The grand jury reported Wednesday
afternoon, after being in session eight
DAYS. Forty-one indictments were re-
turned, the greater number of which
have been made public. Several of
more sensational character have not
been given out for publication. Canton
saloonkeepers caught 1t hard for keep
ing open on Sunday, a score or more
of them having been indicted for this
offense. 1t is claimed that there is a
story of personal animosity back Of
these indictments.
An effort was made to have Audi
tor NJ. w. Oberlin indicted for not
charging the Dueber Bugle corps and
the Massillon Carnival show license
when he imposed a license upon the
Canton carnival. An effort was also
made by the same parties to have him
indicted for some irregularity in the
letting of the contract for the erection
of the women's cottage at the inflrm-
ary. but the evidence revealed the fact
that when the bids were opened, the
auditor was the one who called atten-
ton to the irregularity and protested
against it. When this was revealed
to the grand jury that body refused to
indict that official.
Witnesses were called in to try to
indict Justice John w. Splitter for
overcharging in his capacity as
justice of the peace. This
brought all the justices of the city in
for an investigation but the result
was that none of them were indicted

THE DISEASE OF BEES.
FOUL. Black and Picked Are Most to
Feared and should he stamped
Out Promptly.

1t has been said that bees are less
liable to disease than any other liv-
ing things. 1t is probably because the
older members of colony are con-
stantly giving away to younger ones.
Nothing but contagious disease can
do much harm where youthful and Wig
orous members are being added to the
family almost daily for q great part OF
the year, says the Farm, Stock and
Home. Therefore, if bees lack thrift,
start brood-rearing briskly, and If the
queen is at fault, substitute another.
Therefore, we have little to fear from
any disease that does not attack the
brood or young Matching bees. Luck
lily, we have but one such disease, foul
brood" The novice in bee-ke eping
need not be at loss to know foul brood
at sight. 1t has two features which
make it easily distinguishable from
"black brood" and picked BROOD"
which somewhat resemble it. Foul
brood always has an odor somewhat
resembling that of glue pot, and the
matter contained in the cells is always
ropy, will stretch like rubber and
snap in the middle.
or late years good deal has been
written about what, for better name,
has been termed "pickled BROOD" and
another disease of like nature has
gained considerable Roadway in many
apiaries in New York, which is at pres
ent termed ''black brood,r The dis
eases are not so well. understood as
yet as is foul brood. We are not pre-
pared to state positively whether these
diseases are contagious or not. For sew
eral years we had what appeared to be
picked brood in both of our yards,
some colonies had only few cells of
dead brood scattered here and there
with the cappings sunken down slight
ly, and little pin hole in most of
the diseased cells, and in some cases
it seemed as il the young bees matured
to the point of Matching and then died.
Ihey would cut their way partly out
of the cell, but seemed to lack the
strength to come clear out. All the
diseased matter was usually left in the
cells, as the bees seemed very unwilling
to clean them out. We were alarmed
when the disease first made its ap-
pearance, but soon decided that it was
not serious, for with one exception
the colonies affected showed up about
as swell as their healthy neighbors. The
excepted colony was seriously affected
for two seasons, and in the fall of 1899
had but few bees TO go into winter
quarters. They gave no surplus that
season, but had over 90 pounds of honey
for winter stores. They were put in
the cellar along with the others, and
died soon afterwards. leaving the
honey almost intact. We would inn
press upon the mind of every bee
keeper who reads this the necessity of
extreme care in handling all colonies
that have any disease in the least re-
sembling foul brood. The germs of
that dread disease are contained in the
honey. and are conveyed from one
hive to another by robber bees getting
a load of the diseased honey and feed
ing it to the larya in healthy colony.

LEGISLATION AGAINST TRUSTS.
Important Cases Upon which Con-
Ercss Has Passed and others
on the Way.

