The Feeding Steer That
Pays.

Professor f. b. Mumford of the
Missouri Agricultural College who
has had charge of the largest co.
operative cattle experiment ever
attempted by the Federal govern
ment and who has besides col
lected facts concerning nearly two
million steers fed and marketed in
Missouri, Iowa and Illinois, thus
describes the feeding steer that
pays:
If the head and legs of the
profitable feeding steer were cut
off what was left of him would re-
semble a box with rounded cor
ners, says Prof. MumfOrd. His
legs are short and straight, his
top line straight, and his body
broad and deep. Especially i'm
portant marks of a good feeder
are clear, bright eye and short
thick neck. The whole animal
should be smooth and evenly COW
cred with thick flesh. A moder-
ately large paunch on a healthy,
vigorous steer should be regarded
as a desirable characteristic. Mod
erately fine bone is also an indica-
ton Of good feeding qualities. On
the contrary a coarse bone with a
long body, large head and general
appearance of cOarseness are al
ways marks of steer that will
eat everything in sight and never
make his owner a dollar. A steer
possessing the desirable charac-
teristics mentioned will fatten
more quickly than the scrub and
will put the flesh on where the
highest priced cuts are located"

Ice Cleared this Point Anril 10.

The Wisconsin river cleared itself
of ice on Sunday April 10th and is
now ready for navig alton. On Saturday
while the ice was moving out OF the
rapids to point below the wagon
bridge the ice ripped up the water
main which crosses the Wisconsin
river just below the bridge. It also
cut off the large electric light and
telephone pole located just below the
center pier. These two accidents
caused the shifting off of water works
and electric currant for that after
noon. Workmen soon made the.
necessary changes and repairs so that
the citizens were out OF service for
only short time. 1t will be some
time before the water main can be
repaired. We believe it will be
money saved for the city to make q
permanent and lasting job of this
and it will be necessary 10 lay the
pipe we'll below the bed of the river.
When this is done let it be well done
SO that next Spring the ice will not
repeat the present accident.

Sight Scorers at the New Dam.

A large number Of our people were
sight scorers Sunday afternoon from
the crest of the new dam watching
the Workmen breaking up the ice
above the dam with dynamite. 1t
proved to be very interesting sight to
watch the large cakes OF ice pass
over the spill ia the dam. Hundreds
of people were gathered upon both
sides Of the Wisconsin river watching
the antics performed by the ice in
passing oyer the slide. The new dam
has certainly caused great change
in the Wisconsin, river at this point
and the water passing through the
sluice ways and over the spill makes
a handsome view. Persons on first
sight of this grand view go in
ecstacies. Ii you have not yet visited
the dam go and see for yourselves.

A Rare Treat.

The pupils and patrons of the high
school and members Of the Woman'S
Clubs had an opportunity to listen to
a fine lecture on the Origin and
! History Of the Drama by one who
has made the drama and especially
the Shakespearian drama, alife study.
Tt is to the talented young actor, VIM.
Owen that these people are indebted
for an hour of intellectual enjoyn ent.
MIR. Owen prefaced his remarks by
speaking of his Indebtedness to the
high school for the beginning of his
taste for good literature. and also
remarked that he was in the habit Of
quoting the purest EngliSh-that Of
Shakespeare, and felt that his English
would be weak by comparison. In
the purity Of English used Mr.. Ovens
lecture exempliiied the trite saying:
I'VE become like that with which we
live
The drama originated IN old pagan
times and its revival since the time of
Christ was Traced to the old miracle
plays in which the life and suffering
of the MAN of Galilee' was portrayed
ia the Christian churches.
Primitive man had not reached the
stage in his development, where an
abstraction could'be given him. The
idea must be liked by yiSualizing,"
hence the plays out Of which grew
the modern drama. Mr.. Owen
likened the quarrel of the church
with the thealer to that Of a mother
quarreling with her daughter and
stated that the agitation began by
narrow-m minded men, who never had
seen a good play or been inside of
tneater The function Of the theater
is not only to amuse but to Instruct.
After reviewing briefly the works of
earlier dramatists. Mr.. Owen dwelt
upon the life and works of the great
dFanatist-S Shakespeare. He then
paid a glowing tribute to Shake
speares women or rather woman
Ilikening them to d series of pictures
painted by enc artist; while all are
different, each has something Of the
coloring Of all others. AS one thinks
of this he comes TO a realization of the
| fact that he has after all given US but
| the different phases Of the character
of one woman. Anne Boleyn was
thought to be the woman portrayed
by Shakespeare.
| The structure and purposes of the
plays of Othello and Merchant of
| Venice were brought clearly before
the minds of his hearers. These were
Iiaterspersed with quotations where
necessary to more carefully delineate
| the characters or bring out the
meaning of the. plays. The lecture
closed with the quotations:
"The quality of mercy is not
strained;
It droppeth as the gentle rain from
heaven,
Upon the place beneath, it is twice
blessed;
It blesseth him that gives and him
that takes.n
| Mr. Ovens lecture left one with the
impression that We have not yet out
lived the age when We need the por-
trayal OF characters in whom purity
and virtue are nppermost. That in
! the hands Of hread-minded noble men
and women, the stage in fulfilling its
TRUE mission merely supplements the
work of the church.

Supreme Court Settles Controversy
In Teton County.

Helena, June 27.-A decision of
particular importance as interpreting
the law regarding the appointment of
officials to office when there has been
a tie between candidates at an cleo.
ton. vas handed down by the su.

OF the state of Montana on the re.
lation OF Fannie f. Chenoweth against
Rebecca Acton, the litigation involy-
ing the title to the Office of super.
intendent of schools of Teton county
The opinion of the court was prepar.
ed by Commissioner Galloway.
At the general election in 1900 Mrs.
Chenoweth was elected county super
intendent. AT the succeeding election
she was not a candidate, the contest
being between Rebecca Acton and
Miss Brown. There was a tie vote
between the rival candidates and the
county commissioners appointed the
defendant in this case to the office
She assumed to qualify and discharge
the duties of the office, when Mrs
Chenoweth brought suit to Gust he
and the decision of the court below
was in her favor. From this the de
PENDANT appealed to the supreme
court which today affirmed the judg
ment of the dis crict court, holding in
effect that there was no vacancy at
the time the county commissioners
assumed to elect a superintendent
there having been no election of a sue
cessor to Mrs. Chenoweth.
