Mr.. r. c.. Johnston of Lawrence,
write Of Angora goats, as he has been
breeding these animals quite extern
sively for some years. He has sublime
faith in their ability to adapt them
selves to varied conditions and to do
much toward transforming otherwise
waste places into profitable areas. He
says: 1.-THE Angora grows to the same
size as sheep, but does not mature so
rapidly. A six-months-old lamb will
weigh more than kid of the same age
with equal care. Therefore the goat
is not as good to raise for the early
market But this is more than offset
by the fact that it carries it's lamb or
soft joint longer than a lamb does,
and its life is so much longer than that
of sheep. 1t is a prolific breeder and
a productive shearer until twelve and
fourteen years old. 1t lives and thriveS
in any climate or country where sheep
live and prosper, no matter how cold
or hot. 1t readily adaptS itself to the
surrounding conditions, from the rich
the shelter it needs in this climate is
an open shed facing the south. which
it can go under to protect itself from

time fixed is too short time from
the judgment, Rooney will have to be
resentenced to die on another and
later date
There are several ways stated in
the law in which change may be
made in the date of the execution.
The governor of the state may sus-
pend the execution and grant re-
prieve In case of the escape of a
prisoner the law provides that the
judge may set another date for the
execution. The other provision is in
case of insanity. There is also the
usual provision for delaying the ex-
ecution of woman in case of preg-
nancy
Rooney is young man, % or 80
years of age, and does not appear to
be greatly downcast over the melan-
choly fate which awaits him. In
prison he will have to conform to the
usual rules and regulations, although
especial precaution will be taken to
see that he has no opportunity to
make an attempt to escape He is
confined in one of the ordinary cells
used for the confinement of term and
life prisoners
The crime for which he was con-
victed was the murder of young man
named Harold Sweet. at Fargo, in
August. 1902. There were three of
Sweet brothers and an attempt was
made by several hobos to hold them
up. Harold Sweet resisted and one
of the men shot him. infiicting fatal
injury Rooney was arrested, tried
and convicted OF the shooting, and the
jury fixed the penalty at death.
When he was sentenced he made a
/ brief statement to the court, denying
that he was the man who fired the
fatal shot.

INDIAN MATTERS DISCUSSED.
Sites For Indian School Visited by Major
Mclaughlin.

Major James Mclaughlin, Indian
inspector. who has been looking over
the sites for the proposed Indian
school near Bismarck, has finished his
work here and goes to Rolla and the
state to look after some matters in
his department.
The reason the Devils Lake and Ft
Berthold reservations We're not open
ed for settlement this year is due to
the opposition of Chairman Cannon OF
the house. He opposed. as chairman
of the house appropriation committee,
the bills that passed the senate, which
carried with them appropriations for
the purchase of the lands of the In
dams in several reservations in this
state and South Dakota. Next year,
however, the reservations will be
opened without question, says the
Major, as the agreements with the In

dians are good ones, for the govern
ment as We'll as the Indians.
The school to be established in this
state will teach the young Indians of
both sexes the methods of farm work,
and the household duties of the civil
lied whites. and will be in effect a
duplicate of the Carlisle Indian school
in teaching all the branches of in
dustrial training
Major Mclaughlin says that the
people of North Dakota made no mis-
take when they returned Senator
Hansbrough who, as entering his
third term and as chairman of the pub
lie lands committee, is among the fif-
teen oldest members of the senate and
his influence and success in getting
government recognition for his state.
is greatly increased by his former eX
perience. Senator McCumber is also
doing good work.

CAN ROONEY BE HANGED?
Question Whether John Rooney Can be Hanged on
Date Set by Judge.
Law Provides Six Months Must EIapse from Time
Sentence is Passed.
Brought to the Penentiary to be Hanged in a Little
More than Months from Time Of Judgment.

