$4,000 for a Story.

Think of it! Twenty-Five thousand
dollars for one story! The highest price
that has been similarly paid in America
to any author. And this for just the ex-
elusive right to print the story in this
one publication-no right to publish it
in book form being included.
Consider the quality of merit, the in
tensity of interest this story must pos
sess to command this extraordinary
price. The white Company" has ever
been accepted as the greatest work of
any author, and by far superior to his
own Sherlock Holmes" tales-but "Sir
Nigel" says Conan Doyle himself, sur

The Record Herald for next Sunday,

New Year sDay
In Farof China
Greatest of Festivals In the Celestial
Empire, Happy Time For
Pigtailed Creditors.

~ T all Chinese festivals that Of
4 New Years day is the greatest.
Being peculiarly contradic-
tory race, the Chinese do not
reckon time by the sun, as we do in
America, but by the moon, so that the
Chinese New Years day may come at
any. time between the middle of Jan
When the time approaches, creditors
are happy, for by the last day of the
old year all debts must be paid The
Chinaman who cannot pay up must
hide his head until the festival is over.
Another preparation is a general wash
ing up. Household belongings and per-
sonal attire are put through a severe
course of soap and water in order that
the newayear may be begun with clean
illness.
When the night of New York's eve
approaches, the sound of the firing of
crackers begins and is kept up with an
incessant din until dawn. The first
business in the new year is the sacrifice
to heaven and earth. A table is spread
with offerings of food and drink, can
dies and incense, and crackers are let
off again just outside the front door
Then the father of the family comes
forward and kneels down in front of
the table, holding stick OF incense in
his hand and knocking his head three
times on the ground Rising to his
feet, he places the incense in the censor
on the table. More crackers are let off,
and paper money is burned.
After this ceremony the household
gods are worshiped in the same way,
and then the ancestral tablets, after
which the Giving IDOLS have their
turn. The father and mother sit down
side by side, and all their children and
grandchildren kneel before them and
do them reverence, but offerings are
not made to the living, as they are to
the dead. Then the servants come for
ward, dressed in their best, and kneel
down, bowling their heads to the
ground before their master and mis-
tress, receiving presents when they
rise.
Long before all these ceremonies are
flushed it is quite light, but in the
early hours of New Years morning the
streets look as deserted as if no one

Dr. G Bell of Cottage Grove was
found dead by the roadside mile and
half west of Deerfeld village just before
midnight Tuesday. He had fallen from
his buggy and the verdict of the cor
oner's jury at Deerfield was that death
was accidental He left Deerfield to
drive homeward, and supposedly top
pied from the vehicle, either breaking
his neck or suffering conclusion of the
brain. Men going to Deerfeld came
across the body. DR. Bell was some 40
years of age, came to Cottage Grove
from Canada about ten years ago, and
four years since was welded to lady of
Deerfield. He has long had weak heart
and it has been suggested that possibly
he was stricken with cardiac trouble.
DR. Bell was jovial, kindly and had many
friends. He drove down here early in
the evening and was seen on the streets
until quite late. When found he had
number of bruises on his face, but prac-
tically all are said to have been received
in an accident the night previous. His
team followed the road home, where it
was found the following morning. JUS
tice Nelson called coroner's jury con-
sisting of Aug Gottsbhalk, n A Lee,
Hans Johnson, Gunder Funsett, A
Quammen and G R Van SAINT, 0 John
son, Ed Nelson, Clarence Halverson and
the two doctors were called as witnesses.
After considering the case verdict of
accidental death due to unknown causes
was rendered.

City of GAINESVILLE. in said County, on the first
Tuesday, being the End day of January, 1906,
at o'clock a. M, the following matter will

was living in the city. The shops are
all shut, and the busiest streets are as
quiet as if it was an ideal Sabbath of
rest
But the quiet does not last long. Oc-
caSiOnal crackers are let off, and
strings Of beggars soon appear on ev
cry hand They are far more numerous
than usual and more importunate.
They know they will reap a rich har-
vest on this happy day, for it is lucky
to begin the year with good deeds, and
it is not long before the streets are
filed with we'll dressed multitude
starting out to pay New Years calls.
Custom requires that all the men in
China shall call on their relations,
teachers and friends. and for three
days the visiting goes on. Women are
not expected to pay New Years calls or
houses. AS these are men, of course
that would be highly improper.
When friends meet in the street for
the first time in the new year they
stand and bow very politely; they put
their hands together and shake them,
saying, "Kung shi, kung shi," which
means Il respectfully wish you joy"
and they often add, MAY you grow
rich,' for that is the Chinese idea of
happiness.
For three days the New Years re-
joicing goes on, and then all the poorer
classes begin to work again. Large
shops and places of business are closed
for a month.-Brooklyn Citizen.

