Harvest of Croakers at Miss Stege’s Frog Ranch
The San Francisco Examiner features Contra Costa County frogs nesting in Miss Edith Stege’s 15 acre frog ranch north of Berkeley. Bulls grow to eight dollars a dozen, with ponds 200 feet long and a warm romance of amphibians amid oleanders and willows. Frogs pay for the mortgage, yet overstocking and cannibalism hinders profits. The froggery blends farming, science, and spectacle as stege nurtures the croakers from hatching to dinner. The piece also notes a ship of bullfrogs to Hawaii and the odd notion of Dutch nightingales amid Hilo landscapes.

Liberty and Law in Utah Polygamy Debate and Smoot Case
The article argues for strong federal action against polygamy in Utah, detailing congressional acts from 1863 to 1887, the 1890 Mormon manifesto, and the 1891 amnesty petition. It critiques the hierarchy's influence, notes failures to enforce laws, and suggests two constitutional amendments to eradicate polygamy and require officers to pledge loyalty to the US and state. It links Smoot Case revelations to church control over Utah politics and calls for a national solution while preserving state sovereignty.
