tions by many OF the scholars and pleas
ant and instructive remarks by Rev M

The new dairy map Of Minnesota,
issued by the State dairy commission,
shows 444 creameries, 81 skimming
stations and SO cheese factories in this
State. OF the total number 234
creameries, more than half, are in the
twenty-five counties south of Henne-
pin and east of Redwood. Freedom,
of course, leads in the number of
creameries, as it does in amount of
output.
Young cattle on the ranges are worth
from $40 to Sis per head more this
fall than they we're year ago. says
the Northwestern Agriculturist. They
are in greater demand than for many
years before. A few years ago it was
a common practice on the ranches to
kill calves as soon as they we're born,
because the ranchers did not want the
trouble of raising them; they preferred
to import their yearlings and two-year-
old stock from Texas and Mexico.
Now three-day-old calves on Montana
ranges are actually selling for $l2 a
head. All of this has direct bearing
on the interests of Minnesota farmers.
Every farm should have some stock
for feeding, this winter, yet we fear
that many a farmer, not approaching
the changes in the. situation, are SELL
ing off their young stock at less than
value. They are throwing away good
sound money.

The Public Pound has again passed un-
der control and supervision of the City
because of refusal on the part of the
Supervisors to remove Fred A. Osborn,
the present keeper.
The pound was formerly City institu-
ton. but in 1893 passed into the hands of
to Animals.
A keeper was appointed by the society
at salary of $75 per month, which he
never drew. Later ne resigned and Osborn
was appointed. He, too, turned the salary
back to the society until short time ago,
when he informed the directors that his
circumstances were such as to make tie
pay needful to him and he keptit. Then
a movement was made to oust him, the
consent of the Supervisors being necessary
for such action. This action was taken on
the ground that the society could not
stand the expense.
The Health and Police Committee of
the board heard both sides Friday, and
on the showing by Osborn that the society
had big cash balance to its credit and
also owned real estate the petition for Os-
borns removal was denied.
Directors Lissak. Hutchins and Stevens
who appeared for the society, then an
nounced that the pound would be closed,
but Osborn at once announced that he
would provide pound and there the
matter dropped.
Osborn los: no time in making good his
threat, for yesterday, he selected as the
new pound an old brewery on Fifteenth

Suicide Of q Sailor, Despond ent Be cause
of Protracted Sickness
Henry Bursill, sailor VINO had been
sick for some time with Bright's disease
of the kidneys, committed suicide last
Friday night in his room at 116 West
Park. He was found dead by bis brother
Henry half an hour after midnight, with
the stove full OF burning charcoal and the
lid off. He had been asphyxia,ed by the
fumes.
A note In pencil, addressed ITO whom
it may concern" was found on a table
near the bedside. 1t read as follows:
May 90 1S97.-Be it known that 1, Henry
BursilI. do not own any real or personal prop

Another note was addressed by the de-
ceased TO the Coroner:
Mr.. Coroner: guess by the time you get
this shall be over on the other shore. 1 have
been sick for nearly three years with Bright's
disease; so you will know where 10 look.

Bohrend Joost Successful in His APP
peal O the Supreme Court.
Supreme Court ommissioner N. P.
Chapman has rendered decision in the
case of the Bradford Investment Company
against Behrend Joo st ct al, which was
concurred in by Justices Britt and Hay nes,
in which the case was sent back to the
Superior Court of San Francisco for new
trial. 1t was an action to foreclose fifty
first-mortgage bonds of the San Francisco
and San Mateo Railroad Company of the
par value OF $1,000 each exclusive of cou-
pons. given to secure promissory note of
$25 COO, issued by Joost. An agreement
was made by Joost that the bonds might
be sold for the payment OF the note. The
plaintiffs right to judicial foreclosure was
not denied, but the right of a personal
judgm ent against Joost for deficiency, if
there was any, was questioned.
Upon filing the answer, the plaintiff
moved for judgment on the pleadings. on
the ground that the answer denied none OF
the material allegations of the mplaint.
The lower court granted the motion and
ordered judg ment in accordance with the
prayer of the complainant, including de-
ficiency Judgment, to which order Joost
other defendants did not appeal. After
sioner Chipman says:
My conclusion is that the trial court erred in
granting plaintiffs motion for judgment on
Judgment be reversed and that a new trial be
granted.

ia. II. Lissak, one of the directors of the
society, is very indignant over the action
OF the Supervisors in retaining Osborn
and completely ignoring large organiza-
tion whose only purpose is to labor in the
interest of humanity and common de-
cency. He said that while the society
owns considerable property its income is
not sufficient to pay expenses within $50
month. 1t has over $4,000 invested in
the home on Sixteenth street, which is
now practically useless 1t also has a lot
on California street from which no reve-
nue. is derived. Mr.. Lissak feels anything
but kindly toward Mr.. Osborn for the part
he has taken In this controversy, saying
that without the soclety's aid Osborn
would never have been made PouDdkeep-
er. He regrets that the Pound should
pass from under the control of the society,
and predicts that it will fall into disrepute
as it was in former years. His sentiments
are shared by nearly all the other di,
rectOrs.

Every vessel contracted for in the East by
