THE game laws of Delaware are
unfair to the residents of the State
and operate to the profit of the pot
hunters and their customers, who
frequently come here under the
guise of sportsmen. A leading law
yer of Georgetown stated to the
writer last week, that to his per-
sonal satisfaction, but not in evil
dence that would be taken in court.
he knew of men who have been
cunning since the middle of Octo-
Der, and who are making a business
of selling game to men who come
to the hotels of Sussex county
Ostensibly for the pleasure of gun
ming but who buy large strings of
birds and carry them out of the
State and sell them at handsome
profits to hotels and restaurants.
This can and should be stopped.
A higher license for nonresident
gunners, and absolute prohibition
ofcarrying birds killed in Delaware
from being taken from the State,
will do the trick. As it now stands,
the owner of a farm can not kill a
bunch of birds and ship them to
relative outside the State; while the
dealers can take home a hundred
at a time without any hindrance,
and by the payment of a paltry two
dollar bill for the renewal of his
license. The time has come for
some radical action to be taken. &

PROCLAMATION.

} Whereas, In response to intelligent demand
the General Assembly, at its last session,
passed an Act entitled "An Act Limiting
Judgment Liens upon Real Estate In Kent
and Sussex Counties. and for other purposes, /"
being Chapter 457, Volume p, Laws OF Della
ware; and
Whereas Serious and urgent representa-
tiOns have been made to me by the Chancel-
lor OF the Stately the resident Judges and by
the members Of the Bar Of the Counties OF
Kent and Sussex with practical unsnimity.
and by many other intelligent citizens, that
while the general purpose OF the Act afore-
said will tend TO the public good yet never
theless certain numerous judg ment creditors
Will be unjustly subjected TO grave loss by the
operations thereof, owing to their failure to
comply Herewith, not contumaciously, nor
even heediessly, but through ignorance OF
the Law alone; and
Whereas, This loss to the people can be
averted only by extending the time in which
the Act aforesaid shall go into operation;
aud
Whereas, The time fixed in said Act for
continuance Of liens upon real estate pre-
cludes the possibility Of any legislative ac-
tion in reference thereto without a special
Session OF the Legislature; and
hereas, This public relief can be had by
Special Session OF the Legislature, not ex-
eeeding few hours In length; and at an ex-
pense extremely uncomfortable, in view Of

ONE of the nuisances of the liquor
business in almost every town, is
the congregating of people about
places where liquor is sold, to the
detriment of public comfort. In
many instances these gatherings
are more or less noisy, and cause
ladies much annoyance either in
shocking their finer sensibilities, or
by causing detours to avoid the
dlsreputable crowd. The liquor
sellers generally deplore this coudi-
ton of things, but even the police
find it difficult to free the public
streets Of this annoyance. We
believe, that law compelling the
bars to close at nine o'clock each
night, and remain closed until seven
the next morning, would largely
remedy this particular evil. Then
the repeal of selling by bottle to
be taken from the premises will
break up another complaint made
about drunken women and boys.
The liquor dealers are desirous of
keeping respectable places, and will {
aid the officers of the law or should 3

HUMAN HEADS ON HUTS
Victor Clark Sojourns Among New
Guinea Cannibals.

Benedict Juni of this city, is in re-
ceipt of an interesting, though short,
letter from Victor S. Clark, we'll known
in New Ulm. Mr.. Clark is connected
with the United States Department of
Labor and is making a tour of the
countries in the far east for the pur-
pose of collecting statistics concerning
labor and social conditions. From
Sydney, New South Wales, he writes
as follows:
81 have been in Fiji, New Zealand,
Australia, up to and through the Phil
ippines, in China, the Malay States,
and spent six weeks in Java, besides
visiting Timor, Banda, several ports
in New Guinea and the Bismark Archi-
pelago, the present trip. My plans
take me back to America via South
Africa or the Suez Canal and Europe,
after second tour of Australia. l
shall hardly be home before late
autumn or early next winter.
''By the way, we are just beginning
our winter here. The crops are in,
and [ recently attended state fair in
Sydney where 10000 people were in
attendance Easter Monday. There
were some fine exhibits, especially of
fruits and squashes. But there is so
much drought here, that many farmers
are discouraged, and people are leav-
ing the country in excess of the arriv-
ais.
ga labor government goes into pow
er this week, as result of the recent
federal cabinet crisis. The new pre-
mier is an acquaintance of mine, from
my former visit, young fellow who
only few years ago was a manual
laborer in the parks of Sydney. He
is a compositor by trade.
II was among cannibals in New
Guinea, in villages where the heads
were still hanging in their huts; but
upon consideration have decided that
[ should prefer Mrs. Juni's 'blitz
kuchen" to broiled pickaninny.

