Sale Postponed.

The sale of the Auburn Wagon Works,
which was begun in front Of the Court
House on Saturday afternoon, was post
poned until today Saturday, at the same
time. One of the principal reasons OF the
postponement was a mistake made during
the crying of the sale.
Mr.. Geo. w. Buxton bid $4,000, and
Auctioneer Dodd was asking for a $4,000
bid, when he noticed Mr.. ]. H. Gettinger,
who was conversing with several gentle
men, nod his head. Mr.. Dodd took this
for a bid and went on a~uctioneering UNI
til he found out that he had made a mis-
take.
The commissioners would not let the
plant go for $4,000 and as no higher bid
was given the sale was postponed.

Mr.. Ritchter, a patent gate agent. who

Monday evening, came near having a SER

the lightning struck two telegraph poles
and the splinters off the poles were thrown
upon the horses. They were badly fright

gone a short distance he succeeded in
getting control of them.

Connected.

The Winchester Telephone Co. has just
completed a line from Hedgesville to
North Mountain and those two places are
now connected by phones.
The work or the line from here to
Hedgesville is progressing slowly. Only
about n third of the poles have been
erected and the work of stretching the
wires will not be commenced until all of
the poles have been planted. One Of
the reasons given for slow progress on
the line is that the farmers, who have the
contract for furnishing the poles. are
busy at this season and have not the time
to haul them.

of him.
This letter may be lesson to some
of the wives of ambitious young men
who are aspiring to congressional hon
ors You must understand that Col
Henderson is one of the most domestic
men in the land; man who loves his
family devotedly. And yet, like others
who possess superior ability and who
forge to the front in national affairs,
he is busy from the moment his eyes
open in the morning until they close
at night; and when he Yields the gavel
of speaker he will be buster than ever,
and all of his time will belong to the
people and their representatives.
The life of this popular congressman,
as stated at the beginning, is simply
type OF The life of each man who at
tains prominence. 1t was the same
with Lincoln, Garfield, Harrison, Me-
Kinley, and every man who has served
in congressional life, before attaining
the highest office. And even in the
white house there is no relief, for the
presidents time is constantly taken
up with national affairs, and his fam
| lily can see little of him.
But Col. Henderson will never be
president, because he was not born in
this country. He was born in Scot
land; and although he came to this
country as little boy, and served in the
federal army, he cannot be president
But he is fit for it, anyway.

at home in Dubuque that they have him

they do love him much, and enjoy his
splendid, congenial, affectionate com

Is il any wonder then that this low
ing, loyal little woman should say that
she will be proud of his advancement
to the great position of speaker of the

you must understand that while the
time of the popular congressman is
taken up by his duties, and by his call

demands upon his time will be multi
piled more than hundredfold.

Value of an HonOred Trade Name Up
held by the United states
Circuit Court.

The California Fig Syrup Co., of San
Francisco, has just won legal victory
which is of utmost public interest, as il
establishes judicially a fact long recog.
nized ethically that the name or the
title of an article is valuable property
entitled to the same protection as chat
tells or commercial paper. The COM
pany mentioned manufactures an ex-
cellent laxative which has been extern
sively advertised and acquired a valu-
able reputation under the name SYRUP
of Figs" or Fig Syrup" Trading on
the reputation of this remedy other
manufacturing concerns applied the
same name to laxative medicines made
by them. The California Fig Syrup
Co. took the matter in the United States
courts and obtained a permanent in
junction, of which the following is the
text:
ut is thereupon ordered. adjudged and
decreed, that the injunction and restrain
ing order heretofore made herein be con-

This decision is of far-reaching inn
portance to all manufacturers whose
products bear a recognized title, as well
as a protection to the public whose con-
idence naturally rests in large meas
ure upon the name of the goods it buys.

BEET SUGAR.
Germany's Success In This Industry
Great announcement to
This Country.

Germany's success with beet sugar
as shown by official reports, has been
so marvellous as TO justify fully the
hopes of the agricultural department
for the future of the industry in this
country. In the 20 years from 1878 to
1895 the beet acreage of Germany in
creased from 25s,s09 to 1,o54,229 The
harvest per acre has averaged from IL
to IA tons, ranging from 81 / 70 $73 per
acre, or several times the value of the
wheat crop. While the number of fac
tories has increased only from 329 to
401, or less than % per cent, and while
the refineries have actually been re-
duced from Ga to "a, the total produc-
ton of raw sugar and molasses has
jumped from 3s3, s2s tons in 1878 to
1,725, 900 tons in 1898.
Thus it will be seen that, while the
acreage is four times as great, the pro
duction is five times as much as 20years
ago. This remarkable result has been
achieved by improved processes of man
ufacture, so that, while in 1875 it took
II tons of beets to make a ton of raw
sugar, only seven tons were required
| 90 years later. Then Germany inn
ported 1915 tons of refined sugar and
exported 1921 tons of raw, while now
the refined sugar imports are only 7o7
tons and the exports of raw have
jumped to 1,O33.262 tons, in spite of the
fact that the per capita of consump-
ton has risen from Is pounds in 1875
to % pounds in 1898.
1t is also worth noticing that beet
sugar is great revenue producer, hav-
ing contributed to the imperial treas.
ury last year $24, 007, POS in taxes. Beets
can be raised in the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys quite as well as in
Germany.

