INDICTMENT
AGAINST WAITE DECLARED DE.
FECTlVE AND THE JURY is
DISMISSED.

On Monday morning in the United
States District Court before Judge
harrington the case of United States
g. George c. Waite was called for
trial; Hon. Samuel Piatt, appeared
for the Government, and Messrs.
Leonard B. Fowler and Robert Rich
ards appeared for the defendant
The defendant was sought to be
| indicted for forgery, and a jury had
been empannelled and sworn to try
the case, and the government was
about to introduce its evidence, when
the defendants attorneys objected to
further proceeding with the trial up
on the ground that it appeared from
the indictment that it could not be
ascertained with what the defendant
was sought to be charged, or what
he had to meet. and that the indict-
ment was insufficient to support a
verdict against the the defendant in
the case.
Counsel desiring to argue the mat
ter, the Court temporarily dismissed
the jury. and defendants attorneys
maintained before the court, that the
indictment was repugnant in it's al
legations, particularly for the reason
as they argued that in one part of
the Indictment it was alleged that
the defendant forged certain obi
cation of the United States, in an
other part that it was alleged that
the obligation was drawn by an au-
thOrized officer of the United States,
and still in another that the defend
ant was sought to be charged with
forging the endorsement only on the
Indictment
The defendants counsel strenuous
ly insisted that it appeared by the
reading of the Indictment alone that
these objections were well taken, and
tained without recourse to decision
or authority. as having just discov-
cred a weighty United States decision
on the subject, which was admitted
to have been read by counsel for the
government prior to drawing the in
dctment, counsel for defendant con.
sidered it their duty to advise the
court of such authority; which they
accordingly did, and it appeared that
the decision cited by them was Oh
all fOurs with the case before the
court. Counsel for the Government
replied to the attorneys for the de-
fendant, and maintained that the case
cited did not apply; and the objec-
tions were submitted to the court.
The court decided the question this
stating with the limited
time at its disposal, it did not feel
that its opinion about to be rendered
should be held conclusive. However,
the court held that the objections OF
the defendant were We'll taken, and
dismissed the Indictment
On next Monday the grand jury
will again take up the Waite case
and other indictments will probably
by returned by them. The jury Sc
lected to try the case was dismissed
by the court as was those on the last
venire that was called who had not
served. A new venre will probably
be called by the 22d of the month
on which date the Cole case will be
called for tie second trial.
The decision of the court this
morning in the Waite indictment ap
piled to only one of he three in
dictments found by the Grand Jury
but as the same defect is claimed to
exist in all of them they would have
probably been decided defective by
the court had the case been called

MONEY IN EGGS.

There has not been a season for
 many years when the prices Of eggs have held up as they have recently.
 In July and August it is not usual for the farmer to receive thirty cents per dozen for eggs. to say nothing of the prices of eggs that are assorted and packed in boxes for fancy trade
 The large crops of grain and potatoes that are being raised this year over the whole country should induce farmers to keep larger focks Eggs are selling for a higher price, pro portionately, than any other article produced on the farm. Not only is grain going to be cheaper, from the present outlook, but also the vege- tables that the farmers will have that cannot be shipped or utilized on the family table, and they can be turned into money through the egg market. The prices of beef are so high that many housewives prefer poultry to beef and the stock that is not profit able can be converted into cash. There now exists an excellent oppor- tunity for poultrymen to find if poul- try really pays. They must never forget, however. that the proper management and the comforts in the fowls must always be taken into con. sideration when estimating the profits and oss.-Farmers' Home Journal.

The HaIcyon.

The kingfsher is the halcyon of the ancients. who attributed to It's spirit after death the power of directing the course of the winds. The week pre- ceding and the week succeeding the winter solstiee comprise the fourteen days that were known as the halcyon days, and 1t was during this time that the sea always remained extraordi narily calm in order that the king fishers might more easily build their strange nests.
 To their dead bodies was attributed the power of giving peace and plenty as well as strength and beauty and all the necessaries of happy existence. They were also supposed to be able to turn aside the thunderbolts and therefore any house in which one was kept was perfectly safe from light ming. Tn some parts of France even to this day they are often called moth birds" on account of the supposed power which their dead bodies have to drive away and keep away moths from woollen cloths.-Suburban Life.

Observing the Amenities.

