The Board Of Aldermen to Investigate
the Hospital Controversy.
Formal Charges to be Preferred-City
Preparing to Enact Necessary
Laws.
MAYOR HAS MORE EVIDENCE

It is probable that there will be no
committee investigation of the city
hospital controversy mentioned in the
last council meeting, when it was al
legged that patient or two had died
in the hospital because of carelessness.
Mayor Yeiser is of the opinion that
the Investigation will have to be held
after formal charges have been pre-
ferred and will have to take place be-
fore the aldermsnic board. He bases
his opinion on the following charter
provision:
Executive, judicial and ministerial
officers Of the city, unless otherwise
herein provided, shall be removable by
the board of aldermen, sitting as a
court under oath or affirmation, upon
charges preferred by the mayor or
any two members of the board of ooun-
cilmen," etc.
As a result of the above, any inves-
tigation by a committee of the allega-
lions made in regard to the hospital
trouble would be superhuous, and
there will be none until formal charges
are preferred.
1t is understood that in order to get
the matter before the general council
and thoroughly sift it to the bottom,
formal charges will be preferred
against the hospital steward at the
next meeting, by two councilmen.
The board of aldermen, sitting as q
court. will then have to make a
thorough investigation, and a two
thirds vote can suspend or discharge,
Mayor Yeiser intends today to write
a number Of letters to other places in
regard to laws and rules and regula-
tions governing various city depart
ments. In passing into the second
class it is necessary to make a number
of important changes in our city
laws, and the mayor deems it best to
make these changes after thoroughly
investigating the laws ana regulations
Of other places, then to select what is
best and embody it into law. This
will be done in case of the police
board. The rules adopted by other
boards will be sent for today and when
they arrive, what is desired by the
local board will be selected and adopt
ed. and what is not will be rejected.
In this way the best will be obtained
without having to contend with the
worst.
The same principle will be applied
in other cases, and many Of the laws
in force in other second class cities
will be prepared for passage here.

Thursday evening Mir. J. Faulds, whose arrival from Copete is noted elsewhere, returned to Carbo, en route to the mining camp men toned, where he is in the store of the Belene Copper Company, whose properties adjoin the Copete prop critics. He reports the Belene com panp making handsome showing in the development work in their mines. The Copete is still shut down, pending difficulties in the company.
 Douglas International; l. Cloud, general manager of the Transvaal Copper Mining Company, was in town Sunday evening. Mir Cloud had just returned from a trip of inspection to the mines and was on his way home to Cincinnati, Ohio. The company is composed of Gin cinnasi and Charleston, West Vir- ginia, people. The property is situated about thirty-five miles west of Cumpas, Sonora. The com pany has a very valuable property, and as soon as the Nacozari rail- road is extended into that region it is the intention of the company to erect a large reduction plant. Development work Is being vigor- ously prosecuted. A large amount of machinery has been ordered for the mine, and some of 1t has already passed through Douglas.

A Royal TaIisman.

For 400 years the Hohenzollern fam
lily has possessed a peculiar talisman
in the shape of a black stone set in a
ring, each head of the house having
passed the charm on to the next in sue
cession for many generations. Fred
erick the Great is said to have found
the ring sealed in a package with in
structions as to its preservation and
transmission written by Frederick l.
Precisely what value or significance
attaches to this carefully treasured bit
of iewelry it would be difficult to say.
Tradition says that huge toad hoped
into the royal presence centuries ago
with the stone held in its mouth. AS
to whether the golden setting in which
the stone is now preserved is due to
the forethought of the intelligent toad
or to the afterthought of the Hohen-
zollerns tradition fails to enlighten us.

The solid Hoofed Hog.

There are some solid hoofed hogs in
the world, but they are few and far
between. Darwin has a great deal to
say about such pigs in his Origin of
Species" as there were only three in
England at the time he wrote this
book.
The solid hoofed hog is not a freak
of nature, as many suppose, but gen
uine case of reversion to a primitive
or ancestral type. 1t seems that, I'M
like the prehistoric ancestor of the
modern horse, which has four toes or
hoOfs, the old elOtherium, from which
animal all members of the swine fam
lily are descended, had a solid hoOf,
and in the course of ages, as the old
parent form died out and the modern
Wild boer, domestic hog, peccary, etc,
were evolved this solid hoof became
through what Darwin calls "adapta-
ton" and natural selection" divided
up into two parts, so that all modern
hogs are clOven hOofed. Occasionally,
however, a hog is born with the old
original solid hoof of the primitive hog
ancestor, thus demonstrating the tend
ency in all animals to revert now and
then to the parent form.

