The controversy over the county con-
victs has been settled and they will all be
put to work on the county roads, as they

between the sheriff and commissioners
and the county cOnvictS will all have to

The Wellington Mail has tbja which |

The Wellington Mail has this, which
might pass for razzle-dazzle: One OF
the most remarkable phenomena which
has ever come TO our notice was the
spontaneous combustion Of two dead
cedar trees in Alb Frantz's yard, occur
ring just about week apart almost to
the minute. Last spring he planted
two cedar trees in his trout yard and
they both died. A week ago last Sun
day about o'clock in tho afternoon one
of the trees caught fire and burned up,
and as there was no one near the
tree at the time, it can be attributed to
no other cause than the direct rays Of the
sun. Last Sunday at Just about the
same time of day, the other caught fire
in the same manner and was burned up.
Topeka Capital: Mrs. Charles Stair,
an aunt Of G, w. Willets, met with an
accident, and considering her age the
injuries she received are quite seri-
GUS. Mrs. Stair and Mr.. Willets had
been in Wabaunsee county visiting, and
started to return Wednesday morning.
When they reached Washburn college
they met a covered wagon along side Of
the road. Their horse suddenly fright
ened and turned abruptly, backing the
buggy into ditch, which was about six
feet deep, at tho side OF the road. Both
Mrs. Stair and Mr.. Willets were thrown
out. Mrs. Stairs collar bone was bro
ken and she received painful injuries to
her side. Mr.. Willets escaped with
few scratches. The buggy was broken
in several places but held together un-
til they reached home. Mrs. Stair is 60
years old, and it will be some time be.

Oswego special: Four men, charged
with the hold-upof the Frisco passenger,
at Mound Valley, were arrested near In
gals, Okla, by Deputy United States
Marshal jackson and Officer Hicks, of
Coffeyville, and were brought here and
lodged in the Oswego jail. They
gave their names as Geo. and Chas.
McCune, Wallace Curry, and Geo.
Reuhut. They are well-known crooks
and operated gambling devices at
fairs, their last place Of operation being
at the soldiers reunion at Baxter
Springs, where one of the McCunes was
fined $50 for some of his practices. 1t is
alleged that Wallace Curry is the man
supposed to have fred the shot that
killed Messenger Chapman, He made
damaging statements while drunk in
which he confessed his completely in the
affair. When arrested the man disgorged
eleven gold and silver watches, $3.50 in
money, besides four huge revolvers. The
combined rewards of the Frisco and
Wells-Fargo companies is $4,000 for
each man.

Topeka Capital: State Veterinarian
Pritchard on his return from a trip
through the cattle districts of Chase,
Geary and other counties in central Kan
sas, says it has been great year for cat
tie in almost every county in eastern
Kansas. There has been good grass in
almost every section of the state, that is,
of the east two-thirds, and cattle are fat
and healthy. He says the movement to
the markets is now very large. All the
shippers want their cattle off their hands
before cold weather comes. Mr.. Pritch-
ard was with the live stock sanitary COM
mission at Cottonwood Falls, where g.
500 head Of Texas cattle owned by a
Missouri shipper which have been held
in quarantine for several weeks, were re-
leased and shipped to Kansas City.

THIS eternal question, whether the
united States are" or the united
States u.s." has come up again, and
Boston papers are taking a hand in
the discussion. In a letter to the
Transcript the other day, Charles
Dudley Warner wrote: "The United
States Of America Is a nation, and
that is its name. If | were speaking
of 1t as a nation, should say is-no
matter about the grammar. Speak
ing otherwise, l might say: The
United States are distinguished by
great variety of production should
then be thinking Of the several
States, rather than of the political
nation" But, on the other hand, in
a letter to the Journal, Mr.. S. @. B.
Tlllinghast, of Medford, has the fol-
lowing patriotic communication:

Big Barns Not Best.

The burning of Levi P. Morton's
big barn suggests doubt whether
such enormous buildings are advis-
able 1t is impossible to properly
guard them, and a big barn in a
country district when it once gets on
fire generally proves a total loss.
With so much combustible material
as most barns contain it is better to
build more of them and smaller The
insurance companies will not take
risks on these enormous structures to
their full value. They insure up to
the amount that ought to be put into
a barn. 1t perhaps costs less to put
up one immense barn than smaller
ones having the same space, but if
the small barns are not punched to-
gether they are much safer AS the
old adage goes, lit is better to be
sure than to be sorry"

