Live Stock Statistics.

State Auditor w d Gilbert,
has prepared a tabular statement
showing the number Of hor es,
cattle, mules, hogs and sheep in
each county in the state and com
pairing the number in 1907 with
the returns in 1906. The table is
an interesting one and is well
worth perusal.
Horses show decrease in 1907
over 1905 in the entire state of
2351 cattle for the same period
show decrease of 81, csc; mules
2lS. The increase in live stock
for 1907 oyer 1906 is in sheep and
hogs. The former increased in
the entire state for the above
period los, ,58S, Hogs show the
most marked increase, it being
32l G12 in number.
The figures for Hooking county
are interesting The number of
horses in the county in 1906 was
3Sl1; in 1907 $500, showing de,
crease of II Of those most faith
full and useful Of animals.
The number of cattle as re-
turned for 1906 was 1891. For
1907, $3.50, showing decrease of
81 head.
There was a gain of five in the
number Of mules in the county in
1907 over 1906. The number of
mules returned in 1906 was ~,
while for this year total for the
county was 70.
Hooking county has been for
years in the agricultural line pre-.
eminently wool-growing county.
The returns of this year show a
good per centage in the number
of head of these animals in the
county. For 1906 there were re-
turned as a total for the county,
12,S00. The assessors returned
IA, ,O41 for this year.

A Criticism,
Lancaster EagIel

Lancaster EaBleI
Last night at the close of the
band concert the musicians rose to
their feet and began playing "The
Star Spangled Banner. imagine
their surprise when the audience
began leaving the room without
even stopping to show their appre-
citation to these men, natives of
another country, for the respect
they were showing our flag.
About half of the audience re-
mained standing, but the other
half did not even take the pains
to leave the room quietly.
Where is our much boasted pa
triotisn? Shame on the Lancaster
people who will permit foreign
born men to show more respect to
our country and dag than we are
willing to DO ourselves
The teachers in our public
schools are required to teach pa
triotism. OF what value is their
teaching when fathers and mothers
set such an example as they did
last night. Possibly some Of those
who left the auditorium so hastily
were not aware that "The Star
Spangled Banner" is a national
air. All such persons are advised
to obtain copy, and so familiar
ize themselves with 1t, that such
mistake shall not occur again,
If We want our boys and girls
to be loyal, patriotic citizens and
to love and respect our flag we
must first set them the example
by showing our love and respect
for it at all times and on all oc-
casions. CITIZEN.

council on both sides; Col. Weldy
for defendant and III. M. Whit
craft for plaintiff. Verdict was
rendered in favor of the plaintiff.
The contest involved was the
matter of DIR. Cherrington pur-
chasing the "Rohert Wright"
property on Main street, for hos
pital purposes. Mr.. Pfeilfer lives
in the house and refused 10 give
possession. He claimed that
owing to the fact that he has paid
the rent and it had been accepted,
though after the expiration of his
lease, that he had acquired posses
sion of the house for another year.
Plaintiff ayered that defendant
had been refused the house because
the property being for sale and
that he had no claim of possession.
The case was hotly contested, and
jury after several hours delibera-
tion rendered a verdict for plain
tiff.
This means that if the defend
ant does not file petition in
error in the common pleas court,
Mr.. Pfeiffer will need to give pos
session of the property within IN
ten days.
