OF INTEREST
TO SHEEPMEN
PROF. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL
HAS INVENTED A NEW
SHEEP.

Washington, Sept. 6.-Prof. Alexan-
der Graham Bell, the inventor Of the
telephone, has Invented new sheep.
Telling of them, he said:
THE ordinary sheep bag has but
two nipples, and it is from those that
the lamb draws all its milk. This
was the case with my sheep. l no.
ticed, however. that upon some of the
bags were embryonic nipples in addi-
ton to those of usual size. In some
cases these were barely perceptible,
and in none were they larger than
good sized pimples. Upon looking
farther l found that the ewes bearing
the embryonic nipples had far more
twins than those not so marked. OF
the ordinary ewes only "a per cent
were twin bearing, while of those
which had these marks of an unde-
veloped milk supply 43 per cent had
twins. This seemed to indicate that
the marks meant something, and l
then began to experiment to find out
how much.
I'm the first place, l wanted to find
whether by selective breeding those
now dead embryonic pimple-like nip
pies could be made alive and useful.
l wanted to know whether they would
grow and fill with milk, and whether.
if they did so, the sheep growing
them would yield a greater milk sup
ply. In the second place, l wanted to
know whether, after I had produced
sheep with four good live nipples
insted of two, that sheep would have

veloped.
Il experienced little difficulty in de.
veloping the embryonic nipples. was
nipples, al yielding milk, and, indeed,
for several years past nearly every
eve born on my farm has had four
live functional nipples instead of two.
In recent years / have produced a
large number which have six such
nipples, and l think there is no doubt
but that I could eventually produce
a six-nippled variety. Of the lambs
dropped this year eight have six nip
pies. and in addition we have now
for the first time, lamb with eight
nipples. This is the only one of that
character that | have ever produced
and the only one have ever heard Of
AS to the twin part Of my investt.
cations I have not been SO successful
The proportion of twins born has been
small, and the sheep with the four OF
six nipples have not proved more fer
tile than those of the ordinary kind
l believe, however, that by using twins
only for breeding purposes it may be
possible to raise twin-bearing stock
and that is what hope to do now >

kee Avenue State bank, which closed
its doors on August 6.
The arrest was made by a represen-
tative of the Tribune and Assistant
States Attorney Olsen of this city,
who have been on the trail of Stems
land since August 49, Stensland had
many friends among women of this
city upon whom he was accustomed
to spend much money and one of these
feeling that she had not been treated
by him with due consideration came
to the Tribune few days after his
fight with information regarding the
direction he had gone. Her infor-
nation was somewhat indefinite, but
investigation proved it's probable &C.
curacy. A representative Of the Trib-
une was sent to States Attorney Hea-
ley, who at that time was in the state,
with his information and a request
attorneys office be permitted to &C
company the Tribune representative
on the quest of the fugitive. Mr.. Hea-
ley agreed and sent Assistant States
Attorney Olsen with the Tribune cor
respondent. 1t was ascertained that
Stensland had fed from Chicago on

deposited $4,000 in bank in Tan
gier, and believing that he would soon

there. A dispatch printed in the reg

and four hours later a special edition
was issued declaring that the fugitive
had been taken into custody. Durins

The fight among the Democrats over
the nomination for county attorney led
to a warm contest in the west Lewis
town precinct primary Saturday. and
the lines were drawn in number Of
In the west Lewistown precinct, there
were two tickets in the field, one fav-
oring Roy E. Ayres and the other Dav-
i'd Scott. 1t was a pretty fight, both
Messers Ayres and Scott giving it
their personal attention, and Scott
was making it very interesting until
Ayres brought in from the water works
ditch bus full Of men, who cast
about 81 votes for his ticket. Two or
three men who are thought to favor
Scott were on both tickets but the Ayers
ticket won by vote Of III to SO. In
the east Lewistown precinct, there
was only one ticket, and it is claimed
that a majority of the delegates there
are for Scott, but as there are only
seven delegates from that precinct
as against II in west Lewistown, Ayres
secured a nice lead. The Kendall dele
cation of nine is for Ayres, while Scott
is credited with controlling the Gilt
Edge delegation. Scott also captured
number of small delegations in the
country precincts, and while Ayers ap
peas to have a lead, SO far as the pre-
cincts have reported, Scott is still in
the race, and has an excellent chance
Of winning out. William A. Gordon Jr.
the third candidate, is known to have
some delegates, and in the event Of a
close contest, may hold the balance, OF
even capture the nomination as q com
promise candidate.

