and many expressed disappointment
thereat, the same could not be said OF the
cattle department. Here great improve
ment over last year was shown, due in a
measure, no doubt, to the esta Adjustment
here OF creamery, and an awaking
interest of the farmers on the dairy
question.
The stalls and pens on the eastern side
OF the grounds did not lack visitors at
any time during the three days OF the
exhibition. The Guernseys, the Jer-
seys and the different grades each had
admirers, and knots OF knowing ones
gathered about and discussed the fine
points OF their favorites, the milk and
butter producing qualities, richness,
flavor, butter fat, etc, now and then
branching off on the subjects of ensi-
lage and silos and corn folders, all Of
which mystified the reporter, but served
greatly to increase his respect for the
dairy COW.
The Guernseys exhibited by K. b.
Holmes, OF Ellsworth, attracted much
attention The COW "Lady Hazel" No.
ITO, and calf, Lady Sylvia No. 6,97S,
drew Hrst premiums.
In the next stall was the Guernsey bull,
"Ro binhurst,n No. 8, ASS, formerly owned
by Mr.. Holmes, and exhibited by May
nard II. Young, OF Lamoine. This fine
looking animal drew first premium 1t
was of these cattle that G.. NJ. Gowell
professor of dairying at the Maine State
college. said after seeing and thoroughly
inspecting them: "They are the finest
Guernsey cattle | have yet seen in this
State"
But beside these Guernseys, some Jer
sey blood has been imported to this sec
ton, and he result of two such excellent
breeds in the county will be shown in the
course of a very few years, In a high class
of dairy COWS. The most recent inporta-
ton is Charles II. Emery yearling Jersey

Death of Mrs. f. II. Albee.

Mr.. +. II. Albee and son Fred were
summoned to Madison, Neb. where
the wife and mother died on April
first at the home of her daughter.
She had been under treatment for
some time for cancer, but the fatal
disease had too firm a hold, and al
ter spending the winter at their old
home in Meriden. Iowa, she came
home here for a brief visit, thence
went to her daughters at Madison,
Neb. where death overlook her. The
community extends sincere sympa-
thy to the berfved family. The fol-
lowing obituary is taken from the
Meriaen, la. Call:
Mrs. Albee and her husband came
to Cherokee county, from Illinois, in
1880. and lived near Cherokee for
two years, when they moved to Meri-
den and engaged in hotel business
until 1888, when they moved to Mil
Ter, S. ID.
Mrs. Albee united with the NJ. E.
church at an early age, and remained
a consistent member of the same up
to her last hours. While here, she
was a leader in the church and Sun
day school, and a an active men,
Der of the Ladies Aid Society. Her
last words Christ is coming will be
long remembered by those at her
bedside, and will be cherished to the
one who uttered them, as the crown
ing glory OF a life well spent.
The remains were removed from
Madison, Neb., to this place Tuesday
and the funeral services were held at
the NJ. f. church, Wednesday. Rev.
Jesse Cole, of Cherokee preached an
effective sermon from the text "shall
Man live again?" and she was laid to
rest in the Cherokee cemetery.
Mrs. Albee leaves an aged husband,
two sons and four daughters all of
whom were present except one son
who is in California, to mourn the
loss of a loving wife and mother.
The sympathy of a large circle of
friends, who lent a helping hand in
the hour of darkness, is extended to
the bereaved ones"

The next meeting will be held at

Some time ago a teacher requested
an answer through the column OF the
following question: How was the
independence bell cracked?' | quote
from Hand book of the state house
at Philadelphia as follows: "Early
in the morning of July 8, 1885, while
being tOlled in memory of Chief JUS
tice Marshall, who had died in the
city two days before, and whose re-
mains were then being conveyed to
the wharf to be sent to Virginia, a
large crack was developed in the bell,
starting in the rim and inclining in Il
right-hand direction toward the
crown. This break was at first only
eight or ten inches in length, but
when the bell was rung on Feb. %,
1923, it was so much increased that
never again could the sound of the
famous old instrument be heard at a
distance of more than a few feet.
Thenceforth it became n silent me-
mento of the historic past"
Addie Snoddy sent in a report of a
seven months term in st. Lawrence