sewers his connection with the high
school to take the superintendency of
the GAINESVILLE schools. Mr.. Dills
spoke of his regret in having to leave

rived during his stay here.
Immediately following this the asso-
citation held meeting, at which the
following officers were elected for the
ensuing year: President, Arthur Deng-
Ter; Vice President, Albert Pfaender;

LOOK FOR A GOOD YEAR
Officials of Cattle Company Regard
Prospects, as Bright.

Unless allindicationsf fail, the present
season promises to be a banner year
for men engaged in cattle raising and
there will be plenty of fat stock to
market in the fall. M. Mullen, presi-
dent of the Minnesota and Dakota
Cattle company, returned Thursday
night from Everett, S. D., having
spent three weeks on the company's
grazing land near that place, and he
takes a very optimistic view of the
situation.
Mr.. Mullen says that while he was
absent South Dakota had the heaviest
rainfall the range country has known
for twenty years and the benefits to
accrue from it can hardly be estimated.
The copious downpour has caused the
grass to grow with really amazing
rapidity and the range is now in
superb condition. There is fodder to
spare and it will be possible to lay in
a larger. supply of hay than for many
years.
For stock-fattening purposes nothing
better could be desired, and as the
Minnesota and Dakota Cattle com
pany has some $4,000 head to prepare
for the market this summer the officials
are we'll pleased with the outlook
Their last shipment OF $500 head
arrived from Texas in better condi
ton than when they were driven or
board the cars, fact which woul6
seem to warrant the belief of the
owners that their stock will comm an6
top-notch prices at Chicago il
September.

FEW FAVOR "YELLOW KID
Not Many Hearst Supporters on
Duluth Delegation.
Democratic County Convention
Held at Sleepy Eye.
JeffersOnians do Not Exhibit I'm
due Enthusiasm.

Anti-Hearst sentiment pred dominated
at the democratic county convention,
held Saturday morning at Sleepy Eye.
There was no outright hostility to the
Chicago American man but the trend
which fairs took would seem to in
dictate that he is not the idol of Brown
county Jeffersonians. Two or three
adherents of the famous saffron
journalist found their way onto the
state delegation, but the majority are
in no wise pledged to his support.
Saturdays session of the "trooly
loil'' was called for the purpose of
electing delegates to the democratic
state convention, to be held in Duluth
June 22d, and was rather tame
affair. The delegates did not respond
as we'll as had been expected, there
was very little interest displayed and
the entire business was completed
during the forenoon. No resolutions
were adopted and the quota from this
county will go to the Zenith City abso-
lutely uninstructed.
Capt. Albert Steinhauser of this
city, was chosen as chairman and pre-
sided over the deliberations, while
Eugene Fernholz of Springfield. acted
as secretary. The following were
named as delegates: W. r. Hodges,
Sleepy Eye; Albert Steinhauser, New
Ulm; George Ross, Springfield; Fl. j.
Berg, Sleepy Eye; Peter Manderfeld,
New Ulm; George Glotzbach, M. M.
Radl, Sleepy Eye; Fred Pfaender,
New Ulm; Martin Foy, A. G. Ochs,
Springfield: Jos. j. Sperl, Cotton
wood; John Schneider, Einar Hoidale,
New Ulm.
The convention Endorsed W. r.
Hodges as member of the democratic
state central committee.
