Roosevelt and the Cabinet.

Roosevelt and the Cabinet.
The action of President Roosevelt in
retaining entire the cabinet Of Mr.. Nc
Kinley will occasion considerable sur
prise. 1t is very decidedly at variance
with the policy of his predecessors un-
der similar circumstances.
In the case of President Tyler's &C.
cession to power upon the death of Gen.
Harrison there were the most impera-
tive reasons for change in the cabi-
net. The nomination of Mr.. Tyler for
Vice President was made to placate an
element which was not satisfied with
the nomination of Harrison. Thus the
two members of the wing ticket repre-
sented different factions and principles.
Harrison's cabinet was naturally Sc
lected from among his own following
and was necessarily unfriendly toward
the Vice President. Upon the Invita-
tion of Mr.. Tyler, however, the men,
bers of Harrison's cabinet consented to
remain during Tyler's administration,
and for time 1t seemed that the wing
party would be spared the dissensions
which ultimately disrupted the organl-
cation. In four months the Illusion
was dispelled when the President and
the cabinet found themselves unable to
agree upon the bank measure. After

A recent experiment demonstrated

the sun shone freely. Then number

these aids.

The following features should always
be looked for in selecting an animal for
the dairy: The skin should be thin and
elastic to the touch, covered with fine
hair If the skin hangs tioght to the
body, 1t shows, as rule, poor quality
in the animal, although it sometimes in
dicates that the animal is in poor condi-
ton physically. Standing directly back
of the COW, the hind legs should come to
the ground showing considerable space
between the hooks. The thighs of the
dairy cows should be thin and not
feshy. The back should be broad and
level, with considerable depth of rib,
and q large body, which shows capacity
for extensive feeding. The dairy COW
is invariably longer in body than the
beef type, has more space between the
ribs. and greater space from hip to
rib. The neck is longer and thinner
and the head leaner. 1t has been con-
sidered that an animal showing vel
low skin under its hair is Invariably
good dairy COW. This however, is be-
lieved to be a mistake, for 1t has been
repeatedly noticed that some animals
having this characteristic are far from
good dairy cows. 1t is also true that
many large-bodied COWS are selected
mainly because of this characteristic,
and turn out to be enormous feeders
but poor mixers.

room of his home near Fort Dodge
while the sheriff was waiting in front
with warrant for his arrest. The war
rant accused Fallon of murderous us

from his place at the point of revolver.
The affair is the elimination of II series
of events which originated in the sale of
Fallon's old homestead to Charles Dona-
hue in 1897. Immediately after giving
the contract Fallon repented his bargain,
saying he desired to spend his remaining
years on the farm. Suit was then insti-
tuted to dispossess him, but he fought the
action. Despite his efforts the State SUI
prene Court affirmed the lower courts
decision and ordered Fallon dispossessed.
He announced that he would never leave
the place alive.

1t is generally admitted that the best
time for feeding bees. when it is neces-
sary to give them full supply for win.
ter, is before cold weather sets in. The
hives should be carefully examined
now, and If there seems to be scarcity
Of food, feeding should be begun at
once. 1t is easy to make some sort Of
a vessel ready for feeding, but 1t will
cost only trife to buy n feeder, which
will be much better. The best winter
food for bees is slrup made by stirring
granulated sugar in water, using equal
parts Of each and stirring until the
sugar is dissolved. The feeder should
be filled with this sirup and places in
the hives at night, the idea being not to
attract the bees from the fields during

HILLS CROP VIEWS.
Northern Pacific Railway Pres
fdent Talks Hopefully.

New York. July 16.-President James
J. Hill of the Great Northern railway
before leaving for St. Paul, discussed
the reports of crop damage in the west
He said:
Internationally some damage has
been done to the corn crop by reason
of the drOuth, but, like everything else,
this damage has been exaggerated. The
damage, 50 far as can see, lies in that
portion of the country west Of a line
drawn from St Louis to Omaha. and
much of it can be repaired by good
rains. It should be remembered, too,
that as an offset there has been a Won
derful wheat harvest particularly IN
Kansas. The matter hardly resolves
itself into a railroad one for the reason
that the railroads have, and the indi-
cations are, viii have plenty to do even
should it develop that the corn crop
is short. However. as have said
there is ample time yet for much of the
damage TO be overcome"
On the same subject President Lowry
of the AIinnea polls, St Paul & Sault Ste
Marie telegraphs from the west as fol-
lows:
up to the present time prospects for
crops We're never better. I make this
statement from a personal inspection
Of a few days ago in Minnesota and
North and South Dakota and from
daily reports received from all the
points along the line of our road, also
from talking with various grain men
in Minneapolis, who are thoroughly
posted on the subject"

England Up in Arms Over Censorship
Of Transvaal News

New York. July 16.-The last has not
been heard of military censorship in
England, notwithstanding Lord Kitch-
ener's blunt kilograms, according to the
London correspondent Of the Tribune.
While the Boer commanders. the dis
patch says, may be so demoralized and
scattered that neither Generals Botha
nor Dewet can put an end to atrocities
such as the massacre of the wounded if
their attention be called to them, the
public has a right to know what is go
ing on, especially when the pro Beers
on the continent and in England are
charging the British army with con-
Quoting an fnhumane campaign. This
is the opinion Of the English press,
which has united in cOndemning the
military arrangements for keeping the
country in ignorance of the real nature
of the warfare now in progress
Details of Gen -French's combined at
tack upon Schepers stronghold are still
meagre, but the results were evidently
not so complete as had been expected
from the employment of a series of col
umns working toward q common goal.
The main force escaped and General
French will need to set another trap.
Reports that a large body Of British
infantry will be sent home and that the
railway between Johannesburg and
Durham will be the only one occupied
tary men, This would involve the prac-
tical abandonment of the line between
Bloemfontein and johannesburg. which
would be regarded by the Beers as a
British retreat and a confession OF fail

Aliens message. to the Porto Rican
assembly, July 4. when that body pass
ed a resolution asking President Me-
KinIey to declare free trade between
Porto Rico and the United States as
the revenues derived from internal
sources, exclusive of customs. had
proved sufficient to meet the islands
financial needs, it was shown that the
expenses Of the government as author
lied by the legislature for the fiscal
year beginning July 1. 1901, amounted
to $1s976s s802-21, of which amount the
most considerable allotments were as
follows:
InsuIar police s2O4, $50; board of pris-
on control $110, 1921; board of public
works $356s942; board of charities $104,-
495. Judiciary of Porto Rico $3.50. $50; a
careful study OF the financial situation
warrants the belief that there will be
raised from the three sources, namely,
property tax, excise tax and customs
duties on imports from countries 9TH
er than the United States, the sum of
over two million dollars. This would
provide an excess of estimate receipts
over expenditures.
The governor pointed out that of
that of the two million dollar refund
ing act" there still remains probably
not less than 100000 to the credit of
Porto Rico, which could be used in case
of emergency, and which makes the
condition of the insular territory still
more secure.

Peruna restores health in a normal

Peruna puts right all the mucous
membranes of the body. and in this
way restores the functions of every
organ.
If it is the stomach that is out of or

runa quickly makes things right by re-
storing the mucous membranes of the
stomach.
The pelvic organs are also lined with
mucous membrane which in the female
sex is especially liable to arrangements.
