IRON CLAD RULES.

The big circus managers have this
year adopted some iron clad rules that
all Of their employees must sign and
adhere to- Every employee of the
show, from the highest salaried ring
performer to the humblest roustabout,
must sign contract which carries
forty-two iron clad regulations, a
violation of any one of which carries
fine of from s. to $50. For instance,
a maximum fine of $25 has put an
effectual stop to the complaint of
"mashing." Indulgence in gambling
in any form is punishable by fine OF
$40; if stake driver soliloquizes in
profane language he finds his pay
envelope lightened to the extent of IS,
and similar penalty added to the
price of drink is pretty apt to dis.
courage the most hardened "booze
fighter" Slovenliness is an abomina
tion in the code of the management
and If ring performer, through haste
or otherwise, appears in the Arena
with spot on his tights, an Ammonia
tory fine of $25 causes him to make 4
more careful inspection of his costum,
during the rest Of the season.

How TO Kill Mites.

My experience with mites is to keep
the hen house clean, also to take out
ali the hens nests and burn them,
wash or rub the hens nests with kero-
sene. take a cloth, wash off all the
perches with kerosene. Take a little
hay, put it into the kerosene and
sprinkle all over and in the roosts. In
case they get the start of you clean
out hen roost well then throw all
around the hen roost with boiling hot
water. Feed hens some kerosene in
their water. Venetian red paint is
good to keep off disease by giving il
to them in their feed. I have had
much trouble with them but none
now. Joel Dayton.

RATHER FISHY.

Rlceyllle Is town after our OWL
hearts 1t contains more thoroughbred
| fishers of both sexes and of all ages
and sizes than any town of its size on
earth. Last Friday was the first day
of the season for legal fishing and al
four O'Clock that morning men, women
and children commenced vending their
way to the river. There were Dam-
boo poles and willow poles, cane poles
and steel rods; silk lines, linen lines.
cotton lines and thread spoon hooks
and phantom minnows, live minnows,
crabs, frogs, buktails and worms; kids
bare-footed, men in rubber boots,
women in-well, we don't know as
that makes any difference, anyway.
By six O'Clock there wasn't standing
room on the banks of the pond and
the boats were so thick that the fish
couldn't get to the surface for air.
This kind of warfare has been kept up
every day since and there are no
visible signs of abatement. Recorder

cused by 30. Marsh of making false
statement in regard to selling piano to
a Mrs. Ed. Hardness, Mabel, MINI. /
do not claim to have sold this party a
piano, and have never met the lady,
and have not made a statement in
Public Opinion to that effect. But l
did sell Kimall piano to Mrs. Eta
Hardness of that place.
The terrible charge that am accused
of occurred through an error of prin-
ter at the DEBORAH Republican reading
the name Ed. Hardness instead of Eta
Hardness and this is the only paper
that made this terrific mistake.
We have however pardoned this
printer as we found the crime to be of
a mild form, consequently take the
bitter medicine alone.
We are of the opinion the accuser is
a little impetuous and have not feel
ings BETTING our common nature.
