Yesterday morning Officer Johnson
found a trunk secreted on the river
bank, near the old Cataract mill. 1t had
been pried open with file and its con-
tents were scattered around in the brush.
The trunk was taken to the police sta
tion and shortly afterward Prof. William
Young, theatrical man, who recently
arrived here. called and claimed it. 1t
had been stolen from the passenger de-
pot the day before, probably by hoboes.
Their prize evidently proved a disap
pointment to them, for the trunk con-
tanned little of value except theatrical
properties, and none of these were taken.
The only thing missed by the owner
was pair Of low cut Oxford tic shoes.

SCENE OF Ruin
A View of Fated Cripple Creek After

THOUSANDS ARE HOMELESS
Losses WillkFOot Up Over a Million
and a Half-lnsurance Half
a Million.

CRIPPLE CREEK, April 3O.-In gen.
eral way the ground covered within the
fire limits does not present to view even
a decent ruin. The fire swept everything
before it just as if flaming broom had
passed over the district. AS seen from
he boundary lines the fire moved in
generally northerly direction. spreading
out both eastward and westward under
the impulse of terrific wind. In the
business portion Of the camp the Ma
sonic temple, the postoffice, and few
other scattering business structures re-
main. AS the day advanced thousands
of people who had sought some sort of
shelter IN the neighboring district came
docking back to the scene Of their losses
Women and children came with hus
bands and fathers, but in most instances
we're turned back. The smoldering
heaps of debris we're constantly breaking
into flames, famed by the rising wind.
Twenty acres of ashes are not very easy
to handle when the wind gets into them,
Every available foot of hose was put into
use again this morning to flood these
heaps Of ruins. On all the foothills reach
ing down to the very fire lines stand
homeless people awaiting news. Most
of them will leave town if they can.
The people are not unruly at all. Dur
ing the night officers and the local mill
tary patrolled the streets and arrested
all who could not give strict account
of themselves, thus Kidding the town of
the lawless element. The Jail was full
by midnight, and after that box cars at
the Midland depot were improyised into
prisons. The morning train brought
Sergeant Dunnington and squad of
charge of police affairs. Mayor Steele
sud to an Associated Press Representa-
tive today that Cripple Creek was in
sore need, and any help protfered by out
aide towns will be accepted with celebrity
The thing most needed at present ie
sleoping quarters. Last night men staid
awake and women and children were
huddled into what shelter was left.
Mayor Doyle, of Victor, has employed
two fire wardens for every business block
in that city, rs it has been rumored that
fire bugs are after that town as well as
Cripple Creek. A man was caught late
in the afternoon, in the very act of firing
the rear Of the Newell Hardware com
pany's store, iio is in jail.
The total loss by yesterdays fires are
estimated at 5l,100,000. Insurance will
probably foot up between 100000 and
55O0,000. The heaviest losers are as fol

Science and FARMING.

1t has been by the most rigid and
persistent application of scientific
principles that we have come into pos
session of the improved breeds of cat
tle' horses, sheep. hogs. and poultry,
whose well-developed and symmetrical
forms make them the objects of ad-
m1rauon at our agricultural fairs If
a farmer, impressed with the vast su-
periority of these animals as COMPARED
with the scrubs he has been raising,
Duys pair and takes them home, but
Ignorant of those scientific or physio-
logical laws, attention to which orig
inally secured the improvement. in the
neglect of these laws he soon finds a.
marked deterioration in the progeny of
his improved stock. In his disappoint-
ment at the result of the investment
he pronounces it humbug and fail
ure, whereas the failure is attributable
directly to his ignorance. Whatever
sins of omission or of commission ae-
ricultural societies may have laid to
their charge, they have at all events
accomplished a very important work
In awakening more general interest
in agricultural and other productive
industries. In bringing before the eyes
Of the community the best results at
tanned in the improvement of all kinds
of domestic animals, fruits and cereals,
also the progress in the mechanic arts
as applied to farming implements, they
have enlisted the sympathy of men and
women of intelligence and thought and
raised labor to high position of honor
md respectability.-R. G. Baird.

being matured at different times. It is
also insured, in many cases, by me-
chanical eontrivances of wonderful
beauty, preventing the impregnation of
the flowers by their own pollen. Again,
there is class in which the ovule abb
soluteiy refuse to be fertilized by pollen
from the same plant, but can be fer
tilted by pollen from any other indi-
vidual of the same species. There are
also very many species which are par
TALLY sterile with their own pollen.
Lastly, there is a class in which the
flowers present no apparent obstacle
of any kind to self-fertilization; never
theless, these plants are frequently in
tercrossed, owing to the prepotency of
pollen from another individual or vari-
ETY. over the plants own pollen. There
are, however, some cases which seem
especially contrived for self-fertiliza-
ton. The number is much smaller
than would be supposed by hasty OBJ
servation.

Moisture and MulchinR.

The best and most practical way t.
preserve this moisture and place it just
where it is most available for plant
use is by frequent shallow cultivation,
forming fine earth mulch. This ap-
plies to gardens and all hoed crops.
Where soil cannot all be cultivated as
with small fruits then use manure,
leaves, straw, clover, marsh hay, or any
material to shade the ground and re-
tard evaporation. With coarse mulch
close around fruit plants, and a fine
earth mulch between the rows. large
crops may be carried safely through
severe drouths. Commence at once and
continue until products are NATURE

Propagation from Cuttings.

