Poisoning Cattle.

The court of inquiry which has
been in secret session at Huston
vile, for several days investigat-
ing the poisoning of twenty-four
head of fine milk COWS. export
steers and brood mares belong
ing to w. G. Cowan came to a
close Saturday afternoon. The
evidence was gathered by De-
tective Phillip Deitsch, of Gin
cinnati, who has been on the
case ten days. At the conclu-
sion of the investigation a war
rant was sworn out for the ar
rest of Nathan Pipes, a wealthy
stockman residing on an adjoin-
ing farm to Cowan. He con-
tends that he is innocent of the
charge. A bucket containing
particles Of Paris green and salt
was found in the field where the
cattle was poisoned and upon this
clew the court of inquiry took
the foundation for its work, it is
alleged. Pipes examining trial
was set for Wednesday and the
result had not been made public
when this paper went to press. =

Secrecy in Divorce.

Justice Brewer, of the United
States Supreme court, recently
deprecated the publicity given to
evidence in divorce cases. He
took the position that publicity
too frequently paraded before an
uninterested public, family skele-
tons that had best remained
locked within their closets; and
that unnecessary injury was done
the parties seeking separation as
we'll as the public which could
not escape prejudice against
them. Justice Brewer evident
ly overlooked several important
facts.
The marriage contract is a civil
agreement the performance of
which is delegated, at the option
of the contracting parties, to a
representative of t h e church.
Being a civil contract it is sub
ject to the laws of the State re-
lating to the same, which laws
have been enacted for the public
good. Violation of the contract
for any cause whatever must af-
feet in some measure the public
good. If the cause of violation
is one that is detrimental to pub
lie welfare, there is certainly
every reason for publicity, and
the more skeletons in the closets,

Green Cut Bone.

In feeding green cut bone
great care should be exercised as
too much of it will prove harmful.
Beginning with little at first,
the amount may be gradually in
creased until each dozen hens get
one pound of bone. While some
poultrymen feed it daily, we be-
lieve every other day is often
enough. This will depend alto
gether upon conditions. Active
fowls can safely eat more of it
than the sluggish ones, as more
will be consumed in building up
the tissues and organs # the
body, especially where the other
foods are lacking in heterogeneous
elements. A little careful ex-
perience and close observation
will prove the best guide in feed
ing.

the,greater cause for their intro
duction to the public. Parties
to the married contract who are
unable t o fulfill its conditions,
owe proper explanation to the
public, because the laws author
ling the contract are made by
the people.
The man or woman who fails
to keep a marriage contract fails
in their obligations to society. If
they have any good reason for
failure it should be made known
that they may not be unduly dis
credited. If they have no good
reason the fact should all the
more be made public that society
may know what their worth is
to itself.

Dir. Knox TO Mr.. Zelaya.

Mr.. Knox. Secretary Of State,
writes to the Nicaraguan repre-
sentative ike a man who intends
to mop up with fellow who is
called President Of Nicaragua.
As we observed the other day,
the collection of small indemni-
ty for the killing o f the two
Americans would be inadequate
punishment if it be proven that
they were connected with an or
ganized revolution and entitled
to standing as prisoners of war.
Nicaragua is either guilty of
having murdered two soldiers or
he merely executed two adven-
turers. In the one event Presi-
dent Zelaya should be held to a
strict accounting; in the other
there would be nothing to do
about it. Frankfort News.

An Honest Boy Rewarded.

Honesty is appreciated even
among politicians. During re-
cent political convention in North
Carolina a newsboy named Cice
70 Alexander sold a paper to a
delegate who gave him a dollar
and was to wait for his change.
The boy on returning, could not
find his customer and began to
cry. The chairman of the con :
vention, impressed by his homes
ty, announced the matter before
the whole assemblage tho re-
suit being not only that the man
who had the change coming to
him let the boy have it, but col
lection of $685. was taken up
for him by the delegates. Some
one shouted that the younster
should be made state treasurer,
and by unanimous vote the con-
vention recommended him for
chief page in the legislature. =

Barbarous England.

