FRUrT GARDEN. Discussion Is still
progressing. rs to whether it is right
or not to prune fruit trees mt trans
planting. Our advice is 10 do SO,
more or les in All cases.
Wherever grating is to be done,
MANY proceed at once when they
think frost is over. Our experience
is that the hest time is Just as the lc;'t
| bud IS bursting The gratis must be
cut long before, and buried in the
earth to keep them from shrivehng.
When the cions are thus preserved
grating may be done to near MID
summer. Very strong and longgrait'
may be used on all trees, ii not done
too early. Marshall p Wilder gets
strong trees very soon by this plan.
| If too carly done these long shoots
would dry up. These remarks mc
for amateurs who have but n few trees
to do and il Is now almost necessity

,pcU 90 over to the Bluffs. I with
draw from the contest.
G. F. T.
Omaha has outlived many calami-
ties, and now the question is, can
she survive if George Francis Train
carres out his threat. The with.
drawal of the pauper millionaire
might be endured, especially since
Durant is no longer cock of the
walk. But if Train should transfer
both ends of the bridge over to
Council Bluffs, where, oh where,
would the terminus be?
The BEE is anxious to avert u
a catastrophe if it can be done
without converting the Legislature
of Nebraska in special session to re-
lieve the Sheriff from his legal re-
sponsibility. Let us therefore re-
turn from the ridiculous to the sub
lime portion of this important case.
The BEE has permitted Mr.. Train
to present his grievances, and now
let us see if they are well founded.
Train bought his Omaha land
eight years ago for 500 per acre.
He paid a mere fraction of the pur-
chase money, and since then he has
failed to pay either principal, inter
est or taxes. And now when the
Sheriff has levied upon a small por'
ton of his lands, to satisfy impera'
tive claims, the great American
bubble blower wonders whether
Omaha is really a fraud.
We should say she was if sh'
would permit every blatherskit'
speculator to go untaxed. Cal
Omaha afford to cry sinking Fish
Certainly. She can afford it bette
than be blackmailed. We knew
that Train had cheek enough for
government mule, but we did no
suppose he could muster cheeI
enough to invite the business me-
, of Omaha to collect contribution
to pay his debts. The people G

Life on Pixies Peak.
Denver World, June ID.

J.. A. Lennon, signal officer sta
toned at the highest signal station
in the country, the one on Pixies
Peak, came down from his altitude
nous post of duty on the Odd of last
month, after an uninterrupted resi-
dence there of eight months. He
says that while the summit of Pixies
Peak is doubtless a fine and attract
i've place for tourists to visit, it is
not exactly the sort of place that a
delicately reared, cOmfort-iovipg
person would choose for q winter
residence.
The circulation of air, il not too
free for health, was occasionally too
vigorous for comfort and serenity.
The greatest velocity attained by
the wind during the winter was
eighty-five miles an hour. This was
too much for even the strongly
built station house, and took off the
roof put on in a manner to with.
stand just such gales. This was all
the more interesting from the fact
that the condition of the weather
rendered it impossible to make re-
pairs for several days. And a roof
less house on the top of Pixies Peak,
one would naturally suppose, must
be an interesting sort of an institu-
ton to live in of a windy winters
night.
The report that has been publish
nd fhnf tho crrra,y 90 D.l NJ
is now free from snow is, MIR. Lem
mon says, not strictly, or perhaps
more properly, not invariably true.
During the day that the wind blows
from one direction, the mountain
summit will be cleared of snow and
remain SO until the next day when
the wind will veer around to the
opposite point of the compass and
blow snow back in sufficient GUAM
tity to cover the summit to the
depth of several feet. And the suc-
ceeding day it will come around
again and blow it off NEE more,
and so on. This interesting little
pastime the wind has kept up
with commendable regularity for
some time.
Occasionally during the winter
when the trail would become
blockaded with snow, the men ON
the top of the Peak would get short
Of supplies. For some time lust
previous to Mr.. Lemmon's descent
from his high post of duty, their
only article of diet had been beans.
Now, beans we'll baked, NAV do
very well for Sunday dinners i'm
Boston, but as a steady and sole
article of diet on the summit of
Pixies Peak they are not a success.
In that high altitude, with its rare
air, where water needs to be only
lukewarm to boil, the preliminary
par boiling requisite to a good bake
on beans is a work of time. A
weeks boiling will soften the beans
a little. But a week is a long while
to wait for ones dinner. To
keep the steam in the pot by
means of a tight fitting I'D, will
hasten the boiling process, but in
that cas- there is great danger of an
explosion. Such an episode might
be acceptable IS varying the mo-
notony Of life on the summit, but it
would result inruining the last hope
Of a dinner.

OMAHA AND TRAIN.

Ten years ago an cratic and
eccentric Yankee Spectator, who
had achieved considerable notoriety
in travelling around the world, Ian
ied at Omaha. He came without
an invitation, and he professed that
his coming was purely accidental.
He happened as it were TO comeim-
mediately after President Lincoln
had proclaimed Omaha the initial
point of the great trans-conti-
mental railroad. His name
was George Francis Train,
and he signalized his pres
ence i'm our midst by a spread
eagle, Chinese wall, Pyramid of
Gizeh, Grafton at the breaking of
grounds on the sandy banks of the
Missouri near what is known as the
Telegraph poles. From that day to
this a sort of indefinite, unlimited
partnership seems to have existed
between Omaha and this self-con-
ceited man of destiny, And now
George Francis makes application
for q dissolution in the following
characteristic bill of complaints:
