VERDICT OF GUILTY.
Brass Stealing Case Completed, and
MOsher's Trial Begun.

The case of Wenzel and Peter Huettl
and Frank Miller. charged with steal
ing brass fixtures from Anton Magin s
went to the jury at 10 80 a. M, and
one hour later the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty of grand larceny in
the second degree.
The trial of Austin Mosher on the
charge of assault in the second degree
upon Marion Hammer was begun this
afternoon. W. N. Plymat is the de-
PENDANTS attorney. Hammer was on
the stand this afternoon and told the
story of the bloody fight June 18th last
between two employees of the Minneopa
dairy farm. Mosher is the foreman
and became angry because Hammer,
who delivered milk for the farm, let
some of the cattle that he was tending
get into the grain. Words led to blows,
Hammer striking the first one, claim
ing that he was acting in self defense.
Mosher then got him down and
pounded him and chewed one thumb
badly. When Hammer was let up he
picked up hose and struck Mosher SO
hard with it across his side that the
handle broke. Mosher picked up the
piece having the hoe at tached and
struck Hammer on ne side of his
scalp, tearing the scalp and one ear
loose. Hammer then picked up two
cobble stones and started for Mosher,
when Mr.. Mitchell came along and
stopped him and took him home,
where he nearly tainted from loss of
blood. DR.. Andrews was summoned
and dressed the injuries.

DRAFT HORSE POINTS.
Every Feature of the Animal should
Indicate Kindlinezs, Intelligence
and Strength.

Size is an important item in the
draft horse, provided, Of course,
that his disposition is such that bis
size and strength can be used to ad"
vantage.
The 1000 or 1,3OO-pound horse can.
not draw the load that the 1,s00-pound
horse can, so that the buyer of good
draft team usually wants them as
large as possible. provided they are
as good as they are big
While there will always be consid-
cradle difference of opinion among
buyers on minor points, in general the
main points will be similar.
The neck should be deep, but not
too thick above, and should appear to
be a part of the animal rather than
stuck on. The head, neck, ears, and,
indeed, the whole horse, should indi-
cate kindness, intelligence, energy
and vigor.
The shoulder must be strong and
muscular and should stand at nearly
right angles, as he will thus get hold
of his load better. In a coach or car
rage horse sloping shoulder is de-
sirable, but not so in a heavy draft
horse. While the leg should be clean
below, it should be well muscled above,
with strong well-dehned tendons, es-
pecially behind, and gracefully thick
aning and widening up the arm and
thigh, until their outlines are lost in
q symmetrical arch at their connection
with the body. Such formation sets
the legs under the horse, rather than
stuck on his sides and ends like the
legs of trestle. A horse may get
along if he is little loose in front,
but any weakness behind units him
for draft purposes. An open gait be-
hind is often desirable in trotter, but
a draft horse must travel with his legs
under him, rather than spraddled.
The hind legs are the fulcrum upon
which the power and the load must
rest in heavy draft horses, and it is i'm
portant that they be in the best posi-
ton of correct formation. A deep
well-sprung rib makes room for large,
healthy vital organs. A large, sound
middle, with full flank. denotes good
feeding qualities, while being well
ribbed denotes an easy keeper. A
short, strong back and long, heavy
muscular quarters are elements Of
strength as we'll as Of beauty.-St
Louis Republic.

best way to fasten the sides to the
crosspiece is to bore a hole through

and to the end piece, as shown. The
edrcs of this, also, should be wired.
Spouts with "cut offs" for drawing
small grains, ground feed, etc., from

common about corn-cribs. Fig. 2 rep

This special sort of preserve might

Yell-meaning men who believe in the

their best preservation. The following
method, if carefully adhered to, never
fails to give satisfactory results;
In the first place, wives are fruit

appearance, which will result in the
agreeable surprise Of tasting better

That they may be kept thoroughly

back of the stove in which must be used

take OF submitting the fruit to q
varied temperature, as it is apt to i'm

Throw into the loving cup now and

Two Sides of Sheep Raising

Sheep raising affords a profit aside
from the wool produced. But many
farmers seem totally blind to this fact.
They do not seem to consider that the
sheep is a mutton producer as well as
wool producer, and that mutton has a
good cash value. Time will come when
there will be growers for both mutton
and wool, each specializing. This is
true to-day to some extent. There are
special wool and distinct mutton types,
though good many sheep raisers seek
a breed combining both qualities. How
ever, either type is valuable for more
than its one special product-wool or
mutton, and in order to secure the larg-
estproft from sheep breeding attention
should be given the mutton considera-
tions.-Farmers' Voice.

ESSENTIALS OF THE TOILET,
AIGrettes and other Decorations OF
the HaIr-Latest Things In
TOqnes.

