THE only thing that would indi- dicate to-day is Memorial Day was the marching up Main street of Go. H, N. G. A. No doubt did not Uncle Sam make it compulsory for ali militia companies to turn out on this day, Go. H would have followed the example of the balance of our citizens and failed to parade, It is to be regretted that our citi- zens did not make arrangements for the proper observance of the day. Our noble dead should be remembered and we hope a year from now that the day will not be allowed to go unobserved.

THE last obstacle-the opening Of Main Street to the river-has been removed and the street will be cleared and filled with dirt. Let our citizens who have failed to sign the agreement now being circulated among them sign it at once, so the good work can be commenced.

Sorghum for Cattle.

In the report of the agricultural convention held at Phoenix last fall, just issued in bulletin Is of the Experiment Station, Tucson, Prof. Gulley says: "In cropping we should not follow sorghum with grain. AL falfa takes more from the ground than sorghum but leaves the ground in better condition. Sorghum absorbs all the food material immediately available. The rotation might be alfalfa, grain, sorghum, then alfalfa. There are number of different varieties of sorghum, both sweet and non-sacchrine. The sweet variety seems to be preferred by stock. The seed has practically the same com position as wheat, and one can grow about as much seed per acre as he can corn. It may be grown broad cast or in drills. Sometimes the stocks are too large when grown in drills but even when the stem be- comes dry cattle are fond of it and will chew 1t all up, probable for the sugar it contains, rejecting the leaves until after they have chewed the stock.
 Harvesting machinery is made which will reduce the cost of harvest ing to minimum and when shocked it will not sour as corn does. If it costs too much to harvest, cattle may be turned in the standing sorghum for 8 time each day"
 H. H. Logan of Phoenix has this to say respecting the planting of grapes "I would choose 8 rich sandy or gravelly loam, with a moderate depth of subsoil. Too much labor cannot be expended in the preparation of the ground. The soil in this part of the country has lain dormant for many years and should be loosened III thoroughly to a depth of 20 to 24 inches. Where the sun is so hot a
 it is here, 1t is necessary to encourag the roots to go down deep. A grap' vine will use all the ground that yor , will give it, say 100 square feet; there
 fore set the vines not less than tel feet apart each way or eight feet apar
 in rows, the rows 12 feet apart. The, may be planted either as cuttings o rooted plants, the latter being nor
 satisfactory although vineyardist
 generally use cuttings made at tn time of pruning and kept in mois 7 sand until the proper season to SC
 them. Water shoud follow immed
 lately upon planting. The month C '. February is the best time to plan , When first set the vineyard shoul
 be irrigated thoroughlyand then agai
 as soon as it shows real need ( 3 water. This will cause the roots t. extend further into the deep soi As soon as the ground is dry enoug it should be cultivated thorough t and the surface kept mellow"
 Speaking of feeding dairy cattl z Chaplain Scott says. "In feeding 4
 or 50 cows I, used sugar beets an ] added certain quantity of corn mea a I increased the quantity of milk fv . to eight gallons day and also in creased the quantity of cream. 0 raise large quantities of sweet potatoe { and get more milk and better quality ] apparently, when I feed sweet pots A toes in the fall"

land, one of the party asked: "Why
don't you give the world what it has
wanted for good while now, and
that is the actual bringing of an image
to life? Ever since the story of Pig
malion and Galatea was written the
world has wondered why, if there is
anything in magic, this thing has not
been done. Now you do it." There
is no such thing as miracle" replied
Hermann, ''but I always like to ac-
comodate my friends, and the next
time you see my performance you shall
have your wish. l will make a paint
ed picture come to life and step from
the frame and dance with the artist
that painted it." All this has ap-
parently been accomplished in the lit
tie one-act comedy, can Artists
Dream" which is one of Herrmann's
best illusions.
Milton Lackaye, as DR.. Belgraff, in
Chas. Klein's play, makes up in a
red wig and whiskers as a German
scientist. The play is based upon
deals almost entirely with hypnotism
and his character is almost similar to
SvengalPs in Trilby, but without the
extreme mannerisms of the latter.
The play possess throughout the ell
ements of strong drama tending dis
tinctly toward melodrama, and tells
the story of the poor but earnest
chemist, whose every aim Is to pro-
mote the happiness of his sister, who
pines for riches and pleasure, and falls
in love with the titled william, whose
sister is the subject on whom the hyp-
notist exercises his power as means of
revenge. He, however, finds that in
stead of hating her he loves her. Her
accidental witnessing of a quarrel be-
tween her brother and DR.. Belgraff,
in which the latter kills the former,
furnishes highly sensational scene,
at thee lose of which Belgraff hypno-
tiZes her to save himself from expos
ure. During the following two acts
he carries her along under the infiu-
ence of his spell, making her renounce
her lover and charging him with the
murder, until finally Belgraff. pursued
by remorse and overcome by brandy,
drunk to relieve his anxiety, loses his
ability to control her, and the appear
ance of an insanity expert on the scene
completes his defeat and brings down
the curtain on the recognition of the
lovers and the suicide, by poison, of
Belgraff, who dies standing erect
at the touch of the arresting officer.
The play is intensely interesting
throughout, but the quickness of ac-
ton slackens after the first two acts.
In addition TO the magnificent acting
of the star, Marie Wainwright has a
part which is hardly second to his and
in which she succeeds wonderfully,
making her part almost a star perfor-
nance. The veteran actor. Couldolck,
plays a stern parent, and Fortst Rob-
binson the simple but manly son. The
Byron Douglass as Sir Godfrey Rob

