As to Estruys.

IN view OF the general desire for in

stock, and returning it to its lawful
owners, the following suggestions bv

of attention.
An estray is defined in the range

commercial value, found WANDERING

unknown. No individual has the right

the animal is lost from its owner.
Our code provides that nIf ,nv

animal from drowning or from starv-

OF ten dollars or more he must inform
the owner thereof, if known, and make
restitution without compensation fur

II the owner of the animal is not known
the de,ainer must go before the Justice
OF the peace within five days and
make affidavit to all of the facts: an
praisers are appointed, and the Justice
hles copy of the appraisment with
the county clerk. If the property is
worth over $1,000 the finder must also
have description of the property pub

time, the property vests in the detainer.
Or If the owner appears, he must nav
all reasonable charges. And the
code further provides that if the above
procedure is not substantially followed
the detainer of such property is liable
IN damages to the owner in twice the
value of the property found; or if the
detainer appropriates the property to

Apparently taking their cues from

Secretary Hitchcock says:
1.-The remaining public lands are

other large land owners, state and
nation cooperating to accomplish

There need be no fear of competition of
western producers with eastern az.
riculture, since the Asiatic markets
now open will absorb the surplus Of
the western farms. The character Of
these is also such that the staple crons
OF the East cannot now go to the remote
West, nor those of the West come east.

Hon. David Meekison is we'll known,
not only in his own State, but through
out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor Of the town in which
he lives during which time he became
widely known as the founder of the
Meekison Bank of Napoleon, Ohio. He
was elected to the Fifty-tifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the
acknowledged leader of his party in his
section Of the State.
Only one flaw marred the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
man. Catarrh with it's insidious APP
proach and tenacious grasp, was his
only unconQuered foe. For thirty years
he waged unsuccessful warfare against
this personal enemy. At last Pe-ru-na
came to the rescue, and he dictated the
following letter to III. Hartman as the
result:
II have used several bottles of Peru
ma and feel greatly benefited thereby
from my catarrh Of the head. feel en-
couraged to believe that If l use it a
short time longer will be able to fully
eradicate the disease of thirty years
standing. Yours truly,
"DAVID MEEKISON."
Many people can tolerate slight ca
tarrhal affections. A little hoarseness,
slight cough, a cold in the head, or a
trifing arrangement of the digestive
organs do not much disturb the aver
age person in his business. But this is
not true of the public speaker or stage
artist. His voice must always be clear.
