BYRON PHELPS


The wisdom Of affording plenty of time
in which to discuss tho merits OF candi-
dates before finally deciding upon them
was shown most conspicuousiy yesterday
by the good feeling displayed in the Re-
publican city convention. Giancing over
the list of delegates, nobody familiar with
municipal affairs can fail to recognize the
fact that they comprise every station In
life, every calling In business and every
phase of the Republican party. Men
who rarely appear at ward meetings, men
who are notoriousiy scrupulous in their
criticism of public officials were found
working aud voting side by side with Re
publicans who are always content with q
party ticket. There was at no time sign
of friction. although there was intense
earnestness on the part of the friends OF
rival candidates. A new figure In local
politics was Hon. Fremont Cole,
who. although prior to coming 10
Seattle had been swics elected TO
the New York legislature, Of which he
vas speaker. has taken little part in public
affairs. He proved an admirable presid-
ing officer. displaying Grmness. tact and
eloquence. He was ably supported in the
duties of the chair by Harry Carroll. the
secretary, and Bcrman Schoenfeld, J. H.
owen and Z. w. Mudgett. the assistant
secretaries.
1t is remarkable as showing both good
feeling and interest, that with 2ol dele
gates from nine wards, there was not one
contest. and only four proxies. So tar a.
the organization was concerned there
has rarely been q convention so free from
pickering and jealousy.
There were three candidates for mayor,
either OF whom would have made a good
official. and it is no disparagement of
either Of those who failed of election that
the choice fell on Il, ron Phelps. Mr..
Phelps has had q remarkable career a. a
public official and singuiariy unblsm-
ished reputation in private life. The
enthusiasm with which tho gallant
cavalryrnan wss received was not due to
his record honorable as that was

as a man and a peaeeabIe citizen. With
the exception of the vote OF the Eighth,
in which Hon. L. b. Andrews lives, and
that Of the Second, which is tho home Of
senator ]. NJ Frink, Mr. Phelps received
support from every ward. and bis
selection leaves no regret in any
part Of the city that another
sas not chosen. When nominated he
was a. work st his desk in the county
treasnrer's Office. He has taken no part

most Immediately. Where the patient
is in good health, in four cases out Of
five the operation for removing the
appendix is successful. There is a
great difference In the length Of time
taken by surgeons to perform this, or,
in fact, any delicate operation. There
is one surgeon in the city who has per-
formed the operation in eighteen min
ates, which included the time from the
moment the patient was brought in On
the operating table until he was ready
to be taken out. This is half the time
that it requires the majority of skillful
rec to do 1t. OF course, speed is
not everything.
"The appendicitis fad, as the craze
among rich people to have their vermi-
form appendices removed is called, still
continues undated, and there are few
surgeons of prominence now who are
familiar with the performance of the
operation. A story is told of a doctor
who is constantly ordering the removal
of the vermiform appendix for patients.
He was called to see a gentleman one
evening who had been rather seriously
injured. The gentleman, when he rec.
ognized the doctor, said:
$50, 1t is you then I must have ap-
pendicitis!'
Doctors who have allowed the ap-
pendicitis fad to carry them'away have
performed the operation upon a great
many people whose vermiform appen-
dices were in good condition, and in
some cases patients having weak on
situations have died because Of the
needless slit in their abdomens. l am
very glad to explode that story about
the grape seeds and other seeds, espe-
cially as the grape season is just com
ing on. People who have heard about
appendicitis have given up the luxury
of small fruit in fear Of appendicitis,
and some of the extremely sensitive
ones have ever been constantly worried
lest some seed that they had swallowed
in the past might give them this dis
ease, which is among the rarest Of dis
eases, anyway."-N. Y. World.

AZ You Want a Good One Begin to Pre-.

Now is the time to prepare for next
springs garden. If you haul out the
manure about the barnyard, clean out
tne cow stalls and horse. stables and
scatter upon the garden and turnip
patches, and then plow under, you will
not need to make an expensive compost

you tried green soiling as a
means OF improving the fertility of the
son' We mean by planting peas in
summer or early fall and turning
under the green crop just before
the first killing frost, the lat
ter part of October. This plan
puts new life into the soil for next
years gardening. besides, the shading
during the dry-fall months consumes
the heterogeneous clements that are in
the SOIL, and SO maintains a supply Of
some OF the most important integers
q a constitute the food supply of both
trees and plants.
Does the orchard need fertiliztprs?
That depends upon several c~ontifgen-
cles-the age Of the trees, the timff the
land has been in cultivation ands the
natural fertility of the soil. Tho or.

ing. But when the trees come into full
bearing and make heavy drafts upon
the earth to mature their crors
the time will come when it will
be necessary to fertilize. else the
trees will begin to s~tarve, the fruit
will become smaller and of inferior
quality, and so be worthless for mar
ket or home consumption. We have
observed such results time and again
in the past thirty years, SO we can put
it down as an axiom that wen the best
orchard lands will soon or late fail if
attention is no given to judicious feed
ing. Those trees planted on lands
that have been cropped in corn and
cotton till they have begun to fail will
need fertilizing from the first. What
fertilizers to use upon the orchard is
an important question, well deserving
earnest, intelligent study, conjoined
with scientific experiments, worthy,
we think, to be undertaken by our ex-
pertinent stations. We hope Mr.. Price.

may find time to inaugurate a series Of
experiments that will help to solve the
