Another bad habit is reported to be
gaining ground among shippers OF
poultry-the marking OF their ship
ments at few pounds more than they
actually weigh and demanding returns
from the commission man accordingly.
The commission men have fourd 1t out.
but do not like to refuse TO make re-
turns according to markings, for rear
OF losing customers. II the habit is
not abandoned 1t will simply isad TO
the commission men getting even with
the shippers by some smart practices,
for which they have abundant oppor-
tunity. In a game OF this KIND the
| shipper is certainly not in a position
| to beat the middleman, and he FAD
better give 1t up. II moreover partakes
OF the character OF dishonest act and
| will not pay in the long run. What we
want in the whole commission business
is strict honesty In dealing, and we
| have even had laws passed to force the
commission men to be honest 1t Is
not wise for the shipper TO thus set
| the commission man an example in
| dishonesty.
There is no money In the poultry
business without work. In many cases
IL requires more than work-study.
The man that expects to keep large
flock OF hens by simply having good
houses and yards will fail. He cannot
run flock OF 100 or 200 hens by just
running out In the morning. throwing
out few measures of grain. giving
them supply OF water and going
away at the same quick-step at which
he came. That may work for awhile,
but he will soon find either that his
fowls are not doing we'll or that they
are dying off from some mysterious
disease. A man will simply get pay
for the time he puts in and not for
time that he spends at other affairs
A man who attempts TO keep 100 hens
will be surprised at the amount Of
time 1t takes him each day to looh
after them. When II is not one thing
to use I'D his time 1t is another. But
there is money in poultry for the mar
who expects to attend to IL rs he would
expect to attend to any other kind o.
business.

Demand for Texas Feeders.-The
cattle ranges in Texas have not been
In such excellent condition as now for
very many years, and as result the
Texas grass-fat cattle are going to
market in fine condition and are bring
ing prices that are pleasing to ship
pers. Those that are held to be fed
or to be sold to feeder-buyers will go
into the feed lots in better condition
than usual AS there is absolutely
nothing to indicate that there will be
any decline in prices and there is an
abundance of cheap feed-stuffs in all
the states where feeding is done, there
may be expected an unusually strong
demand for feeders. The supply from
Texas will, Of course, be principally
Young stun. In Texas there will prob
ably be more feeding than was done
last season, and more corn will be fed
than in any former feeding period

and Shot.

A dispatch from New Orleans says
the killing of Judge Brazil La Place
was one of the most sensational which
has taken place in Louisiana in years.
The report in the vicinity is that a
young lady was involved. Her father
was connected With the plantation and
left there Wednesday seeking to take
his daughter with him. She escaped
from him and remained behind. About
10 o'clock at night some one came to
the door and called for the Judge. He
came out and while walking down the
high stairway to the road a mob with
white masks suddenly rose around him,
seized him and pinioned his arms. BE
was led some distance when the crowd
halted, one man placed pistol to La
Places back and sent bullet through
his kidneys, killing him Instantly. The
body was left in the road. Rain fell
upon it during the night and it was re-
scued from the mud by relatives who
went up from New Orleans this morn
ing. These relatives aver that the
killing was political, but the woman
story is generally known and the mob
action was based upon the fact that
Judge La Place is married man, his
family residing at La Place, a few miles
away, named after his distinguished
father. Judge Rost has called meet
ing of the grand jury of the parish for
Friday.

border Of the Pampanga province was
the hottest accorded the advance of any
Of our troops. Instead of meeting ex-
pressioas of joy at our coming and the
display of white flags, as has been the
capture Of towns previously, we saw
nothing but empty houses, everything
seemed to have been moved, as if ex-
pecting US several days, and the only
sign of life were the dogs and the pro-
prietor Of the hotel, who has since been
sent to Bilibid prison, having been de-
tected in some underhand work, but
you will find pasted on the walls Of
most of the houses or hung in frame
card with ''Viva Ia Constitucion!"
"Viva la Republica Filipina!" Viva

