Goats as Brush. Killers.

Experience differs with the Angora
goats. Some people who have tried
them seem to have difficulty in keep
ing them within bounds or inducing
them to clear off brush as thoroughly
as desired Others, including quite
number of New England farmers, find
the goats we'll worth while as brush
clearers, and also have more or less
call for the young stock, from those
who intend to start new aocks, says
Massachusetts Ploughman.
One Sof the largest herds in this
vicinity was established by a Boston
newspaper man, L. N. Cuchman. at
his country home in Hubbardston,
Mass. The flock, started about two
years ago with two hundred goats
from New Mexico, has since then
doubled in numbers besides furnish
ing quite a number of surplus goats
which have been sold They are kept
with the idea of reclaiming hundreds
Of acres of rough and bushy land which
is included in the farm. They feed out
of doors all summer and as long as
the ground is free from snow, requir-
ing very little other food than what is
obtained from browsing.
In the winter they are fed on millet
hay and other forage and allowed to
browse more or less outside the sheds
which are provided for them. v. The
flock consumes a ton of rock salt
yearly. Trained collie dogs are used
TO guard the flock, performing the
work very much the same as with
sheep.
Another young farmer located a few
miles out of Boston has a herd of
only a dozen Angoras, which, for their
limited number, are doing good work
in sproutland They are enclosed by
movable fences of woven wire four
feet high and given a fresh pasture
every day. They consume the growth
very thoroughly, as far as they go,
clearing the ground more completely
than goats usually do when given free
range. They get their living entirely
from this food with but little trouble
to their owner, except to shift the
fence and enclose new land. The goats
will be followed by cows after grass
has become established.

Dr. Osler has hard row to hoe II

his chloroforming theory, for Andrew
Carnegie has come to the aid of one
class of men above 60 years old and
has provided a fund for their support
This class of men is decidedly one
needy of support-the worn out,
and worked out college pro-
fessor. The announcement, made
yesterday, that Mr.. Carnegie has
provided fund of $10,OO0,00O for the
support Of those college professors
who are unable to continue the active
work of teaching, no doubt brought
Joy to many a worthy man, rich in

are not wealthy. While here and there

eral rule. 1t would seem that ability

EirZAuGA LEE.

Veteran of two wars and warrior or
two nations, beloved by north and
south and honored everywhere, Fitz-
hugh Lee was called by death almost
without warning. Yesterday he started
from Boston for Washington and was
apparently in good health. Before he
had left the state Of Massachusetts,
he was stricken with apoplexy and
died a few hours afterward in Wash
ington hospital.
Fitzhugh Lee will be mourned sin
cerely in every part of the country His
record as brave man and conscien-
tious citizen Is one all might well
strive to emulate. Though he was a
southerner and confederate officer
during the civil war, it was because
he thought that course was right, and
name after that memorable four years
struggle, it was entirely effaced dur
ing the Spanish-American war.
Fftzhugh Lee, a member Of the his
toric Virginia family of Lees was born
in Fairfax county, Va, in 1885. His
grandfather was the famous Light
Horse Harry probably the most bril-
liant name in the annals of the family.
He was a graduate of West Point of
the class of 1856 In the old army he
was an officer of the Second cavalry.
In 1860 he was made instructor of cav.
airy at West Point.
In 1851 he resigned and entered the
confederate army serving until Sep.
TENDER of that year as adjutant gen.
eral Of Ewell's brigade. He was then
made lieutenant colonel of the First
Virginia cavalry and in July 1862, was
raised to the rank OF brigadier gen
eral.
In September, 1863, he became a
major general. In March 1865, he was
| placed in command of all the cavalry
of the army of northern Virginia.
| After the war, he followed the wise
conservative policy advocated by his
illustrious uncle, Gen. Robert e. Lee
and attracted wide and favorable at
tention by speech which he de
livered at Bunker Hill in 1874.
During the interval between the civil
war and his active work in the
Spanish-American war General Lee
filled a number of important positions
including the governorship of Virginia
the presidency of the Pittsburg anc
Virginia railroad, the collectorship Of
internal revenue for the Lynchbure
district, and the consul generalship al
/ avana.
Following his honorable discharge
from the volunteer army II
1901, Gen. Lee was appointed to the
regular army February II, 1901, witt
the rank of brigader general, and will
this rank he was retired in the March
following.
Gen. Lees fatal attack is attributed
largely to his activity in behalf of the
military and naval review which is tt
be held in the vicinity Of jamestown
/ Va. His heart and soul had been il
the work and he labored zealously tt
make it a success

THE CARNEGIE ROMANCE.

