OFFICERS IMPOSE ON
 GERMAN CIVILIANS

Munich, August 22.-A civil court pro- ceeding, growing indirectly out of a trial by courtmartial, has directed attention to an extraordinary case showing once more the relations existing between military persons and civilians. The case in ques- ton is some months old, but it escaped notice at the time it occurred. The defendant before the courtmartial was a Lieutenant Seider of the garrison in 1ngolstadt. The facts as brought out on trial were these:
 Lieutenant Seider's manservant had a
 quarrel with the domestic servant of the landlord of the house in which the lieu tenant and his wife had an apartment, in the course of which the maid declared that the lieutenants are a dirty pack who don't clean up their mess. They are
 brood" The lieutenants wife sent for
 her husband This female says we are
 a brood" she said pointing to the maid.
 The lieutenant thereupon struck the girl twice with his saber.
 "You are acting like a washerwoman to mix up in such quarrel" said the
 wife of the landlord, who had seen the occurrence You ought to be ashamed as an officer to strike woman with your sword"
 The lieutenant struck the women in the face with his hand; she raised a broom
 against him and he attacked her with his sword. cutting both her hands, The courtmartial found Seider guilty and sentenced him to 40 days imprison-
 ment in fortress. The superior mili-
 tary court at Muremburg, to which the lieutenant appealed, acquitted him on the ground that he had acted in self derense. Actions for Insult against the two women resulted in a fine of SIP for the wife of the landlord and $250 for
 the maid Their appeals were dismissed.

new STYLE PENMANSHIP
TO BE TRIED IN SCHOOLS
Supt. Thurston to Compare It With
the System Now
In Use.

Pupils in Washington's public schools
are to study new system of penman-
ship this year as an experiment to de-
termine whether the proposed system
or the one now in vogue is the best.
Ernest l. Thurston, superintendent of
schools, has been particularly inter-
ested in the teaching of penmanship.
and is endeavoring to find out which
methods of instruction and which sys-
TENS are the best.
The new hand is to be more OF
running" style than that now employ
ed, and essentially different from the
vertical system taught several years
ago. 1t is believed that the new run
ming" type may meet the demands OF
business men better than the present
style. Examples of the new type are
to be put before the children IN the
near future, but cannot at present be-
cause the copy books" have not yet

HIGH PRICES COMING.
Cost of Feed to Boost Eggs and Poul.
hy This Winter.

Farmers and others who have eggs
and poultry for sale will have no cause
during the coming winter to complain
of low prices for their produce, dealers
are predicting Scarcity and high
prices for feed will surely be reflected
in corresponding high prices for eggs.
as we'll as live and dressed poultry, 1t Is
declared, and those poultrymen who
held onto their stock during the fall,
instead of sacrificing it as feed prices
mounted steadily skyward. are certain
to reap a harvest
Eggs of the very best quality will
undoubtedly reach IS cents dozen this
winter" said a member of local COM
mission Arm the other day; Ihis, OF
course, means retail, though the price
that commission men and dealers Will
have to pay for this class of eggs will
undoubtedly be higher than 1t has been
in Washington for many years
There are two reasons for this he
continued. THE first is the high and
steadily advancing cost of feed: the
other is the fact that early in the fali
farmers and poultry raisers disposed OF
thousands of hens and pullets such as
are usually held for winter layers. The
high prices of feed forced many of these
people to dispose OF practically their
entire fiocks. at prices which were low
er than have ever known in the local
market. Hens that in ordinary years
would have brought around Is cents a
pound were sold for % or 80 cents each,
and such hens weighed, live, from three
pounds up.
The result of this has been that the
laying flocks have been depleted to such
AN extent that the winter egg crop is
bound to be greatly curtailed Storage
men have suffered such losses the past
year or two that they have been afraid
to store many eggs, and this is bound to
contribute to the high price of the fresh
stock.
Altogether. It seems to me that those
poultrymen who held onto their flocks
of pullets and hens during the fall can
not fail to reap a rich harvest this win

eggs and bacon for breakfast will have
