JUDGE LOCHREN'S DECISION.

cCDGE LOCHHEN,S DECxSlON. ', =.
Minneapolis Tribune: The decision
of Judge Lochren against the State in
the merger case is real surprise. 1t
would have caused less surprise, had it
come before the circuit court decision
in the government case. There is no
connection between the two; but they
are associated in the public mind.
There is an impression, too, that the
State had better case than the gov
eminent. A decision against the United
States would have caused less astonish-
ment than this. The State law is plain,
and applies directly to railroads. The
federal law is doubtful, and was rarely
invoked against railroads before the
Trans-Missouri case, and then by a
majority of only one of the supreme
bench. We apprehend that this deci-
sion will provoke comparisons between
courts of law and courts of politics, not
unhattering to Judge Lochren.
There is sure to be apprehension also
of a distinct reaction in legal interpre-
tation, if not in public feeling, from
the extreme ground of the circuit
court. in advance of that many expect
the supreme court to show in it's review
of both cases. Judge Lochren's deci-
sion has all the lucidity of the trained
legal mind. He upholds the Minnesota
law against the consolidation of rail-
roads: but holds that it does not apply
to this case, because there has been no
consolidation. He traverses the ground
of the superior courts ruling in the
federal case far enough to reject the
principle that men must be punished
or restrained because they have the
opportunity to violate the law, though
they have not done so.
He holds that the constituent COM
panies have not violated the law, and
that the Northern Securities Company.
its incorporates, directors and officers
are as much beyond the reach of the
State or federal law as any individual
who CHANGED to own stock in two COM
peting lines. The power of common
stockholders is exhausted when they
have appointed separate boards of d.
rectors for the constituent companies
These separate boards of directors and
their officers are under jurisdiction Of
the State law. When they consolidate
the two railroads, the State law can
reach them; as.the federal law can
reach them when they commit acts in
restraint Of trade. This, we think, is
the spirit of the decision.
It ought to be said that this ruling is
vindication of all those who engaged
in this suit against the merger from a
sincere desire to test the application of
the State law, and to enforce it, if it
had been violated. 1t is rebuke only
to those who have sought to drag a
question of pure law into the arena of
personal politics, and to win cheap pop
ularity by pre-judging case before the
courts to excite popular passion and in
flame public feeling. Now that the
prejudice has abated and passion has
subsidized, most Of the people will be
able to distribute blame and praise
fairly among the public characters who
have figured in the case-so far as that
is called for before the final decision.

GROW MORE POTATOES.

An acre planted to potatoes will

as much food material, in the order
named, than when planted to wheat.
rye or peas. The German scientists
hold that about half the land under
cultivation should be devoted to the
growing of vegetable products, princi-
pally potatoes and sugar beets, and the
other half to grains, mostly wheat, rye,
barley and corn. In the production of
potatoes Germany is far in advance of
this country, the yield per acre being
from two to three times as great, and
the total product six times as great.
In addition to consuming an enor-
nous quantity of this vegetable as hui
mar food, the Germans use it for man
ufacturing purposes; alcohol, starch
and glucose being the principal prod
ucts. Nearly a hundred million gal
Ions of alcohol, used largely in the fac
tories, are produced every year from
potatoes in the Fatherland, while in
this country the industry has not been
born. In view of these facts, it would
seem that here is a vast field for de-
velopment, which the American farm
err has overlooked or neglected; a field
which even now, with but little care
and attention, yields an average return
or from $40 to $50 per acre.-Farmers'

The ~innkeepers in the countries on
the Rhine follow a practice which is
worth limiting to persons of the same
profession in this country. They give
their guests a carte, or piece of paper
measuring about 16 inches long and
four inches broad, and which folds to-
gether like a small map. This carte,
when folded, exhibits on the outside
a view of the hotel, also its name, and
the name of the keeper; OF expanding
it we find that the other parts consist
of lists of the principal curiosities or
public buildings which are worth Wis
iting in the town and its environs; and
along the whole inside we find a map
of the chief routes from the place.
Thus, the German hotel-keeper's carte
is a card of his house and 4 local guide,
all in one bit of paper, the expense of
which cannot be much greater than
that of a common bill of fare.-N. Y.

GROUND PLAN FOR HOG HOUSE.

GROUND PLAN FOR HOG HOUSE.
a floor space seven feet square; but for
a feeding floor they should have rather
more room, say, a floor space eight feet
square. 1t is a difficult matter to plan
out a satisfactory hoghouse for some
one else, when the surroundings are not
known or his plan or manner of growing
hogs. Every pen in a hoghouse should
have an outdoor yard connected with it,
for hogs cannot long be kept in close
confinement on a hard floor. Young
things will suffer much more quickly
with lameness than older animals. In
this place we will allow space for the
pigs about one-half that allowed for the
grown hogs. l will give the floor plan
and Mr.. P. can construct the kind of a
building that will suit him best from it.
He can make a one-story structure, shed
form, or else a two story, using the up
per story for a feed room. A small room
at the north end will be found convenient
for a well and for feed mixing purposes.
The plan Is IL by "a feet. In this latitude
l would make the long way north and
south; cut an alleyway three feet wide
off the west side! for the large hogs
sleeping room cut a space five by nine
feet off the north end. Then give thema
feeding room six by nine feet, connecting
with sleeping room by a door in the east
end of the partition.
This will leave a space nine by 10 feet
for the pigs, Give them a sleeping room
six by nine feet off the south end. This
leaves them a feeding space seven by
nine feet. In each case make the door
into the lot from the feeding room, but
close to the partition between the feed
ing and sleeping rooms. The lots can be
made as large as Mr.. P. wishes or has
land for.
This building will give much better
satisfaction if f1oored with cement,
which will cost little if any more than
a first class floor of lumber. This plan
will probably be as large as Mr.. P. will
want, Allowing as much space each. for
the pigs as for the larger hogs would
doubtless require a house larger than he
would care to build at first.-John M
Jamison, in N. Y. Tribune Farmer.

