Bury the Dead Fowl.

In travelling over the country, one
is surprised to see as many dead
fowls along the highway and in
the fence corners as there are.
They are every where, and it is no
wonder diseaseis sometimes spread,
and that there are chickens eating
dogs, cats and hogs. Too many un-
thinking find dead hen under the
roost and at once carry it a little
distance from the premises, and
throw it away. The hungry dog
passing that way finds it, and car
ries it back to the house, and Guilt
Yates taste for poultry. 1.-THE dog
does not find it the house cat will,
and she may fall in the habit of
eating chickens whenever her taste
calls for it. Should the cat or dog
fail, some old SOW will wander by
that place, and instead of eating
what she wants and saying moth
ing, she at once gathers the dead
hen in her mouth, and starts squeal-
ing towards the rest of the herd,
and soon all fallin line. a number
of them get bloodthirsty and chicken
hungry, and soon there are score
or more of chicken eating hogs on
the farm.
To avoid these conditions it is a
good plan to either bury or cremate
every dead fowl. If this rule is
adopted, there will be fewer cats,
dogs, and hogs with a chicken APP
petite. 1t may be good plan to
throw the head or the legs where
such animals may get them. BY
being careful along the line, we
may save many fowls. The Home

ROCKEFELLER HAS ENOUGH
II Is Now Said the Great Oil Mag
nate Will Retire,

j. D. Rockefeller, themoney car OF
the world, is said to be about to
retire from active indentification with
the Standard Oil Company, says a
Philadelphia telegram. This does
not mean that he will sell his interest
in the business of the great monop
OILY, but simply that he will retire
from the direction OF the company
and leave its interests in the hands OF
Col. o. HI. Payne.
The reason for the contemplated
action is the desire of Mr.. Rockefeller
for relief from the active cares OF
business. He will still devote his
kattention to the conduct of his own
personal business and in sodoing
will still be actively before the COM
mercial world. If he could he would
gladly abandon this, too, but he has
been grasped by the huge octupus
which he has reared, and to release
his hold upon 1t now Is practi-
( cally impossible.
John D. Rockefeller is to day the
> richest man in the United States
kmsre indeed, the richest man in the
brld. His fortune is an iLcompre.
tsnsible one to the most people, vast
6eyond their widest imagination.
He is valued at $780, 100000 but it is
likely that his wealth exceeds those
figures considerably. If it does not
it soon will, for it is increasing at a
remarkable rate His income is upward
of SAC, 900 day or over Sl4,OOO,OOO
in a year. AT this rate alone leaving
aside the marvellous profits which
he makes through the appreciation
and depreciation Of his stocks, he
would in thej course of his ordinary
life, should h) live to no unusual age,

the Schubert Symphony Club and
Lady Quartette, for our benefit,

ITS yarlety and fine quality which
is II thorough keeping with the en-
tertainment given last night. Es-
pecially pleasing was the mostwon-
derful voice of LOWE ZeDdt Purcell,
who, in almost baritone notes, re-
tanned the liquid sounds of a con-
tralto. The fnequartette and the
splendid recitations did much to
add to ourpleasure and amusement.

history of the world.

His history is most extraordinary.
When he started in the word, he had
scarcely penny. His accumulation
of money was at first slow, but through
his marvellous shrewdness he acquired
hundred thousand dollars in ten
years. Had he ceased his efforts
then he would have been amillionaire
to-day, so we'll devised were his in
vestments. But he did not. Where
he had laid III, foundation for
million. he raised beside it similar
constructions on larger scale. To-
day, as a result of that marvellous
foresight, not unmixed with little
ingenuity and little good fortune,
he has attained his present position
as a modern Croesus.
Rockefeler's millions have been
largely made through the Standard
Oil Company. He has been the NOV
ing spirit and largest holder in the
company, He has operated the
wholesale monopoly which the com
pany represents and he alone knows
how valuable the stock really is. 1t
is safe to say the present quotations
of the stock market, $3.50 share, for
it is not too low. Nor have those
who haze believed it TO be too high
found it profitable to act upon this
belief in the purchase and sale of
the stock
Rockefeller's interest in the Sand.
ard Oil Company is represented by
fully Sl5O,OOO,OOO, $25,O00,0O0 repre-
sents iron interests kindred to the
Standard Oil Company, while So 600,
600 represents his interest in natural
gas industries and in the lead trust,
all growing out OF the Standard Oil
Company's business.
The rest of his wealth is invested in
real estate, in railways,in transpota-
ton lines, banks and miscellaneous
securities but these represent hardly
SOS, 100000.
The vastness Of interests may be
better appreciated when it is realized
that he has controlled in the past
geat railway systems as perfectly as
if they were toys in his nursery,
that he owned every oil car in the
United States and 10000 miles of oil
tubing, that he has two hundred
steamers owned outright by him and
over 10000 delivery wagons, that he
employs over 100000 men and con
trolls the income of at least as many
more. Truly, he is the most inhuen-
tial man in the United States to day.
But just word more about his in
come. Itmay be better understood
when it is stated that is not only ex-
ceeds $l4, 100000 year in legitim t
lines, but often scales as high as 49,
100000 a day by speculation. He
| rises every morning $4,000 richer

A few years ago the coming of a
Wood musical company to our city
was great event and always filled
the house with fine audience. OF
hate musical entertainments have
not been so freely patronized here.
Why? Simply because the usual
programs were too elastic and cold
for the average auditor. In the
program to be given by the Schu-
bert symphony Club and Lady
Ouartette on March p we have a
musical entertainment that is high
ly enjoy able from first to last, Our
readers will do well to remember
that it is not often that we are Of

there is as much harmony in their

the best features were the numbers
by Master Tommy Purcell, He is

r4eites comic songs and stories in a
sweet voice from beneath halo of
