pains to mark each hives stand. To d,
this without trouble, we leave the cal
O cover with the roof over it in the ex

absolutely necessary to keep the combs
from molding, if the cellar is at al
damp.
We pile the hives in the cellar, two
or three Or even four tiers high, usually
putting the lower tier on timbers
raised a foot or so from the ground. We
have always noticed that the colonies
nearest the ground were the ones that
suffered, if any did.
After the hives are in, darkness, quiet
ness, a proper temperature and a suf-
ficient amount of ventilation are all
that are necessary. For these hives. as
days, it is a great point to have every
thing perfectly quiet. The man who
will disturb his bees every other day,
just to see whether they are still alive,
will be unsuccessful, if the circum-
stances are at all unfavorable, for it is
very easy to kill the bees with too much
kindness of this sort.
To give air without light to our bee
cellar we have devised a sort of blind,
q picture of which is here shown, taken
from "Langstroth Revised.
The time of removal of the bees in
the spring is Of utmost Importance to
consider. If they are taken out too
early, they may not have occasion to
fly much. and their power of endurance
during a late cold seems to have been
taken away from them by their pro-
longed stay in the cellar. They are very
much like a horse that is kept in a
warm barn. He is more apt to. be fret
full of the cold and to suffer than one
that stays all winter in a cold stable.
Yet u sympathies are all in the direc-
tion of the softer treatment. With the
bees there was on our part, as in the
fall, a tendency to be too much afraid
OF a long confinement. I believe it was
DIR. Miller who said the best time to re-
move the bees from the cellar was in
March or April, at the opening Of the
first buds Of soft maple bloom. This is
q very good criterion.
But, above all things, a warm day
must be selected to remove the bees
from their confinement. If you take
them out on a cold day, their anxious
desire to take a flight will induce them
to venture when the temperature is too
low for their safety, and many of them
will perish. If the day is warm and

Making a Hotbed.

The American Cultivator tells that
the right way in preparing a hotbed is
to make a stout frame of heavy plank
and sink this into the ground a foot or
more deep. All the part below the sur
face should be filed with horse manure
and soil to the depth of five or six
inches should cover this. The frame
should front to the south, and it's e
side should be six inches higher than
it's front. It is likely that for a time
the horse manure will make the soil
above it too hot to grow good plants.
But after it has cooled down the hot
bed made now will give much better
satisfaction than n hurriedly put up
only two OF three weeks before it is
needed for use.

AN AERIAL SALUTE
TO ADMIRAL DEWEY

NEW YORK, Sept. 26.-William e,
Eddy according to his own statement.
tonight broke all records in high kite
flying with colored lights attached.
Two kites, forming a tandem, with sew
enteen red, white and blue lights at
tached, were sent up by Mr.. Eddy to a
height of between 2500 and 5000 feet
from a Park Row building. Mr.. Eddy
says this is the first time that lights
have been sent up in such numbers on
kite in New York. The seventeen
lights were intended as a salute to Ad-
miral Dewey but it is doubtful If they
could be seen from where Dewey was.
At half-past 9 o'clock Mr.. Eddy sent
up the first kite, and later attached a
second kite and after his cable had
been sent up a few hundred feet the
lights were attached to it at distance
of from twenty to thirty feet apart.
They were arranged; first a red light,
then a white one and then a blue one
until the seventeen had been attached
Each light consisted of a small Ian
tern having a clear colored globe with
lighted candle inside. The lanterns
were made of cloth and We're each six
feet in diameter. Mr.. Eddy said that
the lights were at height where the

FOUR HUNDRED MINERS
ARRESTED AT NOME

TACOMA, Sept. 26.-Passengers from
Cape Nome, who arrived to-day on the
steamer Alliance, tell an interesting story
of the arrest of nearly 400 miners along
the beach at Cape Nome last month.
Claim jumping and filing on claims by
power Of attorney has caused an almost
endless amount of trouble. These causes
led the Cape Nome Mining and Develop
ment Company to lay claim to a strip of
beach ground, from which $50 miners were
washing gold. The company made COM
plant. with the result that all of these
miners were taken into custody and
marched to Anvil City.
Their claims to the ground in dispute
were to be heard together. Before action
could be taken, however, the captain of
the revenue cutter Bear heard of the diff
ficulty and came ashore. He sided with
the miners, declaring that the beach from
sixty feet above the tide line to three
miles out at sea belonged to the Govern
ment, and that he had control of it as
the Governments naval representative in
those waters. He held that one man had
as much right as another to wash gold
out of the beach and that no company
could appropriate 1t. On his orders the
beach miners were accordingly discharged

