Galru Wilson, In National StOCkman:
Notwithstanding that all know the dag of
very fat pIgs has departed in the estimH-
tiOH Of dealers and consumers, farmers as
u rule are very slow to learn the lesson,
This has troubled so much the English
dealers who receive our pork that they
issued a circular >n the subject some time
ago. Below siv a synopsis OF the cir
Cular:
In consequence Of so many feeders
continuing To make their pigs too fat. and
TIL great difficulty We md In disposing of
oNtr-iat bacon, combined with tho increas-
ing competition from foreign curers who
a'o able to supply leaner meat such as the
some very definite step to obtain lcaner
pigs, and have decided To adopt the aC-
~companying scale Of prices. which Is de-
pendent on the eannsss Of the pig as well
as on the weight, With the desire to al
low feeders as much margin as possible
We have reduced the minimum weight of
10 pounds to 40. and extended the limit
OF ~ pounds to 100, making the new scale
Tor top prices from l3n To 1870 pounds; but
still. subject to the cannes of the pig
and other grade in proportion. The new
scale Viii give the best price to those
feeders who produce the most salable ar
tlCie, and We trust Will do much to check
the production of such pigs as are not
required, however handsome they may be
to look upon.

The s. X. band was out on the
streets Monday and Tuesday evening
and made some mighty good music.
We understand ]. s. Turner, the
night operator at the Santa Fe depot,
had little scare Saturday night. 1t
seems that both the midnight pass
enger trains had gone and Mr.. Turner
went out on the depot platform to see
to something when he saw a coupleof
men peering around the corner of the
depot at him. One man had his glove
off and something in his hand. AS
soon as Mr.. Turner saw them he went
into the depot and bolted the doors,
and as he pulled down the blinds
he saw the men looking in at the
windows in the front of the office. He
turned out the gas and got his revolt
yer but the men did not show up.
FOr.seven years Mr.. Joseph Pike
has been suffering from sharp cutting
pains in his side, and has doctored all
that time for. rheumatism and neural
gia and everything else that ingeni-
Gus physicians could think of Last
Sunday while trying to relieve him
his wife discovered the point of a
needle piercing the skin. Being I'M
able to extract it herself, she called in
DR.. BOulsOn who soon succeeded in
removing from the Hesh.where it had
been imbedded all these years, COM
mon sewing needle, about a number
five. And the strange thing about
it is that Mr.. Pike has no recollection
of ever having swallowed q needle,
or of having suffered a "hypodermic
injection" of one, and has no idea how
the thing managed to get into his
system. Now that it is out, however
he does not worry much about how it
got in.
The open A. p. A. meeting at the
Opera House last Friday evening was
well attended, and the speeches by
MI ahOHS anu MI. huOHaIu WoI6
listened to with much interest. Both
/ of the speakers took pains to make it
clear that the A. P. A. was not organ
lied, as great many think it was,
for the purpose of fighting the Roman
Catholic religion. 1t advocates the
broadcast charity in all religious mat
tiers and freely grants to every man
the right to worship according to the
dictates of his own conscience. 1t
does protest, however, against any
religious denomination interfering
with our american system of free
common schools or going into polit-
les; and it protests against the claim
of any ecclesiastical potentate to an
authority over any citizen higher
than that exercised by the state. Both
speeches were devoted to an elucida-
ton Of these ideas and to examples
showing the need of such an organic
alton and the good work that it
! could do.

g. H. Lamb, who spoke so welt
here on Monday night, is serving his
second term as county attorney of

record. Out of IA whiskey cases he
has secured convictions In ten. Local

an officer like that. Mr.. Lamb, by
the way, is likely to be the next State
Senator from this district, as there is
thus far no opposition to him that we
have heard of in Woodson county.
His nomination will be heartily en-
dOrsed by the Republicans of this

The REGISTER enjoyed a pleasant
call from r. F. Hosley, of Usage,
Wednesday. Mr.. Hosley can say
what very few men of So can say, and
that Is that in all his life he has never
had any man ask him to pay q bill,
and he has never let q note run till
maturity. 1t has not been because he
is rich, either, but because he never
made a debt unless he knew just
when and how he was going to be
able to pay it. And he never let it
run a day after he had the money to
discharge it. A whole lot of US wonld
be better off if we had the horror OF
debt that Mr.. Hosley has.
