Hardness of Tree,

From Farmers' Review: The De-
partnent Of Horticulture haA for sev-
erd years been cooperating with the
division Of forestry OF the Department
Of Agriculture to test the hardness
OF trees produced from seeds sent from
various sections of the country. north
and south, east and west. The seeds
were planted In plats having the same
soil and exposure and have been sub
1ected to the same conditions. On
March Z. 1898, notes were made on the
effects Of the winter upon the trees.
and some striking facts were revealed.
AZ . rule no injury was to be noted
from the winter on trees grown from
seed sent from states either north or
west Of this point. On the other hand.
trees from seed sent in from points
southesst Of this were very generally
injured from the cold. The injury
varied with both the species Of trees
and the location. Black walnut show
ed the greatest injury Of any species
and was most affected when the seed
had come from the southeastern coast
region-Georgia and Alabama. This
point, besides being Of scientific inter
est Ia showing the decided effect Of
climate on the constitutionality Of
plants, has also q practical value for
the tree planter. 1t shows that trees
from seed grown at southeastern points
must suffer more or less when subject
ed to this climate, and suggests that
young trees transplanted from the
same regions would be even more
seriously affected. Further expert
msnts along the same line are in prog

For this reason he deals in generalities

but four Of his eight troops, two only
OF these being with him personally. "
The most important events Of the day
for the cavalry followed the capture Of

says: "When the men got their wind.
we charged again and carried the sec,

Swinging to the left. we then drove the
Spaniards over the brow Of the chain Of
hills fronting on Santiago" Bearing In
mind that this is the official report Of
the rough riders by their commanding
officer, 1t must be taken as meaning
that the rough riders carried the Sec
end line" and "drove the Spaniards
over the brow" In his second report
Colonel Roosevelt says that after Fort
San Juan was taken large force was
assembled on "Kettle" hill, not only Of
HE own regiment, but of the Ninth and
portions, Of other regiments This is
well known. He then states: 1--WE then
charged forward under a heavy FIRE

several prisoners. He received orders

he had fragments of the Sixth cavalry

riders numbered $40 and lost 81 in all.
making about 476 on duty. But there
were other troopers than the Sixth and
rough riders with Roosevelt at the time.
Either Roosevelt is confused as to the
order Of events or he and his rough rid
ers had nothing to do with the capture
of the second ridge, or San Juan hill,
He places his rush forward after Par
ker's Gatlings opened on Fort San Juan.
At that hour the cavalry advance was
rushing along the swale toward the Sec
ond ridge. Roosevelt says that when he
saw the Spaniards abandon Fort San
Juan he called upon his men to charge
the hills in front, that is, north San
Juan ridge His details of what follow
ed, coming from the colonel Of the regi-
ment reported to have done wonders
that day, need no comment. Roosevelt
jumped q fence and went on alone,
thinking the men would follow, but at
the end Of 100 yards found he had but
five rough riders with him. He told
them to stay where they were while he

to be led forward, but Roosevelt want

M Beyond Their GeneratlOn. Vi IA
@ Jim Smiley has studied the character
ana idiosyncrasies Of the coal mine. Jim
believes an old mine mule has moro than
Morse sense and In some cases 10 gifted
With second sight. Jim drove d white
mule for Captain w. b. Rodgers Of tho
Tide Coal company that had this faculty,
and owing to his exercise Of II Jim 10 able
70 relate some Of his wondrous experiences
With mine mules. The mule, Jim says,
has scriptural authority for seeing things
shat his drivers cannot zee, and cites the
etory of Balaam and the mule ancestor,
u corroboration Of his theory.
The particular mule that Captain Rodg-
srs owned was noted for his light heeled
rroclivities and his general objection to
going the way he was directed. Ono
morning Jim Smiley was taking trip Of
oars into cross entry that had some Of
the pillars ribbed" This slightly weak
ened the roof. and, although timbers had
been put In to support the root, II; had be-
gun to ''creep." Jim shouted few
"cuss" words at the mule, and, calling
him by an opprobrious name, invited him
TO "gwan." He started OIL in good style
until the cross entry was reached. Here
he stopped. Jim insisted that the mule
proceed. The mule switched his tail.
Jim applied his black snake whip, which
he unwound from his shoulders for the
purpose.
m Force and persuasion were unavailing.
Jim got behind the mine car and pushed
1t against the mule. The animal held
back. Jim pushed harder, and the mule
toppled over into the car. Jim could not
get the mule out Of the Car and was forced
TO get another mule and pull the wise
mule to the side track, where 1t was high
enough to jump him out Of the pit car.
n Jim took the, borrowed mule and went
back into the cross entry, and when he
arrived at the point where the wise mule
had stopped he found that q fall Of roof
had occurred In his absence, completely
closing the entry. Had Jim succeeded in
driving the mule beyond the place of the
''hold up" both he and the mule would
have been entombed. Jim says no man
knows as much as pit mule, and they
don't talk so much either.-Pittsburg

