The mayor of Wichita writes letter TO
Councilman Walton about Marion's quar-
anting against the Windy Wonder" and
says the population OF that city hasn't d,
creased any on account of the quarantine.
OF course not. 1t has probably increased
Wichita's population AS it has stopped the
stream of immigration from that city to
Marion-just what WAS NATURALIZATION
Times
GUARANTEEING against Wichita at this
late date is like locking the stable door
after the horse is stolen. There would
have been some show of reason in such
an act month or six weeks ago. when
there were few cases of varioloid here.
but to wait until the disease had disap-
peared and than quarantine, shows lack
of judgment, or disposition to willfully
injure this city if possible and inconven-
fence many of your citizens. If YOU
think that policy viii win, why, go

THE RAILROAD SITUATION.

The general freight agents of the
Western and Northwestern railways met
in Chicago Tuesday for the purpose of
arranging an agreement to formulate a
notice restoring freight rates throughout
their territory to the tariffs in effect
prior to the beginning of the rate war.
All of the lines We're represented except
the Burlington, which still declines TO
consent to any advance. Resolutions
were adopted that each line
represented should at once issue circu-
lar. giving notice of the advance to take
effect March 26. The Chicago Kansas
City lines have not vet taken any steps
in this direction, except the Chicago q
Alton, which has agreed TO restore the
rates, providing all the lines in the
Southwest. with the exception of the
Burlington, take the same action. This
seems TO indicate that the other lines
propose To let the Burlington take care
of itself. This move on the part of the
prompted by the action Of the Burling-
ton In cutting rates since the Inaugural
ton Of its present troubles with its en-
ployeS. The c, B, & Q. is a great and
powerful corporation, but it will pro-
badly learn before it is through with the
imhroGho now on its hands that it can
not arbitrarily nave everything to its
own liking whether ii suits other people
or not. Developments will doubtless
come in rapid succession from now until
the end of the troubles.

The prospective settlement of the fish
cries controversy between Canada ami
the United States is a step in the right
direction. if the principles of settlement
are indeed founded in mutual good viii
and reciprocal justice. The very next
step should be the amendment OF the

It Sounds ChicagoeSe.

Kansas City Journal.
Already purchaser has been found
for the tomb of Alexander the Great
A Boston man is willing to give 100000
for it as a speculation. His idea of the
proper use to which to put the sarcOpha
gus of the conqueror is as follows:
There are dozens of millionaire in the
United States who would be only too glad
to have it at any price. Then it would
be a great attraction in any big store,
and would draw customers better than
all the advertisements that could be
made. Finally. any of our big show
men, for instance, would give a great
price for it. The man who owns that
sarcophagus has fortune, if he knows
it." We are surprised at this in a Boston
man.

The most important case, to the
public, among those in which opinions
of the supreme court were handed down
last Saturday was the Cross land case
from Lyon county, involving
the sale of 1920 acres of Normal
school lands. The court affirms the
Judgment of the district court of Lyon
county. and decides in favor of the state,
holding that when a person obtains, by
bribery of those having control of such
contracts, contract for the purchase of
lands of the State Normal school, the
contract is a fraud upon the state, against
public policy, and void.

Potatoes for Early Planting.

As usual. when potatoes sell high in
winter, a great many viii be planted
very early next spring, hoping to get
the extra price that will certainly be
given for the first of the new crop. Later
in the season potatoes may be cheap

scarcity as the present, caused by pre-
vious failure. But now potatoes next
July are sure to bring good and probably
very high prices. OF course they should

The Floridians has displayed no little
enterprise and ingenuity in turning the
recent visit of the presidential party to
that state to account in a business way,
as means of advertising. Attractive
and beautiful illustrations are being sent
out representing the president and his
party in an orange grove plucking the
golden fruit. Underneath the picture is
the inscription: Mrs. Cleveland was
the first to pluck an orange and the pres
ident to eat one The scene is very
taking" abstractly viewed and consid-
cred, but it brings to mind, involuntarily,
another similar incident which, although
it occurred some time ago, a reminder Of
it and what it cost not only the universe
but the celestial abode. chillS admiration
for the artists skill and admiration for
the romance of the situation. In this
view the selection of the inscription was
perhaps unfortunate.

