devolving upon individual officers.
Marshal Brown says that he has moth

the offensive conduct of his men was
due TO a miscoustruction Of orders. He
has said to Mr.. Atherton that officers
who go beyond the bounds Of their

Police Protection from ''surp. 1 .er-''
\ man appeared at police headquar-
tiers in Pennsylvania city the other
day and requested the services Of some
officer. Thinking a murder or some
kindred crime had been committed. the
chief had summoned one of his best
men before the real import Of the mans
request was made manifest. Instead OF
being killing ARRAY, the man wanted
protection from the onslaught of a pro
posed surprise party which was to be
given his niece that night. He said he
hated such things, and would not have
them, even If his wife and niece did
want them. He did not wish TO be
guilty Of assault and battery or posi-
bly, worse, hence his request for police
protection. A rOundsman was sent 20
guard the premises, and, though the
guests arrived, they were not allowed
10 enter the house, so the surprise par
ty did not come off.

Our hog men should be warned

go out of the business because
prices are not satisfactory just at
present. Pork is the cheapest of
all meats and the worlds hungering
multitudes must come 10 it, and all
the sooner if beef continues to be.

about the same price per 100 pounds
on the markets, and we see no SER

pounds Of pork can be produced at
less cost than the same amount of
beef, and in one-iourth the time.
Don't be pigless hog man, unless
unavoidable circumstances compel.
Corn is still worth 50cents a bushel

easily marketed.-Texas Farm and
