STRAWBERRIES.

1t is time for strawberry planting,
and no one having a garden should
neglect having bed of the luscious
wholesome fruit. A few points that we
CLEAN from successful fruit growers may
not come amisS to our amateur straw
berry grower. Make your beds whether
long or short, of such width that you
can easily reach from the sides to the
center III picking. Have the ground
mellow and rich and free from weeds.
Choose for variety, early and late
berries bed of each. Wood and War
field, or Wilson and Crescent for early;
but the Wood and Warfeld give larger
yield. For late, Earle and Eureka or
Jessie and Sharpless. If you want big
berries choose Jessie and Bubach This
selection is made from 200 varieties by
a noted bergman and will not be dis
appointing. Some grow discouraged
because their vines will grow rank with
out berries enough to pay for picking.
Here the cause of failure is. They are
all pistlllate plants and are worthless
for fruit though the fields are white
with blossoms, unless some fayoring
wind bear the fertllizing pollen from
some perfect or staminate plants.
A grower who says he has picked 100
quarts from a row nineteen rods long at
one picking, picking the same row
every other day for three weeks, and
when planted the year before had just
one dozen and half of plants, gives
this bit of advice: Get twenty-five each
of early, medium, late and big berries
if you have room, if not of course get q
lesser quantity, get perfect plants, and
mark them in pairs, so the two kinds
may set side by side the pistillate and
staminate, and you will have a bic
yield of perfect berries. Keep a book
and mark your success and you will be
able to intelligently select the choicest
varieties to make specialties of, fol
future growing. If once you begin tc
grow strawberries in right manner, you
will never be without a bed again
There is a fascination IN fruit culture
equal to the fine phases of horticulture
and indeed it is more satisfactory to the
housewife who delights in laying NJ
winter store.

The Sagacio us Boy.

You never can catch a Yankee boy
You can never corner him. A gentle
man travelling in the country al
Stoddard, n. H., where it is all rocks
and powders and abandoned farms
the old farmhouses going to ruin-saW
boy of twelve or fourteen hoeing in a
cornfeld on the side Of what would be
pasture land on anybody else's farm.
The corn was rather poor looking. The
traveller reined in his horse and spoke
to the boy. He said to him, ''Your corn
looks rather small"
"Well," said the boy, "we planted dwarf
corn"
"WeI, it ksyellow, poor and thin. y
"Well, we planted yellow corn"
"Well'' said the traveller, II don't
mean that It don't look as if you
would get more than half a crop"
81 don't expect to. l planted it on
shares.

Mead Turder Trial Closed.

The Mead murder case Just tried in
Waupaca closes the case for all time,
and the suspected parties can breath
freely once more. They were all ac-
quilted. The county has been to an ex-
pense of over $4,000, and a mass OF
testimony has been adduced blackenine
the characters of men now holding
prominent places in the public esteem,
all to no purpose. An inofensive old
man was brutallY murdered and robbed
and the crime will 60 unpunished by
any public tribunal. The laws delay,
the influence Of friends and associates,
the lack Of unimpeachable evidence Of
eye witnesses, all help to obscure the
the eye of justice.
The opinion Of the public has not
been much changed by the trial, and q
cloud rests over some Of the defendants
in the case, as we'll as over witnesses
whose honor has never before been i'm
peached. Judge Cate made mastery
speech in behalf of his clients, and won
from his opponents the credit Of ''neye1
having lost q case where he defended a
man on trial for murder" 1t has been
one of the most notable trials ever held
in Wisconsin and created wide spread
interest elsewhere.

NORMAL SCHOOLS LOCATED.
Stevens Point and West Superior
Get Them.

The Normal School over which the
interest of ls.ige section of adjoining
country has centered, and which the
Twin Cities wot.ll have gladly welcomed,
has been awarded by the Board of
Regents to our sister city Stevens
Point. In its loss we have this conso-
lation, it is convenient for Normal
pupils from the Twin Cities to attend,
and many of the advantages accrUing
from it as an educational institution will
still remain. Stevens Point was iubi-
liant over the good news and enthused
the people of the town to celebrate the
event by demonstration, wherein bells
were rung, cannons doomed etc. As
our hopes were defeated we gracefully
yield the palm to our more fortunate
rival and extent congratulations The
conditions on which the cities of Stevens
Point and West Superior get the coveted
schools are that they must each turn
over to the treasurer of the board of
regents $50, 900 in cash and deliver to
the secretary of the board a warrantee
deed Of site which the board shall
select.

Down the River.

Messrs. Fritz Kruger, Geo. W. Davis,
Geo. Brazeau and Oscar Hathaway
started Sunday for trip down the Wis
consin and Mississippi rivers as far as
Burlington, Iowa. From Burlington
Messrs. Kruger and Davis will go into
the interior of Iowa by bicycle about
165 miles to Murray, the home of Mr..
Davis parents. Messrs. Brazeau and
Hathaway will return home by rail
visiting the World Fair on the way
The boys have planned fine outing
and we are sure will have big stories to
tell when back home. We will all be
ready to gather round the camp fire to
listen to their tales of war.