At the New York state dairy meeting
Prof. H. Ii. Dean, of the Ontario Agri-
cultural college, said that cheese is
only about half made when on the cur
ing shelf. Curing is a fermenting proc
ess, and the temptation is 10 hurry it
too much. He advised taking sufficient
time to ripen il properly, and this
could be done only by the control of
heat. He would locate the curing room
on the north side of the building, and
away from drains or sources of bad
odors. II should be entirely insulated.
He would construct the floors and walls
so as to have an air space all around it,,
and provide it with double windows and
doors. The cost of building a room of
this kind would be from $3.50 to $3.50, ac-
cording to size.

1t is universally agreed that a heavy
clay soil is best for the pear. There are
various reasons for this, the principal
one being that clay soil is always rich
in mineral fertilizers, while sandy or
gravelly soil is deficient in this kind of
plant food. But the clay soil, though
rich in phosphates and potash, may not
have them in available form, and may
need dressing in spring of these min
erals in available form. Trees on clay
may need dressings of available potash
and phosphate in the years when the
tree is bearing. On sandy soil the pear
tree always needs these manures. The
pear roots deeply, so that it is never
affected by droughts, and in clay soils
it doubtless draws mineral fertilizers
from the subsoil below where the roots
of grain and other crops usually grow
1t is a great mistake TO allow the tap
root of pear tree to be cut off before
it is transplanted.-Am Guilt

The yinager Knew Him.

When he was so he returned to his
native town, "just to see how the old
place looked" He found it unchanged
The old store where, as a lad. he had
clerl<ed it, and sold calico and groceries
to the old farmers, was just the same.
He contrasted the sleepy old place with
himself and felt glow of satisfaction
when he thought how much those 30
years had done for him. "They ought
to be proud of me- he said to himself.
Presently he met one of the old inhabit
ants. "Wall, l declare, is il RELY you,
Hank ?" said the old man incredulous-
". "We've heerd you've been prosper
ing fust rate sense you went west
They've made you railroad president,
or suthin' of the sort. amt they?
heerd so, but l couldn't believe it. It's
REILLY true, is it? Wall, all I've got to
say is, they must be purity hard up for

at the battle of Iuka, in 1862; there
fore it is necessary for him to take a
carriage, whereas men who are not
thus afflicted would walk, or take
street cars.
Usually by noon all of these errands
are attended to, and Col. Henderson is
in his committee room at the capitol,
attending to public duties there. When
the gavel of the speaker falls, calling
the house to order at noon, he is in his
seat on the floor of the house, and there
he remains, participating in public de-
bates on all questions. For the COM
mittee on rules he often appears, to
state the policy of the majority con-
corning pending bills, and his utter
ances are always lucidly delivered and
we'll received.
The house generally remains in ses-
sion until half-past five or six o'clock,
and, when adjournments are taken, Col.
Henderson goes at once to the hotel,
where he has supper with his wife and
daughter, remaining with them until
about eight o'clock, when he goes to
his office room in the hotel, to write
letters to those who have required him
to visit the departments in the morn
ing. He is generally engaged in this
work until about ten o'clock at night.
In the meantime from five to twenty
men have called and been seen, all of
them having requests to make, which
will require some of his time and at
tention the next day. So, you see, the

TO keep him going all the time; and
he never dreams of such a thing as
limiting his days work to eight hours.
That would be impossible.
Well. when ten o'clock at night ar
rives, one would suppose that the man
was entitled to a little bit of rest and
sleep. But things are different here.
About Ten o'clock at night the politi-
clans begin to hold conferences about
pending bills, Col. Henderson is always
wanted in these councils, and they
usually last until midnight or one
o'clock in the morning.
During such conferences as these it
was decided that war with Spain should
be deferred until we could get powder,
shot and supplies for the army navy.
Tt was also decided that the congress
should vote $50, oOo, 900 for the national
defense" in order that the president
might hasten preparations for the in
evitable 1t was decided that prelim-
mary work should be done on the fnan-
cial bill which is TO be passed next
winter Thus these midnight confer
ences prepare important legislation:
and Col. Henderson has left his impress
on all important measures for nearly
20 years in just such conferences.
Well, this is a sample of the way the
days are spent. in constant grind of
brilliant effort and consistent work.
The reader win grasp at once the fact
that popular congressman cannot
find time for pleasure or recreation
while the congress is in session.
Now what has Mrs. Henderson been
doing ali this time? She cannot have
her husband with her to lunch at mid
day. She cannot see him from break

not have him with herin the evening, TO

ARRANGEMENT OF FOREST RE

acres so as TO make the least danger
from the spread of forest fires, as
shown in Fig. ..
Should it be practicable to reserve
only one-quarter of the tillable land IN
forest areas, then with quarter section
homesteads the reservation which
would secure the most equitable dis
tribution of forest influence and leave
the woods themselves at least danger
from fire would be to reserve the north
east quarter of the northwest quarter
and the southeast quarter of the north
east quarter in the north half of every
section, and the southwest quarter of
the southeast quarter of the south half
of the same section, as shown in Fig. l..
Then if systematic forestry is at all
worthy of encouragement by the state,
one simple method of doing so would be
to make certain requirements of the
owners of the land, and as a compensa-
ton for these requirements exempt the
forested areas from taxation for peri
cd of 90 or 40 years as seemed most de-
sirable, on condition that the require
ments are fulfilled. Such a system
would decrease the cost of the forest
crop, which is necessarily large on ac-
count of the great length of time re-
quired to bring it to maturity