1t is related of General Wade Hamp-

ing along highway that led through
one of his numerous southern planta-
lions when he met a slave of fine build
and appearance. He drew rein and

you belong to-" "Wade Hampton, sir"
:Ah! And who is Wade Hampton|
please, sir, master, you mus be from
de norf, 'kase Mas Wade Hampton is

The story used to be told to illustrate
the greatness in numbers of Wade
Hamptons slaves. His own slaves did
not know him by sight-that is, hun
dreds and thousands of them did not.
The slaves he owned numbered 1000,
and he was therefore the largest slave

is best that he never be shed. In the
first place the horses hoof is delicate
piece of mechanism, which should not
be tempered with by any one who does
not understand it and not then without
very good reason. Horseshoeing is a
trade in Itself and one that is not
learned in a day, but there are country
blacksmiths who could not be con-
WINGED that they did not know all
about the subject, although they could
not give you the first idea about the
structure of the horses foot. These
are the men who will slap redhot
shoe on a horses foot and let it burn
until it levels off the bottom of the
foot and renders the hoof brittle and
likely to break off. They are also the
men who interfere with natures ar
engagements by trimming off the inside
of the foot, thus laying the foundation
for a bad foot. The farmer who is so
situated as to be compelled to have his
horses shod would do well to go CON
siderably farther to have his work
done by good sheer rather than have
his horses hOOfs butchered up by an
incompetent bungler.

GLOVE POINTERS.
How to Put Them on and the Best
Kind to Buy.

Kind to Buy.
The way in which a glove is first
drawn on and shaped to the hands
has much to do with both its beauty
and dura billty, says the San Francisco
Examiner Unless you have ample
time do not have them fitted at the
shop, but at leisure draw them on as
here recommended, and if possible
wear them half an hour without clos
ing the fingers.
When the hands are at all moist,
they should be powdered. Insert all
the fingers and work them on evenly
leaving the thumb loose until the Tin
gers are fully in place. Then insert
the thumb and work the glove down
smoothly over the hand.
In buttOning a glove the greatest
strain comes upon the first button, so
before attempting to fasten this but
ton the others, commencing with the
second one, then the others, lastly the
first.
Do not begin at the tips of the fin
gers to pull them off. Turn back the
wrists and draw them off inside out
but on no consideration leave them i'll
this shape or roll them. Turn them
right side out, smooth lengthWise ana
put away by themselves, with strip
of flannel under and between them.
In buying gloves there are more i'm
| portant questions than their color
and the number of buttons to be con-
sidered Black gloves are generally
less elastic than white or colored ones
and cheap grades are dear at any
| price.
Dressed kid usually retains it's fresh
ness longer and is more durable than
suede. The best and most serviceable
kid is soft yielding and elastic y
glove so small that it cramps the hands
and prevents grace of motion gives
poor service. Short fingered gloves are
ugly and certain to break soon between
the fingers, if not at their tips.

The Devons of Sleepy Hollow.
In England Devon cattle are bred
like Red Polls, for beef and milk both,
and English breeders keep in the mid
die of the road pretty well. In this
country some breeders have gone to
one side or the other. AS to the merits
of Devon cattle for beef, milk and
draft purposes there is no controversy.
They are especially well fitted for some
sections. And as to the enterprise of
the Devon fraternity as a whole there
is no controversy either; they don't
have any. No breeder or association
of breeders who fails to make use of
modern mediums for pushing his bust
ness can expand it. The Devon will
never be more popular than it is now
SO long as it's breeders continue their
present course. Sleepy Hollow is a
pleasant place, no doubt, but it's no
place for a business man or associa-

The Ayrshire.
The tests at the Pan-American and
other expositions have shown the abil-
ity of the Ayrshire to produce 5000
pounds or more of milk in a year, con-
tanning about per cent of butter fat,
or about 300 pounds of butter in a
year, and the cost of feed at Buffalo
was but $4.24 per 1000 pounds of milk
against $4.1S per 1000 for Holstein
and over SIS for Shorthorn, Jersey and
Guernsey. But it is as a milk COW that
she excels. We do not know that the
proportion of solids in her milk is
greater than in other breeds, but we
think it must be. We do know that

would rise the skimmilk from the Ayr

Nail Punctures.

