The Poodle and the Lions.

that made me think of Mr. Montgom

lions on the sides of the steps, the
work Of Kemeys, are pretty lifelike.

little White poodle came down the steps
in the wake Of woman with stylish
clothes on. The poodle had gold col

lie walked up to one of the lions, set
tied back on bis hind legs. and looked
at the biz stone beast. Then he shifted
and glanced aro'lnd inquiringly. All
at once he made up his mind. He
made fierce rush for the lion, barking
as viciously and rs loud as dog six
inches long could lark. He positively

Auti.roreign POLICY In CHINA.

Pekin. March 2O.-The ascendancy
of the anti-foreign party is becoming
pronounced daily. The dowager en-
press appears unable to sufficiently re-
ward the officials who exhibit marked
hostility to everything not Chinese.
Hen Tung, probably the most bitterly
anti-foreign official of the empire, has
been decorated with the three-eyed pea
cock feather, which had never been
conferred for eighty years; the motor
ious Ii peng Hing who was dismissed
from the governorship of Shan Tung
on German demand. has been advanced
to the first RINK, and the former gov
ernor, Yuh Sen of Shan Tung, has been
appointed governor of the Shang-Si

believe his maladministration is the

practically upon which he desires to

convention.
The platform which was adopted by
The Nebraska Democracy with the
greatest enthusiasm, re-a1tirms the Chi
cago platform, declares for sixteen to
one" opposes large and standing
army, denounces the action of the Re
publican party on the Puerto Rico tar
in bill, declares against trusts and i'm
perialism," and favors the choice of
United States senator's by popular vote.
The platform is practically the crea-
tion of Mr.. Bryan. He did not write it,
personally, but he was consulted con
cerning 1t, and before ii was read to
the convention, he had approved of it
throughout.
The platform adopted by the Popu-
list convention was substantially tho
same as that adopted by the Demo-
Gratis. 1t differs somewhat in FORM
but conflicts in no essential point.

iastic for Bryan to the last degree, and

Supreme Court says It Can Regulate OH
Trust.
Washington, March 2O-In the Unit
ed States Supreme Court to-day an
opinion was handed down In the case
of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, in
volving Its right to do business in the
state of Texas, contrary TO the provis-
ious of the state antitrust laws of 1889
and 1895. The opinion sustained the
decisions of the state court to the ex-
tent of affirming them, and was thus
opposed to the contentious of the oil
company. but it did this upon the
ground that the state laws imposed a
condition which the oil company had
accepted, and hence was without
ground of complaint.
The basis of the action was the
Standard Oil trust, organized in 1882,
and 1t was owned that its intention was
to control and monOpolize the petrol
cum industry of the United States, in
restriction of trade, dividing the mar
kets of the United States into various
subdivisions, awarding Texas to the
Waters-Pierce company. The decision
of to-day was based upon the PROPOSE
tions which We're submitted to the jury
lin the original trial. Justice McKenna
SAID:
''The transactions of local commerce,
which We're held by the state courts to
!be violations of the statute, occurred in
contracts with certain merchants, in
which the plaintiff in error required
them to buy oil exclusively from 1t, and
from no other source, or buy exclusive
ly of the complainant in error and not
to sell to any person handling compet-
Ill Z. q.
plaintiff in error and TO sell at u price
fixed by it.
THE statutes" he continued. must
be considered in reference to these con-
tracts. In any other aspect they are not
subject to our review on this record,
except the power of the state court to
restrict their regulation of local COM
merce, upon which contention is
raised"

CAN'T LOWER FARES.
Detroits Attack on street Car Lines De-
feated.


Detroit, Mich, March 2O.-Judge
Swan of the United States District
Court, has rendered decision deny
ing the validity of an ordinance re-
quiring the street railway companies
to reduce rates of fare to 3 cents. The
court says there is nothing in the char
ter of the city which authorizes such
an ordinance and allows an injunction
to restrain the city from enforcing it.
Said Judge Swan;
ITO enforce this ordinance would be
an act not of regulation but of spoila-
ton. The police power includes the
general management as regards the
protection of life and property, and
the accommodation of the public; but
the Legislature itself could not effect
the fares agreed upon. 1t might be for
the welfare of the public that fares
should be abolished altogether but
that would be ,confiscation and could
not be tolerated"
A contention of the city in defend
ing the injunction suit was that since
the older ordinances provided that
rates of fare mot exceeding 5 cents"
should be charged, the city had power
to regulate the rates at ''reasonable"
figures. The court holds that the sub
stance or meaning of all these ordinan-
ces permits 5-cent fares, which priv
ilege cannot be afterward annulled.

MILLET FOR SOILING.
A Crop Furnishing Valuable Feed for
Dairy Cattle, Young stock,
sheep and Poultry.

Millet, says bulletin of the agricul-
tural department just published, is fed
principally as hay and soiling crop.
The forage ranks well with that OF
other grasses in the nutritive content,
and its palatability is about that of the
average for the coarser Sorts, For
digestibility, millet forage compares ia
vorably with that from other coarse
grasses.
Already widely grown as hay crop,
millets deserve more general use for
soiling. They are particularly valuable
for feeding to dairy cattle, young stock
and sheep. There are many sections of
the country where this crop can be
made to supplement the pastures in
such way as to allow a material in
crease in the number of stock that can
be kept on the farm.
On account of the heavy yield of for
age and the good quality of the product,
millets are excellent grasses for use in
the silo Frequently good crop of mil
let can be raised under conditions which
would not admit of growing corn for en-
silagc, and in such instances it becomes
of especial value. One of the best meth
DDS of preserving this crop is by the use
of the silo. Those who have tried this
method have obtained excellent results.
A fine quality of ensilage may he made
by using barnyard millet and legu-
minous crop like soy beans or clover.
The seed of the foXtail millets is widely
used as food for fowls and birds, but is
seldom fed to stock. 1t has, however,
been used in feeding young stock, such
as calves, with fair degree of success.
The seed is excellent food for laying
hens.-Farmers' Voice.