SALUTE FIRED AT
THE STATE CAPITAL

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 26.-When
news was received at o'clock this
morning of the arrival of Admiral
Dewey in New York harbor the fire
whistle was ordered by the Mayor to be
blown, and within a few minutes scores
of whistles and bells Joined in the
chorus. At 10 o'clock the adjutant
general, acting under orders from the
Governor, had fired an admirars salute
of seventeen guns. Thus Admiral
Dewey was welcomed both on the part
of the city and the State.
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 26.-On the an
nouncement of the arrival of Admiral
Dewey flags were hoisted on all the
city schools. The children were
marched out to salute the flag, and the
principals of each school made patriotic
addresses TO their pupils. Flags were
raised on the City Hall, Courthouse
and other buildings throughout the

NOME, Alaska, Sept. 13, via Seattle,
Wash. Sept 26-At meeting OF the
citizens held on September the name
of Anvil City was changed to Nome.
This was done to make the name of the
city correspond with the name of the
Postoffice, which had been Nome from
the time of its establishment.
The greatest event by far that has
taken place at Nome was the election
Of city officers yesterday. There were
about 1400 votes cast in the three wards
and excitement ran high all day and
night. Saloons We're wide open and in
the Second Ward the polling place was
in a saloon, which made it very handy
for the dry voters, and as a conse-
quence fights were quite frequent, but
no one was seriously hurt, which speaks
very well for the soldiers and town
officers. The following men were
elected:
Mayor, T. D. Cashel; Treasurer, ]. P.
Rudd; Municipal Judge, A. Rawson;
Chief of Police, w. Eddy; Councilmen,
First Ward, Charles A Pennington and
A. Lowe; Councilmen, Second Ward,
George A Wright and T. Robertson;
Councilmen, Third Ward, c. P. Dam
and j. B. Miller The result for Coun-
cilmen in the Third Ward is in doubt
The newly elected officers will receive
their salaries by levying assessments
on the business houses and property
owners. 1t was freely talked that one

at noon for Seattle with 100 passengers,
among others on board is Mr. Lind

the owners of the richest mines here.
Lindbloom is going out to lay in sup
plies for the coming season. They have
taken out a half million dollars already,
according to one Of the partners ac-
count. They expect to do much better
next year with the improvements they
will bring in
There are fully 2o00 people now look

ness is felt for fear there will not be

Coal is also scarce and unless some
is brought in soon there will be a gem
eral stampede to get out. Lumber is
now worth $3.50 per thousand, and ow-
ing to its price many cannot afford to
build suitable winter quarters. There
Will be about 1000 people to winter here.

WASHINGTON
SURPRISED
Naval officials Lose No
Time in Extending
a Welcome.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26-The Navy
Department, equally with New York,
was considerably surprised this morn
ing at the arrival of the Olympia at
Sandy Hook The first official intima-
tion that the Olympia had reached
home came in this dispatch from the
admiral
Sandy Hook, N. j.. Sept. 26.
Secretary Navy: Olympia viii go to
Tompkinsville tomorrow. DEWEY.
To this message Secretary Long re-
Piled:
Admiral Dewey, Sandy Hook: The de-
partment is happy to learn of your safe
arrival, and extends to you and to your
officers and crew most cordial welcome
home. JOHN D, LONG.
Secretary Long said this afternoon
that no definite decision had been
reached as to the admirars future
duty. He said he desired to discuss the
matter with the admiral and learn his
wishes.
1t is understood that Immediately
after the festivities at New York
formal orders will be issued detaching
the admiral from the Olympia, and he
will then be granted indefinite leave,
should he desire it.
There is no important board to which
the admiral could be assigned, and
when Long discusses the matter with
him it would not be surprising if he
should desire him to accept the post
of official adviser to the Secretary.
Upon the detachment of the admiral
the Olympia will proceed to Boston,
where she will be thoroughly repaired.
Before being placed out of commission
a board of survey will inspect her and
submit a report in regard to repairs
needed. Captain Lamberton and the
other officers will be detached and
granted leave, and as most of the crew
are short time men they will be dis
charged from the service.
1t was reported to-day that Secretary
Long had instructed Admiral Dewey to
come to Washington Immediately, but
this report is denied by officials, as is
also the report that the department is
displeased with the admiral because of
the arrival of the Olympia before the
date she was due.
After comforting with the President
and Secretary Long, Mr.. Allen, the AS
sistant Secretary of the Navy, left here
this afternoon for the purpose Of seeing
Admiral Dewey and discussing the ar
rangements for the next few days.
During the Cabinet meeting to-day
plans were matured for the official
ceremony at the Capitol, when the
President will present to Admiral
Dewey the sword awarded by Congress.
Mr.. Allen will learn the admiral's
wishes in this regard, and will go over
the several other features of the ma
tional ceremony to be carried out
when he arrives here, including the de-
tails of the dinner the President will
give to the admiral next Tuesday
night.
