Regular hours for milking and feed
ing are more important than almost
any other point in successful feeding of
dairy cows. The cows will get restless
and uneasy if obliged to wait for their
food, and the fretting does almost as
much harm as the food will do good.
They lose flesh and shrink in milk pro-
duction to an extent that would scarce

SICKNESS LOOKED FOR
at Manila and Preparations Are Be-
ing Made to Meet It.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-With the ap-
proach of the rainy season in the Phil
ippfnes, now possibly not a month off,
material increase in the sickness among
our troops may be looked for. The war
department officials apprehend no
alarming developments in the condition
of our men as the result of the forth
coming rainy season, but have prepared
to meet any possible contingencies. The
city of Manila itself is stated to be
comparatively healthy vicinity and the
troops remaining there with reasonable
care may be expected to get along fair
ly we'll Outside of the city conditions
are not encoura ging and are favorable
to malarial and similar indispositions.
In a general way there is likely to be
a considerable number of ailments or
iesinating from climatic causes and an
unusual number of doctors and medi-
cineS have been rendezVouSed at Man
liza. The medical force now on the is
+ lands is believed to be sufficient for
ordinary purposes and to meet any de-
mands of the future achievements that
are being hurried there.
The hospital snip Relief will sail from
New York direct for Manila via the
Suez route in a day or two with $50
picked men from the hospital corps and
about ten doctors. This is in addition
to the regular equipment of the doctors
and nurses of the Relief. The Relief
will be placed at the disposal of Gen.
i Otis, either a floating hospital or for
! use in transferring the sick and con-
valescent to the general hospital, now
! under way at San Francisco. She is
loaded with all the medical supplies
} that she can carry, though there has
been no official call from the Philip
pines for these supplies. The authori-
/ ties there have full authority to obtain
! all the supplies of any character that
are wanted wherever they can be got
i ten. Lieut.. Col. woodruff, deputy sur
/ geon general, is now en- route across
| the continent, going to Manila for duty
! as chief surgeon. He is one of the most
efficient medical officers in the army
and has had the benefit of an army
| service throughout the civil war. He
| has given special attention to SANTA
| ton matters and a thorough sanitary
| system is expected to be maintained
| where our troops are encamped.

ANOTHER PRIMARY.
Judge and officers of the New City
Court to Be Nominated.

The Republican city central commit
tee has called another primary for next
| Saturday to nominate a candidate for
| judge of the new city court created by
the legislature to take the place of the
| Justice courts.
| mittee may rescind its action taken last
| night and defer the primary for week
or two to give the candidates more time
| to make a canvass.
The people of Topeka have been op-
pressed by justice courts for so long
/ that they will hail with delight this de-
| parture which may prevent small bore
politicians in official position from fat
tening off the people The new court is
a fee court but the fees are turned into
| the county treasury and the salaries
| of the officials are paid without refer
ence TO the amount collected.
The officers of the court consist of
| judgR, clerk, marshal and deputy mar
| shall the latter being an appofntee of
the marshal The salary of the judge is
| $780, the clerk and marshal are each
to receive $3.50 and the deputy $500.
| Candidates are already appearing in
the field for all the positions. The JUS
| tIceS who are now serving will prob
! ably be candidates for the places but
! there is a prejudice against placing the
| officials who have served as justices in
| the position of judge of the new court.
J There is a disposition to elect a, good
lawyer who will at once give the court
dignity and command respect.
Charles 5. Spencer was mentioned in
| connection with the place but he said
! today that he would not accept the pos
! ition. A. w. Dana has likewise declined.
| The only candidate who has appeared
| besides the present justices is Arthur J.
! McCabe who served with credit to him
| self as deputy county attorney under
| H c. Stafford. 1t is admitted that Mr..
! McCabe will be an important factor in
| the race if he should decide to be a
! candidate, for he is a young lawyer of
! energy and ability.
/ There is but one candidate for clerk
! up to this time, Ed. Good, the fee buyer
/ The three constables now in office will
all be candidates for marshal of the new
/ court, but there is the same prejudice
| against them that there is with refer
| ence to the justices. T. S. Williams of
! the Second ward may also enter the
| race.
1t is probable that the primary will be
| an interesting one whether it is held
/ next Saturday or later.

CREW LEFT TO PERISH.
Captain Rows Off With the Only
Boat and All the
Provisions.

Dartmouth. Eng, Feb. 2S.-The British
steamer Carton, Captain Willis, from
Brunswick via Norfolk, for Bremen, ar
rived today having board the second

The Galatea was abandoned on Febru-
airy Is. at which time she was in sinking
condition. Previous to that the bark had
experienced terrible weather and began
TO leak rapidly. On February 10 Captain
Lewis, the chief officer the steward. the
stewardess and three seamen left her in
the only remaining boat, the others hay
ing been stove in during the gale. The
boat was lost sight of in 8 furious gale
and the second officer considers it impos-
sible for her to have weathered the storm.
The same evening the Carton hove in
sight and took off the remainder of the
high running seas prevented the boat
launched by the Carton from approaching
the sinking bark, SO the men on board the
latter donned life Jackets and were hauled
through the water.
Captain Lewis, according to the second
officer. took with him all the provisions
and left the remainder of the crew on
board the sinking ship, although, he adds.
there was room for all in the boat. which
hung about the bark until $50 p. m. and
then rOWed off.

WILL SOON PLAY BALL.
Annual Meeting of the National Base
ball League in Session.

New York, Feb. 2S-The annual sched-
ule meeting of the National Baseball
league which began today at the Fifth
Avenue hotel promises to be one of the
most interesting and protracted sessions
ever taken part in by the men who con-
troll the national game in the largest
cities east of the Rocky mountains.
Since the close of last seasons play
many deals have been heard of and
some of them have gone through. The
most notable of these is the consolida-
ton of the Brooklyn and Baltimore
clubs, which was perfected yesterday.
Brooklyn of course gains very material
ly by the deal as the "Grooms' will now
be made up of the star players from
both clubs, while the Orioles will be a
sort of second edition. Manager Ed.
Hanlon, a stockholder and director in
both clubs, will manage the Brooklyn
end Of the business. Hanlon said today
that the report that Baltimore would
only be a farm" club was untrue.
1.-The final make up of the teams will
not be definitely arranged for some
weeks to come" said he, but when the
teams have been selected all friendship
from a playing standpoint-wiI cease
and the men will play against each 9TH
er as if their lives depended on the win
ming of the pennant.'
Next to the Brooklyn-BaItimore deal,
the question of the transfer of the
Cleveland club to ST. Louis is the prin-
cipal topic to be discussed this week.
