MAY DEMAND DAMAGES.
Rawson Who Was Acquitted Threat
ems the Detective"

Sheriff Robson positively will not
use that detective" article. The
more he thinks Of it the less he relishes
it. Rowson, the man arrested as a
cattle thief and promptly acquitted,
threatens to bring a suit for damages
against Sheriff Robson for false i'm
prisonment. 1t seems that his arrest
was based on the fact that a stranger
seen in the vicinity of the ranches and
supposed to be connected with the
robberies had but one arm. Rawson
has but one arm. Hence he was ar
rested. A large number of witnesses
from South Dickinson were brought
in but not one could indemnity Rawson
as the man who was in their section,
much less connect him with the steal
ing. OF course he was acquitted,
The county will pay the bill of costs,
about 500. Rawson is consulting at
torneys on his damage case.

fortunate. Mr.. Brewer has bought
more largely than ever and his pur-
chases cover all the novelties and

buying and has been greatly to the
benefit Of his customers.
Mr.. Brewers fine grocery depart

HANNA'S BILL HINDERS.
Electric Light Projectors Halted By
Its Provisions.

The Abilene capitalists who had in
view the putting in Of an electric light
plant for Abilene have met STUN
bling block in new law passed by
the recent Populst legislature and in
troduced by Senator Hanna. 1t pro-
vides that any city granting fran
chise to water, light or power COM
pany shall do so on the basis of the
company making a statement semi
annually to the city and paying to the
city treasurer all its revenues over 6
per cent interest on its investment.
The project is somewhat problemati-
cal anyway, and the investors scarce
ly feel like putting in their money on
no stronger basis of profit than six
per cent at the maximum limit. As
a result they will probably not carry
out the project-at least at present or
without very thorough investiga-
ton of the matter They do not feel
as kindly as they did toward Hanna.

voted to have a graded school, those
opposed to the change taking no part
in the meeting. A new board was
elected consisting Of A. M. Farnham

refuses to give up the books and the
matter will doubtless be taken to the

where a graded school has been voted
the graded school board simply looks

GOOD FARMING.

The Only Sure Way to Secure Good
Dividends From the Farm.
Only by good farming are we as
sured of dividends, that is, anything
beyond bare living. Therefore. he
who sows or plants, so unadvisedly as
not to be assured of good crops, would
better take lessons and learn ways Of
some capable farmer, as he is certainly
deficient in even the rudimentary
knowledge of farming. The good
farmer, one who understands well the
rudimentary elements of his calling, il
proven by the successive crops he
raises, if he does not actually improve
it. In . more comprehensive sense, the
good farmer IL both good manager
and good paymaster-that is, returns
to the soil its due. Anyone may reap
an ample harvest from a fertile. virgin
soil; but it Is the good farmer only who
grows good crops at first and continues
to grow better and better thereafter.
The farmer who understands and
practices the rules of good farming,
sell mainly such products as are least
exhaustive. Necessity may constrain
him for the first year or two to sell
grain, hay or other exhausting crops,
but he will soon send off his surplus
mainly In the form Of cotton. Or wool

The hog kept in a clover field sell

turning the field upside down. 1t is
the lack of some necessary food in

grass in summer and about half the
grain they will eat, three pounds Of
pork can be made from less grain than
one pound can in cold weather with

No damage will be done to the gar

has recently been plowed or spaded
that the hens are induced to scratch.
If the crops are under growth and well

selves with insects and the seeds of
grass and weeds. There are no better
insect destroyers than poultry if they
are allowed to do service in that direc-

sheds In tho W.rm season.

The cheapest and best arrangement
for fowls in summer is an open shed;
that is, shed with good roof and
closed at the back and sides, the front
being entirely open and protected by
wire. Such building will cost but
little, will be we'll ventilated, and can
be cleaned with but little labor. The
back and sides should be tight, how
ever, for while the fowls can endure
the open air from the entire front OF
the house, they are easily affected by a
small stream of air from crack. There
will occasionally be northeast storms,
and it is then that roup is more liable
to prevail than at other times, hence
drafts are injurious.-Farm and Fire

straight to the English heart. The
shoes of British manufacture are too
big for feminine Irish feet, and even
the pedals of the wheels made by the
English are so large that the tiny feet

not stay upon them.-Chicago Tribune,
