Representative Chinn, of Lewis,
introduced bill making any person
ineligible to hold a county Office a
third term. There are many officials
throughout the state who would be
affected by such law, and who can
not see any merit in it. An effort
will be made, it is said, to amend the
act 80 as to make it apply to all
elective officers except members of
the legislature.

SUED A PREACHER.
Theodore Stegner, of Kansas City.
president of the st egner Investment
company brought suit at Boonville,
against Rev. B. II. Leesman for $50,
600 dam ages for defamation of char
acter.
Mr.. Leesman is a pastor of the
Lutheran church at Boonville, and
Stegner charges that the damages
was done by letter which Pastor
Leesman wrote to E. G.. Milbury, of
New York, in which Leesman stated
that Stegner's business principles
were based on false pretenses and
that deceP.ion and fraud was prac
ticeS by him. Stegner was born and
reared at Boonville where he learned
the cooper trade. He then went to
Kansas City in 1885 and operated
largely there during the estate boom.
TRUMBULL WRITES a PLATFORM.

the government from the control
of monopolists and concentrated
wealth." condemning the use OF
federal troops sin aiding monopo-
lists in the oppression of their en-
ployes," demanding "the enactment
of laws limiting the amount of pro-
perty to be acquired by devise or
Inheritance" denouncing free coin

Banana Shrub, Tea Olive and Syringa.
While. happily, our editor himself is TAX
ing more space in these columns, testing
upon his surety, just now, shrubs and vines
of value here, we venture either the fore
stalling him or the receiving his endorse
ment as to the banana shrub, and the wild
or the tea olive, whichever designation be-
longs to our neighbours beautiful specimen.
To us, these both are new with this new
year.
The hot months have shown us our need
of shrubs in the benefit they afford as shade
for feebler plants; the disastrous cold
proved how important in garden as pro-
lection against frost are such as hold leaf
age continuously. Whether as ornament
or screen, shrubs have their peculiar place
in all landscape as certainly as do trees
with the merit over the latter of quicker
growth, and perhaps greater variety of at
tractive bloom.
Without its pale, creamy (spring) bios
soms-of banana fragrance when first
opened-the banana shrub would be ad
mirable for its dense yet graceful evergreen
foliage shaded, like that of the large mag
nolia, from the lightest olive to deepest,
waxen green the leaves velvety brown IN
derneath, as are the twigs of new wood.
The flower, single row of small thick
petals, is very sensitive. falling almost
touch; our recollection is that we once saw
the loose, fresh petals on sale in Jackson
vile, as perfume. Following more or less
freely the flowers, are curious little grape
like clusters of seed, small brilliant red
beans, disclosed as their green covers burst
at maturity. This shrub attains great size,
and has, as does the olive, that especial
charm of folding and futing of its leaves,
affording richly those lights and shades
which in art we dwell upon.
The olive also reaches large proportions;
it has thinner foliage, doubly beautiful
when some parts wear autumn tints. It's
twigs are patterns of grace. its delicate
racemes of smallest white flowers befit

Your St. Petersburg correspondent in
quires' if Dahlias have ever been success
fully reared in Florida? had very fine
clump of Dahlias one autumn. They were
dark red, very large and fine, fully as
handsome as those grown in the North.
We planted some tubers on the shady
side of the house, the soil was sand, loan
and muck mixed, we watered it we'll, and
kept the stalks neatly tied to stakes. They
thrived wonderfully through the summer,
and produced several fine blossoms. After
the tops died down we took up the tubers,
put them with some dry sand in paper
bag, tied up, and hung them up on a nail
under the piazza ceiling where the air
could strike them. "AIDA "

The Chinese Way of Raising China Lily

mere are So many theories given out
every day about the way of raising China
Lilies that I feel impelled to give the
Chinese way, which is undoubtedly the
right way, so that prospective growers may
know just how to get the best results.
The Lien Chu, or Sacred Lily of China,
is so beautiful, so horescent. so fragrant,
and withal so easy of culture. that it ought
to be in every home to enliven the wintry
days. The Lien Chu is species of Mar
cissus, and comes in white and yellow, and
in both single and double sorts but the
Chinese who import them never seem to
know which sort they have; therefore one
must take them and let blooming time tell
what they are
The bulbs imported by the Chinese are
of immense size, and are really cluster
of bulbs, consisting of one large bulb in
the center with two, or three. or even
pearance the chestnuts in an open burr.
These bulbs are raised in some manner that
reserves all the strength of the bulb for the
coming bloom. Without any exception the
Chinese Lily is the finest bulb ever offered
for forcing.
| When the bulb comes it is covered with
many layers of thin, brown skin; this
should all be removed, as well as all the
old. dry roots, carefully picking away all
the dry, dead matter that can be taken off
without hurting the fresh meat of the bulb,
or disturbing the Junction of the bulbs
which should be left firmly joined together
Do not cut the bulb in any way. All this
extraneous matter removed the bulb is
ready for setting.
deep is the proper thing to grow them in,
for the roots grow seven or eight inches
right down. and need plenty of room,
which they cannot get in shallow dish.
Either narrow jar or a pitcher is good
for the purpose. Arrange rocks in the
dish, leaving all the space between them
that is possible and at the same time have
them form firm mass; to this end, too
small ones should be avoided. At the top
of the dish arrange smaller ones so as to
form place where the bulb may set firmly,
the bottom of it being about an inch below
the top of the dish. Pour water into the
dish until it almost, but not quite, reaches
the bottom of the bulb. and set the dish in
sunny window.
For treatment it is only necessary to set
the dish under the cold water faucet every
morning, turn on gentle stream Of water,
taking care that it does not run onto the
Lily, and let the water run long enough to
completely drive out all the old. When
this is done take the dish back to the win
dow until the next morning. Do not at
tempt to pour off the water as that would
disarrange the rocks and disturb the bulb;
and do not try tepid water, imagining the
cold water too heroic, for the cold water is
what it likes.
Roots will begin to grow at once, and
the tops very soon after setting, and grow
astonishingly fast; in month the Lily will
begin to bloom. Sometimes as many as
sixteen or eighteen blooms appear upon
one stalk; and l have known an imported
