To Cattle Shippers.

Cattle that have been on grass
should always be put in a dry lot
and fed only oats and hay for few
days before shipping. This simple
precaution will then prevent con-
siderable loss as the cattle Will
then come on the market without
the Objectionable appearance that
marks them as grassy and soft and
causes serious discrimination in
price. They will also shrink less en-
route which is another important
factor. 1t is attention to little
matters Of this kind which mark:
the careful, successful shipper and
puts dollars into his pocket.

SPECIAL LAWS KILLED
CONFUSION IN OHIO CREATED By
THE STATE SUPREME COURT.
CIeveIand's Federal Plan of Govern
ment and the Toledo Police Act
Declared to Be Invalid.

COLUMBUS, O.. June 26.-An extra ses-
sion of the Ohio Legislature now seems
certain. The Supreme Court during the
present week has held a number of i'm
portant laws 10 be invalid.
Decisions handed down to-day held the
Cleveland city government TO be uncon-
stitutionaI. and also a special law enacted
for the city of Toledo taking the control
of the police out Of the hands OF Mayor
Jones. The court in the Trauger case di-
rects Governor Nash to appoint Ieuten-
ant governor Lieutenant Governor Nip
pert was appointed probate judge of Ham
ilton county and President Pro Tenn
Archer. of the Senate. supposed to
succeed to the lieutenant governorship.
The contention of Trauger that a vacancy
exists in the office is sustained. The court
sustained the validity of the Roger act
which limits the jurisdiction Of the Su-
preme Court to a certain class of cases and
takes away 95 per cent of its jurisdiction
in appeal cases.
On Tuesday the court held special salary
laws for county officers to be unconsti-
tutional, so that now things in the cities
named, as well as in forty-two of the
lightweight counties, are left in a chaotic
state. Ii is the opinion of the state Off
cials that an extra session of the Legis-
lature will have to be called to straighten
ont these matters.

CLEVELAND, o., June 26-Mayor John

sence Director of Law Beacon is the act
ing mayor. When asked what would be
the effect of the Supreme Courts decision
declaring the federal plan of government
Cunder which this city is governed) uncon-
stitutional, Mr.. Beacon said that there
would be no effect felt until October when
the mandate of the court would become
effective. AS a result of the decision there
will be a general upheaval Of officials In
the city's government. The directors of
law, public works, fire, police and chari-
ties will be removed from office, and as a
result possibly the numerous clerks IN
their respective departments. The federal
plan law is unusual in that 1t centralizes
all responsibility in the mayor. who is held
to account for the faithful performance of
duty. The law was attacked on the ground
that ii was special legislation. Until the
Supreme Courts decision becomes effective
the federal plan will continue in opera
can see no way out of the tangle caused by
the courts decision than a special session
of the Legislature and the passage of a
municipal code bin. The city of Cleveland
is the first TO adopt the federal plan which
was first instituted IN the spring of 1891
No other city in the State is governed un-
der the federal plan, the enactment being
such that it applied only TO this city
