LOCAL ITEMS.

A peculiar intrument put in an ap- pearance yesterday of significant import. This took the form of pe- tition which was then being circu- lated. The petition prays for the abolition or curtailment of revenue or position of City Attorney. The strangest part of the matter is that no one appears to know who is res ponsible for the instrument. It is addressed to the Council.
 MT. E. E.. Van Ness, principal of the native school at Unalakleet, has conditionally accepted the Pre- sidency of the Trivicci College, Nash vile, Tenn. MT. Van Ness was formerly a professor in this institu tion as we'll as secretary, and his departure from Unalakleet is greatly regretted as he has proved himself an able and versatile teacher, en- dearing himself to his pupils and gaining the respect of those with whom he came in daily contact.
 The case of the United States versus Karl Anderson, charged with larceny of gold dust, was continued over until October s, Judge Tucker who had taken the defense's motion under advisement on Thursday even vened yesterday morning.

In the meantime the de- fendant is released on bonds.

RAISE MORE LIVE STOCK.
This Will Lower Cost Of Living, As
We Are Short OH Cattle and Sheep.

New York, Jan. 25.-The danger
point Is rapidly being attained In the
| matter of an adequate meat supply
| for the United States, according to a
compilation made public yesterday
by the Foreign Trade Department Of
| the National City Bank. The compi-
lation compares the number Of food
animals available in the United
States on January 1. 1917, as shown
| BY a recent statement of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, with the num-
Der available on January l, 1907, and
shows a decline Of more than 10,-
900, ,OOC in the number Of cattle other
than milch cows, and Of nearly 81
100000 in the number Of sheep from
1907 to 1917. Meantime the popu-
lation of Continental United States
| increased 100000.
Hogs, the bank said, were the only
class of food animals showing an IN
| crease. the number of swine in the
| United States having been on Janu-
airy /, 1917. about 100000 great
er than in 1907.
This large decrease in the num-
Der Of food animals" said the state
mcnt. has not, however, reduced the
value Of the entire group. On the
contrary, the advance in price of
meats has greatly increased the
value Of the reduced number. The
Department Of Agriculture figures,
on which these compilations are
based, put the value Of 4Q,Si9, 900
cattle, other than milch cows, on
farms in the United States on Janu-
ary |, 1917, at $1,465, ,662, 900, while
he value Of the S ,655, 900 head on
January |, 1907, was but $SS1, ,567,-
600.
"The average per head was Of
milch cows IN 1907, $3".7S, and in
1917, $o6.99 per head; all other
cattle in 1907, $17.09 per head, and
in 1917. $35.SS; sheep in 1907.
$3.S3 per head. and in 1917, STA,
and swine in 1907, $7.63 per head,
and at the beginning of this year,
$11.73 per head. Thus COWS, other
cattle and sheep have doubled in
price per head in ten years, while
swine show an increase of so per
cent per head in value in that pc
riod."
At the same time, the banks state
ment pointed out that the adverse
value Of horses and mules had de-
clined in recent years, in which oc-
Cured the great increase in the use
OF horseless vehicles, the average per
head Of horses having fallen from
$110 in 1911 to $1O3 in 1917, and
Of mules from $120 in 1911 to $11S
per head In 1917. From this, the
bank reaches the conclusion that the
automobile had apparently averted
an increase in price of draft animals
during the period in which the price
of food animals increased from so to
100 per cent.

This wa1 In Europe puts things in
such uncertainty that no man can

The sure and certain increase in

no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.

FOR Al YEARS A PRISONER,
POmelOy Gets Humane Privileges.
Convicted of Murder ut is.

Boston, Jan. 24.-Jesse Pomeroy,
who has been for t years in solitary
confinement in the State prison at
CharlestOwn, was granted equal
privileges with other prisoners by the
state executive council to-day. Con-
victcd of murder at Is, Pomeroy two
years later was locked up in a cell
lighted from a window in the ceiling
so that he might not gaze on his EEL
low men. He was exercised .,art
from other prisoners and barred. rs
far as possible, from human com
paniOnship. Two years ago the sen
tence was enforced less vigorously to
accord with modern ideas of prison
reform.
Now, at the age of 81 years, Pome-
roy will move into cell where he
can see passers-by, will be allowed
with them at the church services and
at the prison entertainments and
will be given such light work in the
prison shops as his somewhat en-
feebled health will permit.
Pomeroy was convicted Of the bru-
tai murder Of two children. following
a series of degenerate acts which had
terroriZed the South Boston and Dor
chester districts Of this city. He was
sentenced to be hanged, but because
Of his youth the sentence was COM
muted to solitary Imprisonment for
life. On September Z, 1876, he was
placed in his solitary cell at the
Charles street Jail.
But he did not drop out Of the
public eye. Reports Of sensational
attempts to escape, carried through
with patient ingenuity rarerly found
outside Of fiction, became public at
frequent intervals. His mother, un-
til her death two years ago. never re-
laXed her efforts to secure his par
don and was allowed to visit her son
regularly,

when he is relieved by another Off
Ger, who continues to operate the
searchlight till daylight.
The name Of every person enter
ing any Of the houses is taken by the
officer in charge OF the seadchlight,
and all who arrive in automobiles or
other vehicles, their names are also
taken, together with the license num-
ber, before they are allowed to enter
the house Of their destination. The
names are then turned over to Mayor
Higgins, who has them registered in
large ledger at the city hall, where

TWO INTERESTING boats.
U. S. Builds Biggest War Sub In
World for Spain.

Two submarines which are inter-
esting the world at present are the
German merchant submarine
Deutschland, which is expected to ar
rive soon in this country on her third
trans-At lantic trip, and the Isaac
Peral, the first war vessel to be built
In the United States for the Spanish
government, and the largest war sub
marine afloat. She went from the
Fore River yards at Quincy, Mass.
where she was built, to New London,
Conn. The Isaac Peral took on am
munition at New London and then
went $50 miles to sea for target
practice for few days. Then the
submarine will start for Spain. 1t
is expected that Spanish cruiser
will convoy her across the Atlantic.
She has a Spanish crew and is in
command Of Lieut.. Carranza.
Baltimore agents Of the German
merchant submarine owners have
been notified to expect in this coun-
try soon not only the Deutschland
but another merchant undersea boat
twice as big as the craft in which
Capt. Paul Koenig has paid two visits
to this country. Paul g. l.. Hilken,
who Is actively handling the Ameri-
can interests Of the submarine COM
pany, has expressed doubt as to
which U-boat will get here first. The
Baltimore agents have been notified
that the Deutschland and the new
giant submarine left Germany about
the same time. The advices which
reached this country, however, did
not state which left first, nor did it
mention the relative speed Of the two
submarines. Capt. Koenig may not
command the Deutschland. To him,
it is said, has been entrusted the big
new submarine, the name of which is
unknown, and it is understood he is
plotting her under the Atlantic to
this country. 1t is said Lieut.. Frying,
who was on the Deutschland on her
other two voyages to this country, is
now in command Of that vessel.
