JUNE 8. TO- IL IL. Is THE
DATES.

The coming June meeting of the
Omaha Fair and Speed association is at
tracing tho attention of admirers of
the high-class light harness horse in
all portions of the west, AZ both the
large purses offered and the superiority
of the track has proven magnet of
sufficient force to bring to the Gate
city the largest string of representative
trotters and PAGERS ever seen west of
Chicago.
In view of the hard times owners
and trainers have been very conserva-
tive in making entries, thus assuring
the fact that the ma jority of those en-
tered will be starters. and by looking
over the record of the class races out
be found that the fields are very equal
" matched and that the character of
horses insures spirited contests in each
and every race.
As to the slower classes there are
horses without records which have al
ready shown ability to trOt or pace be-
low 2:l2.
Special attention will be given by
the management to get horses on the
track without delay during races, thus
eliminating the unpleasant delay usual
ly attending speed events.
Tuesday, June 9. will be made one of
the gala days of the meeting. and will
be designated as Omaha day. All of
the more prominent business houses
have agreed to close from l2 noon to 8

and assist the efforts of the association
toward the bettering of the local con-
dition. can by addressing the secretary,

tion of closing. Wednesday. June 10.

Rutahag,s for FoddeE.


1t is gratifying to see 80 many Amer
ican farmers putting their waste places
or spare pieces Of land into rutabagas
and turnips for early fall or long win
ter feeding. They are getting the Eu-
rOpean idea of root crops. There the tlr-
nips and rutabagas are sown broadcast
as are almost all grains. and II not de-
sired as roots, the foliage then is Used
for green food. Just imagine the results
Of twenty-acre oatpatch treated In
this way! Think of the tremendous
amount of green fodder. magnihce
fodder too, coming into full play dur
ing hot August and September. Why.
a field of rutabagas and turnips. there.
for cattle food is worth almost as much
as the oats gathered therefrom! An
other good plan is to SOW rutabaga
seed. especially the variety known as
Salzer's Lacrosse, Wis, Mammoth Rus
sian variety, or his Milk Globe turnip
sort. at the rate of one-half pound per
acre. into the cornfield, just before the
last cultivation. This will give you
two good crops-one of corn, the other
of roots from the same land! One ad-
vantage of the rutabaga is that 1t can
be sown at any time of the summer for
green food, while a sowing the latter
Iart of July is the best in northern
states for big. sweet. Juicy roots for
winter storage and use.

As soon as rhubarb is . little lower

every housewife who is fond of either

cut away all the white underskin, take
out the seeds. and divide the oranges
into quarters. Open each carpet that
holds the pulp and take that out, be-

then cook slowly until q fine mass

Grain Growing in Colorado.-In the
annual report of the agricultural college
at Fort Collins, Colo, the statement is
made that the agricultural department
is paying more and more at
tention to stock-growing, believ-
ing that the day has passed
when grain can be grown profitably in
that state Grains grown on the COL
lege farm have been a success, but
1t is remembered that the same con-
ditions do not prevail all over the state.
well-Prepared Ground.-The true
rule is to SOW no more ground than can
be thoroughly prepared: but where the
soil is not too compact, and is free from
weed growth, plowing may sometimes
be dispensed with and the upper crust
be put in good shape to receive oats
by careful narrowing. Thus it may be
under way before the pressing spring
work begina-Ex.
Soil for Pears.-It is generally un-
derstood that pears need 4 very rich
soil. Yet it is an unsettled question
whether the soil should be enriched
after the pears have begun to grow.
The controversy is as perennial as the
pear tree itself. Some growers will
not cultivate or manure their pear or
chards fearing the blight. while others
do both.

1TeeS anu OOllS.-1neTe seems 10 Oe
a sure index to the character of the
soil in the manner of the growth of
trees. It will be noticed that on hard
clay soil the trees are of slow growth
irregular. and extremely uneven In
branches. Each years growth is very
small. Frequently ever the leaves are
dwarfed. Yet in time trees on such
soil attain an immense development.
We instance scrub oak. The develop
ment of its branches seems to keep pace
with the development of the roots in
the soil. Where the soil is rich and soft
the roots force their way easily, and the
growth of the tree above the ground is
smooth and rapid. The limbs are long

A MERRY WAR
AMONG The ELKS
Lodge Number Three Re-
sents Slurs Against a
High Officer.
A Suit by Golden Gate Lodge
Stirs Up Some Unfrater-
nal Feelings.
James P Dunno and Others Speak in
Def-nse of Grand Exalted Ruler.
Detweiler.

The legal contest between Golden Gate
Lodge No. 6, B. P o. Elks, ana its success
sor, San Francisco Lodge No. 3, promises
to be waged with great bitterness in the
courts and to result in the development OF
feelings quite unfraternal.
The members of the new order feel very
bad because Grand Exalted Ruler Meade
D. Detweiler of Harrisburg, Pa, who came
here to settle matters, has not been treated
with the delicacy and consideration he
deserves by those who still insist that
Golden Gate Lodge No. 6 is the only and
original order.
All the above came out because of the
suit of the members of the old lodge
against James 2. Dunno and others 10
recover $43S8 40, which was turned over to
the new lodge by the officers of the old,
Grand Exalted Ruler DetweiIer having
revoked the charter of the old lodge and
received the funds.
'Detweiler is not tramp or hungry
walking delegate, who was swayed in his
judgment by good meal" said Mr.
Dunno yesterday, 'but he is an honora BILE
man who stands well in his State and who
acted fairly
Joseph Howell, one of the officers of
the old order who abandoned 1t for the
new, was equally indignant. Speaking OF
the matter, he said; "Detweller is a man
of means and standing. is District Attor-
ney OF Harrisburg, and when he came
here to adjust matters he acted equi-
tably."
The whole question is whether Det-
weller had authority to suspend the old
lodge, call in its charter and take it's
funds, even with the consent of its officers.
The night now on in the courts is whether
the fifteen or eighteen mem bers of the old
order can hold out against the ruling and
establish their claim in the courts Nearly
eli of the mem beys of Golden Gate Lodge
No. 6-about 100 in Advent into the new
lodge, No. 8, but those who held out
promise to wage a merry war for the
funds. All agree, however, that Exalted
Ruler Detweiler has been put in a false
light.

Howell and Charles S. Hoffman for
S4SSS 40 on account of 10 moneys and prop
erty belonging to said lodge which the de-
fendants are accused Of converting to their

drawn by the defendants and converted to

HAMEL LOSES.

Margaret Buckmaster's Glove and AZ
fection' Deed Is Ordered Cancelled.
Judge SeawelI has given judgment for
the plaintiff in the case of John c. Buck
master against Joseph Hamel. The suit
was to recover possession of real estate on
Eighteenth street, near Mission, tnat was
decided TO Hamel by the late Margaret
Buckmaster, the consideration mentioned
being Glove and affection"
The complaint alleged that Hamel ex-
ercised undue influence over the mind OF
Miss Buckmaster and made her believe
that her relatives had no regard for her.
Hamel's answer was that he and Miss
Buckmaster had agreed to reside togeth er
as brother and sister and that they had
borne that relationship for several years
in an honorable way, the agreement being
that each should deed to the other the
property which they owned, the survivor
to take it ALL
The court while not finding adversely to
this statement decided that the clrcum-
stances were not sufficient to justify the
transfer of property rights in this way, es-
peciaily when relatives were altogether
ignored.
A stay of execution has been granted at
the request of defendant Hamel.