SAYS the Chicago Herald: Among
the list of nuisances with which
downtown Chicago is cursed the
otherwise amiable bicycle enthusiast
is assuming a prominent place. Not
satisfied with the freedom of the
boulevards, where the wheeling is SUI
perb and where he will be in no ones
way, this person has taken to spin
ming along through the business dis
trict where the crowds are thickest
An eXasperating feature of the down
town bicycler is his whistle. APP
preaching a thronged crossing he
sounds a shrill note, and without
slackening speed dashes onward, ex-
pecting people to get out of the way.
This whistling business is going to
get the lordly wheelman into trouble
one of these days. Chicagoans have
long ago resigned the right Of way in
their own streets to cable cars, cabs,
and other deadly vehicles, but when
it comes to being whistled aside like
refractory ours by spindle-shanked
person bestriding a bicycle the public
rebels. A good stout cane thrust be-
tween the spokeS of wheel has a re-
pressing effect on the autocratic
bicycler, and it is to be hoped that
this method will be adopted unless
the nuisance is abated. Only a frag.
ment of our boosted liberties remains
and we can't afford to surrender the
last shred at the behest Of any long,
legged, stoop-shouldered victim Of
Kiphoris bicyclistanum, even if it is
the Worlds Fair year.

Pot Grown Strawberry Plants.

Secdsmen have been for a few
years supplying strawberry plants
grown in pots that can be set out
any time in the summer almost, and
make full crop the next year. The
pot grown plants are grown from
runners, the same as ordinary ones,
only where a runner starts a set, q
flower pot, two inches in diameter,
is sunk into the earth and the set al
lowed to take root in the soil with
which the pot is flied. Plants
grown in this manner can be taken
up and transplanted at any time
during the summer without the least
injury to them, and will not even
wilt down, and would produce al
most as freely as they would if left
to stand where they grew originally.
II one grows his own plants this way
the cost is not great, as the pots can
be got for So a thousand, but seeds

stiff prices for them on account of the

to three times their present size, and

THE New York Sun has been max

Treatment of Rust.

An experiment made in France for
the treatment of rust in wheat is said
to have been successful. On a field
of one.half acre one-half was sprayed
with a solution of four and one-half
pounds of sulphate Of copper and six
and three quarters pounds sulphate
of soda dissolved in two gallons of
water The sprayed portion produced
at the rate of thirty-six bushels per
acre, with clean, white straw, while
the other produced only twenty-five
bushels per acre. with a very rusty
black straw. This would be at the
rate of eighteen pounds of copper
sulphate and twenty-seven pounds of
soda sulphate to eight gallons of
water per acre, and gain of fourteen
bushels of wheat.

Buildinr an Underdrnin.

There is no special art required to
make an underdrain except to see
that the bottom is smooth with no
elevations or depressions and a nearly
uniform descent. The throat should
also be as nearly uniform as possible.
In time OF floods the narrow parts
will hold back the water which will
rise and loosen soil above the chan
mel. This is often the cause of I'M
derdrains failing. The farmer should
himself lay the drain. He is more
interested than any one else can be,
and with water level set in the edge
of a 10 or l2-feet board, with straight
edges, any one can easily detect de-
pressions or ridges which careless
workmen will leave according as the
soil is easy or hard to dig, A drain
we'll laid below the frost line will al
ways do good work if the outlet is
kept open.

Plan Out the Work.

Plan out the seasons work In ad-
vance BY having the work properly
systematized and distributed less
hired labor will be needed and thus
will be In nearly all cases the cost re-
duced. Often a proper use of ma
chinery will help to lessen the cost
but at the same time it should not be
forgotten, that it is often possible to
get TO an extreme and purchase more
machinery than is really profitable.
1t is only by taking every advantage
in doing the work that the lowest
cost is possible, and with a low cost a
profit is often possible where other
wise, with presentprlces, a loss would
be occasioned. The farm and the
work must be studied and the seasons
work planned out to the best possible
advantage.

Support for Bushes and Trees,

Raspberry and other berry bearing
bushes often set and mature more
fruit than the stalks can support, and,
consequently, are so loaded as to rest
upon the ground, injuring the fruit
if not breaking the stalks. The same
trouble occurs in fruit trees with
spreading branches This can be re-
medied by mailing together two strips
of lath within six inches Of one end,
with a single round steel nail, and
clinchIng Just tightly enough that
Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1893-09-28

the Iaths may be opened or closed for
storing away. The manner of using
them is shown in the sketch. If the
surface soil is hard, the lower end of
the lath should be pointed. This ar
rangement, by being kept under
shelter when not in use, will last for
many years, and frequently saves
enough fruit upon one bush to pay
the purchase cost, and preparing an
entire bundle Of laths.
