ESTABLISHED IN 1868
MR.. BARN|TZ'
FINE HENNERY
Will Propagate Thorough
bred Single-Combed
White Leghorns.

The handsome residence of Rev. G..
NJ. Barnitz. South Danville, is rapid
ly approaching completion and by
November lst, it is thought. it will be
ready for occupancy. A conspicuous
feature of the establishment is the
large and finely planned hennery III
therear, which just now is receiving a
coat of paint.
AS indicated by the buildi ng Mr..
Barnitz is a chicken fancier and in
tends to enter upon the raising of
chickens on very large scale. 1t
would be a mistake, however. to fancy
that he intends to enter into competi-
tion with the farmers, raising chick
ems of the common breed for killing
In the first place he will devote him
self to the propagation of the choicest
and most expensive breeds of fowls,
which will find a ready sale among
chicken fancieFs and farmers who de-
sire to improve theirIbreed of fowls.

and these will likewise be disposed of
at advantage for breeding purposes.
The hennery alone is well worth a
visit. 1t is built according to modern
and most approved ideas and is un-
doubtedly without parallel anywhere
in this section. 1t consists of two
wings one story high with a central
building 18x18 feet and two stories
high. Each wing is seventy-five feet
two divisions. Walls and ceiling are
plastered and the floor is of cement.
One of the wings faces the east and
the other the south. There are numer
Gus windows, which admit abundant
sunlight.
In the central building there is a
we'll by the side of which a gasoline
engine and force pump will be in
stalled. The second story, which COM
mands view of both wings of the
hennery, will be eventually occupied
| by a watchman.
Mr.. Barnitz, who is occupying the
VanNostrand homestead pending the
completion of his new dwelling, has a
| fine lot of choice fowls on hand. These
are all thoroughbred single comb
white leg horns, commonly called EGG
machines because of their wonderful
capacity for laying. There are one
hundred hens and the same number of
roosters. On November lst these will
all be installed in the wing facing the
south.
The other wing will be used for the
| incubators and the "brooders". The
| first incubators will be set about Jan
uary 1st By June 18th all the chick
ems will be Matched, at which time Mr..
Barnitz expects to have at least 1000
fowls on hand. One half of these will
have TO be sold in order to get the
number of pullets required for the
| next season.
Mr.. Barnitz is thoroughly posted on
all that relates to the propagation of
fancy breeds of chickens and every
thing will be conducted in scientific
manner. To promote health among the
fowls portion of the hennery will be
set apart as hospital" " To inspire
terror i'll the minds of chicken thieves

the premises at night. A dog with a

yesterday left York by express for
South Danville. He is an old fashion
ed bull dog, which was on exhibition
at the dog show at Richmond, Va. +,

LOSE DIAMONDS
ON HILL STREET
slip of woman's Fingers just as the
Street sweepers Are Approaching
and Gems Are seen eIitterlns
Through the Dust

Somewhere on Hill street, north Of
Fifth. q diamond ring worth at least
S75 is peeping at some fortunate finder.
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis G. Roessler of
Washington, d. c., spent an hour last
night searching for 1t.
They found two other rings which
they had lost. but the third, In this
instance, failed to prove charm and
still lies somewhere on the dust-swept
street or walk.
Unfortunately, shortly after the ring
was lost q corps Of street sweepers
passed along Hill street. whirling the
dust gutterward, and the ring may
have sunk into oblivion in the sweep
ings On the other hand, 1t may Turk
in n crevice in the sidewalk.
Mrs. Roesser had the rings over her
gloved fingers, and is inclined to think
that becoming chilled from riding In an
open car in the heavy wind her fingers
relaxed their senstiveness and the
jewelry slipped off her fingers as she
traversed Hill street from Fifth EN-
route to her hotel
Immediately after noticing the loss
the couple retraced steps and found
first one and then the other ring.
Some pedestrian had evidently
stepped on one of the rings, which had
a circlet with three stones affixed, and
one of the diamonds became loosened.
This diamond was picked up by Mr..
Roessler glittering ip the dust some
feet away.
Men with lanterns and young and
old passers by formed a volunteer
searching party last night, but failed
to find clue to the Jewel.

