Result of Extensive Improvements.

CONSOLIDATED railroad, famIilariy known
as the "Air Line" has shortened the run

st. Louis and Louisville one hour and twenty
minutes; but the many improvements re-
Gently made in the roadbed, bridges, tun-

facilities this line now gives the travelling
public make it the favorite line between st.
Louis and Louisville. All trains depart
from terminals later and arrive earlier
than competitors. The patrons of the Air
Line can not fail to appreciate the efforts
of the management to furnish accommoda.

Between Evansville and Louisville, where
no competition exists, this being the only
through train service route, the time has
been shortened one-half hour.

How to Build Serviceable Icehouse at

tractive addition to the farm or in
keeping with other attractive build
ings it cannot be built at small cost
shall charge the cost against the eff
ffciency as a preserver of ice. The re-
quirements of an icehouse are that it
will hold sawdust around the ice to
keep the rain off and drain water. The
materials used in it's construction may
be of the cheapest and rudest charac-
ter and yet keep the ice as we'll as if
it cost $50 or 500. A neighbor has an
icehouse erected at very small cost,
and yet his ice is preserved perfectly.

In filling this house the blocks are

the space between them filed with

little greater than the cost of this one.
Refuse boards or slabs can be used for
the sides, mailing them up or down and
putting on board roof. The house

to cut a shallow ditch around the build

Plans for q Monster Bituminous Coal AS

The Pittsburg operators are organizing
more than anything else to control the lake
trade. 1t will be the effort of the PIttsburg
operators to control that trade entirely. Dur
ing the coming shipping season II Is the in
tentlon to sell all tho Pittsburg lake coal
through one company. One Of tho reasons
the Cleveland operators we're so anxious to
get the Plttsburg interests together is that
Pttsburg coal Ia dragged far below the figure
by the lake people and Cleveland buyers.
When the local product went into the Cleve-
lund market under the price cutting regime
the Cleveland buyers would go from one
local operator to another and tell how low
he could get Plttsburg coal. The product
was dcmoralized, and that more than any
thing else was what made the Cleveland men
so anxious.
The Hooking Valley operators are getting
together, aud II Is their intention to sell all
the coal Of the two Ohio valleys through tho
Hockini and Sand Creek companies OF the
valleys. The Hawkins aud other Ohio dis
tricts are organizing, and the coal OF each
district, including the local one, Is to be
made the king OF the different markets
according to demand.
1t is the intention, after all OF the associa-
ton have been formed in the different locali-
ties, to have committees OF each of the as
sociations meet and decide on the products
for tho different shipments and markets;
also to arrange basis, and selling price for
each market This is the scheme now on
foot, and by II the operators hope to make
the business n more harmonious and profit
able one. The Hooking Valley operators al
ready have IN association, and have been

Easter Lilies.

These exquisite flowers have become
popular for winter blooming among
florists, and their culture would be
general among amateur cultivators il
it were known that early planting is
essential to success. Many persons
get the bulbs in November or Decem-
Der, and because the plants do not
come into bloom in January or Febru-
ary, they consider them a failure.
Bear in mind that they should be
started five months before you expect
the plants to bloom. The bulbs start
slowly, and the plants are not rapid
in development, so that bulbs potted
in August will not bloom till January,
while those started in September will
not bloom till in February. Get large
bulbs. Give each lily six-inch or
seven-inch pot, and plant two inches
under the surface, so as tc accommo-
date with sci! the ANNUAL rootlets
which come ont along the stsm just
above the bulb. Firm the soil, water
well and place in dark closet TO root.

Emperor of Germany, in recognition

given to the japanese by German
officers. This order, which was es-

Japan, and consists of single class.
