own large warehouses and office. Our
books and papers were saved from the
fire, but any one who has ever seen
anything saved from fire knows how
thoroughly scattered everything gets,
and our case was no exception. After
considerable searching large amount
of the matter was found and is here

In transplanting tree it should be
at a time when it is dormant, or as
near so as we can get it. An orange
tree has several seasons of growth;

would be no perceptible growth, and
that in the growing season too; then it
would start again. | have had them

longer at rest than at any other sea-
son.
Very recently a friend here remark
ed that he would not plant his trees
till February; if they were planted this
fall new, tender growth would start,
and there would be danger Of it's being
killed by frost.
Let us see how that works in prac-
tice-theory and practice often differ
much. In transplanting a tree all of
the little thread-like fibre roots, at the
outer end of which is a little mouth,
called Sponjole that drinks in the
food for the tree, are killed; the tree
has no source of food supply until new
feeding roots are formed, and there is
never any growth again till those
roots begin to come. AS soon as they
do, this little mouth drinks up the food

The first president of the Florida
State Horticultural Society declared he
would never house an orange tree;
that where mature trees needed 10 be
housed they should never be planted
There is no sentiment whatever about
this matter. Will it pay to cultivate
orange trees, to irrigate them, to prune
and spray and mulch them? 1t is

and this was probably what Mr..
Adams had in mind.
Some of the wealthy winter residents
of Florida and California might per-
hapS incur expenses upon their groves,
out Of ineXperience and ambition,
which could not be justified from a
purely business standpoint But Ital-
ians, after an experience of hundreds
of years and living right among their
groves all the year round could not
fairly be accused of any amateur va
carries.
The expenses which the Italian
growers incur are enormous They not
only fertiliZe as heavily as our grow
ers, for their soil has been depleted by
hundreds of years cultivation, but
they protect and irrigate in addition.
General Sanford was told by an ac-
Quaintance in Sicily, an Englishman
who had recently purchased a 2O-acre
grove, that it had cost him $4,000 in
gold when ready for planting. His ir-
rigatiOn was by steam power; an Eng

One of his friends cleared up $4S,-

was years ago. before Florida and Cal
ifOrnia had come forward as cOmpeti
tors. But northern Europe still re-
mains to Italy as a market, doubtless
compensating her for the loss Of Amer
lea.
The protection required in Sicily is
against the African siroccos, which
wither and burn the fruit, some years
destroying hundreds of thousands of
boxes But it is in irrigation that the
heaviest expense is incurred. This
most expensive method consists in

Everyone at all interested in Florida
and her development hopes that pro-
lection of orange trees may not be ne
cessary, and that oranges may, as
heretofore, be grown in the open. At
the same time it is the best policy to
take no chances, and even if the
sheds and tents provided cor protec-
tion prove unnecessary the grower can
look upon the money spent in the same
light he looks upon premiums paid On
fire insurance policies.

SHAW ON THE RESULT.
Declares the Campaign Was a Presi-
dental One.

Iowa Gapital: Governor Shaw was
in his office yesterday morning at the
stale house busily at work with mat
tiers which have accumulated during
his absence during the state campaign.
He was frequently interrupted with
callers who had come to extend con-
.gratulations and show their apprecia--
ton of the magnificent endorsement
which the people of the state had Civ
en- to his administration. The govern
or, however, was very prompt in all
that was said to seek to place the cred
it elsewhere than upon his own merits.
To u representative of the Capital he
expressed himself as abundantly salts
fed with the results. He said that it
'had been n presidential campaign
fought out twelve months in advance,
and that the verdict was Il complete
vindication of President McIlinley's
administration. He said further that
the people of Iowa are to be congratu-
lated, not because of his election to the
office of governor, but because of the
triumph of republicanism. He also said
he felt like congratulating the demo-
gratis themselves that having attempted
to carry the country on false issue,
they had been overwhelmingly defeat
ed. The result OF this election ought
to teach the opposition that democrats
like Henry Watterson are safer leaders
than those who are democrats only

er may print or stamp his name on
the front of these cards; but with
this exception the front of ordinary
printed cards must be reserved for the
address exclusively.
So much annoyance has been caused
by charges of additional charges of
postage in foreign countries on cards
of various kinds upon which senders in
the United States supposed that they
had prepaid the postage in full, that
it is deemed proper to call the atten-
ftion of postmasters to the conditions
which it is necessary to observe in or
der to avoid additional postal charges
at destination; and especially to the
fact that letter postage is chargeable
upon private mailing cards which 90
not bear upon the front-in addition
to any other print--the words Postal
Cards Cartepostale;;" and that ordi-
nary printed cards which bear on the
front any words other than the adj
dress and the name and address (print-
ed or stamped) of the sender, are like
wise chargeable with letter postage.
Postmasters will please give this
matter as much publicity as possible.

Filipino Treaclbery.

