GET THE FACTS.

The Board of City Commissioners
claimed today to have discovered ap-
pearances of fraud in connection with
the claims for $1,675 presented to the
city and county In payment of the SER
vices of the detectives who were i'm
ported into Akron shortly following
the riot.
1t Is believed by the Commissioners
that the detectives have hoodwinked
the taxpayers and they are going to In
sist upon n thorough investigation of
the bills before they will allow them.
The Democrat last week said that
the officials concerned would make n
mistake II they allowed the claims
without questioning their genuineness,
and the people will be glad to note
to find out something about the claims
or resist payment.
The arrest and detention upon ser.
ious charge of the man who was re-
puted 10 be the star of the imported
detectives have caused the public to he
suspicious of the entire transaction In
relation to the arrangement with the
detectives. And this suspicion is not
moderated In the least by the extraor-
dlnary size and vague terms of the
claims that have been presented for the
taxpayers of Akron and Summit coun,
ty to pay.
II has been publicly charged, upon
the responsibility OF men whose word
has some weight with Akron people
that one o. the detectives connlved
with member Of the police force
to employ the sham robbery of an Ak.
ron bank for the advantage of n man
who was seeking an office.
From these transactions, that to say
the least appear to be shady, what con
clusions shall the people be asked to
draw? Does II go far toward reducing
popular distrust that no word of OK,
PLANTATION or comment has been given
whose names were publicly connected
with the startling disclosures?
The Democrat believes that condi

New Zealand Lambs,

Reports from New Zealand indicate
an exceptionally prolific season. In
Canterbury especially the crop of lambs
Is said to be extraordinary, not only
twins, but triplets also being unusually
numerous, while there are not a few
reports Of four lambs to the eve, and
n eve is mentioned as having drop
ped five lambs. According to the Lit
telton Times, F. Todhunter of Wester-
field. Canterbury, has in one paddock
20 ewes with triplets and one with five
lambs, three Of which are being reared
by hand. Another breeder has about
$50 lambs to the 100 ewes. nine being
triplets and two having produced four
each. In both these focks Shropshire
rams were used, the ewes being three
quarter bred Leicesters in the former
case and half breeds in the latter. Ref
erence is also made to a wonderful
SouthdoWn eve kept by a butcher as a
decoy in his slaughter yards. She was
bought as a lamb Is years ago and has
had twins every year since she was a
yearling, having produced "a lambs.

Healthy Hogs.

The health Of hogs does O depend
in any measure on the promiscuous
feeding Of drugs. If proper attention
were given to all the hogs in the coun-
try, the makers of cholera cures would
have no demand for their medicines.
When it is said they live off the igno-
rance Of the public, it is but to tell the
truth, and it is not saying anything
against them or their remedies. These
men who have studied hog cholera in
all it's phases are the first to say that
the disease first gets it's foothold in
filthy pens and yards and from drink
ing stagnant water. From this start
herds that are properly cared for be-
come infected, and if the season is
favorable for the development Of the
germs Of disease an epidemic Of hog
cholera follows that sweeps hogs worth
untold thousands. 1t cannot be said
too many times that hogs are clearly
by nature. They are the only domestic
animals that will habitually have a
certain place in which to deposit their
droppings, keeping the remainder of
the range clean, if they are allowed to
do so: Give pure water and plenty
Of green feed during the period of
development, and hog cholera, If it
comes at all, will come from an out
side source. Once it has arrived prompt
measures to check it's ravages should
be resorted to and persisted in until
the disease is checked.-Swineherd.

DOING GOOD.
Mrs. Holley Active in Relieving Dis
tress Among Fargo Poor.

