SLIGHTLY IMPROVED.
The Fire Insurance Situation in San
Francisco.

San Francisco, April 27.-The local
insurance situation may be said to have
improved little today, for the reason
that the leading offices have about all
the business at deeply cut rates on
their books that they care to have. A
number of the agents who represent
large companies have come together,
and there is tacit understanding that
they will refuse such risks for time,
and enable the weaker concerns to
overload themselves with it. The
moral effect of such action is already
benefcent, although the insurance sit
uation is anything but favorable or
even hopeful one. Nearly everywhere
in this state local boards of underwrit-
ers are being organized.

CATTLEMEN ARE MAD
The Omaha Exchange Cen
sures Secretary Morton.
SAY HIS IDEAS ARE ERRONEOUS
1t Is Alleged That the High Prices
Were Caused Entirely by
shortage of Cattle.

Omaha, April 25.-The Omaha live
stock exchange today censured Secre-
tary of Agriculture Morton for his
erroneous ideas at present working to
the great detriment of the cattle inter
ests of the country i'll creating wrong
impression as to the relative cost Of
cattle and beef. "
After reciting the manner OF his IN
vestigations, this resolution was adopt
ed:
"Be it resolved, That we, the men,
bers of the South Omaha livestock ex-
change, call the attention of the honor
able secretary of agriculture and the
country at large to the fact that, dur
ing the first there months OF the pres
ent year cattle receipts at Chicago,
with full corn crop i'll Illinois, In
diana and adjacent territory, fell OFT II
per cent as against 1894; Kansas City
receipts fell off ID per cent, notwlth-
standing big increase in Texas ship
ments, and at Omaha, i'll the very
heart of the drouth- stricken country,
receipts fell off 30 per cent.
"On account of this shortage, cattle
prices advanced from 81 to 81 per 100
pounds, as compared with a year ago,
and the higher prices for beef naturally
followed. With the higher prices for
beef and the press agitation on this
subject, consumption fell off, and cat
tie values declined in consequence we
regard the present depression i'll cattle
values, however, as only temporary, as
the indications are that the next three
months of this year will witness fur
ther reduction in the available cattle
supply of fully so per cent. We are
satisfied that there can be no combine
possible among the beef packers, on
account of the increased number OF
buyers in all the leading markets, and
the diversified interests represented by
them -

AN ALUMINIUM SUIT.
A Famous Patent Case Decided in
Cleveland.

Cleveland.
Cleveland, o., April 25.-An opln-
ion has been handed down by United
States Circuit Judge Taft, which de-
cides a famous patent case, which has
been in court for number of years
and which has excited great deal OF
interest. The suit was brought by
Francis Lowert, executor OF the estate
of Grosvenor P. Lowery, against the
Cowles Electric Smelling q Aluminium
Company and A. T. Osborne. The de-
PENDANTS claimed that they had the
right of two patents by assignment
from Charles Bradley for a process of
separating metals particularly alumni
mum, from their ores, by use of an
electric current, both to fuse and cleo
troize the ores. They claimed that
they came into possession of the patent
bv virtue of a sale to A. T. Osborne,
who was said to have assigned the right
to the CoWles Electric Smelling q
Aluminium Company. The plaintiff S
on the other hand claimed that Bradley
sold and assigned the patent right to
them, and that they held letters patent
at the department of patents in Wash
ington. The Cowles people also held
letters patent, and the suit was to de-
termine which party was guilty of in
fringement.
Judge Taft, in voluminous opinion
covering over fifty pages of type-writ-
ten matter, held that the defendants
had infringed and were not entitled to
letters patent. He granted plaintiffs
perpetual injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from using the patent rights
and ordered the letters patent held by
the Cowles people cancelled and de-
clared void.

Faulty growth Of hair, whether IL be
on the horses name, on his knees, or
elsewhere, must obviously depend upon
conditions injuriously effecting the hair
roots. They may be injured by the
collar or harness, impairment of the
skin functions from adhering dirt, or
over-stimulation from the violent action
of blisters, or they may result from
general or constitutional causes, such
as facilitating disease or of old age,
which interfere with the nutrition of
the hair. When the roots die badness
is permanent. Hair can not be trans
planted as shrubs or plants can be dib-
bled into a bare spot of ground. But
while the roots remain the growth of
hair may be promoted by cleanliness;
by occasioally washing the skin, if
dirty, with soap and water; if the sur
face is dry, by rubbing in once or twice
a week any bland oil; by stimulating
the skin functions by the use of the
curry comb, and by an occasional
dressing of cantharides lotion, not
stronger than one to twenty Of oil or
spirits. Endeavor will, moreover, be
made to prevent undue friction on any
surface where hair grows sparsely.

The turkey will take good care of it.
self. They need very little attention.
Some people who have gone into the
poultry business for their health are
now in it for money.
After planting Strawberries always
hoe at once and cultivate once week
to keep the soil mellow.
Rye straw makes an excellent bed
for hogs, and they will appreciate it as
much as their owners do good bed.
1t is good plan to begin to prepare
the strawberry bed a year before. Man
ure heavily and plant to some hoed
crop.
Although oats are natural horse
food it is very beneficial to give them
to growing pigs as we'll as to breeding
stock.
If you breed turkeys at all get the
best breeds. 1t costs no more TO breed
good turkey than a poor one after the
first cost.
Permit us again to suggest that some
sort of shade in the pasture in summer
will benefit the COWS and consequently
benefit their owners.

daylight as long as it lasts-not cooped

however. is the most Objectionable as it
is ever present on the journey. The sta
tons are in long tunnels and you are hard

into another subterranean cavern so that
the cars make breathing uncomfortable at

tuted for coal the smoke objection will
prevent the road realizing all that it's pro-