Des Moines, Nov. 13.-The boys of
the 51st, out of their experience in 1.-The
Philippines, gave testimony Thursday
night at the banquet of the character
of the Tagalos they have been fighting
in Luzon. They were asked to say
whether or not the insurgents tried to
trap the American soldiers by the use
of flag of truce; whether or not
they fired on the wounded and on am
balances, and whether or not they mu-
tilate the dead. All of these questions
were answered in the affirmative by
eye witnesses. One told how an Amer
lean soldier, left dead on the field, was
tied to horses tail and dragged
through the streets of Quingua, to be
found that night in a mudhole when
the town was captured by the United
States troops. Another told how
young Wegener, formerly of Company
L, of Council Bluffs, was killed in de-
tense of an ambulance after he had
volunteered as veteran in the Thirty
sixth regiment of regulars. Capt. Kill
bonn, of Company A, gave an instance
of how the Filipinos tried to lure some
American officers to their death by a
white flag, and how the officers only
escaped humiliation at short range by
dropping quickly to the ground. Plen-
|ty of such stories We're told, proving

church to make. the address OF well
come. The reverend gentleman step
ped to the front of the stage and began
by going back to the days OF Magellan,
telling of when he left Spain and of his
discovery of the Philippine islands, the
islands thereby becoming part of
Spain, and being under it's rule. He
told of the misrule that has followed,
the low class of government the people
have had, the lack of religious liberty,
and the divers things that have made
the country come to the war point. He
led his audience along in a nice and
interested manner, and said when the
Spanish fleet was destroyed Spain lost
her power and we came in possession
of it, and the world looks upon this
country to see that the articles of the
treaty of peace shall be lived up to and
carried out to the letter. The treaty
called for good government, religious
freedom and protection of life, and,
said the speaker, '.the United States
will see that the articles of the treaty
are carried out" He said the Philip
pines We're now not so far away from
the United States as Ohio used to be
considered from Massachusetts, and he
gave the good people the statement,
"The Philippines are as much u part
of these states as the state of Iowa"
He told of the actions of Aguinaldo,
of his selling out his own people for u
sum of money and going to China.
There the American squadron found
him and they gave him passage to the
Philippines and it was but the course
of few weeks until he had gathered
troops and they had fired upon the
American boys. The gentleman look
ed upon it that it was then the duty
of the American people to put down
the insurrection and they would do so.
| lean flag and gone unpublished. He
told of Aguinaldo organizing his troops
outside of the city of Manila and plan
ming to murder all save Filipinos in the
city on one night. He said some people
had classed the soldier boys as muir
derers in fighting that country--they
were not-they We're putting down the
instruction and it meant religious lib
erty, law and order. They went forth
in a righteous cause, and the Hiteman
boys, nor any of the best of them could
be classed as murderers. The boys had
fought nobly in, the defense of the flag
and order would be maintained in the
Philippines. He told of the volunteer
soldier going to war, not for gain, nor
for honor, but to fight for the flag and
they would win in this cause, peace
would be maintained, and seven mil
lion people will enjoy the government
as Iowa does and there will be justice,
light, truth and all that it means to
live under the flag. The speaker said
he had helped in one war to keep it
from being severed, and turning to
the soldiers he said, "On behalf of the

Did Ro.e,nan suicide !

Montezuma, Nov. 13.-There seems to
some foundation for the suicide ru-
mors in the now noted Roseman case,
for it is pretty generally known that
had he lived twenty-four hours longer
criminal proceedings against him
would have been commenced. The
matter was placed in the hands of at
torneys the day before he died. AS to
his abstract. business, it seems he made
two kinds of them. Those made to
perfect titles on land to be sold were
made by an expert abstracter. who has
been in Mr.. Roseman's employ the
past two years, and these are said to
be correct and reliable, but those made
for the purpose of obtaining loans on
land were made by Mr.. Roseman him
self, and many of them are false. New
ertheless, the abstract books he used
are said to be perfectly correct and re-
liable.

against the six and seven per cent in

There are other many interesting

Enanent, except that of the geographic
'cal center which will likely remain the
same until the partition of China
takes place unless we annex Canada.
The geographical center of the United
States, 3,602,990 square miles, eXclud-
ing Alaska and our new possessions, is
in Northwestern Kansas, midway be-
tween Wakeeney and Hill City. The
center of population is, however, far
east of this, being fifteen miles west of
Columbus, Ind, having moved to that
point by easy stages from near Bal
timore, where it was in the closing
years of the last century, and it is still

For a FRI Emit EXHIBIT.

Ames, Nov. 13.-The agricultural and
horticultural experiment stations in
the college have just completed the coll
lection of specimens of fruits and veg
etables which are to represent Iowa
products in those lines at the Paris
exposition. The specimens selected are
sent to Mrs. Stanley Potter, at William
cite, Conn, who will make wax casts
of them and paint them in natural col
ors. This system is the one adopted
by the American government for the
representation of our products and,
it is expected, will prove very satisfac-
tory. At present the collection sent
from this state is larger than those
contributed by any other state in the
union,
