A great many trees are being planted this

say it does not pay to plant trees, but ye scribe

trees and our success has been such that we are
still in hopes of growing a nice grove before we

pruning would have had still better success.
You correspondent received copy OF the PRO
ceedings of the 18th Annual Meeting of the Kan

experience of men from different parts Of the
State is given in tree planting, and what We read
in the report coupled with our experience, tends

About the Sudden Death of James
Macarthur.


Last week we gave a brief account
OF the mysterious death of James Nc
Arthur near Agra. The following
additional items we CLEAN from the
Agra Graphic:
Squire Wands held an inquest.
Peter Gruver, stepsOn of the deceased,
was the first witness and he stated
that while he and his.bTOther Willard
were stacking straw their stepfather
came into the yard where there was
some loose horses and was keeping
them away from the load. AS Mr..
Macarthur was climbing over a fence
he made a motion with a stick at a
horse standing close by when the
horse turned and kicked him with
both hind feet. This frightened the
team the boys were driving and it ran
a short distance. Willard took care
Of the team while his brother took
Macarthur to the house and washed
his wounds. 1t seems as though Mr..
Macarthur had a desire to get away
from home and would send his step
son to do some work and as soon as
he was out of sight would leave home
and go down the road. He left four

Of Phillips County Greeting.
The Governor of our State, L. u.
Humphrey, has seen fit to designate
Thursday, the Eleventh day of April,
as Arbor Day. L earnestly request
that the school district officers, and
teachers IN conjunction with the rest
of the district, meet on that day and
set out shade trees in their school

1t IS proposed that the salary of
Senators and members of the House
of Congress be raised from $1,000 per
year to $4,000 We are opposed to
the proposition. $4,000 is ample. We
may concede that a man cannot zen
tertain' and give nor attend grand
banquets and balls every week on
that salary but this is a Republic:
We need no aping of European king
ly courts and if our Senators and
Representatives cannot live on $4,000
per year let them resign and go home
and the people will send somebody to
fill their places who can make ends
meet on that salary and save some
thing besides.

While at Hastings, Neb., last week
we heard an antiprohibitionist assert
that prohibition had nearly ruined
Iowa and was a terrible draw back to
Kansas. We interrupted the gentle
man to assure him that he was labor
ing under a serious mistake. Iowa
is one of the most prosperous states
in the Union, and Kansas, though
drouth had injured some portions
last year, was far ahead of Nebraska
as state. A careful investigation
viii reveal the fact that the prohibi-
tory law of Kansas is as well enforced
as any other law and that prohibi-
ton has been a great success here.
Crime has been greatly diminished
by the direct and indirect effects of
prohibitory laws. Nebraska should
join the temperance procession"

Lamb may have had his faults. nos
sibly had many, he might have been

ROCK ISLAND AHEAD.
The Latest Thin In Tourist Sleep
ing Cars.

The Rock Island has inaugurated q new feature,
which promise to create considerable interest in
railway improvement, it being a free tourist car
service, with nearly ali the conveRiences OF the
palace car including cOlOred porter in attendance,
fine hair mattresses. pillows, blankets, soap, etc
When made up FOR the night the fourteen sec.
tions are partitiOned off with sliding panels, and
curtained with heavy damask draperies. Tables
attachable to the sides Of the interior, are pro-
vided for each section. The cars are heated by
steam, the aisles Carpeted and cuspldOrs for the
cleanliness OF the cars, are added. The duties OF
the porter accompanying each car will be similar to
those of the palace car EerViCetO look after the
wants OF the passengers and see that the car is
kent perfectly clean. In one end ie the ladies'
lavatOry, and in the other, one for gentlemen
which are nicely appointed and furnished as the
most fastidiOus would desire. The intention OF
the Chicago, Kansas y Nebraska ie TO furnish
these cars free of charge TO tourist or excursion
parties when the number Of persons is suhclenCly
large to Justify the use OF car or cars. With
such accommodations, and without charge. there
is no further necessity OF Il Western tour without
sleeping accommodations nor is it necessary to
make such a trip expensive. It is great Induce
ment fer parties, clubs, or any considerable num-
Der of persons contemplating trip to the Rocky
Mountains, for instance. And, too, the Denver
3 Rio Grand has adopted the same scheme, and
as the Rock Island connects with this route III
Colorado. the free tourist car system Will no
doubt be generally adopted by those in search OF
the pleasure and health-giving regions of our con
tinent.-Kansas City Journal. II.
