The following, which is taken
urday, October IA, 1899, gives the
details of the sad death of the sister
of Mr.. ]. S. Smith, WHO resides few
miles south of the City. Death is
sad in any case, but to be hurled
into eternity in an instant without
moments warming, and alone
seems doubly sad. Sunday morn
ing the body was brought up on
the train, relatives and friends met
them at the depot and they were
conveyed to the Christian church
where Elder II. L. Humphrey, the
pastor of that church, conducted
funeral services, after which the
last sad rites were said at the grave
and the body was consigned to
mother earth, in the Extra Cemetery.
Mr.. Smith and family have the SYM
pathy of the entire community in
their great loss:
Yesterday afternoon, probably
about two o'clock, Miss Ella l..
Smith fell down flight of stairs in
the house occupied by Sam Shoaf-
stall, the fireman on the Audubon
Branch, and broke her neck, death
resulting almost instantly. The
details of the accident it is impossi-
bic to learn, as there was no one in
the house at the time except little
boy three years old. AT about three
o'clock Mrs. John Barnes, a niece of
Miss Smith, came to the house
which is located at the west end of
Sixth Street, with the intention of
spending the afternoon. On enter
ing she was met by the little boy
who told her that 'Auntie had fell
down stairs and can't getup.' Going
to the bottom of the stairs Mrs.
Barnes found the body of the un-
fortunate woman damned in heap
in a narrow stairway, the head
twisted under the body. Mrs. Barnes
called on the neighbors for assist
ance and Doctor Weidner was sent
| for, but life had been extinct for
some time as the extremeties were
| already cold. A brief examination
| by the doctor showed that the neck
| had been broken and one wrist was
fractured. The stairs down which
she fell are enclosed on both sides
narrow and steep, with turn near
the top. 1t is probable that Miss
Smith, who was quite heavy
woman, slipped near the turn and
not being able to catch hold OF
anything fell to the bottom and
struck on her head, death resulting
instantly. The deceased was passed
her siNty-third year OF age and has
been housekeeper for Mr.. Shoafstall
for some time, taking care of the
children. The remains will be taken
| to Extra tomorrow morning where
a brother, J. S. Smith, lives and the
funeral services and interment will
take place there"

'Botna Valley Buttermakers Meet.

The joint meeting of the 'Botna
Valley Creamery Association and
'Botna Valley Buttermakers' Socie-'
ty took place at the Maccabee's Hall
in this city, Wednesday afternoon.
While the crowd was somewhat of
disappointment, those who were
present took decided interest in
the meeting and made lively one
from start to finish. Secretary Nell
son called the meeting to order and
Nels T. HOegh was, on motion, Sc
lected as chairman. The most inn
portant feature of the meeting was
the buttermakers' contest. There
were seven contestants for the hon
ors and none of them found cause
for grief as the scoring was remark
ably high for this season of the
year. f. A. Leighton, II. L. Brund-
age and John Adams were chosen
as judges. The former is regarded
as an expert judge of butter, and
the findings were very satisfactory
to the participants in the contest.
The solicitors, supply men and salt
men who were present from abroad
had made up purse of ten dollars
| for the highest scores. The result
was as follows: Henriksen, Oakfeld
scored ninety-eight and received
five dollars; Johnson, Elkhorn,
ninety-six and received three dol
lars; Nielsen, Troublesome, ninety
| five, and received two dollars. The
lowest score was ninety-twO points.
During the interval that the Judges
were testing the butter the associa
ton got together and purchased
the necessary supplies until the
next meeting. The jolly knights of
the grip who honored the occasion
with their presence We're as follows

Dispatch Line; E. p. Douglas, Star
Union Line. The several Creamer-
les were all we'll represented, but
space and time does not permit us
to mention each delegate personal
ly. After the contest good natured
discussion was participated in by
the buttermakers, while Messrs.
Leighton and Brundage added
some valuable suggestions and adj
vice. Mr.. Leighton is especially
regarded by the buttermaking fra
ternity sexcellent authority on the
dairy question. All went home we'll

convention and we look for another
good meeting in the near future.

