There IS more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be ircurable.
For great many years doctors pro-
nounced it local disease, and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly fail
ing to cure with local treatment, pro-
nounced it incurable. Science has
proven catarrh to be a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitu-
tional treatment. HALLS Catarrh Cure,
manufactured by F. J. Cheney s. Co.,
Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional
cure ON the market. 1t is taken inter-
nslly in doses from 10 drops to tea.

VIM. Brooks of Floral City has fully
decided to establish canning factory
at his place near Floral City. The plant
will be quite an extensive one, and all
kinds of fruits and vegetables will be
canned. Mr.. Brooks will plant about
fifty acres Of tom toes and other vegeta-
bles, and the farmers in,hat section will
also plant much larger acreage Of veg
etables than heretofore, with a view of
selling to the canning factory. The
Chronicle IS pleased to learn Of this new
industry and congratula>es Mr.. Brooks
for his good work. This opens up a new
market for the farmers of Citrus county

Despite the big increase In the poul
try business the last five years, and the
close attention now given 1t, there is
room for still greater expansion before
it is overdone. Figures relating to the
industry, just compiled by this journal
as a result of an extensive inquiry. enor-
NOUS as they are, fail to show any gen.
eral overproduction. These conclusions
are reached after a study of advance
proofs of census statistics never before
printed, the home marketsituation, to-
gether with official figures suggesting
possibilities of foreign outlet for poultry
products, and most careful deductions
from other available data. The mag
nitude of the poultry business is never
imagined by those who have not made
q study of the situation. In round
numbers our figures show what may be
termed q permanent investment of $40
million dollars in poultry in this country.
This is reached on the basis of an aver
age valuation of fowls so cents each,
turkeys, ducks and geese 81, eggs 10
cents per dozen. Considering the vast
amount of money invested in breeds of
fancy strains throughout the entire
country, which will do something to
bring up the average value Of barnyard
fowls, together with the relatively
higher values of both poultry and eggs
in producing sections adjacent to large
cities, especially in the east, these esti-
mates are conservative.
It is probable that the annual product
of the poultry industry, the meat and
eggs consumed, represents almost as
much money to the producer as does
the wheat crop. The value of fowls
alone is today three or four times the
total value of all the sheep in the United
States. Even the hogs now In this
country represent no greater value than
the poultry, and dairy COWS are valued
at only about double the poultry figures,
eggs excluded.
Census figures on this important ad-
iunct of the farmers business, now
available for the first time, show de-
cided gain over those of decade ear
her. Our own exclusive inquiry reveals
an astonishing growth during the past
five years. The condensed table above
shows this, and other details by states
appear in the larger table below. The
census of 1880 was admittedly incom-
plete. Owing to the fact that the CEN
sus taken in 1890 was only of fowls on
farms, our effort to get at the fowls on
hand Jan l, 1896, both on farms and in
GOWNS, makes the increase seem larger
than it really is. After much inquiry,
we have estimated the egg product of
fowls in towns and villages at only the
same rate as the census showed on farms,
which is doubtless much too low. All
the figures at best are only approximates,
though the most accurate available.
Large and small farmers, and market
specialists everywhere are very properly
giving more attention to the poultv in
dustry than ever before. While prices
in many sections are often low, this
fact is due rather to unequal and I'M
fortunate distribution than to lack of
healthy demand. Furthermore, the

High Chief Ranger McElfresh Is Wei

A large delegation of the members OF

this city met High Chief Ranger Nc
Elfresh on his arrival from San Fran
cisco yesterday afternoon at 1870 o'clock
and escorted him to the headquarters of

Elfresh home in highly complimentary
address and assured him that it was
with great pleasure and pride that they

able services by having him for the head

Mr.. McElfresh responded feelingly
and assured those present that he ap-

tions and Arraignments

In the police court yesterday Terfila
Chavez appeared before Justice Nor
rison and entered his plea of guilty
to second charge of petty larceny for
shoplifting. He was sent below to ap-
pear today for sentence.
John Brown, better known as "Scot-
ty," arrested several weeks ago for run
ming off with tally sheet at the Repub-
lican primaries in the Twenty-f1rst pre-
cinct, appeared for trial on charge Of
disturbing the peace. He withdrew his
fomer plea of not guilty substituted one

Chinaman in lottery joint, was SEN
fenced to pay SIS fine or an equivalent
number of days in Jail. He had $40 bail

on account, and will now have to pun
gle up IS more.
The four boys, John and Willie Nc
1ntyre, Willie Henderson and James
MCGOWAN, accused of assault upon a
Chinese vegetable gardnerer down on
Date street, several weeks ago, were in
court for trial. The prosecution was
not ready, on account of the absence of
witnesses, so the matter was continued
until next Friday afternoon.
Charles Bond, accused of robbery in
rolling a drunk on First street. was ex-
amined before Justice Morrison, and as
the evidence was insufficient to show
that he had committed the crime, he was
discharged.
In Justice Owens court nearly the
whole neighborhood in the vicinity of
st. Elmo and Washington streets, were
witnesses in the prosecution conducted
by Mrs. Annie E. Lutte against John and
Rose Hammond.
The Hammonds owned dog, which
it is claimed had bitten the little Lutte
girl. The prosecution endeavored to
| prove the brute to be danger and a
| menace to the neighborhood. After
wearily listening to mass Of contra
dictory testimony, Justice Owens stem
med the tide by discharging the de-
PENDANTS with an injunction to keep the
dog henceforth in chains.

