accurate count reveals the latter
number.
Mr.. Harbert began the growing of
ostriches about ten years ago. He
shipped "a number Of birds here
from California, but all but two died
on the way from the effects of the
journey. The female bird, it proved,
was not prolific and the fact occa-
stoned delay Of four years. After
that time. however, the birds began
increasing rapidly and the present
flock is the result Of the humble
start made under unpropitious cir
cumstances.
Ostrich culture has been profitable
mot only through the natural in
crease of the birds from the income
derived from the sale Of feathers.
The birds are pldcked every eight
months. At Jthe present time Mr..
Harbert has several pens of breeding

long.

Our government has premptorily
ordered the Spanish in Havana TO
stop the sale Of cannon and tine
carrying away of Krupp guns, &C.,
from the fOrtifications of that city.
The Military commissioners had
repeatedly protested against these
things to Gen. BlancO bnt he paid no
attention to their protests, hence
they reported TO their government,
and President Mckinley at once
made formal demand upon Senior
Sagasta to put stop to the pillage.
1t seems that all the money de-
rived from the sale Of cannon, &c.
was being pocketed by the Spanish
authorities in Cuba and was Il pracii-
cal robbery of both America and
Spain.

The Two Laws COntrasted.
Editor of the Roundabout:

1t has been said quite recently, by
Hon. William Goebel, in defense OF
what is known as the "Goebel Elec-
tion Law" that the Ohio Legislature
had passed law much more strin-
gently favoring the dominating party
than his law. 1 have taken the
pains to examine into the facts and
herewith present synopsis Of each
law. Any one who doubts the &C.
curacy of the fac is as here given can
verify them by comparison of the
two laws as found in our State Lii
brary.
The'Geobel law creates three State
Commissioners, who are Of one polit-
ical faith. They are self perpetual
ing; if one should die or resign the
Others can supply his place. The
State Commissioners appoint three
County Commissioners who may be
all of one party. The County Com
IhlooiOhCin may pC ISllcN6u at any
moment by the State Commissioners
without notice or assign ment of
reasons therefor. The County and
State Commissioners cannot be pros
ecuted or in any way held response
BILE for their acts.
The Ohio law creates no State
Commissioners. The Secretary Of
State, elected by the people, is COM
PEELED to appoint such Commission
ers as are nominated by the party
committees Of the county, two and
two. For instance the County Dem
ocratic Committee names two men.
The Republican Committee names
two men. The Secretary Of State
must appoint those four men. Then
those four men nominate two men
for clerk, Republican and Democrat,
and lots are east to see which will he
secretary. If the Democrat gets it,
one of the Republican Commission
ers is made judge or Chairman of the
Commission. Or, if the clerk is a
Republican then Democrat is made
judge. Thus the County Commits
sion is composed, and cannot be
changed by any one person or party.
TIE Ohio Commissioners are liable
to indictment and fine of not less
than 800 nor more than $1,000; on
Imprisonment; or both fine and inn
prisOnment at the discretion of the
court
There never were two laws more
dissimilar in purpose and design.
The Kentucky law is drawn fol
hepurpose Of depriving all parties
but one Of any supervisory powe
over the conduct of the election, anC
that without any redress in the way
Of appeal to the courts for Justice.
The Ohio law compels every thinl
to be done under the supervision o
each party, Furnishes wrong doing
and gives jurisdiction for revision
by the Judiciary.
The one provides for dishonesty il
electiOns-the other Furnishes it.

Improvement and boom Company
Omitted Necessary Provision.
Judge Lewis yesterday filed an order
sustaining the demurrer of the defend
ant to the amended complaint in the
case of the Northwestern Improvement
and Boom company against William
O'Brien. The court gave the plaintiff
ten days to amend the complaint upon
payment of SO costs. The suit was
commenced by the boom company to
collect $4,000 due as tolls for logs driv-
en- and floated on Kettle river. The de-
PENDANT raised the point that under
the articles of incorporation Of the COM
pany as pleaded in the complaint the
plaintiff was not entitled to recover
tolls
In the memorandum accompanying
the order the court says:
The plaintiff in it's articles Of in
corporation, as alleged in it's complaint,
has restricted It's powers to the i'm
provement Of the stream, and has de-
clined to assume the power to drive or
contract for driving logs in the scream,
and has avoided the responsibility and
burden of driving logs so wisely I'M
posed by statute.
I'm these respects the plaintiff has not
brought itself within the class of cor
porations expressly described in this
! section, and is, therefore, under no du-
ty to drive logs or demand of the own
ers, and is without power to fOrcibly
take possession of logs to drive them
or to contract to drive them, and there
fore, in my opinion, is not entitled to
collect tolls on logs driven by defend
ant upon that stream, although he was
aided by the Improvement.

MEHAN VERY MUCH ALIVE.
CHECK BEARING HIS SIGNATURE
TURNS UP AT WABASHA, MINI.
This Ends the Fears of His Friends
That Something Had Hap
pened to Him.

James c. Mehan, the West Third
street merchant, whose mysterious dis
appearance excited considerable COM
ment recently, has been traced to Wa
basha, MINI.
Mehan was in Wabasha a few days
ago and cashed acheckat thew abasha
bank for $50. The check was on the
Northern Exchange bank, of this city,
where the Farrell Syrup company, OF
which Mehan WIS a member, has some
funds deposited.
The cashier of the Wabasha bank
wrote the Farrell company of the
transaction, and it was thus learned
that Mehan is still alive.
Mehan disappeared on Sept. 10, and
1t was feared for some time that he had
gone crazy, and then foul play was
suspected The Wabasha check, how
ever, explains all.
The Farrell people are reticent about
the amount Mehan is ahead, and do not
speak of having him located and placed
under arrest
Mehan's people still claim that his
accounts are all riht, and that the
check from Wabasha is all right, as he
has money coming to him from the
syrup company.

The Canadians Claim That the
Trees Are Infested with Pests
which Ruin Their Orchards.
Senator Allen j. Greer, Of the Third
district, who was renominated We'd
nesday, was in st. Paul yesterday.
Mr.. Greer hopes to be returned, in
which event his position as dean of
that branch of the legislature will be
conceded, especially if Capt. Van SAINT
should be nominated and elected to
succeed Senator Yale in Winona cOun-
ty.
Mr.. Greer brought the news of the
passage by the provincial parliament
of Ontario, at Toronto, of an act to
prohibit the importation Of fruit trees
from certain localities, Minnesota
among the number, the reason as
signed being that the trees imported
from these places were infested with
parasites and other pests which
brought disaster to the orchards of
Canada.
There was a tendency" said Mr..
Greer, "fOr my colleagues in the senate
to make game of my bill for the pre-
vention of the importation Of the San
Jose scale. 1t was serious measure,
and, while it was defeated, it deserved
a better fate. in my judgment. This
action by the Toronto SolOns, while
not aimed directly at the San Jose
scale, is a source of serious damage to
Minnesota nurSerymen. One nursery
in my own county-the Jewell-was
shipping $4,000 worth of trees annually
into Canada. This trade is now gone,
when, perhaps, it might have been
saved had the state taken proper
means to prevent the infesting of Min
nesota-bred trees with this and other
