What farce that trial of the
beef packers was. They had crimi
nally violated the law and were in.
dicted on facts which Commission.
er Garfield secured in his investi.
CATION of the beef trust from their
books and their own statements.
At the trial they did not deny the
facts; they set up a plea of i'm.
munity because they had furnished
the information upon which they
were indicted, and that Commits
sioner Garfield had promised them
immunity for giving the same.
Judge Humphrey, before whom
they were tried. took the case out
of the hands of the jury and in.
structed it to return a verdict of
not guilty on the ground of i'm.
munity set up by the defense.
Now, all the government eau do is
to proceed against the trust as
corporations, and AS corporation
cannot be imprisoned, only fined,
for criminal violations of the law,
the moral effect of the conviction
would amount to nothing. What
are a few dollars to it! 1t eau pay
a fine with a very slight advance
in the price of its products-in
short, the already robbed CONSUMER
pays the fine. The individual
hiding behind the souless
goes free. Judge Hum.
phrey appears to have been all too
eager to take advantage of pre-.
ext, a fimsy legal technicality, to
Keep these rich criminals out of !
prison. If they had been common
aborers who were guilty of some
nfraction of the law or OF some
curt injunction, they would have
een sent to prison in short order.
We believe, in the light of the pro.
ceilings of our Federal Courts,
nat we are justified in this state

Senator Depew, the noted post.
prandial orator and humorous
story.teller, cannot be bad man
at heart. BY environ ent and the
loose moral code that permeates
the social and financial strata of
his life, he was caught with many
others in the recent life insurance
exposures. He has felt the disgrace
keenly, and either his pride or his
conscience brooding over the ex
posure has so shamed him that he
feared TO make his appearance in
the Senate or in public. He is
said to be greatly broken in health
and mentally, and is in seclusion
with his family on an estate on the
Hudson. Mccall, another of the
insurance exposure victims, sick
,ned and died, his death being has.
ened by the strain on his nerves.

WATER IN THE PAsTURAoE
Vital Importance of Having Fresh
Water and Plenty of It for
the Stock.

Few farms are provided with an
abundance of good, fresh water in
the pasture fields. Water may be OBJ
tanned in most farms without going
into very heavy expense. Cows re-
quire a great deal of water and they
should have it as fresh and pure as
possible Where water may be OBJ
tanned at a reasonable depth 1t is
economy to sink a well as near as
possible to the corners of four fields
A zig-zag fence and long trough
may be reached from each pasture,
or short pipe underground may be
used. Wind mills are cheaper for
pumping than any other power. A
small mill will keep the trough full
most of the time. The few days
when 1t is necessary to pump by
hand are just about sufficient to give
a man a correct idea of the value of
the mill, and he also can get a good
deal better idea of the amount OF
water the cows will drink. Cows
having water constantly before them
will drink a great deal more than they
will If Obliged to travel some dis
lance to get 1t, and they will give
more milk in proportion, says the
Standard Guide. A few pounds of
milk additional each day will easily
pay the interest on the cost of the

BOYS TERRIBLE ECZEMA,

when my little boy was six months
old, he had eczema. The sores extend
ed so quickly over the whole body
We then went to another doctor,
but he could not help him, and in our
despair we went to third one. Mat
tiers became so bad that he had regu-

to put a finger into. The food had to
be given with a spoon, for his mouth
was covered with crusts as thick as

mouth they began to bleed and sup.

PHILOSOPHICAL POINTS.

The fatted calf never loves, the
prodigal son.
Truth never runs around asking
people to believe it.
Alas, that fools are prosperous. Is
it their penalty or reward?
How many of us in listening to the
tomtoms forget the violins?
To think an original thought is to
take a step nearer the divine
People who need to be continually
propped up are not worth the prop.
When men become suddenly good
they should be executed Immediately.
1t is easier for some people to be-
lieve the impossible than the pos
sible.
Before it was thrown down, the
Golden Calf had son, and it is still
mooing around the world.

fully fathom the motives Of men one
must be man himself. To an idiot
to a lunatic-all men are either
idiots or lunatics.

Harvesting the Mississippi.

