MANY CHANGES
ARE BEING MADE.
Board of Canvassers and Regislra,
tlOn Kept Busy.
In one Ward the Transfers Numbered
Nearly six Hundred.

The Board Of Canvassers and ReRistra-
ton is extremely busy these days an
the clerks ara working night aud day
preparing the lists.
The detail is something hitherto not
experienced ana il is forclbly illustrated
by the ccnditl on OF affnirs in the mrs,
district of the Sixth ward. In this as
trict $50 changes were necessary wbloh
means an actual change o. twice thht
mum bcr i'm the whole ward or lloJ alter
ations. This includes the audltlohs ID
tue voting population caused by moving
from other sections anu the new Nouers
this year and also the changes OF resi-.
dcnce within the ward and changes OF
various character
Ii is further illustrated i'm the other
wards in about the same way but tho
changes have not been so extensive any
where else as i'm the first district OF tue
Sixth Ward Included among the Nari-
Gus cases of change is the name OF one
voter who was first on the registry list
lie subsequently became the Iossessor OF
some real estate ana he was transferred To
the real estate voting list In % short TIME
the real estate passed out of his possession
and he qualified rs Der sonal property
fax voter He failed to pay the tax In the
time specihed by law and the clerks oi the
registering department had TO place him
on the list with tho registry voters, the
place where he first started from. All
this was done withinsth he year and 1T Illus.
trn.es some of the interesting work the
clerks of the registering department have
To do.
There are large number OF personal
propurty tax voters who neglected to pay
their tax this year and their names had
TO be transferred TO the registry list Up
q the cxuiration of the time limit Tor
paving this tax, $50 names had been trans
fsrred. This means that the vote for alder
men aud councilmen will be- that num-
ber short OF what it was expected to be
and some OF the candidates relying on this
vote may not receive enough To realize
their hopes because their supporters can
only vote for general officers. They are
only registry voters this year. Their
names have been stricken of the personal
property list.
1t is alleged by those who profess To
know that the bulk of the transferred
voters are Democrats The work has not
bean completed- IL an-idaa of-the-s cape
OF the changes can be CLEANED by tho
number of transfers in the following
wards:
First. So: Second 9s; Third, 45 Fourth,
6i Fifth. s5; sixth, l27; Eighth. 92;
Tenth, So.
This variation to the complexion of the
vote for aldermen and councilmen Is
the subject Of considerable comment
today

There will be meeting in Hedleys

Of infusing, on trying to infuss some in

duh campaign. those in charge of the
meeting are very anxious that it should
be a success mt SC much on account Of
the candidate for Mayor. but they think
the meeting will make ii easier 20 get out
the vote In Ward Three for Aldermen and
Common Councilmep. The candidate
for Mayer on the Democratic ticket is not
over popular here and il now looks as if
Col. kendrick would get many Of the
votes that were last year given to the Goo
60 Dem ocraiic ticket. The vote for
school comm ittee in Ward Three will b.

ocratic machine has been ungallant
enough to remark that no woman nomi-
mated in the ward for I osition whe. g
their services might be of good advantage
To the pupils as well MS the city could ever
poll the full party vote of any political
party Mrs Barlow the candidate OF the
Republicans for school committee is well
qualified for the position, and some DEM
ocrats will probably rcbuke the machine
by voting for her.
Anotter interesting feature of the Ward
3 election will be the ascertaining OF
whether o. not Mr.. Oates friends will
vote for Councilman Sheahan or throw
their votes for some candidate on the
Republican ticket.

There are at least two advantages
in brine sailing of butter in prefer
ence to dry salting, one is that there
is little or no danger of oversalting,
and the other is that the risk of over
working is largely avoided. Rather
more salt will be needed by brine salt
ing than by dry sailing. Use quite
strong brine and let the butter re-
main in the brine for some time, half
an hour at least. No more salt will
enter the globules of butter than is
needed and the overplus can be readi-
ly drained off Very little working is
needed; in fact, only the amount nee
essary to work into a proper shape to
send to market will be necessary, and
this avoids the necessity or risk of
working the butter into salty con-
dition in order to get the salt distri-
buted through the butter evenly. By
this plan there will be no streaks to
work out, time and labor is saved in
handling and getting the butter ready
for market, while there is little or no
risk of the grain of the butter being
ruined. A good per cent of butter
sent to market is seriously injured by
too much working, first to get the but
termilk out and to get the salt in.
Working the buttermilk out and brine
salting largely does away with this,
and secures a better quality of pro-
duct. Grange Bulletin.

Animals Need Shade.

