Diseased Cattle for SLAUGHTER.

A deliberate attempt to send car
load of diseased cattle for slaughter
in New York was recently foiled by
the State Agricultural Department.
Word was received of the shipping of
the stock and the car was intercepted
in the railroad yards in New York
by the departments agents. Of
twenty COWS found in the car, three
were in a dying condition, and soon
expired Eight others were suffering
from advanced tuberculosis, and at
least three from pneumonia. 1t was
also learned that several others of
the herd had died at Utica before
they could be transferred to the car
on the New York train. 1t is intend
ed to prosecute the shipper of the cat
tie.

Every houseKeeper should know
that if they will buy Defiance Cold
Water Starch for laundry use they
will save not only time, because it
never sticks to the iron, but because
each package contains 16 Ozone full
pound-while all other Cold Water
Starches are put up in p pound pack
ages, and the price is the same. 10
cents. Then again because Defiance
Starch is free from all injurious chem
icals. If your grocer tries to sell you
a 1907. package it is because he has
a stock on hand which he wishes to
dispose of before he puts in Defiance.
He knows that Defiance Starch has
printed on every package in large let
tiers and figures "16 ozs." Demand De-
fiance and save much time and money
and the annoyance of the iron stick

Spring and Eastertide.

There is widespread belief that spring
keeps company with Eastertide. that when
Easter is late we shall have a late breaking
up Of the winter. This accounts. 1t is most
likely, for the prophecies already had of a
late spring this year. Easter Sunday comes
very nearly at as late a date as possible,
that is on April o.
But the prophets have failed to notice
that the Easter moon. upon which, of
course, the question of the weather is like
ly to turn, comes early this year. There Is
a full moon On March p. The rule Is that
Easter Is the Sunday next after the full
moon falling on or after March p. Astro-
nomically. however, the moon will be full
few hours before March 81 comes In,
which throws the celebration a month later
This is the regular third Easter moon of
the year, which sometimes falls two or
three weeks later. So that no one need
anticipate a late spring on that account this
year
On the contrary. the men Of the Canadian
woods, who have an intense interest in the
matter declare that we shall have tunless
all signs faiD a stormy February, and an
early breakup in March. But an early
spring does not necessarily mean an enjoy
able spring 1t ought to be noticed.
1t will be remembered perhaps that the
predictions of the wOOdsmen last fall re-
garding the present winter were fulfilled
infinitely. The same authority now says
that we have only little more than
month of cold weather to look forward to,
and then-Spring.

CHAMPION BILLIARDIST
Conklin Now Heads the Amateurs in
This Country.

Charles F. Conklin Of Chicago, winner Of
the national amateur championship billiard
tournament and Of the high prize. added
the high single trophy to his list of prizes
by defeating f. v. Gardner Of Passaic, n.

Chicago Saturday night by 300 to 263.
Conklin's average was 1888 and Gard
ners 1898.
The winning Of the amateur billiard
championship by Charles F. Conlelin of
Chicago is the result of merit and unwav-
ering persistency The man who won first
place in the amateur tournament just fin
name engraved on the Eagle cup had not
for moment ceased to abandon hope of
one day winning the amateur champion

been a regular participant In the tourna-
ments and often disappointed, falling to
reach the top. But encouragement never
came with disappointment. and the quiet
stolid thick-set westerner with the bulldog
laws has been such cheerful, game loser
that his victory now Is very popular
Conklin took part in the A. A. U. tourna-
ments at the Knickerbocker Athletic Club
New York and later in the last three tour
naments of the N. A. A. B.; one at the
Hanover Club. New York one at the Lie

PROCEEDINGS TO BE TAKEN.
The Rock Island Road Charged With
Obstructing Kaw River.

Secretary Taft and General Mackenzie,
chief of engineers, have presented the case
of the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific
Railroad Company for alleged violation of
the provisions of the river and harbor act
approved March, 1899, for the protection of
the naNigable waters of the United States,
to Attorney General Moody for procedure
under the statute. The proceeding Is test
case and results from the action of the rail-
road company in reconstructng its bridge
across the Kaw river at Kansas City,
thereby, 1t is said. obstructng the naviga-
ton Of that, stream. During the great flood
of 1903 about seventeen bridges at Kansas
City were washed away or badly damaged
and 1t has been represented to the War De-
partment that the rebuilding of these
bridges is a menace to the city, as their
presence is likely to result in damage and
disaster in any serious rising of the river.
The opponents to the reconstruction OF the
bridges made a case against the bridge OF
the Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific rail-
road and alleged that the original structure
had been built without authority of law.
The statute provides that any corporation
convicted of obstructing navigable stream
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor
and punished by a fine of not exceeding
So, 500. or in the case of a natural person, by
Imprisonment not exceeding one year, or
by both fine and imprisonment, In the dis

Rig Flocks of Starved Ducks.

Residents Of Oneonta. N. Y. have had the
novel experience. in the intense cold of the
last few days, of gathering wild ducks by
the score by simply picking them off the
ice on the river fats. where they had fallen
benumbed and half-starved through being
cut Off from food. The plight of the ducks
was first discovered by two farmers boys
They quickly spread the news. and resi-
dents of the locality gathered in numbers
and picked up the ducks without difficulty
In some Instances the ducks were killed
and served in savory roasts and stews to
vary the monotOny Of the winters diet of
buckwheat cakes and salt pork. Younger
folks have found delight In keeping the
birds In confinement In an effort to do
inesticate them. The Hudson river and the
ponds and streams near its banks are COW
cred for miles with a thick coating Of ice.
The ducks circle vainly about searching for
an open place to feed. Finally they settle
slowly to the ground. unable to rise again.
Instances are not uncommon where duck
has been found helpless from cold and hun
ger but the oldest river man does not re-
member when such fate had overcome
whole dOcks.