Decay of New Years Calls.

Not many years ago it was the Gus
tom in all countries to visit ones
friends on New Years day, and ia this
country open house was kept all day
until matter Of some ten or fifteen
years ago. 1t is questionable whether it
will ever become fashionable to set
New Years day aside for calling again.
The ancient Romans made much Of
their New Years calls, and after the
empire of Rome had passed away the
custom lived in England, France md
Germany.

jury broufht in verdict in favor of the
defendant. Both plaintiff and defen-
dant are we'll known town of Johnstown
farmers whose farms adjoin. Schmaling
had a valuable horse that cut himself on
one of Burtke's barb wire fences and
soon bed to death. The animal was
valued at 1925 and Schmaling brought
suit.
Gross receipts of the Rockford, Beloit
& GAINESVILLE Interurban Ry in Wiscon-
sin for the year ending Nov 80 amounted
to 55,84l so, according to the report
submitted to the city treasurer by Aud
itor E B Gibson. This is an increase of
$3,85280 over the previous twelve
months The earnings subject to Ii.
cense fee of 2 per cent under the Wis
consin statutes of 1897, amount to $780,
1850, the fee being $53S.33; and the
earnings subject to 215 per cent fee
amount to S28,924.75, the fee being
S72312. There is therefore the total
sum of 81, 261. As to be divided among
the cities of GAINESVILLE and Beloit and

William Spencer, a guileless country
country ladd who had been employed at
Clinton by G G Newhouse, but who had
broken his contract after he had been at
his task for some time and had for that
reason departed without receiving any
pay, decided that though legally he
could not collect anything he was emit
tied to compensation for his time as a
matter of right and wrong, and that he
might even up the score by quietly ex-
changing lame old bay horse for the
good gray standing in the Newhopse
barn. He acted accordingly and after
wards traded the gray for roam horse
at Shopiere. 1t was mere childs play
for the sheriff to trace the transactions
and locate Spencer, who made no at
tempt to conceal himself or leave the
country, in the city of Beloit The re-
wards of S25 for the recovery of the
horse and S25 more for the arrest and
conviction of the thief were easily earn
ed. The young man was brought here
and in municipal court he acknowledged
the theft. He said that he had always
been law-abiding heretofore, but that he
had felt justified in doing what he did
in this instance. Spencer is % years Of
age and came to Rock county from Indi
ana eight years ago. Those who know
him have always regarded him as per
fectly trustworthy. The court imposed
the minimum sentence of two years in
states prison.

FEEDING FOR MILK

Get quality of milk &y breeding, and
quantity by feeding. Of the grains,
corn and oats and linseed meal, to-
gether with alfalfa or clover hay, will
produce the most satisfactory results
in the dairy. If ensilage is fed, the
ground corn should be supplemented
by wheat middlings and BRAN Buck
wheat in any form is the poorest but
ter feed. Cottonseed meal is q profit
able food when fed with grass, but
when fed with the winter ration or
dry food it's tendency is to make the
butter too hard.-Farm Journal.
1t Pays to Feed Well.
The man who thinks it does not pay
to feed COWS good feed or give them
good care and shelter is losing money.
He thinks that by not spending money
he is saving it. He does not get any
to spend or save 1t is like wheat AS
long as it is in the bin it does not in
crease, but loses value. Put it in the
ground the proper way and it null
tiplies So with money. Put it into
good COWS, good feed and good barns
and it multiplies.-Farmers Advocate.
A Feeding Pointer.
Remember that the COW is machine
that transforms the feed you cannot
eat into milk that you can consume;
therefore do not put any musty, faint
ed feed into that machine and expect
pure and wholesome milk to issue
therefrom.
Feeding Refuse Sugar.
The progress of scientific dairying is
shown by increased attention devoted
to the subject in Russian dairying sec
lions, where various systematic eXper-
iments are carried on somewhat on
these lines. A recent test was to es-
tablish the effect Of feeding refuse sug-
ar to milk COWS. 1t was found that
the substance could be used proitably
when fed with regular grain and hay
rations, but, everything considered, it
was concluded that linseed cake was @
better feed.
Study Grain Composition.
A study of the composition Of our
common feeds will richly repay our
dairymen, says Farm Progress. There
is no good sense in feeding two grains
that are practically the same in COM
position and differ only in appearance.
One must be the cheaper Yet many
farmers have never given thought to
this matter.
Maintaining Milk Flow.
The dairy farmers who make the
most out of the seasons work are those
who have the best cows and who buy
bran, middlings or other feed il it is
necessary to keep up the flow of milk
and the nervous strength and power Of
the cows 1t is easier to maintain
steady flow than to bring a COW back
to full flow after she has once fallen
off. Better buy little feed and main
tain good flow than to save Feed at
the expense of the milk flow
