The farmer ought to be a good judge

of the best times to determine what
sheep should be kept and what sold.

Charcool I'm the Hog Pen.

Charcoal for hogs is one of the es-
sentiaIs in every feed lot, and one of the
things most neglected. Hogs are off

in the ground up to their shoulders in
search of roots or gravel, or something
to supply this that they must have. /
know some farmers that have never
supplied this one essential in ten years,
and they are invariably the farmers
where you first hear of cholera. Hogs
become cloyed with green corn, without
some grit of some kind. They refuse
to eat or gain and are having their sys
tens fitted by q careless owner to take

Bird Had Business Elsewhere.
Sporting Notes

Associated Press Special Wire.
NEW YORK, March 25.-Thomas
Marshall, for twelve years mayor OF
Keithsburg, ILL.,. won the fifth annual
grand American handicap, which was
shot at Elkwood park today, having
killed twenty-five birds straight. His
nearest competitors were DR.. II. G. Koe-
gel of Newark and DR.. +. d. Carver of
Chicago, each of whom lost one bird. In
both cases the bird lost was the twenty
fourth and was sprung at No. trap.
Carver's bird was carried past the doc
tors head by the strong gale that was
blowing, and went through one of the
windows of the club house. Koegers
bird was silver left driver, which
started from the trap as though 1t had
some urgent business in the next coun-
ty The doctor let so both barrels, but
the bird managed to get away. Con-
siderable interest was centered in Mar
shall's last shot. and when he grassed a
fast quarter driver with the first barrel
and sent his second to him for safety. the
enthusiasm of the spectators knew no
bounds. The dignified mayor of Keiths-
burg was lifted on the shoulders of his
admirers and carried in triumph around
the grounds. The rule which obliged
each man who made three misses to
withdraw from the competition left at
the end of the twenty-first round but
twenty-nine out of the 1876 shooters who
started in the race yesterday. Those who
finished the race with but one miss scored
against them were; Koegel, Carver
Williamson, Van WDyke, Buckhardt,
Voris, Cubberly, Arno and Applegate.
These men agreed to divide the money
from second to eighth place, and the
following marksmen, each having missed
two birds. agreed to divide the re-
mainder of the money: Dunnell, Alkire,
Budd. Ferguson, Irving, Merrill. Sam
pier, Dickey. King, Hudson andWelch.
At this time the committee saw there
were more prizes than there were COM
petitors who had not missed their three
birds, and the other entries who were
at that time on the grounds were noti-
fled to shoot for the remaining prizes
miss and out, sufficient to fill their score.
At the close Grimm, Hamilton, Parme-
lee, Powers. Phister, Moore, Guthrie,
Coldron, Rohrig. Won Lengerke, Thur
man and Anthony divided the remainder.

BALTIMORE, March 25.-The trial
Of DR.. Joseph @. Luiz, the alleged fill
buster, whose name has been connected
with that of Gen. Boloff in the Wood
hall'' expedition of June, 1895, was con-
cluded in the United States circuit court
here today. The jury was instructed to
render a sealed verdict, which will be
announced tomorrow. Upon the an
nouncement by District Attorney Mar
bury that the government rested its
case, the defense, as was expected, stated
It would call no witnesses.
Judge Morris, in his instructions to
the Jury, defined the crime of conspiracy,
which he said, If proved, holds each per-
son In it liable for whatever is done by
any of the others in carrying out the un-
lawful purpose. He added:
'If you find that the enterprise in this
case was of military character, that
Is to say. 1t was not for any peaceful
purpose, but was for military service
with hostile intention against the Span
ish rule in Cuba, that they came as a
body from an out of the way place on
the coast of Florida, bringing nothing
but their arms and ammunition; that
the arms and ammunition were not un-
divided property, but appeared to belong
to a common stock; and that they said
they were going to Cuba to fight the
Spaniards-these are facts which, II
found by you, are sufficient to warrant
you in finding the expedition was in fact
. military expedition from the United
States against Cuba"
The argument for the defense was
made by Gen. Bradley, T. J. Johnson and
Mr.. Albert 8. Owens of this city.
THE POPE'S ADVICE.
MADRID, March 25-United States
Minister Taylor had long conference
yesterday with the duke of Tetuan. min
lister of foreign affairs The leading men
of Spain have received an appeal from
the vatican urging them to support the
existing institutions of the country.
TROOPS ORDERED HOME.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Accord-
Ing to advices received at the state de-
partment, presumably from General
Lee, there will soon follow big with
drawal of Spanish forces from Cuba in
order to satisfy the constant demands
for additional troops for service in the
Philippine islands, where the present
force is said to be inadequate TO cope
with the insurrectionists.
These advices say that General Wey
Ter has been directed to dispatch 10000
of his best soldiers to Spain, where they
will shortly afterward be transported
to the Spanish possessions in the Philip
pine group. The demand for troops
there is said to have been so incessant
that the cortes has been compelled to
weaken its Cuban forces in order to
meet the demand. There are said to be
no troops at home that can be spared for
duty abroad. and the army in Cuba is
the only source of supply left to draw
upon. General Weyler, according to re-
ports received here, has protested
against the withdrawal of any part of
his force, but-orders from the home gov
eminent are believed to be imperative
and must be obeyed.
