MARIO Fadden reports over 1tOlambs
killed by wolves this summer. at john

tprowl along the edge of the woods in
the neighborhood of the herd, and where
the grass is sufficiently long to cover
them, they advance into the flock, grab
a lamb and start for the timber. II is al

On Friday night, after eleven o'clock,
the horizon in the direction Of Emerson
was illuminated. From the top of the
First National Bank building it was soon
discovered that the town was on fire in
the neighborhood of the Russell house.
Several of those that were up at that hour
went over to lend a helping hand ifneed-
ed. When they got there they found
DR.. McFadden's barn burnt to the ground
and the fire under control. The origion
of the fire is unknown, but supposed to
be the work of tramps sleeping in the
hay-loft. Everything was saved but the
building.

Organization is the order of the day. It is the sign of the times Those whose interests lie along tho same path are uniting everywhere. They consult to gotheri they form clubs; they hold con ventions, at which measures arc taken to strengthen the bond of union and tc forward the interests of all the membert as of one man The solidarity of the race is showing itself Tho original truth that all mankind arc brethren anC that the good of ono and the good of all is identical shines sun clear as the nine. teenth century yanishes and the twenti eth steps upon tho scene with its glad young face and elastic step Surely thil universal tendency to organization among men and women is the foreshad- owing of better things to come, ths portent of that time whom all mankind, rich and poor, will be organized into one great union, the interests of whose members will be the same.

The decay and death of stately ole trees is a sad spectacle Every city, every country home, witnesses yearly the los of beautiful old forest trees, in somt cases centuries old.
 It has been supposed there was nc way of arresting the decay of an ancient tree when once 1t set in. Recent expert ments have, however, shown this to bt n mistake. Modern science has decreeC that there need not bo any more ole people It has now asserted positively that magnificent elms, oaks, syea1nores. pines and their brethren of the woodt need not die at all That is the result declared to be arrived at by the De Gal system of pruning
 In brief, 1t is trimming back tho long branches of the old tree a third or eve1 half their length. All the youth and sar of tho treo leave it's roots and trunk anc flow outward to tho end of the branches. Trim these back, leach main branch tc a healthy lateral branch, which vii. serve to attract and elaborate by meant of its leaves Q sufficient flow of sap tt insure the growth of the branch. Thu tho old tree is made constantly to renew its youth, grow its branches over an6 over aga1n Care must be taken alwayl to let the lower limbs remain the lon. gest That is the natural method ot growth i'll tho limbs of any tree left te itself The longest limbs below, shorter limbs toward and at the top of tho tret trunk permit the most sunlight and [ freo circulation of air among the great. est number of leaves.
 The older tree grows, the more beautiful and precious it becomes. Ii the oaks and elms that have shaded gen. erations of mankind can be preserved by this new system of tree surgery, then may they live forever.

IEumbngglne the RuraIi.t.

All people enjoy being humbugged, apparently the hard headed, practical farmer better than anybody else. He likes to hear of extraordinary new yege. table growths that will make him for tune in a year or two without any more culture than planting tho seed. He might know from his common sense, however, that when the story of some new plant or grain reads like a fairy tale it Is hHmbug Such stories orig mate in two ways. In the ono case they emanate from the brain of tho space writer for the newspaper, person who will concoet any lie, however impossi bio, for the sake of getting his $3 or $5 a column In the other case the fake story comes from interruptions seodsmen and seed agents who want to trap the agrioulturist into buying thoir stuff Little they care whether the thing grows at all or if it does grow whether it may not be a noxious weed that will be q pest to the universe It is q pity that among so many honest and worthy seedsmen there are some of that kind One of the fake stories that went the rounds was about tho fortunes to be made in ehili peppers. Another told ot the extraordinary virtues of q Russian weed called by some saghalien Then there is the Idaho pea, no doubt ex. tremely useful in it's way, but it will not grow everywhere, and it will not do all that is claimed for it.
 Time after time the farmer has bee1 trapped with machines with chemical preparations and with plants only tc find when his money has been spent that If one wishes to be successful there Is nothing like begging away at the work immediately under your nose af the same time watching every oppor tunity of bettering yourself that conet your way

Cruelty to Animals.

