Poultry and Game.

The Poultry market was slenderly supplied
and firm under steady call for all descrip-
tfons, particularly large young chickens and
Hens. Fryers and live Turkeys were quoted
higher. The days receipts of domestic stock
were only 36 coops and there was no Western
received All indications point to a firm mar
ket for the balance of the week, as it is ex-
pected that the receipts from the West win
be light and the storm will hold back shipments
from domestic points. Game in demand,
owing to the scarcity of Poultry, and some
kinds of Wild Ducks were higher.

the estate.
These lawyers have been at
work on the case quite a long time
and after two trips across the sea
have at last reached a poin of alb
solute certainty.
Solomon Fisher, Mrs. Hawkins S
grandfather, was a German noble
man, who violated the pOaching
law ard was forced to flee the
Fatherland. He came to America
and settled in Kentucky, where he
remained throughout his life.
His llotl Cr IL d SiStu all dying
in Germany, he was left the sole
heir to an estate valued at Sill
600, 900. He did not dare to re-
tnrn to his native country for
fear of punishment for his former
offense and spent his days in Amer
lea.
Since his death, some time ago,
his heirs have been steadily
working on the case and now be-
lieve no further difficulty will be
encountered in establishing their
clients rights to the estate.
Doctor J. B. Hawkins, as soon
as he RECEIVERS from his present ILL
ness, will make, in company with
one of the lawyers, a trip to Ger.
many, with the necessary papers
and documents to substantiate all
claims.
Mrs. Hawkins has a brother and
sister who will each receive a like
portion.

That Farmers Petition.


We quote the comments below
from the Ccntralia Guard:
A farmer living in Audrain
county claims he is circulating a
petition to get the farmers of Au-
drain county 20 boycott Mexico be-
cause they won't let him spit on
the sidewalks. What kind of Il.
man is this who would violate the
laws of city! This anti.spitting
ordinan ce is to protect the people
OF The country as well as the city
from disease, as it has been de.
mOnstrated that the dirt stirred up
by peoples feet will carry the
germs of disease in the air, and
the walks, being dry, are more IL
able to spread germs than the
streets. Too stringent laws cannot
he made or enforced regarding
splitting in public places, and the
larger cities are just awakening to
the danger of this practice. a pub
lie stairway is greater menace to
the public health than any disease,
unless the anti.spitting ordinance
is enforced, as PERSONS head is 50
close to the filth upon the steps that
each step in stirring up this dust
fills the lungs or nOstrils with
these disease germs.
The anti.spitting ordinance is
merely prccaution against this
danger and incidentally to prevent
human hogs from turning the pub
ic places into wallows of tobacco
spit.
Those who do not wish to abide
by laws necessaSy to the protection
of the public are better out of
town than in it.