We have been told by certain
magazines of "Barbarous Russia
of its dungeons and prisons, it's
cruelties and crimes. We have
been told of Barbarous Mexico,
whose system of peonage amount
ing to slavery, makes $50, 900
human being chattels subjected
to cruelties as shocking as those
of Russian dungeons and Siber-
ian prisons. We now read in an
English paper an article advocat-
ing the use Of the birch on the
SuffragetteS confined in British
prisons, to compel them to COM
ply with prison discipline while
undergoing punishment for Of
lenses against the government.
Are we soon to hear of Barba-
rous England?
The English publication says
"the suffragettes should be made
to know the meaning of real suf-
fering and that memorable time
honored weapon the birch,
is at the disposition of the au-
thorities as we'll as the services
as practical opponents of it's use.
There are plenty of strong wom-
en of the working class, exper-
enced in the management of
large families, who would gladly
give their services at a reason
able rate of pay per thrashing."
There is more of the same kind,
and it all goes to show the feel
ing that exists against the suf-
fragist movement at least on the
part of the publication quoted.
Perhaps these sentiments will
be disclaimed by a majority of
the English people, and it is GER
ly to be hoped that they will be.
Approval would be the most SER
ious shock that the civilized
world has suffered for several
generations. The world would
certainly be going backward, in
stead of forward.

Blind Tigers Must Go.

after that date the United States
authorities will be on their trail.
Congress at the last regular SEES
sion codifed, revised and amend
ed the penal laws Of the United
States. So many important
changes we're made that the legis-
lators fixed January l as date on
which new code shall go into
effect Possibly no more impor-
tant new matter was inserted in
the revised codifcation than that
relating to the shipment of ia
toxicating liquors into dry"
territory. This new legislation
went in because Southern Demo-
Gratis who live in dry" territory
insisted that it was time for the
United States to do something
toward holding up the hands of
the officers of the law in States
or districts that have abolished
saloons.
Three sections of the new codi-
fication relate to the liquor
traffic. The most important
provision is that on and after
January 1 every shipment of in
toxicating liquors shall bear the
name of the consignee and the
nature of the contents of the
receptacle, and the quantity con-
tanned therein.
1t is a notorious fact that
practically all the liquor now
shipped into prohibition territory
is labeled as some other commo-
dity, or not labeled at all, and
frequently addressed to persons
other than the consignee.
Let's see what Congress says
shall be done after the LIST of
January:
Whoever shall knowingly
ship or cause to be shipped from
one State, territory or district of
the United States, or place non
contiguous to but subject to the
jurisdiction thereof, any package
of or package containing any
spirituous vinous, matted, fer
mented, or other intoxicating
liquor of any kind, unless such
package be labeled on the out
side cover as to plainly show the
name of the consignee, the
nature of the contents, and the
quantity contained therein, shall
be fined not more than five thous-
and dollars; and such liquor shall
be forfeited to the United States,
and may be seized and condemned
by like proceedings as those pro-
vided by law for the seizure and
forfeiture of property imported
into the United States contrary
to law"
The federal authorities have
already sent out notice to all
manufactures of intoxicants that
their wares will have to be label
ed on the outside of the package
on and after the first of the yoar.

tents aud the exact amount in

tain interest and relation TO politics,
for every piece OF legislation comes
about through politics. II is proper
and right for the prohibition forces
to line up on the right side and do
their level best TO bring victory Ia
the men championing their cause.
But Il is wholly a different thing
for an organization to take the init
alive rather than the cooperative po
sition. II Is unthinkable for any or
ganization in a democratic form OF
government to undertake to put out
all the different candidates from gov,
ernor to constable. Here comes a

the ants do. the answer is because
the wrong side does wrong. no grounds
Is afforded for the right side 10 do
the same wrong.
Furthermore, II the Anti-Saloon
League insist on putting out candi-

the 'exs and has beons.' People as a
rule. do not relish a candidate who
has already been defeated In previous
elections. The great cause OF State
wide prohibition is too vital to come
into the hands of endorsed politicians
and silver-tongued demagogues. Also,
Statewide prohibition is too important
to be committed TO would-be leader
who himself Is a recent convert. We
should not be embarrassed by being
compelled to explain the conduct and
defend the past webbing record OF
our candidate. A man may be ever
so sincere In his profession. yet an
unbroken record is mighty conven-
lent support to a profession In times
like these. There are some who would
not support a candidate who has had
recent and bitter personal opposition
in other causes. No use To jeopardizo
a great cause with such a man-it Is
the essence Of folly.
I'VE repeat the proposition; danger
and destruction await That organiza-
ton OF whatever name and purpose
which undertakes TO dictate the poll

tried and went to pieces; so did the
