BRANDED WITHOUT A PAIN

In April the coats of cattle become
dull and dead, and will rub off easily,
disclosing the close new coat under
meath. In Farming It," Judge Henry
| A. Shute describes o he discovered
this fact. One morning, in rubbing
down his Jersey COW. he found that
| with his fingers he could pull the old
coat off in tufts, and that she appar-
| emily enjoyed having it pulled.
without really thinking of what l
was doing, l wrote my initials, II. A.
s., on her back by pulling out the dead
hair. Seeing how easily | could do
| this. l drew. or rather pulled. on her
! side near the curve of the belly, a gro
| tesque figure of a small boy. then a
| circular brand on her shoulder, and
| three KS on her flank. Then | quietly
led her to the hitching post at the side
of the house and awaited develop
ments.
In a moment my wife came to the
door with wide-open eyes. For gra-
cious sake, what have you been doing
to that cow" she demanded.
"Oh, nothing" / replied. That's the
way range cattle are branded. This
cow had a good many owners. and evil

ter"
She had beloved a good deal when
1 took away her calf. but l did not
say so, for l always like to get a rise
out Of my wife.
"I think it is just horrid in you. and
about the cruelest thing | ever heard
of, and you have just spoiled her
looks"
Now out OF the corner of my eye |
could see old Cyrus, the ncighborhood
nuisance, peering over the fenco and
listening to the conversation. After
| giving him time to satisfy himself
thoroughly. l led the COW back to the
barn, followed by my wife, n there
illustrated the matter by drawing on
the off side of the animal a serpent
and a circular brand, while the delight
! ed animal stood with eyes half-closed
in ecstasy.
Much relieved and amused, my vile
went back to the house, laughing over
the ridiculously decorated animal.
But the affair did not end there. Old
Cyrus brought a charge for Cruelty
in burning. cutting. branding and 9TH
erwise torturing a certain Jersey cow"
and / was arrested and brought to
trial.
At the close of the trial ! assured
the court that the COW was then and
there in transitu. INT that I should
call her as my first witness. and asked
the court to adjourn to the square.
1 stripped off the blanket, and there
in plain sight we're the various marks
on the cows hide. At my request the
court and the attorney ran their hands
over her and found no scars.
Now to show your honor how these
marks were made-"
1T Is unnecessary" said the court.
81 have owned cows myself. and per-
haps I can illustrate as well as you;"
and stepping forward. with rapid
hands he fashioned upon her side the
word "Stung." at which there was a
roar of delight from the crowd.
Respondent discharged" he oontin-
ued, "and court is adjourned"

Price of Dairy Cows.

The great demand for dairy prod
ucts has caused the price Of good
dairy COWS to be very high. Reports
from associations of dairymen show
that 1t is impossible to buy first class
dairy COWS at ever $50 a head. With
such a demand for cows In old dairy
districts, there will be few good cows
moved into new dairy territory. So,
the Only way new districts a be sup
piled must be by breeding up the COM
mon stock by the use of good dairy
bred bulls.

suspected insanity from all parts of
the city.
Heretofore insane patients we're
brought to Bellevue in patrol wagons

will go out On calls with the ambu-
lance. This is expected to result in
more humane and more intelligent
handling of patients.
This new service will cost the city
about $4,000 a year.

In order to relieve a farm hand of

If This Medicine Does Not

A physician who made a speciality
of stomach troubles, particularly dys-
pepSia, after years of study perfected
the formula from which Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets leads US to believe them
to be the greatest remedy known for
the relief of acute Indigestion and
chronic dyspepsia. Their ingredients
are soothing and healing TO the in
famed membranes of the stomach.
They are rich in pepsin, one OF the
greatest digestive aids known to medi-
cine. The relief they afford is almost
immediate. Their use with persisten-
cy and regularity for a short time
brings about a cessation OF the pains
caused by stomach disorders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will insure
healthy appetite, aid digestion and
promote nutrition. As evidence Of our
sincere faith in Rexan Dyspepsia Tab

her brother, Theodore Phillips, aged 10,
were arrested at the depot tonight by

its disappearance. They said they were
intending to come to Salt Lake.
Early this afternoon Theodore Phil

Mrs. Dennis, 659 North Third East

been attacked by a burglar. When the
neighbors entered the room they found
Miss Phillips apparently unconscious.
She was soon revived" and then said
that tall dark man had entered her
room, and when she screamed he hit
her with a hammer in the forehead. Her
brother insisted that he had found her
lying insensible on the floor.
Tn absence of any such mark as a
manner would make on her forehead
caused her story to be doubted. Sheriff
Judd at once ordered an investigation.

fessed.

GAS FRANCHISE IS
GRANTED At PROVO
City Council Gives Right to
Construct and Maintain
Plant.
tspecial 70 The Herald RepubIican.)

Especial 10 Inc Herald Repun1cdn.)
Provo, April 26.-The city council to-
night granted H. G. Blumenthal of
Provo a franchise to construct and
maintain a plant for the manufacture
of gas, and the right to lay gas pipes
through the city streets. The franchise
is for fifty years, and 1t is stipulated
that work is to be commenced within
one year, and one mile of piping must
be completed within two years. In re-
turn for the franchise, the company
which Mr.. BlUmenthal represents will
furnish the city with gas for municipal
purposes at one-half the rate charged
to other consumers. After twenty
years the city will receive per cent of
the gross earnings of the company.
1t was agreed that the maximum
rates to be charged consumers will be
$3.50 per thousand cubic feet for fuel
purposes, and 81 per thousand cubic
feet for Illuminating purposes UP to
such time when the population reaches
10000. After this has been reached the
charge is 70 be reduced to S125 per
thousand cubic feet for fuel purposes
and S1.50 for Illuminating purposes.
The company, capitalized at 100000
expects TO begin work at once. In ad-
dition to local business men, there are
several Chicago capitalists interested
with Mr.. Blumenthal in the enterprise.
The ordinance that seeks TO regulate
billiard and pool rooms in this city was
passed. 1t prohibits the use of screens
in all pool rooms, and provides against
gambling and the sale of liquid refresh
ments. 1t also states that there must
be no doors leading from these places
