A cask recently constructed for a

holds 5000 gallons. It is made of Cali
fornia redwood without, and the selec-

two years. Two entire trains of wag-

If Paderewski suddenly lost one of
his fingers, or Nine. PATHS inimitable
voice were to fail her, the financial
loss would be enormous, and would not
be covered by any ordinary provision
or form of insurance. Therefore all
such celebrated artists avail them
selves of a special form of under
writing which is carried on in their
interests.

were loss than in 1902, when stocks
accumulated. It is conservative to
take the average annual import for
three years as better representing the
quantity consumed, and. that was 910,-
9S7,576 pounds, having an average i'm
port value of 6S cents per pound.

NOW Tor the cam tratiOn and select
p''sh season. the Big Four as
delegates-at-large to Chicago was a
thousand-to-one shot six months ago.
For month the programme of the
democrats has been almost as definite.
For time some semblance of contest
was put into the preliminaries by the
insistence of Boss Murphy of Tam
many upon an uninstructed delegation.
Practical men see little difference in
effect between an instructed delegation,
a vote for the unit rule when two
thirds of the delegates are committed
to Parker, and no action at all. The
fact remains that Parker is the favor
ite son. of New York. And long before
New York's choice was made SO appar-
ent he was picked as likely candidate
by shrew& democratic leaders north
and south, Mr. German being one of
the first to name him in tones OF con-
fdence.
1t has been the business of the demo-
cratic leaders in the west and south to
know something about Parker. I sup
pose that to the high privates he is but
a name. Which seems strange to New
Workers. For the chief judge-not chief
"justice'-of the court of appeals of
the biggest state of the union is Per-
sonage; and Judge Parker is a man
bigger than his Office At 81 he is the
youngest judge on that great bench,
and by all odds the strongest in charac-
ter and personal magnetism. He has
been highly placed judge for 10 years.

After Blind Pigs.

A citizens committee of the Midway
district took hand in the effort TO
stamp out the blind pigs in Midway
and secured two dray loads of evidence
and the arrest of seven persons.
The raid was carefully planned and
was made by Sheriff Justus' deputies
armed with warrants made out by the
county attorney, on the recommends
ton of Judge Finehout of St. Paul.
The citizens took every precaution to
prevent the raid from miscarrying. The
members secured the evidence on which
the warrants were sworn out, without
the aid or knowledge even of the po-
lice, but in spite of their precautions
the tip was given to some of those on
the list, although not in time to do
them much good.

months than in any other quarter since
the live stock sanitary board was crea

the attended poor ventilation in barns

of the increase mortality.
There were 1872 horses killed during
the quarter on account of CHAMBERS,
382 in the twelve months. There were
3,179 suspected, of which 40 were
