Nuestro ganado mejora

Mucho ha sido el ganado que, por
orden de Mr. Schirmer Veterinario de
la Junta Superior de Sanidad, Sc ha sa-
|cri6cado en- Puerto Rico. Agunas per.
sonas han quedado en- la miseria con
este motive. Cada vista de inspection
que Mr.. Schirmer hac1a costaba la vi
da buen nt1mero de animales.
Suponemos que esta matanza Sc ha :
ria en- cumplimiento de las leyes de
Sanidad.
Afortunadamente, de algun tempo q
esta parte, va no ocurre semejante coss
en- vlrtud a que los duefios de ganados
han tenido la feliz idea de ponerlos ba-
10 la inspection del Veterinario Mum :
cipal Sr. Bermejo mediante una Quota
mensual que satisfacen tftulo de
iguala. Y es claro esta vigilancia fa-
cultativa les asegura un buen estado
sanitario en- el ganado
No por este deja Mr.. Schirmer de
practicar la correspondence inspection
y segt1n tenemos entendido ha encon-
trado siempre acertadas medidas de
policfa sanitaria tomadas por su COM
pafiero. Asf era de esperar.
Seguramente que en- los 1ugares no
abonados la cosa no andara muy AUS
tada a las leyes de sanidad; pero sabe-
mos que tales sitios SOD rnirados, y con
raz6n, como sospechosos y en- ellos Sc
hace una inspection cuidadosa y dete-
nida; por fortuna pocos establos son los
que no han aceptado ell nuevo sistema
pues hasta los que pada mas tienen dos
6 tres parejas de caballos no han tent
do mas remedio que reconocer los be-
nefcio que reporta ell auXilio de la
ciencia.
Como ell sistema es nuevo en- Puerto
Rico, pues exceptos ell de barberia,
ning1n otro servicio Sc ha prestado por
abonos 6 igualas mensuales, los esprit
tus maliciosos, que nunca faltan, 10 ven
con estrafieza pero ESQ NADIA significa
en- contra de la bondad del Sistema.
Segt1n tenemos entendido la cantidad
mensual Que Sc paga por Ia iguala es
subida aunque esta en- relacion con el
n1mero del ganado, pero algo benefi-
cioso habran visto los interesados GUAM
do la aceptsn.
81 el amor a lis animales demuestra
sana educacion de los sentimientos
NADIA tenemos que envidiar en- este SEN
lido a ningt1n pals del mundo La So
ciedad protectora de los animales ests
demas en- Puerto Rico. IQue frncio.
nes tendra que llenar en- t1n pals donde
la gentes Sc curan con remedies case
ros y no Sc recurre al medico, sino en-
casos extremes, mientras que los ami
males tienen facultativo en- casa2
La principal ventaja que tiene Ia
nueva practica es la inspection cons

una garantia para la salud p1blica J
alin para la misma Junta Superior ds

far the winter has been ideal and the
losses comparatively nothing. It ia
not likely that the remainder Of the
winter season will bring forth storms
Of sufficient duration to do any con-
siderable damage; so that spring will
find the sheep man with his herd prac-
tically intact and in good condition.
The mild winter has also permitted
him to save feed which may be kept
for a stormy day In the future. Aus
tralia, the principal competitor of the
United States In the sheep raising In
dustry, has suffered a terrible drouth
during the past three years which
has almost totally annihilated the
business In that land. With wool
ranging from 16 to 20 cents and q fair
mutton market, prosperity is sure to
be the hand maiden Of the Montana
sheep man for the next year; and as
all other industries sand callings cannot
but feel the favorable influence Of an
upward tendency In the wool growing
business, the horoscope OF Montana
certainly appears to Ne in the ascen-

