but the affair following SO closely upon
others of similar nature caused great
excitement. All the persons inside the

The fragments of the bombs found by
the police resembled the one found in

A Letter from O. +. Helm, Of Huron,
AbOnt the Gold Fields.

Huronite This is a great mining
caliip-probably the richest one eyer
discovered for the poor man. There
are now about 1000 people here
and ri'ost of them will remain here
all winter, as there will be plenty OF
work for every one in the mines when
they open up in October. | have
taken piece of ground to work out
on shares with two other Tacoma
men, and am now at work getting
ready for winter, cutting wood,
building cabin and doing other
necessary work. Can't say how
much we will make but hope to clear
up $3, 900 apiece aboye expenses by
spring. 1t will cost us $1,000 for
grub enough to last us until next
July. Everything is high here and
it takes lots of money TO live; wages
are so to $15 day, and this win
ter every one will get $15 a day in
the mines. The work is hard, tell
YOU. and a man earns all he gets,
considering the hardships he endures.
The weather here now is fine and
very hot, with cool nights. Lots OF
sickness here and q great many are
diving from typhoid fever but l hope
to keep well. have received only
one letter since arrived here and am
anxious to hear from the world ana
get the news, 80 please write me often
Wish | were in Tacoma long enough
to get one square meal and some
| fruit; don't get any here except some
dried sttzifi and we get tired OF that.

work Yours Truly,

attended by the following teachers:
Chas. Williams, Harry Fross, Lois
Talbot. Lizzie Smith, Louis Kel-

Bridget A. Dunn, Flora VanBrunt,
Nellie and Fannie Scott, Edith Man
ming, Chas. and Fred Strickling, Min
ME Andrews, George Sheldon, Mamie
Smith, Myrtle Callsen and Grace
Holmes.
After the usual opening exercises
the society proceeded to choose a
secretary in place OF Miss White, who
is now teaching at Iankton. This
honor was given Miss Lizzie Smith,
now teaching at Miller in Miss Whites
former place.
After this the plan OF work for the
coming year was set forth. Then
followed the discussion of current
topics with the special view OF bridg-
Ing over the summers vacation.
Owing to the limited time this was
only partially accomplished and the
rest was left for a future meeting.
Messrs. Williams and Fross were
members protein OF the executive
committee to associate with Misses
Talbot and Moncur in the prepara-
tion OF a program for our next
meeting and a short recess was had.
After recess Mr.. Fross reviewed the
work for the past year on Princes
Courses and Methods taking us a
basis the questions propounded by
the State R. c. Board. This brought
out considerable discussion especially
along the line of literature for the
children. This was a good time to
emphasize the fact that the school
board may, if they so~rdesire, pur-
chase not to exceed ten dollars in
any one year such books as they
may desire with view of forming a
town library.
A discussion followed on the use OF
vertical penmanship in every work
of the school. 1t was the prevailing
opinion that it should be used all the
time and the teacher should not place
any other form before the pupil.
This is the ideal in the matter. We
know that the pupil will initiate the
tea cher and if the teacher writes a
mixed hand the pupil will do so.
Our next session will be held Oct.
23.
The expected has happened-Felix
Louzen and Eva Purkey haye Joined
that "World widefraternity." Both
are well and favorably known to our
teachers who join the column in ex-
tending the happiest greetings and
best wishes that they may have a
happy journey along life's pathway.

Culture Of Melons.

Watermelons are excessive feeders,
aud many fail in attempting to grow
them because they do not furnish snf-
ficient plant food to supply the neces.
sary strength for vigorous vine and
fine fruit. Not infrequently water.
melon vines turn yellow and die when
they should be jus. in their prime
simply from plant starvation.
I prepare the ground as for corn.
Lay off in rows twelve feet apart each
way. / dig hole about one and one
half feet deep and perhaps three feet
in diameter. In the bottom OF this I
put o peck or more of good stable ma
nure, tramping it lightly. Next put
in layer Of soil, and follow with a
layer made up of equal parts Of soil
and fine rich manure thoroughly
mixed, and, lastly, where the seeds
are to be placed, another layer Of pure
soil. Sow seeds thickly and cover
about one inch. When the second or
third leaf shows thin out to two OF
three plants in the hills. If excep-
tionally large melons, regular "prize
takers" are desired, thin to but one
plant IN the hill. I Icultivate about as
/ do corn, hoeing each hill after ar
entire patch is plowed. If very dry
cultivate often, particularly about the
hills. 1t is some trouble TO thus pre-
pare the ground, but it more than pay
in the size, number and quality O
melons produced, also in the increased
length of time that the vines are il
bearing, as they remain green and j,
goon condition until killed by FROST
Orange Judd Farmer.

The Cabbage Root NIagsot.

The white maggot in cabbageroot is
the larva Of two-winged fly, which
closely resembles the common house
fly except that it is smaller. The flies
appear in April and early May and lay
eggs at the base of newly-set cabbage
plants. These eggs hatch in about q
week. The maggots begin work In
the young roots and proceed in their
attack to the larger roots and finally
the stem. In two or three weeks the
maggots are full grown and proceed to
pupate. After some days the next
brood of flies emerges. There are
about three such broods.
The best treatment to avoid this
maggot is to put cabbage in ground
where turnips, radishes or cabbage
were not grown the previous year
There is no satisfactory remedy to de-
stroy the maggots and save the cab
bage, but the best is the use Of carbon
bisulphids. Inject teaspoonful just
under the plant when the maggots are
first discovered in May. 1t would no.
be safe to replant the same grount
with cabbage either this or next sea
son, although late cabbage is not 81
much troubled as is the early crop
Lime or salt would not destroy o,
drive away the maggots. ts.-Americar

RIondxks Opportunity.

The rapidity with which the Klondyke ex-
citment has spread over the country is aston.
ishing. 1t is but three weeks since the nrst OF
the treasure-laden ships reached port, yet the
interest already extends from ocean to ocean.
These Kloudyke discoveries are from all ac-
counts among the most wonderful In the his
tory of mining; and certain 1t is that there mas
been no such opportunity for quickly acqnlr-
ing a fortune since the early days OF alifor-
MIA But the danger is that numbers OF COM
panies and expeditions VIII be organized by
enthusiastic but inexperienced persons VINO
will lose their own money and that or Cnelr
associates in ventures of which they have had
no previous knowle ige or experience mere
fore, those who cannot go to the golu-neius
must be careful to associate themselves Win
people who have had experience IN mining
and prospecting.
It is well known that Colorado Springs
people have had very large and successtul
experience in such operations. Among the
Alaska companies formed in that CITY, t6s me
most prominent is The Alaska KlOndyke Gold
Mining and Development Company, which
was organized and its operations most care,
fully planned by the leading banking ana
brokefag. house of Colorado Springs. THIS
company's expedition is already in Alaska,
under experienced leadership; and by reason
of It's superior equipment, strong financial re.
sources and other special facilities which ths
forethought of the management has provided,
should reach its destination and begin oper-
ations far in advance of the general rush:
This company is capitalized for OW,0e
shares Of par value Of one dollar each; and
q block of its stock is now offered for q short
time at fifteen cents per share. In this con.
nection notice is given that on Sept. 18th the
price will be advanced to twenty-five cents