anxiety in this matter, as well
as its solicitude for the welfare of the
insane. The same is true of Augusta.
The capital city opposes Bangor, not pc
cause the insane will be less well taken
care of in that city, but because it wants
the new building, if there is to be one
itself. 1t is simply childish for either
of these cities to claim that its interest
in this matter is determined entirely by
its solicitude for the insane.
The legislators ought to take this 1nto
account when they come to consider the
| matter, and discount the personal ap-
peals that will be made to them by the
people of both towns. Neither the
"social attentions" of the one nor the" per-
sonal contact" of the other ought to be
allowed to have the least influence on
their decision. Having determined that
more accomm odations are needed Tor the
| insane--and that seems TO be SO genef-
ally admitted that they will need spend
little time upon it-they should then
proceed to settle where the new structure
should be located and what its character
should be, and thatsthey should do with
out regard to any so called "cialms"
which are not related to the merits. The
primary object OF insane asylums is to
take care of tie insane-and tho form of
structure that is best fitted for that pur-
pose is the best. Experience of other
States has brought about many changes
from the old styles, and this experience
should be taken advantage of. AS for
| location, there are a number of consider
ations that should have weight in set
ting that Economy is one of them, and
an important one. The convenience of
the people is another. Our State covers
large territory and if there are to be
two insane asylums it would seem
highly desirable to have them in different
carts of the State. If an extensive hos
pital is needed we should say that it
would be much better to place it in Ran-
gor thar in Augusta. But if, as the
commissioners who looked into the mat
ter last summer seemed to think,
adequate provision can be made
for many years to come by a
comparatively small structure, then
we are inclined TO think that it can
more profitably built in Augusta. 1t
would certainly be great mistake to
allow prejudice against either town or
interest in either of them to weigh in
| the decision.

MANS STATURE.
Prof. Donath Says the Human Race is
Deteriorating physically.

Prof. Donath of Buda Pest has been
examining the statistics of European
armies With view kto ascertaining
whether the human race appears to be
improving in physical sense or deter
iorating. The conclusion he arrives at
is that men are decidedly deteriorating.
Statistics from Russia ne has been un-
able to obtain, but his conclusion is sup
ported in almost every other case by
those from the other countries where
military service is compulsory.
In the Austro-- H hungarian army the
number of men rejected as not coming
up to the regulation standard of height
has increased during the last ten years
by no less than 76 per cent. The stand
ard has been lowered in Germany, so
that comparison cannot fairly be made.
yet in spite of this, in the same period
the number of men rejected as too
short has risen from Z to 16 per cent.
Taking period of sixteen years the
increase of men below the proper height
in France has been from TO IL per
cent, and in Italy, within ten years. the
same increase has been from per cent,
to no less than % per cent. Switzerland
alone is an exception the rule.
Prof. Douath, it is necessary to add,
takes the figures as he finds them, and
has taken no steps to find out whether,
with the great increase OF the armed
forces of Europe, there has not been a
growing tendency to let men Off If it can
possibly be managed. London Daily

emerald or two, OF good size and nne
quality, have been found in New Mexico,
just enough to warrant the expectation
of finding more il anybody were to LOOK

territory also produces many fine beryls

producer that the territory stands pre-

Captain Kolb, the Alabama Populist,
who claims to have been elected govern
or of that state, is still clinging to the
forlorn hope that in some way he will be
able to esta blish his title to that Office.
At last accounts he was proposing to
pardon all criminals in the hope that in
that way he could get his case before the
courts. Very likely there is some foun-
dation for Kolb's claim that he was
elected and counted out, but there is
no chance worth talking about of his
ever getting it recognized by the courts.
The best thing he can do is to wait for
the next election, and then try for vim
dication from the people.