handing the division, and asked II hs
(Roosevelt) might make the charge.
According to Roosevelt, Sumner told
him to 60 ahead, and he (Sumner)
would see that the men followed. Just
what men be meant is uncertain. Sum-
ner had already ordered the First caval.
~ and battalion of the Third to re.
main on "Kettle' hill. The Sixth was
moving up the hill in touch with the
infantry. and a battalion Of the Third
was climbing the slope In front Of "Ket'
tie" bill while Roosevelt was going
through these motions evidently to get
his own regiment into shape.
Roosevelt finally got to the crest Of
San Juan ridge Meanwhile the Third
cavalry had formed a line in the V
shaped ridge or salient, subsequently
called Rough Riders hill, but which
they did not capture. Roosevelt says he
had mixed force and about 80 of his
own men. This corresponds to the state
ment Of Captain Morton of the Third
cavalry. Morton became senior on the
front lire by the wounding Of Major
Vessels and went along the crest from
right to left to find out his strength

p. m. A soldier Of the regiment who
had been on duty at headquarters went
In search of the command that night
and reached it's colonel and all there
was Of the regiment about 10 O'Clock
He said that what surprised him most
was that there were $50 few rough
riders there" In his mind the rough
riders should muster 500, barring the
fallen. Aa
Now the rough riders lost on July 1
and Q. 81 killed and wounded. They did
their share Of facing Mausers and earned
a share In the glory. The regulars &C.
cord them this willingly. But the true
story Of the rough riders is yet to be
written. Their colonel has made three
attempts at it, but he apparently saw
little Of what the regiment was doing
as a regiment on July /. Yet he
was colonel over 500 men as good and
brave as ever stood behind gun.

The Mahaska Association.

There was called meeting of the
Mahaska County Association at the
supervisors room in the court house
last evening. 1t had been the pur-
pose of the meeting that there should
be an election of officers for the com.
ing year. 1t has been the case that
there have been in attendance at the
meetings of the association people Of
the city and all were members of the
Oskaloosa board of trade and q
small number of the people of the
country members from the near town
ships. There was quite a lengthy
discussion on the subject, and it was
decided that it would be better foI
the organizations in question if the
Mahaska County Association were
merged into the Board of Trade or
the condition that the Board of Trade
would take up the line of work that
had been undertaken by the associa
Ition-that is, in making identical the
interests of the country and the town
This is on a broader line than the
board has been working, and if the
work is undertaken it will greatly in
crease the usefulness of the board
The matter was put in the hands o.
a committee and will be brought be
fore the Board of Trade at meeting
that will be called for Monday even
ing. There were some other bust
ness matters discussed, but these
shall be referred to the Board o.

The new ordinance establishing
some grades for streets was gone over
but it was not placed on the first

Short On Engines

Marshalitown Times Republican
Engineer Link Porter and fireman
Burt Howarth, of the Central, brought
to the city late Wednesday afternoon
from Osk aloosa the crippled Baldwin
consolidation engine, No. so, that
blew out cylinder head a day or so
ago. The immense engine will be
made ready for use again Just as soon
as possible. No one but the Gel trail
officials in the operating department
know the situation that now exists
on the road, as concerns the power.
The business has been such for the
past few months that the company
has had to work all of its engines
with no rest night and day. There
are only two engines now used by
the four crews on the l and 2 pas
senger runs, between Mason City and
Ottumwa, and the engine that runs
north in the evening, that ordinarily
gets a rest over night at Mason City,
is sent on to Northwood with some
extra freight. The shortage of en-
gines has also been such in some in
stances as to keep an engine on the
road from Mason City to Peoria, back
again to this city and without rest on
to Mason City and back to OUtumwa,
making one continuous run. The six
new freight engines that have been
ordered from the Baldwin people
will relieve the trouble to a great ex-
tent, and they can't arrive any too
quickly to suit the company.

CHICAGO COFFEE SALOONS.
Ten coffee saloons are to be opened
in Chicago early this fall and if these
are successful, the number will soon
be increased to 80. They will sell
coffee, tea, lemonade and other non.
alcoholic beverages, and light free
lunches will be feature. They will
be distributed where they will do the
most good as competitors of the
liquor saloons, and where they are
needed, will be open all night, with
good cheer for all corners.
The coffee saloons will be under
the auspices and control ofthe Young
Peoples Temperance Federation
which will be able to spend 81 800 a
month for their maintenance at the
start and more later, the amount be.
ing the voluntary contributions oil

cieties of the city. The places are
to be run by private individuals and
for profit, and will be financially as,
sisted only until their business is es.
tablished. The Federation reserves
the right to purchase back the places
when not conducted according to its
wishes.
The theory of the coffee saloon is
to provide the social and other at
fractions of the saloon with its tempt
ations to strong drink; that, as a man
will often go to drinking fountain
in preference to saloon, so he will
in many cases seek the physical COM
forts of the saloon in a temperance
resort.
The experiment will be watched
with great interest by all who are
following the developments of mod
ern social and economic thought.

A New Hall.

Oskaloosa has a new hall for large
gatherings and the like that is new
aad neat and it is predicted that il
wilt soon make itself immensely
popular. The new place is in the
Winter Block at the corner of High
avenue and B street and will be known
as the Winter Hall.
The dimensions of the hall are
40xsO including toilet rooms. The
arrangement of the place is conven.
lent and the appearance is decidedly
neat and attractive. The entrance is
on the west side. There are toilet
rooms for gentlemen and ladies' and
large orchestra platform at the
north end. Ventilation and light
could not be improved on and the
floor will be the best dance floor in
the city.
Mr.. Winter states that he has now
booked enough dates for the winter
to make the place more than pay for
the improvements that have been
placed on it and there is an abnnd-
ance OF room for other parties, etc.
Oskaloosa has had to suffer for the
lack of sufficient places of this sort
for number of years and the Winter
Hall in this sense fills long felt
want ,,