We met Hiram Young, of Greeley
on the streets, Tuesday, and MOTTO
ing that his good right hand was
in a sling we asked him what was
wrong and he told us that for
three weeks he had been wrestling
with mighty felon that extended
from the palm OF his hand to the
roots of his fingers, which had
eaten all the palm of his hand
away. Hiram tells us Doctor New

life shed radiance of sunlight and
love around her, binding the hearts
Of those who loved her into closer

Out beyond the harbor bar,
Past the breakers sullen roar,
On the sea of perfect peace,
Wind and storm can vex no more.
Sunlit waves and balmy breeze,
Waited the frail bark away,
On it's voyage brief and bright,
Into Gods eternal day.
Der the face so wondrous fair
Falls mothers burning tears,
And the father thinks with pain
OF the lonely coming years.
The sweet mirror chord that thrilled
Their hearts into perfect love,
Is severed, but in harmony
1t will vibrate in joy above.
oh, tiny heaped up mound of clay!
So small, yet deep enough to hold,
So much of grief. so much of hope,
And love and pain and JOY, untold.
Dear mother earth we yield to thee
The empty caSket, fair and frail
The jewell we shall find one day
Beyond life's misty, shrouded veil.

CIemenceau Promised to Use His InIlu-
ence and Did So.
M. Georges Clemenceau, who has
been SO prominently before the pub
lie in the Dreyfus affair as editor of
the Aurore, told us a good story in the
chamber of deputies the other day,
saws To-Day. Years ago, when he was
the mayor of Martre and at the same
time 2. deputy, he opened dispensary
in the quarter, where advice was given
free, for Clemenceau is a specialist in
skin diseases. One day he noticed that
he had just one hour in which to get
his luncheon and go down to the
chamber, where he had to interpellate
the government. He called his assist
ant and said: "How many more pa
tients are there waiting?" "Six," re-
piled the man. One after the other
had his case diagnosed, and Clemen-
ceau, after another glance at his
watch, said: Tell the other two to
undress at once, as l have only two
more minutes to wait" One entered
and Clemenceau wrote out q prescrip-
ton in the twinkling of an eye. The
last man came in as naked as the day
when he was born. Clemenceau eyed
him for minute and then said: You
are suffering from no skin disease.
What have you come here to worry
me for?" The man looked at him
aghast for a minute and replied:
Skin disease? / never said l had a
skin disease. Your man came and told
me to uadress, monsieur lie depute, and
I did so. All wanted to ask you was
to use your influence to get my sister
a place in the postofiice In Algeria"
Clemenceau smiled, took his name and
did use his influence.

The Law and the Hen.

The following appears in the Rural
New Yorker:
I'VE would like to know to what ex-
tent the laws regarding trespassing of
live stock apply to poultry. Is it nee
essary for man to keep his poultry
fenced in order to protect his neigh.
boris property? II his hens run over
the line and scratch in the neighbor's
garden, has he the same redress he
would have in case larger animal did
the mischief"
Any direct interference with the
person, land. inclose, or property OF
another by a person, his stock, or his
poultry, is n trespass. A single tres
pass by poultry upon a neighbours gar
den or inclose would scarcely consti-
tue trespass; yet everything in which
the law recognizes property may be
the subject Of trespass, and the COM
mon and statutory law makes no ex-
ception OF poultry. Therefore, what
ever provisions of the law apply to the
trespassing Of live stock, will also ap-
ply to poultry. Wherever there Is a
wrong there is n remedy. The action
generally called trespass sometimes
regulated by statute) may be brought
for a great variety of injuries, either
to person or property. The measure
Of damages is usually the actual value
of the property destroyed double and
triple damages are allowed in some
state by statute); such damages are
intended as a compensation to the
damaged party for the injury done. A
wrongdoer is responsible for the con-
sequences which flow Immediately
from his wrongful or negligent acts,
and the responsibility is not relieved
by the fact that the consequences OF
the injurious act could have been pre-
vented by the care or skill of the in
jured party. A party is not bound to
fence his inclose in a manner to pro-
vide against foraging chickens belong
ing to another. But such injured per-
son cannot, because a wrong has been
done to his property by trespassing
fowls, commit some other wrong for
the purpose of repairing the injury or
preventing future injury, but must en-
deavor to obtain redress in a lawful
manner. r. d. F.
r. n. Yin other words, we cannot
lawfully kill the tramp hen that
scratches up our garden!

