YANDERBTLTS Will BUY 1T
A Syndicate Has Been Formed to
Purchase Union Pacific.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Herald this
morning says: Reports were in circu-
lation last night that the Union Pacific
reorganization committee having now
within its control nearly all of the
bonds and stock of the company by
means of an agreement under which
they were deposited, is ready to pay a
fair sum for the road from Omaha to
Ogden. The programme is said to be
to take up the government bonds on
both the Union and Central Pacific
roads so as to give them a thorough line
to the coast
According to the report, the support
of the VanderbiltS and J. Piermont
Morgan is expected to be obtained In
fact, if it is carried out they may form
the syndicate that furnishes the neces-
sary capital for the Vanderbilts roads
would secure a through line from Oma-
ha to San Francisco. This would give
a system from Boston and New York
to the Pacific coast and it would con-
stitute the strongest system in the coun-
try
The Vanderbilts are said to be really
in earnest in their desire to absorb the
two Pacific roads, although when the
report was circulated a year ago it was
denied by Chauncey NJ. Depew and 9TH
ers closely identified with the Wander
bilt family. No confirmation was OBJ
tainabIe last night, but in the opinion of
railroad men the presence of two recog-
nized Vanderbilt men on the Union Pa
ciffc organization committee is very in
dicatiVe.

ROZELLE MUST GO.
He Will be Turned Out of the N. r. p.
A. by Anti-Fusionists

st. Louis. Mo, Jan. IA special to
the Republic from Omaha, Neb., says:
Paul Vandervoort, president of the
National Reform Press association, was
seen last night regarding the detection
existing in the ranks of the aSsocia-
ton. He read the dispatch sent out
from st. Louis in which it was stated
that Secretary Rozelle had called a
convention in opposition to the one
called by the president for February %
at Memphis, and then dictated a state
ment.
He said in the statement that, with
the exception of Rozelle, who wanted
the convention held in St. Louis or
Kansas City, all members of the exec
utive committee decided upon Memphis
and February % as the place and day
to hold the annual meeting. President
Vandervoort scored Rozelle, who, he
says, is trying to disrupt the Populist
party and turn it over to the Demo-
Gratis. Vandervoort added:
Il have taken a vote of the 1egisla-
tive committee and they have decided
to suspend Mr.. Rozelle from his posi-
ton as secretary and from membership
which I hereby announce He can hold
any side show he pleases. The great
majority of our members have hoisted
the black flag on fusion"

CHARGE AGAINST BROWN.
But One That He Refutes in Relation
to Former Legislature.

Some of the opponents of WI. Brown
in the state printer fight are charging
that he got more salary as secretary
of the senate for the work done at the
1895 session than he did for the work
done at the 1893 session, and that he
held back the mi5cellaneoGs appropr1-
alton bill Ex-senator William Rogers
chairman of the committee on ways
and means when he was senator, said
in regard to the matter today:
while I am in no way connected with
the state printer fight L want to say in
the interests of fair play that there is
nothing in either of the charges The ap-
propriation bill was held up in the house
and it was because it contained an item
of $50 as pay for Ben Rich as clerk of
the Dunsmore house. This was the rea-
son that it was held up there The sem
ate had nothing to do with it. In regard
to the other matter. it is q fact that there
was more paid out for engrossing in 1895
than there was in 1898 and this is caused
by the fact that the laws of 93 were not
engrossed till 95. went and asked the
members of the supreme court if it was
necessary to have them engrossed and
they assured me that it was. There was
nothing to do but have them engrossed
and so it was done. am willing to take

transaction

CORNSTALKS So A TON.
Shipbuilder Cramp Will Erect Facto-
ries Throughout the West,

Chicago, Jan. 14.-Edwin S. Cramp of
the Philadelphia ship building firm
completed plans for thee opening of a
factory at Rockford, ul.ssabout Febru-
airy LIST, for the manufacture of ship
padding and cattle fodder from corn
stalks, a patent food. Before the har-
vesting of the next crop it is expected
that several factories will be erected in
the corn belt and material which has
been heretofore practically worthless,
will become a source of revenue to the
farmers.
Mr.. Cramp stated that he had just
completed contracts with the American
Spirits Manufacturing company to feed
their cattle with the substance prepared
from the pith and a goodly portion of
the cornstalk crop of 1897 will be used
by us, said Mr.. Cramp. Continuing he
said:
I'VE intend to invest a large amount
of capital in making use of the inven-
tons and build factories from year to
year in favorable locations throughout
the west, so that there will be no ex-
pense for transportation to most of
these who must have the products
Mr.. Cramp said the price to be paid
for the Setalks will be 50 a ton.