Friday, Jan. 16,


At the close of the session today
both houses had adjourned until Mon
day to give committees an opportuni-
ty for some much needed work, busi-
ness being much retarded. The SEN
ate Is well In advance of the house,
but still has little to show for the first
two weeks of the session. The house
vainly endeavored to pass an appro-
priation bill for payment of the men,
bers, but as 1t had not been printed
another postponement was necessary.
Arthur Wright received very nice
appointment at the hands of the house
today, being elected assistant to chief
clerk Godfrey. His duties will be that
of bill clerk, having charge of all the
bills.
Senator Albright introduced a bill
making it misdemeanor to carry off
or destroy timber or any lumber from
other peoples premises without hav-
ing obtained permission. 1t also pro.
hibits the posting of bills or notices on
certain property or in any way inter.
fering with other peoples property
maliciously.
In the house Representative King
yesterday introduced a bill amend.
ing the law regarding free county
highschools and today one relating to
the state board of horticulture. Other
bills introduced in the house were the
following:
BY Gilman, relating to the safekeep-
ing Of funds by county treasurers.
BY Tolman. providing a penalty for
dogging stock.
BY Siles, authorizing county com.
missioners to provide public scale al
railway stations.
BY Landstrum, FIVE bills amending
the school laws. One relating to the
city school superintendent, another to
county superintendents, another to
qualifications Of the members of the
state board Of education, another
amends the county institute law, and
another provides for the appointment
Of a deputy state superintendent o.
public instruction.

members and expenses of the session
and received a big batch of com.
mittee reports. Measures reported for
indefinite postponement and upon
which the report was adopted were as
follows: Amending the law relating
to the deputies in the office of the dis.
trict court, court clerks and sheriffs
office and creating the place Of chief

for appeals from county board of ap-
praisers; requiring the transfers of
personal property in writing; regulat.
ing the sale of goods in bulk; making

In each house a number Of new bills
were introduced.

Monday, Jan. 19.

In committee Of lhe whole the SEN

bills: McLean's bill for the appoint
ment of a supreme court commission;
Meyers bills making the education OF
the deaf and blind children compul-
sorry. changing the name Of the deaf
and blind asylum to the school for
deaf and blind, authorizing an anual
census of the deaf, blind and feeble
minded, changing the time Of filing an.

Woman suffrage received a body
blow and complete knockout In the
senate today. when the committee to
which Senate Bill No. / had been re-
ferred, reported in favor of irdeini.e
postponement and the motion 10 adopt
the report was adopted. The vote was
a tie ~ to ~. but Lieut.. Gov. Higgins
cast the deciding vote against the
measure and 1t went-to the pigeon
hole marked Dead" Senator Waite
voted in favor of the bill.
An effort to get more clerks oc-
cupied the attention of the house for
some time and finally a committee Of
five was appointed to report upon the
number necessary. They reported in
favor Of giving four committees sepa-
rate clerks and that six clerks be
elected to serve other committees by
groups. Bills previously introduced
were promptly referred and eleven
new ones added. One by Mahon

Thursday. Jan. is.

The senate reconsidered its hasty
action of yesterday in uncerimonious-
ly killing the woman suffrage bill and
revived it to give opportunity for the
women to be heard. January 2Sth the
judiciary committee of each house will
hold joint session for that purpose.
There is absolutely no hope, however,
of its passage. the action today being
more in the nature of a Jolly" than
anything else.
Senator Maddox today introduced a
voluminous fellow servant bill, a mat.
ter to which both parties are pledged.
Among bills introduced in the house
was the one by Hilger reducing the
tax for sheep inspector and detective
fund from one-half to one-quarter of
mill. Dempster would prohibit black.
listing. Axteel to incorporate the
eight hour law In the constitution and
Bray to submit all applications for
municipal franchises to a popular
vote.

threats of destruction to the latters

some of them having come a long
distance in order to testify. Just as
Oscar Stephens, the complaining wit.

was sure to be bound over to the dis
trict court anyway. Whether the ar.

House Passes Senate Bill with Amend
ments Which Must Be Adjusted
In Conference.

