Chief Etzei Seeks the appointment Of
Night Desk Sergeant.
Chief of Police Etzel has been
doing little night strolling of late.
He had heard some Of the complaints
which are being made in consequence
of the loose manner in which affairs
are allowed to run at headquarters
at night time.
Now the chief wants an additional
man. He says it is necessary thai
one be had il the department is to be
properly conducted. The chief had
consultation with Mayor Knox
yesterday. The question was talked
over aud the mayor was urged to ap-
point another officer. and immed-
lately at that He felt that man to
remain at headquarters ali night aud
answer police aud ambulance calls
was a necessity, and it is probable
that one will be appointed soon.
As at present operated, many
hours pass without an officer at the
station. When the wsgot is called
out the station is usually left alone
and anything that occurs in the in
term cannot be communicated to
headquarters.
This is one way Of adding to the
efficiency of the police department.
And there are other ways in which
1t could be improved.

1t is seldom that the community
has been so shocked as it was last
night over the terrible fate which
had beiallen Fred Whistler, son of
Capt and Mrs. W. II. Whistler, while
at work on the dredge boat of the
Rock Island Lumber & Manufac-
turing company near the Rock Island
waterworks. The accident was the
topic of conversation everywhere last
evening and anxious inquiry came
from all lips as to the condition of
the unfortunate youug man. The
sufferer endured the ordeal necessary
by the surgeons, Drs. Barih and Hol-
lOwbush. taking away the shattered
pieces Of skull which were pressing
against the brain, and alter the
wound had been dressed the patient
rested as well as could be expected
through the night. The en-
tire forehead was so crushed
as to Decessitate removal and
the blow had been OF such
shocking severity as to penetrate the
mem braue covering the brain. In
this the doctors have their greatest
source of ankle y. and is row caus-
ing the most dread. the fear being
of infamm alton and meningitis,
which would surely prove fatal.

How TO JUDGE A COW.-The best
sign for richness of milk in COW is
the deep orange color inside the ears.
This is said to be infallible, but there
are other points that assist the expert
in making his selection from number.
After examining the ears, feel the skin
on the rump and observe that it should
be soft, velvety and falls again to its
position when the hand is removed.
The hair should be fine and silky,
with a yellowish cast underneath.
The milk veins should be very promi-
nent, uniform, and the udder we'll
balanced, extending full to the rear,
and we'll forward in front to the main
milk ducts that extend along the belly.
The bones should be fine, the eye mild
and expressive, the body showing a
tendency to avoid accumulating fats,
the teats even and at regular intervals,
with the escutcheon we'll defined,
dandruff being easily rubbed there
from, and the cow should give indi-
cations of being a good feeder.

R6- The farmer who wants to get
rich by farming must expect to work
hard for a number of years. Brains
are a good thing to have and not to
be despised, but the successful farmer
finds it necessary to use oil the brains
and about all the bodily strength be
has in order to succeed. The writer
never knew but one man who worked
too hard; he said in his last sickness !:
"Some people blamed me for working
too hard, but took pleasure in it,"
No person should work so hard during
the day that he can't sleep well at
night and feel rested in the morning.
What many farmers most need is not
less land and more hard work, but
more enthusiasm in their business and
more thorough cultivation of the acres
which they attempt to cultivate, and
see if you don't grow as many bushels
on five acres as you formerly did on
eight to ten acres.

PRESERVING EGGs.-Those who
would like to keep some of the over
supply of eggs until there is more of a
demand, may profit by the rule given
in Farm Poultry.
"Take one pint of salt and one quart
of fresh lime and slack with hot water.
When Stacked, add sufficient water to
make four gallons. When we'll settled,
pour off the liquid gently into stone
jar. Then with a dish place the eggs
in, tipping the dish after it fills with
the liquid, so they will roll out with
out cracking the shell, for if the shell is
cracked the egg will spoil. Put the
eggs in whenever you have them fresh.
Keep them covered in cool place
and they will keep fresh for one year.
When it is necessary to pickle a
large number of eggs, of course the
amount of liquid must be correspond
ingly increased.