The Fargo. Argus says of the good
work being done there by Mrs. Holley,
Of the State Humane society:
Since the visit of Mrs. Holley, of the
State Humane society, to the city, sew
eral acute cases of restitution and neg
lected disease have been brought to
light on lower Front street, consisting
of a man and wife and five children,
living in a room about twelve feet
square. Three OF the children were
sick with the fever at the same time,
one of them dying on Friday, leaving
two still in bed. Another child is con-
fined to his bed with a broken limb,
the father is out of work and the
mother in a feeble and delicate condi-
ton. On Friday there was nothing
in the house for the family to eat, O
clothing enough to keep warm. The
police department ferreted out the
case n through the efforts of Chief
Bowers aid was sent them at once.
and Mrs. SWarts sent a generous sup
ply of groceries. a physician was
sent to the place and prescribed for the
sick ones and a general air of better
conditions is apparent though there is
still a great deal of work to be done
u the leliel vi ILLS particular IdlnlIy.
Another family of six children and a
widowed mother was given new shoes
and stockings by one of the real estate
men of the city and he also sent a sup
ply of groceries and is doing all in his
power to help them with cast-off cloth
ing. The conditions to be seen at the
old rookeries on lower Front street are
~disgraceful and some body should be
detailed to have them given a general
cleaning up. 1t has been contended
that the charitable societies of the city
are doing all in their power and attend
to each case as it is brought to their
notice, but there does not appear to be
any united effort for the relief of the
poor whom we have with Us always.

TRY THE CHINAMEN.
Cases Against Cinnamon at Fargo
Promise to Become of National
Importance. 81
Assistant U. S. Attorney Allen Will
Assist With the Trial of the
C~elestials.
TRYING

Assistant District Attorney Allen
expects to go to Fargo about the first
of February to assist with the trial of
the Cinnamon detained there for I'M
lawful entrance into the United States.
P. H. Rourke, United States district
attorney for North Dakota; Robert H.
Foreman, special agent for the treas
ury department, and l.. w. Gammons,
an attorney of Minneapolis, are in Girl
cago now for the purpose of taking
dispositions in the case of seventy
Cinnamon who are waiting for trial
at Fargo, before Judge Amidon of the
United States district court for having
violated the Chinese exclusion act by
crossing the frontier at Portal, n. D.,
in defiance of the orders of the customs
collection district of North and South
Dakota.
All the prisoners claim to be mer-
chants returning to this country. and
as such they would have the right of
entry, but their claim is disputed by
the federal officers, and the contro-
versy is to be fought in the federal dis
trict court at Fargo at the coming ses-
sion. SiXty-three of the men arrested
aver they are merchants returning to
Chicago. They have given numerous
Chicago references, chiefly among the
denizens of Chinatown. and it is chiefly
for the purpose of taking the testimony
of the latter that the party is at Chi
cago. Mr.. Gammons represents the
Cinnamon and Luther Latin Mills and
Thomas e. Milchrist of Chicago are
also Of counsel for the defendants.
These cases promise to attract much
attention IL to become of national
Importance, since the officials of the
q. S. court of this district believe there
exists a combination of persons in this
country to furnish Cinnamon with
certificates that will enable them to
enter, Notwithstanding the Chinese ex-
clusion act. The law provides that
Chinamen who are merchants in this
country may return after having Wis
tied China. They are supplied with
identification papers and are photo
graphed, in order that their identity
may be established. The court off
Gals here believe that these identifi-
cation cards and photographs are
shifted so as to permit of the entrance
of Chinese laborers. If the facts car
be sifted out, as the district attorney
is e~ndeavoring to do. the case will be
of great Importance through the coun-
try and may result in some startling
developments.

LOS PECULIARITIES.

Bishop Edsall'S work takes him

and the Episcopal church has a good
many prosperous missions in the red
skin country, says the Wahpeton
Globe. Recently While holding SER
vices on the Fort Totten reservation
an old Indian expressed a desire to en-
ter the church when the next contirma-
ton was held. OF course the bishop
was pleased with professions of the In
dian, and engaged him in conversa-
ton to learn his mental and moral
condition. Have you a wife and
children?" asked the Bishop. Ugh,
yes, me two" replied the red man,
with pardonahle pride. What, have
you two wives? said the astoaished
churchman. THAT will never do.
The white mans religion don't permit
of but wife. Can't you fix the
matter SO as to keep but one Wife
asked the bishop. Ugh. me old wife
-no like to drive her away. She has
worked hard and been faithful. /

FOR THE POST.

