The Sunday baseball bill, introduced
by Bartling of Otoe, passed the senate

he opposed tho bill because it forced

which did not want it. Inasmuch as
the sonate refused to amend the bill
to permit local option in the matter
ho could not support it.
Two young sows Chester Whites
on tho tarm of W. P. Rhoadarmor, in
Grant precinct, recently gavo birth to
twenty-nine nico little piggies. The
mothers were confined in tho same pen

to tell the proper number to accredit to
eaoh mother. But when he looked in
tho pen ho found twenty-nine, and they
are at this writing all alive and doing
fine. At this rate of progression it
