publican Campaign Expenses.
House Passes the Urgent Deficiency Bill
Almost Without Debate.

Washington, June 2.-Whcn the Sen
ate adjourned. this evening the war
revenue measure, so far as the finance
committee is concerned, was completed
with the exception of the bond provi-
sion and the amendments proposed by
the Democrats in lieu of the bond para
graph. While no agreement was
reached, fixing a time for the taking OF
a final vote upon the bill, it was the
expressed opinion on both sides of the
chamber that a vote would be taken
tomorrow before adjournment.
Mr.. Allison, Rep, Iowa. in charge of
the measure announced that he would
ask the Senate to remain in session
tomorrow until vote was reached
All of the committee amendments ex-
cept those noted were agreed to this
afternoon. Several efforts We're made
to amend or eliminate the committee
amendments but the efforts in each
were unsuccessful.
Mr. Butler, Pop, n. c., had the floor
for 3l4 hours, this afternoon. Within
Is minutes after he began to speak he
brought on a general political engage
ment which lasted for more than an
hour.
The debate which was heated and at
times decidedly personal, turned upon
the amount of money spent by the Re
publican managers in the Presidential
campaign of 1896. Senators on both
sides of the Chamber were brought in
to the debate and a good deal of ILL
feeling was manifested.

MURDEROUS ASSAULT
By a Woodsman on Fellow Workman
With an Axe.
Nearly Sewers a Leg Arrested at HouIton and
Bound Over.

Deputy Sheriff Noah Gould arrived
in Bangor, Thursday afternoon, on the
Bangor & Aroostook train from Pat
ten. with Melville Mckenzie, who. as
will be remembered, made the murder
Gus assault upon Chas. Kelly of Old
Town, at Samuel Harvcy's camp about
so miles in from Patten. Mckenzie
was captured at Houlton, Tuesday
night and was brought to Patten where
he was arraigned before Trial Justic
Daniel Scribncr, Wednesday afternoon
and was bound over in the sum of $500
to the August term of the supreme
court. He was defended by Don A. II.
Powers Of Houlton, and County At
torney Bertram l.. Smith was for the
State.
The assault whereby Chas. Kelley
lost a leg was committed on Wednes-
day afternoon, May %, at > O'Clock. at
the Harvey camps at Trout brook.
Kelly was employed as a teamstcr and
Mckenzie was Il common Woodsman.
Mckenzie, it is said. had been drinking
heavily during the day but his victim
was not under the influence of liquor.
The witnesses at the trial said that
the whiskey was bought by Mckenzie
from man who had stolen four quarts
from a store at Scbois branch, and had
come into the camp to sell it.
From the reports Of the lumbermcn
it is evident that there had been a
e
tween the two men for some time aud
often, they say, this was seen by the
frequent quarrels. on the day of the
assault they had several. as the men
themselves say, spats, and had clinched
twice. After the second encounter
Kelley went into the camp While Nc
Kcnzie went and procured an axe.
After getting an axe, the testimony
showed that Mckenzie stood at the
door with the weapon in his hand and
called for Kelly to come out, which H.
did. No sooner has he gotten outside
Of the door than he was struck down by
Mckenzie. the axe nearly severing his
leg from the body. Mckenzie was now
cruzed and raised the axe to STRIKE
again, but he was held by woodsman
until Kelly was taken into the camp
and the door was barred.

that the Senate finance committee had

views on the money question had seen
fit to raise controverted questions Of

it forced those who differed from the

ohryaanthemums were planted along q
tall, tight board fence, and along In
front of the plants, about six feet from
the fence, lay a long, heavy sill. AS
soon as heavy frOsts and freezes began
20 hang in the air, sashes were laid
from the sill to the top Of the fence,
and, later, the ends were boarded up,
with o very narrow door, the width OF
one plank only in each end. This gave
space beside the fence for two or three
rows Of the choioer ohrysanthemums
and shelf along the fence held row
Of potted ones. The taller varieties were
planted in the back row, so that the
effect from the front was very pretty
indeed, showing q mass Of flowers close
to the glass. The flowers opened nicely
here in spite Of frost and cold. The
problem Of watering was solved by
propping up the sashes on bright days
and ventilation could be managed either
in this same way, or, in rainy weather.
by opening one Of the doors. The sashes
are stored away in summer while the
plants are growing In winter, after the
Chrysanthemum tops are dead, the space
is filed with viOlets, with pots Of car
nations and tea roses on the shelf, the
latter not for bloom, but for storage
after they have bloomed their strength
away in the house. l am inclined to
think that in such a structure, here in
our climate, carnations and tea roses
would bloom very we'll all winter, and
it would be an ideal place for blooming