One very distinctive feature OF
evening dress is the decoration of the
hair, and fashjonably dressed head
IS absolutely essential to the success
of any evening toilet, no matter how
simple the gown may be. The old
DAYS, when the locks were twisted into
q simple knot, have passed away, aud
we have reached a happy medium be-
tween the high, outlandish headdress
and the quaint simplicity so unbecom-
ing to most women. An evening Golf
fure is not complete without some
decoration besides the curling and
putting of the hair. Aigrettes, both
ieweled and plain, are a prominent
Part of hair ornamentation, and then
there are all sorts of fanciful wings
and butterflies sparkling with span
giles. One very uncanny design Is
bat with wings of jet and steel and a
body of steel sequins. Pretty dragon
fes made of gauze and hand painted
are charming in the hair, and then
there are little silver gauze horns
spotted with rhinestones. Flowers
and outstanding bows of velvet ribbon
wired in aigrette form are very much
worn, and wired lace bows, both black
and white, are very pretty. There are
come variations in the mode of doing
ND the hair, but the full, round POM
Dadour still prevails. Some of the
latest modes show a suggestion OF
parting; yet they are pompadour in eff
feet, and softened little by some lit
tie curis on either side of the fore
head. A parting at one side and the
hair drawn down on the forehead is
another pretty mode, very becoming
in some faces. Curls are worn IN the
back. and the little jeweled pin so
commonly used to confine the short
locks is very much in evidence. The
golden rule for becoming style OF
dressing the hair is to choose the one
that is individually becoming, and not
change with every passing fancy.

Of mirror velvet. trimmed with muslin
flowers, are feature of millinery
Poses are the special kind, and the
smaller sizes are much used, wreath

Long coats of velvet, half-htting

one Of the specialties in winter gar

Natural Soda Water Founruin.


A short time ago a number OF work.
men engaged in boring for water near
Niederman, in Wurtemberg, suddenly
came upon a powerful carbonic acid
spring. The hole was being cut through
blue clay, in a width Of "a feet, and
lower down of ~ inches. The stream
did not come out in full power all at
once, but it suddenly increased so much
that the men thought best to retire
as quickly as they could, leaving their
tools to take care of themselves. The
fountain rose to height of so feet with
a roar. Even the next day nobody could
approach close, as the atmosphere was
fully charged with carbonic acid. 2
few men who ventured too near had to
be rescued by their companions, be-
ing overpowered by the suffocating
gas. For several days the power OF
the well did not diminish. The ma
chinery and appliances for catching the
acid cannot be fixed in a hurry, when
the eruption is at it's best, and often
the first experiments do not repay,
because the fountain becomes exhaust
ed or the gases find another outlet.

He ratified at the door of 426, but it
was locked and no sound of clicking
tvpewriters came from within. He
paced nervously up and down the COR
ridors for at least Is minutes and then
he questioned the elevator man.
The elevator man had not seen Mr..
Blevins that morning. He said it was
possible he might be out at lunch. Dr.
Dienich thought 50, too, and went out
and sought refreshment himself. In
half an hour he came back and found
the office door still locked. He waited
half an hour longer and then sought the
agent of the building. The agent in
formed him that Mr.. Blevins had en-
gagged suite 1926 two days before to open
a pewriter-exchange business and
had paid ten dollars as a deposit until
he could get the lease made out. He
seemed interested in DR.. Dienich's di-
lemma, and, taking down pass key
descended to 426 and opened it. The
room echoed holloway to their footsteps
and their voices. 1t was empty. There
was not a typewriter, not a desk, not
so much as a scrap of paper left.
Subsequent investigation proved that
the Phix-U company had never received
any mail. Also that the newspaper clip
pings had never been clipped from
newspapers. 1t was found that the
company had advertised for competent
stenographers and typewriters, and
one of the girls was found. She said
that she had been Informed that there
would be a competitive trial of speed
and that she was set to transcribe loose
sheets of "The House of the Seven
Gables" At the close of the day she
was told that-she would be notified 10y

One of the elevator men had seen the
typewritcrs taken away and had helped
to load the desks and tables into the
freight elevator. Mr. Blevins being
present, he had considered that il
would be all right. Dr.. Dienich and the
police found out a lot of things Ike

IMITATION BUTTER
r,crv Pound Of 1t Should Have
Stamped on 1t the ingredients
&C which 1t Is Composed.

The bealthfulness Of Oleomargarine
is q question that is constantly being
considered. The difficulty of properly
answering the question is increased by
the fact that the o!eomargarine OF to-
dav is not necessarily the oieomargar-
inc of tomorrow, and the oieomargar-
inc that is turned out by one factory
is not the same as that turned out by
another. Chemists have now discov-
cred that some oleomargarine contains
parafiin, TO give it firmer composition.
Parafin by itself is indigestible. and 1t
may also be indigestible when incor-
porated with the fats that compose
oleomargarine, but we are not yet GER
tain of that point, for the reason
that no one appears to have Investigate
ed what paraffin will do in such COM
birat;on. 1t may be less harmful than
by itself or it may be more harmful.
1t may be that the union of paratiin
with fat permits some of it to get
though the tissues with the fat, and
there it may work all kinds of mis-
chief-or it may not. However, people
do not care to take their chances on
such uncertainties. 1t is manifestly
the duty of the government to ascer-
tain such facts for the people. If par

at least know what effect it will have

When DR.. Dienich entered room 426
he thought he must have made a mis-
take. Five or six young women were
seated before as many desks, gathering
away on typewriters at a tremendous
rate. Two others were apparently sort

long table, while a boy read addresses
from long slip to sharp-featured

called them back to the boy in high

was a scene of more than ordinary
business activity, and DR.. DieLich, look
ing thereon and concluding that no

ment was likely to have snap, was
about TO back out, when the sharp
featured man broke off in the middle
of an address, and with winning smile
asked what he could do for him.
