announced that the candidates were about to
receive in the hallway on the second floor.
For over forty-five minutes steady string
of people found their way up stairs and
grasped the hands Of the two old soldiers To
those who attended the Bryan reception it
was particularly noticed that, perhaps, half
as many again participated in the reception
of the National Democratic candidates than
did in the reception of Mr. Bryan. Union yeter-
ans grasped the hand of Gen. Buckner,
against whom they fought in the war, as
cordially as they did the hand of Cen Palmer

Dixon line had been obliterated One old SOL

formed that gentleman that the last time he
saw him was when he prisoner in the
hands Of the Union soldiers, after the capture
of Fort Donaldson. The recollection of the
event was, OF course, mutual, and the old
man held the generals hand so long that
those in the fore part of the line had to finally
ask him to kindly pass along.
Immediately following the reception ten
dered Gen. Palmer and Gen. Buckner the
parlors of the West hotel were taken pos

similar courtesy was extended to the la
dies of the Palmer-Buckner party. The sec
ond reception had been hastily planned the
evening before, when it was ascertained that
Mrs. Palmer and Mrs. Buckner would be
in Minneapolis, and the details were left
in the hands of the wives of the citizens
who formed the committee that received the
nominees.

present to meet the women, and She did

morning, and was accompanied by Mrs

itself Immediately felt In the groups which
came forward to meet her. She was simply

Mrs. Washburn Gives "a Pleasant Re-
ceptiOn at Fair Oaks.

The reception which Mrs. w. D.
Washburn gave yesterday afternoon at
Fair Oaks, for the Kindergarten as
ISOLATION, and Miss Stella Wood, the
new principal of the training school,
added one more to the chaplet of lau-
rels which crowded the week of social
affairs. The acceptance of invitations
was very large and there was an en-
thuSiasm expressed which the women
OF the kindergarten association choose
to believe augurS well for the enter
prise in which they are so warmly in
terested. While the reception was eX-
tended as a social event. it had some
thing edifying to offer the 800 and more
guests who thronged the drawing
rooms and halls. The special object Of
the association is to incite new interest
in kindergartens with the ultimate aim
in view Of securing place for them in
the public school system. The pres
ence of DR.. G. M. Jordan, superin-
tendent of the schools, among the Wis
itcrs, was recognized with pleasure.
In response to invitation, Prof. d. L.
Kiehle, of the pedagogical department
in the university, was also present and
gave expression to encouraging views
on the kindergarten question. Mrs. T.
G. Winter, president of the associa-
ton, spoke of the petition which the
kindergarten association is bringing be-
fore the board of education in the hope
of effecting an entrance in the public
schools. The association makes prop
ositiOn to the board to take charge Of
a room for one year, provide the trained
Undergraduates, furnish the material,
and assume direction of the kinder
garten, if it will allow the room and
privilege. 1t is the purpose Of the as
ISOLATION to bring the matter to a head
at as early a date as possible, and
hopes to make a start this year. After
the address the company adjourned
from the parlors to the tea rooms,
where Mrs. Washburn, Mrs. w. D.
Washburn Jr., Mrs. J. A. Sanford, Mrs
]. T. Garland, Mrs. Winter, Miss Wash
burn, chairman of the newly organized
auxiliary to the association, Miss Cros-
by and other members of the organiza-
ton, dispensed hospitality A prettily
laid tea table offered refreshment and
for an hour or more there was pleasant
chat and exchange Of social greetings.

WOMEN IN THE COURTS.
Degree of Honor Troubles Are Aired,
But No Decision Rendered.

A little foretaste of what might happen
should the coming woman be allowed to gain
the ascendency sufficiently to have her OPP
crate the government, or a branch of it,
was seen in the court room of Judge jam
ison yesterday, when the case Of Matte
Michon ct al VS.. Ella H. Mentor, grand
chief of honor, of the Degree Of Honor, A.
o. U. W., was called
The court room was filled with women,
who were gathered to hear the contest for
supremacy between the warning factions.
The history Of the case, as developed by the
argument, shows how women fight when
they do fight. Some time ago Ella H. Men
tor, chief of the degree in Minnesota, took
away the charter of Banner Lodge No. %,
because it refused to initiate Mrs. Belle
Crandal AS soon as the charter was taken
other women banded themselves together
with Mrs. CrandaIl and organized a new
Banner lodge, with the former members
To them was given the charter, and the
remainder of the lodge property.
Immediately the former members applied
TO the court for a writ Of mandamus, COM
polling the grand chief to deliver over the
charter and give back the right to exist.
This was heard, and the attorney for the
respondents moved that the order be quashed
for the reason that all remedies at law
had not been exhausted. He contended that
the complainants could replevin the charter
and belongings, and could bring an action
to compel the grand chief to annul her
former order. According to the bylaws and
the constitution, there was also an appeal
from the order Of the grand chief to the
grand lodge, which had not been taken as
yet.
The attorney for the REALTORS went over the
history of the lodges, and claimed that the
grand chief had become angered, and had
vented her spite upon her former subjects
He spoke at considerable length but Judge
Jamison stated that he would hear the full
argument Saturday, on the merits Of the
case, providing he did not grant the motion
of the respondent. He will give his decision
to that Wednesday next.

HOW CHINESE DWARF TREES.
PROCESS by which Wonderful Re-
suits Are Attained i'm Tree Gull

PROCESS by Which Wonderful Re-
suits Are Attained in Tree Gull
st. Louis Republic.
The art of dwarf1ng trees, as COM
monty practiced in both China and
Japan, is, in reality, simple and very
easily understood, being, as it is, based
on one of the commonest principles of
vegetable physiology. Anything which
has tendency to check or retard
the flow Of sap in the trees naturally
prevents the formation Of new wood
This process of retarding wood growth
is done in many different ways. BY
pruning, so as to prevent leaves from
FORMING and giving the tree health and
V1gor; by combining the roots in small
place; by Withholding water; by bend
ing and twisting the branches. and
by half hundred other processes.
which all proceed from the came prin-
clpIe In dWarfing trees the Chinese
and japanese gardeners are careful to
always choose specimens which are
naturally stunted particularly if thew
happen to have branches opposite or
regular, for it must be understood that
a one-sided tree has no value in the eve
OF the artistic Oriental tree dwarfer.
When tree has been chosen, it's main
stem and roots are twisted in a zigzag
form (Which process is intended to
check the flow Of sap. The pots in
which they are planted are narrow and
shallow, so that they hold but a small
quantity of soil compared with the
wants of the plant, and no more water
IS given them than is necessary to
sustain life
Nature generally struggles against
this kind of treatment for a while,
or until her powers seem to be in a
great measure exhausted. When she
finally yields to the powers of art. ere
long the beautiful and curious dwarf
tree, the wonder Of the Orient, is pro-
duced.