It Is beautiful to see the graces and amenities preserved in spite of difficulties. The prisoners in the coun- ty iaii at Milwaukee have presented resolutions to Ben Johnson, the re- tiring jailer," thanking him fir his treatment of them during his re- gime." The maker of the address of presentation" is under indictment for murder, "a boy who beat gro cery collector to death in a wagon during a storm but a tender heart and sympathetic disposition. we wish to thank you for the little acts that made us forget for an instant that we were in jail" the regretful guests say to the parting host.

contrivances designed by ambitious inventors. One of the recent distinct novelties is the electric alarm clock shown here, designed by a Chicago man. It is placed on the bureau, where the dial can be readily seen by the occupant of the bed. If he awakes in the night and wishes to know the time, he merely pushes a push bolton attached to cord which extends from the clock to the bed. The little incandescent lamp just above the dial immediately lights up, so that the time can be instantly seen. It is not necessary to arise from bed to light the electric light a touch of the button shows the time. The cord can be put under the pillow or in any convenient place. The alarm bell also rings at the hour set, as with the ordinary alarm clock. In addition. bank is placed on one side of the clock; if anybody tampers with it the bell rings and continues ringing until shut off.-Washington Star.

THE CROSS-BREEDING OF SHEEP. No incident in the growing and breeding of farm animals demands an exercise of more discriminating iudg- ment and skill than the judicious cross-breeding of flock of sheep. An inexperienced breeder is often in- clined to think he can combine the ex. cellences of various breeds in a per feet animal, but he is greatly mistak- en if he supposes that early maturity, aptitude for fattening. size, symmetry, great length of wool and extreme fine ness may be combined in one ami mal.
 Breeds may be greatly improved by judicious crossing, and a few tenn porary advantages may be gained by an admixture of blood; but if it is desired to make the characteristic permanent, the fundamental rules of breeding must be observed if you gain an affinity or harmony of qual- ities.
 The South Down and fine wool sheep may be crossed without doing violence to any established rule of breeding. The fineness of the fleece may be decreased, but the quantity will be enhanced and much improve ment may be achieved in size. The long wool and the fine wool cannot be crossed with any permanent degree of success.
 One crossing is not sufficient to change the character of a flock, but if success is insured the system must be pursued until the qualities have become fixed or permanent. Breed. CTS generally agree that the ram ex- perts the most influence in giving his character of wool to the progeny and that the internal form and construc. tion Is more dependent upon the dam. This forms an important rule for the guidance of the breeder. When the cross-breeding is between families of tn same breed, the families should be as distinct as possible Sheep of the same breed that originate in diff ferent districts of the same country are endowed with different qualities and these may be combined in a ia vorable manner.-W M. K, in the Epitomist.

KAFFIR CORN TESTS.

That kaffir corn and milo maze are not properly appreciated i n feel trade is the conclusion of the Texas station in feeding tests. These graf 1s contain considerable less fat or soil than corn land in other constituents, the differences are not important. The protein and fat of Kaffir corn are much more easily digested than the same constituents in Indian corn In a feeding test the Kaffir corn pro duced greater grains than milo maze, with Indian corn in third place.

Automatic Razor strop.

To know the luxury of smooth, clean shave the edge of any razor must be right to start with and must be kept right. To the man who slaves himself the stropping of the razor is the most difficult part. Very often he ruins the edge of the razor in his endeavors to strop it. Turning the blade at too great an angle de- stroys the edge. This cannot happen with the stropping machine shown here, patented by an Ohio man. The operation of the contrivance is very simple. The razor is placed in posi-
 tion at the upper end of the strop. which, of course, is flexible, and the strop pulled back and forth The strop thus passes alternately over each side of the blade, catching it at

A PAIR OF MYSTERIES SOLVED.
MT. MacSwilllger Now Knows the Fate of Old Trunks and Suit
 Cases sf

T used to wonder" said Mir. Mac 6williger, what become of all the old leather trunks and suit cases and handbags and that sort of thing. Of course they must wear out and be thrown away, but you never saw an old leather trunk on the rubbish carts of the Street Cleaning Department, did you?
 T never did, never; and still they must go somewhere; and I wondered where. Now I know, or I think know. They go into meat pies and the stews and things that you get in boarding houses. used to wonder where they got the beef that they put into these pies, it was so tough; but now know. They buy these old leather trunks and cut 'em up into suitable sized chunks and make this leather beef up into meat pies.
 Tt is true that never yet found in a boarding house meat pie or beef stew trunk lock or piece of hinge or any rivets or corner clamps or other trunk hardware, but 1t isn't necessary for me to find these things in the pie to know; there's a whole lot of things that We may not be able to get any actual proof of that we know just the same are true, and this is one of them.
 q may not find any buckles or keys or casters in my meat pie, but don't have to; I know what the meat in the pie is made of we'll enough to satisfy me, and this is to me great, In fact double satisfaction. know now where the boarding house keepers get the meat for these pies, and I know also what becomes of the old hand bags. suit cases and leather trunks New York Sun.