panic followed the crash The crew
lost their heads and crowded into the

say the women.
During heavy rain and fog, the
Jeannie ran into the starboard side Of
the Dix, tearing a great hole, through
which the water rushed, laundering the
vessel within Ave minutes. All the pas.
sengers were in their state rooms at
the time. The crew Of the JEANNE tried
to save the victims and took of about
40 Of the 40 passengers. The pilot and
engineer Of the Dix tried to beach the
steamer and died at their posts.
The Captains of both steamers, place
the responsibility on Charles Dennison,

iu charge of the wheel, who they say de-
liherately approached from astern and
tried to cross the Jeannies bow. OF the

Three Candidates for Position
in Barre.
APPOINTMENT COMES SOON


There II promise Of a lively contest
for the postmastership in Barre, to sue
coed Postmaster Bisbee, whose term ex-
pires January %, 1907. There are as
good as three. candidates in the field,
with the possibility Of fourth. Az it
j, only two months to the time when
Mr.. Bisbee's term expires. there win
doubtless be some hustling IN the few
weeks intervening for support for the
different candidates.
Postmaster Bisbee, who has held the
office nearly eight years, il candidate
for reappointment, basing claims TO the
position on his record with the depart
ment at Washington, which il among
the best
1t is claimed by friends OF the post
master that under President Rooseyelt's
ruling Of year or more ago, placing
practically all the presidential offices on
a civil service basis with the under
standing that where postmasters show
a clean record they shall be retained,
practically assures his reappointInerit.
II is further urged in his behalf that
his position as president Of the New
England Postmasters' association enti-
ties him to some further recognition.
Elk postmaster b. Fl. Wells, while not
vet declared candidate, IS expected
To announce himself as such shortly.
Mr.. Wells was postmaster for four wears
from 1890 to 1894, and under his ad-
mnistration the service was greatly im-
proved and enlarged Mr. Wells went
into his own pocket to the extent OF
Si,400 in fitting up the Office after
ho became postmaster, and in the four
years he held the Office the business
increased over so per cent. Friends
have urged him to enter the contest be-
cause they believe he is capable Of bet
tering the local service. They point tf
his record as postmaster and also as
city clerk and treasurer position he
held eight years, being elected without
an opposition vote the last year he
held this Office.
g. III Anker, who has declared his
candidacy may be termed the young
mems candidate. MIR. Anker WAS for
a long time the local representative Of
the large granite concern Of C. u. Tayn-
tor & Co, and since the Barre Gas
company began business he has been
prominently connected with that. lie is
secretary of the Mrchants' association.
His friends urged his selection for the
Office on the ground of fitness for the
position, the need Of the postal service
and the belief that he can secure it.
and further that no one man should hoid
the Office always.

NEVER A CANDIDATE AGAIN.
Hearst Does Not Like the Bitter Attacks
Upon Him.

f. Hearst, recently democratic candidate
for governor of New York, passed
through San Antonio yesterday on his
way to Monterey, Mexico, where he has
mining property. In reference to poll
tice IN New Rork, he said:
II viii never again be candidate. |
shall continue TO live in New York and
advocate and support the principles OF
reform which ! have always stood up for

understood by the general public for it
TO be no longer necessary for me TO be
a candidate and on that account be at
tackled with much bitterness.
