$1 50. Senator t-lact lal. United States Senator Orville II. Piatt, of Connecticut, is dead at his lummer home in Washington, his native town, from pneumonia. Tbe end came alruo-t unexpectedly, the immediate cause beiug the breaking of an aboe-a which had formed on the right lung and which pro duced strangulation.

On Friday. March 31, the senator was taken with the illness which proved fatal Orville Hitchcock Piatt was born at I Wishington, Connecticut, July 19, received anacalenaic education, studied law and wrs admitted to ths bar in 1319. He fir came into political notice as I clerk of the state house of representa I tivea in 1955-6. Ho wai elected secretary of state in 1S57, and served as a member of tbe state senate in 1861 2. From 1364 to 1869 he waa a member of tbe Connec- ticut house of representatives, beins speaker of the bouse during the latter year.

He was elected to the United States senate ss a republican in 1879 and was reelected in 1903. 1885. 1891, 1897 and Joseph Jcffeisoo Dead. Joseph, JefiVrson the eminent actor, died at bis home, "The at Palm Beach; Monday. The end came after a day of unconciousness and after heroic struggle of daya which had ex- hausted bis vitality.

At bis deathbed were his wife, bis sons, unar'es li. and tranx jenerson, his nurse, Miss Mabel Bingham, Dr. R. B. Potter, and his faithful old servant.

Carl Kettle r. The end was not a surprise to his family. Ever since bis last sinking spell. which came after a rally on Thursday morning and was followed by an appar-1 ent improvement until Friday, the fam-1 ily had been waiting for tbe end. I The illness of Mr.

Jefferson, which I ended in bis death, was contracted, it is I believed, while on a visit to bU eon, Charles B. Jefferson, at Hope Sound, a I few miles above Palm Beach, where he I went to meet bis friend, former Presi-I dent Cleveland. It is believed that from slight indiscretion In bis eating he suf- fered an attack of indigestion. Since his return to his home his condition grew worse, with slight rallies, until the end. The body of Mr.

Jefferson will betaken to Buzzard's Bay, accompanied by his family. all A Poor Law. To the Editor of The Journal: We hope there are not to be found twenty-five men idiots enough to peti- tion the county commissioners to appoint a beef and bide inspector. It is on al par with the horse inspection iaw, which I does no one any good but the sheriff and the publishers of official papers. I might read that John Doe shipped a 4F horse from Hermosa three weeks ago, but by tl time I bear of it the horse is on his way to Japan.

What am I goiog to do about it? This beef and hide law is many times worse than the horse inspec tion law. Last winter I killed a beef and sold one quarter to my neighbor. Now be fore I sold that quarter in order to com ply with the law I would have had to go to Custer and notify the sheriff that on the morrow I would kill a beef, and for a him to come and inspect it, ortnging along his indelicle ink pot to stamp the quarter in four places. I suppose it will then pass as embalmed beef. In complying with the law I make a trip eighty miles, the sheriff makes another eighty mile trip, ana gets a lee Ot twenty-five cents which I have to pay.

My neighbor objects to tbe ink spots, says ink ia bad for the stomacb so we cut ont the stamps and bang them I over a tramway, which crosses a deep ravine and American creek. The boat lies on ways on a bank about twenty feet above the river. The piledrivers have driven the piling for the trestle from tbe island opposite the city down over a sandbar of 200 feet, and this even tog nave reached the edge or the main channel. The work in being done from the inland eastward. Some difficulty has been encountered in striking a river bottom at the dseired potot where the chalk rock in the river bed not covered with too heavy layer of gravel, as the gravel is not considered to be safe from the action the wib r.

The piling will be set firmly in chalk rock, and where neces-tary the 'orty. foot piling mill be spliced There has yet been no material arriving for the railroad construction wet of the river. but is will arrive shortly and be Iran. ferred to the nt bank of the river by the fl-et ts i ti Chi.uiberlain Pontoon Bridge ri-mptny, operating in the river hers. There are four of these boat two of tfood size and capable of handling objects of considerable un- nse.

There are probably 800 men at woik present on tho wr.tious features of the work of extension here. CVi(imriii STieWa, Look out for It.

Ilerf ami Hide Innprctur. It i ot t'n ralH lii 'ip thut the late state I'l inil enactment providing for theapi oioiioi ui by county mndr.fiioiier.i of beef and bide inspect ors, hut such, however, is a fact, says the Custer Chronic'e. The law provides that when twenty-five persons engaged stockraising shall lition the com missioners to appoint an inspector hall be the duty of the board to comply with their demand by authorizing the heriff to act in such capacity. The sheriff in turn has the privilege cf ap pointing such number of deputies as may neoeosary to acoomuiod those engaged in butchering or selling beef throughout the county. The inspector.

bis deputy, is quired to inspect every beef slaughtered which is in tended to offered for sale either ithin or without the county, and Jie shall stamp with mdellible ink each quarter of such dressed beef at least in four places, and ah .11 aldo stamp the hide. He ehall make due report to the county auditor of all bet enroassea so inspected and sUmped and also desig- nte brand carried upon the hide of 'Uch slaughtered animal It ehall also his duty to give approximately the live weight of such animal, its color. and ben and where and by whom inspected. The act pays that as soon as an in spector is appointed It shall be unlawful ror anT person or firm within said county BOlI Her for sale any slaughtered beef or the hide therefrom until the same has been inspected and marked, and for violation of the law a penalty of a fine net less than ten nor more than one hundred dollars i- provided. The in- spector is allowed a fee of twenty-five cent for each beef and hide inspected, which sum is to be paid by the owner of the animal slaughtered.

The law passed with an emergency clause that made it operative at once You Tell. A Missouri Paoifio tiket agent in Ar- kanaaa tells the following: A man pie- sen ted himself at the ticket window and asked the fare to A kins, Ark. I told him it was $3. He said he only had a $2 bill but could easily raise the other dol- Ur. When he returned with the three dollars, he said "I went to the pawn broker and pawned the $2 bill for $1.60 Then I sold the pawn ticket for $1.50.

While you are making out tbe ticket kindly tell me who is out the dollar line agent atterwara said he had wrrs tied with the forty-seventh problem of Euclid, dragged through quadratics in algebra, worked on "How old la Ann but the question was too much for hirn.
