Central Pacific Connection East.
Chicago, Oct. 1.-THE Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe railroad is reaching
out to form connection with the
Central Pacific road by way of the
Utah Southern at some point i'll Central
Utah. Surveying parties are now in
the field running lines from Pueblo and
Canon City, Colorado, westward through
Colorado. 1t is the intention of this
company TO run another line southeast
to tap the Southern Pacific on its way
eastward from Fort Yuma. These two
extensions will afford the Atchison,
Topeka s. Santa Fe line means of
sharp competition with the Tom Scott
and Jay Gould lines north and south.
The road in question has offered the
management of the construction of the
extensions to w. b. Strong, at present
general superintendent Of the Chicago,
Burlington &c Quincy railway, and he
has determined to accept. The date of
his severing his connection with the
road with which he is now and has
been so long identified, is not yet made
public. but it will be soon.

REPENTING REDSKINS.
Surrender Of One Hundred and Eighty Sove
Redskins 10 General Hatch.

The success of General Miles in cap
turing Joseph and his band of red des-
peradoes in the North is not the only
Indian affair that has been brought to
termination within the recent past.
The last number of the Santa Fe New
Mexican brings information of the sur
render of large number of the South
ern hostiles to General Hatch. These
Indians have been committing number
less depredations in the southern
portion of New Mexico and western
portion of Arizona for the past three
months, and have killed and robbed a
large number Of white men. They have
been vigilantly pursued by General
Hatch, in command of that military
district, who compelled the Apache
chiefs, Loco and Victoria, with a great
er part of their band Numbering 1877
to leave the mountains and go north to
the vicinity of Fort Wingate, where,
worn out, footsore, hungry, without
animals and being closely pursued, they
surrendered to the commanding officer,
Captain Jewett, of the Fifteenth Infan-
try, on the 7th inst, as prisoners of
war. Two companies of cavalry have
been sent to that post to guard and con-
duct the prisoners to Ojo Caliente,
where they will be held subject to fur
ther orders. In the meantime, the
cavalry expedition under command of
Major Wade, Ninth Cavalry, are thor
oughly scouting the Mongollon noun
tains for any scattering parties that
may attempt to hide; two other COM
panies, d and E, Ninth Cavalry, are
now scouting the Mimbres mountains,
and we shall soon no doubt hear of
further success.
Had the Indians known the scarcity
OF troops-about twenty-at Fort VIM
gate, they could easily have captured
1t; fort that has cost the Government
OF the United States over million of
dollars. The reduced infantry and
cavalry regiments are entirely made
quate to do garrison duty and active
service in the field. The recommen-
aation of the Secretary of War filling up
The regiments to the maximum, will in
crease the two regiments in New Mexi-
20, under General Hatch's command,
ABOUT twelve hundred men. The ad.
oition will be great help in increasing
'ne security of the people against Indl.

Fresh Forgeries.

Springfield, Oct. 17.-Forged drafts
amounting with interest to $4,000,
purporting to have been drawn on the
old commissioners fund in March, 1910,
have been discovered. They were pre-
sented for payment by Fred White. of
New York, last winter, since when a
careful investigation has been made,
which has shown them to be forgery.
Henry Fellows, Of California, whose
name is on the back of the drafts as
commissioner, is the man who has de-
tected and announced the forgery.

Wintering Tender Plants.

Upon this subject the Rural Neso
Yorker says: In good cellar we can
keep our century plants, oleanders and
cactuses from November till May; and
there too, our cannas, caladiums (the
green-leaved section), dahlias, Grape
myrtles and fuchsias. Should frost be
likely to penetrate, we can cover up with
dry hay or straw, just as we would in
the case of potatoes or apples. Straw

what tender evergreens, if established in
pots, can too, be safely wintered in a

them, or even plunging the pots over the

Lime and Salt.

Prof. johnson recommends for fertiliz-
ing purposes to mix one bushel of salt
and two of dry lime under cover; allow
mixture to decompose gradually, thus
forming chemical union. For this pur-
pose the mixture should be made six
weeks before use, or still better two or
three months, the heap being turned
over occasionally. This salt and lime
mixture, when applied at the rate of
twenty or thirty bushels per acre, forms
an excellent top-dressing for many crops.
1t acts powerfully on the vegetable
matter of soils; fifty-six bushels applied
to turnips have produced as large crop
as barnyard manure. 1t is destructive
to grubs and insects in the soil. Like
salt it attracts moisture from the air and
is useful against drouth. Its decompos-
ing power is remarkable, and if three or
four bushels of it are mixed with load
of muck the latter will be thus thor
oughly powdered.

The Beginning.

"Give me half-penny and you may
pitch one of these rings, and if it catches
over nail I'll give you threepence."
That seemed fair enough; so the boy
handed him half-penny and took the
ring. He stepped back to the stake,
tossed his ring, and it caught on one of
the nails.
"Will you take six rings to pitch
again or threepence?"
"Thrcepence," was the answer, and
the money was put into his hand. He
stepped off well satisfied with what he
had done, and probably not having an
idea that he had done wrong. A gen
tleman standing near him had watched
him, and now, before he had time to
look about and rejoin his companions,
laid his hand on his shoulder.
"My lad, this is your first lesson in
gambling"
Gambling, sir?' F...
"You staked your half-penny and
won six half-pence, did you not?"
Eyes, did,"
-" You did not earn them, and they were
not given you. You won them just as
gamblers win money. You have taken
the first step in the path. That man
has gone through it, and you can see the
end. Now, l advise you to go and give
HIM his threepence back and ask him
for your half-penny, and then stand
square with the world, an honest boy
again"
He hung his head down, but raised it
quickly; and his bright, open look as he
said, "Ill do it," will not soon be for
gotten. He ran back and soon emerged
from the ring, looking happier than ever.
He touched his cap and bowed pleas
antly as he ran away to join his comp an
ions. This was an honest boy.-MOrn-
