PERKINS IS ARRESTED.
i gormer rVetv York JL , fe Official !
< * IiarKTfil with Larceny.
Go'irge W. Perkins , formerly * vice-
president of the New York Life l isur-
ance Company. Wednesday was arrest-
ed in New York on
a warrant charging
grand larceny in the
first degree. The
warrant was issued
by Magistrate Joseph -
soph Moss. Before
he was arraigned
his counsel applied
to Justice Green-
baum in the Su-
o. * Vv. i'KKKiji-s. premc Court for a
writ of habeas corpus , directing the
production of Mr. Perkins before Jus-
tice Grcenbaum. The writ was grant-
ed.
This proceeding takes the case from
the jurisdiction of the magistrate and
carries it directly to the Supreme Court ,
which , however , is not the highest court
in the state , there being an appellate
division and a court of appeals still
higher , to which the case might be ap
pealed.
In the petition in which Mr. Perkins
asked for a writ of habeas corpus lie
declared that he is "imprisoned and re
strained of his liberty" by the detec
tive and that he is not committed by
judgment of any tribunal. In his peti
tion Mr. Perkins declared also that his
imprisonment and restraint arc illegal
and that the warrant is void in that
no evidence of any crime or act justify-
ing his arrest had been submitted to
Magistrate Moss , and that the magis-
trate was without jurisdiction to issue
the warrant
The charge is based on contributions
by the New York Life Insurance Com
pany to the Republican campaign com
mittee in 1904. Contributions of the
New York Life to the Republican cam-
naign fundin 1904 were made in the
form of payments aggregating $48,702.-
50 from George W. Perkins to Cornelius
N. Bliss.
Mr. Perkins before the Armstrong in
vestigating committee on Sept 14 last
testified concerning a check dated Dec.
oO , 1904. signed by Treasurer Randolph
and Assistant Treasurer Shipman and
reading : "Pay to the order of J. P.
Morgan & Co. , $48.702.50. "
"That was money , " said Mr. Perkins -
kins , "paid to Cornelius N. Bliss on ac
count of the Republican campaign fund
of last year. We had agreed to pay
him $50,000 as much as that Mr. Mc-
fJill had if he wished it That was
all he finally called for and it was paid
in that way as cash to him.
"This check for the campaign , drawn
to the order of J. P. Morgan & Co. , has
no significance whatever. The money
was ordered paid by the president and
a check was drawn that way undoubt
edly. This is the first time I have seen
it. It was the most convenient way to
!
pay the money to me , or a convenient (
way. "
NO CANAL LEGISLATION.
Bill on Isthmian Waterway
L.lkely to Pass This Session.
Canal legislation at the present ses
sion of Congress is regarded as ex
tremely improbable , even by the mem
bers of the Senate committee , which ,
for two months , has been meeting near
ly every day to investigate conditions
on the isthmus of Panama and pre
pare itself to report a bill. Several
weeks ago it was decided to postpone
temporarily the investigation of criti
cisms that had been made against the
(
management of canal affairs and to
devote the time to a discussion of the
type of canal to be constructed. The
committee is divided on this subject ,
and there is no indication that the
witnesses cnlled and the testimony
taken have tended toward harmoniz
ing the views of the members. P1
Advocates of the lock-level canal
proposed by the minority of the board
of consulting engineers apparently are
confident that this plan will be follow
ed. They have pointed out that if no
agreement is reached ny Congress the
President , in his message transmitting
tlie two reports of the board , has given
notice that the administration will pro
ceed with the construction of the lock
canal.
Engineers who have been before the
Senate committee have not agreed as
to the feasibility of constructing at
Gatun the three locks proposed by the
minority plans , and on this has hinged
largely the examination of the engin
eers. All of the advocates of the sea-
level project were outspoken against
the safety of the locks at that point
but the friends of the minority plan
have been greatly encouraged by a by
cablegram from Chief Engineer Ste
vens , declaring that there could be no
doubt concerning the success of the
Gatun locks.
In view of the fact that the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce is not inclined to accept the tl
testimony taken by the Senate commit- ail
tee. it is believed that the house will"to
to
not be ready for several weeks to take of
up canal legislation. fr

