The general complaint is that tenement
houses cannot be obtained at n rental
in this town. There is plenty Of lumber,
and owners Of lots cannot do better than
to put up small houses for rent to the
many new corners who are beginning to
arrive. and will continue to increase
henceforth. We know Of an instance
occurring in the past week where a family
of three persons we're obliged to domicile
in a disagreeable locality because no
other could be obtained.
Another body of ore has been struck

This will make business lively again in

We think this is but the beginning Of the
revival of prosperity, which we have ell
along predicted.

IMPROVEMENT OF THE HORSE
One Of Best Methods to Encourage In
terest Is Organization Of "Colt
Shows" In FALL
(Ry w. II. ToMsHAYE.l


Nearly every person. whether living
IN the city, village or country, takes
more or less interest in the horse. 1t
Is easy to get an audience when 1t
comes to studying horses, be 1t at a
county fair, farmers institute, or live
stock meeting Of any kind. We all
have our favorites among the horses
In community, and are always ready
to express our opinion as to the merits
and dement's of the individuals.
Such interest should be encouraged
in every community, and one Of the
best ways of doing 1t Is to hold colt
shows" during the fall and winter
months. In the state of Iowa, a num-
Der Of these shows have been held
during the past few years; and they
have done much to improve the horses
in the state
In planning these shows, the first
step is to solicit, among the farmers,
stallion owners and business men, for
prizes that are to be awarded. These
need not be In the form of money, but
may be merchandise, machinery, or
live stock of some kind. After the
prizes have been assured it will be
necessary to advertise the show and
appoint a committee, who should
make personal canvass of the com
munity, to encourage the owners of
colts to bring them out for the con-
test. Proper classification should be
made; so that all colts, such as draft
and light colts, will not be shown In
the same class. Also, have pure-bred
and grades shown in separate classes.
If possible, 1t Is good plan to have
the colts from each township show in
separate classes, and the first prize
winners come together as champions
of the show.
The colt shows may be held In con-
nection with local market days, or
live stock meetings of some kind. Out
side uninterested parties should be
secured to do the Judging; and they
should In each case give reasons for
placing the colts After the judging is
done, practical talks on horse breed
ing, by local men and those secured to
do the judging, should be given.
Colt shows OF this kind will also do
much to advertise the stations in q
community. One Of the best ways Of
judging the value Of a stallion is by
the crop Of colts which he has sired.

Begsar Takes WhlrI at coney Island
and Then Doesn't Dare Return
to His Old Corner.

New York-Wall street has Just lost
one of its most interesting and best
known characters, and at the same
time Is minus a fiourishing business.
The character in question is known as
Blind Charley, and the business is
that Of begging, by which he has ac-
cumulated a fortune of more than
100000.
Kind-hearted brokers. fresh from a
successful turn in the market, have
been cheerful contributors to the bat
tered tin cup OF the blind beggar, and
so generous have been gifts that there
is apparently no reason why Blind
Charley should not have run his for
tune up to the half-milllon mark If he
had only used bit Of discretion. The
trouble began when Charley started
out for Coney Island last week, all
dressed up. He looked about as much
like beggar as Andrew Carnegie or
John d. Rockefeller might look II they
ever took 1t in their heads to give

GOOD BUILDING FOR POULTRY
House Should be About Seven Feet
High in Front and Face the South
Cement Floor Is Best.

In reply to a query the Wisconsin
agriculturist gives the following plans
for poultry house:
"a poultry house in order to be
convenient should be built fourteen or
sixteen feet wide and as long as Is
necessary to accommodate the num-
Der of fowls you wish to keep. 1t
should be about seven feet high in
front and high enough in the rear to
give it enough slope to the roof. Build
1t close to the ground and have it face
the south or southeast. Have 1t To-
Gated on rise Of ground SO that the
drainage will be away from the house.
Fill up the floor with cinders or gravel
and put in a cement floor in the
whole house upon which you can
keep two or three inches of fresh
sandy loan. Have the windows to
the south and east and the roosting
closets in the farthest portion Of the
pens away from the windows.
Divide the house into pens about
eight or ten feet wide A good meth.
cd Of building a poultry house is to
make one pen with cement floor
eight feet wide in the rear of which
is q tight roosting closet and next to
this have a scratching shed ten or
twelve feet wide without any floor ex.
cept dirt floor and have the house
entirely open in front. Provide a
heavy curtain which can be let down
in stormy weather to keep out the
rain and snow. BY building two lay
ing and roosting rooms together and
a scratching shed on each end and
then adding similar sections you can
keep-as many fowls as you choose
and they can be conveniently cared
for especially II you make an alley
in the rear, or you can enter each
pen and scratching shed by providing
a door which swings both ways.