All root and fruit pits should have
good drainage provided, IL they are not
On a naturally drained site.
In burning all weeds, trimmings and
other rubbish in and around the berry
patch, many insects and fungi are hap
PLY disposed Of.
A mulch Of manure ON the raspberry
patch is good for next season crop, but
1t should not be so heavy near the plants
as to furnish harbor for field mice, be-
meath which they can dig down and eat
the roots.
CurrantE. Faspberries and blaCkberries
may well be planted in the fall. The
reason for this is that small fruits usu-
ally start TO grow very early In the
spring before it is possible to get them

Fruit and Flower Notes.

For pruning apple trees one Kansas
Orchardist prefers the months OF No
vember and December after the wood
has matured and the tree is dormant.
It is reported that the apple crop this
year is IS, 900, 900 barrels smaller than
that Of last year and 4S, 900, 900 below
that Of two years ago.
Spring or fall planting Of trees is q
matter Of several considerations, but
chiefly of climate. Professor Gard Of
Missouri has found that the fall planted
trees made some root growth in the au-
tumn succeeding planting and in the
spring before the leaves started.
The Worcester is a promising yellow
peach that made it's debut at the recent
American institute show, It is Of large
size and is claimed to be a perfect free
stone and Of excellent favor and quail
ity. 1t is worth keeping an eye upon.
Nitrate Of soda is sometimes applied
to house plants when the foliage begins
to look yellowish. An ounce in a gallon
Of water is a strong enough solution,
and it should not be used oftener than
every two weeks.
Use insect powder or tobacco dust If
the house plants are infested with the
little white fly.
DeCiduous trees, vines and shrubs
may be planted either in fall or spring

ther says that roots Of common varieties
like Snyder and Prolific can be cut into
one and one-half to two inch pieces In
a common lever handle cutting box,
while varieties Of which it is wished TO
cut every root to best advantage are
best cut with a sharp budding knife or
jackknife.
The pieces Of root after being thus
prepared are placed in shallow boxes
(soap boxes which can be purchased at
the grocery store are as convenient as
any, in alternate layers of roots and
sharp sand, taking care that the sand
is not Too moist, nor so dry as to cause
the roots to dry out. The greatest dam
ger is in getting the sand too moist,
causing the ends of the roots to decay
instead Of forming a Callus. The cellar
in which the boxes are stored should Of
course be free from frost. About the
middle Of the winter it is good plan to
examine the roots in the boxes to see
that they are in good condition.

How to Insure Shrubs Against Cold

How to Insure Shrubs Against Cold
and Weight of Snow.
It may seem q very simple matter to
"do up" q shrub so that 1t will be prop
erly protected from the cold Of winter.
According to a Country Gentleman cor
respondent, however, winter protection
Is a matter that requires considerable
skill. Cold is one of the things to be
guarded against, the weight Of snow in
winter must be foreseeh and care exer-
Cised lest the shrub be greatly injured
in the wrapping process by the break
ing Of many brittle branches. Therefore
he proposes the following plan:
The cut given herewith shows the
proper way to begin. Select a smooth,

the center Of the bush. Now draw the
branches all carefully together and tie
them to the stake with a soft bit Of
cord, as shown.
A layer Of straw can now be wrapped
about the shrub, bringing the bottom Of
the straw well out upon the ground, to
protect the roots as much as possible.
The whole can now be covered With
burlap and tied or sewed tightly. The
top is then a point, on which snow can
not lodge, while the stake supports the
bush when the winds blow. In this way
there ID little danger Of breaking any Of
the branches, either in covering or IN
covering the shrubs, while greater pro
lection iS secured by bringing the limbs
close together.
