As soon after as the weather and gen

we would add for show sheep two quarts
of cheap castor oil and pint of oil of

This suggestion presupposes not only
warm dip but also one as hot as the

more than their necessary share of OIL
There ought to be no hurry in running
such sheep through the dipping vat.
Three minutes is short enough for such
an immersion. This may be partially
prolonged to advantage by letting the
sheep III hand get to the shallow end of
the dipping vat and there giving them
thorough shampooing on the head
with tar carbolic dog soap, using the
dip liquid with the soap. If this be
thoroughly done and repeated several

POWER OF THE MIDDLE WEST
Eight States VIII Nearly Control
the House Majority.

Jesse Overstreet. of Indianapolis, comes
back to Congress duly impressed with the
Importance of the Republican party in
the middle West. After engaging himself
with paper and pencil for a few minutes
last night, he figured, il out in this way:
Eight States in the middle West-In-
diana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Ohio, Mich
igan Minnesota and Wisconsin-will send
eighty-six Republican representatives. to
Congress next year, which lacks but
seven of being a majority on the Repub-
lican side Of the House, or, in other
words. all of the other States in the
Union have elected only seven more Re-
publicans to Congress than these eight
That is quite a remarkable showing, and
emphasizes the fact that what the mid
die West wants from the next Congress
1t will get That section of the country
adjacent to the Ohio River and the upper
Mississippi will control the majority side
of the House"
Mr.. Overstreet is a member of the Ma
tional Republican Congressional Commit
tee. and >prides himself upon the number
of his forecasts which have been proven.
Speaking now. without undue braggado-
clio. he thinks silver is dead. and Indi-
ana will agree that this country hold the
Philippines because there is nothing else

There are still other candidates who

RULES IN BANKRUPTCY.
Text of the Order Issued by the Su-
preme Court.

There has been some Misrepresentation
among lawyers and others with regard
to the rule-in the general orders of the
Supreme Court-relating to bankruptcy
proceedings filed prior to the issuage OF
the general orders. Many proceedings in
bankruptcy have been fled with the
courts already in accordance with the
bankruptcy bill passed by Congress at
the last session. 1t Is provided in the
rule of the Supreme Court. made last
Monday. as stated heretofore in The
Times. that these proceedings, If in gen
eral conformity with the general orders
of courts of bankruptcy. shall stand good
Notwithstanding their filing in advance of
the orders Of the Supreme Court.
The text of the order OF the court on
this question is as follows:
In pursuance OF the powers conferred by the
Constitution and laws upon the Supreme Court
OF the United States. and particularly by the act
OF Congress approved July l, 1895, entitled .An
act to establish uniform system OF bankruptcy

And il Is further ordered that all proceedings in

that the Republicans are averse to an
extra session, and will bring to bear all
pressure at their command to prevent
one being called. The party hopes that
currency legislation can be pushed over
the short session. and also over the first
session of the next Congress. since, with
out an extra session of this Congress a
vast amount of important business must
be left untouched. 1t is hoped, therefore,
that the opening session of the next Con-
gress will be so much occupied with
pressing legislation that the currency and
other trouble-breeding issues can be
lodged. Personally, do not believe there
will be an extra session.
Il think the treaty with Spain will be
disposed of by this Congress, and ke-
wise the treaty with Great Britain, which
the Canadian-American Joint High c. m
mission is now trying to frame. but l
believe the disposition of the Phil'pp.ns
problem will be postponed. 1t may be
necessary TO call an extra session of the
Senate for the purpose of ratifying the
two treaties TO which / have referred"
The senator asked TO be excused from
discussing his own future, so far as h S
return 20 the Senate was concerned. He
is not sanguine about the Democratic
joint ballot majority in the West Vir-
ginia legislature, and is inclined to the
belief that the Republicans have a little
the best of it.
Il want to get out of the Senate" said
he. In fact, as far back as 1894 1 ex-

gress. but the necessities of my party and

There are contingencies which may
confront the Democrats in my State and
force me- out of loyalty to the party. to
be a candidate to succeed myself in the
Senate. When the time is ripe 1 will talk

THE OMAHA KID ON TRIAL.
He May Follow Dave Seville to the
Penitentinry.

Columbus. Ohio. Dec. 1.-Oscar Gardi-
ner the Omaha Kid" arrived here this
morning from New York, accompanied by
his backer, Paddy Sullivan. Gardiner ap-
peared in court to answer to the indict-
ment charging him with prize fighting.
The Indictment resulted from the lin
ited-round contest between Gardiner and
George Stout, of Cincinnati in this city
on April I. Stout was put to sleep by a
blow on the chin and died the next day.
Though the coroner's verdict declared
Stout to have died from hemorrhage of the
brain. produced by the blow on the chin,
the grand jury did not indict Gardiner
for mansiaughter, but found a true bill
against him on the charge of prize fight
ing. Gardeners attorneys expect TO show
that the affair was a glove contest, and
not n prize fight.
The only precedent in this State is that
of Dave Seville, who was sent TO the
penitentiary on the charge of prize fight
ing. The cases are similar. Arthur Maj
esty, of Toledo. died as result of in
juries received in a contest with Seville
at NeIsonville. In the Gardiner case the
day was spent in securing jury.
