HORSE POISONING BAND
Development of Total Depravity That
Has Been Unearthed in the
Empire State.

New York, May 4.-Samuel Geller,
leader of a band that is said to have
poisoned more than 1000 horses in
Greater New York during the last five
years, has been sentenced to serve a
year in the penitentiary. He is 80 years
old and lived in Brooklyn. Geller was
charged with having poisoned seven
horses by giving them arsenic When
the case was closed Superintendent
Charles II. Hankinson, of the Society
for the Prevention Of Cruelty to Ami
mails, told the court that Gellers con-
viction was one of the greatest victo-
ries In the interest of dumb animals Of
which he ever knew.
"Geller has been at the head Of a
band that has wilfully destroyed hun.
dreds and hundreds of horses during
the last five years." said Hankinson.
1.-THE members of the band hire out to
rival business men, and by administer
Ing arsenic to the horses of one or the
other reap a rich harvest. The tortures
the poor beasts suffer in being thus

Council Proceedings.

Nothing of very great importance
came up at the regular meeting OF the
city council held Tuesday evening
last. All the aldermen were present
and Mayor Miller presided. The ses-
sion was not as harmonious as might
have been-but all's we'll that ends
we'll.
Minutes of previous meeting read
and approved after correction,
Report of finance committee read
and accepted as was also report Of
City Treas Dyer.
The newly appointed marshal,
Jacob Dersch was given few point
ers by the mayor relative to his
duties and Aid Henkel was elected
president of the council contrary to
the mayors wishes by a close vote
against AID Bailie, who was the
mayors choice.
Both Lancaster papers were made
official organs for ensuing year, and
c. E. Borah's application fer a
sprlnkling permit was granted.
The committee on public works
named by the mayor consists of
Aldermen Jordan, Whitmore and
Barnett. A road tax of II mills was
voted to be levied on city property.
Current bills were allowed after
which council adjourned.
Question of legality of appoint
ment and confirmation Of city Of
fic1als was settled by another vote on
this subject, motion being made by
Aid. Jordan, all voting aye but Aid.

Pension Dept. Locates Lost Brothers.

The U. S. pension department has
on numerous occasions acted as a
lost persons locating agency, but it
is doubtful if there are many in
stances in which it succeeded in
bringing together three brothers at
one time but such an event occurred
recently, and what is more, our own
county is interested in the event as
one of the interested parties is a
citizen thereof, and has been a good
many years.
Philip Roesch, Of Potosi, has two
brothers, Herman and Frank, but
had lost all track Of the former for
over 81 years. Dilligent search and
advertisements in different papers
throughout the country availed to
naught and he philip finally gave
up all hopes Of ever finding his lost
kinsman.
Twelve years ago he last heard
from his brother Frank, when sud
denly he too became lost to MIN and
a like effort to locate him proved
fruitless.
Recently an estate had to be
closed in which the three brothers
are interested parties but nothing
could be done until all legal heirs
we're located and their identify es-
tablished.
Fortunately the three brothers
were veterans of the civil war and
the idea struck the Potosi brother
to make inquiries Of the U. S. pen
sion department to see whether the
other two brothers were registered
on the lists of those drawing pecun-
larry benefits from your Uncle Sam
for serving him during the turbul-
ent times of the COS. Happy idea!
Almost the very next mail brought
him the news that his brothers were
located, Herman at St. Louis and
Frank at Santa Rosa, California.
Mr.. Roesch has since heard from
his long lost relatives. All parties
are happy over the fact that they
are again united-in sense-and
it is sure wager that they will
never again allow themselves to be-
come lost to one another. Frank,
who is resident, of Santa Rosa,
was in part victim of the recent
earthquake. He writes that the
house IN which he lives sank two
feet at the time of the shock but
that he sustained no further dam
age.

Romans Artificial Leg.

The olcest artificial leg in existence
is now in the museum of the Royal
College of Surgeons of England. 1t
was found in a tomb at Capua and is
described in the catalogue as follows:
Roman artificial leg; the artificial
limb accurately represents the form Of
leg; it is made with pieces of thin
bronze, fastened by bronze nails to a
wooden core. Two iron bars, having
holes at their free ends. are attached
to the upper extremity of the bronze;
a quardrilateral piece of iron, found
near the position of the foot, is thought
to have given strength to it. There is
no trace of the foot, and the wooden
core had nearly crumbled away. That
skeleton had its waist surrounded by
belt of sheet bronze edged with
small rivets, probably used to fasten
a leather lining. Three painted vases
(ed figures on a black ground) lay at
the feet of the skeleton. The vases
belong to an advanced period in the Gle.
cline of art about 300 years 3. C)"

A Reminder.

A correspondent signing himself
Tax Payer" sends in the following
contribution which might be worthy
of perusal and consideration:
There is an ordinance upon the
records of the city council request
ing business houses and others to
burn completely papers collected
from day to day. So far this spring
this ordinance has been ignored and
it is quite discouraging to the citizens
to try to keep their premises clear
from flying papers,"

Sheep Notes.

It is not a question of how much a
ram costs as how much profit he re-
turns.
Don't house your sheep too closely;
let the mission of the barn be shelter
rather than warmth.
Give the ewes, grain simply as a
SlXury. High grain feeding is unfa-
vorable to a big lamb crop.
Sheep no more like to eat out of
sour, dirty troughs than the shepherds
like to eat off dirty dishes.
Although the ram may be gentle, it
is better that he be kept away from
the pregnant ewes. A blow of his head
may mean the loss of one or more

LUMBER TOWN HAS
4 WOOD FAMINE
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

TACOMA, Dec. IA peculiar situa-
ton, wood famine, exists at Aber-
deem, a town in the midst of a lumber
region and with seven sawmills. For
three weeks past the mills have been
unable to keep up with their orders,
and at present it is almost impossible
to get load of wood for any money
simply because mills cannot furnish
it. The American mill will take no
wood orders for two weeks. and some
of the other mills are weeks behind on
orders already on their books. Five
dollars was offered for a load OF wood
today and refused, as it could not be
delivered. The situation is aggravated
on account of the unusually cold
weather prevailing and the fact that
but few Aberdeen people use coal.
