MAKES TWO HITS.
Clague Developing as
Leader on his Side of the House.


Leader on his Side of the House.
Representative Clague of this
county has had occasion tomake two
grand stand plays in the House dur
I ing the past two or three weeks,
and on both occasions has he come
out victorious, and demonstrated
that he might become a leader on
his side of the house.
The first effort was when the Ny
quist bill. providing for the APP
pOintment of one boiler inspector
for each senatorial district, came up
for consideration in committee of
the whole. This bill proposes to do
away with the present system of
boiler inspectors. calling for one in
spector from each congressional dis
trict, making seven inspectors at
the present time, the legislature two
years ago having failed to provide
for inspectors for the new congress
sional districts. The Nyquist bill
was a popular one for the reason
that it provided for whole lot more
of appointments, and consequently
the care of more friends 1t was
opposed by members who were
friends bf the present inspectors,
and when Mr.. Clague spoke in favor
of the bill his remarks'were greeted
with hearty applause from all over
the house. He declared that the
present inspection was farce, for
the reason that the deputy inspec-
tors were obliged to turn over two
thirds of their fees to the district
inspector, and as result there was
nothing left for the deputies. He
pointed to the prosecution of T.
j. Laing, the deputy inspector for
Redwood county, for having charged
an extortionate fee in connection
with an inspection, and inasmuch
as Mr.. Clague had conducted the
prosecution he could speak with
effect on the subject of the wrong of
the district inspector taking the
two thirds fee. This experience.
carefully related, brought down
tie house, and led to the almost
unanimous recommendation of the
bill, which passed the house on
Tuesday of last week. The bill has
yet to pass the senate, and if it does
it remains to be seen whether it is
wise to invest a governor with this
additional political machinery,
which certainly will be powerful.
Redwood and Brown counties will
have to fight over the appointment
for the 18th senatorial district also.

members of the committee present
being in favor of an indefinite post

the honse until the Monday after

DEFEND PUBLIC HEALTH
County Attorney and Board Of Health
Make Three Quite Important
Arrests.
The Charge is Selling Meat that is Unfit
for Human Food, = Altman
Pleads Guilty.

The board of health of this city,
in conjunction with County Attor-
ney Howard, took action last Fl j.
day that is bound to have salutary
effect. Information was filed with
the county attorney that COW that
had been hurt by a fall on the ice
on Feb. 10th. and had been unable
to walk since that time. had been
purchased at local meat market
and offered for sale The animal in
question belonged to the1 herd Ct
cows on the Shaver farm, and tt e
matter was brought to the attention
of the authorities by "a neigh Dor, ].
j. Tiffany. who witnessed the
Strengthening and as a measure of
Identification, had marked the
tongue of the animal. By the ad-
vice OF the county attorney, f. A.
Gray went to the Mill street mar
ket, found the markell tongue for
sale, and bought it. With this evil
dence in his possession the county
attorney had Mr.. Martie and his as
sistant brought into the municipal
court Friday morning, on the charge
of Offering for sale for human food.
meat which was diseased. Mr..
| Martie asserted that it had been
| represented to him that the animal
hal been hurt only few days te-
fore it was slaughtered. that his
man had sold the tongue without
his knowledge, and that none of the
rest of the carcass had been sold.
The case was adjourned until after
noon as the accused had not en-
ployed an attorney. When the
cases came up in the afternoon, the
case was dismissed against Mr..
Martie, on his stipulation to paw
the costs, while his assistant, Peter
Altman, plead guilty and was fined
$50 and costs.
Following this settlement. Fay
Shaver, who sold the animal in
question, was arrested and tried
Saturday morning. S. L. Pierce
appeared as his attorney and Sc
cured a jury trial. The testimony
taken went to. show that Shaver
sold the COW to Martie s man Peter
for Sc, it being understood that the
carcass would be worth at least that
much for the hide, tallow and dog
meat. The jury decided that there
was no evidence of criminal iptent
on the part of Mr.. Shaver and rem
dered their verdict accordingly.
The result of these arrests is
sure to make both butchers and
farmers extremely careful for some
time to come Mr. Martie asseres
that he had no knowledge that the
animal was unfit for Strengthening,
as his man told him that the COW
was eating hay just before being
killed, and the accident by which it
was hurt happened only a few days.
before. He denies that he has been
guilty of any intentional wrong, and
says that he expects to remain here
and prove his good intentions to his
patrons.

. Poetry has perhaps no place in the
exact sciences, partly because exact
ness is Incompatible with poetic license.
partly because of the unalterable tend
yency of the poet TO get things wrong.
A curious example of this was noticed
In lecture at the Camera club by Mr..
Duncan on cuttlefishes. The modern
cuttlefish is a descendant of the fossil
belemnite, but the Only descendant of
the coeval ammonite is the paper nau-
titus. Better known Is the Portuguese

titus is sometimes confused and which
is really allied with the belemnite

external. it is not really so. The poets
Pope, Byron and James Montgomery
all easily fell into the error, and Pope's
well known lines in the Essay on
