BALANCED FOOD FOR SWINE.
While our hogs get plenty OF corn
we go to considerable effort to furn-
ish them variety in the rations and
try to give it to them in such way
that it forms a balanced ration. We
are believers in considerable soft food
lu4 swine and consider a ration CT
wheat middlings and gluten meal with
a small portion of process oil meal
a feed that VII keep them in good
weight and in the finest condition.
These grains are mixed thoroughly
and then skim milk is used SO that
the mass is about like thin po-ridge.
This our hogs get twice daily with
corn on the cob for the third meal,
and something in the way of root
crops or good kitchen slop in which
is mixed vegetable and fruit parings
for the in-between meal. This is the
food during the summer Except that
the corn is cut out) as well as during
the winter. The range takes the place
CT the third meal of slop and vege-
tables, but with these exceptions We
try to feed about the same the year
round and find that it pays.-lndlan'

ISTHNfIAN CANAL AFFAIRS
Senate Committee Resumes its Inves-
tigations-Cromwell Again Refuses
to Answer Questions.

Washington, June 10 -In defiance of
the order OF the senate committees on
~itner-oceanic canals that he answer
certain questions propounded to him
in the investigation of isthmian canal
affairs, William Nelson Cromwell re-
peated his refusals today. He stated
that the questions involved confiden-
tial relations with his client, the new
Panama canal company.
The questions were read to him by
Senator Morgan, and when the first
one was asked, which concerned the
first work he did for the Panama can-
al company in Americ., the witness
calmly took from his pocket a pre-
pared statement whic2 he proceeded
to read. He stated that his knowledge
of the subject under discussion was de-
rived in the course Of his professional
employment, and that he must decline
to disclose the interests of his en-
ployer concerning any private business
matters. In refusing, he said he did
so with the profundest respect for the
committee.
After going owe the previous record
at some length in order TO give the
witness another opportunity to answer,
the committee adjourned until next
Tuesday, without having concluded the
record.
The general impression is that the
question of Mr.. Cromwell's recalcitran-
cy will not be concluded by the COM
mittee in time to certify the case TO
the courts during this session of con-
gress, in the event 1t Is decided 10 car
~ the case that far.

A BRIDES DISAPPEARANCE
No News Yet of the AshevilIe Lady
Who Months Ago Married a Man
Now known to be a Bigamist.

There is now no doubt that the John
G. Cavenidsh who marrier Miss jose
phine Hood of Asheville at New Iberia
La, on December Is, and Lord Doug
lass alias C~avendish, alias Duncan are
n and the same person. This fact es-
t%ablished, the fears of Miss Hoods par
ents-rather Mrs. C~avendish's parents
% rthe safety of their daughter are
we'll founded. Cavend.sh or Douglass
or Duncan is wanted by the police of
more than n American city. He is q
bigamist several times over and withal
a swindler and would-be murderer.
Mrs. J. N. Hood, the mother of Miss
Josephine Hood, yesterday afternoon
positively identified a picture of the
bigamist, in possession of the police of
Asheville, as the man who married her
daughter last year. So.
Miss Josephine HOOD married Cav
endish at New iberia, La, in Deem
Der of last year after a three weeks
acquaintance. The couple left on their
honeymoon the day following the mar
riage and Miss Hood told her mother
that she and her husband were going to
Mexico, where her husband had large
fruit holdings and that the parents
should not expect a letter for three
weeks. Since that time not a line has
been heard from either Cavendish or
his wife and the family n friends
of the young woman have become
greatly alarmed for her safety. Upon
leaving New Iberia Mr.. and Mrs. Cav
endish gave their address as Vera
Cruz, Mexico, care of the American
consul, at that place. The parents
of the young woman have written 10
the American consul at Vera Cruz and

that Mr.. and Mrs. C~avendish have nev-
er called at the consulate. Letters ad-

TO AID SAN FRANCISCO
$12,OOO,OOO to be Deposited by the
United States Treasury-Bonds of
the City Will be Taken a. Security.

Washington, June ia tacit agree
ment was reached today by the pres
ident, Secretary Shaw and the delega-
ton of representative citizens Of San
Francisco, by which substantial aid
will be given San Francisco by the
government. 1t is proposed that the
United States treasury deposit with the
San Francisco banks $12, 900, 900 of
government money, with bonds of the
city as security for the deposit, the
money to remain with the banks until
such time as the government shall
call for it. This may not be for q
number of years, so that the banks
have practical assurance that they may
retain the deposit for such a period as
will be Of value in the reconstruction
of the city.
Under the law the secretary of the
treasury has authority to deposit gov
eminent funds in this way. He can
not, of course, bind his successor TO
leave the money ON deposit, but ne,
himself, may leave it there until it is
needed by the government. 1t Is pro-
posed in California to organize a COR
poration with a capital of several mil
lions Of dollars, composed Of prominent
and influential men throughout the
state of California and other states,
and to issue bonds to guarantee the
government against loss through the
banks.

