Unexpected Testimony Before the
jury Trying the Case.

Syracuse, N. ", May 4.-That
Boss" Murphy asked William Barnes
to help defeat the Blauvelt direct
primary bin. enacted during Governor
Dix's administration, and Barnes said
he would let the Democrats pull their
wi chestnuts out OF the fire, was the
testimony given by the defense in the
Barnes Roosevelt $50, 900 libel trial.
The testimony-that of a former
newspaper correspondent-was one OF
the three big surprises sprung by the
Roosevelt side.
Another correspondent told how
Barnes was ~disguested with Cover
nor Hughes for favoring the anti-race
track bill and Barnes said he and
Hughes could not agree because
Hughes cared more for his conscience
than for votes.
Rulings Favor Roosevelt.
The third surprise of the defense
was the production of a big batch of
correspondence between Boss" Platt
and Barnes. None of the letters re
ferred to Roosevelt, but they were
said to show political relations be.
tween Barnes and Plat.
Platt's son, Edward. produced the
new batch of Platt-Barnes letters.

Quality counts. not sometimes. but

marketing Of poor eggs during the
summer months mounts into the mil.
lions in the aggregate and 10 wholly
unnecessary. Because of the presence
Of 30 many spoiled eggs coming from
the farms the buyer is compelled to
pay lower prices as the poor eggs
are sorted out BY him and must be
disposed of at figures far below the
market price Of good eggs.
Why should not the farm producer
first endeavor to produce good eggs
and then sort them himself and know
positively that he Is selling only tirst
quality eggs? The Gambling OF eggs

by anyone. Arrange a common paste

a small lighted lamp. Make hole
slightly smaller than an egg in one
side of the box directly opposite
the lamp flame and give ventilation
to the lamp by removing the end o.
the box over the lamp and you are
ready to candle eggs accurately.
To produce good first quality eggs
the essentials are healthy hens: good.
wholesome food: clean nests: daily
gathering of eggs and the removal
of all males from the laying flock.
After this the eggs must be kept
in a cool. moist temperature. Given
these conditions of production and

At MERRIMACK
Telephone and Telegraph
Companies Have Diff
cu1ties With Wires.

At Merrimack on Wednes day large
number of men were employed in re
pairing break in the wires of >the
American Telegraph and Telephone Co.
They broke down at the river and ended
the service for the time being. A crew
of men was sent at once and found diff
ficulty in putting temporary wires across
on account of the condition of the riv-
er. The constant rise and overhowing
as a result of the new dam at Prairie
du Sac and the melting of the snow
made the task a difficult one. 1t was
necessary to change the location Of
spanning the river and it was also de
cided to use a cable to lie at the bot
tom of the stream. The twenty or more
different wires connected with the wires
in the cable willobviate future troubles.
It was also decided to change the land
ing place and course through the village.

where there is measles are not permit
ted to attend school. All physicians,
therefore, should report measles and
the health officer should placard the

up such placard until complete recov-

A city, however, if in the Judgment
of the local board of health it is
deemed necessary, may issue an order
that measles be quarantined.

such measure would assist materially
in eliminating the disease.

erty of considerable size and value and
heretofore assessed as a part of the
property of the various towns in Sauk

commonly reported that the Wisconsin
Power Company contemplates granting
to the state certain property in the two
counties and the board believes this is
to avoid taxes. The district attorney
was authorized to ascertain from the
tax commission the effect that such a
grant may have on the assessment in
the two counties. If the tax commits

such changed conditions, the clerk of
the board was instructed to forward a