BRING UP RUNDOWN ROADS
Too Little lie Being Taught Of Funda-
mental PrlncipIes--ShouId Begin
at Very Bottom.

There has been good deal said in
the various farm papers and in the
institute bulletins about high road
making, and at the institute meetings
also. The institute meetings and farm
papers of various kinds are telling us
how to bring up rundown farms, and
maintain them, our herds, our focks,
etc, writes G. e. Hasdns in Hoard's
Dairyman. But there is nothing said
in regard to the fundamental princi-
pies, |. e., commencing at the bottom
OF a road and bringing 1t to proper
grade to use a drag on.
Now, / would take road that Is not
sandy, and Is dishing in the middle; l
would get the center and grade and
then / would commence in the middle
and pillow lightly the first two or three
rounds, and go a little deeper until l
got the usual depth of blowing, and
pillow the width of 80 feet cross slope.
! would Go this blowing as early in
the spring as possible and let 1t lie
until the last Of May or first Of June,
II 1t was sod. But In the meantime,
] would run fair heft road drag over
1t occasionally until the last of May or
first Of June, to mellow 1t up into dirt.
Then l would commence outside of
the wheel track providing the travel
was in the center of the road and
Plow again as far as before, and then
keep the road drag in use after every
rain, and use the ditch cleaner occa-
sionally. 7ou will have as nice cross
slope as you could ask for, and cheap
err than any other method.
Our farmers Institutes are doing
great work in our great state Of Wis
consin, which l have no fault to find
with In any respect. But our roads
ought to be first on the list, for we
are at place where we have got to
have practical men along this line
We are not going to have rock roads
all at once, because our state is not in
shape to appropriate money enough to
us to build rock roads in one year, nor
In ten. So | saw we ought to have
the A, B, C's taught at our farmers
Institutes, and through our farm pa
pers along with our high road making,

Diligent search is being made at
Florence, Italy, for the will of Robert
Browning, son of the famous poet,
but so far it has not been found. The
fact that there apparently is no will
is causing considerable gossip, as
the property, of which there is good
deal, both in Asolo and Florence,
will pass to his wife, who was Miss
Coddington of New York, and from
whom he lived apart for years, owing
70 lncompatibility of temper.
Browning's property in Florence In
cluded Casa Guidi, where he spent his
childhood days. When his mother
died the property passed out of the
family, and was acquired by him
few years ago.

West No Place tor Consumption.


Physicians in all of the eastern
states will be asked by the National
Association for the Study and Pre-
vention Of tuberculosis to stop send
ing consumptives in the last stages of
tuberculosis and without sufficient
funds to the southwestern part of the
United States in search of health.
While it is impossible to tell accu-
rately how many consumptives there
are at present living in the states of
Colorado, New Mexico. Arizona, south.
ern California, and Western Texas, 1t
is probable that no less than ten per
cent Of the 100000 people in this
territory have tuberculosis them
selves, or have come to the west be-
cause some member of their family
have had it. Every year, the health
authorities estimate, not less than
10000 consumptives, hopelessly dis
eased, come west to die For these
cases, the climate of this section of
the country can do nothing, and they
are compelled to die in strange sur
roundings and thousands of miles
from home and friends. The National
Association points out further that
from so to 60 per cent Of these adj
vanced cases are too poor to provide
the proper necessaries of life, and
they are either starved to death or
compelled to accept the meager char.
ity which this part of the country af.
fords.

