Devise Simple Method To Beat tho
END ,SS Chain"

Baton Rouge June 25.-The com
| mnttee on req ration and election
| laws met today \ dh Mr.. Powell pre-
siding, to consid3r the Johnson bill
regulating elections. The committee
was unable to complete its consid-
| Grafton of the measure, because OF
the absence OF Mr.. Gilmore, who had
with i'm a large part of the draft OF
the bill.
At the proceedings today the com
m;ttee disposed Of the section of the
bill intende to do away with the
endless chain system of voting,
by which it is claimed that through
sacrificing one ballt through cast
ing blank, and secretly taking the
blank ballot away from the poll, it
can be marked as desired, handed
to a henchman and voted. The sys-
tenn decided upon by the committee
to stop this is to have a perforated
slip at the bottom of each ballot
with serial number printed on it.
The number of the blank ballot
given voter is kept by the clerk
and while there is no mark of iden-
LITIGATION on this ballot after it is
cast, yet the number on the slip
that is torn off at the bottom of
this ballot when il is deposited in
the ballot box must correspond with
the number of the blank ballot that
was hande to him. The proposed
system will prevent taking the
blank ballot away from the poll to
be secretly marked and turned over
to henchman of election manipu-
lators to be voted.

WARTIME TRAGEDY,
Death Claims Widow of William b.
MImfOrd i'm kanSa City.

| New Orleans States June &c: "A
| tragedy of the days when General
Ben Butler Of the Federal army was
| in charge of the city has hcrn re
called by the death of Mrs. William
Il. Mumford in Kansas City. Mrs
| MumfOrd was the widow of the man
who was credited with having torn
| down the American flag from the
| United States mint, when Farragut's
fleet captured the city in 1862 and
dragged it through the streets.
Historians state that while Mum
fcrd did not strip the flag from its
fastenings he did drag it through
the mire and others aided in tear
ing it into shreds. For this he was
arrested and later condemned and
Hanged by order of General Butler.
There are many in the city who re
/ 'ember the incident.
Mrs. Mumford was visitor to
The city several years ago. She is
reported to have died at the home
of her son, Charles. She leaves an
other son, William B."
The incident related to Mumford's
dragging the flag through the
streets is-a fabrication. Mumf0rd
tore the flag from its staff before
the city of New Orleans had surren-
dered. The flag was raised by one
Of Farragut's fleet Up to that time
The flag of the COnfederacy was
Haunting its defiance at the fleet in
the river.
The execution of William r.
Mumford was a crime for which no
extenuation can be offered. This
crime has damned Buffers memory
forever. Mumford was hanged from
window of the United States mint
facing Espianade street. The pub
Usher of the Caucasian, then in his
teens" who had ran the block
AIDE" on official Confederate bust
ness, witnessed this crime. Mum
ford ds resolute to the end. He
died rs became patriot and a man.
In and around and about the United
States mint and all the streets adj
iacent We're thousands of Yankee
soldiers. The hanging of Mumford
was designed to terroriZe the citi-
zens Of New Orleans.

BUILDING UP A
GOOD DAIRY HERD.
Start With a Pure Bred Bull
and Weed Out Poor Cows.

There is no such thing as a dual
purpose breed Of cattle, There are
some dual purpose individuals. but no
breeds, writes a Kansas dairyman in
the Farmers Mail. l would not advise
beginner to start in with valuable
pedigreed animals except in the case
of the sire. Start with such cows as
you may have or buy few grades
then get good sire and don't let a
few dollars stand in the way of you,
getting the right one
Next, by the use of scales, weed out
the poor cows and keep the best heifer
calves to take their places. In this
way a good herd can be built up In a
remarkably short time, and there is a
pride in breeding up and handling such
herd. besides the increased profits
After few years experience it might
tered heifers and then build up herd
of the best pedigreed dairy cattle pos
sible. using the same methods as be-
FORE
1t Is important that cows have gen.
tie treatment always. Whenever a
man loses his temper with the cows he
also loses just that much butter fat.
Under no circumstances should a club
or whip be used | have found that
hogs and a manure spreader work in
especially we'll with a herd of dairy
cows. Keep all the cows your land
will support. and if by these methods
you do not build up your land and In

The Improbable Cow.

The milking of COW more or less
finding out at the end of that time that
she has failed to pay her feed bill by

something more than surprise in her

As long as poultry Is kept In a hap
hazard way it will not yield a large
profit
The best egg producers are not al
ways the best fowls for market pur-
poses
The ponltryman should never sell his
best hens unless he intends to go out
sf business
Lack of grit and overfeeding will
cause idleness and stop the egg yield
as quickly as anything else
