Yesterday was occupied entirely in the
examination OF witnesses for the con-
testants, broken occasionally by a wordy
agrument betwee Dthe attorneys as To the
OF asking question.
Something OF n sensation was caused
when Mr.. w. II. Palmer, the new sheriff
OF the county ele":ei on the -eform ticket,
acknowledged that he had gone TO Alex

Three Rest Trees.

The most ornamental tree is the dog.
wood. It Is glorious bloomer In early
spring. Its foliage is plumelike and
beautiful. It's autumnal coloring Is bril-
liant and varied, and its late red berries
supply its fourth phase Of beauty. The
best all round tree is the sugar maple
Its form is graceful, its foliage fine, its
autumnal coloring the richest Of all
trees and its sap delightful.
But the monarch of the forest ID the
white oak. It grows slowly, but stur-
dily. There are oaks in this country
which were here when Columbus land
cd, and they will be here thousand
years after we are all dead Little at IN
tion has been paid as yet in this country
to making the landscape beautiful With
avenues of trees. No man could leave o
finer or more enduring monument be-
hind him than several avenues OF our
magnificent forest trees. Double rows
OF them Of alternating kinds make the
most effective. Oaks, evergreens and
naples are some Of the varieties that
may be made to alternate beautifully.
A double row Of evergreens and tae
great, luxuriant catalpas, with their
gorgeous blossoms. constitutes famous
avenue at the entrance to stately home
in southern Ohio.
But the oak is the grandest of all. 1t
can Withstand tree pests, storms and
age better than any other tree. It's aY-
erage life is !. 400 years. II we poor
mortals could have the years. strength
and serenity of the oak, then life would