We are frequently asked the best
treatment to pursue for nail wounds in
the foot of a horse, says an exchange.
When the nail has been removed, follow
the puncture through the sole or frog
to the soft tissues, then fill the cavity
with a solution made of equal parts of
gum camphor and carbolic acid and
pack with cotton. This treatment
should be repeated daily until recovery
is complete. Where this treatment is
promptly and properly carried out nail

result in abscess and suppuratiOn
Where abscess of the foot has occurred
remove all loose horn and dress with
cotton saturated with the solution
given. The cotton should be held in
place by bandage around the foot.

Dumas Wealth and Poverty.

Alexandra Dumas rise to wealth and
luxury was almost as marvellous as
that of his most celebrated hero. He
built a magnificent chateau, which he
named Monte-ChristO. There he enter
tanned all Corners, friend and stranger
alike, with more than oriental magnif-
cence and sometimes with oriental
mystery. His purse was open to all
who sought it. and the day came when
he experienced Timons fate without
acquiring Timon's disposition. He
could not become a misanthrope,
though his fortune disappeared almost
as suddenly as it came and then he
learned the ingratitude Of men. His
last days were passed not in poverty,
but in narrow circumstances. He left
Paris in the fall of 1870 just, as the
German army was closing in to besiege
it and when France was feeling its
deepest woe. To the last he preserved
his gayety and youthful spirit. 81 had

The value put on skimmilk by farmers
differs very much. At some creamerles
to avoid trouble a slight charge is made
for the skimmilk and a corresponding
ly higher price is paid for the butter
The usual charge for slIimmilk is
from to 10 cents per 100 pounds. In
many cases | noticed farmers take
back only a fraction of their share of
the skimmilk, while a few enterpris-
ing ones would buy all the surplus and
think they had quite a bargain. Why
this difference of opinion among feed
ers? asks L. W. Lightly in National
Stockman. Why is it that some men
having calves and pigs to feed cannot
pay to 10 cents per 100 pounds for
skimmilk when such eminent and sue
cessful feeders and eXperimenters as
Mr.. Gurler of Illinois or Professor
Henry of Wisconsin place the value
per 100 pounds at half as much as
bushel Of corn sells for if fed in
proper condition and in the right COM
binatiOn of hogs? At some creameries
the skimmilk is run into a slop tank
ruins the milk for feeding purposes.
In many cases the farmer has a swill
barrel into which he empties his skim
milk and there it degenerateS very
rapidly. 1t is never better and it's feed
ing value is never greater than i'm
mediately after it leaves the separator
in a sweet and clean condition.
The Cows Digestive Organs.
The digestive apparatus of the COW
is something to carefully consider when
buying COW or when breeding. The
powerful digestive system is needed in
the dairy that the most may be made
out of the feed. The large eater is the
COW that makes the most money for
her owner. Some cows have digestive
systems of such weakness that they
are easily foundered. They go "Off
feed" at every opportunity, and their
milk yield is decreased in consequence,
says Dairy and Creamery. On the
other hand, there are COWS that can
eat any amount and never be disturbed
by it. The writer once had such COW.
One night she got loose and found her
way to the feed bins and boxes. She
proceeded to fill up in the most com
plete manner. In the morning she
met her owner at the door She was
evidently packed as full of cornmeal
and middlings as she could be, with
nothing but breathing room left. A
foundered COW was the expected result
of the feasting. The animal, however,
experienced no Inconvenience from the
gorging and the next day was ready
for her accustomed ration. She was a
large producer of very rich milk.
Hardy Canadian Breeds.
Farmers in northern climates are in
terested in hardy breeds or dairy cat
tie. The growth in dairying calls for
COW adapted to the somewhat rigor-
Gus conditions of countries as distant
as northwest Canada. Why not look
up the merits of the French Canadian
cattle? They are small, rugged, Injured