New York Press.-Cupid's persistent
attack on the social barriers between
lovers has had some conspicuous sue
cesses in recent years. The case of a
coachman who ran away with his rich
employers daughter less than twenty
years ago was sometimes regarded as
a national scandal. An occurrence
something Of the kind has raised only
passing ripple, although the bride

the two or three richest Americans
Andrew Carnegie closes the pretty in

cause, the condition remains, and Mr.
Carnegie's fund will find much work to

Mr.. Carnegie's gift will be appre-
ciated, not only by the beneticiaries,
but by the general public. 1t brings up
just at this time, however. the ques-
ton which has been agitating DR..

less well known, but whose
voices are as loud. The tainted

ing a great deal of attention, and even

says. "He has earned it, and why

is really the sensible way to look al
the question. Why lot call off all this
quarreling, accusation and denial Of

LIEI THE QUARANTINE.

Iowa and the other states of the
Mississippi valley are losing some of
their best farmers because they are
tired of being quarantined by mud
three months in the year and are NOV
ing to other states In the south and
west, where good roads have lifted
that quarantine" said Wellington e.
Loucks, representative of the govern
ment good roads bureau and of the
international Good Roads association,
when addressing meeting of citizens
at the Wapello club this morning. Mr.
Loucks brought to Ottumwa an offer
to help this city and this county to
lift the quarantine that is annually
causing real financial loss to the bust
ness interests of the community. and
it is probable that the meeting of to-
day, though a small one, will result
in one of the most beneficial and pro-
gressive movements ever started in
Ottumwa.
For what could be Of more benefit to
business interests of every class than
good roads? The question has been
threshed through and through so often
that it is useless here to detail the
many reasons why the country roads
should be made better and kept in
better shape. There is no argument
! against the proposition and especially
is this true now that scientific road
building has been brought to such a
stage and system that the cost of a
really model road is but little more
than the cost of maintaining dirt

FOLK is DOOMED

II Is 100 DdQ, DuC IL just as true as
gospel. If Governor Joe Folk tries to
enforce the Walmsley law, one of the
reform bills recently passed by the
state legislature of Missouri and
signed by the executive, his political
sun will have started on its descent
down the western sky toward hori-
zon of oblivion. never more to rise
again. Mr. Folk started nicely, and it
is pity to see an ambitious candidate
for honors as democratic martyr sac
rificed at so early a stage in the game.
What is the Walmsley law" do you
ask? That is the same question that
will be asked by Missouri fashion
leaders, too, when the law is enforced,
If the governor and his aides ever get
enough courage to try to enforce it.
The Walmsley law, parading under the
cloak of game protection, Is nothing
more nor less than statute prohibit
Ing the daughters of the "show me
state" from wearing on their hats the
plumage of birds. Of course, the Eng
lish sparrow, the mud hen and a few
other prosaic fowls are not on the
tabooed list. but who would want to
do up" her hair in any of the modern
fashionable designs and then don hat
adorned with the plumage of either of
these birds? And yet, the Walmsley
law, unchallenged and without the
slightest trouble, went through the
Missouri legislature and was signed
and approved by Governor Folk with
out being once met with a set of reso-
lutions from a woman's club. Appar-
emily the wives of the legislators who
ut 1off AZ
sion were kept in ignorance of the true
nature of the bill when it was being
put through the various stages. But
now that the secret is out it matters
not that all the legal requirements
have been met by the friends of the
bill. The women of Missouri will not
abide by such law. At any rate,
they will not if they are like the
women of Iowa and other states
i Woman's supreme lack of understand
ing will make it impossible for her to
see any special need of obeying rule
just because it is backed by the word
law.
For who can be found, in all the
state of Missouri, who will have the
temerity to approach society queen
as she is leaving her, carriage at her
friends door to make an afternoon
call. and. begging pardon for the
| bother, ask her whether the bright
| feathers on her hat are those of a
sparrow or robin, or perhaps an orr
ole? What officer of the law, when
assigned to a case of that kind, would
not rather become a Weary Willie and
give IN his star and brass buttons
Governor Folk, reformer Of reformers
is bound to be thwarted, and by that
agency than which nothing is stronger
"a woman's whim. He will face a two
horned dilemma and nut needs either
enforce the horrid law himself or al
low it to go unnoticed. In the first case
he is sure to run against a harder
proposition than when he exposed the
graft IN st. Louis. and in the othel
case he must admit that as reformel
he is not complete success. Either
course will be bad one-Too, bad
too bad.

The people of Ottumwa and those of
Wapello county outside the city should

the good roads movement be taken up

city improved. This statement is
made without any fear of contradic-
tion because 1t has proven true with
regard to other cities and therefore
can be proven true with regard to OF

Saturday, May 81. A convention with
probably three sessions will be held in

including Hon. Martin Dodge, the head

several others who are among the

the country. Excursions will be run tc
