At an open meeting OF the Wood

OF bonding on school districts, aud

face, the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That we are in favor Of
the best roads that II is possible TO be

THE MAeERs TRIAL.
Steps Haye Been Begun to Secure a
New TRIAL at Dallas.

Steps Haye Been Begun TO secure
New Trial at Dallas.
District Attorney Hayden and VIM.
II. Hclmes went TO Dallas today,
where motions will be argued for a
new trial In the case of the State VS..
VIM. Mayors, found guilty of murder
in the hrst degree for Ray Sink on
September l3.
IL appears that the trial judge lu-
structed the Jury that they might
find a verdict in any lesser degree OF
crime, as murder Ia the second degree
or mauslaughter. Thi, is the Gus
tomary instruction OF court in any
case, that the Jury may bring 10
verdict for a lesser degree of
crime than that charged In the In
dictment, which was murder 10 the
first degree.
In this case the whole proof was all
on this question OF murder, with pre-
meditation and malice aforethought,
aud there was net particle Of ey-
idence to prove any lesser crime and
there was no evidence to prove any
malice or feeling between the men,
ard so The jury really had TO decide
to hang the man or let him go.
The writer heard the trial aud be
lieves it was fairly conducted by both
sides aud with perfect fairness by the
court. II ever judge tried TO give a
man a fair trial that was done by
Judge Burnett at Dallas in the Ma
gers case. But we believe the effect
Of his instructions TO the jury was to
produce an error that may eutitle
Mayors To a new trial, and IL Judge
Burnett does not grant this II Is
more than likely that the supreme
C urt will. There is no doubt but
that the jury decided TO hang Ma
gers on general principles and gave
him the benefit OF no doubt whateYer
Tue public mind is made up that
he deserves hanging.
But that is not the administration
OF law and justice. The jury should
have been required TO decide fairly
and squarely aud beyond any reasona-
ble doubt that the killing OF Ray Sink
was done by VIM. Mayors and no one
else, or he was entitled to the benefit
OF that doubt II ii existed in the
mind OF single julor. Even Mayors
is not TO be hung by just Jumping to-
gether lot OF public opinion.
His counsel Holmes aud Daily are
able men aud will use all their ability
even for a penniless man TO secure a
new trial IL they do,it Is no reflection
on the court or on the public prose-
cutors, who have done their duty
fully, ably and fearlessly in the prem
ises. We predict, II Judge Burnett
does not give Mayors new trial, the
supreme court will.

George n. Daniels, of the New York Cen

an announcement which is of rather start

please the patrons of that great system, and
particularly those who travel on mileage
books. The circular reads as follows:
Mileage books, good for 500 miles and
1000 miles travel, are now on sale at all
stations on the New York Central divisions
and branches) ut the rate of $40 and $40
respectively.
These tickets are good until used, and are
available for passage on the main line of the

and divisions, including the Harlem, Put

and the Adirondack Utica to Montrea) d.

Mileage books will be issued in the name
of the head of family or firm, and will be
available for the use of any member of such
family or for any traveller for firm, pro-
vided the name of such member or traveller
is written in the book by the agent selling
it, in the place designated. They will be
honorcd for transportation by the conduct
ors of all trains, including limited trains, but
only to the end of the run of each conductor.

ROOM FOR A FLCI...
Close CrOwdinE of Poultry IL n
variably Bound to Result in
disappointment.

It there is plenty Of land it will pay
to allow an acre of ground to so hens,
the hens to occupy half an acre while
grass is growing on the other portion.
OF course, this may appear expensive,
but the hens will thrive better and give
a better profit. The greatest difficulty
to be met with is the cost Of fences.
This, however, depends upon the kind
OF fence. It may be possible that if
there is space of an acre between the
focks they will remain separate, as
stray members from one flock to an
other are always given reception that
is not very agreeable; but to have green
food growing upon portion of the
ground will require fencing. Every
thing depends upon how much money
one wishes to invest, the governing in
fuence in deciding such matters be-
ing capital. So far as space in the poul-
try house is concerned, it may be stated
that the habit of crowding fowls in a
small poultry house has existed so long
that when the beginner is advised to al
low each hen ten square feet of room
in poultry house he is prone to object
because of the expense. 1T takes too
much money" is the reply Probably
that is true, but if one has not the cap
ital he will find it more economical to
stay out than to stay in with the condi-
tons against him. If ten hens require
a house ten by ten feet, it seems like
large space, but there should be plenty
of room for SCRATCHING and keeping
busy. Ten hens in such a house will
lay more eggs than will twice that
number that are crowded.-Farm and
Fireside.

Green Food for Winter.

The value of green food for poultry
during the winter months is recog-
nized by all well-informed poultry
keepers. How best to supply this is
more of question, particularly in the
northern states. In Missouri and
states south an almost or quite con-
tinuous source of green food for the
chickens can be provided by sowing a
small patch of wheat or rye near the
poultry house. This should be sown
early, and on rich, well-prepared soil
so as to secure good growth before
freezing weather sets in and the fowls
should be kept from it until other
sources of supply are cut off by frost.
Even in sections of severe winters a
wheat patch for the chickens to work
on in late fall and early spring will be
a source Of health and delight to the
fowls, and profit TO their owners