Take Care of Him.
self

S. ]. Jones, painter living at 500 East
Thirty-frst street, was struck by a
southbound Moneta avenue car about Z
o'clock yesterday morning and was
badly bruised about the head and
shoulders.
He had just alighted from a north
bound Moneta avenue car, and when he
reached the rear of the car in crossing
the street he was hit by the south
bound car passing on the opposite track.
Passengers who were on the car which
struck Jones say that the car crew left
the injured man lying on the sidewalk,
where they placed him until they
searched for twenty minutes or more
among the passengers for witnesses.
He was then put on the northbound car
and taken to the receiving hospital.
Fortunately the mans injury was not
dangerous. Otherwise the long delay
before he was given medical attendance
might have resulted fatally to him.

CHICAGO, Nov. 17.--If the plans of
Chicago's new municipal judges ma
terialize the city probably will have
magistrates sitting in every police dis
tfict In the city at every hour Of the
day or night.
This innovation will remove one of
the strongest incentives for policemen
to avoid making arrests. Under the
present system If policeman arrests
a. man at night he must remain in
the police station until the case is
disposed Of
With night sessions of the police
court the prisoner will be arraigned
immediately and II he secures a con-
tinuance It will be to another night
court. This will give the patrolmen
ample opportunity to sleep and will
remove the incentive to free guilty
persons.
Chief of Police Collins will appear
at the meeting Of the new justices
next Monday and speak in favor of
the night courts in every quarter of
the city.

tween $4,000 and $4,000 belonging to the
Bank of Walker.

sixty-eight days the steamer was prac-
tically at the mercy Of the waves and
ice and in that time covered only 200
miles.
Blades Of Propeller Lost
Contact with the ice broke away two
blades of her propeller and sternpost
and also carried the foremast over

were damaged.

the voyage south. A little fine weather
followed and then another storm came
on. The statement was made that II

structed the expedition would have
come to grief.
After battling with the elements ten
days Cape York was reached and then,
coal having run short, an attempt was
made to continue under sail. This
failed.
In October a hurricane started the
Jury rudder, which had been rugged,
and few days later the rudder broke
away and another had to be rigged.
Hebron was reached on October IL,
where some wood was secured, but
this soon gave out and fittings were
used for fuel. At Hopedale, which was
reached next, more wood and a few
tons of coal were secured, the latter
from the steamer Virginia Lake.

her captain.
This coal enabled the Roosevelt,
which had now become so battered that
she could steam only four knots an
hour, to reach Battle harbor.
Peary brought back 300 musk OK and
other skins. several domesticated
wolves, ten Esquimaux dogs, boat
that was used in the polar expedition
of 1S72-73 and some cartridges brought
by the same expedition.
Peary's present plan is to take on
coal when he reaches Sydney and sail
at once for New York.
He says he has not given up hope of
reaching the pole, but his next pur-
pose is an exploration of Labrador.
For this project he has already in his
possession a model of a steamer which
he will have built.

Hardships Of His Trip to the Frozen
North Briefly Summarized
in a Dispatch from
Sydney
BY Associated press.

BY Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov 17.-In a special
from Sydney, Nova Scotia, the World
today gives some details of hardshps
endured by Commander Peary and his
men in the futile rush for the north
pole.
After reaching the most extreme
Greenland settlement 1t is stated,
twenty Esquimaux and one hundred
dogs were secured and then, taking
the ice, the steamer Roosevelt drifted
on and steamed through the barrier of
1921 degrees north, where winter quar-
ters were taken up, being the farthest
north winter quarters in the history of
arctic exploration.
Arrangements to secure the ship and
make all comfortable were completed
by February Z, 1906, and on that day
Peary, with his Esquimaux and three
teams of dogs, made his start for the
pole.
Other parties also went out in charge
of Captain Bartlett, DR.. wolfe r. G.
Maroin, ]. Clarke and M. Ryan, re-
spectively.
These were relief parties and they
were kept fifty miles apart.
During the first part of the journey
moderate weather prevailed and Peary
made good speed. Before his return to
his ship III days later, however, con-
ditions changed and terrible suffering
from hunger and privation was en-
dured.

