THE HONEY HUNTERS.

Nothing is gained by feeding bees when
there are plenty of flowers.
When bees build comb in their natural
way, an excess of drones is usually pro-
duced.
No drones are reared in colony until
it becomes very strong and the combs are
well filed.
Combine Bookkeeping with fruit grow
ing, and YOU can get two crops from the
same land.
Bees have been known to swarm in a
box hive when the hive was only three
fourths full.
While honey is much improved in favor
by remaining in the hive few weeks
after it is finished. it will be darker in
color and less attractive.
To prevent hive from swarmng a
second time, it is needful to take out all
frames in less than "a hours after
swarming and destroy all queen cells but
one.
Moth worms are very destructive to
empty combs in beehives where bees
have died or in combs that have been
put away unoccupied. Put the combs
in tight box and fumigate with sui
phur.-St. Louis Republic.

the internal arrangements movable so
that when the house is to be cleaned they
may readily be taken out.
The guinea is one of the best of for

A deposit of contract in the postofice
addressed to the party to whom it 10 TO

Creditors for whose benefit an assign
ment has been made may nevertheless
prosecute their claims to judgment and
levy execution.
A transfer of the firm assets by two in
solvent members of the firm to the other

people can be of assistance to you.
People begin to watch" widow with

death.
A man never makes guess at his
sisters ages that he doesn't cause a

A man has not only to fight against the
possibility of what woman finds out,
but also what she dreams about him.
Every woman occasionally curls her
hair and starts out fiercely to be happy
in spite of fate. (By fate is meant
an unappreciative husband. )-Atchison

FUTURE OF STREET PAVING.
fDubuuue Times.


Another case of easy conscience on
the subject of special assessments has
developed at Ottumwa. Ia, where the
Chicago Asphalt Company has entered
suit against forty-five abutters to coll
1ect special assessments for the inn
proyement of street. Inc abutters
admit the Improvement is an excellent
one, but the recent decision of the fed
eral supreme court in an Ohio case has
encouraged them to believe that they
can escape payment, leaving the Chi
cago contractors to collect their money
from the city If they can or go without.
Before this case can run the gauntlet
of the courts the legislature will have
amended the existing law by providing.
among other things, that the cost of d
special Improvement shall be distribut-
led in proportion to benefits. City coun-
ellis Will assume that this law will au-
thorize them to distribute the cost ac
cording to frontage, just as they have
been doing, except in rare cases where
this method would manifestly not CON
|stitute an assessment in proportion to
benefits. and that in all such cases the
burden of proving the injustice of the
assessment will rest on the abutter.
If the courts shall sustain this view
all will be we'll. Otherwise councils
will be compelled to divide the cities
into districts and to tax the cost of
Improvements in each district to all the
property within it, 1t has been sug
gested that the entire cost should be
thrown upon the city and paid out of
the general fund but this suggestion
comes from lawyers who have reflected
only upon the decisions of the courts
and have given no thought to the con-
sequences which would follow such a
system. If it We're adopted the levy for
road purposes would be run up to the
legal limit and arportioned among the
wards without regard to the actual
needs of each and O. few years of this
would precipitate demand upon the
Legislature for law reducing the max
imum levy for road purposes and en-
towering each ward or district to make
an additional levy of its own for inn
provements to be made within the ward
or district. City councils are now au-
thorzed to establish the district system
but are not compelled to do so. In
the interest of economy and justice the
law should be made mandatory whether
the courts uphold the special assess
ment system or not The councils au-
thority to make liberal levy for the
road fund and liberal expenditures of 1t
is always abused and politics always
enters into the distribution of the fund.
A law taxing improvements in each dis
trict to the district would make the
taxpayers of each force on the side Of
economy whereas today every district
struggles to secure improvements nee
essary and unnecessary at the expense
of the city in general.

NEW WAY OF RAISING HOGS.

Waterloo Reporter, 12.
new way Of raising hogs for profit
occurred at Rath Packing Company's
plant this morning, when W. l.. Rofr-
son, son of Henry Rohrsop, farmer,
altered scale check to increase the
revenue from load of hogs he had Just
marketed. Robinson was arrested and
arratgned before Justice i. A. Mears,
charged with uttering forged instru-
ment. He was bound over to the grand
jury and his bonds Were fixed at 5000.
Young Rohrson's load of hogs weighed
1885 pounds and he sold them to the
company for s4.15 per hundred.
He was given scale ticket by Cy.
Corson, the weighmaster, with instruc-
tions to take it to the office, where he
would receive his money. He presented
the ticket to Fred Rath, who drew a
check for the amount. Rohrson's ac-
tons and his haste to leave the office
after securing the check aroused Mr..
Rath's suspicious, and he followed the
man out and demanded to see the check.
He then took the weight ticket to Cor
son and found the amount had been
raised to defraud the company out of
$3.50. Rohrson at once confessed and
his arrest followed.
