A decision has been rendered
in the Ottawa courts, which, if
followed in other counties will
prohibit a justice of the peace
from acting as collecting agent.
In the past, justices have acted
as agents to collect bad accounts.
1t justice didn't get the money
for the bill about the second time
he presented it, he would bring
suit in his own court against the
man who owed the account, rem
der judgment against him and
tn en- garnishee his wages. The
Ottawa courts have held that this
is contrary to law; that a justice
of the peace cannot try case in
volving an account which he has
attempted to collect as an agent.
If this decision becomes the rule,
justices of the peace will be de-
priyed of a lucrative branch of
their business.

which the Senate favored Schley

One of the most important
measures passed by the last leg
islature was one authorizing
counties to give an absolute deed
to property sold for taxes after
three years. The bill provides
that where property has been
sold for taxes three years the
county may go into the district
court and enforce its lien in the
same manner asa mortgage. The
property shall be foreclosed, and
sold by the sheriff to the highest
bidder to satisfy the claim. The
deed given to the property shall
be absolute and be conclusive ev-
idence of the proceedings prior
to the date of the filing of the
same for record. It is intended
to force the collection of taxes
and prevent people from allow
ing their property to be sold for
taxes and then some years after
wards come in and compromise
the taxes and invalidate the deed
if one has been given. 1t is be-
lieved that the law will result in
great benefit to the counties and
that persons owning property
will be more careful about keep
ing the taxes paid up.-Iola Reg
lister.

There is no argument more
convincing than one whose prem
ises are supported by dollars and
cents, and the following account
of an experim ent at the Iowa
Agricultural college clearly DEM
onstrates the difference in cash
returns of what may be expected
from feeding an animal of the
most improved and best type,
such as a Hereford, and in feed
ing a scrub, While in this incl
dent the two extremes, perhaps,
are used, the result is not an I'M
usual one:
"a Hereford steer made again
of 2.O3 pounds per day under
feed, and was sold at "a months,
weighing 1922 pounds. A high
grade Jersey steer fed underlike
COIlulllOIlS was SOlu dl % i1OhlhS,
weighing 1900 pounds, and for
the 9 months fed made a gain of
two pounds per day. Theamount
of feed given each of the animals
was practically the same, and the
feed-lot results were practically
equal. The gain in weight de-
Ponds solely upon digestion, and
the digestion of the unimproved
steer or scrub may. be just as
good or even better than the high
1y improved breeds. There is
no reason that the latter should
give greater returns for the feed.
But when these steers were mar
keted there was a great differ
ence. The comparison was by
an altogether different standard.
The Jersey sold at S2.15H cents
below the top of the market and
the Hereford for 10 cents above,
making a difference of SIPS u
per hundred pounds. In the sale
of the two types the Hereford
netted 67H per cent of beef and
the Jersey 5714 per cent, the beef
type having 10 per cent more
beef. When the carcasses were
hung up that of the Jersey weigh
ed 1853 pounds, with 100 pounds
of internal tallow and SIS pounds
of suet, while the Hereford car
cass weighed S88 pounds, with
95 pounds of internal tallow and
SO POUNDS of suet, the per cents
of these as compared with the
carcass being respectively 32.1
and IS, the proportion of tallow
and suet in the Jersey being more
than twice as much as in the
Hereford. A great point was in
the gain of the choice cuts in the
beef type-the power of these
animals to make the kind of prod
uct the market demands-instead
of the Jersey putting the gain in
tallow while there was not enough
flesh on the back to decently GOV.
err the bones, The market re-
turns from the Hereford carcass
were 40 per cent more than from
the Jersey carcass. The talloW
price was 4 cents while that OF
the highest cuts was 10 cents. ,

The following dispatches appear,
ed in Sundays Kansas City Times,
relative to the Liberal party who
started the week before for the gold
fields of Alaska:
Seattle, Wash, June I.-GeoIge
Mulligan of Liberal, Kan, president
of the Eagle City Mining and Elk
ploration company, told the police
of this city a thrilling story last
night of being assaulted by footpads
and robbed of $4,000 in money
which was hidden in his breast.
Although his shirt was slit by the
alleged robbers, his skin was not
marked. If the scuffle had occurred
where he claims it did, Mulligan
would have rolled into an excava-
ton. A. P. Langheim, who was
with Mulligan almost up to the time
of the alleged holdup, tells story
which would prove Mulligan's story
of his Tenderloin trip very innacu-
rate.
Later-Chief of Police Meredith
has found $4,000 of the alleged
stolen money in the lining of Multi
gan's overcoat. Mulligan claims he
was playing joke on his men.

Liberal, Kans., June I.-George
Mulligan left here last Saturday with
a company of thirty-four young men
bound for the Klondike gold fields
He was president of the Eagle City
Placer Mining company, made up
of Liberal men, and the money he
claimed to have lost was principally
that paid him by the men in the
company. Each man before leav-
ing here paid Mulligan 5000 for
which he was to furnish all expenses
to Eagle City and provisions for one
year. The men signed contracts for
five years service, or until the four
mines controlled by him should be
worked out.
Mulligan is young man of ex-
cellent reputation. He returned
from the Klondike six months ago
and formed this company among
men well known to him. Last Sat-
urday the party left here and were
given public farewell demonstra-
ton. Some of the men we're cow
boys and cattlemen and some of
them sold their ranches and cattle
to obtain means with which to make
the venture. One man in the COM
pany had only been married four
days and left his bride here while
he sought his fortune afar.
Mulligan in unmarried, but has a
mother and three sisters here whom
he supports. The company expect
ed to buy their outfits of bedding
and clothes at Seattle and sail for
Alaska about Monday.
