Hog Raising on enc Farm.


In choosing brood sows for the pro
duction of pork, it is very important
matter TO select from prolific and
strong legs and good feet. The indi
viduals selected should be rather
rangy, with a straight back, a broad
and deep body. 1t is not bad plar
to notice whether she has twelve de
veloped teats. Do not bred them be
fore they are eight months old, but
feed them well before and after breed
ing. so that they may become vigor
Gus and well developed.
The boar, as is usually said, is hall
of the herd, therefore, great care mus
be exercised in his selection. In the
first place, he should be a full blood
sire OF whatever breed he is chosen
so that he may correct any faults thai
may obtain in the sows. Like the
sows, he should come of prolific and
vigorous family, but should be more
correctly built than the sows. 1t i:

age of the sOwS.

Canal Commission Rules.

President Roosevelt had a long con-
ference with Secretaries Hay and Taft
and Attorney General Knox, at which
the regulations to govern the Isthmian
canal commission were determined on
finally.
While the creation and work of the
commission is committed by law to
the President, whose authority in that
regard is practically supreme. the
President, by the regulations, directs
that the commission shall exercise its
powers under the direction and super
vision of the secretary of war.

Haywood on Trial.

Denver. May 10.-William D. Hay
wood, secretary of the Western FEEDER
alton of Miners. who has been under
arrest for several weeks on charge
of desecrating the American flag. was
given a trial yesterday morning in
Justice Hynes' court. The act of desc
Grafton, as claimed. consisted In the
printing by the federation of a num-
ber of questions on picture OF the
flag and passing them out as circulars.
Among the questions was: is Colo

Deputy District Attorney Taylor of
fered one of the flags as evidence and
brought out the fact that the Western
Federation had had 1t issued. He
made his argument on the statute
which strictly prohibits the use of a
flag for advertising purposes.
Attorney Hawkins for Haywood in
sisted that the statute was not consti-
tutional, and that If 1t were. nothing
could be done to his client. as the law
said that flags could not be desecrated.
He held that picture Of a flag was
not a flag. and went on to show that
innumerable business houses all over
the country used pictures of the ma
tional colors for advertising purposes
without the least objection from any
body.
Justice Hynes took the matter un-
der advisement and will render de-
cision Thursday.

Wrax Telephone system.

Denver, May 1O.-A Republican spe-

EXPLORER DEAD.
II. M. STANLEY DIES IN LONDON.
Close Of the Career Of One of the
? Worlds Greatest Explorers and
Newspaper Correspondents.


London. May 10.-Sir Henry NJ.
Stanley. the African explorer. is dead.
Sir Henry. who was attacked by pleu-
rlsy a fortnight ago, died at his London
residence. His illness was compli-
Gated by chronic heart trouble. He
had been in a semi-conscious condition
since Sunday afternoon.
Henry NJ. Stanley was conceded to
be lhe most noted traveller and ex-
plorer of his time. His greatest fame
grew out of his finding DR.. David Liv-
ingston in the heart of Central Al
rica, after that greatest of all mis-
sionaries had been lost to the world
for several years, and later Stanley's
successful efforts in carrying out the
work begun by Livingston in solving
for the world the secrets of Darkest
Africa.
The first years of Stanley's life were
spent in an English poor-house. His
name was Henry NJ, Ragland. but at
an early age he went to New Orleans
to live with an uncie and assumed that
uncle's name-Stanley. His school ed
ucation was limited. and before he had
reached the age of 20 he had enlisted
in the Southern army. At the close
OF the war he drifted to Colorado, and
he is remembered by many of the men
who first gathered at the Gregory dig
gings near Central City. II is said that
his first journey OF exploration was
made down the Platte river. starting in
n common row boat at Denver, and ex-
tending his journey to the Missouri
river.
At that time Stanley commenced to
write for the newspapers, and the next
heard of him was when he accom-
panied a government expedition, of
which John ID. Rowland, the Denver
artist. was the official secretary, to
the Rosebud and Sioux agency in Da-
kota. He was then correspondent for
the New York Herald.
Later Stanley went to Europe. and
next made two journeys into Africa
as war correspondent-frs to Abys-
sinia and then TO Ashanti.
James Gordon Bennett then sent
Stanley to find Livingston, and then
followed his memorable journeys into
the unknown regions of that continent,
his discovery of the sources of the
Congo river, and further five years
spent in the development of the Congo
region in the employ of King Leopold.
In 1886, while on lecturing tour in
the United States. he was called upon
to rescue Emin Bey, the lost governor
of Ethiopia, in upper Egypt. That
work he carried out successfully in the
next three years, winning the acclaim
of the entire world. No man was ever
given higher honors.
Stanley settled down in London. His
one aim in life was to sit as member
in the English Parliament. At first he
met defeat, the next effort was sue
cessful, and he has been reelected
time and time again.
From a poor house he rose. by his
unaided efforts. to be a member of the
British Parliament.

LATEST NEWS FROM WASHINGTON
claim Decision Saves Millions.


The Court of Claims on the 5th inst
decided that duties collected on goods
shipped from the United States to the
Philippines after the treaty of peace
with Spain, and before the establish
ment of civil government, were right
fully collected, although by military
authority and not by law. The deci-
sion follows the insular decision of the
Supreme Court that the Philippines
are United States territory.
The case decided was the claim OF
Warner, Barnes &. Co., British cor
poration, which sued the United States
for sS1. .126. Other claims resting on
exactly the same foundation aggregate
between $7,000.000 and $4,000. 900. BY
the decision this amount will be saved
to the government. Warner. Barnes
& Co. sued for tariffs collected at
Manila upon importations of mer-
chandise from the United States after
the treaty OF peace with Spain. and 1t
was argued that under the authority
OF the insular cases lately decided by
the United States Supreme Court the
levy and collection of such tariffs was
illegal for the reason that at the time
OF such collection the Philippine ar
chipelago was not a foreign country in
respect to the United States after the
exchange of ratiflcations of the treaty
by the governments Of the United
States and Spain.
Judge Wright, in rendering the opin
ion. followed the decision of the In
sular case and decided that the Philip
pine islands were not foreign country
in respect to the United States, but
distinguished the case from the insular
cases. holding that state of war ex
listed throughout the islands between
the United States and the Filipinos to
the extent that the treaty with Spain
and all other merely civil law was for
the time being suspended and super
seded by military law, until such time
as 1t might be possible to establish
civil administrative and judicial au-
thority to enforce the civil law. and
that during such period OF suspension
of the civil law the power of the mill
tary commander was absolute and that
he might Nlawfully prohibit or restrict
trade or commerce, and, as a condition
to commerce within his military dis
trict. might impose contributions to
assist in the expense of the war and
such care to INDECENT non-combatants
as humanity might require.

Low gave as a reason for this action

the officers were accused of assaulting,
while in jail. that such action be ta-
ken. He expressed the belief that the
officers did not assault his son.