1t looks now as if congress might
enact important antitrust legislation
at this session. One important meas
ure has already passed both houses
and is now in conference committee
with every prospect Of becoming law
in short time. There is a provision
in the bill to create department
of commerce. which provides for a
bureau of corporations in that depart
ment. with commissioner in charge
who shall have power 10 require re-
ports from corporations engaged in
interstate commerce. to investigate
their organization and business meth
DDS, to compel testimony and to en-
force publicity This provision embod-
les the features Of one of the bills pre-
pared by Attorney General Knox,
which proposed to confer the power on
special committee which this provi-
sion confers on the commissioner Of
corporations. 1t Is part of the adj
ministration plan Of antitrust legis-
lation, says the indianapolis Journal.
Another part of the administration
plan, as embodied in bill drawn by
the attorney general. was to forbid
the giving or taking of railroad re-
bates, or the departing from published
rates by carrier through any device
whatever. and giving the courts civil
and criminal jurisdiction over the sub
ject. both to restrain such practices
n YN,,psSh fTL.s %
embodied in the Elkins bill, which
passed the senate.
a third measure suggested by the
attorney general was a bill to expe-
dite the hearing and determination OF
cases under the Sherman antitrust
law. Several important cases are now
pending in the courts, including the
Northern Securities case, the beef
trust case and the railroad Injunction
suits. II is important that these cases
should be heard and decided as soon
as possible. and the attorney general
suggested that the courts be directed,
upon the motion of the attorney gen.
eral, to advance such cases, and that
they might be appealed directly TO
the supreme court of the United States
without the delay of an intermediate
appeal to the circuit court of appeals.
All these provisions were embodied
in another bill introduced by Senator
Elkins, and passed by the senate. Thus
it will be seen that all of the sugges-
tions of the attorney general are well
advanced towards enactment. The one
embodied in the department of COM
merce act is sure to become law in
few days. and the other two, which
have just passed the senate win prob
ably pass the house. ~

AS A YOUTH.
Washington Did Many Things When
boy That Were worthy of
Grown Man.

The early age at which Washington
developed the tender passion has been
noticed. In fact, it was despair at the
Incorporating attitude of a certain
"Lowland Beauty" that he fled to the
domain of Lord Fairfax, afterwards
his patron. The noble gentleman had
left England and buried himself in
the wilderness on account of a disap-
pointed passion; perhaps George, who
was then coming Is, felt there might
be bond between two such wounded
hearts," at any rate, before he had
been many months under Fairfax's
eye, just as he was completing his six
teenth year, he set out on surveying
expedition. The Englishman's ground
included thousands of acres of the
most fertile country in the world, ex-
tending in wide strip from the sea
to the Alleghanies. 1t was no small
sign of confidence to allow youth to
lay out such country.
This position is merely a sample of
the many important places he held.
At 10 he was major of the Virginia
militia; at 81 he commanded an impor-
tant expedition to Du Quesne. Small
wonder is it that his first love came so
young.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

FOR SHIPPING POULTRY.

feathers. Whenever you use the coop
to ship birds to a customer, request
him 10 return the coop, and it will last
for several shipments. In building
the coop use good, sound and light ma
terial. For the ends and partition
use three-quarter-inch dressed pine,
and for the bottom, sides, Stats and
top use half-inch pine. Put the Stats
on with screws, and then it does not
make any difference which slat is taken
off to remove the birds. For single
birds build the coop 12 to IA inches
wide and 90 inches long and 20 to "a
inches high; for pair, 16 inches wide.
20 inches long; trios, 20 by 20. Double
coops with partitions should have two
separate Stats to remove so that the
birds can be taken out of the coop with
out any trouble. The top of coops
should be from four to six inches mar
rover than the bottom, says the Amer
lean Poultry Journal.

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHPLACE.
Du< Small Monument Marks the
Spot Mt Wakefield Farm on
the Potomac.

Mount Vernon has become a great
mecca for the American tourist; at
Yorktown and Valley Forge stand
stately reminders of the First Gen.
tleman of America, while in every
part of the land the smallest memen'
toes of his life and actions are reli-
giously preseryed; but in magnificent
decay on the lower Potomac lies
Wakefield Farm, which was associ-
ated with his early life. A simple
granite shaft marks the spot where
George Washington was born, and n
few bricks and stones are all that
remain of his early home.
The old country mansion was
burned early in the last century, but
the brick chimney, within whose arch
four people could sit, and the corner
stones, with a portion of the founda-
ton, were saved. Shortly before the
civil war the historic farm passed
into the hands of a family which at
first showed some appreciation for
its associations. A succeeding gen.
Grafton, however, tore down the
chimney and the remnant of the
walls in order to secure the bricks.
A marble slab bearing an inscription
giving the date of Washington's birth
and other information, which had
been set into the great arch, was
removed to the old family grave
yard: but in placing it beneath two
ancient fig trees planted by the moth
err of Washington, 1t was broken. and
its fragments lie there to-day, moss
grown and uncovered.
IL was in 1895 that the national
gov, rnmcnt erected at Wakefield
miniature copy of the Washington
monument. with the inscription
"Washington's Birthplace" and in
small letters Mt the base the words:
directed Ivy the United States. A..