Henry George says that the Mills tariff
bill possesses, in common with Mr..
Clevelands message, this all compensat-
ing virtue, that, while protesting vener-
alton for protection, it really aims a
deadly blow at the ugly fetich.' This,
of course, is meant as a compliment to
both the message and the bill, but it is of
the sort that friends of protection enjoy,
as affording their cause strongest encour-

The Russian newspapers seem very
anxious that the new German EN-
peror, Frederick William, shall continue
the peace policy of his illustrious father
towards Russia. They need give them
selves no special concern on that point,
however. SO long as Bismarck lives and
Russia ''tends to her own knittin," there
will be no conflict between them.

much less likely to rot, After the
planting is done ridge up over the rows,
which will still further diminish the ten
dency to rot. Weed out the extra shoots
above these by giving them sharp,
quick jerk, breaking them off where
they join the potato. This will insure a
large quantity of marketable potatoes
and fewer small ones. Then as soon as
the potato is above ground. go between
the rows with wagon load of manure,
throwing a shovelful of manure on each
hill. What is wanted is to hurry the
crop forward. The extra yield and in
creased price will pay for some unusual
care in manuring, managing and cult
waiting. CultivatOr.
Arbor Day.
Apropos to Gov. Martins proclamation
of Arbor Day on April 4th, we clip from
the New York Independent the following
suggestions of that veteran tree planter,
B. G. Northrup of Clinton. Conn:
Economic tree planting was the
prime object of Arbor Day when it was
started sixteen years ago. The co-opera-
ton og youth was not then specially IN
vited. Arbor Day in school is com
paratlvelY new movement. To interest
yout is now everywhere made a promi-
nent aim of Arbor Day. The economic
and aesthetic here go hand in hand.
This enlisting of schools has proved an
effective way of calling public attention
TO the Importance of forestry.
Trees and tree planting form a fit
subject for the oral lessons now demand
ed i'll our best schools. Pupils should
thus be led to observe trees and learn
their habits, for then they will appreci-
ate them as the grandest products of ma
ture. One of the educational forces Of
Arbor day begins when children are
prompted to plant, not only trees but
tree seeds, acorns, ash, elm, or maple
keys, nuts, drupe stones, or pits, and
then year by year to observe the wonder
full miracles which the tree-life they have
started is working out before them.
What interest and profit, what growth
of mind and heart they will gain as they
watch the mysterious forces of these liv-
ing germs; their marvellous assimilating
power, carrying on such a curious chem
istry in their underground laboratory
conjoined with the upper story appa-
ratus of foliage, secreting acids that dis
solve sand and stones. transmitting
coarse earth, and even filth. into living
forms of beauty and fragrance. 1t is
something for a child to drop such a
germ in the earth and think Of its posi-
bilities.
How lasting contribution may thus
be made to the natural beauty around
the home. The trees which children
start may be priced with a growing
sentiment of companionship. and be-
come living memorials of happy, youth
full days. Thus the influences of Arbor
Day Will manifest themselves more and
more as the years go by. especially to
those who early follow DR.. Holmes adj
vice, and make trees monuments of
history and character

Henry Bergh, founder and president
of the society for the prevention of cru

The first Texas cattle drive started up
the trail last week. 1t consisted of IL, 900

An acre of corn fodder well manured

An acre of corn fodder well MANFRED,
says the American Cultivator, will
furnish ensilage enough to keep two
COWS, or that rates for d large number,
provided few dollars worth of other
feed is purchased to supplement it.
This, with good butter COWS, will pays,
almost regardless of the price Of butter.
Success then does not depend, as so
many think, so much on the price of
products as it does on making them at
least cost. If farmers will study on this
end of the problem they can effect some
thing.

Dairy Notes and News

Chicago alone handled more than 15O,-
600, 005 pounds of butter.
Scottish cheese makers have been
sending to Canada for instructors in the
cheese makers art.
If cheese making is to be continued.
says well-known English writer, it
must be in the factory and not in the
farmhouse.
Poor cows and poor butter and cheese
will not pay. Good COWS and good pro-
duct will. Indications point to an in
creased interest in darying. Farmers
who keep to the front are sure of the
greatest success and the largest share of
profit.
1t is noticeable that in many parts of
New England where creameries have
been established the wOrnout farms have
been induced, under the change of man.
agement, to give much larger crops of
grass and grain. More cows means
larger manure piles and increased fer
tiIity.
The best creamery butter, says the
Western Rural, finds ready sale at the
best market price, and the average con-
sumner is after good butter and not seek
ing a low price. Good creamery is an
elegant article. Dairy may be Just as
good if it is made with the same care
and by practically the same methods.
