THE plan of the proposed Houston
new NJ. E. Church which was shown
to the residents of that locality not
long since, was very neat and attrac-
tive one, and consequently subscrip-
tiOns to the construction fund came in
quite literally. Now that the erection
of the building has commenced, it is
evident that the original plans. have
been deviated from, and that instead
of an edifice that will be an ornament
to Houston, they will simply have an
old style. gospel box, as an irreverent
one has styled, built not in the Queen
Ann or any other Queens fashion, but
after school of architecture that we
m " imagine was in vogue about the
time of the deluge.

THE Market Journal, from which we
are frequently pleased to quote items
of interest about New York Market,
evidently sent a "city chap" to ''dO
up" the peach orchards of New Jersey.
The reporter tells about the "hearty
dinner" he ate, we presume at the
home of the fruit grower, and about
the size of the orchard and appearance
of the fruit; all this in manner that
shows that he has seen some things
in this world. But, in the following
paragraph he shows that lie knows
nothing about growing peaches. We
challenge its like to be found outside
of the funny DaDers.U y

HOW ORCHARDa ARE

HWW
The planting of a peach orchard is a matter Of
considerable speculation.
The trees when planted are about yard in
height, a simple limb, no thicker than the finger
a short distance from the top slit is made and
the bark peeled.
A healthy pit is then taken, inserted in the slit
and piece Of flannel tied about it. In a few days
the incubation is perfect the top Of the tree is cut
of to where the pit was inserted and then left
develop. An orchard thus planted if healthy, COM
mences bearing in about three years and will bear
from four to six crops.
The pits are furnished by the canning factories
but It is no easy matter to get healthy ones They
are then placed in the ground and frozen; this
cracks the pit and it is easily gotten at.

drive this wear will be much larger than
tho drive of last year. The number OF
young cattle that will be driven to this
market will he much more than last year.
The bulk of the cattle will be marketed
at Dodge City.
The annual cattle drive from Texas ap-
pears to augment rather than diminish IN
aumbcr and class of cattle driven north.
Texas IS greatly increasing her productive
capacity as evidenced bv the number OF
Young cattle driven north. So long as this
condition exists, and DO opening Is made
for cattle in Mexico. SO long will the Pan>
handle, Kansas and the northern terrific
ries have the benefit of the products OF
Texas. The meeting of Texas stockmen,
yearly. with their herds ON the range south
of DODGE City has been the occasion Tor q
business boom IN Dodge. But cattle have
found q rcadier market within the past
two years and the benefit to the city as q
cattle market is not as great as formerly.
Dodge City will continue to be market
for Texas stock so long as there is demand
for such stock and SO long as there is an
unobstructed trail for the driving of the
cattle. The following is partial list Of

The second trial of John S. McCarty.
the confidence man. took place in the Dis
trict Court on Friday last. The jury were
out but short time and brought in a
verdict of guilty. McCartv was charged
with robbiDg ger at monte game
on the train near Speareville. The at>
witness put on the stand by the defense
was feature of the trial generally com>
mented upon. The machine" witness
worked" up too strong case for the de-
fense. A motion for new trial was made
by the defendants.
The Judge overruled the motion for
new trial, and on Monday evening was
the time set for the passing of the SEM
tence. The accused had been admitted
to bail iu the sum of g. ,OO0. and when
his appearance was demanded he was
non est. County Attorney Whitelaw on
Monday, moved that the prisoner be taken
charge of by an officer, but the court said
that the accused was on bail and his
custody vas not necessary. "or words TO
that effect" The bonds of McCarty are
also missing. 1t is said that the bond
never passed into the hands of the District
Clerk so he informs Us. A party started
in pursuit of McCarty, supposing that he
had gone south in the stage. but they re-
turned without the fugitive, he having
taken another course.
Judge Strang, in the course of some re-
marks to McCarty. commenting upon the
latter's course. said that the rolling stone
gathers no moss. In his "argumen," for
his defense, McCarty retorled upon the
Judges suggestion bv citing q circum-

taken in court on Tuesday morning.
1t IS believed that McCarty will put in

men. His sentence could not be made be-
fore the April term of court.
The proceedings in this case have pro-
voked q good deal of favorable aud un-
favorable comment. and the actions of
certain parties is severely criticised. The
true inwarduess of the case will be de-
vel0ped in time no doubt.
Ford county has been at considerable

McCarty. and the efforts of justice to be
frittered away IN this manner is o shame

be placed where it belongs.
