grain prices, according to report to the
state department by United States Con-
sui General Dekay. at Berlin. His re-

lators and middlemen, and for public
granaries where grain may be stored
and money borrowed upon it, as pro-
posed by the Farmers Alliance here.

THE SYSTEM OF FEES
1t VIII BE Attacked I'M Earn est
by the Judiciary Committee
Of the House.
RESULT OF THE RICKs CASE
Clerks, Attorneys and Mar
shals Have Too Great
a Snap.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.--A result which
has accrued from an investigation of
the charges against Judge Kicks of
Ohio, seems to be that it has brought
prominently to the notice of congress
the effects of the fee system which
appends to the officers of United States
courts. More or less scattering efforts
have been made in years past by both
houses to do away with the system of
compensating district ottorneys, United
States marshals, clerks and commits
sioners by fees which place bounty
on prosecutions, and tendency of Leg
islation has been to reduce and limit fees
Tor some time. Several attorneys gem
eral, including Brewster, Miller and OIL
ney, have recommended to congress that
the court officials be placed as nearly as
practicable ON salaried basis, and sew
eral reports have been made to the same
fact by congressional investigating COM
mittees.
Judiciary Committee Aroused.
The committee ON the judiciary ID
thoroughly aroused on the question.
There ID bill ON the calendar of the
house to pay these officials by salaries,
and prominent members of the commit
tee, among them Representatives Stone
and Wolverton of Pennsylvania, and
Broderick of Kansas, are enlisted
In the movement. They say If
nothing il done by this congress, they
intend to bring the question before the
Fifty-fourth congress. While the limit
OF compensation fixed by law is $8, 600
Tor marshals and district attorneys, and
$500 for clerks, Attorney General Oh
ney has shown that through the nurner-
ous loopholes in the law, made by deci-
sions OF the comptrollers, it is possible
for clerks to obtain as much as $4,000
year, while district attorneys some
times attain the $40, 900 mark.
Tn the bill of the house ealendar, the
salaries Of nlarshals and district attor-
neys are fixed at 81, 900, and the salaries
OF clerks to be adjudicaed by the attor-
ney general, but not to exceed that sum.
Attorney General Olney has said that
the bill, IL enacted, would accomplish
great saving to the government.

AnImnls without stomnchs.

Cats get along perfectly well with
out stomachs, according to experiments
recorded in the Archives de Physi-
ologic In one cat which lived forty
eight hours after its stomach had been
cut out, the oesophagus was found to
be completely united with the intes-
tine. Another cat, which weighed
four pounds when it lost its stomach,
was alive and well and weighed four
pounds and half three months and a
half after the operation. 1t found diff
ficulty in digesting pure milk but got
along nicely when the milk was mixed
with the yolk of egg and rice, and ate
cooked meat, cheese and the PURGE of
potatoes. This proves that all three
classes of foods, albumonioids, fats and
farinaceous substances, are digested by
the agastric cat AS it has been pre-
viously proved that dogs can do with
out stomachs, the next step would
seem to be the production of agastric
men,
