The Shakespearean Lectures.

Prof. j. G. Freeman, of the state
university, opened course of six lee
lures on Shakespeare Saturday even
ing at the high school, there being a
gOod-sized audience present. The pro-
fessOr is an interesting speaker, well
able to handle the chosen subject He
has gained considerable notoriety by
his strong opposition to the theory that
Lord Bacon is the real producer of the
Shakespearean writings, and has en-
gagged In public debates on this point
with Ignatius Donnelly. He enters
into his theme, therefore, with an ear
nestness and knowledge that all in the
least interested in English litera-
ture who follow him cannot fail to pro-
fit by. The initial lecture treated of
Shakespeare as man and poet. Prof.
Freeman delineated the life of the
great HHerdteNr as facts and tradition
best point it out, and although periods
in his life are somewhat hazy the pro-
fessor thought them no more SO than
was the case with innumerable other
great men. Opinions of Shakespeare
by leading literary men of his time
and afterward were universal in es-
teeming and lauding him. He was
considered one of the greatest wonders
of the worlds men of letters, and
worthy of place IN the same category
with Chaucer, Spencer, Beaumont, etc.
The second lecture will be given next
Saturday evening at 1880, when Gro
mantle Comedy--A Midsum mer Nights
Dream" will be treated, the order hav-
ing been slightly changed from that
published.

The fire department responded to
an alarm of fire from 1O6 Division
street, the residence of Mrs. Louise

originated from some hot ashes which
were carelessly thrown near the house.
1t was put out by the neighbors before
the fire boys arrived on the scene. with
slight loss.
An incipient fire in bedroom in
Heyn's bakery building, North Second

started by one of the bakers going to
bed smoking cigar.
Sunday forenoon the companies were
again called out, an alarm being sent in
from Jossi & Habhegger's cold storage
on North First street. The alarm was
caused by portion of the BUILDING

Harvesting and Nintering Vegetables.

The best storage place for all roots,
potatoes included, undoubtedly is a
regular root cellar in the basement of
a barn. A separate root or potato eel
lar, such as a dugout in hillside, also
makes very good place for beets, car
rots, ETC., to be fed out during winter
and spring.
Select dry spot. or one for which
drainage can easily be provided, and
dig an excavation about one foot or
eighteen inches deep, six feet wide and
of the length required to hold the
roots to be wintered over. Place the
roots in a conical heap; cover with six,
eight, ten or twelve inches of straw,
according to the severity of the win
tiers in the particular locality, and
with a foot of soil upon the straw.
A whisk of straw or a section of COM
mon tile drain, reaching from the
straw covering through the soil to the
outside, should be adjusted in the CEN
ter of every eight or ten foot section to
provide the. required ventilation. If
such pit is opened before the cold
weather has entirely passed, the roots
remaining In it need careful covering
to guard against freezing.
Onions require to be kept in a cool
and dry place, but free from frost.
There is probably no better way to
keep them than the one usually adopt
ed OF storing them in the barn. A lay
er OF hay is spread On the barn floor of
sufficient thickness to guard against
frost from cracks below-a layer foot
thick when pressed down would be a
safe one. The onions are spread out
over the hay and then covered with a
10 Of box 90,
the onions are pulled, which should be
in dry time, they should be allowed
to lie on the ground two or three days
to artially dry off. They can be
spread out in any dry, cool place
where the temperature is as low as
forty degrees all winter. Neither on
ions nor potatoes should be kept very
warm, or they will begin to sprout ann
waste in vitality before spring.
The best method used for wintering
cabbage is the following: A week or so
before freezing the garden, prepare for
storing your cabbage for winter sup
ply. Select piece of ground with
natural drainage. If you are obliged
to use ground imperfectly drained,
artificial means must be resorted to to
keep away the water. Open burrows
with double pillow, returning in each
furrow with! the pillow to scoop out all
loose earth left; place the cabbage in
the burrows heads down and roots up
at an angle of forty-five degrees. Pack
in tightly, keeping leaves close about
the head. Throw two burrows on each
side of the row and finish up any in.

will be, as rule, sufficient. Large

straw or leaves on the cabbage as a
protection. Cabbage not fully ripe
