WHY DOCTORS!
DR.. Carnes Again in Trouble Mayors
Matinee-News From the
Police Court

DIR. U. M. Carnes, the well known
horseman who has an office in the Davis
block, corner Of South Cleveland avenue
and Eighth streets, and Miss Cissne,
dressmaker, were arrested Sunday night
for disorderly conduct 1t seems that on
Decoration day Miss Cissne rented rooms
at 64 South Cleveland avenue, informing
the people at the place that she was q
dressmaker
Last night some of the occupants at the
house saw DIR. Carnes enter her apart
ments, and at once made complaint at
police headquarters. Officer George
Jacobs responded and when he knocked at
the door was refused admittance The
officer broke in the door and found things
i'm a state of confusion.
DIR. Carnes was discovered in closet,
with most of his clothes in his arms.
Both were placed under arrest and taken
to police headquarters, where gold watch
was put up for their appearance on Mon
day morning The couple registered as
Clarence James and Maggie Casper.
W. A. Hoberdier, W W. Kinehan and
g. B. Rousch, who room at Ga South
Cleveland avenue were present when the
arrests were made and in fact complained
at police headquarters about the couple.
There was quite scene when Officer
Jacobs put in an appearance, and every
possible effort was afterwards made to
keep the affair quiet

THE HARDWARE TRADE.

NJ. HELLER, Swiss army officer, has
patented a new bullet the penetrating
qualities of which are said to be much
greater and consequently more deadly
than used In the celebrated Mauser or
Lebel rifles.
HARDwAREMEN evidently fourished
centuries ago as they do now. In a
buried city that is being excavated at
Santiago, Amattan, Central America a
large quantity of knives, swords, scis.

ALUMINIUM has been introduced into

Third regiment of infantry having used
it in the manufacture Of drums. 1t is said

AN ATTRACTIVE WINDOW BOX.

of sod, grass side down, to keep the soil
from washing through, is good foun-
dation. A few holes bored in each end
near the bottom are also essential, and
the soil should be rich, with mulch Of
some sort on top.
Scarlet howered geraniums are the
most snowy plants for these window
boxes, and an edging Of periwinkle vine
and little blue lobelia set in front are
very effective. Taste must be used in the
combination of flowers, however; other
wise the window garden will be defect
instead of an ornament to the street.
An effective but inexpensive window
box recently sketched for The Ladies'
Journal was plain box painted hem
lock dark brown in color, with split or
half round pieces of spruce or cedar
nailed over it in a pretty open design.
In some of the New England towns the
window box is part of the house. Here
it does not rest ON the window sill, but
is set little way below it and within
easy reach A lattice, made of pointed
strips Of wood, ornaments it in front,
and this is painted to match the house,
which is generally Of reddish brown
or dark mastic.

NIMISHILLEN TEACHERS.
A Delightful Day at Fairmount Home
Able Addresses-Report of
the Meeting,

If there is one thing that Nimishillen
township is proud of it is her schools.
And the pride is justiflable, as the town
ship has about as good schools as can be
found in all Ohio. The people take
great interest in school affairs and as a
result there is much healthy rivalry
among teachers and school districts.
One of the unique features of the town
ship is an association Of the schools, and
on Friday last this association held
meeting at the Paramount Children's
home. The rivalry between the schools
was here exhibited; each school had
large wagon, gayly decorated in the
national cOlors and each tried to outdo the
other. The wagons formed near Maxine
and the procession moved TO the Fair
mourt Home. 1t was beautiful and
impressive sight-the 400 wagons with
their loads of happy human freight.
Supt. SOuthwOrth, of the Home, made
an address of welcome and extended to
| the assembly the cOurtesies of the place.
The Linden Hall school, Mr. VIM.
Shaffer, teacher then presented to the
Home a beautiful floral piece that had
been expressly preparted for the occasion.
Some very excellent addresses were
made to the association. Atlee Pomerene
and Charles Krichbaum, of this city were
on the program and each made eloquent
and interesting talks.
Squire Oswald made an interesting ad-
dress, told how schools We're conducted 40
years ago and contrasted them with the
schools of today.
+. e. Sluss, of Osnabrg, also made
good address.
The children of the Fairmount Home
took great interest in the festivities and
favored the teachers with several excel
lent musical selections.
H. H. V. Summers, the president OF the
township association acted was president
of the meeting and gave very general sat
iasfaction. J. L. Coy, Of Louisville, con-
Quoted the music; the songs We're from
books used exclusively by the Nimishillen

Growing Tomatoes by the Acre.

