Corn Sold In Cattle.

Last summer an Otoe county farmer
held an invoice of his situation and
found that all he had with which to
provide winter supplies, clothing
food, ETC., for his large family, and to
show for his summers work was 4 900
bushels of corn, says Nebraska Farmer.
Ten to twelve cents per bushel would
not do for him, nor let him out. He
went up to the South Omaha stock
yards and presented his case so plain
$ly that he was permitted to drive to
his home 101 head Of steers. These he
cared for until the last of January
when his 1000 bushels of corn was
gone. The steers looking fat and
sleek were shipped to Chicago and
good price paid for them After pay
ing first cost at Omaha, interest, and
all other expenses, this man found that
he had realized on his 4 900 bushels Of
corn 50 is cents net per bushel, be-
sides having on hand al carload Of fat
hogs and a lot of the richest kind Of
fertilizers to distribute over his farm.

4 @Hoven or BIOat,

When cattle or sheep are first turned
IN the spring on to young clover,
whether red or white, in the early
q morning i they are very likely to be att
tackled with hoyen or bloat, and II re-

tack Is likely to be fatal. says Wal
stace's Farmer. There is comparatively
little danger with cattle that are Kept
continuously ON pasture. The danger
with 8 steers is when they are first turn
4 ed on. This should never be when the
cattle are hungry. When cattle are
turned on clover for the first time they
/. should first receive full feed, should

I dom dom from loss to the fact that we have
invariably used these precautions in
/ turning turning cattle on grass. In fact, where
the farmer has blue grass pasture he
\ need nave no trouble whatever. Blue
grass appears before the clover, and
the cattle are accustomed to a grass
diet before clover attains growth

OF bloat or hoven comes where dairy

and looked oIt, and cried, too.

Our people here are not rich nor
great, but when a single family has
trouble it touches every heart. Ones
grief is the grief Of all. Because these
I children hi died it was thought best not
to have any Christmas festival at the
church AS one woman said, It was
not meet to make merry while SO many
in our town were in sorrow.

and last Sunday we sent for a doctor.
He lives seven miles from here, and
has to drive through the woods three

saw a mover, emf grant s - wagon
ca1m1lped in the woods at one side. AS
he got near woman motioned him to
stop, and he said he never saw such a
sad face as she had. She had a baby
in her arms, and she wanted the doc
tor to come and see her husband and
little little girl, seven years old, both very
E sick in that wagon, lying on the bot
tom with only two old blankets under
them. d.
!. The man had typhoid fever and. the
little girl pneumonia. The doctor said
he never saw such a pitiful sight, and
he cried as he tried to tell it to me.
The poor woman was nearly starved
TO death, and it was cold-no shelter
but the timber She had just fifty
cents left, which she offered to the doc
tor for medicine. He would not take
it, of course. ~ sl 5
After he told me I called Emma
and the minister, who boards with us.
One went one way, and one another,
and gathered supplies. Everybody re-
sponded. The minister got an express
wagon and had it loaded with bed
clothes, wearing clothes and things to
eat--sack of potatoes, sack of apples,
fresh meat, coffee, tea, sugar, canned
fruit, and lots Of other things heap

When the doctor went back, he
stopped and hitched his team to the
sick family's wagon and moved them
on to Randolph, where he lives. In.
the same spirit as that Of the good
Samaritan, he hired two furnished
rooms for month. He got some
men H to help him, and they lifted the
sick man from the old wagon to a
com able bed, and laid the little
girl in q cot by herself.
The people up there would not be
outdone by our people in giving, and
the doctor said he thought they had
enough to last them all winter, and
that he believed the man would get
well. He declared he never saw peo-
pie SO grateful as that man and his
wife were. The next day, 81 that
night-in the night-it turned cold
and stormed, but the doctor had. as /
have said, the family all sheltered, and
as comfortable as any one could be. !,

BAGGAGE FROM ABROAD.
Assistant secretnry Howell Give. n
Hearing, ON the Tariff Clause.


