Council Bluffs trying to locate the
place from which the two bodies found
in Des Moines, checked from Omaha,
were AIKEN. The sections of the local
cemeteries were notified and started
an investigation to ascertain if any
graves here had been robbed. The re-
suits caused the Omaha police to think
grave robbery has been carried on on
a wholesale plan. At Mount Hope
cemetery, the graves of the last two
persons buried, Hannah Larson and
Jacob HELM, were reopened. Both
we're empty. The descriptions of the
bodies at Des Moines correspond to
these two. Other graves were found
disturbed in this cemetary, though no
more were opened. The Omaha author

farln Notes

Be ready to SOW grass and clover 1t the
first opportunity.
Fruit trees may be set out II the ground
Is In good condition.
Do not undertake so much that any part
OF the work will be done hurriedly.
With all crops less work will be required
to cultivate II the preparatory work IL done
well.
One advantage in stirring this soil deep
is that It tends to induce the roots to 60
deeper into the soil.
A little care In supplying the stock with
q good variety now will help materially 10
keeping them with q good appetite.
When the teams have been idle during
the winter the better plan Is to put them to
work gradually; they stand 1t better.
AS a general rule as II becomes necessary
to increase the work of the teams 1t will BE-
best to gradually increase the grain ration.
Plan to grow a good variety OF crops,
carrying out u system of rotation, SO as to
distribute the work as evenly as possible.
With all crops there Is what may be
termed a best time for seeding or planting
and the nearer the work can be done to
this time the better.
While it is always an item to get the
spring crops in early it is of no advantage
to seed or plant until the soil will work
readily into q good filth.
Under present conditions il the best pro-
fit is realized it is very important to lessen
the cost of production so far rs can be done
and yet maintain the quality.
One of the most important items In set
ting out trees Of all kinds Is to see that the
roots and soil come In close contact.
Many pastures and meadows are seriously
injured by allowing the stock to tramp
over them when the ground is soft, as it is
more or less during the latter part Of win
ter or early spring.

silver Certificates Advance:

Silver Certificates AdyancO.s
New YoRK.-[Special.-In the stock
silver certificates advanced
to 20 on transactions of $4,000. The
highest previous price within the past
few months was 6911 On Oct. 10. 1895.
Authorities on silver say that the rise
is legitimate and in no sense due to
speculation. Exchange on India is
not at the highest point in London,
after q steady advancement during the
past 80 days. The largely decreased
production of the white metal has
naturally depleted the supplies on
hand, while the low price tended to
increase the demand for use in the
arts. London is now q large bidder
for silver II this market, but finds the
metal scarce.

The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-09-03
A GREAT EXHIBIT.

San Francisco's Industrial Exposition
is the best proof that could be submitted
OF the variety of the products of CaIifor-
MIA. 1t would be surprise to those who
are not already familiar with the facts to
know that there are articles on exhibition
in the exposition hall in variety so end
less as to suggest the thought that the
whole world had been drawn upon to fur
nish material for the display. Yet it is
true that there is not a product of fed,
mountain, factory or shop there on exhi-
bition that is not a native of California,
and the Californian who fails to go and
see for himself will have but little idea of
the possibilities of his State in the ma
terials of trade, commerce and industry.
1t will be admitted that the first pnr-
pose of exhibiting the various products of
the State in Exposition Hall is as Presi-
dent Denicke said in his address of well
come when the doors were thrown open.
1.-THE object of this is thoroughly TO adj
vertise home products and educate our
citizens in the various and many indus
tries of the State" But there is an edu-
cational feature of the effort which is not
to be forgotten. As our own people come
w A~~AANO Hhob OPPOl
offers to capital and to homeseekers thew
will grow enthusiastic and every one will
become an immigration agent, in so far as
his correspondence with friends outside
the State is concerned. Such efforts to
present the excellence of the State in
truth to the world by giving practical and
substantial evidence of its mighty and far
reaching advantages for profit ana pleas
ure are deserving the gratitude of every
one who is interested in CaIifornia's pros
perity.
The orator of the occasion, Mr.. ]. d.
Phelan, summed it all up when he said :
"Of course, before everything else, the
chief element in city's prosperity must
be the profitable employment of her in
habitants, which means a market for their
productions at home or abroad" The raw
material would not avail the people any,
thing without mill and factory to convert
it into mercnantable articles, nor can San
Francisco reach great proportions as a
commercial and financial center until in
dustrial enterprises are planted where raw
material may be most conveniently
reached. 1t is of no great consequence
where in the State capital erects factories
and mills, for as the State grows so grows
her own metropolis, San Francisco. The
State could not have business expansion
without San Francisco participating in it
