the seventy-two fluffy
Youngsters have ever known, and in
it they have lived for the week that
they have been alive. Prompted by
curiosity reporter sought out Mrs.
Childs, the landlady of the
building, to learn If possible
whether or not she intends
to start poultry ranch in three
story brick block in the city, and If
she is, to learn how she proposes to
run it. Mrs. Childs demonstrated
very easily that she knows what she
is doing, and that she can do it sue
cessfully. She has started to raise
broilers for the market and intends to
do it in her block. Mrs. Childs' apart
ments are on the third story and in
one of her rooms she has two incu-
bators, one containing 100 eggs and
the other 200. Here the chickens are
Matched, and as soon as they get the
use of their legs they are transferred
to the brooder and taken to the base
mcnt, which has been divided into
pens of convenient size. Here they
live in the brooder until they are two
weeks old, when they are placed In
the pens and allowed to run about and
grow. When they are eight or nine
weeks old they are reaoy for market

AN AMUSING INCIDENT.

The "Happv Family" Gave n Red Hot
Reception to Their Visitor.
81 saw an amusing incident in Gen.
trail park one day last summer" said
J. w. Mcclellan of New York. Il
happened to be standing in front of
the monkey cage watching the antics
of the Happy Family when keeper
came along with big doll dressed up
in bright red dress, which he placed
in a corner of the cage. The advent
of the newcomer into their abode at
first seemed to fill the monkeys
with establishment and fear. They
huddled themselves together in a
remote corner and keeping their
eyes on the doll, chartered away at
a great rate. Finally one big monkey,
little drawer than the rest, began to
advance cautiously upon the intruder.
When within about three feet of the
doll, the monkey proceeded to stamp
the floor and chatter, evidently in
tending to brighten the visitor away.
Finding that the doll did not move
and that there was nothing very
formidable about it, the other mon
keys began to approach until they
were all collected around their mys-
terious guest At last after cycling it
and smelling around for several min
utes, one of the largest monkeys sud-
denly bounced upon the doll and in
an instant had torn the bright-colored
dress from its body, whereupon the
other monkeys Immediately fell upon
the poor doll and in less time than it
takes to tell it had torn it to snreds. 3"

TERRORIZED.
Farmers in Oregon in Fear of a Drove
of Bears.

Farmers in Oregon in Fear of Drove
of Bears.
There is terror among the people
living on Mud Bay point, Oregon,
caused by the roaming through
that country of drove of wild hogs.
There are dozen or two of the wild
beasts. They have been breeding
there for about seven years, becom-
ing wilder all the time, but not until
within the last two months have they
made themselves dangerous.
They are of large boned variety
and have grown to an enormous
height. They also have.tusks. They
live mostly on the skunk cabbage
growing in the swamps, but as this
provender has run low they have be-
come further enraged with hunger
and are seeking other food.
Only few DAYS ago they took after
feet-footed pony and ran him down,
killing him almost instantly. The
residents of the point have found it
necessary to keep their stock within
doors. Occasionally, however, an
animal has become loose and lost its
life by the attacks of the boars.
Nobody in the neighborhood dares
go out after night, and extreme eau
ton is exercised when out of doors
during daylight.
A number of expert riders and
marksmen living in Olympia are con.
templating the formation of a company
20 engage in wild boar hunt on Mud
Bay point, and it is probable that the
fierce drove will be exterminated.
The people living there do not feel
equal to the task alone.
