some other reason for the name. Here
It Is: When the tree is first cut, tho
fresh wood exha les very strong, rose
like fragrance. which soon passes away,
leaving no trace OF the peculiar odor.
There arc several varieties OF rosewood

cluuse of his uncles', Ex-Governor Samuel j.
Tildens', will, which provided for libraries
in New York, New Lebanon and YOnkers,
was brought to trial to-day before Judge

titled that the personal property left by the
ex-governor was valued at 81, 1906 GOO and the
real estate at $500, 600. MI. Ledyard admit
ted that this was the state, saying it was
"a, 400, 600 for the special trust legacy over

livery of property under 1t, no objection
was made. This closed the testimony and
the arguments were postponed till March 81.

FrrvoTrOly CRY. KAN. March 6.-Ab a full
meeting of the Junction City board Ot trade
held this evening the following expression
was made concerning the artillery ana Llll-

AS the military authorities, during years
Of neglect and the practical abandonment
Of Fort Riley, persistsntly refused 70 re-
ducs the military reservation or open any
part of any post for settlenenrs thus re-
tarding the growth Of this seCt1On1 ana nave

and upon their completion IN a lew months

which Will make a horse stock ana gram

causes considerable excitement, as well as
derision on the part Of LeOh

dignent does not express it. The farmers
protective alliance, which elected these Off
GERS under a pledge that no revival of cOun-
ty seat troubles should occur, held an
INDIGNATION meeting to-day at the court
house and denounced the action. Much In
dignatiOn is expressed from every part OF