of us, neighbors, bought husker
and shredder, including knife grind
err, etc, for $225, or $25 per share,
as one stakeholder was allowed two
shares, he having about twice as
much corn as the others. He also
had to furnish two men when husk-
ing, as it took nine to work it up to
full capacity; two in the field to load,
three to haul corn from field, one to
haul husked corn and three around
the machine, to haul water and keep
the thing moving in general. They
also took turns in feeding, as that
was perhaps the hardest work in
connection with it.
Each shareholder was charged
three cents per shock, la hills, for
what he had husked, and was allowed
ten cents per hour for helping the
others, no charge being made for
teams or wagons, as they would have
been idle anyway. We found this
better than husking at so much per
bushel, as it was less bother. If
ones corn was good and large. it
cost him less proportionately than
his neighbor. but as it took longer
to husk it he had to pay for more
labor. and vice versa, so that al the
settlement things were pretty well
evened up. We hired man with his
traction engine and necessary outfit,
at So cents per hour actual running
time. AS most of us had onsider-
able stock to feed we began at eight
a. m. and quit at four p. M, so that
we were not rushed to DEATH IL
the fodder or fields were not in good
condition we quit until they were.
One of the number kept account of
the shocks and time we were at work.
In 10 hours we husked 1,700 shocks,
which made at least $500 bushels
shelled corn. Much of the crop had
been husked by hand before getting
the machine.
This plan gave very good satisfac-
ton. This year, however, we have
not accomplished much, as the
weather has been so unfavorable.
We found no difficulty in keeping the
fodder, if practically dry when shred
ded. The blower is much better than
the old style carrier, as that requires
man in the NOW, which causes the
fodder to heat where tramped over.
We tried stacking the fodder and It
kept very well, except where the
blower deposited on the stack. But
1t was quite a job to stack it, and
much of the lightest and best parts
of the fodder were blown entirely
off the stack. 1t was also quite a
task to haul the shredded fodder to
the barn, as it is difficult to handle
by ordinary means. A neighbor had
some baled, but did not find IL profit
able selling 1t in competition with
hay at $40. He said the bales were
nearly all moldy when opened for
feeding. Shredded fodder is all right
If one has NOW room to store it. and
plenty of stock to consume it, other
wise we doubt its value when com.
pared with it's cost.-Ohio Letter, in
Rural New Yorker.

PLANS OF JUDGE PARKER.
The New York Democratic Possibility
Takes Mention of His Name
Seriously.

Judge Alton b. Parker, of New
York, during the recess of the court Of
appeals few months hence, is to make
a tour of the southern states, and de-
liver addresses in several of them.
This shows that the judge takes the
mention of his name with the nomina-
ton of 1904 seriously, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Early in 1892
David b. Hill made a similar pilgri-
mage to the south, where the senti-
ment was supposed to be strongly in
his favor for the nomination that
year. As a preliminary TO the boom
which was TO be started for him in
the south, Hill got up his early state
convention, which met in February
of that year. and which was to commit
New York to him for the candidacy
in the national convention TO be held
few months later.
Hill accomplished nothing by his
"snap" convention and his southern
crusade. Will Judge Parker have bet
ter fortune? Possibly he may. The
Judge is an unknown in politics, and
as such he has charms for the demo-
cratic politicians, who are anxious to
get a man who can carry the country
on any sort of device or subterfuge.
He is personally genial and popular
man, but he has made no political
record Of any consequence. He sup
ported Bryan in 1896 and 1900, which
may be n merit in the eyes of western
democrats. but this consideration is
not calculated to arouse any enthusi-
asm among the democrats of New
York, New Jersey, Connecticut and the
rest of the old doubtful states of the
east, which will have to be carried
by the democrats, if they are to win
the presidency.
| Much interest is taken in Parker in
the south. Many of the newspapers
and politicians in that region have pro-
posed him for the presidency. chiefly on
the ground that he has made no po-
!itical record at all. he is more avail
able than the experienced men of all
elements of their party. all of. whom
have made too much of record for
their own political good. Undoubtedly
Parker's tour will attract the coun,
try's attention. While the republic.
ans are not afraid of any aspirant who
is mentioned in connection with the
democratic candidacy, they are nat.
urally interested in anybody who has
any chance for carrying the democrat.
ic convention. The judges coming
swing round the circle will get some
space in the republican as well as the
democratic journals.
