BEAL LAW UPHELD
BY JUDGE MNElLL
Delhi Saloon Keeper Lost Suit in
the Probate Court.

Judge McNeill, OF the Insolvency
Court, decided yesterday that the Beal
local option law is constitutional, fol-
lowing the recent decision of the Cir
cult Court OF Guernsey county to the
same effect. William Kumpf, q saloon
keeper Of Delhi, sued to knock out the
election at Delhi under the Beal law
whereby the village went "dry." He
claimed the law unconstitutional and
the election illegal. Judge McNeill
heard the case, in the absence OF Judge
Nippert, of the Probate Court, and sus.
tanned the law and the election in
every particular. Kumpf took excep-
tions to the decision, which will proba
bly, be taken to the Supreme Court
Cincinnati Commercial Tribune.

Dean Hoffman was noted for char
liable impulses. which his large income
allowed him to indulge in Some years
ago the dean invested heavily in land
In a small southern town which was
then enjoying a loom" period. Among
the deans other investments was q
beautiful little hotel, exquisitely ap-
pointed and perfect in every detail
After awhile the boom" fell through,
and the little hotel became a losing in
vestment
At this time the chancellor of the
University of the South. an old friend
Of Dean Hoffman. was on a hunting
trip with him in the mountains OF
North Carolina.

The chancellor was greatly pleased
and made all the arrangements to
move the hotel. when. to his astonish-
ment, the citizens of the town obtained
an injunction against its removal on
the grounds that the hotel in a way
was public property and that to re-

WILL CHEAPEN MEATS.
Invention for Feeding Live Stock
Will Cut the Table Expenses.

BY an invention OF John Hammer, q
Chicagoan, the whole practice Of feed
ing live stock, particularly cattle for
beef, is likely to be revolutionized, ac-
cording to the claim OF the inventor
and those associated with him.
The invention OF Hammer consists Of
a large case made Of galvanized iron
and about three and a half feet wide
and deep and five feet high. This case
contains a number Of shallow drawers,
in which corn can be placed, in layers
about three inches deep.
All around the outside OF the case,
on the top and four sides, is layer Of
common wood moss, such rs grows In
the woods everywhere. This moss is
about three inches thick and IL COM
pressed by wire netting. so that IL forms
practically a sponge, capable Of absorb
ing q large amount Of water. The corn
Is placed in the drawers and water
poured into the moss. Almost i'm
medistely Q process OF sprouting be-
gins that in three or four days converts
the hard grain into mass Of tender
young shoots fed by the softened pulp.
IL Is then ready for feeding, and Is
taken out Of the drawers, fresh corn be-
ing substituted and the process OF
sprouting repeated.
BY this invention the best kind of
beef Is produced. II Is firm, yet ten
der, and the fat is distributed through
out the lean, in mottled form, instead
OF being all together. In the ordinary
feeding OF corn TO stock not more than
half OF the grain is assimilated,
whereas by the new method every bit
OF 1t is made tender and digestible.
The cost OF the invention Is so low
that farmers, who will be the principal
users of it. can save the cost of the
case in q single year, and IL will last
for fifteen or twenty years. Once q
year, the moss has to be replaced. The
rest OF the material needed TO sproui
the corn is merely water. The grain
is sprouting doubles its weight, be.
sides becoming soft and nourishing.
Cattle eat it greedily, and fAtten very
quickly npon it. For horses 1t is also
as excellent thing; also of great value
for swine and poultry, in fact for al
farm animals that costume corn. The
invention is so simple that 1t Is q won
der that no one ever thought of it be
fore.

The Ohio Experiment Station warns
tomato growers TO be on the alert for

Gardeners and truckers are also
warned to begin spraying for the downy
mildew OF muskmelons and cucumbers,

spraying for this disease was not re-

THE MICROBE AND BERRY.
The Trouble Is That Decayed Fruit
Is Eaten.

Editor of the Morning News:
Through the medium of your valuable
paper 1 take the liberty of expressing
some comon sence remarks relative to
an article in your issue of the six
tenth. Headed disease in Early
fruit" In this progressive age science
Is making wonderful strides, but we
must look back in the past century and
note the number of families who have
tillid the soil and enjayed the fruits
and vegetables OF their labor. fresh
from the fields, and the scientest will
find a strong and healthy people
with rarely a case of stomach trouble.
With due consideration to any of the
medical profession that have eX-
pressed themselves in regard to the
disease germs and microbes that inflict
the luscious berries and early vege-
tables l think if they had given this
important subject some thought their
expressions would have been entirely
different 1t does not require d sc1en-
fist to post US on ordinary subjects.
Now, if these worthy medicine men
would go to our market and note the
condition of some of the berries and
all kinds of vegetables that are dis
played for sale they would find that
science would not be necessary to pick
out very large proportion that should
be condemned and hauled off by our
garbage wagons. Just as soon as
fruits and vegetables commence to de-
cay.
the microbe develops rapidly, and the
deadly germs are taken in the stom-
ach eating such fruits and vegetables.
l have noticed berries and peas offered
for sale that were not fit to feed we'll
raised pigs on. No one has higher
appreciation of the development of
science than have when properly ap-
piled and expressed. A. 3. c.

BOXERS SOON TO ARRIVE.
FeItE to Meet the winner of the st.
Clair-AIIen Bout.

The Savannah Athletic Club yester-
day received kilograms from both Kid
st. Clair of st. Louis and Kid Allen
of New York, who state that they will
start for Savannah tomorrow. They
will take part in a bout which will be
held this week. The exact date has
not yet been settled.
Allen fought Feltz before the Broad
way Athletic Club. about three years
ago and, though Feltz finally won, in
the seventh round. it was only after
he had received a punching from his
adversary that has given each a
wholesome regard for the other ever
since. Feltz is in Boston, where he is
scheduled to meet Young German May
20. Immediately after this bout he will
start for Savannah. where he will. in
a short time. meet the winner of the
ST. Clair-Allen bout.
