An injunction forhidding persons from
using Il marriage license is the latest
thing in legal line to develop itself i'll
the Mills County courts. Hugh Rabbit
is farmer living near Strakan. Pearl
Babbitt, aged 10, is his daughter. Leslie
Shay wooed the Young woman and they
determined to get married. Mr.. Rabbit
was opposed on account of the tender
years of his daughter. The couple detied
paternal wishes, and, going TO Sidney,
secured license to we'd. Mr.. Rabbit
lad kept close watch on the couple and
no sooner had the license been secured
than he proceeded to Red Oak, where
Judge Smith was holding court, and pro-
cured an injunction restraining young
Shay from making use of the permit.

Cows go dry from mismanagement
more than from any other cause. Irreg-
ularity of milking and failure to strip"
when milking will cause any COW to
dry off. The richest milk is the last
drawn from the udder, and for that
reason alone the dairymen should strip
closely. Changes of food, when made
suddenly, will also cause the COWS to
fall off in yield; but in winter the
cause may also be due to extreme cold
and insufficient shelter, while in sum
mer the use of netting in the windows
to protect the stables against the en-
trance of flies and other insects will
serve to prolong the milking period.

A Fatal Celebration.

A sad accident occurred at Poplar.
Some of the inhabitants were shooting
off two anvils, between which was plac-
ed the hub of wheel. for the purpose.
it is said, of making the noise of the
explosion louder. When the powder was
touched off there was deafening report,
above which was heard loud cry of
agony. When the noise was stilled II. s.

street, his head being almost entirely
severed from his body. 1t was found
that the hub was blown from between
the anvils and that it struck the nnfortu-

Root Vegetables for Stock,

Turnips, carrots and potatoes contain
a large proportion of water, and though
such crops are bulky, yet the actual
proportion of solid matter taken from
the soil is small. Containing such a
large quantity of water, they are very
succulent and are equal to ensllage for
cattle, though ensilage is cheaper in
cost. When cut or sliced or cooked
these crops can be fed in connection
with ground grain with greater profit

We are told in the dispatches from
Washington that the President. aided
by his eyer-faithful Grosvenor, has de-
termined to make an example of the
Republican officeholders in Utah who
are charged with practicing polygamy.
This is right. But why We're these off
cials appointed?Is their polygamy only
reprehensible now because it has been
brought into public view by the devel-
opments in the Roberts case? Mr.. Me-
Kinley should have inquired into the
moral turpitude of these nppointees a
good while ago. He should not have
waited until American public opinion
aroused the sacredness of the Ameri-
can home and the Christianity of the
institution of marriage, implied in
places of public trust and honor. His
failure to make inquiry into the moral
ity of Federal appointees in Utah ear
lier is culpable. The culpablity of his
conduct is not removed by his present
efforts tooust the polygamous officials.
His zeal under the circumstances has
more the appearance Of playing politics
than of responding to a quickened con-
science.-Kansas City Times.

Making Ounce Trees Pay.

There is no kind of fruit that in To-
calities that are adapted to it pays bet
ter than ounce. 1t is an annual bear
Ell, and it blossoms so late that its bios
SONS are never destroyed before set
ting. The greatest difficulty in grow
ing ounces of late years has been the
fungus which attacks leaf and fruit
This can, however, be kept down by
cutting out and burning all diseased
portions as soon as seen, and by free
use of Bordeaux mixture to keep the
foliage healthy. No cedar trees should
be allowed to grow near ounce trees
They furnish the spores that in the
ounce produce the rust of leaf and rot
Of the fruit. BY destroying all cedar
trees in the vicinity ounces may be
grown with success in many places
where this fruit is now a failure.

is the season Of the year for all repairs
and renewals. Every implement or

London, Feb. 6-Chamberlain's speech
in the house yesterday has greatly i'm

that only time is needed to reward their
policy with British victory AS an evil
dence Of the governments activity, is
cited the announcement that $4,000 men
and 5000 horses will leave England for

In proportion as the interest in the Ma
tai campaign slaCkens, it increases in
the operations in central Cape Colony
There is evidence that the campaign
for the invasion of the Orange Free
State, called the Original plan" is ac-
lively on foot. A large force of infantry
is reported to be advancing to seize
NorvaTs Point, on the Orange river, the
occupation of which would cut off the
Beers main line of retreat from Coles
berg.

where in the vicinity with his brigade.
The position of the three generals is
favorable for a three-cornered advance
to seize the crossings of the Orange
river at Bethuic and NorvaIs pont.
It is supposed that General Methuen's
forces at Modder river will cooperate
with the invasion of Republican terri
tory by a turning movement toward
Bloemfontein. This would mean the
| abandoning of the Kimberly relief plan,
but the Bloemfontein movement might
| Indirectly accomplish the relief of Kim
berly as it would almost certainly
draw off the investing Boer force.
Alate dispatch from Modder river says
that the sick in Methuen's command are
| being sent to the base hospital. This
! might be interpreted to mean that the
movement of the Modder river column
is impending.
