His Story Taken as tho Truth in the Hob
bry Gaze.
The case of J. G. Try, charged with
receiving stolen goods, is being argued
in Justice Chesney's court this afternoon
by 10y s S. Urmy for the state and Joe
Ensminger for the defence. The testl-
mOny in the case was concluded last
evening.
The prosecution showed in evidence
practically the same facts proven az ainst
the three men who were bound over yes
terday. The stolen property was found
in Ury's back yard, and Try him
self was discovered hiding under
the porch. Try in explanation said
he heard noise in the yard and went
out to see what it was He did not know
the goods were there. When he heard
the policemen coming, not knowing but
that they were some dangerous charac-
tiers, he hid to avoid being seen.
Mr.. Ury's brother, l. N. Try, of FIT.
Scott, who is register of deeds of Bour-
bon county, and very agreeable gentle
man. testified that he was a delegate to
the league convention, and on Friday
night from 8 to II o'clock he was at his
brothers. house, and would undou bted1y
have known if his brother was engaged
in any evil plans at that time.
Mr.. Try of Fit. Scott was taken to the
county attorneys office yesterday by
United States Attorney w. c. Perry, and
introduced to Mr. Stafford. The story OF
Mr.. Try is said to have impressed him
greatly, and to-day at 3 o'clock after a
two days examination he was discharged.

and extended. All literature has been
ransacked for appropriate poems to be
recited and songs to be sung as part of
the ceremonial of Arbor day This year
will see probably 40, 600. 900 trees planted
on the several anniversaries throughout
the Union. Already Nebraska's newly
planted trees would form a dense forest
covering at least 400 square miles.
While the movement was thus spread
far beyond the bounds of Nebraska, the
interest of Nebraskans in Arbor day con-
tinues to be matter of special pride.
Several of those most active in the early
Arbor day movement have adopted en-
blematic devices for their letter heads by
way of commemorating the anniversary.
Secretary Morton, whose home, s'Arbor
Lodge near Nebraska City, is on the
farm he originally settled upon when he
first went to Nebraska. more than 80
years ago, has for his letter heads green
tree standing in a greensward over a
scroll bearing the motto, ''Plant Trees"
Ex-Governor Furnas has for aletter head
a somewhat similar tree and sward, with
Forest Park Place." the name of his
homestead, over the emblem, his own
name beneath. Mr.. Furnas appropriate
ly uses green ink on his typewriter, a
piece of consistency that Secretary Nor
ton has not thought it worth while to
follow

THE FOREST.
How to Give Tt Majestic Appearance and

How to Give Tt Majestic Appearance and
Make 1t a Delight to the Eye.
AS trees grow thickly together in the
forest the lower limbs die and drop If
while they are small. But in cases of
isolated trees the conditions are so di1 r
ent that unless pruned they are often II
shaped and unsightly. Many people
roneouSly imagine that as a tree gre -
the limbs will be raised higher, whereas
from increased weight, they droop AID
become really lower. The common pTac-
tice is to neglect pruning shade trees I'M
til the view is INSTRUCTED by large low
limbs, which are then heroically sawed
off, leaving large knots and scars, which
must ever remain to offend the eye.
These useless branches were grown at
the expense of the main trunk Such
trees can never present the fine and ma
jestic appearance of those which have
nearly uniform diameter from the ground
20 the lowest limbs.
In imitation of natures process in the
forest, all limbs and sprouts should be
removed as soon as possible up to de-
sired point. This can usually be done
with an ordinary knife, or even the
hand. In considering the removal of
sprout the question should be, Will
branch be desirable at that point? If
not, let it not remain to rob desirable
parts. The height at which branching
should be allowed to commence must be
decided by individual taste, which will
also indicate the looping off at other
points of those branches which are i'll
formed and not in harmony with the
general appearance. Dead and decaying
limbs should be promptly removed.-H.

QUIET IN COKE REGIONS.

Advisability of Declaring Strike off Be
ing COnsid-red-Extra Guards Duty.
UNIoNTowN, Pa, April 14-Every-
thing is quiet in the coke region today.
The plants are generally running and
there has been no demonstration by the
strikers An extra force of guards is on
duty for the protection of the men at
work and no attention will be paid here
after to the parading of the strikers.
The advisability of declaring the strike
off is being strenuously considered by
the leaders They realize that it cannot
be pushed without violence, which is
possible in the face of the great mum Der
of men willing to work and the large
force of deputies on guard. The men
are desperate.

land, France, Germany and Scotland
have followed. The work of tree plant
ing, inspired by the existence of Arbor
day, is simply wonderful
The literature of Arbor day through
out the world has grown almost into a
library. Pamphlets, newspaper articles,
speeches and lectures upon the subject
have been published by hundreds. Ex-
perts have studied the arboreal needs of
many states, and minute instructions as
to the best trees to plant, methods of
planting and the best time to plant have
been issued in nearly every state and
territory.
The friends of tree planting in Nebras-
ka took the trouble five years ago to COM
memorate the institution of Arbor DAY
by issuing a bound volume giving the
history of the movement up to that time
An interesting portrait of Mr.. Morton
forms the frontispiece of the work, and
to him the book is dedicated. James
Russell Lowell, George William Curtis,
George H. Boxer. John Boyle O'Reilly,
John Burroughs, Edward Everett Hale
and Thomas f. Bayard contributed to
the volume of letters in praise Of Arbor
day, and Edith M. Thomas and Edmund
Clarence Stedman wrote poems for the
work. Up to that time Nebraska had
planted more than $50, 600, 600 trees, and
the aggregate planted throughout the
United States had reached a number that
battles the imagination.
Most of the states and territories now
celebrate Arbor day in April. In some
parts of the country this is too early in

COOKING BY STEAM.

some Cases More Nutritious.
Some claim that food cooked by
steam is more nutritious and whole
some than cooked in any other man
ner- While not agreeing exactly with
this statement, 1 do think that many
dishes are more palatable when cooked
by steam In the steam cooker, which
/ have tried and found satisfactory,
there is a perforated disk which fits
into the kettle in three different posi-
tions; this divides the space into g
below, 4 below, or =. below the disk,
according to its position There is also
an extension tin top, much like an or
binary steamer, to be used when cook
ing large quantities or many kinds at
once There is a pipe down one side
of the kettle, through which the super
fluous steam is discharged into the
stove. No odor from the cooking food
escapes into the room, for the joint be-
tween the kettle and cover is sealed
with water.
The steamer is large enough for
turkey, if the bottom of the tin extern
sion is removed. which can be done. For
an average family potatoes and a pud-
ding may be cooked in the kettle with
out the tin extension. Dumplings or
a cottage pudding will cook in twenty
minutes if the water in the lower COM
partment is boiling when they are
placed in it. Very rich buildings con-
tanning suet, etc, require more time.
Potatoes will cook in thirty minutes,
and are always nice and meaty- Bread
and raised biscuit are always nice
when cooked by steam, there being alb
solutely no crust at all, but bread
thus cooked should be eaten warm, as
it does not keep moist and tender like
that baked in the ordinary way. Rice,
oatmeal and the like are cooked to
perfection by steam. YOu do not have
to stir them to keep them from burn
ing, and every kernel is cooked tender
without losing its shape. The many
things that can be cooked in steam
cooker, from beef tea to first pre-
MUM canned fruit, cannot be enumer-
ated here; hut persons procuring
steam cooker, l am sure, will pro-
nounce it a household convenience"
