The statement which has found
its way In the daily papers that John
W. Lowe is a defaulter to the amount
of from $4,000 to $4,000 is greatly
exaggerated. It is believed here
that it will not exceed $4,000 all
told in the last three or more years.
The report that he drew So, 800 from
a bank at Republican City, Nebraska,
near the time he left is unfounded
He probably did not have much
money when he left. All his later
transactions seem to have been made
to get money to make good, the short
ages that apparently existed two or
three years ago.

that the case will probably come be-

careful to so discuss a case in court,

EARLY CHURCH SPIRES.
When SteepIes First Played Part In
Church Architecture.

When SteepIes First Played "a Part In
Church Architecture.
AS the very earliest churches had no
bells, and therefore no belfries. there
we're no spires When bells were first
Used to summon wOrshipers they were
small and were suspended in small bell
turrets or bell cots. After large bells
were made high and rich and imposing
steeples were erected for their recep-
ton. Communities WED with each
other to make them as magnificent as
possible and in the number of bells
they placed in them. They seem in
early instances to have been placed at
the west end of churches, probably IN
continuation of the custom in vogue
before they were required of placing
strong towers there for the purpose OF
defense. Eventually, central towers
were adopted. in cruciform buildings
especially. These combined the pur-
pose of a belfry, with the addition of
vast open space in the interior. which
gave light and grandeur to it. Small
edifices may have been content with
low conical spires or spirelets in these
remote times; but, as years passed.
succeeding builders made them more
and more po nted or needle-like. and
generally of the same height as the
towers on which they were placed.
Every church-tOws was either finished
with a spire or intended to be so fin
ished at a future time. London when
seen from a distance is said to have
presented the aspect of a forest of
spires. There were particular laws of
construction always carried out. which
need not be described except to men,
ton that much of the sober, soaring.
light and picturesque effect OF their
outlines is the result of the clever
treatment of the transition from the
square Of the tower to the form of the
pyramidal octagon. Recorded particu-
lars concerning their erection are ex-
tremely rare; but more frequently in
old church wardens' accounts there are
entries in which mention is made of
them For instance, the church-ward-

Time to Organize.

The Creator wisely fixed the line to
which tropical sugar is grown; also
the cotton belt of the country. Cot
ton is also grown to a certain parallel
of latitude. So. also, is the White
Burley grown in a certain we'll
defined. but limited. district of terri.
tory. In that region it may be best
for many of us not to raise a single
plant the coming season. If we do
not we will be able to realize as
much money for the present crop as
we will for the next three crops.
Shall the poor farmers, therefore, con-
tinue to be ''hewers of wood and draw
ers of water?" We propose to organize
thoroughly, and have a committee for
each school district and each precinct
in every county. If two-thirds of the
white Burley district" agree to this
and sign an article to that effect, ther
we are all right. Then let the remain
ing produce what they can. advan-
tageously. The proposition is entirely
practicable, and can be carried out Il
is time for the farmer, who produces
the wealth of the country, to organize.

Have a Strawberry Bed.


OF all the varieties of small fruits
the strawberry is the general favorite,
and of such easy culture and manage.
ment, that every farmer could have a
generous supply for home use, if but a
little space of ground is devoted tC
them, and have them, too, early in the
morning, in all their dewy fragrance
and freshness.
Considering the comparative ease OF
establishing a good strawberry bed or
patch, it is surprising that every
farmer does not have one, especially,
considering the general acceptable
ness of the fruit to young and old.
We have seen very many farmers,
men of fair means and large farms,
who not only bought what little
small fruits they were mind
ed their families should have, but
also depended upon purchase
alone for almost all the vegetables
they used in their families Their
excuse is, that it costs less to buy what
they use, than to grow the same small
amount. But this is far from the
truth, TO say nothing of the advantage
Of having them always at hand and in
better condition. Besides, whore a
farmer raises them, there will be
greater abundance. and more will be
used, to the exclusion Of more solid
and less wholesome foods.
Aoi1a fpop, ho ,,lopftr pf f,ach
fruit during summer an abundance of
it on the farm enables the housewife to
put up large quantities for winter use,
which is so very acceptable on the
table when fresh fruit can not readily
be obtained.
For home use some advocate raising
the plants as single stools, keeping the
runners cut off; this iEsures large, fine
berries, but is considerable trouble.
Tbs better way. we think, is to lay off
plat of ground as large as desired,
or as required for the supply of the
family, have it well broken with the
pillow or spade, after which rake or
harrow it thoroughly; then work it of
about two and half feet apart, MAX
ing the burrows deep enough to put in
little fine, well-rotted manure.
Then ridge up over the manure,
and put out the plants about
fifteen inches apart, first dipping
the roots of the plants in thick.
muddy water. Some prefer putting
the roots straight down, but we are in
clined to think that spreading them
out is the better way this being the
natural position Of the roots; but either
way, the soil should be firmly pressed
about them.
Then give such cultivation as to keep
out all weeds and grass. The first year
all the blossoms should be cut off,
which will insure a steady, vigorous
growth, as well as insure more abun.

PRINCELY DINNERS.
The Comparatively Plain Table Kept by
Royal Households.

The Comparatively Plain Table Kept by
Royal Households.
In our day royal households keep
comparatively less sumptuous table
than many private individuals.
Queen Victoria is fond of Scotch
cookery, and commences her repasts
with oatmeal broth and cream por-
ridge. She drinks pale Domech sherry
from a silver cup of marvelously-deli-
cate workmanship that originally be-
longed to Queen Anne. The Queens
manner in the evening is complete.
The table is lighted by golden candel-
abra holding wax candles, and masses
of orchids placed in epergnes reach up
to the ceiling. Her Majesty eats a
special kind of meal bread highly
baked in a square loaf.
The Queen of Sweden keeps tempt
ing table. Soup, nearly always clotted
cream and barley; steak. and one of
her favorite dishes, balls of hashed
meat, cooked in oil and surrounded by
poached eggs. Then at almost every
meal follows the national and natural
Wand, salmon preserved in the earth.
At the German Court the Grand
Duchess of Baden keeps the most re-
fined table. She has French cook
and the best of French cuisine, little
too white, perhaps, too many dump
lings and jellies, but still refined
kitchen, and excellent wines. The
Grand Duchess makes her own coffee
in Russian cotfee-pot of enameled
gold.
The Empress Victoria lives in En-
glish style, and added a great deal of
milk to her cookery when the first
symptoms of the Crown Princes illness
appeared. She has a preference for
mashed vegetables, with gravy and
pastry of every kind
In Italy the court dimes at a table
covered with magnificent hammered
gold plate, the only luxury visible.
There are no flowers, and the dishes
of the country prevail. especially the
frittO, a mixture of artichokes, hearts,
liver, brains and cocks combs.
At the Comte de Paris the cuisine is
English and bourgeoise. The peculiar
feature is that soup is served at lunch
con. The wines are Asti, Zucco and
Pontet-Canet. In the morning English
and in the evening French silver plate
is used.
The Due d'Aumale favors French
cookery. Onion soup for lunch, with
coarse. almost military bread. One
delicacy is permitted, a marvellous
kind of cream cheese. Paris Gaulois.