James O'Neill recently had an excit-

Mount Haggin, near Anacoda, Mont.
The eagle was engaged in the task of
removing to a higher abode the per-
son of a little Anaconda boy named
Willie Mcguire. Mr.. O'NeiIl arrived
upon the scene just as the huge bird
had seized the little boy and was
about to carry him away in it's strong

killed the eagle, but not without first
having his high silk tile hacked to

Thomas w. Keene is constantly

$50 will get on the stage, and out of
them possibly four will achieve fame
some day. 1t is not that advance
ment is more difficult nowadays, but
| that the ambition of young actors is
not so lasting. They find that by some
small trick or speciality they can make
as much as the all around actor of

wing and working steadily, put in their
time enjoying life, as they say"

God endowed the humorist as he en-
dowed the philosopher. The theatre
is not to be condemned because it is
dramatic. Anything that will afford
innocent diversion and recreating
amusement to the people should be
welcomed with delight. The theatre
is here to stay. 1t viii stay in the

Dairy Herds Infected.

Commenting on the reported decision
OF the French Government that all live
stock imported into that country here
after must be subjected to the tuber-
culin test, the New York Times says
that this country should prepare for
similar action on the part Of other for
eign nations, to which we export cattle
to the value of about $30,0O0000 per
annum. The Illinois Board Of Live
Stock Commissioners has determined,
'for the welfare of the general public
and for the protection of the inmates
of the various charitable institutions
throughout the State, to subject all
dairy cattle connected with such insti-
buttons to. the tuberculin test" OF the
large herd attached to an asylum in
Elgin nearly half of the seventy-five
cows were found to be tuberculous.
The second herd which the commission
ers examined was one of 1872 cows, at

at Kankakee. Here forty-three were
found to be diseased and were killed.

Attack Bisbop end Priest.

The attempt of Bishop Richter to rein
state Father Matkowski as pastor Of st.
Stanislaus' Polish Church at Bay City
resulted in a riot in front of the edificc
Sunday morning, in which even women
and children took part. Father Matow-
ski was scratched and bruised, while
Bishop Richter is said to have sustained
a slight injury to the spine. The origin
of the trouble dates back several weeks
and grows out of differences between
Father Matkowski, the pastor, and his s.
sistant, Father Turski. The latter is
charged with circulating stories deroga-
tory to Father Matkowski, which result
ed in his being ordered to leave the church
by an element which favored Turski.
Father Matkowski left, but as the
charges could not be proved Bishop Rich
ter decided to reinstate him. This the
Turski faction objected to and the rioting
followed. Turski has been excommuni-
Gated.

cheap or effective. Tobacco dust is
also good. Melons like a warm, moist,
sandy or gravelly loan, though musk
melons will grow In heavier soil than
lwatermelons, but the flavor is best
when grown on lighter land.
The main secret In melon culture Is
to start the plants early. Muskmelons
should be planted Axe feet and water
melons Sx1O feet apart. They should
be cultivated as long as possible and
will cover the whole ground at these
distances. The land should be heavily
fortified with good manure, and a
liberal handful of fertilizer hoed in
around each hill. Big melons and lots
of them do not grow where plant food
is scarce. OF the muskmelons and
cantaloupes, the former being the
round, netted ones, and the latter the
long, smooth sorts, the Emerald Gem
is one of the earliest and best. 1t Is

A Huge Python Swallows One that
Wns Attached to n Chain.
An animal store in Williamsburg, N.
Y, was recently the scene Of tragic
affair, the suicide of a huge python.
During the night the monster reptile
broke out Of his box and swallowed
frisky monkey that was chained in
a cage set close to the ceiling.
The python, in common with the
other great constructing snakes, has
the popularity that he can swallow
an object of great size, but cannot re-
linquish anything. If he swallows
tin can he is obliged to keep it. The
jaws are joined by very elastic carti-
lage, which permits them to open to
a great width, but the sharp teeth all
point backward toward the throat, and
nothing can pass out between them.
The python had caught the chained
monkey, killed and quickly swallowed
him. Then he tried to move away,