Teaching the Calf to Drink.

1t is curious what a lot of tommy
rot one reads upon the subject of
teaching calves to drink, says National
Stockman. The latest thing, / have
forgotten just where / read it, said
that the fingers should be wet with
milk and held out to the calf. and
when he got a smell of the milk he
would suck the fingers, and then he
was to be gradually led to the bucket
by means of the fingers and the fingers
then withdrawn and he would learn to
drink; but on no account must he be
held. tried this plan on the last calf
we had to see just what the calf would
do. 1t smelt of my fingers wet with
milk and walked over to the other side
of the stall. And then in spite of all
the coaxing / could do he staid there
until l went back to the good old
fashioned way and got astride It and
jammed its head into the pail of milk
with my fingers in its mouth. It snort
ed little, but soon came to terms and
finished the milk in short order. And
In one more lesson it had learned to
drink without aid or assistance from
me. There is one point to keep well
in mind. and that is not to lose your
temper. Don't get mad. 1t does not
do the least bit of good in the world
whether the object of your anger is
horse, COW. hired man or worst of all
your boy.

Der CT chickens and eggs in the fam
ily We kept a pen OF 10 pullets and
rooster that were successfully kept
for some years after. That year we
exhibited our chickens at our county
fair and carried away every premium
offered for that breed. Since that
time / have bred the Brown Leghorn
In preference to any other breed.
l have found that poultry is fine
side line to carry along with the hog
and the COW. Where / have been en-
gagged in dairying and our output of
butter was delivered to customers
from a wagon, 1t was no trouble to
take our eggs along, and they were
always eagerly sought after because
they were always found to be like our
butter-fresh.
We have for the past eight years
used the incubator to the exclusion OF
the old way OF Matching, and we find
II as much of an advantage in the
poultry business as tho separator is
in the dairy. Incubators, like the sep
arators, are OF both good and bad
makes. One must get the right kind
II he would succeed and get both pleas
ure and profit. The machine we use
and have used for the past seven years
will hatch a larger per cent of eggs
than will the hens. and its running
and care do not consume more than
ten minutes each day. When chickens
come they are more easily handled, a
greater per cent can be raised and
chicks are at all times free from YER
min. that damage young poultry so
much. Last spring We bought eggs by
the case for our machine and Matched
1856 chickens from 200 eggs. We find
skim milk a very valuable feed for
laying hens and also young chickens.

for his forcing his entrance into the
house. But as the habitation OF the
had been taken by him to render 1t
secure against robbery; the windows
below were we'll barricaded and Sc
cured, and those on the upper story
were too high for any one to obtain
admittance by them.
The door was strong, and not to be
forced by any means which presented
themselves to the eye of Vanderdeck
en-. For a few minutes he paused to
consider, and as he reflected, so did his
anger cool down, and he decided that
it would be sufficient to recover his
relic without having recourse to vio-
lence. So he called out. in loud
voice:
"Mynheer Poots, know that you can
hear me. Give me back what you have
taken, and l will do you no hurt; but
If you will not, you must take the
consequence, for your life shall pay the
forfeit before / leave this spot"
This speech was indeed very plainly
heard by Mynheer Poots; but the little
miser had recovered from his fright,
and thinking himself secure, could not
make up his mind to surrender the
relic without struggle; so the doctor
answered not, hoping that the patience
OF Philip would be exhausted, and that
by some arrangement, such as the sac
rifice of few guilders, no small mat
ter to one so needy as Philip, he would
be able to secure what he was salts
fed would sell at high price.
Vanderdecken, finding that no an
swor was returned, INDUCED in strong
invective, and then decided upon meas
ures certainly in themselves by no
means undecided.
