be stated, however, that witnesses
testified that, among the things
taken to the ranch of Arney's
brother, were the following: Flour
groceries of all kinds, meats
chickens. live and dressed, hogs
portable forge, all sorts of black
smith and carpenter tools, chains,
! harness. the product Of fifteen days
work by the prison carpenters, in
Guiding tool chest, china closet,
grindstone frame, etc, and great
variety OF other things commonly
used on q farm. Furthermore, the
wagons and buggies of Harry Ar
ney were repaired at the prison
and his horses were shod there.
In other words, Warden Arney
used the state property and the
prisoners to keep the farm up to
sucha high state of perfection that
it sold recently for a large sum.
The committee also went into
the case of Mrs. Josie Kensler, the
sad-faced woman convict, whose
life term has been rendered the
the more intolerable by the remorse
that follows confession that she al
lowed herself to be debased by a
prison official under the roof that
was supposed to protect her from
the advances of beasts, and that,
after having told the truth about
criminal operation on her that re-
suited from her prostitution, she
was induced by prison officials to
perjure herself to protect them on
the promise that she would be par
doned. These things-these facts

GOATS INSTEAD OF cows.
People Of Malta Depend Entirely on
Goats for Their Milk sunpIy.

r
People Of Malta Depend Entirely on
Goats for Their Milk supply.
The population Of the island Of
Malta, situated in the MediterrShean
sea, amounting to some zoo. 900 souls
derives its entire milk supply from
the goat herds that abound in that
little speck Of rock. It il estimated
that there are about 20 900 goats on
the island. There are NO regular graz
ing fields for goats. but every morning
the herds are driven out along the
roads and hillsides. where they pick
up whatever they can fnd In the way
Of weeds or any other edible matter,
which, however, seldom includes grass.
This is supplemented by carob beans
when the herd is driven back to shell
ter at night.
How the Maltese goat can give the
quantity and quality of milk which It
does upon this food is q matter Of fire.
Quent conjecture and 1t Is out of the
question to get anything but thin and
watery milk from COWS under the same
conditions. An average goat produces
four and one-half pints of milk per
day and the animals cost from SO to
$25 each. No special effort seems to
be made by the natives to preserve
strains, but, nevertheless. the Maltese
goat manages to keep up its reputa-
tion for looks and prOductiveness.

TO SUPPORT CUBAN BILL.
Decision of the Democratic Caucus
Saturday Night.

At the caucus of the democrats of the
House of Representatives Saturday night
to determine their policy upon the Cuban
reciprocity bill it was decided to oppose
the adoption of the special rule, and, failing
to defeat 1t and being prevented from offer
ing amendments, to vote for the passage OF
the bill "as a step in the direction of freer
and more untrammeled trade relations be-
tween Cuba and the United States"
The democrats from Louisiana, Texas and
California vigorously opposed the attitude
taken by their colleagues in favor of the
ultimate passage of the bill. Cane sugar
and beet sugar industries in the states men
toned 1t was claimed, would be hurt by
the admission Of Cuban sugar at a lower
rate of duty.
After representatives from California,
Texas and Louisiana had spoken, and after
an appeal for party harmony by the minor
ity leader Mr.. Williams, the following reso-
luton was adopted by vote of 95 to 10:
Resolved, That it is the sense of the
caucus that the minority floor leader be in
structed to offer to the Cuban reciprocity
bill, and to secure an aye and no vote there
on if possible the following amendment:
Strike from the bill the following lam
guage, beginning In line 10. page 2 and
ending in line 2, page 3: Provided that
while said convention is in force sugar
being the product of the soil or industry
of the republic of Cuba, shall be admitted
into. the United States at a reduction of
duty greater than 20 per centum of the
rates of duty. thereon provided by the
tariff act of the United States approved
July "a, 1897 and no sugar the product of
any other foreign country shall be admitted
by treaty or convention into the United
States while this convention is in force at
lower rate of duty than that provided by
the tariff act of the United States approved
July "a, 1897 and insert the following in
lieu thereof:
That upon the making of the said
agreement and the issuance of said proc
lamation. and while said agreement Shall
remain in force, there shall be levied, col
lected and paid in lieu of the duties there
on provided by law, on all sugars above
No. 16, Dutch standard in color, and on all
sugar which has gone through process of
refining, imported into the United States l
cent and S23-1.OO of / per cent per pound
Resolved, further, That upon the adop-
ton or rejection OF this amendment by the
House it is the sense of this caucus that the
democratic members of the House should
vote for the bill, as step in the direction
of freer and more untrammeled trade be-
tween the United States and the republic of
Cuba.
Resolved, Furthermore, That it is the
sense of this caucus that if rule shall be
brought into the House from the committee
on rules shutting off amendments it is the
duty of the democratic membership of the
House to vote unanimously against the
rule"