There are several ways of growing to-
matoes, but plan which is liked by
many and especially when not more
than an acre is planted, is as follows,
says The New England Homestead;
After blowing the soil thoroughly and
then narrowing in a half or whole ton
Of some good fertilizer, check off the
land five by five feet, and at each inter
section Of the burrows drive down q
stout stake 1S inches in the soil, leaving
three feet above. In triangle about
this stake set three plants, IL or 10 inch
es from the stake. Before the plants
fall over encircle them and stake with q
broad strong band, drawing the plants
in just little. If the band is placed
about 10 inches from the ground it will
be sufficient to hold up the fruit from
the ground, but if the vines grow very
large a second band may be put on later,
but one is usually enough. Each hill
should yield, at the very lowest, if the
land is good, peck of tomatoes. AT five
by five feet there will be 1,742 stakes OF
hills, and with three plants to the hill
it will require 5,226 plants per acre II
preferred, two plants may be set to the
stake, and the hills reduced to a dis.
tance of five by four feet, using 4,85e
plants per acre.

Tho Best Time to Prnne.

The old saw which said "the best
time to prune is when the knife is
sharp" was a bit of epigrammatic wis
dom which the fruit grower would do
well to bear in mind, says the New Eng
land Homestead, for it teaches two i'm
portant lessons: First, that the pruning
should always be done with knife and
a sharp one, and that it may be done, if
previous pruning has been wisely man
aged, at any time of the year. He who
begins with his young trees will never
find it necessary to use the ak or saw,
unless in the event of accidents, or Of
the partial destruction of large limbs by
bhghts or insects. AS general rule, it
is wise to prune about the time the buds
are breaking and the growth is most ac-
tive. This is especially the case where
it becomes necessary to remove larger
limbs than can be cut with the knife.
The wounds thus made will, if the prun-
ing is done at the beginning of the sea-
son, most rapidly heal over. These re-
marks are intended for the larger fruits,
such as apple, pear, peach and plum.

Stacking the Hay Crop.

Farmers who lack barn space are com
PEELED to stack or rick portion of their
hay crop. An Ohio Farmer correspond,
ent, who prefers stacking to ricking,
says: AS rule, stacks are only about
half us large as ricks and consequently
can be built in about half the time
This is quite an important point, espe.

Catchy" A stack with ten foot bot
tom, and requiring only two or three
loads of hay for its construction, can be
put up in half day by two men, and
when the force is strong enough to run
two wagons, in much less time.
The farmer quoted thinks that hay
saves better in stack then in a rick in
wet season, because the stalks or stems,
especially Of the extreme top Of the
stack, all slope downward like the stalks
of cap sheaf Of wheat. But this can
not be said of the stalks or stems of hay

HAULED AWAY THE GRAVE STONE.

Pike township tongues are wagging at a live
ly clip these days discussing a rather unusual
event that took place down there on Decora-
tion day. The principals in the case are Philip
Haubert, the Canton tombstone man, and Will
tam Lichtenwalter, well.to-do Pike town
ship farmer.
As the story goes Lichtenwalter had en-
gagged Haubert to furnish stones and do some
lettering over the grave Of the late lamented
Squire Yant. Haubert was to get $50 for the
job and they were particular that it be COM
pleted by Decoration day, Accordingly the
head stone and foot mark were placed In posi-
ton and Charles Haubert put in two days in
the hot sun lettering the monument. Then
he asked for some money. But he received
none and was told they would come up and
SETTLE
Now Philip began TO want his cash and he
went over himself He found Lichtenwalter
had gone fishing and there was only $5 in the
house. He agreed to wait for the balance If he
could have the five, but he did not get that.
Then Philip determined to try radical I leas-
ures. He was not in a condition of mind al
together bland and he proceeded to state in his
most expressive and oratorical tone of voice
that unless that S. was forthcoming he would
go up to the grave yard and haul his tomb
stone back to town. He failed to get the cash
and forthwith went back, took the stones from
the grave and they now stand in his shop in
this city. The one with the lettering was left
Ns the letters were not all completed.
The stones were removed on Decoration day
when there were lots of people around and Of
course Il caused lots of talk.