Success in roofing cuttings will, in
general, be in proportion to our skill
in preventing the cutting feeling it's re-
moval from the parent plant. Hence,
other things being equal, well-ripened
shoots of deciduous plants are more
easily rooted than those in a less ma
ture condition, though if proper condi-
tons were at hand the latter would
root the soonest. Suppose you have a
nice growing plant in your window
early in May, and it has many young
shoots on it two or three inches long,
slip them of close to the stem, cut off
few of the lower leaves and insert in
a pot of sand, expose them to the sun
and air in your window and most likely
your labor will be in vain; but cover
the pot with a piece of glass, to keep
the atmosphere about them moist, and
shade from sunshine until they can
bear 1t without whiting, and you will
have rooted plants in as many days as
you would have in weeks from decid-
uous cuttings. In general it is best
to have a cutting cut off at a bud, as
the vital forces are stronger there and
there is less danger of their decaying
from extra absorption of water. Sand
as medium in which to root cuttings
is preferable to anything else, because
it prevents too much water collecting
about the base of the cutting, on the
one hand and on the other the entrance
Of too much air to dry it up. Other
methods of propagation are chiefly the
separating of tuberous and dubious
plants and the dividing of the roots of
herbaceous plants.-J. H. Gardner.

Watch the Bees.

We have come to the time when bees
need close attention; for little ne
glect new may result in an entire fail
IRE to secure any surplus honey. even
though the season prove a favorable
one, says writer in Journal of Agri-
culture. 1 have said in these columns
several times that bees do not need
much attention, but what they do need
should be given at the proper time. or
else they will prove to be very I'M
profitable property. Swarming is ma
lures method of multiplying the hon.
ey bee, and it is just as natural for
them to swarm when the conditions
are right, as it is for them to eat.
Some have talked, dreamed, and writ
ten about non-swarming races of bees,
but doubt very much if we ever come
any nearer having them than we do
now. Neither do l think they are to
be desired. 1t is the swarming bees
that are generally the honey gatherers.
But" says one. Il thought that the
up-to-date bee-keeper did not let his
bees swarm" Well, that depends! If
| want honey, let them swarm. If |
wanted more bees, then l would di-
vide them. AS it is much easier to Sc
cure bees than honey, l do but very
little dividing, and let nature have her
own way. The first thing to be looked
after in order to control swarming, for
this is what we want to do and not
to prevent it, is to see that all strong
colonies have plenty of room for stor-
ing surplus honey just as fast as they
are ready to occupy it. l said in a
former article that as soon as the first
surplus arrangement was partly full, it
should be lifted up and an empty one
| put under it. If the season is an extra
| good one, this process may be repeated
until there are four or five supers, each
with a capacity of twenty-four pounds
of honey on all of the strong colonies
If these supers are given them in
plenty of time, swarming may be de-
layed for several days, and a large
amount of honey secured from each
colony. During good season it is
about as easy to get four supers filled
with honey, if properly manipulated,
as it is to get one, if the bees are ne
| elected. Watch the bees closely, and
| when a swarm energies from a hive,
| just as soon as the bees are all in the
| air, remove the hive to some other
part of the yard, and place the brood
chamber only of another hive on the
old stand where the hive stood from
which the swarm issued. The frames
in this hive should all be filled with
comb foundation, If one is anxious to
secure the largest possible amount of
honey. The cost of this seems heavy
at times, but the foundation will pay
for itself several times in extra honey.
Now take all the surplus arrange
ments off of the old hive and place
them, bees and all, on the new hive.
Hive your swarm in this hive as thus
prepared, and then, if the season is a
good one, watch them work, and you
will know why 1 am not anxious for a
non-swarming race of bees.

FREAK MEN OF WICHITA.
Object to Having Pretty Won

Object to Having Pretty Women
Throwing Kisses at Them.
At WichOi, Kan, Mrs. Mary Ash
kraft, an attractive widow, and Eta
her daughter, pretty miss of IS, were
arrested few days ago on a warrant
sworn out by T. A. Fawcett, a tailor
charged with the crime" of throw
ing kisses at him and calling him pc,
names and thereby disturbing his
peace.
Their case was tried in the police
court. The widow said she did not
throw a kiss at Mr.. Fawcett, but did
watt one towards his wife. II. how.
ever, it went astray and hit Mr.. Faw-
Get, it did not hurt him much, as there
was no malice in the kiss.
Miss Ashkraft pleaded guilty to
throwing kisses at Mr.. Fawcett. She
hated Mr.. Fawcett's wife, she said and
did it to make her jealous 1t devel-
oped that the two families. who are
next door neighbors, have been at dag
gers points over trivial differences,
The judge dicharged the wido,, and
fined her daughter SIS. He gave Mr..
Fawcett severe rebuke for bringing
such a case into his court. Miss Ash
kraft begged the Judge to remit the
fine, promising never to throw kisses
again. He relented to the extent of
suspending the fine during good be-
avior.