An HOnOred Profession.

John Sharp Williams is said to be
considering Withdrawing from politics
to become professor of political history
and economy in the University of Vir-
ginia- Mr.. Williams is the democratic
leader in the house of representatives.
should the next house be democratic
he would probably be elected speaker.
the second NEST powerful Office in the
United States.
The salary of his p~rofessorship
Would be less than the salary OF his
present Office. His duties would have
less variety and excitement. There
would be no higher position TO look
onward to and no further public N
bitjon to crafty.
Yet the change would be easily I'M
Cerstood. A man with a love for
learning, with a desire to study The
problems of politics, might we'll seek
a change from the uncertainty and
the turmoil of active political life to
the semi eclusiOn of a university lee
ture room.
Mr.. Williams would only be follow
ing the example of other notable
southern men. The author Of the VII
son tariff bill returned from congress
to his college. General Robert E. Lee
sought tranquility after the civil war
in the presidency of another Virginia
college. Thomas Jefferson, who found
ed the University of Virginia, always
lOnged to drop the cares OF political
life and to give his time to DEVELOPING
the institution which was his chill.
There are than 10000, 900 stu
dents enrolled in the schools, unlyer-
sites and colleges Of the United
States. There are ha1f a million
teachers. Contrary to the popular i'm
preston, the common school enroll
ment in the southern states includes
a larger percentage of the population
than in New England. In re public
schools of Mr.. Williams own state.
Mississippi, there are so per cent more
school children in proportion to the
population than in New York.
What the United States will be
twenty years hence depends on the
training of the children of today. The
average period of school attendance is
less than EN- years. This month more
than 10000 900 children and youth will
close their school days. Every year
the army upon whom the doors Of
school education close forever is as
great as the maximum total of both
armies at any time in the civil war.
While the children are taught by
the teachers in ten of thousands of
schools the teachers themselves must
first be taught, and this duty of pre-
pairing the teachers is the task of most
Importance to our colleges and uni
versities.
1t is no stepping down that Mr.. Will
liams contemplates. 1t is no with
drawal from a higher Office to a place
of less degree. 1t would be his full
assumption of his share of a great re-
sponsibility which every American cit
izen should do his best to meet.-New

THE PRESIDENT WITH BLACK
BURR

The Blackburn men aye jubilant
the appointment Of George II. Brown
as collector of the western district.
The change was so significant that the
president saw fit I o telegraph MI.
Adams, chairman of the republican ex-
ecutive committee OF the state, his
reasons for turning down Collector
Harkins in this summary manner
Adams that Mr.. Harkins was dis
charged purely on account Of his rec
ord. When all of the inside facts are
considered this will be found 10 De a
greater victory for Mr.. Blackburn than
it appears upon the surface. In the
first place the president has seen fit
TO make an apology TO the other side
for his action, showing that he rec1g-
niZes the importance and the sjgnifi-
canoe Of his action, and n the next
place it will be remembered that sOnie
tEne .ag Mr.. Roosevelt personally
promised Mr.. Wagner that he would
give the marshalship of the western
district to- that gentleman and then
gave the appointment of Mr. Milliilin
for a third term. Mr.. Wagner IS Il
sOn-in-law Of Mr.. Brown, the new col
lector of internal revenue, and it is
said that the collector will not give
up his position as cashier of the
StatesviEle bank, but will turn the az
fairs of the collectors office over to
his son-ip-law. The collectorship is
a much more important and influential
Office than that of marshal. 1t is a
known fact that every deputy in the
service exceps one is a resident Of the
eighth congressional district. Thus, it
will be seen tGat Mr.. Blackburn has
fun control through his friends of the
internal evenue service of the western
district. The Rollins crowd are SO
taken aback by tle appointment Of
MI. Brown and realize so fully the eft
feet the presidents action will have
on the sentiment of the republicans Of
the state that they are already coz
sidering the question of getting a dec
laration from him that he has not
and will not take any part in the fac
tional fight ia this state, 5ust as he
did in regard to the party fight in
Iowa when Secretary Shaw tried 10
make it appear that he represented
the president in his attack on Gov
ernor Cummins, who is a candidate
for denomination by the republicans
and who is open in his advocacy OF a
revision of the tariff.
The appointment of Mr.. Brown has
stirred up the republicans of this state
as they have not been stirred in many
years. 1t shows that the administra-
is with Mr.. Blackburn and that
he will have it's influence in the fight
against the Rollins crowd.
