Too Hot for Him

One of Buffalo s would-be ''mashers"
several times met young and good
looking girl and determined to be-
come acquainted with her. He tracked
her to prayer meeting at prominent
church one evening recently. After
the service, noticing that she was
alone, he approached her, begged her
pardon for intruding, in the usual way,
and walked beside her She entered
into conversation in pleasant way,
and the "masher' began to think he
had made a conquest. At length
he asked her to 60 with him to GER
tain restaurant. She politely declined
but said that he might go to her home.
After little he said:
''Will l be liable to meet any one
there?'
"Oh, yes,' answered the girl: "you
will see my father and MOTHER
"But won't they object to my ac-
companying you?'
No, sir,' she replied. ''You have
done me no harm, and though you
have not treated me like a gentleman,
father and mother do not know any,
thing about it, and they will treat you
like one. l am sure they would be

STATE OF MINNESOTA, Executive Depart

To the people of the State of Minnesota:
; In recognition Of the value of forests to
every land and Of the special lack thereof
in portions of the State Of our pride aud
love. I again call your attention to the
Importance of intelligent forestry or tree
culture. The Government Of some of the
countries Of Europe gives official care to
the preservation of the growing trees there
in. Bounties for cultivation OF timber are
offered in this and seversl other states Of
the Union. The planting Of trees Is en-
couraged by the premiums Of various 60
cieties. A better and moro successful
means Of accomplishing effective re-
suits would be to popularize the habit Of
devoting some one designated day every
year to sowing the seeds, or setting cut
tings, OF desirable trees or shrubs, or trans
Men live for years upon prairie farms with

In the hope that many will accept desig-
nation of day for all to devote to that OBJ
ject and that the practice may become at
length general habit, in accordance with
growing custom in other States and Ter
ritories, hereby appoint and set apart
Saturday the Oath day of April ensuing, %
ARBoR DAY IN M1NNEsoTA.
The publ: Offices of the State will be
closed on that day, and earnestly advise
that all owners of farms or lots will give
that time to the improvement of their
property and beautifying of their homes, by
beginning or continuing the cultivation
thereon of forest, ornamental, or fruit
trees, or shrubs. No investment of money
will pay better; no expenditure of care will
return more permanent satisfaction.
Particularly l request the cooperation Of
directors and teachers OF the public schools,
and of the boards Of management of all our
public institutions in this work, not only
Tor thesake of improvement of the grounds
under their control, but that they may

EVENTS OF THE DAY,
Murdered by Strikers.

April 3rd freight train was sent out of
Fort Worth, Texas, on the Missouri Pacific
railroad, and,at the crossing of the Fort
Worth and New Orleans R. R., only mile
and half from the starting point, the
train stopped as was customary. The
switch was found open and two men stood
near the crossing. The officers approached
the switch and discovered five men with
Winchester rifles partly concealed in the
weeds a few yards distant. The entire
posse advanced toward the men in ambush.
They had reached the ditch alongside the
track when they ordered the throwing up
of hands. The command was obeyed, but
as the hands came up they brought Win
chester rifles. The officers were armed on
ly with revolvers. They demanded the
surrender of the strikers. Both sides op-
ened fire almost simultaneously, there be-
ing not more than two seconds between
the time the first and second shots were
fired. After the first fire the posse advanc-
ed and continued firing. The strikers re-
treated behind some piles of ties which
formed most excellent breastworks, from
which they poured murderous fire into
the posse. One officer was shot through
both thighs; another through the left
breast near the nipple, dying in a couple of
hours; the third fatally shot through the
throat and jaw. Only one of the strikers
was wounded. The sheriff organized two
companies of men and armed them with
Winchester rifles, and Gov. Ireland was ap-
piled to for troops.

General Villas On the floor of the house in
pursuance of an agreement whereby he
(Mr. Guenther) had been appointed mem

Good News for Settlers.

Commissioner Sparks has decided to
reverse his ruling, by which he had refused
to order surveys until settlements are
made Surveyor General Taylor of
Dakota visited Sparks and added
arguments to show tho i'll effects Of the
decision upon unsurveyed sections, where
settlers are desiring to obtain homes and
make their homestead entries aud the
out surveys. The result was that the
commissioner decided to reverse his
rulings, and permit the surveys to 90 for
ward whenever there is information from
reliable sources that there is sufficient
demand by actual settlers to warrant the
survey. He authorized Surveyor General
Taylor to make survey Of some thirty
two townships in Western Dakota, which
he had applied for the right to make some
months ago, but had been refused under
former rulings.

Broom Corn Prof table.

From some accidental reason, broom
corn has advanced considerably in
price and continues steady at the ad-
vance. At the present value of ten
cents per pound, in Chicago, for green
hurl, with possible yield of twelve
hundred pounds per acre, the crop
pays we'll for good cultivation and
care. But it is not advisable that any
farmer, induced by the present mild
boom in this product, should attempt
to 20 into its culture on = large scale.
1t is quite probable that the next crop
viii be in excess Of the demand for it,
just as is the case with hops and other
special products for which the demand
is limited, and which ductuate greatly
in value and at times enormously. The
general rule with this class of products
Is, that when everybody has some to
sell, the price Il low, and when the
price il high, there il none to sell. II
any farmer wishes 10 grow broom-eorn.

ton with a corporation indicates that
it is organized under special law in

holders in the corporation to the
amount that each individual member

The law requires that the word ''lim-

Farmers, have q Garden.

Farmers, have . Garden.
Many farmers neglect their gardens,
and say, in excuse, that they are ''more
bother than they are worth" This is
not true of garden properly cared
for. A good one-and poor ones are
are not worth the name of gardens
will produce enough to keep an ordi-
nary family in vegetables the greater
part of the year. Nowhere else does =
farmer realize as much for the amount
of labor expended. Farmers, as =
general thing, consider it ''puttering"
work to get the beds ready for seed;
and keeping them clean is mora OF
task for them than going through the
the corn-field with the cultivator; and
because the work is neglected, and
therefore little is raised, they vote the
garden failure. To understand just
what the capabilities of garden are.
they must give it the same attention
that they give to the farm, that is-tho
attention it needs to develop thorough
ly whatever vegetables they attempt to
grow in it. If the garden is given this
attention, they will be surprised to sec
what an amount it will furnish toward
supplying the family food for the year.
and one years trial will convince them
that they have neglected the ( lest part
of their farm.
Every farmers wife appreciates the
value of good supply of vegetables
for the winter, for it enables her to 30
vary the bill of fare that there need be no
daily repetition of food. Not only are
the pleasures of the table increased by
the variety offered, but the health Of
the family is improved. The farmers
food. as general thing, is too much
alike, day after day, to be as pleasant
or as healthful a. it ought to be. Veg-
etables, especially during the winter
season, are often greater luxuries to
the farmer than they are to the dwellers
in towns. This ought not to be so,
and in neglecting their gardens farmers
neglect the part of their farm that
pays them best. The work in the gar
den need not be ''puttering" II it Is
done systematically. Do not make lit
tle, old fashioned beds which cannot be
kept clean by the use of cultivator, but
plant in rows among which it will be easy
to work with the cultivator or the hoe.
By doing this there will be but little
hand-weeding necessary. A few hours
work, each week, will keep the crops
clean, and the ground mellow. A far
mer cannot afford to deny himself and
his family the luxuries Of a garden.

pills were compelled to rush up stairs to
save their lives. A rescue party was Or
ganized, and they were taken from the
windows and conveyed to dry land. The

ing SO rapidly that all they could do was
to save themselves. Huntingdon, Bryson