Mr. Spooncr concluded his speech on
the railroad rate bill in the Senate Fri
day and Mr. Tillmnn replied to his argu
ments. The fortifications appropriation
measure was taken up and passed. It
carries an appropriation of $125,000 for
the erection of a government powder fac
tory and provides for a total expenditure
of $ . ) ,27S,993. The House continued dis
cussion of tlie legislative bill and a great
deal of friction developed. By a strict
application of the rules Mr. Prince (111. ( )
J
and Mr. Hardwick ( Ga. ) wrought havoc
with the force of the civil service com
mission wherever increases of salary or
force were proposed , as well as other po
sitions for which the managers of the
bill could find no law. An amendment by
Mr. Gaines ( Tenn. ) providing $100,000
for a private car for the President waa
defeated on a point of order. After one-
third of the hill'had been considered the
House adjourned.

Discussion of the rate bill occupied
most of Monday in the Senate. Mr.
Overman spoke at length in support of
the measure and Mr. Teller declared
ngainst undue haste. Senator Foraker
offered an amendment prohibiting the is
suance of passes : Mr. Scott one to com

presented the report of 'the committee to
reform printing and binding. Several bills
of local importance were passed. Sev
eral resolutions intended to prevent tha
wasteful printing of public documents
were passed by the House. District of
Columbia legislation occupied most of the
day. Numerous bills of local importance
were passed.
The Senate Tuesday listened to Messrs.
rillman and McCumber. Mr. Tillman
made special inquiry concerning the
status of his resolution relative la the use
of national bank funds in politics and
touched on the insurance and beef cases.
Mr. McCmnber devoted himself to the rate
bill , finding many flaws in the measure ,
but announcing that he would vote for it
if it was properly amended. The joint
resolution regulating the allotment of doc
uments in the government printing office
and aiming to prevent unnecessary printa
Ing and binding , passed Monday by the
House , was adopted. A bill amending the
law fixing fees and expenses of witnesses
in the federal courts in the Western
States was passed. The House witnessed
a most unusual scene when Speaker CanP
non arose on the floor in the midst of a
spirited discussion on reciprocity and
ariff revision to reply to an attack by
Mr. Shackleford. The urgent deficiency

most exclusively with the legal feature
Of the problem. The conference report
on the bill regulating the final disjiosi-
tion of the affairs of the Five Civilized
Tribes of Indians was taken up , and
much objection was expressed to many of
the changes. Messrs. La Follette , Clark

of the provision authorizing the Secretary
of the Interior to lease the coal lands.
The matter was still under discussion
when the Senate , at .1:12 p. m. , went into
executive ses-sion , to adjourn a few min
utes later. In order that the legislatives
executive and judicial appropriation bill
might bo considered without being subject *
to limitless points of order , the House
passed a rule prohibiting that method of
Sghting the meas'ire , by a vote of 109 to
109. twenty Republicans voting with the
minority. This appears to have been the
first special rule ever reported from the
committee on rules directly affecting an
appropriation bill. The remainder of the
day was devoted to the consideration of
the measure , .ind more progress was made t
than in all the days heretofore given to it.

them. ] Also certain trees do not need
pruning at all.

Changing : Lots for STTine. C
Where swine are raised In sufficient II
numbers so that they are herded In n
small inclosures , it is essential to h
change these lots yearly If one would a
avoid the danger of cholera or other n
diseases. The way to accomplish this P
to ( the best advantage Is to have the b
swine distributed in small colonies , each t
with a movable house. Have the lots S
of double size , using one-half of each "
lot during the early part of the season s
and the other half at the latter part e
This will carry one through the season
with little danger of trouble , and then
these lots should be abandoned for
swine , being cultivated the next year :
and new lots provided for the swine. P
This is considerable trouble to be sure , b
but there Is no way more certain to eie
avoid disease- than this. Particularly e :