Warden Johnston of Folsom peniten

Footpads, Novel Methods.

Warsaw.-Foodpads who infest the
suburbs of this town have hit on a
novel way of robbing peasants carts
as they drive in laden with provisions.
The peasant drives while his wife
sits at the back of the cart to keep
guard. The thieves jump onto the
cart, put their arms round the wom-
ans waist, kiss her and hustle her
off with endearing terAs. Off runs the
outraged husband to catch his wife.
Meanwhile the Don Juan's accom-
plices take away the provisions and
disappear into the forest.
When the peasant finally gets back
his wife he finds he has been robbed
of all but the cart. The trick is prac.
ticed with great success.

A FOOD CONVERT
Good Food the True Road to Health.

The pernicious habit some persons
still have Of relying on nauseous drugs
to relieve stomach trouble keeps up
the patent medicine business and helps
keep up the army Of dyspeptics.
Observation-Disclosures - is caused
by what is put into the stomach in the
way Of improper food, the kind that
so taxes the strength of the digestive
organs they are actually crippled.
When this state is reached, to resort
to tonics is like whipping a tired
horse with big load. Every addi-
tional effort he makes under the lash
dtminishes his power to move the
load.
Try helping the stomach by leaving
on heavy, greasy, indigestible food
and take on Grape-Nuts--light, easily
digested, full Of strength for nerves
and brain, in every grain Of it. There's
no waste Of time nor energy when
Grape-Nuts is the food.

food, and, after a few weeks steady

workmen Discover Tomb Of Andrea
MorosinI in Venetian Church.
Mummy Also Found.

Venice.-It always pays to scrape
the walls of the churches and palaces
Of Italy, for almost invariably under
the uninteresting outer wash are
found frescoes of more or less value.
This is just what happened here in
the Church Of SITS. John and Paul,
where some frescoed figures of the
evangelists have come to light near
the high altar.
What is, perhaps, more interesting
to the ordinary traveller is the dis
covery in the same church at the
other side of the high altar of a Gothic
sarcophagus Of the fourteenth cen
fury in which a mummifed body was
lying on the back with the head turn
ed to the right. One of the feet was
detached from the body. From the
description 1t was learned that these
we're the remains of Andrea Morosini,
famous warrior and a member of
the family which gave four doges to
Venice. The remains have been left

occasion had dropped dime in Char

Charley was Weather than many OF

Success Of Finger-Print System

Has Been Means of Securing Many
Convictions and Its Use Is Being
Adopted More Widely by
the Police.

indianapolis. operating in

wear gloves, as the detective depart
ment henceforth will pay more at
attention to the practical side of the
fnger-print system Captain Of Detec-
tives Holtz, on recent visit to New
York, found the Dc ectives there we're
making use of the lnger-print system,
and he believes it will be great help
in solving burglaries.
The. detective department here has
used the finger-print system since it
was adopted by the national bureau Of
Identification. 1t has been used, how
ever, more in Identifying prisoners
with the Bertillon system. After
prisoner has been brought in and his
Bertillon identification has been com
pleted, the finger-print cards were
used to verify the Identification more
completely.
When was in New York recently
found the police department using
the finger-print system to identify bur
glars who leave finger prints around
the Job they have done,' said Cap
tain Holtz. Several large hurglaries
have been cleared in the east through
finger prints, and the detectives there
say burglars now wear gloves when
they are at work.
i have always believed the finger
prints practical in police work. Ere
Quently the finger prints Of safe blow
ers are left on the door, and the or
binary burglar is apt to leave finger
prints around door or window.
THE trouble is, the finger print to
be Of any service to police work, has
to be very clear, or the expert is I'M
able to see enough lines to make an
Identification.
Bert Perrott, Bertillon clerk, is also
the f1nger-print expert. Perrott, since
he has taken up the finger prints in
connection with the Bertillon work,
has shown great skill. Recently, as
test, glass bottle was taken into
the detective department at roll call.
Previously the detectives had gone to
Perrott's Office and he took the i'm
preston of their finger tips.
After leaving the bottle Perrot re-
turned to his office. Detective Frank
