An exchange says a farmer was arrested and fined the other morning for selling some adulterated milk, adulterated with a little harmless water. He wore at the time a suit of all -wool (?) clothes, badly adulterated with shoddy, and bools whose soles were adultei’ated with paper or wood shavings. For breakfast he drank adulterated coffee, his meat was spiced with adulterated pepper, his cakes puffed up with adulterated baking powder, his pickles soared with adulterated vinegai’, his pie was seasoned w’ith adulterated spice, his wife w T as out of sorts because she could not make good bread out of adulterated flour that had been run in on her for the “best,” in fact lie saw and felt the effect of adulteration whichever way he looked, and he had not heard of any of the adulterators being arrested or fined.

The total number of employes in the service of railways on June 30, 1893. was 873,602, being an increase of 52,187. Of this total of employes, 35,384 are assigned to the work of general administration, 256,212 to maintenance of way and structures, 175,464 to maintenance of equipment, and 397,915 to conducting transportation, the remainder, 8,627, being unclassified by the carriers making report. If the employes be assigned to mileage, it appears that 515 men found employment in the railway industry in the United States per 100 miles of line, 21 being assigned to general administration, 151 to maintenance of way and structures, 103 to maintenance of equipment, and 234 to conducting transportation.—Lafayette Times.

There is no printed thing which is so close to the hea~t of the community as the local paper. The pulse of local life beats in every issue.

If a merchant will take cm. . < f his space, keep ii fresh and pi t interesting matter in it, it will be read as assiduously ; nd regularly as the spiciest bit of gosste. As it gets readers. s > will the dealer get customer a.—ljXCiiiiili, fc. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Cloud, of Kansas City, are visiting G. A. Martindale and family.