the soil is Inclined to be heavy so that r <

In Your Dairy Farm a SOCCCKS ?
Are you making all there is to be
made in the dairy business ? If not ,
why not ? This is a question which
every dissatisfied dairyman may well
ask himself. When a business man or
manufacturer finds his business is not
paying to suit him he seeks for the
causes of loss and strives to eliminate
them.
If we investigate we shall find that
the successful dairymen attend to every
little detail that affects their business.
They look at everything from a busi
ness standpoint , save wherever any
thing can be saved , and discard ani
mals or methods that don't pay.
If you are not one of the success
ful dairymen , look around and see why
you are not There is a reason for
everything , and when you know the
reason you are In a position to remedy
the trouble. If you have no liking for
your business , the sooner you change
to something you do like the better it
will be for you and those dependent upon -
on you. Have you tested your cows
individually and discarded those which
show by their own performance that
they are not profitable ? The Babcock
test and the scales will show which
are profitable and which are not , and it
is sheer shiftlessness not to apply such
a test. Indianapolis News.
Spring Poor Stock.
The man who would get all from his
live stock It Is possible for them to give
him Is the man who feeds and cares for
them intelligently. There are thou
sands of animals that will be turned
onto the range this spring , who have
been half-starved during the winter.
This is particularly true of horses , who
have had little work to do. Their own
er has worked on the plan that if there
was no work for the horse It should
have only just enough food to sustain
life ; he forgets that stored-up vitalit/
is necessary for the animal to do the
heavy spring work of the farm. The
poorly-fed horse cannot give the ser
vices he would have given had he been
properly nourished , so , after all , it is
poor economy to feed too lightly during
the winter. When this poorly-fed stock
is turned out to grass , it takes them
half the summer to get in shape again ,
and , if they be cows , the milk supply is
correspondingly light. Here again Is
where it does not pay to feed too
a
stingily. If the stock on your place
have not been well fed go at It now ;
give them grain and fodder until time
to turn them to grass , and , unless the
pasture is good from the beginning ,
feed them for some weeks. You will
need to "do this if you expect to get
proper returns soon.

Curing : Cats of Disease.
Diseased seed oats are now medi
cated while passing through elevators ,
a number of the grain elevators oC
Indiana having been equipped for tht >
purpose. The peculiar ailment to
which oats are most susceptible la
known as "smut" and unless treated *
1E
such oats produce -very inferior crops.
However , the disease can be cured
quite easily , and the medicament la
simply formaldehyde , that much-
abused germicide.
To treat the oats a veritable drop on
chute about three feet square and forty ;
to fifty feet high is prepared , on the
inside of which are placed shelves oc
deflectors sloping downward , alternat
ing on two opposite sides from top to
bottom. As the grain drops from the
top it is thrown from side to side by
the deflectors and thus thoroughly
mixed.
By means of a small steam pump the
formaldehyde is then thrown , in the
form of a fine spray , against the falling
grain near the top of the drop. By tha
time the grain reaches the bottom it is
thoroughly moistened , being allowed to
remain in this condition several hours , !
after which it is run through the drop *
second time , with a blast of cold air
replacing the stream of formaldehyde
spray , by which it is thoroughly dried.

"COFFEE JAGS. " ?
The Doctor Ifamed Them Correctly
Some one said "Coffee never hurts
any one. " Enquire of your friends an $
note their experiences.
A Philadelphia woman says :
"During the last 2 or 3 years -I be
came subject to what the doctor called
'coffee ( , jags' and felt like I have heard }
men say they feel who have drank tea
much rum. It nauseated me , and I feltj
q though there was nothing but coffea
flowing through my veins.
"Coffee agreed well enough for a
time , but for a number of years I :
have known that It was doing me great
harm , but , like the rum toper , I thought
could not get along without It It
made ' me nervous , disordered my diges
tion , destroyed my sleep and brought on
frequent and very distressing head >
aches.
"When I got what the doctor called
'coffee jag' on , I would give up drink
ing it for a few days till my stomach
regained a little strength , but I was
always fretful and worried and ner
vous till I was able to resume the use
the drug.
"About a year ago I was persuaded
try Postum , but as I got It In res-i
taurants it was nothing but a sloppyi
mess , , sometimes cold , and always weak ,
and of course I didn't like it Finally !
prepared some myself , at home , following - '
lowing the directions carefully , and
found it delicious. I persevered in its
, quitting the old coffee entirely , and ,
feeling better and better each day , till )
found at last to my great joy. that ,
ailments had all disappeared and' '
longing for coffee had come to an.j
end.
end."I
"I have heretofore suffered Intensely
.from utter exhaustion , besides the other
ailments and troubles , but this summer ,
using Postuin , I have felt fine. " Name

There's a reason.
Restaurant cooks rarely prepare Pos
tum Coffee properly. They do not let-
boll long enough.