Assistant Secretary of the Treasury
Howell, who is engaged in the preparation
of personal baggage" regulations under
the clause ofr,the new tariff law limiting
the value CT luggage of returning residents
of the United States which shall be ex-
empt from duty, gave hearing yesterday
to C. c. shape ana J. A. Hickman. presi-
dent and secretary, respectively, of the
Merchants and Manufacturers Board of
Trade of New York.
These two gentlemen at first were in
clined to the view that resident and
Citizen wern SYNONYMOUS. but after Mr..
Howell had pointed out that such ruling
would discrimina te1-against American citi-
zens they changed their minds.
1t is probable that the regulations which
will be issued in a few days will fix an ar
bitTary limit of residence abroad at a
fixed abode. probably eighteen months or
two years. as the maximum period under
which citizens of the United States can still
claim residence" in the United States.
At the port of New York the collections
On the docks on baggage of incoming pas
sengers for the month of August amounted
to SAG, S92, while for the same month in 1896
they amounted to only $l5,0S1, showing an
increase under the rev law of $31 81. The
Treasury Department expects the receipts
at all the ports to show an increase here
after. The customs officers at the va
rious ports will be ordered to send in state
nlents of the receipts for comparison.

QUESTION OF BOUNDS.
Trouble May Arise Over Counter
Claims to Gold Lands

PORT TOWNSEND. Wash. September
"A letter just received from John u.
Smith, United States commissioner at Dyea
and Skaguay, intimates that government
officials now on the way to the upper Yukon
may. by their official acts. bring on serious
international complications with the dornin-
Ion government He says:
IL IS announced here by deputy United
States marshal that the United States gov
ernment Is to make a claim to a large por-
ton of the Yukon gold fields which have
heretofore been supposed to be i'm British
territory, and that the territory which is
Claimed as being within Alaska includes
Dawson City.
The basis of the claim made by the
United States officials to the disputed ter
ritory Is in the fact that the boundary
line has never been determined and the
United States authorities are claiming to
possess information as to the SURVEYS made
by the Canadian government that fixes
Dawson City and large portion of the
gold district within Alaska"
Ihls dispatch was shown TO General Duff
Reid. superintendent of the coast survey
who declared that so far as the records
go there is no doubt that the gold terri
tory Is on the British side of the boun-
dairy.

AWAIT NEWS FROM COLUMBUS.
Quiet at Pittsbure District Mines
Women Plan 81 March.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September EVERY
thing was quiet about the striking miners
camps in the De Armitt region today, the
campers having decided to take things
easy, pending definite news from Columbus
in regard to the proposed settlement of the
strike.
The sentiment of the whole camp seems
to be to resist any settlement except on an
unqualified 69-cent basis. The general talk
among the men shows no encouragement
as yet. On all sides was heard the opinion
that the operators are being hard pushed
in the matter of holding contracts, and get
ting into deeper straits every day.
The morning missionary work of the
campers has come to be the same mild con-
fiict between the strikers and deputies.
Some of them are turned back regularly
and some get through the lines to execute
their mission.
The women at Plum Creek are arranging
for the biggest parade they have yet held,

A NeI-knO~n Police Court Character
to Go 10 the Asylum.
Judge Kimball today received a letter
from the warden of the District Jail in
forming him that Jessie Mccoy who a few
days ago was sent to that institution for
six months as the result OF her throwing
a chair at a witness in court, has become
dangerously insane. and that it will be
necessary to send her to st. Elizabeth's
Asylum.
Judge Kimball at once referred the mat
ter to Sanitary Officer Frank, with the re-
quest that immediate action be taken to
comply with Warden Leonard's wish in
reference to the woman, and the proper
legal steps to do this will be set in motion
this afternoon
Readers of The Star will remember that
during recent years the name of Jessie
Mccoy has often appeared in the published
reports of the proceedings of the Police
Court, and that she has served many
terms in the workhouse' and Jail for vag-
iancy and kindred offenses.
The unfortunate woman is descendant
Of one of the most respectable families in
the District, and is said to have been at
one time a remarkably handsome woman.
The effects of long-continued dissipation
have, however wiped out all traces of her
previous beauty of features.
From the reports received it is believed
that the woman's complaint is incurable,
and that she has been seen in the Police
Court dock for the last time, as the doors
Of the asylum will soon close behind her.