AS Brig. Gen. Charles King expresses
it, these people are Intelligent, indus
trious and capable of self-government.
In this town Of Angels we find there
were schools equipped with seats and
desks similar to those used a few years
ago in the States, blackboards, etc.
There are police station and cells; a
justice Court room; there are we'll
built jail and pillory. They have
printed fo, ms for the payment Of taxes
and other provincial debts; they have
been using the stub book for several
years in their tax department, similar
to that introduced in the collector Of
taxes Office in Washington. In the
professions there are doctors, lawyers,
dentists and druggists. There are a
furniture factory, blacksmith and
wheelwright shops, and every evidence
of thrift and prosperity.
The benefits to be derived by the
United States in coneuering this island
seem small in comparison to the deaths
and hardships endured by the troops.
There are no tracts Of land to be taken
up; there is no opening for the laborer
or mechanic. Every available acre Of
ground is titled, and in buildings suit
able for this climate the native is far
superior, for nothing seems impossible
to him with bolo and bamboo. Of
course, the moneyed man has great
prospects before him in investments,
but for the Drawn and muscle of Amer
ica's sons that are enduring the torrid
sun and marching though vapors Of
malaria and typhoid fever the bright
vision ever before them is to have their
enlistment of three years end, and if
their lives are spared, to once more set
foot on the soil Of their fathers, and
build up shattered and broken down
constitutions and obliterate entirely
from their minds place called the
Philippine Islands.

Murdered the Husband.

Mrs. Leonard Neumeister and Fred
W. Nye, after preliminary hearing
at Tavares, Fla, on the charge OF nur-
dering Leonard Neumeister, have been
imprisoned, without bail, for the crime.
Two years ago there came from Louis
vile, KY, to Altoona, Lake County,
Fla, Leonard Neumeister and wife,
and with them was man named Fred
W. Nye. Not long before this time
Mr.. Neumeister had fallen heir to about
fifty thousand dollars. About three
weeks ago the old man was missing and
Mrs. Neumeister reported his absence
to the neighbors. She told them that
she had just found letter, written by
him and left in the louise, saying that
he intended to drown himself. The
men then went to deep lake a few rods
from the house and.there found his life
less body in the water. 1t was thought
from the appearance Of the writing
that the letter was not written by Mr..
Neumeister at all, but by some other
person. This led to the belief that the
old man had been murdered by his wife
and Nye.

The South Controls.

The Philadelphia Record, which is a
very close observer Of the development
of the south, considers the growth Of
the iron interest of this section one of
the most phenomenal industrial events
on record. The Record quotes the
president Of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company as saying:
Twenty years ago the company had a
capital, counting bonds and stocks tc-
Sether, of 500, 900, and was working
500 men, with an output Of 100 tons
per day of coal and 300 tons of coke.
1t was scarcely known beyond the coun.
ty in which it was operated and the city
Of Nashville. Team, to which its coal
vas mainly shipped. To-day with 4
bonded and stock capital aggregating
$50, 900, 600, with over II, 600 employ
ees on its pay rolls, with daily output
of Il 600 tons of coal, $500 tons OF
coke and $500 tons of pig iron, and an
approaching output Of 1900 tons per
day Of steel, it absolutely controls the
prices of foundry iron for the entire
world, putting them up or putting them
down.

Cost of the Navy.

The estimates for the maintenance of
the naval establishment for the next
fiscal year are huge compared to any
ever made before for similar ezpendl-
ture BY our government. They amount
to s73,O45, 1873, which is aR increase
over the appropriations for the current
wear of s24, 537, 1S7. Included in the
increase for the next yesr are approprl-
ations of SO, 26S. 474 for public works
and navy yards and stations. There is
also an estimate Of s2,021, 900 for the
new naval academy. The estimate for
the navy, including armor, guns and
machinery. is so, 1913, 101. The estl.
mate for the bureau OF construction and
repair is increased over the current ap-
preparation about 50, 600, ,0G0; for steam
engineering $1,000, 600; for pay of the
navy about 500, 900, while the esti-
mates for ordnance are decreased about

They Want More Pie

The colored Republicans of New Jer-
sey profess to be dissatisfied with the
course of the administration and allege
that if nothing further is done for
them by the Cranberry State Republi-
cans in the way of appointments to Of
fee, some Of them may be impelled by
profound sense of political duty to
vote the Democratic national ticket in
1900. Man Jersey Democrats hope
that they won't. Antlpathy to negro
suffrage has always been marked feat
ure Of the Democracy of New jersey;
New Jersey was one Of the six Sta:eS Of
the country which rejected the fifteenth
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for negro suffrage. The
other States which opposed it were
Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland, Cali
fornia and Oreson.
