 Republican League.

. at s4 Es t J
 The cabinet is branching out, not re- stricted to the narrow lines of the days prior to the important and long-neglect- cd department of agriculture. This last named department, which has in it's short period of service worked such won- ders, is not yet 20 years old. A corre- spondent of the Brooklyn Eagle says concerning it's work: Although it was only F years ago when agriculture got this recognition (place in the cabinet), how has the importance of that recogni- ti0n to the farmer been demonstrated? The scientific farmer has taken the place of the old-time plodder, and al- most his every interest, from the pro- tection of the roots of his,plants against bugs tp the utilization of the autumn leaves that fall from his trees, has been

WEALTHY
 PARENTS.
But this Son Wanted
 More.
Valuable Papers and Jew. els Said to Have Been Stolen by Him-Big Re. ward Offered by Losers.

New York, May 31-Offers of a $1O,- GOO reward are published here to-day for the return of a packet of letters said to have been stolen from private safe in the home of wealthy and so- cially prominent New York family whose name probably will never be mentioned in connection with the af- fair unless scandal should arise from an expose of the letters contents.
 Incidentally it is hoped to recover $6O,OOO worth of jewels and many thousand dollars worth of stock cer- tffcates which were stolen at the same time as the letters, but, in com parison with the latter, the loss of the 1ewelry is considered Insignificant Every effort lias been made to keep the theft secret. Some time between March 3l and few days ago an old fashioned mahogany treasure box was stolen from safe, where it had for many years held the most valuable of the possessions of the women members of the family. I
 scandal in the form of family skeleton hidden for fifteen years from the head of the household is said t., have formed the basis of the theft, which is believed to have grown out of new romance in the family. The de- tectives at work on the case say they confidently believe that the son of the household is the thief for whom they are seeking. He is only about 23 years old, graduate of one of the leading universities and well known figure at the social functions of the younger set.
 His motive is believed to be the ne- cessity of maintaining the appearance of having large income during his engagement to a wealthy young woman in society. His own family are op- posed to the match and hnve Iimite,s his allowance, hence his desire to se- cure funds.
 The suspected man left town some time ago, but he is under close sNrveil. lance and the detectives believe that the offer of the rich reward just made will procure the return of the letters. The contents of these missives is not known even to the detectives in tile case.

 This horninf.

Hartford. May 31.-Bills concerning the supervision of schools, were dis cussed by the Farmers association this morning. Representative Warner of Woodbridge said that one of them contained joker" In that no town could appoint a superintendent of schools without the approval of the state board of education. The Atwood bills were again discussed, several members expressing their views on the matter. the prevailing sentiment being against the appeal of the present law.

Senator Judson of the twenty-fifth dis trict attempted 10 kill the main feature of the bill by an amendment which was lost by a vote of 16 to 3. At the con cIusIon of the voting Senator Donovan gave notice that he would move reconsideration of the bill tomorrow. Senator Paige then to formally dispose of the matter moved to reconsider immediate ly and Senator Donovan before the motion could be put moved to adjourn This motion was defeated as was Sena tor Paiee's motion to reconsider.

pen and as the time for each to be deprived of it's plumage arrives, that particular ostrich has a black sack slipped over it's head. It is then coax cd into small box like arrangement where it is practically helpless and with the sack over it's head. thus blinding it. the bird is very docile. The smaller of the feathers are removed by pulling them out, but the larger and more valuable ones are clipped off within an inch or two of the skin. In the course of two months after the operation these quills are removed, which is called "quilling." Some of the birds were quiIled yesterday and others plucl1ed. Both operations were gone through for the benefit of the spectators. The second point of sue cess was in the yield of feathers. Many of the birds though young. were heav- fly feathered and the plucking was satisfactory to the owners of the flock. The feathers in tho raw state are worth about S20 per pound, and it was estimated that most of the birds plucked yesterday would average a pound a piece

WORKED OUT OF A JOB.

Justice Nelson made his quarterly report yesterday and it is an unusual one for one particular reason. Some people have an idea that the justices
 office is a lucrative one and in many instances it is, but in this instance it is very apparent that if MT. Nelson
 depended altogether on the fees he receives as justice of the peace. him
 self and family would oft go hun gry. His report for this quarter shows that he has received in fees an av- craze Of S11 per month for the three months of the quarter. That is a very small amount compared with other reports that have preceded this one and Mr. Nelson explains the difference as follows: When he took the office there were a number of people here who made it Q point to go on a spree about every so often. They were ar rested and brought before the justice and fined a small sum, perhaps five or ten dollars. Getting eff thus easy
 they again soon repeated the offense and were fined the usual amount. It finally became a habit with them and they were satisfied. believing that the pleasure they derived was worth the fine. The present justice decided 70 put a stop to it. He did not take the office for what there was in it, and the sooner he stopped these petty offend CTS the better. The first time one of i them appeared before him the usual fine was inflicted. The second offense brought about double that amount and the third was so great the guilty party seldom tried it again. The re- suit is that the town has been a model for good behavior. There has not been single caSa in court Ha,a since the 26th of February. and it ! looks as if the justice had worked ! himself out Of a job for good and all
