FlOcking to see the Deceased.

A city undertaken vouches for the truth of the following: ''I had tune- ral at one of the high toned colored churches on the south side not long ago. The audience room of the church was crowded.

This is quite common, however, with i'm I will repeat to you just what ho said: 'Brudders and sisters, do church am crowded to-day as I habent seen it fo' many day.

"A Rich Nickel Find.

The people of Russell Springs, Logan Co.,, Kan, are very much excited over the discovery of very rich deposit of nickel. A number of claims have been s;aked out and their is gen. cral rush to that point. Two prospectors, Ge- rome Coldren aud Clinton Phelps made the discovery. They have been prospecting in Logan County since April last, and know from the start that minerals of some kind were to be found here. In their search they came across iron, silver, and coal, but were finally reward
 ed by finding this inexhauslible mine of nickel. It is in what is termed blanket ledge, crop ping out all along tho gulch, and is so situated that it can be worked from the surface. No shafts will have to be sunk, and tho cost of mining will be merely nominal. As soon as they made the discovery they sent specimens to assaying offices in Denver, Kansas City, To- pcka, to tho United States Mint in Phi adel phia, anl to assayers in other cities. The says run from to 25 per cent. pure nickel. Nickel is worth Sl8 per ounce, and thus it will be seen that at the lowest estimate, this deposit is worth S7,d00 per ton. IT c two prospectors have been offered $50, ,0oO for their find.

San Diego and Yuma.

Colonel T. J. Duncan of Cincinnati has recently returned to San Diego after a months tour of the Colorado desert, He thinks that the only out. let for the great cattle market of the interior is San Diego, and that the road from Yuma to this city is an as- sured fact.
 "I have seen the best lands in the world" said he to SUN reporter to day. "I have visited the blue grass regions of Kentucky, the Miami valley of Ohio, and the other rich lands of this continent, but none of them can compare with the Arizona country, which, in few years, will thickly see- Jed. The road to Yuma is what is wanted. The Arizona people are loud in their calls for this outlet. In fact 1t is the natural outlet for all that great country in the interior. Any other route of the Southern Pacific main line, to San Diego, is out of the question. The road to Yuma is the one road that will make San Diego 8 wonderful city."-San Diego Sun.

A Reprieve for the Condemned

Wretched men and women long condemn ed to suffer the turtures of dyspepsia, are filled with new hope after few doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. This budding hope blossoms into the fruition of certainty, if the Bitters is persisted in. It brings q reprieve to all dyspeptics who seek it's aid. Flatulence, heartburn, sinking at the pit of the stomach between meals, the nervous tremors and insomnia of which chronic in- digestion is the parent, disappear with their hateful progenitor. Most beneGcent of stomachics! who can wonder that in so many instances it awakens grateful slo- quence in those who, benefited by it, speak voluntarily in its behalf. It requires a grahhic pen to describe the torments of dyspepsia, but in many of the testimonials received by the proprietors of the Bisters, these are portrayed with vivid truthfulness, Constipation, biliousness, muscular debility, malarial levers and rhematism are relieved by it.

How to PruRe.
cory Ho,lster Free Lance.

Corr. Hellstsr Free Lance.-
 If pruning" means cutting of a limb, then any man who knows how to use q pair of pruning shears can prume, and all such need no advice from me.
 To prune tree, MT. Editor; and do it intelligently, one must needs know its nature and its habits, for pruning is but . term for the direction of the vitality of the tree in such way as to accomplish the best results to make the tree strong and healthy, to equal ;1s tn. growth of root and branch, to make it bear only perfect, fine favored fruit.
 This you will see is very difficult work. Different varieties need differ .nt treatment, therefore under this head can only generalize, which, af- ter all would come very far from ac- complaining its aim.
 Let us then consider the apricot first. The apricot iE a vigorous grower and apt to overbear; hence it must be cut back heavily, at least for the first shree years, in order that the wood may become strong and the tree stocky. shat it may successfully withstand the wind and hold the subsequent crop: without breaking down.
 would recommend upon planting to cut the tree back to about fourteen to eighteen inches in height, removing sll lsterals.
 During the first year of the treei life in the orchard it will throw out numerous shoots, which are to be re
 moved at the first pruning, leaving three or four of the most vigorious, be .ng careful to select those st dis tance from each other, rather thar hose around the crown, which if Jeff have tendency to break down or Epli the tree. Cut these back to about one foot in length, leaving the center ol leader from six to eight inches longer han the rest, and leaving the termina oud toward the center and the termina bud on the leader on the side fren which it leans. This is done that th tree may always stand on it's owl center. The second year the tree vii grow more vigorous that the first hence it becomes necessary to pinch oi he ends of the shoots in order t, harden the wood and cause the tree t, throw out some fruit spurs. This i done in August and September. Tn second pruning is more complicated than the first. Remove all outsid
 branches having low tendency, a
 they interfere with cultivation an'
 are liable to break when full of fruit
 leaving gap in the tree, which is no
 easily filled. thus destroying the syn
 uetry of the tree. Thin out well tn center of the tree and cut back t
 about fourteen or sixteen inches again leaving leader older than the rest an
 leaving terminal buds same as before
 So the tree is treated every year. IT.
