FROM the evidence so far submitted
in the proceedings against Sheriff w.
p. Cunningham before the governor,
over at Santa Re, Cunningham seems
to have all the best OF it, and the
county commissioners showing on the
charges preferred are weak, indeed.
A decision in the case was promised by
Governor Thornton to-day. and while
no doubt, Thornton would very much
like to remove the present sheriff, i'll

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.

During the winter the bees should
occupy the combs in the center and the
honey around them.
1t is the bees reared in the fall that
we have mainly to depend upon during
the winter and spring.
The objection TO leaving honey in the
combs late in the fall is that it is apt to
become dark in color.
If bees are to be wintered in cellars,
care must be taken to have them dry, as
dampness induces disease.
Each colony should have frame or
two of brood, for il is the bees Matched
in the fall that survive the winter.
More bees are lost on account of bad
food or none at all than from all other
causes combined, especially in winter.
There is no factor in wintering bees
that is so important as the matter of
food, and it is one that is often neg
lected.
1t is often the case that there is more
or less robbing while feeding i'm the fall
and it is an almost certain indication
that something is wrong.
All colonies in good condition at this
time should have portion of brood in
the combs, and if this is not the case
something is wrong with the queen.
Quietude is one of the essentials in
successfully wintering bees, whether in
or out of doors. Never disturb them ex-
cept when strictly necessary.
One way of making "A nice entrance
Turing the winter to the hives of bees is
to spread sawdust over a considerable
surface in front of the hive and filling
up level to the entrance.
Mice are very fond of honey and will
soon clean out colony. Before winter
begins, it will be good plan to fix up
the hives so that it will be impossible
for mice to get inst. Louis Republic.

dispose of correspondent who dared
TO criticise them. A new era was be-
gun Is years ago when Don Piatt was
the brilliant editor of the Sunday Cap
ital here. He managed his paper upon
the assumption that a stateman is a
public servant, amenable to criticism,
and subject TO limitations of power.
OF course he met with violent opposi-
tion in the pursuance of that policy;
but he owned his paper and was a very
independent man. He ma enemies.
All men of that stamp must excite ami
mosities. He became bitter. He de-
generated into an iconoclast of the most
virulent type. He acquired popularity
only with his intimate associates;
with men who knew his tender heart
and virile brain. But he established
an era. Other independent men have
followed him, and there is no longer any
question of the parity between newspa-
per men and statesmen.
The ideal correspondent is a gentle
man who represents a district or a state
in as full and complete sense as does
a member of congress. He has educa-
ton, experience. polish, understands
legislation, knows parliamentary law
and presidents, is familiar with the
workings of congressional committees,
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1896-01-02

and knows public men and affairs as
well as the best of the statesmen. His
newspaper looks TO him for faithful, ac-
curate, loyal service, just as the people
look for just such service from their
congressman. He must be worthy of
his responsible position, or he will lose
it. The statesmen must make history.
The correspondent must accurately
portray it. Side by side the scribe and
the legislator labor for the welfare and
enlightenment of the people. The con-
gressmen receive $4,000 per annum for
their services. The successful and
worthy correspondents receive approx
innate compensation from their papers.
The brain of the one is as good as the
brain of the other. In education and re-
quirements they are on a parity.
The saith congress has assembled. The
gentlemen upon the floor of the senate
and of the house have multiform duties
of Importance which the people expect
TO be attended to with skill and patri-
otism. The gentlemen in the press gal
leries will be expected TO faithfully por-
tray the work of the statesmen. The
people win hold their public servants
to strict accountability for their prom
Uses and performances. They must not
be m represented by the correspond
ents, and they will not be. Their best
friends are in the press galleries. They
have only to be true to themselves and
prove themselves worthy of the trusts
which have been confided to them.
1t will be remembered that not quite
two years ago certain correspondents
published stories indicating that mem
hers of the United States senate were
suspected of having been bribed by tie
great sugar trust while tariff bill was
Iending. Immediately a resolution
was offered for an investigation of the
charges. and the newspaper men were
regarded as being in contempt of the
senate. The writers were called be-
fore a dignified committee and refused
10 divulge the sources of their informa-
ton. Thereupon they were warranted
to appear before local court, but moth
ing came of il. The gentlemen were
right in refusing to give the names of
their informants, and every senator re-
spected them for their loyalty 70 their
friends. Many a state secret rs con-
fided TO gentlemen of the press, solely
for their individual information, in OF
der that they may have inside facts to
use several weeks or months later on.
wien such knowledge may prove of
great value. The journalist who would
botray his senatorial friend would be
aa anathema on the floor of the senate
and also among his confreres of the gall
lsries. 1t is part of the unwritten con-
stitution of the profession that secrets
SO obtaiEed shall be held inviolable.