TO RECOVER STOLEN GOODS
Sheriff Burr Makes an Attachment
Claimed to Have Been Illegal

Jake Korn and Minnie Kantrowitz,
who were carrying on business together,
felt aggrieved at Sheriff Burr, and have
instituted suit to recover.
In March last the firm became insol-
vent, and. after complying with all the
stipulations of law, received their dis
charge On the 18th of October Sheriff
Burr, in pursuance of an execution pm a
judgment obtained by A. e. Sterling
and others on Nov. IA, 1895, for $26. .O5,
made levy on the firms goods to sat-
isfy the Judgment. To this the plaintiffs
took exception, contending that mas
much as that particular judgment had
been provable against the estate during
the proceedings in insolvency and be-
fore they received their final discharge
the sheriff had no legal right to make
the levy.
Inasmuch as Sheriff Burr has given
notice Of sale, the plaintiffs have now
brought suit to enjoin and restrain him
from disposing of the goods, that the
said goods be returned and that the de-
fendant pay the cost of suit

The deposition went on to show that
Miss Tillman had q conversation at the
house on Clark avenue with Haizlip
alone-which he denied-and a second
conversation held at the same place,
when Mr.. Haizlip, his brother and
mother were present. He told her Of
having gone to the Jail with Mckenzie,
and of having succeeded in identifying
big Jim" as the man who fired the shot
at Wong Chez.
Counsel for the defense took many OBJ
jections to the Introduction of Miss Till
mans evidence but it was permitted to
go in all the same. LIE Compte Davis
then asked that a subpoena issue for
Johnny Haizlip, and his testimony will
be taken this morning and he will, in all
probability, be the last witness exam
ined. Two of the occupants Of the bug=
gy, that was being slowly driven along
Alameda street on the night of the mur-
der, have testified strongly for the de-
fense, while the third. Miss Tillman. has
testified unequivocally for the other
side, substantiating the stand taken by
the prosecution. If Johnny Haizlip cor
roborates the statements of his brother
and sister, and denies what Miss Till
man says took place during the conver-
sation, at which he was present, the ef
feet Of that lady's testimony may be
minimized.
A goodly portion Of the day was taken
up by the defense in trying to pehabili-
tate Architect Hall, whose character had
been assailed on the day previous by the
prosecution.
Joseph D. Lynch, at one time editor
of The Herald James H. Blanchard, the
attorney; Sutherland Hutton, j. A.
Clark, NJ Pinkham, Charles Lummis of
the Land Of Sunshine. p Hanley, all
testified to Halls good character.
George Kinds, who was a member Of
the board of supervisors in 1885, was
then put forward by the prosecution
and gave Hall a bad character. On
cross-examination he said that Hall
had had some monetary differences with
the board, but he had to confess that
when Hall brough suit for $25O0 he sue
ceeded in getting "a judgment for $160O
w. w. Jenkins, who married sister Of
Halls wife, tried to be cuttingly sar-
castle while upon the witness stand.
Being asked if he knew Halls reputa-
tion, he replied: II never knew he had
any reputation" which at first glance
appears smart, but is just as reasonable
to suppose as to conceive of the impos-
sib1e creation of the novelist-a man
without shadow.
The further hearing of the case will
be continued this morning.

A bad Tempered Young Man Gets Les
son In Politeness.
A young fellow with bullying eyes,
bloodshot and heavy from loss of sleep,
swung on to the rear end Of south
bound Clark street cable Car. 1t was
early and the car was filled with young
women going to their work. The young
fellow held between his thick, feverish
lips long, dark brown cigarette, and
he sucked at it nervously.
The conductor, little pink checked
Irishman, reminded his passenger that
smoking was not allowed ON the rear
platform.
"Oh, that's all right, said the young
man and continued to smoke.
mo, it's not all right" replied the
conductor, "and you will have to go
forward, stop smoking here or get of. |"
The young man looked down at the
little conductor a moment, shrugged his
shoulders and started forward. AS he
passed through the car he pulled away
at his cigarette, and by the time he
reached the front door the car was full
Of smoke and many Of the young women
were coughing. Disregarding their in
dignant looks, he turned as he reached
the door, blew a mouthful of smoke in
to the car, and with a contemptuous
sheer went outside.
The little Irish conductor had been
watching him. He followed, and going
close to him said:
eff YOU ever do such thing in my
car again, III punch your head of. !"
Although the young man was almost
twice as big as the conductor, he made
no reply, but tossed his cigarette away,
and his big red ears began to grow
white.
The conductor left him, but just then
young man who had been watching
the proceedings with animated interest
came out and tapping the smoker on
the shoulder said:
"Ithink you had better drop of here. "
The young fellow passed his tongue
over his parched lips, gave startled
glance into the car and dropped. Chi

This suggestion seemed to find favor
with Bessie, who from that moment began
to- initiate every movement of tho other
child, much to the latter's embarrassment
and greatly to the amusement of the two
mothers. Presently tho good little girl,
who was kneeling upon the seat, lost her
balance and fell Off. As she tearfully