One of the most cruel and inhu- man acts of which man can be guilty is cruelty to animals. For this crime there is no warrant or excuse. The voice of a poor dumb brute is sealed against suffering. It cannot putinto words the anguish it feels. Itmay be sick, oyerworked or exhausted, yet is must endure the merciless treatment of man in silence. It may refuse to go from sheer exhaustion, yet 1t is beaten and maltreated and knows not the reason why and bears the brutal punishment in silence If it offers resistance to the lash or bludgeon, the punishment is applied with re- newed zeal and energy by brute in human form more brutal in his instincts than the dumb animal which is the victim of his inhuman treatment. If there is anything that appeals to the sympathy of man and is deserving of his kindest treatment, it is the dumb animal, because It's voice is speeches. and it cannot put into words the anguish it feels. Mans inhumanity to man may make countless thousands mourn, to paraphrase the poet just q little, but mans inhumanity to the dumb brute is unutterable, because it is known not of.
 This city had very striking ob- jeet lesson Sunday Of mans brutah- ty to the dumb brute, and this morning we were given an example in the police court of the inequali- ties in the administration of the laws.
 For some time q lot of cattle herd CTS have been in and abont the city. Saturday they were driving a drove of cattle on Lakeside, when one of the animals dropped out of the drove from sheer exhaustion Then one of the human brutes beat the poor dumb brute with a bludgeou until the animal could not move. Then they left the beaten and exhaust ted animal lying in the shade on va cant lot, but later in the day return ed and repeated the operation. Residents and citizens living on Lakeside Christian men and wom- en-were the unwilling witnesses of this brutal spectacle. Sunday morn. ing the poor dumb brute died from it's maltreatment. A citizen caused the arrest of the author of it's death, and this (Monday) morning we were given an Illustration of the very just (O administration of our laws in the police court The culprit was fined S3 The State laws make cru city to animals misdemeanor, pun ishable by fine or Imprisonment or both.. Our city court lets the cul- prit off with fine of &3. Yet this same police court does not hesitate te impose heavy fines and penalties upon unfortunate beings arrested for yagrancy. A man may have committed no crime, but because, foFsooth, he is out of employment and has no visible means of support, he is sent to the calaboose as a va grant, and forced to work on the public streets, a man of brutal in. stincts can beat 8 poor dumb aui- nal to death on one of the public thoroughfares--a spectacle men, women and children are forced to witness-and be excused for his crime by the payment of a measly fine of 8. That's the way justice is administered in the police court of Pine Bluff.

As the administration believes that

nose of ending the war in Cuba" con-
tiuued DIR. Palma, 1.-THE deplorable con-
dition of the reconcentrados having
been caused by the cruel warfare
waged by Spain. and the government
finding itself unable to relieve the
situation has applied to the United
States for aid. President Mckinley
must see by now that there is no chance
for peace to be established in Cuba
without in terven ton, and living up to
his word as given in his previous mes
sages, must in tervene, and Spain can
not nationally and consistently reject
such intervention"
Coming down to the relief plan itself.
DR.. Palma said: IF the American peo-
pie are willing to help the reconcen-
rados they should send no money
food, clothing and the like, but no
money-that would be the best plan to
follow out. Money will benefit the
Spanish only.
"Blanco has accepted the American
proposition as way out OF difficult
position. He knows that it would re-
auire millions of dollars to perma-
nently relieve the reconcentrados. un-
der the present conditions. But the
United States can accomplish very lit
tie during the progress of the war.
The only way to relieve the reconcen-
trados and, in fact, all Cubans, is to
stop this distress by the introduction
fpeace and independence.
with peace restored their concen-
trados will be able to return to their
farms and their residences. We have
the money. the tools, and the materials
that will set these people right at work
again.
Let the American people know that
the best plan is to intervene for peace.
They should intervene Immediately.
Spain Is trying to shake off the
ignominy of Weylerism in Cuba. but it
can not succeed. 1t is necessary that
the world should know the results of
that work in Cuba, and the world is
learning fast"

LAWS FOR THE MASSES
An Englishman's View of Amer
lean Trades Unionism.
IT IS NOT POLITICALLY AGGRESSIVE.
The Workers Are in the Majority, and
They Could, If They Would, Control
Aldermen, Legislators and
Congressman.

New YORK, Dec. so Edward Har.
ford, who, with Havelock Wilson. M.
~ constituted the British trades
union delegations to the Nashville con
vention of the American Federation Of
Labor, sailed for Southampton on the
American liner st. Paul
Before sailing Mr.. Hartford said:
The policy of the American trades
unions in not engaging in politics as a
BODY is stupid. How can they expect
10 OBTAIN any lasting reforms IL they
hold aloof? BY pursuing their present
mummy plan of ignoring the control
OF political machinery as a means of
lettering their condition they are not
only fatally ignoring their chances,
but are inviting the scorn OF the poll
tclans-the very class from whom they
expect to get better laws for the masses.
Your American politician, as q
rule, is moved to Legislation for the
masses only by a show of superior
force. Exalted feeling he has none.
Let the trades unions force this style
OF puppet into retirement and send
men to boards of aldermen, legisla-
lures and congress who will not pre-
tend to be the friends Of the people in
speeches and in secret sell out to the
corporations and money power.
Things in England used to be much
as they are in the United States, but
they have changed. We trades union
lists go right into politics. We have
succeeded in making the political par
ties there defer to us. and why should
we not? We are the majority. In
every country the workers are the ma
jority."
