JACKY YHE VICTOR
Elected Mayor of Philipsburg by An
Enormous Majority.
THE FUsIONIsTs SHOWED UNDER
The Entire Independent Citizens
Ticket Elected by Substantial Ma
jorities-A Clean Sweep.

The election for city officers held last
respects. Considering the fact that two
tickets were in the field. represented
by factions which have heretofore
caused no little ill-feeling when pitted
against one another. the campaigning
was unusually free from personalities,
and with the exception of Il misleading
correspondence to the Anaconda Stan
dard. the election was contested on the
merits Of the two tickets, with G. L.
,Jacky foc mayor on the Independent
Citizens ticket end Il. E. H. Cannon
on the Citize", Fusion ticket.
1t was generally conceded after the
nominate ms we're made that no matter
which &: the TWO nominees should be
elected tnIlipsburg would have an eX-
celent mayor. Mr.. Cannon would un-
doubtedly have served the city in IL
manner which would meet the approval
of all residents, and his overwhelming
defeat can be TIA ed to no other cause
than the unpopularity Of the clique to
whom the birth Of the Fusion ticket
owes its past life, but which is now 50
deep in slumber that it will never
awake. 1t is true that Mr.. Cannon
did not seek the nomination, but as "a
citizen and heavy taxpayer he felt it
| his duty TO accept the nomination when
tcnderod him, and by his SO doing the
city was assured q just administration,
and by placing his name ut the head OF
their ticket the Fusionists selected the
| -, Il
upon to revive them from their lethar-
! gic condition but the load was toe
great for even Mr.. Cannon, and he
went down with the balance of the
ticket-as any other man would have
gone.
Al the voting places in the several
wards the most intense quiet prevailed
throughout the day and stranger in
the city would scarcely have observed
that an election was going on. Each
voter seemed to realize that everyone
else-like himself-had fully convinced
himself for whom he would cast his
ballot. and as a consequence there wa
no electioneering and no extra officers
were engaged at the polling places
A count of the vote revealed the fol
lowing result:

A YARN ON "BLACK BILL
The Timely Reply of Well Known
Western Character.

Most everyone hereabouts remembers
that character nick named "Black
Bill Bill was a genuine western
sport-a dead tough one at that-and
many are the yarns told on him. Of
course, Bill loved his toddy, like all
old-timers in fact. too much so for his
own good.
1t was while Bill was temporary
resident of Granite that a laughable
incident occurred. Bill had been on
one Of his sprees, and consequently was
feeling very sick. One morning he
stepped into barber shop to get
shaved, and while sitting in the chair
he was taken suddenly sick at the
stomach. He rushed to the edge of the
sidewalk and was in the act of reliev-
ing his inner-man Of all that it con-
tanned when an acquaintance hap
pened along.
"Hello, Bill, are you sick:'' asked
he.
"Of course I am, you damned fool -
roared back Bill. "Do you suppose
I'm doing this for fun -
AS Bill was considered a pretty tough
citizen the gentleman passed on, heed
less of Bills angry reply.

larger than anyone believed it would
be, the election passed off in a quiet
and orderly manner, and the result
seemed quite satisfactorily to all-with
the exception that everyone would have
been better pleased had the vote been
decisive either for Mr. Mckenzie or
Mr.. Dawson. The way it now stands.

would be glad of an opportunity to try
it over. As we understand the law,

Feed When Dry.

1t is now pretty we'll established
that it pays as we'll to feed COWS grain
pretty literally when dry as well as
when giving milk, unlX the pasture

many dairymen lose sight Of, and suf-
fer for the neglect. A COW that is
profitable in the dairy is not flesh
former by any means. In fact, she
becomes quite poor as q usual thing
while milking, and in order to enable
her to stand the strain of this deple-
ton she should be made to gain rap
idly in flesh during the period that
she is dry. This does not mean that
she should be fed highly on milk-pro-
ducing food just before calving, but it
merely means that after going dry she
should have liberal feeding until, say,
a week before calving Farm Gazette.

Roasting Arrangements.

The arrangements for roosting are
worth passing notice. Heavy fowls
like Brahmas,ss require low roosts;
active, agile fowls, like the Legholh,
need highe: roosts.a The height Of
roosts should be governed by a
knowledge Of the habits of different
breeds. Round poles should always
be used meyer boards Or scantling
with sharp or square edges. The
roosttshould be constl Med so that no
fowl is placed directly aBscEe another.
A.roost with poles parallel and hori-
zontal and arranged at an angle Of IS
degrees, makes a very desirable one,
as some poles will be lower than
others and accommodate the heavier
and older fowls. The kind of wood
used is immaterial, the poles, how
ever should be large enough and strong
enough to prevent sagging Or sway
ing. Sufficient room to prevent
'crowding should be given.
No nest Or feed box, Of course, will
be placed under the roosts. There's
nothing better than sifted coal ashes
to absorb and cover up the droppings
and.then scattering Of those ashes
once o week or oftener, is to be
recommended. They do not deteri-
crate the quality of the manure aud
are something easily to be obtained,

Oatmeal for Younr Cb;cle,s

Oats contain just the kind of nutri.
ment that is needed to make growth
IN all young animals. We do not
think much or them for laying hens,
as the bulk of the hull makes them
too light. But when they are ground,
and most of the hull sifted out. this
oatmeal is just what is required to
make rapid growth in young chickens
But it should not be fed wet. The
best way is to wet it with milk, and
bake it into cakes over a slow fire, so
as not to burn it. Or the oatmeal may
be mixed with sour milk curd until it
is dry and crumbly. Either way it
will make young chickens grow rap
idly. But the chicks should also have
some whole wheat, so as to exercise
their digestive organs.-American
Cultiyator.

Right Way to Set Out Tomato Plants.

Young tomato plants, when growing
up thickly in hotbeds or fats, will
invariably BECOME spindling and weak.
If planted out in the usual way they
have either to be inserted so deep
that the roots will come in direct con-
tact with the poorer subsoil, Or the
stems bend over and the tops fall upon
the surface Of the ground and will
never make strong, healthy plants.
OF course strong, short, stocky plants
are the best to set out, but if they
cannot be had spindling plants may
be made just as seryiceable. By this
method the fine roots are nearer to the
surface and the part of the" stem
underground will soon strike addi-
tional roots, thus giving the plant
still more sustenance and nourish-
ment.-American Agriculturist.
