would like to see the lieutenant governor

Killing Market Chickens.

The method of killing the chicken
by dislocating it's neck is different
from the old-fashioned way of wiring
ing or twisting the neck. When the
chickens neck is dislocated, and the
head is pulled from the neck. the loose
unbroken skin of the neck forms a
seek into which the blood of the chick.
en- flows. The body of the chicken is
as well drained of blood as if the head
were cut off with an axe. The market
appearance of the chicken is improved
by killing by dislocation; the flesh OF
the chicken is more juicy and edible
On the contrary, when chickens are
killed by twisting the neck, death re-
suits mainly from strangulation. The
body of the chicken is not freed from
blood ON account of there being no
space in the neck into which the blood
can flow. The appearance of the flesh
of the chicken that has been killed by
twisting it's neck is reddish and blood
can be plainly noted in it

In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and intel

and to protect from climate and disease,
these wise and prudent Sisters have found
Peruna a never failing safeguard.

For an ordinary lime kiln for your
own use, it is best to build it in the
bank OF some hill, leaving the clay to
form the walls, except the front, which
should be built of stone masonry. At
the bottom of the kiln there should
be an ash pit 16 inches high for the
ashes to collect in; on top of this flag
stones should be laid three or four
inches apart; these stones answer for
g crate, and the space between them
allows the ashes to fall through to the
ash pit. Stone up the fire hole three
feet high, and then corbel in until the
stones meet, and then lay a flag stone
over the top. Now fill the kiln with

Under the conditions described
above, the best thing to do would be
to draw the two parts as closely to
gether as possible and bolt them firm
" IN position. There are two ways OF
applying the bolt. One is to bore di.
rectly through the fork; another is to
bore through the opposite branches a
foot or two above the fork and insert
a bolt in each branch with an eye on
the inside. These are then connected
by fence wire or a small rod This
latter method is usually preferable be
cause it is much stronger. When a
short bolt is employed, occasionally
one-half of the tree may break off
short at the point of insertion of the
bolt. The higher bolt supports the
strain much better and obviates this
probability of breaking down.

WORLDS FAIR CLOSED
END OF THE GREATEST EXPO
SiTION EVER KNOWN.
Feeling Of Sadness Manifest-Taiks
Are Made by Gov. Dockery and
President Francis-Presentatio
TO the Latter.

The Louisiana Purchase Exposition at
st. Louis has eneded. The st%upandous
and magnificent exposition, whose ten
drills have extended into every portion
OF the civilized world and even into abo-
riginal recesses, bringing within the gates
OF st. Louis millions of visitors from
throughout the entire world, has run its
course and now passes into history as
probably having comprised the most rep
resentative collection OF resources indus
tries, arts, peoples and customs Of the
world ever assembled.
From the inception OF n project to hold
an exposition to fttingly commemorate
purchase of the Louisiana territory, until
the portals were thrown open and the
world was invited TO enter and enjoy the
completed exhibition of the worlds life,
occupied a period OF seven years. The
duration of the exposition has been seven
months, and during that time nothing has
occurred to throw a ~dampening effect on
the interest or to detract from the expo
sition in any way. The best order has
been maintained throughout; there have
been a few fires, but all were of small
with the exception of the de-
struction OF the house of Hoo-Hoo and
the partial destruction OF the Missouri
building recently. The former was i'm
mediately rebuilt. No loss OF life has
occurred during the exposition from ac-
cident.
st. Louis has proffered her most gra-
cious hospitality to the world, and il has
been accepted. Throngs OF visitors have
poured in to attend the exposition with
the expectation Of being pleased and sat
isfied. They have departed amazed and
gratiied. The opinion has been express
ed at all times on all sides, and without
reserve. that the Louisiana Purchase Elk
position has been a success. Congratula-

Loss IS ENORMOUS.
Awful Slaughter Of Japanese ~
Port Arthur.

According to a TOXIC dispatch to the
London Standard, there Is an unofficial
rumor that the Japanese have hauled
large CALLER guns to the cop Of 203 Me-
ter hill, from whence their fire has q
sweep Of the whole of Port Arthur. This
doubtless goes beyond the facts, but dis
patches indicate the progress the Japan
csc are making in the reduction Of Port
Arthur.
Bennett Burleigh wires to the London
Daily Telegraph from Che Foo that in
the last assault the japanese lost 1000
men in one hours fighting. They claim
to have captured two more Of the north
eastern forts and a third, which is part
Of the west Kekwan fort. They claim,
Mr.. Burleigh adds, to have effected a
Judgment at Pigeon Bay, thus turning
the fort on 2O3 Meter hill, and that they
are now tunneling from the gorge below
Laotie hill, which they hope first to
damage and to rush.
The dispatches continues:
Desperate fighting is progressing con-
tinuously and the losses are believed TO
be enormous, but the japanese believe
Port Arthur must fall within twenty-one
days"
The London Morning Posts correspond
ent at Shanghai telegraphs that wireless
communication has been re-established
between the Russian consulate at Che
Foo and the Port Arthur garrison.
The imperial headquarters at Toxic
Tuesday night summarized the Port Ar
thur situation as follows:
with regard to the enemy's forts at
Sungshu Mountain and eastward, we
have firmly captured the ~crests, glacis
and counterscarps and their vicinities,
but the time to charge has not yet come.
At present We are destroying classmates
and other caponiers.
"At Fort 203, Meter hill, by several
charges we have succeeded in capturing
the enemy's shelter trenches near the
summit. At present our force is holding
its position and endeavoring to capture
the whole fort"
1t is estimated in Toxic that 80 per
cent of the work Of the complete occu-
patton OF Port Arthur will be finished
with this height in the possession of the
japanese. No part of the harbor Of
Port Arthur will then be concealed.

TO ERADICATE "SCAB."
Legislature Will be Asked TO Es-

Huron farmers and stockmen are ser1-
ously discussing the ACCESSIBILITY of spe-
cial legislation by the incoming leGisla-
ture, looking to the eradication of dis
ease among cattle, particularly that
known as 'scab." Some trouble has re-
suited from this disease, and a number
of farmers nave resorted to the dipping
process, with excellent results.
1t is proposed to ask the state to estab-
lish dipping stations at convenient places,
under the direction Of a competent super
intendent and inspector. The matter is
receiving profound consideration and it
is quite probable that the legislature will
take the proposition i'll hand. Clark &c
Venables, of Huron, established Il dip
ping station there a year ago, and thou
sands of cattle have been dipped by
them. These stations are so limited in
numbC and so far apart that it is both
in~convenient and expensive for cattle
mel to avail themselves Of their bene.

The officers were afraid to fire into the
house for fear of killing some member
of Williams family. Finally Williams
fell asleep. and the daughter made her
escape. The officers then opened fire
upon the house and Williams was killed
by a bullet through his brain.
The cause of the triple murder was the

Dead Man Found In q Wheat Field
Near Wahpeton.

The finding of a dead man in a wheat
field near Wahpeton the middle of last
September, then so badly decomposed
that he could not be identified, led the
officers at Miller to believe that it might
be the body of Jacob Johnson, who was
murdered the last of June. An officer
went up there last week and found that
the description correspondent somewhat
to that Of Johson. The man found there
had S14 and a watch. He was of short
stature, had a red mustache and good
teeth. the same as JoNnson had. 1t Is

however. Ii it is, his hlurderers carried