Uran such occasions the seats in the

neser get news in the galleries except
upon startling occasions. They usual

SCHOOLROOM DIET.
The Taste and Appetite OF Children to ]


The Taste and Appetite OF Children to he
Considered.
This important factor in the healthy
development of the body is too often
left to take care of itself, and il is to
large extent responsible for many
of the weakly constitutions OF later
life. Though children need not be en-
couraged to be fanciful about their
food. individual tastes and appetites,
which are the direct rromptings of ma
ture. should receive attention, and
nothing should be placed before them
which is repellant, and from which
they turn with disgust. 1t is positive
cruelty TO insist upon children eating
more than they desire, and though
schools of the Dotheboys hall order
are happily almost extinct, there are
many still where the diet leaves much
to be desired, and the quality is inferior
to the terms demanded. A low state
of health influences the entire system,
mental, moral and physical, and many
forward and disagreeable boy or girl
would be transformed into gentle anna
bility if the food they ate was nourish-
ing to that portion of the frame most in
need of nourishment. Some things
which appear desirable delicate chill
dren cannot assimilate. For cXampir,
eggs, milk, oranges. certain forms 0
fish, wine, etc, though often recon-
inended, are not suitable in all cases,
and only by careful observation can one
decide what to give and what to avoid.
Those who require rich and nourishing
food are often Obliged to be content
with the plainest and most homely
fare. and the overloaded stomachs
which need a Spartan regiment to bring
them back TO normal condition are
too often piled with sweetmeats, pastry
and condiments calculated TO destroy
the digestion of a dromedary; while
another class is denied farinaceous
food, meat juice and fresh fruit in sea
son. Though maternal instinct and
love of offspring are characteristics of
the majority of women, they are not
always associated with judgment and
discrimination. and when this is the
case the childre.l, not the mothers.

FARM AND GARDEN.
THE FARM REVENUES.


The profit from the use Of grain ia
winter feeding depends largely on the
intelligence of the farmer. II ne j.
careful to use good stock and sends
every animal to market in prime con-
dition he can make stock raising pay.
even in "A depressed market, because
there is always a demand for choic"
meat, and half cent more per pound
in the prices obtained makes large
difference when several cattle are sofa.
There is also double gain when an
animal is made fat. FOR in addition Ia
the extra cent or more TO the price OBJ
tanned per pound there is also the gain
in weight. If steer weighing 1000
pounds and not in the best condition
sells for $40, and can be made TO in
crease 200 pounds more in weight, sell
ing at AZ cents per pound, owing 10
better quality, the value of the steer
becomes $52, or $l2 more than the
original value. which should pay for the
food used To add the increase, while thu
manure heap at the same time becomes
more valuable. and really without any
cost to the farmer.
ne IdDOT COSt is the heaviest III ali
operations on the farm. and in the ef-
fort to make the grain and other food
bring more thar the market prices by
conversion into more salable products
this item of labor figures very promi-
nently. but when it is considered that
the item of labor can be balanced by the
loss of time from inability to employ
labor during the winter season the real
cost of labor is the difference between
it's value and the time that would other
wise be wasted; hence any occupation
in winter that permits the farmer to
apply labor in some direction from
which he can receive n remuneration il
clear gain, and should be so consid
cred. There is also the opportunity t.
feed articles that are too low in price TO
be sold in market, such as corn fodder
turnirs, and even potatoes, which be
come all the more valuable when fed in
connection with grain, combination

single article that may be used exclu-