TEACHINGS BY A SAGE.-This is the
advice of an old farmer who has titled
the soil for upwards of 40 years:
I am an old man of upwards ofthree-
score years, during two of which have
been rich always have all need do
not owe dollar; have given my chill
dren a good education, and, when l
am called away, shall leave them
enough to keep the wolf from the
door. My experience has taught ME
that
l. One acre of land we'll prepared
and we'll titled produces more than
two kept on the same amount of labor
used on one. .-
2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep or
hog, we'll fed, is more profitable than
two kept on the same amount necessa-
ry to keep one we'll.
3. No farmer who buys oats, corn or
wheat, fodder and hay, can keep the
sheriff from the door in the end.
4. The farmer who never reads the
papers, sneers at book farming and
improvements, always has a leaky roof,
poor stock, broken down fences, and
complains of "bad seasons"
5. The farmer who is above his bus
iness and e1trusts it to another to
manage soon has no business to attend
to-

NOT GONG TO BE A DUDE.-A
young lady, Sunday school teacher
in church near the corner of Gilmore
street and Lafayette avenue, was, on
Sunday, defining faith to her class of
young Americans, aged from 6 to 10
years. She set about her task in a
practical way. "Faith in anything"
she said, 'sis to believe that something
existed which could not be seen.
Suppose" she said, "your papa should
tell you he had put $40 in the bank
for you, and that you might draw it
from the bank when you grew older.
You did not see the money put in,
but you know it is there because you
believe what your papa tells you, and
when you grow up and want the
money, you dress yourself, with your
gloves on, and your high hat, and
your cane, and you"
At this juncture the teacher was
startled by one of the boys, who cried
out:
"What are you giving us ? DO you
think Pm a dude ?"
The young lady says she felt pros
trated, and that it will be sometime
before she stirs up the question of
faith again.-Baltimore American.

q little salt in the watering pot once a
week will make q very great improve
ment in their growth. Their native
atmosphere is damp and salty, and
they are said to attain their highest
perfection in England and Scotland.
Care should be exercised in not giving
them too much pot room. They should
be changed to larger pots as the small
er become filled with roots. Never
allow them to become too dry. They
like rich soil, and little bone meal
mixed with it is wonderful improver.
No flower is lovlier or gives fuller
return for the care bestowed on it.

improve YOUR MARKET ROADS.

While the movement for the con-
struction and maintenance OF per.
manent system of improved public
highways is attaining strength and
popularity truly encouraging, some
time must necessarily elapse before
every point in the country is reached
and benefited. Farmers will find
many rough places in their routes to
market. In wet seasons there will be
miry places, and in dry weather clouds
of dust. Now little effort put forth
by farmers will secure highly satisfac,
tory results to themselves without
great cost.
I call their attention to the fact
that straw is a great factor in good
roads. It makes a road that is not
muddy in wet weather. Do not burn
old hay or straw of any kind. Il
there is a miry or dusty place on the
road, cover it with straw. The value
of straw in this direction was tested
during the Hancock county fair, in
Carthage, ILL.,, several years ago.
The weather had been very dry and
by the middle of the week the roads
leading to the fair grounds had become
nearly hub deep in dust, no amount Of
sprinkling seeming to have any effect
Finally as a last resort number OF
loads of straw were scattered along
the principal highways to the fair
grounds and water sprinklers kept 60:
ing all night. To the surprise and
qualification of the good people of that
city the plan proved a fine success
and the dust was kept "laid" during
the remaining days of the fair without
difficulty. Now comes the interesting
part of the story. During the various
muddy spells that have occurred since
the plan was utilized, it was found
that the highways thus "strawed''
were always in the best condition.
Some wise farmers down in the
southern part of Hancock county
taking note of this, have spread straw
over several hundred yards of very
bad roadway in their vicinity, and it il
now stated that this piece of road j:
today the only good road in that par
of the county.
Let farmers try the experiment.

NIGHT PAsTURE.-Give the work
horses a night pasture near the sta
bles. After the days work they
should receive the same care in the
stables as if they were to remain there
and after being cooled, fed and cleaned
turn them in the pasture or large pad
dock where they can get a generous
bite of grass and roll and rest. They
should receive the same amount o
feed in the stable. 1t is cruel to ex.
pect them to work all day and pick
around all night to satisfy their hun

A NARROW EsCAPE.-They were
telling some pretty tough stories, and,
presently his turn came.
"Yes," he began, clearing his throat,
"people lose their lives sometimes in
the foolishest sort O. way. recollect
an Irishman, poor fellow, who some
years ago sat down on what he s'posed
was keg O. black sand to smoke his
dudeen. After fnishin' the fust pipe
he got up an knocked the live ashes
right into the keg."
"Many killed beside him ?" asked a
breathless listener.
"Many what?
"Killed-blown up."
"Oh, there wasn't no explosion,
nothin' explosive bout black sand"