There are characteristics of character
that we instinctively hate, viz: lying,
hypocrisy, selishness, thievery, and
kindred vices of narrow souls, but be-
yOnd these there are those that we
loathe, abhor; that stir in us feeling of
active resentment. tits those, happily
rare peculiarities, of intensely selfish
minds and dWarfed souls, with tact
enough to pose as sanity beings, who
practice their selfshness and impose
their venomous traits on those most
near to them, where the sacredness of
the family circle, and ties of relation
ship shield them from public scour
The parents, brothers and sisters, or
husband and children it is safe to im-
pose upon without fear Of exposure
From such natures come the full ranks
of heart broken wives, spirit broken
husbands and alienated family ties.

Temples in which money getting, and
cant, and greed, and persecution
reigned were as contrary to divine
teaching then as it should be now.
Public opinion rules the law, and
human rights rule public opinion in the
cycles Of time. Practically, votes count
in the making of ordinances and q
liberal policy carried out amounts to
more than extreme measures carried
by force.

The Twin City Bands.

The Twin Cities have never suffered
greater loss in a social and musical
sense, than in the breaking up of The
Twin City Band. There were few
bands in the state that equaled them
and in the opinion of competent Judges
they had but one superior. Beside
their musical training and natural
ability, they were courteous, obliging
and gentlemanly to man, devoid of all
empty affectations and appreciative OF
the public recognition that has been ac-
corded them We can never have a
more pleasant and satisfactory band.

NURSERY AGENTS.

We clip the following letter and reply
from the Wisconsin Farmer and think
it may be of interest to the people OF
the Twin Cities:
Mr.. EDIToR:-Can you tell me through
your paper if there is q nursery firm at
Madison by the name of Tormey Bros?
There has been an agent selling trees
here for them, asking soc. to 81 each for
apple trees. OF course such a bare
faced sWindle finds lots of buyers, as
the people always prefer to pay a big
price for something they know nothing
about, rather than buy of reliable
parties at honest prices.
l.. III. READ,
Grand Rapids, Wis.
Mr.. Read inquiries whether there is a
nursery firm in Madison styled Tormey
Bros, whose card as ''introducers" of
hardy fruits, ETC., he sends us. There
is no firm of that name located here
that we know of although the card
bears the name of Madison, Wis.," as
its location.
1t is a good plan to buy only of
parties that are known to be reliable
and readers of the REPORTER should
look out for this man.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October IS
The Washington NGlVS prints the fol-
lowing editorial:
The United Press is losing ground
constantly, however loudly IL may pro-
test TO the contrary, The latest de-
lection of It's ranks, or the latest which
we happened to hear Of, It is also an
in portrait detection. 1t is the New
York Commercial AdUcrttseT, the
oldest daily newspaper in the city,
which together with its junior
adjunct, the Morning Advertiser, has
now abandoned the United Press and
Joined the Associated Press. II has
taken the action for good and Sutfi-
cieut reason, namely, that it was dis
satisfied with the United Press news
services, and preferred the very supe-
rior service furnished by the Associated
Press. In this IL has coincided with
the opinions and followed the ca
amples OF dozens OF substantial
papers all over the country which
have made the same change recently.
With almost allthe papers OF Minneapo-
lis, Milwaukee. Kansas City, Denver and
dozen other Western cities abandoning
the United Press for the Associated
Press, without counting the Chicago
papers following suit, and with two
New York papers already joining that
organization and the very Influential
papers OF the metropolis preparing TO
do so, 1t was seen that the days Of this
particular United Press "bluff" were
about mum bered. The United Press at
this rate will soon have to be re.chris-
tened the ''Dls- United Press"

pied the seat of honor, with Archbishop
Satolli on his right and Archbishop
Williams on his left. After dinner the
first toast was 10 the Cardinal. he re-
sponded, speaking gratefully OF the
honors tended him. Il was his inten-
tion, he said, to have no demonstration
on the occasion of his jubilee,
but the Pope had indicated his wishes
that the event be held on fitting scale
and he was obsdient to his wishes. In
concluding be offered q toast to the
Apostolic Delegate, and the toast was
drank standing.
Archbishop Satolli responded In Ital-
ian and was frequently applauded.
He said number OF compliment
airy things Of the Cardinal, stating
that upon their first meeting In
Rome In 1870 he was struck with the
appearance of the young American
Bishop, and then expected great things
OF him.
"rhe See OF Baltimore" was re-
sponded to by Archbishop Kain,
of ST. Louis, aud "Our Country" was
responded to by Archbishop Ryan, OF
Philadelphia. "Our Hierarchy" was re-
sponded to by Bishop Hennessey OF
Kansas.
Then iollowde an interesting feature.
DR.. Moriarity brought out the phono-
graph and those who were near enough
could hear the following message which
those who had heard Pope Leo declared
to be a perfect repttion Of his
WELL MoDULATED TONES.
'From the city Of Rome, Leo XIII sends
to the people Of America cordial greetings
and his best wishes. Most heartily DO we
congratulate you so splendidly fourishing
In civilization and wealth and the glory OF
manifold industries We take part IN
your Joy and in the honors htungly
rendered to that immortal man Colum-
bus, the Italian. We wish TO
all classes among you, through
the blessing of heaven, copious increase OF
happiness and pleasure. The children OF
the Catholic Church we embrace with
especial affection, and we bestow upon
them the apostolic benediction.'
This concluded the exercises.
In the evening pontifcial Vespers
we're celebrated at the cathedral. Bishop
Ireland delivered the sermon.
