ed by placing an empty tray face
downward upon filled one and in
verting them leaving the fruit on the
new tray. To produce the best grade
of dried fruit, the figs should not
touch one another on the trays dur
ing the process of drying. During
the turning, all inferior figs, such as
those that ferment and puff up, should
be culled out and used for vinegar.
Figs which show "a slight froth at the
eve are turning sour and should be re-
moved.
Covering the figs must not be neg
out over night uncovered, they will
be discolored. Rain and dew are very
to be produced. If white figs are left
damaging and the fruit should be pro-
tected from them. This is best accom-
plished, in California, by stacking the
trays one on top of another when rain
is expected The top and sides of the
stacks should then be protected with
empty trays. If permanent drying
beds of gravel and cement are made,
a mechanical device for covering the
trays with horizontal canvas curtain
can be used, and in this way they
can easily be covered every night.
1t is very important that drying
cease when the figs have reached the
proper stage for packing. They must
on no account be overdried nor should
they be removed from the trays too
soon. The proper degree of dryness
can be detected oy pressing the figs
between the thumb and finger. They
should be soft and pliable, with the
contents distinctly pulpy, and when
squeezed the fig should not resume it's
former shape, but remain pressed. 1t
should be plastic not elastic nor dry,
Underdried figs will spoil in packing,
while overdried ones are hard, leath-
cry, and worthless as food or delicacy.
The trays must be gone over every
day and the properly dried figs taken
off, the spoiled ones being removed at
the same time. The time required for
drying varies from four to sixteen
days yields the best quality of prod
uct
Dried figs are greatly benefited by
being sweated or equalized as regards
moisture. This is accomplished by
placing them in sweat boxes holding
rs pounds or more. The boxes are
stacked up one across another in such
a way as to insure a free circulation
of air. This is to prevent the SOUR
fermentation, which would spoil the
figs. The room where the sweat boxes
are stored should be closed and the
walls should preferably be of brick.
Daily examination of the contents of
the boxes should be made, so that any
inclination of the fruit to ferment and

Later.

The railroad and warehouse commits
sion yesterday held an important ses-
sion relative to the application from
the citizens of Grogan for a depot at
that place. Grogan is ON the line Of
the Omaha road. An interesting legal
question has arisen in connection with
the application, concerning the validity
of law passed at the last session of
the legislature.
The Omaha road has declined to con-
struct the station. The law which was
passed at the recent session says that
depots shall be constructed on applica-
tion at any village or borough, and
that the railroad commission has au-
thority to order such construction. The
matter is of Importance to the railroads
Of the state. and NJ. D. Grover, chief
counsel of the Great Northern, and
Judge Wilson, of the Omaha road, We're
present to present the position of the
railroads. Attorney General Childs rep
resented the state.
Messrs. Grover and Wilson contend
ed that the law was unconstitutional
for the reason, that in its title it did
not state its intent and purpose. They
also held that the law, even if cOnSti-
tutionai. would not hold good in the
case of the petition from the citizens
: of GrOgan, for the reason that the law
referred only to villages or boroughs
with an organized government. They
claimed that Grogan was a mere ham,
let. without any system of local orgo-
nized government. Attorney General
Childs has taken the matter under con-
sideration.

CYCLING WAR ON.

Battle at Any Time.

Battle at Any Time.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May THE gaunt-.
let thrown down by the national officers of
have seeded to form an organization of their
own, has been taken up with a will, and here
after it is to be war to the knife. The mem
.bers Of California Associated Cycling Clubs
under whose banner the seceders have ranged
themselves, are ready and willing to begin
the battle at once, and point with pride and
confidence to the fact that several hundred
men have already joined the new organization
as individuals and pledged themselves to
support it to the utmost extent. They have
no fear of the reprisals that are threatened
or that the secession movement will be dis
rupted by anything that the Eastern people
may do.
Ex-Chief Consul Kerrigan has shown his
confidence in the new organization by Join
ing. He is outspokeD in his belief, and pre-
diets that the California Associated Cycling
Clubs will eventually usurp all the functions
and power of the division and that it will
open new for California wheelmen. "The
new organization is bound to succeed said
he yesterday, because we have the strong
est wheelmen in California in our ranks, and
our cause is just. Look at the progress we
have made. Within thirty days over 500 Wheel
men have Joined the associated clubs as in
dividuais, and several clubs in this city and
the interior have sent in their applications.
We viii give Mr.. Potter and the rest of the
l.. A. w. officials all the fight they want, il
that is what they mean, and it would appear
from the dispatches that they mean to down
US if possible The day of Eastern domina-
iton in California wheeling matters is past
and we see the dawn of new era.''

the knowledge, that so many forms of

Fine Record of Pitcher Cook, OF
Manchester College.

Manchester college won the second inter-col-
1egiate game of base ball yesterday at Ham
line in a rather one-sided contest, by score
of 2S to s. From the beginning the Manchester
boys showed their superiority over the Ham
lineites, and Cook, who twirled the sphere
for Manchester, had the whole aggregation
at his mercy. At the end of the game the
official score showed he had succeeded in
persuading fifteen Methodists to fan the air.
He also helped win his own game by a home
run in the third inning. Davis, his catcher,
caught a splendid game, and threw bases
with wonderful rapidity. Glassco, of Ham
line, pitched good bail, but had poor support.
He however, struck out eight of Macalester's
hitters. The feature, aside from Cooks
phenomenal pitching, was the clever field
work of Frazer and Guise, of the Macs. .
Out of five times at bat, Guise made three
Dagger and two two-baggers. Following