A Washington dispatch to the Pho
neer Press says:
Adjutant General ICorbin today as
sured Representative Stevens that the
latter's recommendation for the APP
pointment of a board to examine into
the Feasibility of enlarging Fort Smell;
ing, will receive immediate considera-
ton. The presence of Mr.. Stevens on
the committee of military affairs will
aid materially in urging the enlarge
ment Of Smelling in the event the war
officials approve the scheme. While
the enlargement of the fort has been
a subject of consideration for some
years, Mr.. Stevens believes the pros
poets are better for success at this time
than for some years. 1t is believed
in some quarters that the rehabilita-.
ton of the post at Bismarck, n. D.,
may have an ayerse effect on the ma
terial enlargement of Smelling. The
department has nearly exhausted ithe
$4,000 appropriation made last win
ter for repairs at Bismarck. and the
North Dakota delegation will make an
effort this winter to secure an addi-
tional 100000 for the Bismarck post.

Strength of Fine Woods.

The world has only recently realized
the fact that there is a shortage Of
fine woods. A long period of discour-
agement, during which many breeders
in America, Argentina and Australia
dispersed their locks or crossed with
English rams, is partially responsible
for this. Then came terrible losses Of
Australian sheep by drought and final
ly a call from the consumers Of the
world for fabrics requiring fine woods.
For some time the market for these
woods has been remarkably active and
strong regardless of the trade in coars-
er qualities. All this has had a SPLEEN
did effect on the trade in fine wool
sheep. Breeding stock of this kind is
In good demand at figures which re-
ward those who held on to their focks
during the dark days Of cheap wool.

PIG PORK.
Why 1t Is the Best and Also More
~ Profitable.

e. -.s .arE.sE-rrA . r-. .
Almost everybody likes roast pig. 1t
is a much sweeter and tenderpr meat
than beef or mutton. and the pig re-
tains this superiority of flavor until it
is 5 or 6 months old and has attained
a dressed weight Of 12O to $50 pounds.
says The American Cultivator. If it
is an early spring pig. it will keep the
fine flavor Of pig pork until corn be-
comes plentiful, and 1t is fed heavily
In order to fatten it. even though it tip
the scales at more than 25O pounds.
The reason appears to be that during
the early months of it's growth the pig
gets much milk. fruit and other feed
that is easily digestible and thus keeps
Its digestive organs in good working
condition. 1t is often supposed be-
cause hogs are such feeders
that they have naturally strong diges-
ton. On the contrary, the young pigs
digestion is poor. 1t is by eating plen-
tifully Of s%ucculent and easily digested
o while young that the pigs di-
gestive organs are strengthened, so
that when the time for corn feeding
comes, unless the pig is 6 or I months
old, it has not had time to fit itself for
exclusive corn feeding. This is one
reason why the early spring pigs are
usually 40 to SO pounds heavier in the
fall than those born the latter part of
April or May.
Fall pigs cannot usually be proita.
bly, wintered. They certainly cannot
if no succulent and easily digested food
has been provided for them during the
winter. On a corr diet they will be
stunted. and a breeding SOW fed Who'll
ly on corn will produce a litter of pigs
that were runts when born. Even with
the best of care such pigs cannot be
made to pay. But If any have late fall
pigs they may keep them growing dur.
ing the winter if they will provide a
diet Of wheat middlings with as many
beets as the pigs will eat up clean and
very little corn. If other roots than
beets are given, 1t is better to boil
them and while still not stir in he
wheat middlings SO as to partially cook
it. On such feed the pigs will grow
thriftily even III winter. But this
makes more labor than leaving the
pigs to be kept over winter for breed
ers narrowed the previous spring.
