RETURN OF MIR. J. c. ADAMS
Brought Back no Jerseys but Vision
 of Agricultural Prosperity.

Hon. John C. Adams returned yes terday morning from a cattle buying trip on which he set out exactly two weeks ago this morning. MT. Adams IS a fancier of cattle of the Jersey kind and less than a year ago he imported a large number to stock his ranch. one of the best in the Salt River valley The more Jersey cattle Mir. Adams had the more he wanted. He brought back none, for ne found none that met his notion It was reported when he went away that he intended to go to Wash ington, D. C., which within the last two months has grown into a great cattle market and mining center. He did not, however, go so far. He said he had received advices from Arizona that as q cattle and mining center Washington had been greatly overrated and that many who had gone there had been obliged to obtain permits from MT. F. II. Hartman and MT. J. r. Morgan to walk back over their right of way observing the condition that they must sidetrack for regular passenger ami extra freight trains.
 Offerings of mining stock and de- mands for Jersey cattle. MT. Adams said, had been understood to be pro fuse but he had been informed that actual trading had not yet assumei that stage of activity known as t state of eruption. It was, in other words. latent.
 So Mir. Adams went no farther on his cattle quest than to Rock Rapids. Iowa. after which he ran down to Joliet. H.. without an attending officer armed with a commitment. Though his visit did not result in Jersey cattle. Mir Adams said his trip was repaid by the vision of prosperity he saw wherever ne went among the farmers in Iowa and Illinois He met farmers on trains and in towns. They told him they had made more money in the lass four years than they had made in their previous existence. Four years ago they thought they were doing well if they could meet the interest on their mortgages and encounter a pair of overalls now and then. Now their mortgages are paid off. they are wearing soft clothes. and those who have not invested their surplus money in land have it in bank. In the neiGhborhood of Rock Rapids the value of land has doubled since the last democratic administration.

RECORDERS EAGLE EYE.
He Looks Clear Into the Hearts of
 Bold, Bad Boys.

It is a question sometimes whether the odd characters brought before Re corder Jobs occasionally are more of a study than the court itself. for in his own way Mir. Jobs is unique.
 When he gets a person before him of whose guilt or intended wrong doing there is a doubt, his method of insert ing the judicial pump and the activity with which he works it later on are cer- tainly interesting and entertaining to the disinterested part of the audience. MT. Jobs is an educated lawyer, and since he got on q bench where he i9 both lawyer and judge he has acquired an art in asking questions that would put an experienced detective to blush
 Some months ago he had a Mexican before him who claimed to make his home in Florence when he was not drunk in Phoenix. He said he Hvei with q relative there, and the recorder was so determined to find out bottom facts in the case that he asked the accused whether or not his relatives had paid for the house he lived in.
 A few days ago MT. Jobs had num- Der of Phoenix boys before him. charged with beating their way into the Doris theater. The boys ranged from II to 19 years old, and their story was that the largest boy had found an open window and crawled in and the others, on his invitation, had followed him, though the others all had 10 cents each with which to buy a ticket. The leader was dealt with as kindly as pos Sible under the circumstances and then the court placed the others upoD~ the rack. Looking at the smallest one, he asked him if he had ever been in jail before. The boy said he had not. Then, with q look of great severity and an eX- precision that suggested outraged jus tice. he demanded: Why not?" The little fellow said he didn't know, bus he looked as though he had been con vinced himself that he ought to be hanged and began weeping because he had not been. Asked about his money, the judge was informed that a nickel mad been spent. so he proceeded to de- liver a lecture on childish eXtrava gance. Then the court in some similar manner made the rest of the boys feel as though they were already arrayed in prison stripes. He forced an admission from them that if their fond mammas ever found out their present predicament there would be no more joy in their respective households till the boys could each grow a new skin. This was just what he wanted to find out, and when he had the weeps coming all along the line and fully con vinced himself that the boys had re- ceived a proper sort of warning he be gan playing both ends against the middle in his good natureu way and had each one laughing at the others.
 They were all sent home finally. be- lieying they had narrowly escaped the gallows, and each promising to be q perfect model hereafter.

thority than Mr.. Augustus Healy is
quoted as threatening the arrest by the
police of any Catholic who in future
ventures to ask an institute lecturer if
all his statements are quite correct!
Now, then, sir, am moved to ask:
First-Is it going to be the policy of
your administration to allow ignorant
or malicious attacks on the religion of
one-third of the people of Brooklyn to
be made by your lecturers?
Second-lf so, do you propose to de-
ny to Catholics the right to have their
opportunity of presenting their side?
Third-And, lastly, does Mr.. Healy's
brutal threat voice the sentiment of
any other than his own bigotcd and ig-
norant self? Is this official?
You will see that explicit replies will
very much clear up the situation. The
religious question ought not to enter
into the great work of the institute Mt
all. Catholics will give you increasing
and loyal support, but you must not
allow these anti-Catholic slurs and at
tacks unless you permit an equal op-
portunity for the presentation of the
other side.

are harmless. Puff adders are sup

both plentiful and obnoxious, and after
rain they may be looked for with some
success in beds and valises. Cent?

of biting, as have mosquitoes and flies.

"Of the big game, or rather the

MANY IN FAVOR
OF SINGLE TAX
John Emmeluth Says That the

! Single takers had an inning Saturday
evening and the admirers of Henry

atoned for by the brilliancy of the argu-
ments advanced Repartee marked the