Life and character tend either up
ward or downward. But a single act
or characteristic may not indicate the
tendency of life as whole. You can

of bad men; you can make devil out
OF the bad qualities of good men. Esau
eclipsed jacob ut first, but his virtues
were accidents, incidents, without
roots, and they withered before the hot
tests OF life. Jacob outshone Esau at
last. Day by day he fought his nat
ural badness, and won in the hard
struggle with himself. The mean sup
planter Jacob became the hero OF Is

Protection Of Perennial Plant.

William Toole, writing in the Wis
consin Horticulturist, says: The vigor
and Righteousness which our hardy
perennials may show next season can
be strengthened by the care given to
them just before winter Even the
hardest of them will show more vigor
IL given winter protection. All her
baceous perennials which retain some
foliage through the winter should have
little brush placed around them be-
fore being covered with straw or
leaves. This to prevent heavy pack
ing, which causes them to rot near the
surface. Those which die down to the
ground may be covered with coarse
manure. which can be raked away in
the spring. Tulips and other bulbs and
all plants which sometimes come out of
the ground before 1t seems safe to re-
move protection should be covered
with well-rotted manure, which need
not be removed in the spring, the
plants being permitted to come up
through it. Roses can best be protect
ed by covering with earth, being care
full when laying them down to throw a
little earth next the base of the stems
SO that they will not break near the
base. If carelessly done there is dan
ger of bend at top becoming uncov-
cred during the winter. A little coarse
litter on top of all will prevent the soil
washing down. Climbing roses and
such as are difficult to cover with earth
may be held down with boards covered
with straw and brush. Earliness OF
many kinds of ANIMALS can be promot-
ed by sowing just before winter, such
kinds as pansies, peoples, larkspurs, as
tiers, pinks and many others. Poppies
and larkspurs should be sown where |
they are to grow. The rest may be /
planned for transplanting. These will |
come up before it is possible to have
them with spring sowing and be more
robust than plants started indoors.

the first true home builder staked out
his claim on the great plains Of the

whence he came. These plants were In

itself, and If we were to Judge all his
tory by the records of tree planting,
both by the early pioneers OF this coun-

find that the later generation pursued
the same plan as that tried by their
forefathers. The colonial settlers
brought seeds and plants from the

mother state. Ia both cases, however,
the results were practically the same
both failures. The younger genera
ton thought, perhaps, that because
they were not going outside the limits
OF their own country. the experience
whick came to the Puritans would not
come to them. 1t has taken years for
this lesson to become firmly impressed
upon the people. but the great majority
have come to appreciate its import
ance. The unsuccessful attempts to i'm
port from the East forced those that
were determined, to look about them
and to see what nature had here pro-
Vided. In the search Tor plants for
groves and shelter belts, the native
woodlands that border the rivers and
lakes and have survived in the ravinez,
furnished the desired material, but the
source from which to draw fruit sup
ply was not so easily found. The pion-

adoption OF native plants than from
the introduction OF foreign ones. II
would be very extraordinary portion
of this earths surface which would, by
nature, be supplied with all the plants
needed to provide for the several wants
Of man. II we but reflect moment
and consider the origin of the several
cereal grains and fruits now considered
as necessities and grown by the people
OF any one section of the United
States. we cannot but be impressed
with the great Importance of the power
OF acclimatizstion and the extent to
which 1t has acted upon plants. But
while we fully appreciate the value of
introduced species. yet for the more
primitive necessities, such as shelter
and fuel, we should look to native
rather than to introduced plants.
