1t has been our experience tina;
young sows selected from fall litter'
are more desirable to retain for breed.
ers than those that are selected from
the spring filters for the reason thas
they have obtained the desired matu-
rity and development at the time when
lit is desired to breed them for spring
filters. We think it is good plan to
select brood sows from fall pigs and
give them good care during the win
ter. By spring they will be in condi-
ton to go out on clover, alfalfa or blue
grass pasture and thrive with the adj
dition Of very little grain until few
weeks before it is desired to breed
them, when it is best to feed some
grain and mill feed and continue lib
eral feeding until they farrow their
first litter.-C. w. Dent.

A Case of Attempted Assault Report
ed to the Police.
1t was reported to the police last
Wednesday that negro had attempt
ed to harm Mrs. Mary Connolly, the
wife of groom for B. Nicoll. She
had been to town and as she turned in
to the driveway leading to Samuel
Freeman's barn states that the negro
jumped out of the bushes in front of
her. She says she screamed and ran
and the man ran in the other direc-
tion. Before she entered the drive
way she had seen a man cross the
street near the gate. Mrs. Connolly
gave a description of the man and from
this Henry Savage, who came here re-
Gently with band Of gypsies, was ar
rested and lodged in Jail.
In the morning Mrs. Connolly went
to the jail and Savage was brought out
for Identification, hut she said he did
not resemble the man shelhad seen the

he is the man who answers her de-
scription and that his account of his
whereabouts at that time Is not true.
The man did not touch Mrs. Con-
nelly, neither did he say anything to
her and the story of her fainting from

the facts, as reported by the police.
The affair happened shortly after five
O'Clock in the afternoon.

Hoof TRIMMING.

Several years ago an old farrier gave
us the following advice in trimming a
colts hoof. which we think is excel
lent, says Farmers Advocate: Cut down
the hoof at the heel till the frog barely
rests upon the ground or, rather, slight
ly touches the ground. Never under
any circumstances should the frog be
trimmed or pared. Some trim or pare
the frog so they can trim down the
sides of the hoof the more. This should
never be done. The front of the hoof
should be trimmed to give 1t the prop
err pitch or position. The front should
not be too long. This viii give the
ankle too much of twist, and serl-
GUS blemish may result. On the other
hand, it should not be too short, as
this viii hold the ankle too erect.

graphs of his artistic friends. Par
ticularly interesting to those who
will hear Mr.. Sickesz in his recital
at the Lyceum Hall on Wednesday
evening, December 4th, are the lau-
rel wreaths shown in this picture,
presented by his admirers at his
various concerts and recitals in the
musical centers Of Europe. This
picture is particularly strong like
ness Of the Dutch pianist. The
earnestness which character is S
him is shown in his strong face, as
is also the will by which he over
came the obstacle of his relatives
among the nobility and attained
his ambition as a concert pianist.
Mr.. Sickesz plays with the Kneisel
Quartette in Baltimore next month,
and at the White House in January,
will give recital at the request of
the Dutch Counsel. Morristown
has an unusual treat awaiting them
and one which should be of much
interest to students.

real estate in Trenton for some time
was consummated last week when the
State Council of New Jersey, Junior
Order of American Mechanics, pur-
chased the building at 1877 and 139
East State street.
The property is valuable one, but
the consideration was notmade known.
About year ago, it is understood, the
property was offered for sale for $780,
600
: It is the intention of the State coun-
Gil to raze the State street structure
and erect on it's site handsome build
ing. On the bottom floor there will
be stores. while the upper floors will
be used for the offices of the State
counsel secretary and for lodge pur-
poses.

Trenton and Odgen Lanning, of Bing-
hampon, N. Y, held the Office of sec

CHOKING SULPHUR FUMES
Peculiar Phenomenon Follows Mexican
Earthquake.

Peculiar Phenomenon Follows Mexican
Earthquake.
Mexico City, April 19.-Communica-
tions have now been opened with all
the important points in the section
most affected by the earthquake. The
latest reports indicate that the loss Of
life will not reach 100, but many per-
sons have been injured and the prop
erty loss is very great.
One peculiar phenomenon which
has just been made known is that
after the first great shock the air was
filed for many miles with a thick,
sickening sulphurous odor. Even the
water in the streams was made sui
phurOus. This caused great distress
to the survivors.
There, are many speculations as to
the cause of the peculiar freak of ma
ture and some consider it as a proof
that the earthquake had it's origin in
some subterranean explosion. For
this reason considerable anxiety will
be felt until news is received from the
sections surrounding the active vol
canoes of Colima and Jurrello.

government TO FOOT BILL
Presidents Novel Plan to Meet Cam
paiqn Expenses.


Chicago, April ia dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
President Roosevelt is studying
over a new departure in politics
which, whether it is carried out to
any practical result or not, is certain
to excite widespread discussion among
public men the country over.
The agitation for publicity OF cam
paign expenses and various laws in
the different states for official primary
elections has caused the president to
question in his own mind whether it
may not be possible to devise
scheme by which the government
may assume the responsibility not only
for the actual expense of the election,
as at present, but for the legitimate
campaign expenses of the regular
nominees.
His idea is not formulated, he has
no detailed scheme in view, he is fully
aware of the completely of the sub
ject and he sees in advance the mani
fold objections that will be made to
it. Nevertheless, he believes the idea
is worth consideration and it is receiv-
ing his earnest attention at the pres
ent time,

stolen by John Gunderson from the
Northern Express company's offices
at the Union depot Tuesday night has
and no one is financially a loser be-
cause Of the sensational robbery.
Gunderson confessed to having COM
mitted the robbery and plotted the
police officers to three different locali-
ties where he had hidden the money.
Beside a fence in the Great North
ern yards at the head of Jackson
street, hidden under a lower heavy
beam, was found $4,000 in a package
done up so that the money would not
be injured by the elements.

officers to platform of one of the
Great Northern shop buildings, under
which was found $4,000 more, done
up in packages Of $500 each.
To get the remaining $1,000 Gun
derson led the police out of the yards
and down Jackson street to the cut
through which Jackson street runs to
a point near Valley street. Here Gun
derson indicated a spot in the sand
hill where he had cached part of the
stolen money and the officers soon
scooped out the sand burying the
treasure.

pleaded guilty to grand larceny and
was given an indeterminate sentence

100 houses and parts of the districts
Of Singalong, Paco and Bambang, in

spaces. The damage is conservatively
estimated at 100000 in gold. No cas-
