JOHN c. HUBINGER.
Remarkable Career of n Well-knOwn
Western Capitalist, Manufact-
urer and Philanthropist. -

Among the leaders of the progressive
element for which the midle west is
famous, Mr.. John C. Hubinger, of Keo-
kuk, Ia, reigns without peer. AS
a manufacturer, as an enterprising cap
italist and as philanthropist his fame
has spread over many states, and his
financial enterprises have developed
many obscure towns into progressive,
thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr..
Hubinger, although but AZ years of
age, can look back upon scores of COM
mercial victories, each one of which has
benefited mankind, for his liberality is
as bountiful as his business sagacity is
marvellous. He was born in New Or
leans, La, his parents being of French
and German origin. When he was four
years old, his family removed to Ken
lucky, in which state young Hubinger
received a public school education. AL
most before reaching mans estate he
secured patents on number of val
liable mechanical inventions, thereby
laying the foundation of his present
fortune.
by lncllnallOn anu force Oh clTcuhi-
stances his attention was early direct
ed to the manufacture of starch by i'm
proved processes, and in the course of
time he became the head of concern
having an annual business of millions
of dollars. But genuine ambition
never quite satisfied with existing con-
ditions, works ever toward perfection,
and after years of painstaking study
and research Mr.. Hubinger has made q

Without contraries is not progress

To create little flower is the labor

settled. The principal features Of the
reception in Washington, as planned
by the citizens, with the cooperation
of the president and cabinet, will be
two in number-the presentation of the
sword voted by congress and night
parade. A public reception at the
white house will be followed by dinner
to the admiral by President Mckinley.
The sword will be presented by Secre-
tary Long, at the east front of the cap
itol, in the presence of Mr. Mckinley
and all the members of the cabinet,
late in the afternoon, while the parade,
consisting of organizations of all kinds,
will be accompanied by an illumination
of the city on scale of beauty never
before witnessed in Washington.
The different features of the prepare
tons are in the hands of a central
body OF citizens and eleven commit
tees, embracing in all over a thousand
people. Preparations for the celebra-
ton have been in hand for over a
month.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad and
other railroads entering Washington
have agreed upon cheap rates for the
celebration, and the committee expects
that there will be an outpouring of pa
triotic citizens almost equal to the in
auguration OF a president.

In Noting Time.

From Farmers Review: Generally
speaking, it is unwise to have melting
birds to carry through, the remedy
being to market the hens before mott
ing begins, but where one is not
crowded for room and has had success
in getting eggs from old hens during
the winter it would seem equally as
unwise to dispose of nice year-old hens,
so a few words of advice during this
critical period may be timely. Crit
ical is the word used, but it need not
be so if the birds are healthy and have
not been fed stimulating feed, but one
must surely give little extra atten-
ton during feathering time. A little
oilmeal in their mash or feed of sun
flower seeds twice week will be found
helpful toward making new growth
OF clothes; also see that they have

American horses as we'll as manu-
features are making inroads upon the
German markets and are giving the
subjects of Emperor William some
concern. Consul Winter at Annaberg,
in dealing with the importation of
horses into Germany, sends an article
from the Hamburger Nachrichten,
which says: "Importations from Amer
lea have caused the horse raisers of
Holstein to suffer much Of late. A
stock company has just been formed
in Berlin for the express purpose Of
importing horses from the United
States. The Americans have succeed
ed in breeding horse which COM
pares favorably in every way with the
Holstein animal, especially in those
points so highly priced in a work.
horse-namely: broad hips and large
build generally. The best markets for
Holstein horses has always been the
provinces of Saxony, Thuringia, and
Brunswick. The demand is created by
the large sugar factories. This mar
ket has been decreasing of late, owing
to American horses being purchased
in Berlin. A few days ago this Berlin
company shipped a drove Of eighty
through Hamburg en- route for Milan,
Italy, where they are to be used on
the tramways. Almost every week
long freight train filled with American
horses leaves the Berliner Bahnhof for
various parts of Germany. In spite OF
expensive freight and a tariff of 81
per head the Americans have built up
a respectable competition in the Ger
man market.

BetraYed by His Parrot.

Victo, Chevalier, clever criminal
in Paris, was run down in a shrewd
way. He was known to be exceedingly
fond of a pet parrot, and the police
were instructed to look for loqua-
cious bird of this kind After a week
search the talkative parrot was dis
covered in the Montmartre district.
The police kept a close watch on the
house, and in time the criminal APP
peared to have an affectionate chat
with his bird.

Features of the Reception to the Manila
Hero ut Washington.
The central idea underlying the
grand welcome to be given Admiral
Dewey in Washington the first week in
October is its national character. His
arrival at the capital will mark his real
homecoming to the American people,
where the officials Of the government
will participate. and the magnificently
jeweled sword voted by congress will
be presented. To that end all the ar
rangements will be of a simple but
most dignified character. The welcome
to the hero OF Manila at the national
capital will probably occur on Monday,
October 2, although the date will de-
pend upon the length of the celebra-
tion in New York. which is still ur-

Slaughter of Tuberculous Cattle In Illinoi,

Slaughter OF Tuberculous Cattle In Illinois.
Of late some localities in Illinois
have been stirred up by the slaughter
of tuberculous cows, and questions
have been asked as to the law that
permits this slaughter. We presume
there has been no change in the law
during the last four years. At least
reference to the new laws Of the state
show us nothing on this line, so we
presume the law is the same as that
appearing in the revised Statutes OF
Illinois for the year 1895. The law
as then published gave powers to the
Live Stock Commissioners of the state
to slaughter animals wherever it was
thought necessary. Previous to slaugh-
ter the commissioners have power to
select three citizens to appraise the
animals at their real value, and this
value can be recovered from the state,
but not to exceed SIS each for cattle
and 500 each for horses. The money
is secured on the signature by the gov
ernor that the claim is correct. The
state auditor then draws a warrant on
the state treasurer for the amount.
Under these restrictions it is not like
ly that the Live Stock Commissioners
will destroy more animals than is nee
essary.
Care of Breeding Stock.-If we ex-
pect good matches we must have good,
strongly fertilized eggs from vigorous,
healthy stock. To get good hatchable
eggs we feed very little soft food, and
that very light, cut clover hay form
ing the bulk of 1t, with about. four
pounds of ground meat to each 100
hens. At least two-thirds of the grain
feed is cracked corn, all grains being
scattered in litter during cold weather
and sometimes covered with earth in
the yards with pillow or cultivator when
the weather Is pleasant, thus keeping
them busy as much Of the time as pos
sible. Be careful not to overfeed or
give much stimulating food intended
to force the fowls for heavy egg pro.
duction. Any refuse vegetables OBJ
