JUST FULL OF SURPRISES.
That constitutional Amendment Adopted
by Hawkeye State Voters.

Des MoineS. Ia, Nov. 11.-AttorEeys
have discovered Il new and serious re-
suit of the defect in the constitutional
amendment which Iowa people adopt
ed last week providing for biennial
elections. Through the adoption of
the amendment. which extended the
tenure of officers whose terms would
otherwise expire in January for an ad-
ditiOnal year, it is now believed that
the people failed of electing any state
county and township tickets on Nov.
q, excepting the electoral and judicial
candidates and those to ill vacancies.
Not only cannot the officers who
seem to have been elected take their
seats from January, as provided by
the amendment, but not ut all, because
the election was invalidated. and the
incumbent officers will hold not only
during the additional year guaranteed
by the amendment, but during still an
other. because the ticket just elected
was Illegally elected and the amend
ment absliShcS all elections until 1908.
Attorneys say that, granting that
the people voted for the nominees first
and elected them. by adopting the con-
stitutional amendment aftcrward they
repealed their first action and to all
intentS and purposes abolished the of
fetal tenure of the officials they had
elected and legislatcd the successful
candidates out of office before they
had been seated.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The novel snow storm in the pro-
duction of Way Down East" which
is to he given at Harper's theatre to-
morrow night, is worked by electric
ity. The scene is a kitchen with a
door and window. About 10 feet
above the floor and just at the stage
right of the door are erected appli-
ances so placed that the wind causes
the air TO take sort of whirling
course down past the door and the
window. The papers are dropped out
of box, while salt goes from cylind-
ers into this wind. The beautiful
snow beats against the window and
when the door is opened the wind and
the snow whistles chill in the door
way. The production will be pre-
sented by an able cast and in all its
completeness. 1t promises to be one
o. the finest theatrical offerings of the
season. The prices are %, 80, 40, 81,
$3.50, and box seats 81.

tire is pleased to announce the coming

Full Effect of the Decree.
PRESIDENT WILL NOT CONSENT.
Does Not Desire Reduction of Representa-
ton in Any Southern State.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE opinion
is growing among public men who are
in the confidence of the president that
he will oppose any movement looking
10 a reduction of the congressional rep
reSentatiOn of the southern states on
account of charges of the disfranchise-
ment Of cOlored voters. The president
is said TO be opposed TO reviving i'll
feeling, which he thinks would be the
result of bill thus touching the
SOuth's suffrage. He has been told
from many sources recently that an
important element of southern bust
ness men. manufacturers and others.
Is at heart with the Republicans, and
that the necleuS of future revolution
against existing political methods in
the south has been securely establish
ed and should not he diSsipated by
legislation that would be regarded as
sectional.
On account of the presidents atti-
tude there is Il growing opinion that
legislation looking To the reduction of
the southern representation will not be
pressed by party leaders in congress.
In This connection il is suggested that
any action taken with reference TO the
suffrage of the south in advance of the
adoption of a definite policy in the
Philippines might throw some embar-
raSsment in the way of the proper dis
position Of the citizenship rights OF the
FiHpinos: moreover. il is felt that the
government has as much as it can deal
with now without getting into con-
tentiou over domestic affairs

tOllOS should remain III the SstLle A'lIlNS
during the coming administration. The
resignation of the attorney general
will not take effect until March next.
and it is thought at present that all
the other members. with the possible
exception of the secretary of war, will
retain their present positions.
Talked OF the Chinese Question.
The Chinese question was the main
topic of discussion, and comment was,
freely made on the news that Prince
Tuan was to be imprisoned for life for
his part in the outrages upon for
eigncrs in China. ChwanE, also a
prince. is sentenced to the same fate.
This is done by an alleged imperial
decree and the officials mentioned are
among the highest i'll China, and COM
prise most, if not all, of those against
whom the powers demanded rigorous
punishment. Prince Tuan stands at
the head of the anti-forei@n and Boxer
movement. Previous edictS have de-
graded him and taken away his office
and servants. but this Judgment Of life
imprisonment iS the most severe thus
far given TO any of the leaders re-
sponSiblc for the trouble.
Extreme Penalty to ALI Sinful.
From a Chinese standpoint it is an
extreme penalty to Il prince of the
blood but ii remains To be Dhen wheth
quate to Prince Tuan'S offenSe. Others
mentioned in the decree were Tuan's
active associates. and two of them were
specifically mentioned for punishment
in Secretary Hays note of Oct. 3.
Kang-Yi. one of those mentioned. is
one of the officials who died suddenly
after the demands for punishment had
been made. probably by suicide. Yu
Hsien is another who was thought to
have committed suicide. but the edict
indicates that, he is Still alive. As the
ministers ut PekinG also have been
considering the question of punish
ments it will develop speedily when
they lay their demands before the Chi
ncSc ENJOYS whether the edict of the
Chinese emperor gives punishmcnts
which are regarded as adequate to fit
the crimes.
Full Effect of the Decree.
The decree in full dcpriveS Prince
Tuan and Prince Chwang of their
ranks and offices and orders them to
be imprisoned for life; Prince Yih and

