Arbor DAY..

To day is Arbor Day, designated SO by
the governor of the state, and the people
are exhorted to observe it by devoting it
to the planting and culture Of trees. Are
you doing your share in this work, which
will rebound to you own happiness and
comfort and general good. Milbank and
Grant county is in advance of many of
the cities and counties of the northern
part OF the state in this matter and our
people should spare no efforts to keep
we'll IN the lead. Speaking of what has
been done in the older settled portion Of
the state the Aberdeen News says:
During the first ten years of the set
t.ement OF the southern portion
OF the state practically no trees
could be grown, aud it was said that
their cultivation was impossible, yet
the person who rides through that
section now can hardly believe that the
many fine groves are not natural and
the straightness of the rows is the only
indication that the trees were planted by
man. Every town, every farm ard every
door yard is beautitied with natures best
adornment, and the views in Bonhomme
and neighboring counties transport the
traveller to the scenes of his childhood.
Some Of the farmers have as good sugar
bush" as in Michigan, Vermont or New
York, while there are black walnut
groves with trees six to eight inches in
diameter. What some have done IN this
direction others can do if they only will.

A telegram was received Wednesday
announcing the death of A. Mcfarland
OF this county. Mr. Mcfarland was one
Of the early residents OF the county,
and for number of winters held writ
ing schools in different places in the
vicinity, but OF late had been more or less
employed as an insurance agent, at one
time for the Alliance but last summer
for the Dakota Hail OF Mitchell. He
was married to daughter of F. L. Cam
eron of Twin Brooks, but his wife died
a few years ago. The deceased man
was addicted to too free ir diligence
in intoxicants, and it is possible that this
had something to do with his sudden
taking off, the following account Of which
is taken from the st. Paul Pioneer Press;
The mangied body OF an unkonwn man
lay all day yesterday on a slab at
William Dampier's undertaking establish
ment on West Third street. The body
was taken there in the morning from ST.
Joseph's hospital, the man having died
from injuries received by being struck by
Burlington Short Line tram. He
was walking along the track and
must have been oblivious to the approach
Of the train. His head was crushed and
and his limbs broken. In the pockets
OF his clothes were found cards bearing
the names OF A. Mcfarland, which seem
ed to predominate, and William ID. Keri-
van. A slip Of paper was found bearing
the name Nels Olson. A number OF life
insurance policies and receipts were
found ia u pocket book signed A. McFar-
land. The coroner of Washington
county viewed the body yesterday and
decided that it would be unnecessary to
hold an inquest The body will be kept
at Dampier's to await identification.

oregon Fruit at Chicago.


Frequent inquiries are made as to
whether the installation of fresh fruit
exhibits will be allowed, pending the
progress of the fair, during the latter
months, when the crops of this year
mature. While there is no positive as
surance that this will be permitted, Mr..
Myers desires to say that it is quite
probable that allotted spaces may be
80 devoted by the withdrawal of
old exhibits and the substitution of the
new and fresh ones. At least, every eff
fort will be made to have this privilege
granted, and it is hoped that all parts OF
the state will do their utmost to make
such display as will be very creditable
to the pomological industry. Not alone
in this way will splendid opportunity
be presented to Oregon, but there is
reason to believe that a great market
will be open to shippers of car lots oi
fruit for sale in Chicago during the sum-
mer. More substantial results will be
reached in this way, probably, than by
the exhibits, as the test of flavor and
richness is one that Oregon boasts and
relies upon for the merit of superiority
At all events, there are splendid oppor-
tunities open to fruit-growers of Oregon.

OAKLAND, April 3.-About 80 o. o'clock
this morning Carl Rock came to the
house where Emile Standardization
was keeping house for G. w. Knauth,
machinist, and requested her to return
and live with him. When she refused
he raised pistol which he carried in
his hand and shot her in the right
temple. She attempted to get away
from him through the front door, but
before she could do SO he shot her again
in the head. Rock then ran out of the
back door and down into the cellar,
where he placed the pistol to his temple
and fired. When the officer reached
him he was just gasping his last. The
woman is still alive and conscious but
is very weak. 1t appears that the man
and woman had been living together in
San Francisco for some time, although
they were not married. They have two
children, one girl years, and boy 2
years of age. About a month ago the
woman left Rock because he wanted her
to support him and the children, and
she came to Oakland to keep house for
Knauth. Ever since that time he has
been trying to get her back. Rock was
about 40 years of age. Among his effects
was sealed letter to the Californian.
Rock and the woman are said to be
cousins.

smokeless Powder.

WASHINGTON. April 3.-A Virginia
man appears to have made the best
smokeless powder which the army has
tested up to date. The test was recently
made at the Frankfort, Pa, arsenal with
excellent results, and request was sent
for additional and larger quantities of
the powder. The composition came
from Leonard Mason, who has not been
known as chemist to ordnance experts.
Another successful sample has been re-
ceived from the California Powder COM
pany, and the firm is engaged in devel-
oping the powder recently tested with
good results. The failure of congress to
appropriate any money for the equip
ment of the powder laboratory which
General Flagler desired to establish at
Frankford must necessarily delay the
discovery of a successful powder. The
navy has been little more fortunate in
this particular, and has laboratory at
Newport in charge of chemist who
spends most of his time in developing a
smokeless powder, which has already
been tried with results that exceed in
merit the best of the smokeless powders
tried abroad. The composition of the
navy powder is kept secret, and many
of the military attaches of foreign lega-
tions in Washington have besought
Commodore Simpson to furnish them
with his formula.