Washington, Jan. l7.-At the end of
a struggle which prolonged the days
session until after o'clock the house
passed the substitute for the senate
bill to establish a commissioner of la.
Dor and a department of commerce.
The vote stood 1877 to 40. All the Re

the bill. In committee Of the whole
the Democrats and sprinkling Of Re

mentary strategy Mr.. Hepburn ire
publican) OF Iowa. chairman Of the
interstate commerce committee
sought to have this provision restored
but the opposition stood fast and he
was overcome. The Democrats then
attempted to recommit the bill with
instructions to report back a separate
bill for the creation Of a department

manded the support OF two Democrats.
The only other substantial amend
ment was one to authorize the presl.
dent to transfer the interstate COM

DOCKING BUCK WOOL.
Hedges Bros. Refused Buyers Offer
and Profited Thereby.

Montana sheepmen who usually sell
their wool clips in the local markets
have been very much dissatisfied with
the rules of sale" insisted upon by
eastern buyers. but there has been no
organized effort to resent some of the
alleged impositlons. Among the latter
is the custom Of docking at onehalf
the weight of buck feeces-by which
this class OF wool Is bought at one
half the price paid for the bulk clip
and most Of the sheepmen look upon
this feature of the trade as graft
to which they should not submit. They
hold that in most cases the buck wool
is worth as much as other kinds, and
that the buyers profit handsomely by
making the deduction Of so per cent.
According to information that
reaches the River Press, the conten-
ton of these sheepmen is well found
ed During the wool season of last
year the 90,0OO-pound clip Of Hedges
Bros, OF Chinook. was offered for sale
on the Great Falls market, samples Of
eve, wether and buck wool being SUBJ
mitted TO the representatives OF sew
eral eastern firms. Bids we're made up
on the clip. with the usual reservation
that the buck wool should be reckoned
at one-half its actual weight but all
offers were refused by the owners and
the clip consigned on commission to
Justice, Bateman & Co.. OF Phila-
delphIa.
We are informed upon what Is be-
lieyed to be good authority Hedges
Bros. have recently received returns
upon the consignment, that are highly
satisfactory. The eve and wether
wool netted about 17a cents, while
the buck. sold at its full weight,
brought 1sla cents. The latter part
of the clip came from an outfit OF the
Cunningham bucks purchased in this
city in the fall Of 1901.

nation took the form of a belief that
someone was trying to poison her
and she would allow no one to tuch
her food. Both, Drs. Attix and vii.
son, testified that the woman was un.
doubtedly mentally unbalanced. The
court therefore declared her of un.
sound mind and dangerous to be at
alrge and ordered the sheriff to com.
NIT her to the insane asylum at
Warm Springs. Mrs. Stanich was at
one time sent to the asylum from Great

JACOB NEWMAN 10 DEAD
Well Known Character About Town
Passes Away at County Farm,

Jacob Newman, one Of the best
known characters about the city OF
Lewistown, was buried in the city
cemetery Monday afternoon.
He was taken sick Saturday morn.
ing and removed to the county farm,
where his condition grew rapidly
worse. Late that night an operation
was performed, but the system of the
patient was so enfeebled from alcohol.
ism that he was unable to survive the
shock and died at o'clock Sunday
morning.
"Old Jake" as he was known to
every man, woman and child, at all
acquainted in this city, has been a
familiar figure on the streets OF Lew
istown for about three years. For
the past eight month he mas been en-
ployed around the drug store of Nc.
Kechnie G. Allan doing odd chores and
errands.
1t is said that he has brother in
the mercantile business in Patterson,
New Jersey. and letter has been
written to the postmaster at that
place to ascertain IL such is true.
In almost every town and small city
there is a character who Is the butt OF
practical jokers, the constant victim
OF the wag and pun maker. Since
coming here old Jake has filled that
position in Lewistown. Addicted to
some of the vices OF man there yet
beat under the rough exterior OF the
man heart OF good will towards his
fellow creatures.
Few lives are lived in vain and there
are left behind not few people who
will most willingly enshroud with tn,
mantle OF charity and forgetfulnesi
the shortcomings OF the dead mar
while holding in respectful remem
brance his commendable attributes
AS he died utterly without means
he would have been buried in the pot
ter's field had not several citizens sub
scribed money sufficient to purchas,

appear very encouraging % those who

work, and when both houses adjourned

But today the members rolled up their
sleeves and went to work, the senate
