But the local newspaper is always favoring the pub- lie. And how quick the local paper hears of it, if by accident an error ap- pears, but if the public or its officials make a blunder they must not go in the local newspaper, because the local newspaper would lose its head. No- body but local newspaper editors make blunders; the rest of the populace do- eth all things well. A greal many people who know how to edit a news- paper are somehow in positions on the top of dry goods boxes. ————— A ————n Transfers of Real Estate.

A western college professor claims that he has discovered a method of fat- tening pigs by electricity, says an ex- change. The process, as near as can be ascertained, consists of placing the an- imals to be treated in a cage, around _ which are strung 8a number of wires charged with electricity. It is hoped the professor will carry his investiga. * tion farther, as many attenuated peo- ple are interested in his theory.

The day was spent in taking in the sights on the Park, until the afternoon when public exercises were held in the auditorium. The meeting was called to order at two o'clock with General James A, Beaver, as president of the association, presiding. The address of welcome was delivered by Col. James F.

Musser, secretary of the association published a letter over his signature in that official capacity, attacking motives of Governor Hastings in offer- ing to contribute to the Curtin monu- ment fund one dollar for every raised by the assogiation. The resolu- tion condemned the secretary in no unmistakable terms for his efforts to draw the association into the Republi- can family quarrel. A wrangle follow- ed, which was participated in by the Quayites and antis, and a lively dis- cussion followed. Peace finally pre- valled when the resolution was cut out, but it was the main topic of discussion among the members even after the meeting adjourned.