The Latest Riding Habit,

Riding habits are made according to
whether they are TO be worn in the
country or city. The chief difference is
the hat, the silk "tile" being used for
city riding. The new jackets for riding
are made as three-button getaways, the
tails being only long enough to reach
to the saddle. With this jacket, which
is in reality a coat, is worn a waistcoat,
which must, to bethoroughlyinfashion,
display the hunting pink. The waist
coats are made this season of a heavy
wooden stuff, a kind of tricot cloth,
which is of a somewhat mixed weave
and shows the hunting pink in decided
thread and lines. A standing collar has
the De Joinville tie. Green is still the
popular color for a riding habit, though
other colors are worn.-Boston Herald.

FIVE YEARS FOR
THOF. {. BARRETT
The Former Marshal of the ST. Louis
Court of Appeals Sentenced.
FIVE YEARS AND A HEAVY FINE
He Was Convicted in the Federal
Court mt ST. Louis, with Dolan
and Garrett, of Natural
izatiOn Frauds.

st. Louis, Dec. 6.-Thomas E. Bar
rett, former marshal of the st. Louis
court of appeals, was sentenced in the
United States district court, Saturday
morning, to five years in the peniten-
tiary, and fined $1,000. By his attor-
ney, Judge Krum, he at once appealed.
Barrett's sentence was the same as
that of John P. Dolan and Frank Gar
rett, his associates, who were convict
ed with him in the famous triple trial.
His sentence removes all doubt as to
the probability of his being tried on
other indictments found against him
by the federal grand jury.
Barrett, Dolan and Garrett were con
victed on two counts, "iding and abet-
ting" certain persons to have fraudu-
lent citizen certificates in their pos
session and aiding and abetting" those
persons to secure the papers.
Barrett, when sentence was passed,
was the same stole that he was all
through the trial. The passing of SEN
tence was dramatic only in that it was
totally lacking in dramatic incidents.
Barrett took his stand before the
judges bench, and did not finch when
he heard the sentence. Judge Adams
comments were to the point.
Barrett heard him out as calmly as
if the court were discussing the
weather prospects.
What I said at the time of the sem
tence of your two associates applies to
you, and there is no occasion to repeat
it, l will sentence you one one count
only, but will give you the maximum
penalty"
Barrett was then placed in the GUS
tody of the marshal. Later it was ar
ranged that the same bond $(20,000)
which was furnished at the time of
RarTett's conviction should be allowed
to stand. ii
Barrett was not kept in custody. He
returned to the court room and
watched the proceedings there with in
terest.' Later he passed out to the or
rider, where he conversed pleasantly
with friends. While he would not talk
of his sentence, he gave the impress
sion by his confident manner that he
has hope of a reversal when his case
goes to trial on appeal.

naturally it has since refused to run. He
took the timepiece to a jeweler, and the
following conversation ensued:
Here's my watch; can you fix it,"
whats the matter? Did you break the
spring."
"No; the spring broke the watch"
The man wondered, but proceeded to ex-
anime the injured article.
The spring is broken" he finally an
nounced.
"No wonder" said Arch; 81 dropped the
watch in it."

AN EVIL IN FOOD THE LAW
SHOULD REACH.

In reference to the use of alum bak-
ing powders Prof. Schweitzer, of the
State University of Missouri, says:
"The deleterious effects of alum and
the soluble salts of alumina upon the
human system, ever when used in
small quantities, are too well known
to need relating; their use in baking
powder Is dangerous, and should be re-
stricted."
The effects of the continuous use of
alum baking powders are thus summed
up in a medical publication
"Alum taken into the stomach re-
tards the digestion of the food.
at is an irritant which inflames and
irritates the stomach and intestinal ca
nal.
at is an astringent and tends to con
stipate the bowels, which interferes
with digestion.
= at renders the albumen Of the food
partially insoluble, and therefore takes
away from its nutritive value.
at is absorbed into the blood, which
1t tends to thicken and %coagulate. The
free flow of the blood through the or
gans of the heart is thus retarded.
"Its continued absorption into the
system causes some forms of nervous
prostrations and many of those affec-
lions of the nerves from which both
women and men suffer.
Fourteen grains Of alum have caused
the death of a child. Larger doses have
frequently resulted fatally in the case
of adults.

from it a daily supply is forwarded to