All the animal world, if it could,
would choose the shade during the ex-
treme heat of summer days. The dog
following his master along the country
road dips in the roadside pool, and the
horse, if given the rein, will slow up to
a walk under a refreshing bit of shade
cast by a row of trees.
Is it any wonder, asks W. II. Gard
ner in the Humane journal, that the
comfort-loving swine has the cholera
when we see them, by the hundred, in
great fields with no better shade than
Il wire fence affords?
1t is not many years ago that a promi-
nent New York agriculturist-a feeder
and fattener of cattle by pasturage-
cut down all his shade trees because
his scales told him the cattle gained
flesh faster in the fields having no
shade. The cattle took too much COM
fort in the shade, did not eat enough
to fatten as fast as in fields without
shade. We believe this to be a mis-
taken theory. The more comfort an
animal takes the faster it will lay on
flesh.
The COW having access to quiet shade
gives the most milk Of the most health
full quality. The horse loves shade as
well as the man, or the dog, or any
other creature. Let it not be forgot
ten that when the suns heat is op-
pressive to one animal it is to all
When the sun is a life-giving elixir to
one it is likely to be to all. 1t costs
nAught but care aud attention. Pro
lection should be the first fruit of civi.
lization.

An Equestrian Pigmy.

What processes to be the smallest
recorded specimen of the equine race
is now on view at Milan. 1t is the
property of the Marchese Carcano, a
well-known horse fancier of Lombardy,
whose four-in-hando of Shetland ponies
have been the admiration of his fellow
citizens for some years past. The
little creature which the Marchese has
succeeded in rearing is said to stand
only six hands, or twenty-four inches.
The smallest Shetlands are seldom un-
der eight hands. And this pony is no
less remarkable for its perfect sym
metry than for its minute proportions.
The proprietor has a great liking for
miniature horses, contending that they
do more work for their size than an
ordinary horse, and consume much less
food. The four-in-hand only costs
him irihe over twelve cents a day.

InnI,a After the SwiII.

Mrs. J. w. Wheeler, of Massachu-
setts, writes Swill pals ard nui-
sance in hot weather, for then attract
iiIes. Every farmer may avoid these
swarming pests by having q small
place screened off, large enough for
the pals and barrel for standing while
mixing. Have this little room quite a
distance from the kitchen, at the
farthest end of the buildings if they be
attached, and provide good ventilation
by a screened window opposite the
door, which should also be screened.
Another help is to scour aud scald the
pals every few days during the hot
test weather. 1t takes but few min
utes with a strong bristle brush, a
handful of soap and plenty of hot
water Many germ hides in the
swill barrel or pail, but the farmer
seldom considers this until fat hog
dies on his hands and then when it is
too late he sees the necessity of clean
liness

A weIl-Kept Diary.

Not long ago, in Europe, man died at
the age of seventy-three, who began at the
age Of eighteen to keep a diary, which he
continued to keep for flfty-two years. 1t
Is now published and Is u most striking
commentary on the life OF mere world
ling. His life was not consecrated to a
high ideal. In the book he left he states
that in flfty-two years he had smoked $685.
Ills cigars, of which he had received A.
592 as presents. while for the remaining
5s5, ,023 he had paid about s10 ,433. In fifty
two years, according to his bookkeeping
he had drank 2s, 1856 glasses of beer, and &C.
095 glasses Of spirits, for which he spent
$3.50.
The diary closes with these words: 81

sermon could not be preached than to put
this testimony against that OF the mission.

A surprising discovery was made re-
Jently on the San Joaquin ranch, near
Santa Ana, by workmen engaged in
draining section of peat land near
the bog. 1t is nothing less than n sub
terranean lake Of clear sulphur water,
unlike the harsh alkali water which
surrounds it, and apparently bound
less in extent. A twenty-foot pole
failed to reach bottom, and lateral
measurements to determine the area
Of the stream were unsuccessful. The
water is not more than three feet from
the surface Of the ground, and is still
and quiet.
The. workmen first discovered sink
hole foot or so in diameter, and were
removing the grass and earth from the
spot when a drive of the spade into the
hole let out terrible stream of water,
which burst upon them and continued
running for considerable length of
time. When it ceased the men found
that the drained area where they had
been working had sunk from six to ten
inches Cor many rods around. They
supposed at first that they had struck
an artesian flow, but the fact that the
water is standing perfectly still dis
proved this, and they concluded that
there must be a lake beneath the COW
ering of peat. They sounded it in
every direction, but could find no
limit to the extent of the water. There
has been at times much travel over that
part of the ranch in which the lake is
located, and it seems strange that it
should not have been discovered be-
fore this time.-Los Angeles (Cal.
Times.
