Animals of Pure Breed Intended to
Improve Mexican Herds Not
Welcome

Guthrie, Ok.--The opposition Of some
of the Mexican cattiemen to the intro
duction of high-gIade American ami
mails for breeding purposes has resulted
in the cruel multilatiCn by unknown
parties of shipment Of dairy COWS re-
Gently sent to Mexico, according to w.
P. Eager, Of Guthrie, who has been en-
gagged for some time in shipping high
grade cattle into Mexico, under the au-
spices of the different breeders associa-
tions.
Among the heavy shippers into MeXi-
co recently has been an Illinois firm.
which pays especial attention to dairy
cows. This firm recently shipped load
of So COWS, all full-blooded and regis
tered buttermakers. Shortly after the
car crossed the border into Mexico,
some unknown person entered the car
and cut the teats off % Of the cows, ruin
ing them entirely for dairy purposes,
and injuring them SO that a number Of
them will probably die.
The Mexican government has lately
been encouraging the introduction Of
better blood into Mexican herds, and
has the cooperation Of the better class
of cattle raisers. Some of them are,
however, suspicious and jealous of the
big business which American firms
have been doing lately. The matter has
been referred to the authorities at
Washington and the City of Mexico and
an investigation asked for

Cheaper Platinum.

Platinum made to order will be a
blessing to those who are buying it
now at nearly five dollars an ounce;
the electricians, dentists, chemists
and machinistS. The new metal,
which will sell for at least half that
amount, is of grayish white hue, with
a specific gravity and atomic weight
about the same as platinum 1t
fuses at about $3.50 degrees Fahren-
heit, and is malleable and ductile,
becoming soft and workable at tenn
perature far below the melting point.
1t can be used in making crucibles
and similar utensils for laboratory
use, and it is not affected by acids,
having successfully passed the tests
made by number Of chemists with
sulphuric and other strong acids. 1t
can be rolled into sheets or made
into wire of the thickness of a small
fraction of an inch. A Baltimore

PRICES OF ELEPHANTS.
Are Going Up, So Now Is the Time to
Replenish Your Stock Of
Pachyderms-

New York.-"A five-foet elephant
costs this spring." said an importer of
animals, ''S1 400, as against $1,000, for
which such elephants could be bought
two years ago.
Elephants, like all other wild ami
mails, are growing scarcer with the set
tlement of the globe, and their prices
tend upward. More small elephants
than big ones are imported because
they cost less to begin with and be-
cause they are easier and safer to
transport and showmen like them, too.
because young elephants are tractable
and easier to train. And small ele-
plants are attractive, anyway
Then, the, elephant is a hardy ami
NAL in captivity and it is naturally
long-lived, and the young elephant in
creases in value with it's growth; and
SO, even with their prices tending up
ward. young elephants are good prop
erty."

HONESTY THE KEYSTONE

WaShineton. May 16.-President
Roosevelt da,ivered an address at the

representatives OF several state and

and of the national civil service re-
form leaeua who met here for a con-
ference with the commissioners of the
general government with view to
considering questions for the better
ment of civil service throughout the
country.
The Presidents Address.
The president said in part:
''One Of the gratifying things OF re-
cent years has been the rapid s9read of
interest in the whole movement, and
because Of that interest i. is peculiarly
incumbent upon YOU to see that there
IS not a chance for the opponents TO
say that ii is not practical. The eff
cheney of the service, with honesty as,
of course, the keystoIe of efficiency,
must be the prime test Of what you
do
Exceptions to Rules.
The president said that exceptions to
rules VIII always lie fond necessary,
mentioning promotions by the system
of written competitive examination as
an instance where the best results were
net secured He urged the delegates
not to be afraid to make these excep-
tiCns But" he continued, 'be sure
you are making the exception for prop
er reasons. In other words, Go not be-
lieye for ore moment that any system
Of rules can be devised under which it
will BE possible to shield yourself from
the duty Of exercising your own judg-
ment. your own independence
Matter Of Personal Experience.
after considerable experience in al
most every king OF governmental work
I have never yet found any position or
any branch Of the service as regards
which the !ctrusion Of politica! reasons
in making appointments does not do
damage
''I am now naturally brought into re-
lations with a greater number of impor.
tant officers IL different branches Of the
government throughout this country,
and | continually have 10 consider the
question OF efficiency with which they
are handled.
Almost without Exception.
practically without exception l find
that an office in which there is laxness
in the administration OF the civil serv-
ice law, where there Is an effort TO cir
cumvent the law, where there is effort
to get around it, is an Office in which
poor service IS rendered; he chance for
fraud. for pecn'atioh, for dishonesty, Is
always greater in such an Office than
in the office where the law is we'll and
faithfully observed. And while, OF
course It is true that the mere OBJ
servarce OF the civil service Jaw can
never result in a thoroughly efficient
administration Of any Office. yet l am
inclined more and more to feel that the
observance in letter and spirit of the
civil service law is the first requisite in
obtaining clean decent, efficient gov
ernmental service III any branch or bu-
reau Of the government"

ALL BUT ONE DEED ADMITTED
John Mccarthy Weeps and Wants TO
Plead Guilty But Cannot
Before Leslie.

Judge, r want to plead guilty to every
thing but breaking into the store. l didn't
do that" sobbed John Mccarthy when he
was arraigned before County Judge Leslie
for his preliminary hearing on charge of
burglary. Mccarthy was the man captured
near Council Bluffs with a lot OF plumber
from the store of F. II. Clark of Valley
which was robbed Sunday night. Mccarthy
said he did not want to have any trial, but
wanted TO have everything over with at
once The complaint charges him with bur
Rlarlzlng the store and stealing SS4 worth
of goods found in his possession.
Mccarthy says he was at the depot at
Valley intending to take the train for Ere
mont when a man named Snyder thrust
the grip full OF goods in his hands and
told him f. contained "peddln's." McCar-
thy went to Fremont and then to Council
Bluffs, where he tried 10 dispose Of the
goods and was arrested. When told he had
committed a pcnitentiary ofense his sobs
redoubled and he cried like a child.
As the hearing was a preliminary one
Judge Leslie could not take a plea OF guilty.
Mccarthy was bound over to the district
court at his own request. The authorities
believe the man Snyder Is fictitious per-
son. Mccarthy has been working among
the farmers near Valley, but the authori-
ties claim he has a record.

charged with the murder OF John Hanson.
gave vivid descriptions of the death strug-
gle between Bightncr and Hanson on the
stand Wednesday morning. Most OF the
witnesses were employed Mt the grading
camp two miles west of Elkhorn, where the
tragedy occurred
Charles Hanson. who was employed in the
camp declared he saw LEhtner go to John
Hansons bunk. where Hanson was sleep
ing off a debauch, pull Hanson out OF the
bunk. knock him down and kick him two
or three times. The witness then went into
the cook tent and did not see the rest Of
the trouble, except that he saw LightneT
run away and afterward saw the bloody
body of Hanson lying on the ground. Other
witnesses told practically the same story.
Captain Haze, who went to the camp
shortly after the killing identified the
bloody razor with which the cutting was
done
The defense contends tho cutting was ac-
cdental and that Bightner though holding
the razor, had just said he did not intend
TO cut Hanson, when Hanson rushed at hin
and in the struggle that followed accI
dentally drew his arm across the blade
and severed an artery. The case will prob
ably occupy all OF Thursday.