uned, Secondary Prince Lien to be de

When to Market Hogs,

The cost per pound of growing and
fsttening hog for market increases
with the size and age of the animal. 1t
costs much less to raise two hogs,
weighing 300 pounds each, than to grow
one weighing 900 pounds and even 500
pounds is too heavy to be profitable I'M
der ordinary circumstances" says
Farmers Revie,o. GA hog must con-
sumo certain amount of food to main
tain his present weight, and for that
food the owner receives no returns.
Whatever the hog can be induced TO
eat in excess of the amount required
for maintenance goes to the production
of growth, and it is from this excess
that all gains and profits are made.
"These facts make it to the interest
of the feeder to induce his hogs TO eat
all they can digest and to secure gains
as rapidly as possible. A pig which is
made to weigh 200 pounds at six months
or 300 pounds at a year old is always
profitable, while if it takes twoIyears to
no axe 300 pounds the last 10 pounds
will usually be made at loss. As the
rate of growth, both in proportion to
the size of the animal and to the
amount of food given, decreases as the
hog becomes larger, there must come a
time when pound of increase will cost
more than it will bring on the market,
and it is a nice point with the feeder to
decide when that time will come and to
market his hogs before it is reached
Ordinarily this time will come when the
hog weighs from $50 to 300 pounds, but
may be reached either above or below
those weights.
GA hog one year old and weighing
300 pounds in November may still
m axe profitable gain if he has thu
cleaning of recently harvested corn
field with an abundance of cowpeas
the leavings of sweet potato field, O
any similar food which would other
wise be wasted, but If none of thes
feeds are available, and all the foo,
consumed must be purchased, it will b
more profitable to sell at once, evel
if the weight is not more than 20
pounds"

matter in the food. DR.. Cameron,
health officer of Leeds, said that for
some years diarrl ea among children
had been on the increase in Leeds, and
this was probably due to the use Of
chemicals in milk, as some of these
preservatives have the property of in
ducing such condition. DIR. Mann,
health officer for Manchester, said that
no preservatives of any kind should be
permitted in milk.-Farmers Review.

Treatment for Pinkeye.

Symptoms of pinkeye are in stiff
shoulders, one or more legs swell bad
ly, sometimes to the body. The eyes
become swollen, with matter in them,
look CLASSY, and, in fact, the horses be-
come blind, or nearly 80. The follow.
ing treatment is recommended: Place
the sick horses in a clean, airy, we'll
ventilated stable and keep pure water
before them all the time. Every four
hours-oftener in bad cases-give each
animal affected two drains of saltpeter
and one dram of fluid extract of gen.
tian root in one ounce of whiskey and
one ounce of water. Add ten drops of
the fluid extract of belladonna leaves
If there is cough accompanying the
other symptoms mentioned.
Keep the eyes constantly covered
with soft cloth, kept wet with a So
luton of forty drops Of chloro naph-
holeum in one quart of water. The
patients should be fed anything they
fancy, and after the fever subsidies and
the appetite returns stop the other med
icine and substitute the following:
Sulphate of quinine, four drains; tinct-
ure of the perchlorid of iron, one and
half ounces; water one pint. The
dose is two ounces three times daily
until the horse feels entirely we'll and
all discharge ceases. The disease is
infectious and for this reason affected
animals should be kept separate from
other horses.-Breeder and Sportsman.

Drugs Injurious In the Dairy.

The more preservatives are investi-
gated the more Objectionable they are
found. In England as we'll as in Amer
lea they are being looked after. From
things that have come to light it cannot
be doubted that during the last few
years especially the use of preservs-
tives in milk, cream and other products
has caused large amount of sickness
and many deaths, especially among in
valids and children. Last year the
British Parliament appointed COM
mittee to investigate the use of preser-
vatives in food. Its Investigations
have brought to light good many
things of interest. One distinguished
physician said that he had been expert
menting with boric acid on himself and
friends. In small quantities the kid
neys could dispose of it, but it had a
tendency to accumulate. He used it in
larger quantities on himself and it had
the effect of causing loss of appetite
and lassitude. 1t should never be used
in milk, as it especially affects the d.
gestive powers of weak children and
babies.
DIR. Voelcker, consulting chemist to
the Royal Agricultural Society of Eng
land, said that boric acid should not be
used in milk and cream. DIR. Walford,
health officer of Cardiff, said that boric
acid is injurious in the quantities in
which it is used in milk. DIR. Hill,
health officer of Birmingham, said that
the people who put boric acid in milk
know nothing of its medicinal proper
ties. 1t is drug and requires regula-
ton. The use of boric acid is being
discarded and more dangerous chem
ical put in its place-formaldehyde.
This latter hardens the albuminous
