vsrlstloa in Quality of Fruit.

Fruits of the same nominal kind often differ much in quality. It has bcen supposed by some within few years that as most fruits are now grafted or budded. thus variation in quality may depend on the original stock. But it Is certain that so much depends on soil, access to sunshine and other conditions that little room re- mains for other factors. Maturing heavily with stable manures injures fruit quality. Thcse are mainly nitro genous. and they cause an excess of sap that the leaves cannot wholly as simulate. Excessive mAnuring with some mineral that lnjures the roots may also cause injury to or entire destruction of the leaf. in which case the fruit is worthless A barrel of brine carclessly emptied near . plum trcc In midsummer carried such sxesss ol salt to tho leaves that they

The War Between the Rock Island
and jay Gould.

anu Jay GOulO.
The "Flyer" that was to go on the
Rock Island between Chicago and
Denver is declared off for the present
we learn, as the Rock Island and Jay
Gould are IN a quarrel. The Kan
sas City Star of yesterday says:
''The Rock Island has withdraw n
its engines from the Union Pacific
tracks at Beatrice and the latter road
has torn up the switches to prevent a
recurrence of the trouble. The Rock
Island people say they gained their
point when they occupied the track
for twenty-four hours and were re-
fused running orders. The matter
Will go into the courts.
It was reported here to-day that
the Union Pacifc-Rock Island fight
would spread to Kansas City, and
that the latter's trains would be or
dered off of the Union Pacific tracks
between Topeka and Kansas City.
Up to noon to-day no action had
been taken, but the representatives
of the two roads here seem to be of
the opinion that orders to that effect
will be received ere long.
The Rock Island uses the Union
Pacific tracks from Topeka to Kan
sas City, and also from Limon to
Denver. It is believed that the
Union Pacific viii clear both lines,
but the action will not, it is thought,
shut out the Rock Island
The Santa Fe people offered their
tracks from Kansas City to Topeka
to the Rock Island a few days ago,
and an official of the latter road said
to-day that the offer would be ac-
cepted IN case the trains were refus-
ed orders on the Union Pacific. The
official also stated that while the San
ia Fe would be glad to make a con-
tract, the one IN existence with the
Union Pacific would be observed IN
til abrogated by that company.
At Limon it would only be trade
as the Union Pacific uses the Rock
Island tracks from Limon 10 Colora-

The Latest POLITICAL Sensation

The Latest Political Sensation
The Topeka Adrocats, the leading
Alliance paper of Kansas, has pub
lished a lei from Congressman
E. j. Tuner which is creating a SEN
sation. The letter was written at
Washington and sent to Frank Nc
Grath, President of the Kansas State
Alliance. The confidential clerk of !
President McGrath, who first opened
it, was astounded at the differences
and direct statements of the letter |
and handed it over to the editor of |
the Advocate who has printed it IN
full. The substance of the letter is
to the effect that Ingalls, can hardly
succeed to a reelection and if certain
things can be accomplished he (Turn-
err might be chosen. In confden-
tial way Turner says to McGrsth:
''Just received a letter from Far
well of Osborne, and he says their
representative does not like the Ali
ance candidates, and that he is an old
Republican and would vote for some
good Republican but would not vote
for Ingalls,.
Farwell wants to know if I want his
vote: thinks it can be had

ed him what he thought of it, etc. /;
that had not written any one upon
the subject, etc.

lively opposed to Ingalls,, but says he
will vote for him if there is no other
Republican to vote for.
= Judge Perkins introduced him to
me and asked me to talk with him in
his (Perkin's) interest and I did so.
! He would not support Osborne OF
l Peck, but said he could support Per
. kins.
1 told him not to fear; there would
come a time when he would get ar
L opportunity to vote for some Other

s anxious to get into the deal.

THERE is little new to report in re-
gard to the Indian War. The air is
full of rumors of battles but the pa
pers of one day deny the report of
the previous day. The daily papers
of yesterday report that the situation
is critical but that is in turn denied
by other journals. The fact is leak
ing out that much of the Indian trou-
BILE Is caused by the white Indian
Agents who rob both the Red men
and the Government. The killing of
Sitting Bull is now said to have been
cold-blooded murder without provo
cation. So strong is this presump-
ton that the committee on military
affairs to-day ordered favorable re-
port to be made on the McAdoo reso-
luton calling for the correspondence
and papers with reference to the kill
ing of Sitting Bull.

Interest continues to increase In re-
gard to the erection of the proposed
Garfield monument. Nearly every
body is talking about it. Henry d.
Duncan, treasurer of the fund, is will
ing to call meeting of the eontribu.
tors as soon as a sufficient number OF
them signify their willingness to have
meeting called.
A good plan for Mr.. Duncan would
BIO to call such a meeting himself in
the Board of Trade rooms or some
such convenient place, and let them
take action. Samuel Chambers, one
OF the Street and Sewer Directors, re-
ferring to the matter thought that the
city should be liberal enough to build
a stone base for the monument.
MIR. Job II. jackson is heartily In
sympathy with the monument. He
thought the best place, In regard to
the selection of site, would be to
leave the selection entirely with the
public. The people, he thinks, should
decide where the monument is locat-
ed.
amongst tho sites suggested for the
monument has been at the entrance to
the Courthouse between the two
small circles of granite, or the two
flights Of steps, whore the elevation is
greater, and where it would appear to
The best advantage.
