CIRCULATION 1895.

The annexation petitions, we under
stand are now being circulated freely
among the citizens of Brookland and
the Dutch FOX. With what success
the promoters are meeting, we have
not been able to ascertain; but we
are told that the argument used in
favor of annexation is that the bridges.
which are now heavy burden to the
people of the two sections, will De
made free once the territory. becomes
a part or parcel of Richland county.
Just what assurance is given, or upon
what grounds this statement ls based,
we do not know. 1t is admitted, how
ever, that these bridges are very
burdensome to all our people whose
market is Columb mbia, hut we want to
impress upon the minds of those who
are considering the proposition, the
fact that, once they become annexed
to Richland, they will have to help
pay for the freeing Of these bridges
Possibly Columbia does not care to
take all the responsibility, and the
idea is that the people of Lexington
should bear their share of the burden.
Whether this idea has occurred in tn
minds of those behind the move or
not, it will, in the end, wind up with
those who 20 into Richland helping to
pay for the freeing of the bridges.
We believe, however, that the people
of Columbia will ultimately pay for
the freeing of the bridges whether
there be annexation or no annexati n.
We have been reliably inform I'd that
only few names of the required num-
ber to order the election is now need
ed. and once the matter comes to a
vote there can be no doubt as to what
the result will be.
We have every reason to believe,
and have always contended, that Lex
ipgton should help free these bridges,
and it is understood that, at the next
session of the legislature special tax
levy for Lexington's share or the pur-
chase monev for these bridges will be
provided. This would place the bur-
den equally upon III our citizens, and
would be 20 light that it would hardly
be felt. But the citizen wh> votes
himself into Richland county with the
belief that his taxes will be lower and
that he will no longer have bridge toll
to pay, will find out differently when
it is too late. We would, therefore,
urge the people to be aware Of the
glowing pictures now being drawn by
the disgruntled gentleman from Co.
lumbia, who has an axe to grind and
whose motives are purely selfish.
The same blessings and privileges
can be enjoyed now by the people Of
Brookland and the Fork, as they will
enjoy if they 20 into another county.
Why make change;

Alfalfa Biscuit Fine
 Food, and Inexpensive

Out in Nebraska they are eating al- fslia biscuit The alfalfa biscuit is something new under the sun. Half the families ID Omaha are said to be eating it, and they like it. The dry alfslis leaves are ground and mixed with meal and flour. Here is the rec- ipe as given in an Omaha special:
 "To make the alfalfa meal and flour the grass is cut early in June and at a time when it is in full bloom. It Is cured in the sun sad, if possible, without being wet by ra;n. When thoroughly dry the leaves are stripped from the stalks and these leaves, mix ed with wheat at the ratio of one third alfalfa and two-thirds wheat, ere ground into s cosrse meal. This meal IS used for cakes as well as for breakfast food. That desired for bread and pastry is ground still finer and bolted, and when placed upon the market can be cold for about so cents per sack of fifty pounds, whereas a good grade of wheat four will retail at s1. 50 10 sl.75 a sack of the same weight"
 The alfalfa food products are said to be remarkably nutritious. The biscuits and cakes made of it are green in color

George c. Cound, who lived in Tucson for many years, and was ID employ of the Southern Pacific. was awarded judgment for s25,O0D Thurs day against the Santa Fe railroad by the Federrl court in Fl Paso. The verdict carries with it the largest judgment ever returned by a. jury in the Fl Paso division of Federal Court
 Cound entered suit for 30,0Jo. asking judgment for damages on the ground that a hsndrsil on the top of A Santa Fe freight car pulled out when he grasped it, and that he fell to tine rails below. His left ear became deal and his left leg partially psrslyzed, he claimed. The jury deliberated but fifteen minutes before returning the verdict.
