ing attorney located at Stanton. 1t
appears that liquor dealer had his
bond executed and the same was APP
proved by the township board. But
when il came to the county treasur-
er he refused TO issue a receipt for
same on the grounds that the bonds
did not specify the building i'm which
the liquor was to be sold. The per-
son who executed the bond thereupon
took IL to a notary public. who insert
ed In the bond a description OF the
building The sureteies were not pres
ent and the bond was not re-executed
after correction. The bond was then
sent TO the country treasurer without
being resubmitted to the township
board. and the county treasurer issued
receipt for the same.
The prosecuting attorney applied to
the attorney general rs TO the legality
of tho bond Attorney General Bird
says that the statute says: THE prin-
cipal shall not be allowed 20 sell liq-
uors in any other building or place
than that specified in the bond" Bird

at Watseka, III.


Watseka, ILL.,. March 1.-THE much
discussed Sayler murder case was
called for trial today i'm the Iroquois
county court, with Judge Dibell on

William r. Miller, John Grunden and
Lucy Sayler indicted for the murder
of John Byron Sayler. the husband Of
Mrs. Sayler Grunden was the father
in-law of the alleged victim of the
tragedy.
Sayler was killed in his own house
on the night of July IL last by pistol
shot said to have been fired by DIR.
Miller. The killing is said to have re-
suited from the discovery by Sayler Of
an alleged intimacy between his wife
and the physician. The latter, 1t Is
said, will maintain that he fired IN
self-defense after Sayler had attacked
him with a hatchet. The prosecution,
on the other hand. will endeavor to
prove that the killing was the result
Of a conspiracy between DIR. Miller.
Mrs. Sayler and the latter's father. All
parties concerned were prominent citi-
zens of Crescent City, where the ira
gedy occurred. The slain man was
well known throughout this section of

WILL DESTROY SILLY CARDS.
Federal Authorities Start a Crusade on
Insults BY Mail.

New York, March ia systematic
crusade against the silly postal card
is being waged by the authorities in
several of the larger cities of the Unit
ed States, according to an announce
ment by Postmaster Morgan.
Replying to a committee from the
Ancient order of Hibernians, which
lodged a protest against the sending
Of offensive st. Patrick's day post
cards, Mr.. Morgan said:
People may as well understand that
II is only a waste of time and money
to try to indulge in the sending of silly
POSTAL cards through the United States
mails.
ANY cards or other matter that is
vulgar or an insult to any person or
race will be destroyed whenever II
reaches this office.
"Our office has destroyed thousands
of them already this season. Hun
dreds of thousands were destroyed by
postmasters last year."

Situation in Philadelphia.
VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Census Bureaus Statement Concern
ing Method of Ascertaining II.


washington, ID. c., March 14.-ln-
quiries have been made of the Cen
sus Bureau whether farm products
should be valued by farmers, i'm reply
ing to census enumerators, at the gen.
eral wholesale prices or at the actual
prices obtained by the producer 1t
was pointed out by the inquirers that
many farmers sell a proportion OF their
eggs for breeding at much higher than
the regular price. Others sell part or
all Of their milk, butter, and cream at
retail. Quite a number sell pure-bred
live stock of various kinds at more or
less fancy prices. The Bureaus cor
respondents are of the opinion that
if sales are quoted in this way in the
census reports, the results might be
somewhat uncertain as b.. J for the
average market prices.
Responding to these inquiries, Cen
sus Director Durand states that in
forming its inquiries and instructions
with reference to the value of domes-
tic animals and fowls, the Census
Bureau must necessarily follow the
lines laid down i'm the law governing
its action. That law requires the Bu-
Teau TO ascertain the number and val
ne of animals and fowls. The value
sought is not the value of some par
ticuar class of animals or fowls, but
of all animals and fowls. 1t is the
amount at which the animals and
fowls can be sold. Good pure -blooded
animals will sell for more. and thus
have a greater value, than the poor
animals. Where there are many pure
blooded. the average will be higher
than where the opposite condition OF
affairs prevails. but, ms a matter OF
fact, the pure blooded animals are
so thoroughly distributed that they
left no appreciable influence upon the
average published by the twelfth CEN
sus. except in the case of the young
colts of the state of New Jersey.
No appreciable influence on the
average price or value OF eggs. milk
or butter Is observed in consequence
of the practice mentioned by the in
quirers. The high priced eggs, milk
butter etc, are found about as much
IN one part of the country as in an
other. The average which the census
viii publish is not that OF n particu-
lar class of eggs. but OF all eggs pro-
duced. II Is the same for all animals
fowls and animal products. The reia-
tive number and value of the animals
and products to which specific atten'
ton has been called does not exert. fo'
the country as a whole or for many oi
the states. an influence sufficient t'
make the average published by th'
census materially different from th'
average marketprices.
