EMPLOYERS WILL
REINSTATE SOLDIERS

The appeal Of the citizens executive
committee to the former employers of the
members of the California volunteers tc
reinstate the soldier boys upon their re-
turn has brought good results. The spirit
of the employers is that the men should
not suffer for their loyalty to their coun-
try. and in most cases their old situations
have been reserved for them.
The headquarters of the employment
committee at the Union-square tent has
received many encouraging communica-
tions bearing on the matter. Sachs

poral William Higgins. He can return tc

The all-Filipino wonder show. brought
direct from Manila as one of the chief
attractions of the Mechanics Fair gave
its initial performance in the Pavilion last
night and scored a pronounced success.
one of the-objeCts in putting the show on
before the opening of the fair was to
give the Oriental actors an opportunity to
accustom themselves to American audi
ences. and also to enable them to work
on the stiffness they were supposed to

across the Pacific. But if their muscles

Important to sheriffs.

An opinion of Importance to every
Sheriff in the State was handed down
yesterday by Attorney General Tirey l..
Ford. An inquiry came from Los An
geles County as to where the Sheriff
should look for the payment of the
charges for the transportation of insane
persons in his custody. 1t frequently
happens that these officers have to convey
persons of unsound mind long distances
to insane asylums to which the unfortu-
mates are committed, and the bills for
transportation often amount to consid-
erable sums. The question was whether
the mileage should be paid by the county
or the State. The matter was submitted
to the Attorney General, who replied that
under the statute these expenses men
toned should be paid by the State.

They were not mistaken.
Adams told many things which fully
confirmed the stories published in The

were concerned in the plot to do away
with Green and who robbed the steamer
Alameda.
Adams admitted that there was 500, eco

Nevada, where he engaged in farming and

In 1880 he was elected to the Nevada Leg
islature. and in 1881 he moved to this city,
which from then on became his perma-

himself in a variety of concerns, but his
pride was the magnificent vineyard which

Some Large Orchards.

The interest taken in apple growing
through the north half of Iowa during
the past five years has materialized in
the planting of a number of large com
mercial orchards. We note few of
them. Mr.. Purdy of Mason City, has an
orchard of 100 trees just coming into
bearing; Mr.. McGregor of the same
place has one of 1900 trees; L. B. Dunn
bolton of Rockford, one of 200 trees; A..
Mosier of Scott township, Floyd county,
one of 800 trees: j. w. Bird of Cerro
Gordo county, sets out one this spring
of $50 trees. The varieties planted are
mostly Wealthy, Duchess, Patten Green
ing, n. W. Greening, with some Nc
Mahon, Fameuse, and Hibernal. The
orchards planted are doing well and
looking very healthy.

The Law of ReverSiOn.

Nearly all the best things in the field,
garden and stockyard are the result of
careful selection and breeding by man
through long period of years. Thus
we have the Short Horn or Polled An
gus beef animal, or the Jersey COW, de-
veloped from an original type of beast
but little resembling them; we have our
fine corn, developed from plant but lit
tie better than weed; choice fruits of
all kinds bred from worthless native
types. A fact in connection with all
this is, that these best and improved
types, ,obedient to natural law, are
continuously seeking to revert back to
the original type, and can only be main
tanned in their excellence by the most
careful attention in selecting the best
for the purposes of propagation. Retro
gression of types proceeds uniformly
and persistently, save as prevented by
mans interference in selecting only the
best for propagation. This law should
be better understood and recognized.
When so understood, man will know
why grade male should never be used
il he would maintain the excellence of
his hOcks and herds.

A Boy Dairyman.

We are in receipt of nice letter from
boy reader of these notes, who lives in
Winnesheik county, which, we regret, is
too lengthy for reproduction, giving his
boyish ideas of how the COW ought to be
treated on the farm. He has wise lit
tie head on him for one so young and up
to date ideas as to how the COW should
be cared for so as to make her produce
one and one-half pounds of butter day.
He states truth as big as big as barn
when he says that men who have more
cows than they can care for in the right
and best way, should sell off part of
their stock and keep only SO many as
they can care for and make profitable.
He naively adds that all he wants is
money enough to start, and he will show
the WinneshielS fellows the best dairy
in the county. He will have the money
and the dairy too before ten years, or we
miss our guess.

Agricultural Competition.

An interesting phase of our western
agricultural progress, coupled with the
marvellous cheapening of freight rates,
is the wreck it has wrought with Eng
fish agriculture. We noticed an adver-
tisement in an English paper not long
since, where fine farm of 260 acres was
offered to any man who would put up
security to pay the taxes, tithes and
public charges assessed against it.
Twenty or thirty years ago this land
would have rented for % to so per acre,
the wheat raised on it bringing 1925 per
bushel, the hogs $40 per cwt., the fat
beeves II or 10 cents per 10. Today a
bushel of Dakota wheat is laid down in
Liverpool for Is cents, Iowa pork at b
and 8 cents, New Zealand and Argentine
mutton at and 9 cents, and my Lord
in the castle on the hill finds it hard
lines to keep up the ancient splendor of
his baronial halls with his rent roll
knocked into cooked hat by American
competition, and some Of his kind are
starting milliner's shops, bakeries, and
the like in the big cities to keep body
and soul together. The fact is, Uncle

The First Hired Man.

The first hired man in recorded his
tory was Jacob, and just as hired men
will today, he fell in love with the
daughter of his master. Now, old La
ban was pretty shrewd and played Jake
for sucker, for he got Jake to agree to
work for seven years for the girl, and
when the seven years was up, made him
marry the old maid of the family in
stead of giving him the girl he had work
ed for. Jake then had to work another
seven years for the girl, and while doing
this, he laid for the old man and devised
a bright scheme to beat him out of his
property, which he did just as soon as he
got his girl. The world is still full of
the farces, tragedies and comedies in
which the hired man, the granger and
the granger's daughter are principals
nd actors.

Farmers always sell their products
more readily on falling than on a ris-

prices are falling, they sell for fear the
price will go still lower; when it is ris-

90 still higher, and many time they
get left by following this plan.
