CATTLE COMMISSIONERS REPORT.
Have Far Exceeded Appropriation ard Ask
Tor Increase With Good Reasons.

The cattle commissioners of the State
have made their annual report to the
Governor and are now having it
printed so that it can be circulated
They report that they have, in the
past year. made 1863 inspections. in
which they have condemned as cattle
and "a horses, the value of which was
S2941 The total value of the animals
they condemned the year before was
$19,20l. This large difference they say
emphasizes the uncertainty of the
work. They. Furthermore, say that the
great difference doubtless needs some
explanation. The greater part of the
difference was caused by the scare in
The early part of 1897. when the owners
of the various herds demanded that
their herds be inspected. In one herd
alone Jerseys valued at $3.50 were con-
demned and destroyed. Then the
boards of health from all over the

made the amount before the session Of
the Legislature in 1897 had closed.
amount to $7312. and caused that body
to appropriate $4,000 for the years
work instead of the usual $4,000. After
that scare was over the requests for
inspections We're not SO great.
The commission say that there
should be as great care used now as
before. though Maine is so very much
freer of tuberculosis than the other
New England states. Great care
should be preserved. They say that
with the sz2.14S of condemned cattle
and with only $4,000 appropriated.
there are many of the cattle unpaid
for. They hope the Legislature will see
that they receive larger appropria-
ton that the work may be carried on.
They say that the depletion of the
dairy COWS by being sent to the Brigh-
ton markets, still continues In 1897
there were 1857 cows shipped TO

ADJUSTMENTS.

Lieutenant Charles f. Jeffrey's eX-
hibition of hypotism at the opera house
last evening was superior. if anything,
to the performance, Monday night
Eighteen or 20 subjects volunteered
themselves for the experiments among
whom were several who had never
previously been hypnotized. No fe-
male subjects, however. could be in
duced by the operator to go on the
stage Mr.. Jeffrey prefaced the exhibit
ton as on Monday night by divers
phases Of hypnosis. The demonstra-
tons following were varied somewhat
from those of the night before, though
performed on the same general plan.
Mr.. Jeffrey is high class operator
with abundant ability To keep an audi
ence not only interested in the scien.
tific theory of hypnotism but also con-
vulsed by The ludicrous antics of his
subjects. -Biddeford Journal. Dec. 81

The air is full of railroad rlifflors now
and while some of tine schemes which
are advanced as probabilities may
never come to pass it is hoped that
some of them may materialize. as the
building of new railroad lines means
progress, advancement and develop
men for the State and prosperity for
all. The report that the Washington
County Railroad may some day ex-
tend to connect with the Grand Trunk
system farther west has aroused some
interest and led to more or less specu-
lation as regards the probable route.
While there are many rumors, one
report is to the effect that the line
might be run up the Union river as far
as the Nicatous region, crossing the
Penobscot river at some place near
Milford and from that town make some
sort of line to Union river lumber
region.
Down in Ellsworth some people have
an idea that the road will extend to
Castine and that the United States will
establish there coailing station, that
the road will then extend from the
Calais end Of the system over the
Princeton branch extending from there.

The fleeing thoughts of an idle hour,

What we often think but do not say.
And the unseen things that work delay;
The deeds that we do; the dreams that Nil
A future looming wide and still;
