THE MESSAGE THURSDAY. FEH. 1, WANTS VEST'S PLACE. The St. Joseph Man's Way of Settling Contempt Cases.

Washington, Jan. Spencer of St. Joseph, counsel for the Chicago, Burling-ton Quincy railroad, will he a candidate, for tin Senate to otic-reed Mr. Vest. Judge Spencer 1ms been in Washington for the past ten days, and the news of his intentions hi leaked out much Ins arrival.

St. Joseph, Jan The announcenieut ol the candidacy of Judge Spencer for the Senate recalls a story about him when he was circuit Judge. Stephen S. Drown, a hwyer practicing at the bar, had male soma remarks which Jnclge Stephens considered insulting, during the trkl of a case. Judge Spencer never lined a lawyer for contempt, (luring tho whole time ho was on the bench.

He had ft method of his own for dealing with such cases. After the trial ho called Brown up in front ot the bar. "Steve," he siid, made a remark a while ago in which 1 think you intended to insult ine. Whs that your intention?" "Your honor said Brown, but Spencer stopped him. "You neetln address ine as your he said.

"This is not a case of that kind. Bight now I am just Spencer, and if you intended to insult me, just walk in the next room and I'll light it out in less than two ininuteH." Brown said ho intended no in sult, and the mutter was dropped "I'M "Call Off the Dog," Says Bigamist Roberts lie's Going Back Home. Washington, 1. At 4 otclock this afternoon Congressman-elect lirighaiii II. Rob erts, of Utah, said: "I expect to lose til light.

The Lurcey amendment, I think, will be adopted. 1 will rei urn to my home. I have looked into the mat ter and find that even if exclud ed I tiinnot take the cise into the United States supivme court. might sue for my salary, mileage, but if there is any w.iv of making the United States a pros ent the money 1 shall be glad to pursue that way." A later dispatch Irom Washing ton says: The case of Brigham II. Roberts, the Mormon Kepresen tative-elect from Utah, which has occupied so much ol the attention of the House since the assembling of Congress, was decided to-day by the adoption of a resolution to exclude him by a vote of 25S to Eggs for All Ills.

For countless ages the long suf fering hen has been an over worked creature. Her hmnhlo occupation of laying eggs has been her little glory, and yet she has never com plained. She is cheerfully performed her duties, and when old age has incapacitated hr for further usefulness as au vgx proiuoer she has accepted with fortitude her fate as tho central figure in the homely potpie or tho enigmatical boarding house stew. But it is as a patient layer of eggs that her life work is best known. Now, however, fame promises to perch on her brow, and her faithfulness of duty is about to be rewarded.

A French chemist has discoyered that hens can not only digest iron easily, but that it is transmitted to the albumen in their In his experiments ho has given salt of iron to hens with their regular diet of cracked wheat, aud Las found that they produce eggs highly impregnated with a liealtli pro in pru pen which is in turn readily digested by the human stomach. The ronehimiii is said to be ex pen nietitiu in a similar maimer wi'h other drug- notably pep-in mid mar janese. Here are unt.ild possihil.tie for the hen. She may event a iy drive the niuiinfii 'tinv ol p. Us and powders oat of business entirely.

If we have dy pep-ia the lieu will ay nn egg for us th it will cans us to fee! at pca-e with all the world. If oar liver is torpid then will bo an egg tor that. For a bad cold take an vg impregnated with quinine. In lact ine usual query: 'How will j-oii have ymireggs this iiioraiugF." will asuine quite a new importance. The time may not be far distant when, instead of having a family physician, all that will be necessary will be to keep a hen.

The kIzo of the window much tu do with the comfort or discomfort of the fowls in winter. Sad to relate, most of tho poultry owned by farmers have but small windows, though we believe that the Idea having largo windows Is Tin; poultry house that has to a -ommoda! nay fifty hens and lias a Kiimie window two feet siuare la an abomination, and it is no wonder that in HocUs bo kept diseases are fiviucnl and destructive. If but one v.imtuw can be pat in a poultry house, it should certainly be a large one, bat Ii is bitter to have a number of windows. t'ainllliiK Fkh- The aforetime egg-buyer, sitting In the cellar of Uls utore with a liKhtca candle, before which lie holds up an egg at a time to Judge of ltd soundness, has been superseded, writes a Sudalid correspondent of a St. Louis paper.

Ho would never come to the ud of tliu dozens which tho Missouri farmers' wives now bring to town In twelve months. The aveiage price paid to producers for egg.s is about Id cents a dozen. That was tho rate in what ure known as tho months of greatest egg production April and to the loth of May. After that thcio was a brief period when prices ran as low as i cents. It was the lime of 'ho highest percentage of had eggs.

In June aud July the life of an egg handler Is not a happy one. It is the season of nest hiding, liens will be secretive. June and July are inontbd in which the egg-Iuiyer would, if lc could, gladly take a vacation ami go to Alaska, where the only tgg known Is the oiiu frozen solid, lu A igust the harvest of bad eggs is over. The quality is again restored to normal, l'rices arc now 11 and 1- cents a ilozen to farmers' wives. Aside from this depreciation, prices of eg, K.iV en varied 2 cents a dozen the past, season, which speaks exceedingly well for new methods.

The surplua of of iast April went into cold storage to await tho demand next wlnt. r. "Candling" is still the name of tie-process of testing eggs, although tli? candle has gone out of date. In the darkroom of tho poultry and egg house hangs an electric light. It is in a with two bright eyes.

Tho egg-testers Bit on either side of the electric light. They raiso two eggs at a tune from the cases lu which ihey conic from the buyers, and hold them for a moment between the electric eyes and the human vision. The decision is instant. The movement which follows is bo rapid that it Is hard to follow. Exam ining two eggs at a time, the tester must conclude at once in which of live directions each egg shall go.

There aro three grades of merchantable eggs. Hut there are also two tubs to receive eggs of a fourth and llftli classilleation. If an egg is sound and whole it may bo a "Western extra," a "small ami dirty" or a "second." Hut there may be a crack in the shell. The wear of transportation moans the cracking of a great many eggs. 1 he moment the tester detects a crack his hand goes toward one of the tubs.

With a defi turn of the wrist he computes tae fracture, empties the contents of the shell Into the tub, and tosses the shell to the second tub. Then there are the bad eggs. They go into the other tub as quick as tho tester can drop them. The economies of the business have not yet developed use for a spoiled egg. Shells of tho cracked eggs and bad eggs are hauled away and thrown on the ground.

They have some fe-rtiliz-Ing value, but not enough to pay for the cartage. The egghouse pays for the removal and disposition of the bad eggs. "Extras" hardly need explanation. They are the largo, clean and Round eggs. When it stated that they are worth cents a dozen, their sttpi nor character Is indicated.

The "smal. and dirty" speaks for itself. Hut there is this to bo said, tho "small and dirty" must bo perfectly sound. The and the dirt on the shell make it worth only 9 cents to 11 cents a dozen. Then come the "seconds," which betray signs of age.

Tho "seconds" is an article commerce at from 7 to cents a dozer It Is tho egg that is only Utile and passes very well where tastes a not too critical. Tho extras go Imo new cases with perfect packing. them tho dealer finds his prolit. in the Sedalla egghouse there Is a man who has been "candling" twelve years. He confesses frankly that lie is all the time learning something new about eggs as ho turns the electric ray on them, and ho admits that he lias gathered some additional experience ir.
