Dairy Profits.

Profits in dairying do not depend so
much upon the number Of cows kept
but upon the kind. This fact Is being
realized more and more as the dairy
industry increases. One way to In.
crease the acreage of a farm is to In
crease the fertility Of the soil Of the
farm. Similarly one way to increase
a dairy herd IL to increase the cows

YOUNG BRIDE WATCHES
FATHER HANG HIMSELF.
Daughter Unaware OF Tragedy
Until Too Late.

CLEVELAND, o., April 15.-Sitting
on the porch of her parents home, at
B%reksville, O., Mrs. Alice Wehman, a
bride of two weeks, watched her father
hang himself, unaware until too late of
what he was doing.
The suicide, William Breen, a retired
farmer, Sc years old, had been despond-
ent through i'll health for some time.
After vainly trying to persuade his
daughter to go to her room and lie
down he procured a rope and some
tools and went to an uthouse in the
full view of Mrs. Wehman. In answer
to her questions he said he was going
to fix the door, which was loose.
Not until her father had kicked the
chair on which he was standing from
under his feet and was actually in his
death struggle did the young woman
realize the meaning of his actions. Her
screams aroused the neighbors but
Breen was lead when cut down.

G. 0. ?. ALDERMEN
PLAN BERTHs FOR
THEIR HENCHMEN
To Gust Nineteen Democrats Un-
der Pretense of Cutting
Down Expenses.

While the caucus last night of the
Republican members of the Common
Council was ostensibly for the purpose
of reducing the forces in the different
offices for the purpose of cutting down
expenses, 1t is claimed the true motive
was to remove Democrats to make room
for Republicans. Altogether nineteen
persons are slated for removal, and the
transferring of two others, which, it is
said, will mean the saving of $23, 900 a
year.
The positions will be filled at a meet
ing of a committee of the Aldermen next
Wednesday afternoon, when each Re-
publican member of the Council will be
allotted his share of the vacancies.
Among the offices that will be affected
is the city clerks office, tax receivers.
the ~custodian's and weights and meas
ures.
The caucus recommended the increase
Of the salary of Wilson j. Vance, secre-
tary to Mayor Haussling, from 50, 100 to
SO, $50.
AT present there are -four persons
charged to the city clerks Office, who
will be placed on the pay-rolls of the
departments they work for, namely,
w. E.. Grinme. who is in the Second
District Court office; John P. Manning,
in the law department; John e.
Fletcher, in the license department, and
M. Gelb, in the gas inspectors office.
Thomas j. Mead is to be transferred
from the smoke inspectors office to an
other department, and Philip Mcmahon
is to be transferred from the elevators,
as he Is not able to perform the duty.
Both men are Civil War veterans.
Among those who, It is said, are likely
to be dropped, is James Hart, office jan
itor, who receives 81. 500 a year; two or
binary tanitors, two elevator men, one
telephone operator and four watchmen
A saving of $3.50 a year is to be made
at the Almshouse by discharging the
driver and helper and having the work
done by one of the inmates.
1t was decided to give widows the
preference for vacancies that a occur
in the cleaning department. 1t was also
recommended that il position of official
timekeeper be abolished, as it is consid-
cred a useless office.
