From the Selma Times.

The governor and his back tax commits sioner in Birmingham expect to make capi- tai out of the fact that they are trying to make the university pay back taxes on it's lands in Jefferson county. The governor has evidently got it in for the university with which the alumni of that institution are opposing his election to the United States senate. But the gun is loaded at both ends, and this action will make the friends and graduates of the university work that much harder to defeat him. If report be true the governor has made enough out of the university deal to let that institution rest in peace. But he wants to do something to break the force of the blow that hIs double dealing with that institu- ton is doing him in his canvass for the senate,

Casey,s Acrobatio Cow

Mr. Casey, of South street, has wonder ful COW. It is the pet of the neigrlbolhood, and is comedy and doclle animal. A few days ago it was missing. Search was dili- gently made for it, but nobody had seen 1t, and the quest was about given up when it was found upstairs in the barn quietly munching hay, says the Ware River (Mass.) News. It seems that the COW slad had some kind of falling out with a horse that is kept in the barn with 1t, as It had been kicked or bitten, and either in fear or disgust, or because 1t was hungry, 1t climbed the dozen or so steep steps lead- ing to the floor above.
 What to do about getting the COW down was puzzle Finally pr. Etienne. who is well posted on the habits of the COW, was sent for. When the doctor arrived he con cluded that if the COW was able to go up stairs alone, it should be able to go down the same way with help. So the COW was gotten into good humor and coaxed down the stairway, and at last stood triumpaant- ly on the barn floor.

Forty Little Pigs Who Longed for Home


 The home instinct develops in young an!- mals almost as early as the desire for food. In the wild state it is a necessity, since without it the young could never keep in touch with herd or pack. Even after cen turtles of domestication, it is still acute Witness this tale of little pigs, says a writer in the Washington Star.
 They were under a month old when the;r owner decided to move. He wanted to fat ten and kill their mothers, so offered the lot of forty at a bargain price. A neighbor i've miles away bought the pigs, put them in 0 big box, hoisted the box on a wagon and hauled 1t home. There the pigs were put in a close pen, fed with milk and mush fer two weeks, then given the range of a smlll lot adjacent to the pen. Three mornings later every one was missing. A small hole care fully rooted under the gate was the sole explanation of their disappearance
 Their buyer searched high and low for them, sending even to adjacent farms, but could not find them. That afternoon the original owner sent word he had found tIhirty-nine of the forty standing sGuealing at his gate when he awolSe. The 6uyer, going to reclaim the strays, found the miss ing fortieth pig lying exhausted by the roadside, but still struggling to writhe along on the trail of its mates.

Tricks of q Degenerate Dor

Now and then there Is a degenerate dog, just as there are degenerate men, l once knew a dog of that kind says contribu- tor to the Indianapolis News. "He was a handsome fellow, a Scotch collie, black, with white breast, and lower .forelegs and tip of the tail also white. His father was a gentlemanly dog and his moiGleR was a. together reputable.
 'At an early age the dog took to killing chickens and would mouth and kill whole brood of downy chickens in less than Q minute from the first alarmed screen of the mother hen. A little later fe killed, as daily recreation, chickens of all Sorts and conditions. Many attempts were made to shoot him. but he seemed to be bullet proof. He would run into the street. seize a horse by the nose, and, swinging clear of the pavement, would hang there while the terrified horse would try to dislodge him. When a man on horseback cams along, he would proceed to have fun with him by seizing his horses tail. No whip could reach him, and when the rider would dismount the dog would beat successful retreat.
 He killed all the cats in the neiChbor- hood. When peddler with samples of po- tatoes or apples entered the yard of f,s owner he would greet him with a friendly wagging tail and escort him to the door, but when that same peddler turned his back to go out he never failed to take a bite at the calf of his leg.
 "The dogs conduct finally raised the neighbors against him, and the owner was informed that if he did not get rid of him the dog would be shot. To save his life the owner gave him to a butcher. In h.s new environment he lasted but one day. He bit the butchers daughter and the butcher killed him."

ColwelL Manager OF Price, Mccormick
e. Company's branch otfice, No. si6 Mid
die street, Portland. Me.
New York, March 2-The market con-
tinues to he adversely affected by three
features. Tho first Is the uncertainty
which exists In regard to the financial fu-
ture Of the Third Ave. company. The SEQ
ond ia the question as to what will be the
rate of dividend On sugar and the third
tie heaviness of the steel stocks In conse q
quenoe Of labor troubles In Chicago.
Third avenue opened weak and showed
very little rsllyipg power until 1t became
kno wn that the receiver had decided up
on an issue Of $40, 900, 900 certificates, A
moderate rally took place but IL was fol i
lowed by . reaction.
In sugar there WAS pronounced weak
ness at the opening followed by short
rally ana succeeded BY u decline which
led to the lowest prios established for
some time, the room is now convinced
that the next dividend Will certainly not
be over tine rate of six per cent per an
mum and there are rumors that dividends
may be suspended altogether.
Hoop was oouspiouously heavy on re-
ports which were subseq rently denisd, to
the effect that no dividend would be de-
clared during the current year. The rate
Of dividend is OF courfe problematical,
but the best Information Is that some
dividend will be declared.
Iaudon oparatiops ware not large and
consisting ms1nly Of selling TIRES or -four
thousand shares OF Southern railway and
q somewhat smaller amount OF Norfolk
and Westers common. Until the after
noon the railroad stocks hold pretty firm
then however, q fairly successful drive
was made and the whole market devel'
oped weakness, o good many stop orders
being uncovered. Peoples Gas was ei'
peoially heavy. During the last foul
a modersts rally took placs, but on the
whole the market was heavy and with a
marked lack Of snap.

Presidential Electors Must Ali BE
Chosen in State Convention.

sPrBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE,

REPUBLICAN STATE lDMMII Et, Z
AUGUSTA, MAINE, JAN. l. 1900.
To the Republicans Of Maine:-Prior
to 1892 two Presidential electors az large,
corresponding to the two United States
senators, were nominated in State con-
vention, and the remaining electors, cor
responding to the members of the United
States House of Representatives were
nominated by the several congressional
district conventions.
The passage of the Australian Ballot
law entirely changed the procedure. I'm
der the law, all Conventions are a por-
ton of our election system, and this
ballot act requires that candidates to be
voted for by the Voters throughout the
whole State must be placed in nomina-
ton by convention representing no less
n constituency than tho whole State.
Hence, all the candidates of a party for
Presidential electors must be nominated
in State Convention, and | have there
fore included in the call six electors.
J. Ii. MANLEY. Chairman.