he reached the farthest point ever
reached by man. S706 north latitude,

age the food supply had almost given

his lost course, but before he sue

Esquimaux mad, and Peary was COM
PEELED to kill some of his dogs.
The commander enjoyed the luxury
of dog meat equally as well as his
Esquimaux. When Peary returned to
the ship only three dogs out of seven
teen remained, fourteen having been
eaten. Musk oxen and deer killed on
the road by Esquimaux helped the fam
ished men.
Clarke, with one of the relief parties
also went astray and he was compelled
to kill some Of his dogs to provide
food. Clarke, it appears, was unable
to find his way back. but Peary luckily
came across his tracks and went to
Clarke's rescue. Clarke, it is stated,
has not yet recovered from his trying
experience.
One of the other relief parties also
suffered but all went through the or
deal with heroic fortitude. Ryan's
party ran short of food and had to eat
some of the dogs.

SHE SAVED PUSSY.
"Ding Dong Bell''-Minot Girl Pulls
Cat From Separator.

The Minot Reporter tells of the act
OF young society girl OF that city in
saving a poor pussy cat from death
in the following:
Regardless of the dirt and smut,
totally unheeding of the projecting
cogs and pins, a leader in Minot So
cietys circles, toilsomely climbed up
and into large separator the other
evening to save the life of a small
kitten that had been thrown into the
blower hole by cruel young boys.
EARLY in the evening the kitten had
been discovered by crowd of thought
less youngsters who were playing
around an exhibition separator. Either
with malicious intent or thoughtlessly
they picked up the tiny animal and
threw 1t into the midst of the chan
nels and holes that characterize that
machine.
THE kitten slipped and fell landing
in the blower of the machine, a posi-
ton from which it could not eXtricate
itself.
Later in the evening it's pitiful
cries and feeble scratchings were
heard by young lady passing by.
Not thinking of the inches of dirt and
dust that covered the machine and
with small thought for the treacherous
projections SO liable to catch and tear
her garments. the would-be rescuer
climbed slowly up onto the machine
and after some little search and no
little trouble, located the opening
through which the little cat had
slipped.
With infinite pains she reached
down the hole but the kitten mistak-
ing her motions, backed up against
the wall of the compartment and she
was unable to reach it.
"A brilliant idea flashed into the
head of the young lady. Untying her
string necktie which was several feet
Ions. she dropped it through the
crevice and by subtle motions at
traced the kittens attention. Ever
playful the animal reached for the
wiggling end, firmly fastening it's
claws into the material A few gen.
tie jerks and it was within arms
reach, when the frightened feline was
successfully conveyed to terra firma.
The spirit shown by this simpl.
act Is what makes life easy and were
there more of 1t. this sphere would
not be filled with zone half of the
pain it now is subject to.

the new ones are of the best quality.
Practically all of them are high school
graduates or hold preliminary stand
ards equal to high school diploma.

this school and the merit Of the pupils
sent out attest the value of the plan.

PURE MILK WANTED.
Plans Adopted at Fargo Might Work
Well Locally.

Fargo Is making every effort to in
sure the purity OF the mily supply
furnished residents and as this all-im-
portant question has been taken up in
this city, the following from a recent
issue of the Fargo Call is of interest:
Under the supervision of DR.. Dun
ham every dairy that furnishes milk
for Fargo consumption has been in
spected and brand of approval
placed on all that fill the require
ments, while the rest will in the near
future get things in shape so that
everything will he satisfactory for the
people who pay for what is supposed
to be entirely pure milk.
There were in all 1871 diaries from
which milk was brought to this city,
scattered over wide territory, and
1850 cows have been examined in
those places. There are still the
towns west of here on the n. P. to
be covered and it is thought that by
the time that all OF the work has
been completed there will have been
in the neighborhood of 5000 cows
examined
by carrying on this work the res
idents of the city are assured that
the product they get is pure and
wholesome as we'll as harmless. Any
fears of buying the chalk variety will
be dwispelled as everyine will know
that they are getting their moneys
worth in every instance. The work
will be recognized as very extensive
when the large number of animals is
considered. Few realized that there
was such consumption of the pro-
duct as exists in Fargo. When the
work is completed there will be in
the neighborhood of one COW for every
five residents of Fargo which would
indicate that the people We're getting
back to wholesome food.