John Rooney, who will have the
questionable distinction of being the
first man executed under the new law
requiring all executions of capital
sentences to be held at the state pen
itcntiary, has been brought to the
city by Sheriff Twitchell, of Cass
county. and delivered into the custody
of the penitentiary authorities. to re-
main until the time appointed for his
execution. The law requires that
within ten days after the passing of
sentence. the convicted man must be
brought to the penitentiary and there
kept in CLOSE confinement" by the
warden of the institution, until the day
set for his execution, when before sun
rise he must be hanged, in accord
ance with the death sentence. In
Rooneys case. an interesting legal
question arises as to whether he can
be lawfully executed on June 26,
which is the date set for his execution
by Judge Pollock The new law pro-
vides that the date for the execution
of the death sentence shall not be
less than six months or more than
nine months from the date of the
judgment. In Rooney's case, the
judgment which mas been delivered to
Warden Boucher and which is a copy
| OF the judgment entered in the district
| court of Cass county, is dated March
20 Six months from that date. which
is the shortest time after judgment in
| which the execution could be had. un
the law would be Sept 90. which. i,
would appear to the layman, would be
the earliest date on which Rooney
could be hanged. June 26. the date
fixed by Judge Pollock, is little NOR,
than three months from the date O.

ably be considered by the states lega
authorities, and if it is found that tn,

 PORTLAND, Ore, March 11.-Fire broke out shortly before noon on Victo- ria dock, on the east side of the Villa mette river and north of the railroad bridge, and burned fercely for two hours, destroying property of an esti- mated value of $6O0,O00.
 The fire spread to the Irving dock ad- joining, and the two docks. together with about S50.OoO bushels of wheat, were destroyed. Several other build ings and about twenty freight cars were destroyed. The fire department was handicapped badly on account of being able to put water only on one side of the burning dock. The two docks are about 800 feet long by POO feet deep.
 It is rumored that the fire was start ed by cigarette thrown on the floor.

A PLAYFUL HOLD-UP.
Foster Woodbury Smashed on the Head
 With a Whip.

Hartford, March 11-Foster Wood bury of No Church street met an of- ticer on the East Hartford bridge short ly before midnight last night and said he would like the ambulance and few surgeons as he feared he was badly in- jured. He was directed to the police station, where Dr H. F. Smith sewed up a wound on his head, which bled freely, an artery having been cut. Woodbury was accompanied by two other young men and as far as the po- lice could learn he received his injury in the following manner: Woodbury and his companions were strolling on the bridge with some young women and he decided to show the girls how a hold-up was accomplished. It was not to be a real hold-up and there was only to be an illustration. of how the thing was done. When a wagon came along Woodbury sprang for the horse
 The driver struck him over the head with the butt end of his whip. One of the girls tainted, another screamed and ran away and the hold-up was not success. The driver of the horse passed on and the young men and wo- men came to this city.

DEPUTIES IN HARD LUCK.
County Commissioners Will Probably
 Refuse to Pay Bills.

New Haven, March 11.-There is a question as to where the money is com ing from to pay the deputy sheriffs who have served during the Waterbury strike to preserve order up there. Not one of them has yet been paid. It was supposed that the county would pay the sheriffs, but the county commis- sioners say they cannot find any war rant in the statute books authorizing them to pay out money for any such purpose.
 During the Ansonia strike the sher- ifs were paid by the Farrel Foundry Go. This would indicate that the rail- road company of Waterbury should pay for the sheriffs in the present in- stance.
 If the railroad company refuses to pay them the city of Waterbury will be called on. There is bill approxi- mating $5,OOO which some one must pay or else the sheriffs will take pot luck and where there is nothing in the pot.
 On February 4, Sheriff Dunham took about seventy deputy sheriffs into the city of Waterbury. It is understood that they were to ',n paid $5 a day. All of these men stayed there from six to nine days. Then large number of them were called off. Since the end of nine days eight or ten sheriffs have been serving there constantly. No absolute statement has been made by the county commissioners refusing to pay these men, but there is good reason to believe that they will not foot the bills. Their position is plain. They find no authority in the statute books for paying the sheriffs and there fore might hold themselves liable if they should pay out the county's money for any such purpose.
 If tle county does not pay, and the city of Waterbury and the railroad company refuses to pay, there may re- suit a lawsuit over these claims. It will raise a very nice question in law, as all may see. The deputies say ''the money is good,'' but how good time will tell. /