Work will be begun before the year
is out on dam across the Mississippi
river, at the foot of the Des Moines
rapids, for the development of water
power. 1t will be the greatest project
of the kind except the combined works
at Niagara, the dam the greatest in
the world except those built by the
British in the Nile. A minimum of
$4,000 horse power is to be obtained
and transmitted to factories in the
heart of the agricultural center of the
nation. The dam will be in sight of
the three states of Iowa, Illinois and
Missouri, the legislatures of each state
having adopted resolutions approving
the work and promising all possible
assistance. The estimated cost of the
work will be $6,OO0,000, which is 800
per horse power on the minimum pow
or capacity of 10000 horse power The
cost of supplying power, including all
fixed charges, maintenance, operation
and all expenses, is closely estimated
at eight dollars per horsepower-year,
the cost OF steam power in the terri
tory within 200 miles now being from
$40 to S65 per horsepower-year, with
S65 as conservative average.-The

PHYSICIAN SAYS
Children Thrive on Grape Nuts and
Cream.

A Mass. physician has found a cure
for constipation in children - citing
fifteen cases-by feeding them Grape
Nuts.
Some time ago. he writes, Il be-
came interested in your food, Grape
Nuts, as cure for constipation in
children. Having tried it in my own
family, 1 have advised it in fifteen
cases in which all suffered with con-
stipation more or less severe. The re-
suit has been absolute relief in all.
Il write this that other children
may be benefited"
How much better it is thus to bring
about a healthy action in the bowels
of growing children by natural means,
than to feed them with improper food
requiring some kind of cathartic at
intervals to overcome constipation.
Grape-Nuts gives energy to the en-.
tire nervous system including the
nerves that cause the natural con.
traction and relaxation of the bowel
muscles, that propel the food mass
along.
it is predigested also, and the blood
easily absorbs the food as it goes
through the body, storing up vitality
and force for the functions of all the
organs
Children especially, should get the
right start as to habits of living.
They should grow into bright, strong.
cheerful men and women. Grape-Nuts
solve the question of the start; a
wholesome appetite will do the rest.
Children's teeth are benefited by
9hewiag Grape-Nuts, also. Your dent.
.st viii tell you that a certain amount
of exercise in chewing firm food, is
necessary to grow strong, beautiful
teeth.
Teeth need exercise just the same
us muscles, If they are to grow
strong and firm as nature intended.
'raI e.Nuts gives the exercise and
'so gives material from which good
Goth are made.

HOG HELpS

Do not keep the hogs in one lot till
1t gets dusty.
A good sow in perfect health always
loses flesh while sucking a litter of
pigs and needs to be well fed.
Usually the hogs with coarse, straight
hair will not fatten near so rapidly as
the one with the soft, fine hair.
AS a rule aged brood sows are the
most prolific the best mothers and
produce the most vigorous offspring.
The thumps in pigs is often caused
by an excess of fat about the internal
organs and especially around the
heart
Every narrowing sow should have a
shelter to herself and be put in it in
time to get acquainted with her sur
roundings.
To make hogs most profitable a
steady daily gain must be secured from
the time the pig is farrowed until it is
marketed.
Pigs often lack vigor because the
brood sows are kept too fat. A good,
thrifty condition is much better for
the pigs than too much fat
Give the pigs fair start in life by
feeding the SOW upon milk producing
rations. There is nothing much bet
ter than skim milk mixed with shorts.
All waste from the kitchen are
wholesome and suitable as food for
pigs, but a swill barrel that is never
empty and never clean impairs the
system Of hog and his owners prof
its.

SALMON NEEDS SALT WATER
Confined in Lake, with No Approach
to the Sea, the Fish Rapidly
Become Dwarfed.

The name salmon is given in Eng
land and all eastern states to a large.
trout-like fish which lives In the sea,
chiefly about the mouths of rivers,
and which enters the streams to spawn,
running for a considerable distance
up the stream and returning to the
sea after the act of spawning is ac-
complished, says writer in the Pa
cific Monthly. The old males become
somewhat distorted, especially through
the lengthening of the jaws, but the
changes with age and season are not
much greater than in any large trout
The true salmon, like the true trout,
is black spotted. 1t is called in sci
ence Salmo salar, and along with the
true trout it belongs to the genus
Salmo. There is only one species OF
Atlantic salmon; it is found on both
sides of the ocean, and on both sides
1t becomes sometimes land-locked and
dwarfish when 1t is shut up in a lake
and when it cannot or does not go to
